hanbot glares at prospect of having to install new package --just to verify gpg sig--

mod6: thanks :]
mod6: whole thing takes < 30 minutes to dl, build, & test.
asciilifeform: hanbot: just this one!
asciilifeform: hanbot: ben_vulpes sent a gpg-native binary sig instead of a standard ascii-armoured one by mistake.
asciilifeform: so it got mutilated.
ben_vulpes: ignorance, really.
mod6: at some point next month, i write up a guide on how to set up cucumber as well so any one else who wants to use this can do so on their own environment.

asciilifeform: clisp ?
asciilifeform: clisp is a mostly-standardcompliant implementation of the language - but very slow
asciilifeform: but is slow because of the very cross-platformy way in which it was written
asciilifeform: so on some exotic machines, it may be your only option.
asciilifeform: folks who bring in very tangible money from cl-related work, and want/need a serious support relationship, might benefit from franz or lispworks

Microsoft is not even a contributory cause -- Bill Gates isn't smart enough to invent or create something like this.

decimation: heh yeah I was amused by the same paragraph, where naggum predicts the fall of micrsoft, that's more-or-less playing out now
asciilifeform: one of the hyenas fighting over the corpse (google et al), plus the still-living organs of the corpse, will become the new microshit.
asciilifeform: just as was the case after the fall of ibm.
decimation: of course, it's more than just a 'marketing gimmick', microsoft more-or-less requires all hardware to be painted with its binaries
asciilifeform: the coveted 'garden of eden' situation where ~there isn't a microshit~, when there is not a usg department-of-computing that has its tentacles in every orifice - won't be coming back until some quasi-mythical breakthrough decentralizes chip fabbing
asciilifeform: as it is, the industry is ~intrinsically~ usgtronic

ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: i'd probably bite it off myself, simply because there isn't much by way of CL horsepower around the shop.
ben_vulpes: that said, give me six hours and i can figure out whatever's in flight and load it into someone else's head.
ben_vulpes: good way to minimize single points of failure.
asciilifeform is aware of folks who hire for 'we don't care what you write it in', but shudders at the thought of 'cl work' - it could only result from an astonishingly gnarly pre-existing codebase
ben_vulpes: it's the 'work' part you really object to, let's be honest here.
asciilifeform: no shit
ben_vulpes: cranks need turning, no avoiding that.
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: did you see the libuv folks are colonizing cl?
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: yeah
ben_vulpes: "cl-async"
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: No one ever gets called to extend a program's feature-set? Nonsense.
asciilifeform: derps can 'colonize cl' in precisely the same way redditards colonize bitcoin.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: I don't know anything aobut libuv and as such didn't comment.
ben_vulpes: simply smells of node to me.
asciilifeform: which is to say, from their point of view, they will always succeed.
asciilifeform: <ben_vulpes> cranks need turning, no avoiding that. << wtf is the point of a computer if not to avoid this ?
ben_vulpes: the "async" cl webserver the nodebros are banging on about blocks the repl when instantiated in a cl-async 'event loop', unlike how hunchentoot starts a server and then returns on threaded sbcl.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: well the cranks that turn the cranks need to be written, and then the machine that turns the meta-cranks built.
asciilifeform: blocks repl, as in, runs single-threaded ?!
ben_vulpes: (as:with-event-loop (as:await (sleep 3))) will indeed block.
asciilifeform: what are they using for a runtime?! xlisp under msdos ?!!
ben_vulpes: i suspect that they're not using emacs, but rather doing the "compile, run" thing.
asciilifeform: even then
ben_vulpes shrugs
asciilifeform: wtf is the point?
ben_vulpes: looks like braindamage, smells like braindamage, can't say as i care to dig further into it when there are food credits to scrape up elsewhere and the scraping to automate.
asciilifeform wonders why these folks took cl from the shelf, rather than something more 'komyoonitiful'
ben_vulpes: heh like the "modern cl" thinger?
asciilifeform: any number of
asciilifeform: at any rate, there is a lesson: the difference between ending up like this in cl and in, e.g., python, is sorta like the difference between being covered in own shit in civilian life, vs. inside an oubliette
asciilifeform: in the latter cases, respectively, it is an expected thing.

gabriel_laddel: I can't wait for the inevitable blog post about how "CL isn't really all that good" and "the language has serious problems and a lack of tooling"
asciilifeform: iirc yegge already wrote that one
ben_vulpes really off with dog now
gabriel_laddel: Yep. Him and many others. One rubyist had a particularly entertaining one where he complained about Naggum (who had already passed) being "toxic for the community".

asciilifeform: in precisely the same way as mircea_popescu 'is toxic' to the derpunity
ben_vulpes: (i happen to enjoy the amount of study that writing cl takes)
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: what, like trolling through CLHS?
ben_vulpes: and cltl2
gabriel_laddel: "... a magnificent job. I have never seen a language description that is more complete or more precise, yet each chapter is throughly enjoyable and subtly witty. The book is absolutely indispensable for all serious LISP students and users; its high quality is a major reason why Common LISP is *the* LISP of the future" - Patrick Henry Winston
gabriel_laddel: (from the back of cltl2)
shinohai: I don't see mp as "toxic", he merely destroys the illusions people have of themselves and leaves them standing with the truth of what they are.
gabriel_laddel: shinohai: in derpspeak, this is "toxic"
shinohai: Oh I know. Anything that measure up to the r/bitcoin status quo is automatically "trolling" or "toxic to the community".
shinohai: *doesn't

