pete_dushenski: but both failed criteria 1 and 2. weren't cheap and kept breaking down (unless you think 'practical' is 'big boot', which imo is insufficient)
pete_dushenski: not cheap because leveraged resources of two world war winning titans of industry and their very concerted efforts to placate masses. today, bits on facesnap suffice.
pete_dushenski: cheap is always relative, not absolute.
asciilifeform: what, in pete_dushenski's view, means 'cheap' ? falls from sky ?
pete_dushenski: um. less expensive than alternative.
pete_dushenski: and in yours ?
asciilifeform: 'inexpensive after you kill the shysters who supplied the defective false alternatives'
pete_dushenski: aha. so yours is really 'cheap in future ideal world' and mine is cheap rfn.
pete_dushenski: makes sense.
pete_dushenski: so i'll drive citroen and you can drive dreams!
asciilifeform: generally i try to avoid drive.
asciilifeform: it is a chore.
pete_dushenski: no doubt about that. frozen prairies are same in this regard as dc swamplandia.
asciilifeform: not a chore because plastic panels, no. but -- chore.
pete_dushenski: you probably already know this but it's awfully hard to take your 'snore this' and 'kindergarten that' seriously when you move the goalposts so. but it's still fun trying to pin the lubed eel, don't get me wrong.

trinque: thing appeared to be ping/ponging with somebody, but in limbo
mircea_popescu: aha here we go!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-30#1634660 << "My motivation is primarily I don't want to learn all the over-complicated details of C, but at the same time I would like to be productive in a safe system language, a category in which Rust seems to be alone."
mircea_popescu: case fucking closed.
mircea_popescu: " My name is Joel Jacobson. I’ve been using PostgreSQL almost every day since 2002. Recently, I started getting involved in the community around this fantastic RDBMS."
mircea_popescu: they're mentally retarded, there's no two ways about it. people who are in their 20s/30s today and were parented by the idiots and imbeciles in their 40s and 50s and 60s are simply and irretrievably retarded.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, when the fuck did a COMPUTER LANGUAGE, ie, a language you can program the machine in, become a "systems language" ? why, to make room for javascript being a language ? it ain't a fucking language, it's a scripting language which means jack-all.
mircea_popescu: fucking decay of idiocy, they want to turn the nodes-notnodes binome into fullnodes-nodes ? if you don't verify blocks you're not a node, if you can't program the machine it's not a language etc. holy shit.
Framedragger: for posterity, rust does have things like raw pointers (and no gc), etc.; but the kommunity around it is at this point perhaps ~insufferable, much like the javascript hipster legions. which is not a point to be ignored
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying "rust is bad mmkay". i couldn't care less, there's been tons of "new languages" fulfilling the need of people to "revolutionize". they all work, exactly in the way custom pliers work.
mircea_popescu: i'm not buying custom pliers, and the pretense of the custom plier fans that their custom pliers ain't custom but standard is uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: this includes fucking pascal, let alone erlang, go, rust, java, you name it.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, usg decides that it only needs ~one~ GE... https://archive.is/VHvz8 << RIP westinghouse.

asciilifeform: also mircea_popescu the 'rust' link simply gotta be a parody
mircea_popescu: i do not believe so.
asciilifeform: it simply ain't believable
trinque: oh?
mircea_popescu: it seems entirely plain to me.
asciilifeform: read like a trololol, is all.
asciilifeform: 'if all git commits could be automatically converted to Rust' for instance.
trinque: just some guy who read a bunch of hackernews and thinks he has opinions
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is how they think.
trinque: asciilifeform: https://github.com/jameysharp/corrode << people actually do this
mircea_popescu: "automated" is a byword for "i don't have to do any work".
trinque: "people" anyway
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they imagine this. in point of fact the system that delivers milk in a bottle so they don't have to milk their own cow is MORE complex, not less.
mircea_popescu: there's MORE work to do with automation, not less.
shinohai thinks the term "corrode" is appropriate ....
asciilifeform: trinque: that looks hilarious. do you have a copy running? try putting, say, duff's device, through it...
mircea_popescu: and it'll crash and ewedontunderstand.
trinque: nah, I don't write the stuff. just was subjected to some fat idiot prattling on about rust one night
trinque: ben_vulpes knows him
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634349 << how tru this is. because if it's sociualloy acceptable to be fat, why wouldn't it be socially acceptable to be stupid!

