phf: i only vaguely remember that talk, because i listened to it under the influence, and at some point i was convinced that i could perform magical rituals, and the only thing keeping me from fundamentally affecting reality was years of societal conditioning that i could at the time overcome. i think i was also at some point convinced that bush was a great grandson of aliester crowley by way of pauline pierce, and that he's going to bring about
phf: the appocalypse. the details are a bit hazy
phf: *that i could not
ag3nt_zer0: yeah... you ever look into the jack parsons/crowley/hubbard threesome?
ag3nt_zer0: pretty weird considering what hubbard went on to do
ag3nt_zer0: in Kali haha
phf: i'm sure hubbard just lifted whatever he could from his time at the agape lodge
phf: parsons is quite a character, there's a nice writeup about him and the whole crowley/hubbard connection in "apocalypse culture"
phf: though i'm not sure how much i want to put to public record on this subject. i made some interesting friends when i moved to this country, unfortunately this whole culture seemed to have died out. even when i was enjoying it, it was mostly archival work

hanbot: n6: get in the wot, don't pester people via pm, and forget about any braindamaged notions of "lobbying MP" you've cooked up for yourself.
mircea_popescu: !up onlooker
mircea_popescu: trinque actually trump has been rich for a while.
onlooker: hi there, would you like to share your thoughts on copyright? I've only come across your writings today and found them most entertaining.
mircea_popescu: iirc lost it all in a dubious las vegas casinos transaction with fucking merv griffin.
mircea_popescu: onlooker it's complicated.
trinque: mircea_popescu: one thing occured to me this evening re: trump. he's telling the other people running to their faces that he's bought and paid for all of them in the past.
trinque: I love that.
trinque: mod6: putting that email together
n6: hanbot: sorry I lost my key(Not a person), still trying to fix my lsub issue on gentoo before I make a new one.
onlooker: lol, well thats no surprise, governments specialize in making simple things complicated
mircea_popescu: it's not really true. man's no rockerfeller. son of a middling queens landlord is all.
asciilifeform: i don't see how it 'is complicated' at all. folks who wanna be paid when i copy a number, get a raging hardon for the state (tm) (r) when it makes noises of promise to make it happen
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ever been privy to something on the understanding you won't be sharing it ?
mircea_popescu: do you propose to do away with the POSSIBLITY of that understanding ?
asciilifeform: nah. just object to this kind of thing happening in a consumer setting
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, then... it's complicated.
asciilifeform: where the negotiating leverage on one side of the table is nil
mircea_popescu: as usual, consumers have no business in any of the places they stuff themselve.s
onlooker: I don't think copyright is the same thing as keeping a secret, if you keep a secret and you keep it well then you don't need copyright
hanbot: n6 alright, so then make that your top priority.
asciilifeform: when i buy a piece of shit from a street merchant i ain't taking no oath.
asciilifeform: he wants oath, can fuck himself
mircea_popescu: that's between you two.
mircea_popescu: so then...
asciilifeform: 'click-through oath!!!'
onlooker: if you fail to keep a secret they you have two choices, you can blame yourself for not keeping it well, or you can blame me and try to enforce copyright
mircea_popescu: don't be coming to me to relieve you of oaths you took on the theory that you shouldn't have and if you were a better man you wouldn't have.
asciilifeform: except i didn't
mircea_popescu: then i don't need to have an oppinion on it.
n6: hanbot: thanks I will get on that right now.
asciilifeform: well somebody mentioned 'copyright'
asciilifeform: which as i understand is the perverse concept that somebody gets to bang on my door and demand gold for copying a number
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1231425 << jesus definitely was a socialist. something something all people something.