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel youtube decided to do some "upgrade" or other and as a result it no longer works. sorry.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall hearing that they were finally abolishing 'flash' there
mircea_popescu: i was not using flash.
BingoBoingo: Not yet. Now that I've got the right Crystal Space got to take the time to compile it. Still, Nvidia's CS toolkit doesn't exist on this platform so that should be fun to bang the head against until crystalspace 2.2 removes that dependency
mircea_popescu: i was using html5. which they never really supported because ads.
mircea_popescu: i guess they finally squeezed it out.
mircea_popescu: punkman does it actually do what it claims or does it merely claim stuff it does ?
mircea_popescu: so /me goes to investigate this kingdom of loathing mud thingee. wikipedia claims 150k players playing regularly. /me has never seen > 500 players logged in. /me is confused.
asciilifeform briefly flipped through the 'rwasa' published code, certain of finding that it links openssl, but - it told the truth; did not do so; has own rsa. can't say much else
asciilifeform: i could be mistaken. (because i also did not find where the hell it does it)
asciilifeform: unfortunately i do not at the moment have the time for a closer look, currently boiling in a cauldron of wurk
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel has the authority to hire subcontractors just like this ? << maybe would just like to have it.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> which is to say, from their point of view, they will always succeed. << ahaha apt.

punkman: asciilifeform: TLS stuff is in that HeavyThing library
asciilifeform: punkman: it was the only published src iirc
punkman: mircea_popescu: looks credible, haven't tried it yet though
mircea_popescu: i dunno, to me it looks perfectly not credible, but then again i'm a toxic asshole.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: curious, what part of it sets off your sc4mz0r-detector
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, "this is a magical brothel where the girls extend ectoplasm cunts and satisfactorily reach your very soul. wanna see it in action ? sure, here : ***not working atm***".
asciilifeform: from here it looks like just another 'we did X but in asm!' projects
asciilifeform: used to be a fairly common thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the part where they make wildly improbable claims (ex : purely passive traffic fingerprinting mechanisms to identify the players behind any incidental TCP/IP communications (often as little as a single normal SYN) without interfering in any way.) but then mishmashingly backtrack on it (this release candidate still has a relatively small database of fingerprints) and so on
asciilifeform: wai wai
mircea_popescu: reads exactly like a sophomore paper to me
asciilifeform: wrong link
asciilifeform: i was describing the web server in asm item
punkman: mircea_popescu: oh I meant rwasa looks credible
mircea_popescu: i was describing the "especially in settings where NMap probes are blocked, too slow, unreliable" bs.
mircea_popescu: really, they beat nmap, check em out.
asciilifeform: as for that one, you could, conceivably, look at sequence numbers and learn when a severely broken tcp/ip stack is in use
asciilifeform: but this is '90 state of the art
mircea_popescu: but if you did that for any period of time you'd know better than to make the sort of promises htey make.
mircea_popescu: ie, you could just as well NOT be able to identify anything
asciilifeform: classic academitardation.
mircea_popescu: the other thing i have nfi idea.
mircea_popescu: i'm not advanced enough to have an opinion.
punkman: "For TCP/IP, the tool fingerprints the client-originating SYN packet and the first SYN+ACK response from the server, paying attention to factors such as the ordering of TCP options, the relation between maximum segment size and window size, the progression of TCP timestamps, and the state of about a dozen possible implementation quirks (e.g. non-zero values in "must be zero" fields)."
punkman: that looks interesting to me
mircea_popescu: it may well be interesting.

mircea_popescu: and no, they're me impromptu.
Adlai might be interested in making an emacs client
Adlai generally avoids gooey games
mircea_popescu: what's gooey ?
Adlai: a pun :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, diana_coman has been doing some work on making a client api, might be useful stepping stone.
mircea_popescu: prolly be released this week,
Adlai still busy elsewhere atm
mircea_popescu: afaik this would be the first ever case of a 3d mmorpg with a text client
mircea_popescu: considering vlc has had an ascii art rendering plugin for many years now, there's really no limit to how epic that client could end up
mircea_popescu: and jurov's working on an irc integration thingee, which i intend to upgrade to gossipd once that's done, and generally...
mircea_popescu: euloraos.
mats: does WoW count as a '3d mmorpg'? I've seen a few (unsanctioned) chat clients for it
asciilifeform: 'GPG for data at rest. TLS for data in motion. You can also use Guttman’s cryptlib, which has a sane API. Or Google Keyczar. They both have really simple interfaces, and they try to make it hard to do the wrong thing.' << l0l!!
phf: "wisdom"
mircea_popescu: mats chat client not really what this is tho. and besides, "unsanctioned"
asciilifeform: whizzdum
mircea_popescu: wtf is "Data at rest"
mircea_popescu: "clean rectum" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nsa phrase

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doesn't that technically put them in motion ?
mircea_popescu: or is this the side of the bureaucracy that's not a stickler for detail.
asciilifeform: take it up with herr goebbels or whoever is in charge of this claptrap