asciilifeform: why would anybody even name a comp lang 'rust' ? how about a surgical antiseptic named 'putrescence' ?
trinque: they like it because it's like mother telling them they followed all the rules, and didn't even have to think about it.
trinque: you just compile and you're a good boy
trinque: that the guy was an SJW is not unrelated
asciilifeform: trinque: what means 'compile and you're a good boy' ..?
asciilifeform: is it a sort of prbization of ye olde 'cyclone' ? 'let's put bounds checks in c'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-30#1634673 << this is a terrible libel to custom pliers -- who do not randomly morph into liquishit in your hands, no

trinque: asciilifeform: as I understand it, which is at a distance, they added an extra type system, concurrency tools, and memory management for phree, and decided this needed its own syntax
trinque: the social commentary regards creatures who are addicted to pats on the head. whatever the supposed technical merits of the thing, they are not what guys like the one in that thread care about.
trinque: in re: "systems programming language" it's a way of retconning C into a category with many possible members defined by "I am very smart, and could, you know, build an operating system in this"
trinque: no such thing as a "rust machine" or "golang machine" but lets not dwell on the fact that there's a machine down there too long.
asciilifeform: trinque: my current understanding is that derps say 'system language' when what is meant is 'has something that passes for a x86 compiler, and a c ffi'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will also nitpick : 'erlang' does not belong in the list, it was a 1980s product that worked quite well in its industrial niche (large telco switches) but was later stolen and used as a totem by the folx from yesterday's thread ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633873 )
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 15:28 mircea_popescu: there's no utility involved. suburban ustard wears item because of ~how it makes her feel~ to ~be seen~ as ~being one of the~ rather than any use.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform industrial niche = scripting language.
asciilifeform: but it wasn't a scripting language.
mircea_popescu: lua also worked well in its industrial niche ; dob isn't that much of a consideration imo
mircea_popescu: and why not ?
asciilifeform: it was a general-purpose thing that compiled down to x86.
asciilifeform: (and several other archs.)
mircea_popescu: i can compile javascript to bytecode. what's that prove ?
trinque: queues and workers and restart upon failure didn't need a syntax
mircea_popescu: "its industrial niche" === scripting language.
trinque: somebody gave it one because wheeee
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not to bytecode, not to forth-style threadedcode. had actual optimizing compiler, like gcc.
asciilifeform: with actual backend.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'scripting language' has a meaning.
mircea_popescu: then perhaps i am mistaken and indeed it doesn't belong in that list.
mircea_popescu: can't say i spent all that much time investigating.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you almost certainly don't need it.
trinque: llvm can compile js to native code. now what?
asciilifeform: trinque: if you weld wings to a trabant, it could, theoretically, take off. does not make 'airplane'.
asciilifeform: airplane -- is designed.
mircea_popescu: in principle anything that can be run can be compiled, this isn't a matter. the question to you alf is, that "actual optimizing compiler, like gcc", is it WRITTEN IN ERLANG ?
mircea_popescu: ie, does this alleged non-scripting-language bootstrap ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 1st one, funnily, was in... prolog! 2nd -- erlang.
mircea_popescu: cuz that's what language means. has, or at least could have, self universe.
mircea_popescu: well ok then.
asciilifeform not an erlang user. but did read the 1990 b00k from ericsson.