onlooker: mircea popescu, you don't need to have an opinion about the color of you shit either lol...
mircea_popescu: there's a trilema article about that, actually.
asciilifeform: 'tis one thing if i was given a secret, swore an other. entirely other thing when i find a number scribbled on the sidewalk and decide to scribble it elsewhere
asciilifeform: *an oath
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform supposedly it wasn't on the sidewalk.
n6: trinque, asciilifeform: Would you be able to point me to a place where I can learn how to build lsub on my mac then put it on a usb drive and move it to gentoo so I can get wireless working and make a key?
mircea_popescu: consider the controlling case, as i opposed it to diametric s question back in the day. so quentin tarantino comes in here all upsed about you copying his latest movie. what do i say, "fuck off qt, if you made a movie you didn'ty make that movie" ?
asciilifeform: n6: nope
mircea_popescu: i ain't saying that.
trinque: n6: I'm making a script that puts gentoo on a stick, or any block device really
trinque: not done yet, let ya know
trinque: mod6: sent
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd say ~yes~. 'find a revenue model that doesn't rely on armed thugs breaking down my door for copying a fucking number, and i never signed any contracts with this fella'
mircea_popescu: still his movie.
asciilifeform: he can beg on the streets if he wants.
mircea_popescu: he'll probably go to syria and smuggle arms.
asciilifeform: syria needs arms.
mircea_popescu: so you're gonna pick careers for tarantino now ?
mircea_popescu: awful lot of work.
asciilifeform: he can do honest work, like this, instead of trying to monkey with my bits.
mircea_popescu: i thought we were aiming to avoid makework.
asciilifeform: (yes, the bits are ~mine~, they are on my disk)
asciilifeform: keeping fella's hands out of my arse != 'choosing careers for'
mircea_popescu: (ftr, the arms smuggle thing did happen. almost quite to syria. for 10 points, name the famous french poet who did this in his teens)
asciilifeform: french?
onlooker: I asked if you had an opinion, from the perspective of someone who seems intelligent and uses bigger words than me. I appreciate you taking the time to reply at all, I don't mind if you have no opinion, just I hoped you would see copyright as the elitists use to tell poor people they are not allowed to think
asciilifeform: 'cause my first thought was byron
n6: trinque: how would that help me? can I build it from the source already on the pc?
mircea_popescu: nah, byron was a poseur.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrelated, when did anyone suddenly open a kindergarten in here ?
asciilifeform: i must've missed it
onlooker: *as something the elitests use..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think it always was half that.
mircea_popescu: onlooker i'm quite famously elitist.
asciilifeform: n6: since nobody else is standing up to do it, i will tell you the bad news: it appears that you are not yet ready for a source-based linux system
asciilifeform: n6: you will have to think and study on your own for a while.
asciilifeform: n6: trying to get hand-fed through this gnarly and unpleasant process will be frustrating both to you and to others

n6: asciilifeform: Yes I understand that and its awful to read for everyone else. sorry
n6: mircea_popescu: how can you self study if you don't even know what to look for?
asciilifeform: n6: please consider reading kernighan and pike's 'the unix programming environment'
asciilifeform: just to get a feel of what it is like
asciilifeform: write, build some simple programs
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1231442 << it might be that you don't know what an experiment actually is.
assbot: Logged on 08-08-2015 22:53:48; ag3nt_zer0: i did that damn "visualize a quarter" experiment for a couple weeks and whne i finally found one, it was glued to the pavement
n6: asciilifeform: Ok
asciilifeform: (this is a thin book, 1980s, inexpensive)
mircea_popescu: but it's not just a "hey, something to try out"
onlooker: mircea popescu, yes, but you appear to be of the more logical bent than the standard elitist. Take for example your claim the paying for good things is how we get good things, this may be logical, but in fact the way the world currently works stealing good things has proven to be far more effective, Bankers are elitist too, would you put yourself in the same category as them?
phf: rimbaud naturally
mircea_popescu: onlooker i am de facto a banker, but i doubt the term has any substantial meaning to you past "those meanie assholes that make the house i want cost more than i can afford".
mircea_popescu: phf win.
mircea_popescu: the argument re stealing is actually ancient. it was articulated by the pillars of roman thought, of all people.

assbot: Logged on 19-07-2014 03:17:34; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i didn't know any better, i'd imagine we went to uni together. we had 'the same' chick! she bedeviled our number theory prof with at least a hundred very boneheaded questions every lecture. he seethed, boiled, but couldn't throw her out. why? 'registered special needs.' (going for math degree!) she even got unlimited time on exams.

