BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> sina: keep coming back, it works if you work it << lol, this stuff is contagious
BingoBoingo: !~step12
jhvh1: 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: pretty sure my sojurn through 12steplandia predates yours
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: it may.
sina: funsies was in figuring out how to make a request pipeline out of handlers, or goroutines, etc
BingoBoingo: But TMSR is it's own program for awakening the spirit
sina: funsies was being able to bang out a golang mpfhf because I had already kicked the tyres on the lang
sina: (and it really was fun)
ben_vulpes: ooh BingoBoingo the tomatoes have put forth flowers
ben_vulpes: buds i mean
ben_vulpes: these things are going to be monster bushes
BingoBoingo: Vines, absolutely monster vines covering everything in a 10 foot radius prolly
ben_vulpes: i may have to put stakes in the ground and hold the damn things up
ben_vulpes: standby 3
BingoBoingo: You prolly should start on that before the flowers turn to fruit and get heavy
ben_vulpes: aye boss
BingoBoingo: I mean nature has a way and all that, but... stakes make for cleaner fruit and a bett chance of you taking the first bit instead of vermin
ben_vulpes: i don't plan to suboptimally anything these beasts
BingoBoingo has one plot that stayed sunny and one that has been eclipsed by tree. Sunny plot doing great. One in tree eclipse is experiencing stunted vine size, but greater fruiting at present.
BingoBoingo: Hard to tell how the good lord Bingo's plots will turn out this experiment
sina: ok
sina: python version updated too
sina: mircea_popescu: you may want to update comments,
sina: i enjoy growing tomatoes too, but these days cherry tomatos mostly. hardy, prolific
sina: far fewer issues with insects
sina: mircea_popescu: M = list(map(int, ''.join(map(lambda p: '{0:08b}'.format(p, 'b'), map(ord, message))))) << for python
sina: and binString = fmt.Sprintf("%s%.8b", binString, c) << for golang
sina: ben_vulpes: appreciate confirmation
mircea_popescu: holy shit im not diffing tcoments by hand what is htis\
sina: either that or I can re-comment, you can delete the old ones and then fix whatever <pre> stuff you did last time
a111: Logged on 2016-03-23 23:35 mircea_popescu: 2 requires the man who just saw the product of his not-inconsequential efforts die over "not doing what mp says, with money" have to choose whether to do what mp says... but with people, this time. we did in fact start this channel together, just like bitbet, and he did do a lot of infrastructure work here, just as there. so... what do ?
sina: which somehow includes a religious discussion on the morality of returning mistakenly transferred bitcoins, including King Solomon bible ref
ben_vulpes: sina: i hope you appreciate the bug-spottment as well lol
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: see blorg
sina: ben_vulpes: ah doo
ben_vulpes: sina: sensible thing to do is make a genesis of your shit, stand up an mp-wp and post it on your blog
ben_vulpes: or use your golang thing and migrate a few years later like i did
sina: clarify "a genesis of your shit"
ben_vulpes: have you caught up to "v"
sina: yes
ben_vulpes: in other miserable urls
ben_vulpes: "genesis" is argot for root of a patch tree

