mod6: sure, you're doing good work. looking forward to your submissions when ready.
trinque: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/aiEVS/?raw=true << sneak peek of walletsnip. (warning, likely intermingled with other patches, not for any use, etc)
phf: mircea_popescu: he had one megapatch that i remember being somewhat controversial, it's the one where he reworked the logging facility, but the other two look reasonably small (rm unused functions and add sendrawtransaction rpc). i remember there being some issues with asciilifeform_malleus_mikehearnificarum and asciilifeform-programmable-versionstring that required at least two regrinds, which was around the time he was working on his.
mircea_popescu: but in the general i suppose polarbeard's adventure is kinda illustrative of YET ANOTHER failure mode of personal heroics. besides the "lalala i can't hear" style there's apparently also the "oh, who has time for small steps, i'ma make huge contributions as a virtual unknown".
mod6: <+trinque> mod6: I've got a sendrawtxn patch sitting over here << actually, i should mention that i /did/ create a trb sendrawtransaction (just this one rpc call) vpatch late last year, but never sent -- really wanted the rest of the gang 'create', 'sign', etc.
mircea_popescu: phf, a yeah, there was some of that too, it's coming back to me now.
trinque: mod6: yeah makes sense. not much use by itself without.
mod6: yup.
phf: yeah, it was a combination of factors. his logging facility patch received a lot of criticism, though i now regret voicing mine. it's a bit of a bike shed problem, everyone has their own idea of how to do it "right", but it's not done to this day.
mod6: phf: this is a solid point. I think everyone wants their own way of logging/logging statements.
mircea_popescu: goes right back to the problem of the unknown. i CAN shoot down bikeshedding if i know the person. i can't if they're unknown, because then it's legitimate part of dogs sniffing butts getting to know each other.
mod6: One vpatch that is looking pretty nice is ben_vulpes's logging sub-string chop chop.
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah.
trinque: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/NweRz/?raw=true << polarbeard_better_log_messages.vpatch reposted from shithub, for posteriority

trinque: I forgot you had the wandering patches too.
mod6: thx for posting the links gentlemen.
phf: aha, it's either in experimental or in deprecated
trinque: long day, little sleep. spent the morning directing movers.

trinque: to digress, one of the guys called the porch a "pollo" and I swear he was fucking with me.
trinque: after that, he says his computer didn't work (hey, you're a computer guy, right?) and showed me a picture of a dell laptop docking station, so who knows. maybe he goes out and drinks beer on his chicken
douchebag: !drink-beer-on-chicken
