phf: asciilifeform: serve event is a cmucl way of tracking streams of every kind (since no threading, repl mainloop is a reactor pattern). sbcl has just lifted the whole thing, but then never really redid the architecture
phf: so that's why you sometimes get an infinite error loop with fd-register somesuch when you abruptly lose connection
asciilifeform: this wasn't an abrupt- anything
phf: right right
asciilifeform: it was a whole majorversion of sbcl that simply won't usocket..
phf: can i fucking finish?
asciilifeform ended up digging up another and replacing
asciilifeform: aha?
phf: so instead of addressing the core machinery, they put these hooks all over the place, where some things are part of serve event, and some are not. anyway, you ran into the fact that 1.0.42 introduced a flag to socket-make-stream :serve-events, which is true by default. it was later changed to false
phf: but usocket probably defensively passes serve-events nil to make sure that "legacy" machinery doesn't kick in, because nobody knows about it, or wants to deal with it
phf: relevant patch https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/commit/6e02a5455aeef5a4642a2334348544c1f19775ad#diff-912df0bf4505a2db68a4b714e475e225R385
asciilifeform: ugh
phf: yo, modern sbcl!
asciilifeform can't wait to tip that particular cement mixer..
phf: if you want all of your compatability layers to work, you are forced to run trunk of everything.
phf: (which is by the way not what i do, i just fucking fix. every. single. fucking. piece. of. quicklisp. packaged. code. i. get. my. hands. on. motherfuckers)
asciilifeform: gotta post these fixes
asciilifeform: or at least the process whereby produced.
phf: it's not added up to coherent whole yet. so far the conclusion is that compatability layers are evil, and that you basically have to maintain own versions of everything that abstracts your lisp implementation details
asciilifeform: of everything -- period
asciilifeform: otherwise you have 'submarine with screen door'.
phf: it would be perhaps worthwhile to triangulate sbcl towards a common deployment platform
phf: and it is submarine with screen doors. it's possible that asdf in vpatches is the door through which the horror comes.
phf: (not to mention what i bring up all the time, that asdf itself is the horror now)
asciilifeform: i expect there'll be plenty of rubbish in the genesis. as there was in trb.
asciilifeform: point is that it becomes removable!
asciilifeform: and naturally no pulling-in of anything , in asdf or other packagetron, that hasn't been vgenesised.
asciilifeform: ( or whole effort is that very same submarine )
phf: one solution could be to, e.g. post cl-irc, but hard coded to a specific sbcl implementation. whoever wants to port it elsewhere (like cmucl or whatever) can just post a #-sbcl #+cmucl vpatch, etc.
phf: (fwiw ircbot is already sbcl specific, since it relies on a bunch of sbcl threading extensions, so pulling compat layer for cl-irc is a waste)
asciilifeform: nao this is so. it prolly oughta use naked sbclism for sockets.
asciilifeform: or even ffiism
ben_vulpes: phf: neat summary, ty
ben_vulpes: i started vendoring swaths of lisp code recently myself
ben_vulpes: while useful in some contexts, once phf said 'asdf is a pig with lipstick', could not unsee.
phf: ben_vulpes: note that older versions of asdf actually work. i've been running 1.369 in my cmucl, and it does require manually updating half of your asdf to remove various later extensions, but it works
phf: 1.369 is 1548 cloc vs. 3.3.1 10789!
asciilifeform: holyfuq
phf: there's actually some extensions that are not necessarily evil (like :email or :author in a defsystem), bulk of fail comes from test-op, that's not supported in old version, but that nobody uses test-op consistently at all
phf: also particularly gendered packages outright put #-asdf3 (error "requires asdf3") and ~usually~ it's because they silently rely on uiop, far's unix compatability layer
phf: fare claims somewhere that he solved a gnarly dependency resolution bug in asdf, but the nature of bug is never revealed, and SAT is never mentioned (i suspect most bugs in asdf would be SAT related)
asciilifeform: sat ??
asciilifeform: as in n-sat ?!
phf: sat as in satisfiability problem
asciilifeform: why is that in there??
asciilifeform: v dun have a sat-solver!!
phf: well, dependency resolution is a SAT problem at its core
phf: and there's probably no formal sat in asdf. i'm saying that bulk of dependency resolution problems would come from sat though
asciilifeform: again observe, v runs without a general satsolver.
asciilifeform: why it -- can, but asdf liquishit - cannot ??
asciilifeform: lemme guess, there are blocking packages ? that can't be used together on 1 system ?!
asciilifeform: i.e. a 'not gate'
phf: v runs with a special case of sat solver. i don't understand which part of "asdf doesn't have a sat solver" and "sat is never mentioned" is not clear. i'm saying that whatever dependency resolution is always a special case of sat. you put some contraints on it (no cirlces, etc.) and then you can have special case solutions.
asciilifeform: lol in this sense an adder is 'specialcase of satsolver'
asciilifeform: errythingis
phf: v also doesn't solve all the problems that asdf attempts to solve (for example compilation dependency)
asciilifeform: i'll bite : how not ?
asciilifeform: if your universe is vtronic, you dun have 'dependencyproblems'. definitionally.
phf: v relies on build systems to actually build
phf: so your entire makefile logic is outside of scope of v
phf: for example one thing that i tried with my lisp workflow is to have the system automatically compile/load touched files in their order of appearance in a v patch. but the order here is explicitly linear, requires fiddling with patch order, and is definitely not how we use it now
phf: also v doesn't recognize state. in a tree A->B pressing to A, then loading, then pressing to B, then loading is different than pressing to B right away and loading the result
phf: obviously not designed for that, but the assumption here then is that you're running a fresh instance for each fresh press, which is suboptimal for a lisp (this particular detail will likewise come up when v is run on an always-on system of any kind, be that a cuntoo or a lispm)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760893 << this is a thing to be eventually fixed.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 19:16 phf: so your entire makefile logic is outside of scope of v
asciilifeform: ( incidentally gprbuild, which is used in ffa, is quite interesting. )
asciilifeform: and to the extent lisps dun play nicely with freshly-pressed instances -- it is the lisps which are broken
asciilifeform: the irreplicable-churning-pot-of-liquishit mentality that always-on items tend to suffer from -- is a disease, will have to be cured.
asciilifeform: *extant
phf: lisps deal with freshly-pressed instances as well as anything else: by doing a clean restart. my point is not lisps, my point is that current solution assumes lack of state and delegates the problem to a non-v-tronic build system