mircea_popescu has been thinking... this whole code in comments thing dun werk wortha crap
sina: mircea_popescu: correct
mircea_popescu: myeah. what's one to do ;/
sina: I'm fine with git. I have a cgit thing in my castle and also push to github for public use
sina: I know y'all hate it
mircea_popescu: your idea of fun turns out problematioc for the republic!
sina: you could deed it
mircea_popescu: i can see it though. heck, i actually indulge. whole candi thing was nothing else.
mircea_popescu: the problem is management really. code keeps wanting to be edited, comments on blog are a different thing.
sina: correct
mircea_popescu: deeds similarly -- these words for all time./
sina: blog in general is not conducive to code, IMO anyway
mircea_popescu: possibly.
ben_vulpes: phf has hosted vpatches so far without much fuss
mircea_popescu: CERTAINLY not conducive to the google notion of code.
ben_vulpes: not to nominate someone else for work
mircea_popescu: which may be the problem.
mircea_popescu: which is also why i say your notion of fun is problematic.
sina: instead of a nice chain of diffs
mircea_popescu: but consider for a moment -- why should code be something else than "words for all time" ?
ben_vulpes: sina: nonsense, this is what you get: http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=bot&search=
mircea_popescu: silly argument being anything but "because it'll take forever mp!"
sina: ben_vulpes: that's a bit nicer
sina: ben_vulpes: what does the update button do?
mircea_popescu: sina he does have a point -- this is a very fine op for you to learn v through practice. make a genesis for your thang.
ben_vulpes: sina: dunno, try pushing it
ben_vulpes: perhaps -- nothing!
ben_vulpes: possibly, something!
sina: I did
ben_vulpes: doubtful anything github-like
sina: mircea_popescu: I did look at V as you suggested, including reading through (I think it was) asciilifeform py impl
ben_vulpes: if you put text in the box and press the button the url params change
mircea_popescu: how'd it seem ?
ben_vulpes: i'm going to stop pulling levers for you here soon sina
sina: ben_vulpes: ??
sina: the text box is clearly for search
sina: text in the box click update, not different from just clicking update with no text
sina: mircea_popescu: it seemed interesting, the "thing to do" appeared to be write ones own impl, which could be funsies
mircea_popescu: also yes.
mircea_popescu: allows you a trb editing environment at any rate
sina: trb?
mircea_popescu: the real bitcoin
sina: I feel like I can have some fun writing it in a language that might troll ben_vulpes
sina: Visual Basic .NET or something
sina: hah yeah
ben_vulpes: "it's homoiconic! everything's a string!"
mircea_popescu: homo-something, at any rate
sina: maybe I will write it in XSLT
trinque: haw
ben_vulpes: sina: consider if you want anyone in the wot to /read/ your work
sina: consider I kid
mircea_popescu: consider there's girls watching teh dick clubbing
ben_vulpes: am curious to see what he'll pick!
sina: hey mircea_popescu in the long list of things I have been meaning to ask, wasn't MPex listed on MPex?
sina: and now it seems not?
trinque: also in logs.
mircea_popescu: yah. there's a closing statement and evertything on trilema, also in lgos etc.

sina: LOL
sina: shinohai: thegrugq makes a joke, that infosec people have no good advice but just always say "use signal, use tor" for all problems

shinohai: Was checking out your github and saw link to twitter. I got a kick out of that tweet is all.

sina: I don't really use it anymore

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1669005 << just a poor interface to switch branches for people without javascript. (the drop down thingy switches on select, but if you don't have js enabled. i perhaps should add a button hider if you do..)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 04:45 sina: text in the box click update, not different from just clicking update with no text
phf: the interface is not very thought through because there's not enough dog fooding happening. vpatches require higher overhead than git blobs by design following the principle of measure ten times, cut once. but that means that it takes longer to evolve a workflow around them since the trickle of new updates is much slower
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1669038 << i had some interop going between v and https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MqExtension. apparently before cvs but after "copy entire folder to make a version" there were various approaches to maintaining patch sets, that can be applied to v's folder full of patches approach
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 05:20 sina: lolll http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1439668
phf: highest overhead when working with v is making snapshotting cheaper (which also ties into keeping multiple incomplete work in progress vpatches in the same build, and being able to put the updates into respective vpatches). that's something that local versioning system might help with (though asciilifeform for example considers that sort of automation anathema)
a111: Logged on 2014-10-23 04:48 asciilifeform: use git for private dildonic pleasure. or for playing with friends. i do.

asciilifeform: phf: the thing i repeatedly caution folx against, is to do anything that might result in the existence of vpatches which require tools ~other than v~ to fit-in-head/operate on.