asciilifeform: or where was it.
asciilifeform: sorta funny bit, actually, the original, THIN, book, is ~unobtainable;
asciilifeform: (it has useful examples from telecom systems)
asciilifeform: the only one you can buy today, is from the hipsters.
asciilifeform: with wwwcrapolade.
asciilifeform: anyway erlang is imho only worth discussing as part of a larger pattern -- industry after industry independently discovered that c -- and its entire approach to logic -- is poison
asciilifeform: but each discoverer reacted very differently.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: very good field of industrial anthropology here.
asciilifeform: (and naturally was convinced that ~his~ cure -- was unique)
mircea_popescu: ^ that's a decent doctoral thesis you just titled.
asciilifeform: it's a thing.
asciilifeform: or would be.
trinque: they leaned in the direction exactly opposite their worst pain
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the chukchas keep finding the same flashlight in the woods, again and again and again
trinque: erlang, uptime at all costs
asciilifeform: currently 'rust' et al. decade ago -- haskell. prior -- the java people.
asciilifeform: they keep finding the same flashlight ('don't use promiscuous pointers and type casts') and repaint it in various tribal colours.
asciilifeform: affixing all sorts of irrelevant 'shit bolted to the side'.
trinque: rust was written by a mozilla guy after long radiation damage working on a browser
asciilifeform: but if you scratch off the savage ochre paint etc. you can see '1958' stamped on the steel.
mircea_popescu: "Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit, Jody got married, shoulda known, we'd never get far."
mircea_popescu: idiots without a culture and without a history. "we found that lantern in the woods, and boy, those were the best days of chuka life!!1"
asciilifeform: well they ~were~ 'best days', it was a thing that they could not, in thousand years, produce
mircea_popescu: no argument.
asciilifeform: trinque: erlang wasn't simply about 'uptime', or even 'no pointer arithmetic', it also was the only case i know of where process migration actually worked
trinque: that is about uptime.
asciilifeform: as in, you could shuffle a ~task~ (not even entire proggy) between machines, cleanly.
trinque: yes, I'm aware
trinque: point was in each case the design is biased *away*
asciilifeform: trinque: elaborate
mod6: mornin'!
asciilifeform: hey mod6
mod6: how goes?
trinque: asciilifeform: biased away from the problem that hurt their business most
trinque: and not built outward from first principles about computing
asciilifeform: trinque: to put it in context, we're speaking of roughly 1990, and the smouldering thermonuke crater where the folx who 'built from first principles' (symbolics) used to be , was still smoking
trinque: fits my argument rather well
asciilifeform: it does
trinque having network troubles, slowing me down
trinque: whole industry was traumatized *by that*
asciilifeform: it was a time of 'commodification' and 'deskilling'
trinque: as each individual company licked particular wounds
asciilifeform: 'whatever else, infrastructure must use cheap, fungible iron, and cheap, fungible people'
asciilifeform: this was idiocy, of a slowly lethal sort that makes radium toothpaste look quite harmless, and we are still paying for it
asciilifeform: but there it was.
mircea_popescu: trinque i can see it yeah.
trinque: hell, ~america~ is this. "we had a shitty king so ~no matter what burns~ no 'king'"
mircea_popescu: misconstrued circumstantial constraints, "we're a business, we don't have the time to fix the world" "oh, those guys failed, we gotta '''learn''' from their experience" etc
mircea_popescu: trinque the king wasn't in any sense shitty, mind. you familiar with the tea story, yes ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or (as discussed by naggum), what is worse, 'we will learn from the Success! of microshit'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. quite.
trinque: mircea_popescu: I am, but from a particular perspective, I'm sure