onlooker: mircea popescu, exactly and I wouldn't put you in the same category either despite your claim that you are a defacto banker. Anyway, I won't pay for your work, despite admiring your lovely way with language. I just feel that the one thing you miss is that you are not the only one able to come up with genius. Did one person invent the light globe? Copyright seems to say yes, but then the history of the victors is nothing new
mircea_popescu: in this view the nsa spying is more a required public service, like emergency health care.
mircea_popescu: onlooker copyright does not refer to inventions.
onlooker: at least Bitcoin is giving a larger voice to some
asciilifeform: wai wut ?!
asciilifeform perhaps lacks the lsd to follow this thread
mircea_popescu: which of the i dunno, three or so
asciilifeform: the 'bitcoin gives voice'
mircea_popescu: lol irony
mircea_popescu: !up onlooker
mircea_popescu: well, it gives voice to someone somewhere i'm sure.
asciilifeform: the 'gurl with 1000 beta' is pretty clear, though it is a case of '1,2,3,infinity'
mircea_popescu: so it is.
asciilifeform: consider a circa-1990s email box
asciilifeform: it is a thing that barely exists outside of the chore of shoveling spamola
asciilifeform: ('98, let's say specifically)
mod6: trinque: sig verifies & patch applies cleanly. thx again.
onlooker: mircea, if you are distinguishing between copyright and patents it seems a petty distinction to me. I put them in the same category, both intend to punish people for copying thoughts and ideas
mircea_popescu: when did knuth give it up, 86 ?
asciilifeform: '89 iirc but not related to spam
asciilifeform: just to the chore of interacting with people
mircea_popescu: onlooker one attaches to form, the other attaches to concept. this is a fundamental distinction in any case. see the earlier thread re lost 1800 tech know-how, and the russian z80s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you perceive a difference there ?
onlooker: askiilifeform, perhaps I should say math is giving voice to the poor, because it doesn't distinguish my data from yours
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: between the chore of shoveling '98 spam and the chore of answering mail from other maths folks ?
asciilifeform: yes, difference. (though i appreciate knuth's choice)
mircea_popescu: what is it ? lower bar for one group ?
asciilifeform: one is people and the other is cockroaches
asciilifeform: both 'kingdom animalia', sure
mircea_popescu: mebbe not to knuth. but anyway
assbot: Logged on 08-08-2015 23:32:08; mats: bet it's delicious with soy sauce and ginger
onlooker: it only distinguishes correct data from incorrect
asciilifeform: onlooker: 'math' as this mythological 'sword in the stone' that 'anyone!!!111!!' can just pick up and use, is unfortunately a fiction
mircea_popescu: onlooker how are the poor getting correct data iyo ?
mircea_popescu: especially with no copyright. they just get cut out of the loop entirely.
mircea_popescu: me and five people will see the cannes films and poor people can watch reruns of "best ads of superbowl" over at denny's.
asciilifeform: onlooker: consider, for instance, the predicament of somebody trying to correctly implement plain old rsa algo.
asciilifeform: if you think that you can do it from a textbook, think again.
mircea_popescu: to everyone's benefit, this, of course. but anyway.
asciilifeform: and rsa is ~much~ simpler than, e.g., bitcoin.
asciilifeform: yet virtually anyone who has ever done it, had to saw open six different existing incarnations and study
mircea_popescu: what textbooks ? there are no textbooks because why sell shit for 10 dollars
asciilifeform: and ~still~ had even chances of blowing own head off
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'textbooks' in this case being - once you reject the outright drivel and pediwikia printouts - dour and very terse, encyclopaedic overview of the basic maths, typically
mircea_popescu: which strictly exists because of the whole IP convention.
onlooker: I have a son, he's 9 months old, I have to change his nappy, he doesn't respect math, time, copyright or patent. He's poor. My nephew is 12, he has no money of his own, but he has a computer, mines his own coins, and although they are not worth much, he's able to participate, He can't participate in Banking, he's not even allowed to use his own account

asciilifeform: he is 'participating' in politics ?
onlooker: who are the vast majority of the poor? well, I would argue that those under 15 in the USSA have the biggest skin in the economic game despite being currently mostly excluded from it lol... Crypto could/may change that
asciilifeform: pray tell, how
mircea_popescu: turns out a bunch of pakis trafficked white girls as young as 12 by the thousands, for the reason of being white. which was concealed by the brits.
mircea_popescu: onlooker under 15 what, yo ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: could've sworn this was in the logz
mircea_popescu: if it was i missed it. but really, 20 years, 1-2k girls, this broadly speaking is on par with the results of the serbs.
asciilifeform: except that it was done by the darlings of the lizards
onlooker: mircea popescu, ask yourself this, would bitcoin work without copyright, if the answer is yes, then it's not a requirement for ideas to be shared while keeping an ownership record

mircea_popescu: and i didn't even charge them for the copyright.
asciilifeform: surprised they paid attention!
onlooker: let me try another angle, would bitcoin work if it wasn't copyrighted? And if the answer is yes, does it follow that this means we can share ideas while keeping a record of who owns what without requiring this antiquated legal system?

trinque: read the logs, guy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is, you gotta contend with the fact that to many folks, 'copyright' ~means~ britney and microshit

asciilifeform: we aren't getting mozart for the bargain, no
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i know where he's coming from. but what do you want me to say.