phf: asciilifeform: so right now, if you click in the little up arrow, it'll take you to the location in btcbase. i think i might've disabled link substitution at some point on account of it being a subtle log manipulation
asciilifeform: my thinking is -- at some point the old kakotronic logs will either go away or be subsumed by enemy for whatever purpose ( if only ip gluetrap ) -- and it is the Wrong Thing to countenance the use of'em.
phf: asciilifeform: added both, search and ref. let me know if you have other examples..
phf: fwiw, i'm not parsing search, so it'll only map in the simplest cases (though your specific example works)

trinque: asciilifeform: he thought this was for one man's fapping in the mirror, and now, has it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 why not scriba :D
mircea_popescu: he can just make the logger speak like anyone else neh ?
phf: scriba is not ben_vulpes's bot, so presumably the question is why don't ben_vulpes put up his own log speaker
mod6: sure. i suppose so. i presently feel bad when pasting in links from logs.bv since it doesn't get auto-parsed.
mod6: ah. ok. well that could work too. anyways, was just a suggestion.
phf: fwiw i need to add ben_vulpes's links to btcbase anyway, because it also breaks xref facility
shinohai: Afternoon mod6, fellow Republicans!
asciilifeform: bots attempting to process output from other bots makes for potentially hilarious (try GB log bloat...) bugs
asciilifeform: so imho it's a thing to avoid on general principle. let each one speak for self.
trinque: heh, wasn't there a time when deedbot chattered for pages all by itself? I vaguely recall
phf: that's not how btcbase works.
mircea_popescu: yes, the rule is that each logger reads his own.
asciilifeform: trinque: that was assbot
mircea_popescu: it's not ok for a111 to speak out unbidden, with the sole exception of its own log
phf: a111 can easily speak on behalf of any of the logger, because i need to parse other loggers to keep the xref facility consistent. for political reasons, a111 only speaks for own logs, but it ~knows~ at the time of utterance where the link is supposed to go to
mircea_popescu: pretty cool.
mircea_popescu thinks this is exactly as it should be.

mircea_popescu: from a purely alien perspective, in a town with decaying infrastructure you'll still see a bunch of men gathered around the guy souping up his car, rather than gathered around the places which desperately need maintenance work.
mircea_popescu: this base tendency is what the whole google/apple/etc (redhat, you name it, "open source") shitworlds try to cater to.
mircea_popescu: it's ok to point out how stupid it is, sure. it's dubious to not have some kind of an answer. which dun seem like we have.
mircea_popescu dislikes the notion of guilt tripping people as a resource allocation mechanism.
asciilifeform: their attempts are a laugh, though -- their picture of 'sexy project' is about as appealing as syphilis
mircea_popescu: sure. but what's this do.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that there is a problem described here, such that could admit an answer.
mircea_popescu: to me either. but it's clear that there might be something.
asciilifeform: ability to properly direct resources (of self , and sometimes others ) is afaik what even makes, meaningfully, 'lord'
mircea_popescu: and ability to drive is what makes, properly, a driver. it STILL HELPS to tell people "objects in rearview mirror are closer than they appear".
mircea_popescu: because it's not all that intuitive.
asciilifeform: naggum had an interesting discussion re cl ( and iirc also mentioned ada, his other-language ) in re discouragement of 'easy to write small throwaway programs' as a factor in building durable infrastructure ( vs liquishit, which in his time consisted of microshit and of perlism )
asciilifeform: so to a certain extent tools can shape habit. and the bridges are maintained, instead of folx clustering around the souped car.
asciilifeform: but the responsibility to be a man rather than monkey -- cannot be delegated to tool.
mircea_popescu: no argument with either of these.
mircea_popescu: but presenting cogently and in a tight package the man-monkey difference can't possibly hurt the recent escapee off the "i can't believe it's not plato's" cave.
asciilifeform: i've found that teaching ada to c programmer is almost a miniature course in subj
mircea_popescu: moreover, replacing a coke habit with a workout habit is, in practice and experience, the cheapest, safest and surest way to rehab crackwhores.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i saw trims of that in the logs lol.