scriba: Logged on 2017-03-30: [19:36:27] <trinque> there's a particular lukejr look.
mircea_popescu: anyone happen to recall the one of the wanna-be master with a great sense of humour looking for a slavegirl in michigan or wyoming or somesuch ?
mircea_popescu: also dork with round glasses
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lel. absolutely typical small-country-tick reaction. "we're the official poets of shitlandia, what do you mean we'd better actually be writing poems ?!!??!?!"
mircea_popescu: romania is no better ; i would expect the issue is universal.
mircea_popescu: makes shit easy for us, obviously.
Framedragger: you know, i've never seen this pattern so excellently executed. tip-top. straight from the 'how to survive as a tick' rulebook. (maybe because i can follow closely in native tongue and have keener sense of smell towards these fucks)
mircea_popescu: i used to piss on the faces of the "online marketing experts" in ro just about the same way. various foreign pr/medioa agencies opened local offices because hey, gotta pretend coverage ; hired locals because idiots ; locals decided "THIS MEANS WE ARE COMPETENT"
mircea_popescu: not that different from how phuctor worked irl and so on.
Framedragger: it's nice to be able to compress these structures so well in the mind, the patterns are so..predictable, it's insane
shinohai: To continue the "Ladies you need to follow upstairs" theme: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8HQ3ROV0AEvebx.jpg
mircea_popescu: looks like she's going out the window though
shinohai: It *could* lead to a sundeck .....
shinohai: But, if sealed window, bonus! She can't go anywhere!

ben_vulpes: the titles are interesting
mircea_popescu: gotta have something
ben_vulpes: what means "common pleas"?
mircea_popescu: historically it was a part of the common law system (ie, in england) dealing with arguments among unimportant people. here it's mostly because you know, he split the bitbet pot to randos.
shinohai: Cheers, mircea_popescu ... such a fitting name.
mircea_popescu: innit tho :D
shinohai shall add tits to his coat-of-arms if so inducted ....
mircea_popescu: small ones ?
mircea_popescu: "his arms bear a charge of tits"
shinohai: And nalgitas rampart
shinohai: *rampant, derp
mircea_popescu: pity there isn't a suckant
mircea_popescu: suquant i guess
BingoBoingo proposes a tit-knuckled gauntlet for the Lord nominee!
mircea_popescu: the brasstit knuckle!
BingoBoingo: *Lord Nomtittie!
shinohai: I actually used to have a brass doorknob shaped like a tit, gave it to one of my friends as a going-away present.
doppler: "see you later, ya tit"
phf: what knockers!
trinque: oh, sank you doctah
ben_vulpes: nalgitas twerkant
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, can anybody tell me why zero-satoshi tx outputs exist ?!
asciilifeform: ( they -- in fact -- do )
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "because we can, therefore we must"?
ben_vulpes: phf: implying!
shinohai presents tits for everyone's viewing pleasure: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8NHU2GUAAI9rd7.jpg
phf: ( leaving this here for myself, awk's pattern for filtering uniques is !foo[$col]++ )
asciilifeform: ^ going as we speak
phf: hax
asciilifeform: ^ is it obvious what is in the picture or do i have to explain.
phf: brilliant, we shall harness the power of LIGHT to make ourselves INVISIBLE to a common constable
asciilifeform: i suppose i do have to.
asciilifeform: pc atx +5v is not ideal voltage source. and has ripple from all sorts of places.
asciilifeform: FUCKGOATS includes a lowpass filter and three separate voltage regs, but the itch remains, does it make a diff if the thing were 1) powered by battery 2) isolated ENTIRELY from pc
asciilifeform: (2) requires a fiber
asciilifeform: so far it seems like the filter was designed CORRECTLY -- i.e. the setup makes 0 measurable difference, e.g., 'ent' takes ~same volume of bytes to converge pi as prior.
asciilifeform: (and yes thing is perfectly happy to run on 6v, as pictured)
asciilifeform: gets a ~little~ warmer...
asciilifeform: (linear regs, after all)
shinohai doesn't have one yet, but imagined he could run this from bench power supply ?
asciilifeform: shinohai: normally it runs from the usb-ttl snake's 5v
shinohai: nifty isolation though
asciilifeform: but yeah, pretty much anything 4-7v will work
asciilifeform: chinese piece of shit power brick, however, note, is likely to have MOAR ripple than your pc.
asciilifeform: battery is the gold standard.
asciilifeform: the fiber converter pictured here is the one from the last fiber thread
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 18:46 asciilifeform: https://shop.mikroe.com/click/interface/fiber-opt-33v << finally, what i had in mind.
asciilifeform: i expect it would also work quite well for 'data diode' and similar applications.
asciilifeform: ( when i loopback it, connecting its arse and mouth -- worx )
asciilifeform: fiber here is 5 metres, cheapest plastic (not glass)
asciilifeform: ( before anyone asks 'wtf' -- the fibertron wants 3.3v, so it gets it from the tap in the jtag port )