onlooker: asciilifeform thanks for asking, I guess a lot of the ideas I'm interested in homeopathic and medical stuff. There's a lot of "cures" out there, and so much of it is behind paywalls. I don't really have a plan for how to change it, I just expect it change for the same reason I expect the money to end.
mircea_popescu: in any case, there's no rescuing the poor (and it's a morally dubious proposition to even try). let instead those of the poor that are there undeservedly claw their way out. over many generations of belaboured effort, ideally.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose this is when we say that the log is both free and good reading and call it a day.
ben_vulpes: !down onlooker
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: folks who were reading the fucking log, had zero problems.
ben_vulpes: i'm here for ten minutes
ben_vulpes: patches and submissions to the ml must stand on their own.
mircea_popescu: we should be in a syncronised swimming team ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: log is not adequate documentation.
asciilifeform: folks who somehow thought that the ml has meaning outside of #b-a, and happened to show up and read ml in precisely the wrong three minutes - may have scratched their head in frustration
asciilifeform: and had to patch again, rebuild.
ben_vulpes: "corrected" with no further context is useless.

asciilifeform: will let ben_vulpes do it.
ben_vulpes: eh relax
asciilifeform: srsly context was in the log. and the first time anybody asked, i linked to it.
asciilifeform: i would dearly love to write a lengthy treatise to the ml on every single occasion
asciilifeform: but sadly i work in uranium mine and - not so much time, energy.
asciilifeform: incidentally there is nothing shameful in writing a commentary to another fella's patch

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ah k
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: no arguments there.
ben_vulpes: but patches *must stand alone*
asciilifeform: for the eulora folks, i will point out that the toolchain in 'rotor' could just as easily build their thing
asciilifeform: if there was some reason to.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the patches produced with antecedent marks (see earlier thread) could, hypothetically, stand alone.
ben_vulpes: don't confuse the issue.
asciilifeform: one would, if lacking any other guidance, take 'longest chain'

mircea_popescu: chetty : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-08-2015#1231874 here is your argument, in all its hideous nude glory. and it goes like so :
assbot: Logged on 09-08-2015 05:26:46; mircea_popescu: apropos of nothing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_child_sexual_exploitation_scandal
mircea_popescu: some people, for reasons nobody really grasps in spite of trying for millenia (yes, it's a thing since forever) and in spite of having maybe some decent theories, want to fuck twelve year olds.
mircea_popescu: the white people who want this generally sit around the internet "being cypherpunks" and exchanging... depictions of the act. and often enough being "caught" and "prosecuted", on the very untenable rationale that their engagement in the victimless "crime" of exchanging bits somehow promotes and empowers the actual people doing the actual crime of you know, raping preteens.
mircea_popescu: we don't really know what the paki people who want this do, chiefly because we don't want to. but if we do : in pakistan, they go right the fuck ahead and rape the lot. and in rotherdam, england, they do the exact same.
mircea_popescu: this is the whole thing. what'd you tell a guy who wants to rape twelve year olds ? that it's bad ? he did not ask you that. and you can tell him to you know, wait around on social media untill the cute teenie across the street douses herself in gasoline and invites him over.
mircea_popescu: the alternative, where he texts a chick "hey, we got our sister, we're torturing her, come join" just as the chick in question was giving testimony to the supposed government of the uk - a more illegitimate contrivance never having been known to man, incidentally, they have all the legitimacy to govern kim jong il's favourite dog does.
mircea_popescu: and she does. SHE DOES.
mircea_popescu: offered the simple choice of A. stick with the alleged representatives of the schmucks that trade pictures of your rape and jack off in "online anonymity" and joining the raping party, she chooses to join the raping party.
mircea_popescu: that's the discussion. there is not now, nor was ever, nor will ever be invented a manner, stratagem or device to circumvent activity, or to make the passive on par with the active.

mircea_popescu: the entire fancy with western society and emancipation and freedom and have you rests on the reserve, no matter how muted, that "it's either this or we rape you". it needs to sit there like the nuclear option needs to sit on the table, for once it goes away, twelve fucking year olds choose, of their own fucking free will, to join the pakis for an all night / all weekend / all the years to come anal stretching, caned bu
mircea_popescu: ttocks and generally bloodied existence. that's how her choice plays out, and in her age and in her anonimity i believe she stands representative.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the fucking ~times~ has to do its own investigation because the reps of the crown are completely lost in their pipe dreams to the point they're covering themselves in the mud of publicly ridicule eagery and with both hands.

