mircea_popescu: this magical item that can charge your credit card to the max, has no duty to protect you (you have a duty to protect him). no fucking wonder every prole aspires to police himself.
ben_vulpes: "might be interesting to look at" as a legal problem cracked me up when i first learned of it
ben_vulpes: what halfway curious kid hasn't climed all over an excavator
mircea_popescu: i famously ~stole~ a 200hp excavator as a 6 yo.
mircea_popescu: people collectively lost it and deposed me within 3 minutes, but hey!
mircea_popescu: nobody expected 6yo could figure out how to run the thing.
ben_vulpes: figure out? were controls marvelously different from controls of other motorized things?
ben_vulpes: or 'excavator' -- with treads and arm and bucket?

BingoBoingo: ;;later tell jurov Sorry for the ambiguity. I mean you could help mod6 with the disposition of his shares.

BingoBoingo: mod6: In the future <p> tags are superfluous and what is this thing where you insert superfluous line breaks?
BingoBoingo: But seriously great submission

mod6: sorry, i must have overlooked that
BingoBoingo: happens
BingoBoingo: ty, fxd
mod6: im sortof overly paraniod about 80 col wraps. if i set a command in vim to do it for me, i feel like its not always consistant.
mod6: *shrug*
mod6: yup thanks for updating
BingoBoingo: But yes, 80 col wrap is out of spec for qntra's actually adaptive layout.
mod6: ok so for future ref just set no wrap and it should be fine then?

mircea_popescu: mod6 so here's a q : suppose a ticket gets allocated to a name. how does tbot know this ? suppose the name completes the ticket. how's tbot know ?
mircea_popescu: seems we need two more items right ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai let me guess, phantomcircuit works for them ?

mod6: mircea_popescu: so during development, i decided not to allow assignment for tickets; i wanted to encourage all to look at tickets and possibly propose solutions or changes to even patches submitted (denoted in the notes section??)
mod6: irl, it seems like if a guy isn't assigned a ticket, he rarely looks at it.
mod6: err, meaning, if it is assigned to a person already.
mircea_popescu: ok but how do you track progress ? "this is done" "oh yeah ? when ? by whom ?"
mod6: and the idea of "done" can be a different field.
mircea_popescu: well, other than that assignment can be informal.
shinohai: gg on Qntra mod6
mod6: but i was thinking that it would either be removed from the tree, OR, would simply just have something edited in the subject. like "DONE: Blah Blah ticket for something"
mircea_popescu: removed from tree is no good because we lose information this way.
mod6: the latter for traceability
mod6: yeah, i like the idea of just editing the ticket to "DONE"
mircea_popescu: also important, suppose i want to split up a ticket later. what should i do, delete and re-enter ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 should be done BY X. so i know who to chase.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-11#1481012 << when the nice kind fell in price enough and i got a crate ?

mircea_popescu: heh mkay.
mircea_popescu: fuck ssds.
asciilifeform: i have 4 x 1t in this particular box, for instance (hardware raid)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu likes massive stacks of cheapo mechanicals ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> also important, suppose i want to split up a ticket later. what should i do, delete and re-enter ? << so saythat UCI ticket 7 needs to become two seperate tickets and the original didn't capture what it was supposed to capture; i would just make a new ticket, and then edit the existing one to reform what would be or seem correct.
mircea_popescu: oh i can edit them can't i. yeah ok that should work.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 should be done BY X. so i know who to chase. << I think if someone wants to put their name on a ticket, ... ok, and they can put a completion date in there.
mod6: we all know how that usually goes.
mod6: in scrum people estimate tickets not based on time, but how "large" they think a story is or might be. and they use fib numbers for this -- typically: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20
mod6: and anything over a 20 should be certainly broken down into smaller chunks if possible.
mod6: oh, how? people often miss deadlines, especially developers. im just as guilty as anyone.
mircea_popescu: ah, but i wasn't talking about deadlines.
mircea_popescu: i'm only importing the sane parts of management.
mod6: :]
asciilifeform takes off hat
mod6: ok sounds good. thought maybe you were thinking about adding a date field. and btw, any of these things can really be added without too much trouble at all if we really find a dire need for them in the future.
mod6: these separate fields can help with sorting and reporting and all that... especially.
mircea_popescu: the point is, if something should be found not to work properly, gotta know who to chase to fix it and more importantly, who to scrutinize in the future. which system allows us to not even bother with quality control - check your shit, and god help you if downstream keeps having to complain.
mod6: but we're not there yet anyway.
mod6: ah
mircea_popescu: of course alf doesn't count as downstream, he complains anyway.
mod6: ok. so what I was thinking, at least for the quick/dirty method was that lord of a project would update tickets with peoples' submitted vpatches linked either from the ML or if/when accepted. doesn't only relate to TRB obv.
mircea_popescu: there is one problem where any ticket's notes must be shorter than cannonical irc line - trims.
mircea_popescu: i ran into it yest.
mod6: (like in the notes section and that would give some traceability to who is doing what and who can get blame)
mod6: oh really?
mircea_popescu: lemme fish it out
mod6: hrm. i'll have to see what I can do about that -- not sure if i can make it longer than a canonical irc line, but it should be at least that long
mod6: shinohai: thanks!

Directs worker to execute accept
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point being, there's a short space in the notes for ticket ; can't add too much in there, so it prolly can't be "update tickets with vpatches"
mircea_popescu: oops. i mean mod6
mod6: ah. ok..
mod6: yeah looks like it didn't get added
mod6: and that may be because it didn't see the closing "
mircea_popescu: well yeah.

mircea_popescu: and it can't see it if linebroken
mod6: ok, yeah, on the cli version you kind of have tons of space because IRC line isn't a thing.
mircea_popescu: now obviously, we could change it to take dpaste input ? the only snag is, i dunno we want LONG tickets anyway.
mircea_popescu: if it has to be that long why not break it up.
mod6: Right.
mod6: Ok, very solid points here.
mircea_popescu: so this point can be left for later i guess.

mircea_popescu: ^ which article incidentally suggests to me a whole large scale recuperation project, much in the way "nigger" used to mean black person but now simply means government leech.
mircea_popescu: specifically "ecology" has historically been a tool of socialists deployed to hinder capitalism, on the flimsy basis of "look how economic activity renders the substrate unfit for later, undefined economic activity".
mircea_popescu: exactly in the same vein, ecology should cease to mean "the activity of capitalists ruining the earth", and instead properly mean the activity of socialists ruining humanity.
mircea_popescu: this process whereby they spread their poison, getting idiots to believe the sort of stupid shit they sprout is the true ecological damage.
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather take a new york or san francisco that had a nuke blown overhead ; than the exact same new york or san francisco that had socialist propaganda blown overhead. the former's much easier to clean up than the latter.