asciilifeform still quite frustrated that he has not yet solved the various 'icebergs' whose 'birthday theorem' tip we are seeing -- e.g. mikrotik, etc
asciilifeform: really we oughta be able to nail ~all~ of them.
mircea_popescu: what's the rush alfie.
asciilifeform: vita brevis
mircea_popescu: not like djb is going to come to his senses and have "his employees" "phd students" beat you to it.
mircea_popescu: there's conferences to attend and shit!!1
shinohai wonders if asciilifeform has nightmares of Hanno Bock cracking all his moduli .....
asciilifeform: shinohai: lol, all of them?!
asciilifeform: shinohai: incidentally he had a 'we have MOAR!' article, containing a small number of the ones we popped at the time, plus some that i still have nfi where the corresponding pubkeys lived
asciilifeform: ( not in sks.. )
shinohai: Possibly reside in imagination?
asciilifeform: the inescapeable conclusion
asciilifeform: generated for the occasion
shinohai: With purpose-built Debian box
CompanionCube wonders what the best key(s) to get phuctored would be. USG/NSA''s? Intel/AMD's signing keys?
mircea_popescu: small number still made up 65% of the list.
asciilifeform: !#s flipolade

BingoBoingo: CompanionCube: prolly robitussin
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well tomorrow I guess I'll have to spend my guess on Liberia.
shinohai: CompanionCube: Purple Drank
mircea_popescu: shinohai lmao. historically, the stupid poor always tried to "direct" others.
shinohai: If someone makes it to the end, lemme know what happened. It almost induced a seizure in me.
CompanionCube will take on the challenge
asciilifeform read it, snored
BingoBoingo: Lesson of the day: The hardest part of buying paint is browising through color chips to find one that doesn't have a faggy name.
shinohai feels bad he made a post that made asciilifeform sleep and possible dream of Hanno Bock
CompanionCube: lol. 'We will place Bitcoin under our control in the most devious way possible... We will optimize it, we will make it efficient, scalable, decentralized to the extreme.

trinque: someone was proud of this.
trinque: relatedly, two separate bums asked for money when I was fueling a very nice truck just now.
trinque: the first tried to touch me, so I told him to fuck off. the second kept his distance, so I helpfully let him know he should manage his money better.
trinque: gotta do what you can.
BingoBoingo: It's Texas. He who has the truck makes the rules.
trinque: so offer to pump my gas for me while I sit on my mobile throne. I might throw a couple bucks.
trinque: nah, one wants to shake hands like he's someone and the other rambles nonsense about helping da youf
BingoBoingo: Tell them if they jump in the back, you'll give em $30 to help you shovel a load of manure in, and they can pick their destination once the truck's loaded.
mircea_popescu: yeah, what happened to full service gas stations ?
mircea_popescu: "minimum wage happened, mp"
mircea_popescu: oooh, that's right!
trinque: at least he has the dignity that the job he doesn't have pays a living waeg!!!11
trinque: seriously, I once considered starting some kind of labor camp where you bus these guys in and just have 'em toil on whatever
trinque: feed, house, etc
trinque: before taking another 30sec and considering the labor laws involved
trinque: limbs rotting off under an overpass is way better
BingoBoingo: Seriously trinque creative guy like you could prolly find a use for a couple cubic yards of manure. There has to be a courthouse nearby.
