mircea_popescu: wtf i thought i v'd it
mircea_popescu: lobbes "<deedbot> mircea_popescu paid lobbes invoice 1"
mircea_popescu: a damn, i bet this wasn't first invoice. aite ima look into this tomorro.
diana_coman: lobbes, I don't follow; I paid the Q1 invoice http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-18#1802318 so what bundled?

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831316 <-- I'd contemplated adding a small gc, but I gotta do some reading on the subj before making a decision. so it's still open to discussion, and I'll study the log threads while I'm at it.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 16:52 mircea_popescu: spyked re http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/074-adalisp-prototype.html what if anything do you plan to do re memory management ? gc in particular, but not just.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831324 <-- oh I see! I'ma keep this in mind.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 17:24 mircea_popescu: i'm looking for roads into the os. could be from phf's emacs, could be from spyked 's lisp, could be from your arms, could be from whatever the fuck ends up working.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831425 <-- to add to the list of weird behaviours: ada "get char" function doesn't eat newlines, so when typing a number alone, say: echo "42" | ./test_repl , nothing'll happen. user must add an explicit space after the number.

spyked: and in other http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812182 , I am happy to report that the may-june shithub harvest is over. sadly, I was about a month off in my estimations ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814257 ), a lesson for me to not trust initial figures: in the first days, my harvester was doing 3-4 keys/s, while a couple of weeks later teh githubs started rate-limiting, or worse, cutting off connections arbitrarily.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 14:53 spyked: can confirm it worx: e.g. https://api.github.com/users?since=46 returns users starting from id 47.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 10:15 spyked: ftr, I've gathered about 700k keys in the last 3-4 days; if the total number hasn't changed too much from the previous 6.9M, I estimate I should have all of them in 20-30 days from now.
spyked: anyways, I am working on putting the ssh keys in the proper format and preparing the full report, there's some extra lulz to be extracted from this experience.
lobbes: diana_coman: ah yup. right you are. Error on my record-keeping end. I'll cancel that one and issue a new one later tonight
diana_coman: lobbes, cool, thanks
lobbes was staring directly at his !!sent-invoices too. must've been lack-of-sleep brain
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.li/mt8rj << google, just as i expected, working on using cr50 to abolish the 'at least can boot own linux' 'hole' entirely
asciilifeform: ( there's '9000+' possible ways to do this, and without changing pcb layout at all; already the thing can inspect fw, ram, etc. and reset the box if it doesn't like what it finds )
asciilifeform: in the fritz business, they call it 'attestation'
mircea_popescu: spyked evidently, if adalisp isn't tabletop systems engineering, then what is it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, at least it does no evil, amirite.
asciilifeform: lolly
mircea_popescu: trinque lobbes in other weird : <deedbot> Invoiced mircea_popescu 0.00010742 ; which i paid, and which shows in ledger as me having paid him 00100800.
mircea_popescu: at first i looked for a weird bug that turns 010742 into 100800 ; buyt then it turned out he had already sent me an invoice, for that amt, back in oct 2017, which i re-paid
mircea_popescu: so trinque could it be possible to not be possible to pay the same invoice twice cuz that's the point of invoices in the first place, they should die once paid
mircea_popescu: and lobbes don't invoice for 9 digit figures because bitcoin has 8 digits!
mircea_popescu: and also, you wanna pay me the extra back in ecu in eurloa or keep it on books as prepayment for future auctions ?
trinque: yeah that's certainly a bug, will fix.
trinque: fixed!
mircea_popescu: ty!
asciilifeform: that was fast
mircea_popescu: AAA+++ service would bug again
mircea_popescu: trinque aaand if that can be relied upon, can i also rely on the semantics of !!pay-invoice lobbes 1 to pay the !~first curtrently outstanding~ invoice
mircea_popescu: thereby freeing me from a) the need to dns-check and b) the need to communicate my kyc history every time i pay ?
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in barnum's 'suckers born erry minute', https://archive.li/3CVPx >> '...posing as admins, mods, or other key figures in the cryptocurrency world, posting messages that urged users to type a long command inside their Mac terminal, claiming to help with various problems..' etc
asciilifeform: 'key figures' didjaknow.
mircea_popescu: there's been a definite uptick in schmucks trying to pretend they're me on fetlife. and i suppose similarly on obscure webshits i don't know about.
trinque: mircea_popescu: the invoice number thing is baked a little more deeply than what I just changed. what do you think of "!!pay-invoice lobbes" with no integer to mean "first received and outstanding" ?
mircea_popescu: im all for it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kinda hard to picture what the pretense wins for'em
trinque: cool, will do
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ill publish later a sad story, should make it obvious to you.
asciilifeform: 'hi, i'm mircea_popescu , send me 1btc and i will bless you with magical mircea_popescuinity powerz' ?
mircea_popescu: trinque this also gives teeth to the reject-invoice semantics, because you'd better fucking reject the ones you don't intend to pay
mircea_popescu: ;est you end up paying them later
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you wanna write out a prediction, you got about an hour or so ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am at a loss for prediction, aside from above
mircea_popescu: aite, ima prep it.

BingoBoingo: Ah, and found out why the cars are lined up. Gasoline is going up 9% but "Supergas" (propane) is not
asciilifeform: in other interesting rtfm's, 'The GNAT compiler supports dimensionality checking. The user can specify physical units for objects, and the compiler will verify that uses of these objects are compatible with their dimensions, in a fashion that is familiar to engineering practice. The dimensions of algebraic expressions (including powers with static exponents) are computed from their constituents.' (ch. 6.5)