mircea_popescu: but from a sustainability pow : eulora server currently restarts weekly ; not necessarily because it absolutely must, but because i deliberately did not want to provide a "continuous" item in this sense.
asciilifeform: the 'holy grail' is items which are demonstrably safe to operate continuously -- i.e. fsa with no wedge states. these are not so easy to achieve; FUCKGOATS is one example
mircea_popescu: i can understand the fascination with "this orrery has been in clickety-clacking continuously since 1625", but let's point out that it relies on a) THIS orrery, as opposed to "constantly changing randomly pile of cogs" and b) it's a discrete mechanism, like the human heart. it takes a break every beat. essentially the problem has been hidden, by these, not resolved.
asciilifeform: ( and 1 of the few readily accessible pieces of digital gear that fit this description , afaik )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fuckgoats still is THIS orrery, rather than "hotswappable"
asciilifeform: actually you can hotswap the analogue boards
asciilifeform: this is in fact part of uncrating test, recall.
mircea_popescu: but not the controller.

mircea_popescu: while getting entropy out ?

asciilifeform: but also no faux-entropy
mircea_popescu: THIS orrery. not "some collection of parts".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly.
asciilifeform: 4 parts ( serialdongle, controller, the 2 analogueboards )
asciilifeform: can replace in any order and any subset
mircea_popescu: the point is that item either a) operates continuously, provided it is THIS item, ie, this specific collection of parts or else b) is stopped while beingt serviced, ie having a cog replaced. there's no clock that works while having its cogs switched around.
asciilifeform: in point of fact it dun stop when you pull 1 of 2 analogueboards
mircea_popescu: nor is there such a thing as triple bypass while running a marathon
mircea_popescu: nor is it reasonable thereby to expect "this lisp instance runs while a new press gets pulled in"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phf's observation was re how lisp systems often accumulate GBs of state that takes weeks to re-create programatically
asciilifeform: which is troo . and 'not bug, but feature' and in fact plays poorly with vtronics
asciilifeform: but i still blame the lisps, not v.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was re his difficulties in updating the machinery behind btcbase without downtime
