Bingoboingo: to use for what?
punkman: aforementioned shouldner/neck strain
Bingoboingo: Could work well. Would work better if you can find such a linament with an NSAID drug like salicyclate or naproxen in it. Or use two linaments.
punkman: tried yesterday for first time, was an ok distraction for a while
Bingoboingo: Well, that's kinda how these things work.
punkman: waiting for pharmacy to open to get some topical nsaid gel
punkman: if I can still move in an hour
Bingoboingo: Not going to magically repair the strain, but can cover the pain.
Bingoboingo: Just don't touch your dick until yours hands are clean.

ascii_field: and the answer is: never
ascii_field: because said block could be anything.
ascii_field: trinque: a connection of the civilized world to the heathen world is necessarily a fortified outpost run by enthusiasts
ascii_field: cannot be considered a reliable thing in any sense
trinque: blocks/txns would not be originating inside wotnet for some time, correct?
ascii_field: txns - occasionally; blocks - not afaik
trinque: would it be reasonable to disconnect after some number of bastard blocks?
ascii_field: the ~reasonable~ thing would be to NUKE the whole sync-from-one-at-a-time idiocy
ascii_field: and on top of this,
ascii_field: when your node is young, MOST of the blocks you get from ANYBODY are 'bastard'
ascii_field: because of the sheer extent of the retardation of the sync mechanism as originally written

mircea_popescu: gentoo's a fallen thing.
mircea_popescu: But wait, there's more! C++ supports a wide variety of explicit and implicit type conversions, so now we have a nice set of rules describing the cartesian product of all those types, specifically, how conversion should be handled for each pair of types. For example, if your function accepts const std::vector<const char*>& (which is supposed to mean "a reference to an immutable vector of pointers to immutable built-in s
mircea_popescu: trings"), and I have a std::vector<char*> object ("a mutable vector of mutable built-in strings"), then I can't pass it to your function because the types aren't convertible. You have to admit that it doesn't make any sense, because your function guarantees that it won't change anything, and I guarantee that I don't even mind having anything changed, and still the C++ type system gets in the way and the only sane worka
mircea_popescu: round is to copy the vector. And this is an extremely simple example - no virtual inheritance, no user-defined conversion operators, etc.
mircea_popescu: not bad.
mircea_popescu: At the bottom line, throw/catch are about as useful as longjmp/setjmp (BTW, the former typically runs faster, but it's mere existence makes the rest of the code run slower, which is almost never acknowledged by C++ aficionados).
mircea_popescu: aha. lol.

mircea_popescu: "Take the grease which comes from the sawdust of marble when those great tombs of black marble be sawn, then boil it well in wine like a piece of meat and skim it, and then set it out to dry in the sun; and boil, skim and dry nine times; and thus it will be good."
mircea_popescu: Such a recipe presumably creates grains of a size in a precise ratio to a standard hour-glass neck size, thus producing an accurate time.”
mircea_popescu: dude what the everloving fuck is wrong with szabo.
mircea_popescu: he can't be this dumb.
mircea_popescu: "The origin of the sandglass is quite obscure, but its accuracy relies on a precise ratio between the neck width and the grain diameter."

mircea_popescu: Thus second main drawback to piece rates is that they motivate the worker to put out more quantity at the expense of quality. This can be devastating. The tendency of communist countries to pay piece rates, rather than hourly rates, is one reason that, while the Soviet bloc’s quantity (and thus the most straightforward measurements of economic growth) was able to keep up with the West, quality did not (thus the