mircea_popescu: seems odd. if you want it, that legitimacy and that position, boys and girls, this is what you do. and that you don't do it is why people, such as myself, mostly point and laugh at your untenable pretenses of "regulating" bitcoin or online whatever.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure "the commerce clause" allows one to invade and try rotherdam just as well as it allows one to put the silkroad derp in prison and try miloshevich. why the fuck not, after all.

mircea_popescu: whereas if you do not, she ~might~, maybe, manage to maintain superior brain function control over the rest of herself, and be some sort of a first approximation of the above. maybe. or maybe she won't, and go seek to be assuaged in the arms of other men, more inclined to provide the need - for it is a need. the surogates may work or not, but generally dont, and you'll know about it because if she thinks you're enough

mircea_popescu: in other lulz of today, "genocide of white race - all white women fuck black guys, white genes are recessive, future will be all black babies!!1"
mircea_popescu: derps never went to fucking school already. here's a little secret : the DEFINITION of a recessive gene is "the gene which never dies out"
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. why we still have hemophilia in spite of it not being desirable : dominant genes manifest by themselves, and thus you can't have unharmed carriers, and thus they die out under pressure.
mircea_popescu: recessive genes do not manifest by themselves, thus you can have unaffected carriers. thus they never die out.
mircea_popescu: and yes even today black couples have blue eyed, blond haired babies. it happens.
mircea_popescu idly imagines what nazi germany'd have been like if instead of extermination camps, they just had laws that made jewish women go around naked and always say yes to cock.

shinohai: I propose adding that location echo to the script mod6 so as not to cause noob hair-pulling.
mod6: If someone wants to give it a try on x86_64 on a similar linux let me know. I've had to install a few pre-reqs on a totally bare minimum 10.04 like: build-essentials, curl, rsync, and unzip
mod6: ah shinohai, location echo?

asciilifeform: but this does not magick away the problem of ~on what to develop~.

williamdunne: Yeah, seems pretty good so far. Only bummer is that all of the libraries I can take advantage of elsewhere don't really exist, and if they do they are entirely undocumented

mircea_popescu: i like teh approach phf
phf: a prof at umd (hanan samet, he did his grad work at stanford under john mccarthy) told me that he tried teaching SICP for a semester, with the predictable result of 90% failure rate. equally predictably parents started calling dean's office and sent in lawyers, the grades were nullified and his teaching methods questioned, of course he never tried teaching SICP again
asciilifeform: phf: samet!

mircea_popescu: i thot the vulgate is that lawyers aren't allowed on campus.

asciilifeform: and hell, 90% failure rate is ~mandatory~ in freshmen 'weeders'
asciilifeform: so there's gotta be some other part of this story.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a good idea incidewntally. if i ran the school, it'd be "this class fails 90% - if the teacher doesn't flunk that many we'll draw lots, but student body DOES get decimated one way or another"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't speak for other distros, but the magic moment of gentoo beginning its slide into hitler's bunker is often said to be the time when the lead programmer went to work for microshit.
mircea_popescu: i can see it
asciilifeform: thus shattering the illusion that 'everything benefits from being written by folks with day jobs' and 'open source lives well on sunshine and kisses'
mircea_popescu: everything does benefit from being written by folks with day jobs.
mircea_popescu: it shouldn't be MANAGED by them, however.
mircea_popescu: the proof of the fact that people with dayjobs can't manage are the dayjobs in question.
asciilifeform: i regard it as far from proven fact that these are separable activities in software-making.
mircea_popescu: what'd the proof look like ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25839 @ 0.00061284 = 15.8352 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: say, example of 'good management' in that sphere that doesn't, when you scratch it, reveal itself to be a case of programming-with-human-compilers
asciilifeform: (a la steve jobs)
asciilifeform: or, alternatively, example some software artifact even vaguely worth using, to intelligent folks, that was ~produced under sound management~
mircea_popescu: can anything in b-a qualify ?
asciilifeform: as opposed to, y'know, some idler who just felt like it. (unix, c, hell, lisp)
asciilifeform: qualify as... ?
asciilifeform: as proof ?
asciilifeform: could. but none of the items i'm personally familiar with in depth do
mircea_popescu: as "sphere which..."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eulora, conceivably, but i don't know enough about how it was built, and precisely by whom, and to what kind of outcome, to say anything interesting
assbot: #Eulora log for Sunday, 2015-08-09 ... ( http://bit.ly/1PfB2VM )
asciilifeform: but thus far most of the software artifacts i personally see as making a computer worth using at all, were written by one (or handful) of people, and largely on stolen/embezzled employer time, and under no management whatsoever other than the 'emperor in their heads'
asciilifeform: ^ not intended to imply that ~all~ items created this way are worth using