mod6: haha
trinque: is this a matter of backing out of using a big open source item?
trinque: I know that pain, difficult process
mircea_popescu: basically ended up being rewriting everything.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, looks like it'll take one mentally competent woman about one year. the "open source" crapolade was built OVER A DECADE. and it's ~useless, within three zeros.
asciilifeform: an ada '3d engine' would be quite a thing, incidentally
mircea_popescu: 10x the time, easily 100x the "effort" (although it is no more meaningful to compare the work of republican with the braying of subhuman opensources than it is to compare cpus and breast implants) and so forth.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is server side.
asciilifeform: even moar so, then
asciilifeform: ( the language-level support for sane concurrency it more or less perfect for subj )
asciilifeform: it's what originally pulled me into looking at it.
phf: presumably to make it sane will have to write own blitter to surface, etc.
phf: concurrency will only get into picture once you have independent rendered, networking and game state logic all working
asciilifeform: btw the graphics , as seen by asciilifeform's naked eye, suggest that a cpu-only renderer ( 0 magic iron ) could, in theory, run eulora
asciilifeform: ( msdos port!111 )
mircea_popescu: absolutely never licensing any of this. people wish to contribute, they get to participate, not to "just like bitcoin with a little bit of censorship" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: imagine, eulora played for paypal ? fuck that shit with a hot iron poker, there's NO WAY shitworld claws back to relevancy.
phf: asciilifeform: sure, considering that graphics are intentionally seem to be kept might&magic like can easily render the whole thing in software
asciilifeform: phf: i know very little re eulora design process, but did assume that mircea_popescu et al deliberately put in a polygon count limit, and that the logic was approx like this.
asciilifeform: ( to one day be rid of closed turd gpu )
mircea_popescu: phf something like that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's part of what the publisher will accept as art assets, see ?
mircea_popescu: and no, never relinquishing political control, ever, no fucking way. colonial empire all the way, force the locals to either absorb themselves into whiteness or spawn chattel indefinitely.
phf: i think crystal space already supports limited software rendering, but figuring out how to properly enable it seems to be not for the faint of heart
mircea_popescu: 0 tolerance for multiculti bs.
mircea_popescu: phf the topic of making clients for teh eulora is very much open, my model is that there's a bunch of 3rd party clients, from text to whatever gpu-enabled thing.
mircea_popescu: heck, danielpbarron is moving towards an actuall dvd distro of the whole thing.
asciilifeform: phf: i'd doubt that the existing open sores turd would do the job ( esp how 'render without gpu' is a more or less entirely untested component, 'everyone has gpu!111' etc )
mircea_popescu: but, which is how this spitoon unravelled, in order to properly expose this for people to work on gotta have sane protocol, for which you need sane data model or else do conversion, and well...
phf: i kind of want to take a stab at doing a common lisp text only client, but i think i lost my password again, and i'm too embarrassed to ask for another recovery........
mircea_popescu: it dun cost me nuttin
mircea_popescu: just as long as you dun lose you know, your actual key.
mircea_popescu: (believe it or not, ~95% of pw recovery attempts fail because the player lost his password in the sense of, ALL SOFTWARE ON THE MACHINE, data included.)
phf: a fairly inexpensive way to learn some of the tmsr lessons
mircea_popescu: of course, same 95% of players disappears back into the agar.
mircea_popescu: ie, they hadn't learned the lessons before, either, and not by accident.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'll note that the losers took the republican position, imaginary higher ground, bullshit like that
mircea_popescu: in all such disputes, whoever fires most wins.
asciilifeform: i still dun get m. begin's pov. ordered his men to surrender and join idf! and had the auctoritas that... they did
mircea_popescu: because idiot.
asciilifeform: and so the british pest was permitted to continue to live, and infest the continent
asciilifeform: to this day.
mircea_popescu: people who believe violence is not the answer don't belong alive.
mircea_popescu: and it's a sickeningly common view among underground fighters because they makle the mistake to "salvage their sanity" by "pretending this is something that's not them"
asciilifeform: and this was the d00d who ran irgun ! supposedly, tough motherfucker who killed brits with bare hands etc.