mircea_popescu: management is a complicated thing. like persay robinson crusoe (as depicted by defoe) was certainly managed.
mircea_popescu: well, he follows a script he carried over (in his memory), which was given him by people, rather than discovered by him on his own time.
asciilifeform: if this is 'managed', then a brick falling is 'managed'
mircea_popescu: kinda why it's very bad "fiction" : it presents us the nonsensical construct of a lone man that's part of the british empire.
mircea_popescu: for obvious ideological reasons, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: a brick falling is definitely managed.
asciilifeform: or what, i sit and write a sorter, and so i'm being managed by kerr knuth!?
asciilifeform: what honour!
asciilifeform: but i do not think this corresponds to the generally-understood meaning of the word 'management'
mircea_popescu: would you have wriutten the same sorter without him ?
mircea_popescu: depends generally understood by whom.
asciilifeform: conceivably. but would not be so tall without 'giant's shoulders'
mircea_popescu: !up dbit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform management as generally understood say by dilbert's strip is a sort of dour nagging.
mircea_popescu: management can also be understood as creation of proper schelling points
asciilifeform: i like to think of the more positive, stalin sense
mircea_popescu: (it's the view i moistly take)
mircea_popescu: and yes, that also.
dbit: mircea_popescu, can I have a Eulora account?

asciilifeform: in that one creates artifacts that become foundational for future people.
mircea_popescu: dbit oh if you already have a key just need it passed to assbot
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect you misnomer management as "programming skill"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i happen to regard the alarm clock as the single most destructively irritating thing in my entire existence
mircea_popescu: programming skill is necessarily "having preloaded in your head which words make bash not do this particular stupid thing"
asciilifeform: that's rather like saying that 'literary skill is good penmanship'
asciilifeform: yes, related. no, not equivalent.
mircea_popescu: there is definitely a lot of management involved in being a competent computer handler, by the nature of the thing
mircea_popescu: i guess this resolves our standing dispute re whores/programmers. turns out it was a misunderstanding.
asciilifeform: not sure if involved. at least in the usual sense. thing isn't a horse, or dog, more like a very ill-tuned piano
asciilifeform: it doesn't respond to incentives
asciilifeform: only massaging
mircea_popescu: management is not psychiatry.
mircea_popescu: you manage factories (also ill tuned pianos) not individual women on their period.
asciilifeform: but if your colleagues are insane ?
asciilifeform: then - psychiatry.

hanbot: the ml patching guide (http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-March/000067.html) step 0x07] Clean Source Base involves manifests which i take it are part of the guide's referenced patch tarballs. given the stator patch battery is single .patch file only, how's one to handle this step (and why does guide assume patch will come in ball?)?
asciilifeform had no part in writing the linked recipe
asciilifeform: and hanbot did you notice that this guide long pre-dates stator ?

hanbot: i did. is there a new&improved patching guide? i missed it if so
asciilifeform: i am unaware of it
asciilifeform: unless the automatic script created by ben_vulpes is one
asciilifeform: (i have not, unfortunately, tested the latter)
assbot: [BTC-dev] UPDATE: v0.5.4-TEST2 Pre-patched Test Bundle : TestersNeeded! ... ( http://bit.ly/1DEslTm )
asciilifeform: but not a patching guide, rather, patches were applied. but it tells you which, and you can obtain previous release tarball, apply them yourself, and compare the result.
hanbot: i think ben_vulpes' thingy was solely for dependencies + release, sans patching, could be wrong.
hanbot: i'll have a look at the test2 bit.
asciilifeform: hanbot: what are you trying to build ?
asciilifeform: i might be able to help

phf: haha
ben_vulpes: anyways, hit me up when you push your patch
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did eventually succeed with the rotor/stator combo
phf: a build process tool, relaytool, used in some ungodly way to produce a dynamic libraries during build. uses bash to work and is so specified in #!... configure wants to run it by explicitly providing bash /bin/bash ./bin/relaytool. somehow doesn't detect bash, so calls /bin/sh instead, which puts bash in sh emulation mode and breaks relaytool. this, and much more, in todays adventures with eulora builds!