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY like loser barrista.
mircea_popescu: yes, but.
mircea_popescu: fucking credo goes "this is my rifle" etc specifically BECAUSE loser = dude who thinks "whatcha hassling me for man, it's just a gig, it;'s not my life"
mircea_popescu: it is your fucking life motherfucker. now shoot, and shoot fast and bust heads on every round.
asciilifeform: there is a pov that irgun was british-infested even earlier, though, and 'lehi' was the tru-fork. but i do not have a deep enough picture of the period events to say if.
mircea_popescu: in general british infestation worked like staph aureus. "it's everywhere and it only does anything if you're already aids"
mircea_popescu: at least that's my picture of the 1900s
asciilifeform: my current understanding is that this is only half-correct -- brits also helped folx pick up the aids.
asciilifeform: ( most famously -- opium in cn. but similar elsewhere. )
mircea_popescu: meh. consider -- china, 100% infested pre mao. did nothing. russia, tsar time, during "the great race", idem. did nothing.
mircea_popescu: did ~nothing to the boers, either.
mircea_popescu: only places it did anything were like sudan, israel, niggerlands.
asciilifeform: this thread a little too thin for asciilifeform's naked eye.
mircea_popescu: just mah impression.
asciilifeform: 'When a terrorist group such as the Irgun Zvai Leumi sees their key objective completed, what do they do? In the case of their use of terrorism, the Irgun came to an end not because the funds died out or support waned, but because the leadership recognized the need to move to a more democratic and non-violent strategy. In order to continue pushing for additional change, no longer would the Irgun act under overt auspices of violence.
asciilifeform: Their primary purpose fulfilled, they had no agenda supportable with violence anymore due to the creation of the state of Israel’s presence. Instead of disbanding after their success, the Irgun continued to remain active, shifting into a productive political role. ' -- random usg derp
asciilifeform: pretty typical 'parliamentarian' rot ^ example
asciilifeform: 'violence is hard, let's go shopping'
asciilifeform: iirc the irish folx went into this same /dev/null of history, quite recently
mircea_popescu: yeah, i dunno that i'd take the wailing and whining of ronin women discussing the men into account
mircea_popescu: the whole gambit of the mother is, "don't cry baby, see, X is gone now"
mircea_popescu: it dun matter whether x is gone or not. what matters is the saying. maybe the baby is dumb enough and falls in the words trap ?
mircea_popescu: and if not... she'll say it again and again andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andagain andv.
asciilifeform: it boggles my mind that none of these folx ( at least afaik ) ever grasped that 'nonviolence', 'rule of law', 'parliamentarianism' were tentacles of the enemy, rather than a victory
mircea_popescu: kinda why mothering sucks in the first place.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect most of them really wanted to go shopping.
mircea_popescu: it was utterly the case of eg ro revolution. none of the people there wanted "freedom". they were literally pissed off they can't drive over to austrian border and load up the car at the w/e discount shop.
mircea_popescu: 100% the problem.
asciilifeform: the infamous 'sausage emigres' of su, ditto
asciilifeform: ( 'left motherland for 100 sorts of sausage' )
mircea_popescu: so you know, they don't realise because they weren't there present in the first plac.e
mircea_popescu: funny thing is, hruschev had the right idea with his "We'll sausage and oversausage!".
asciilifeform: sorta why ben gurion had the boat shelled and the survivors - machine-gunned. had 0 to do with the cargo, but with the 900+ irgun recruits on board, who didn't yet 'want to go shopping'
mircea_popescu: it's just kinda funny that a) the one eyed man in russian empire was deemed dumb by the blind ; and b) the unassuming and unexpected little chinese man ACTUALLY DID IT. never said it. did do it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform likely, yes.
mircea_popescu: which is how we know jews are congenitally stupid. if you can round up 1k of those people ande NOT ONE head lights up with the realisation that "either we walk out of here THROUGH the enemy or not at all", it's braindamage.
mircea_popescu: same dead stock that populated the lime pits.
asciilifeform: apparently not all were oven fodder
mircea_popescu: but none had a working brain.
asciilifeform: some -- formed irgun, lehi, etc
asciilifeform: and went to multiply some brits by 0
mircea_popescu: i would say the last jew with an actuallyt functioning noggin died pre 1900.
