ben_vulpes: count(first)
ben_vulpes: eh, if i'd done it against a table with two rows it'd have made sense immediately.
ben_vulpes: the really funny thing is that i ran a similar query against a table with one row
ben_vulpes: ah
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: why did count(1) not return 1?
ben_vulpes: i am going to raise my hand and ask a stupid question
ben_vulpes: "a database for when persistence means turning fsync on"
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: are you sure you shouldn't be using olegdb?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: fuck that guy, he left the only usable visual git client for os x to rot without releasing the source.
ben_vulpes: olegdb!
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: does it run on oleg?

ben_vulpes: why

ben_vulpes: for what it's worth, when i spot check it against other "block explorers" it's seen blocks before them.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah, yeah. less than useful i suppose then if it's mostly an indicator of node state.
ben_vulpes: there is some lag between when it learns about a block and when it reports it to irc, as it dumps and parses blocks, but it reports the logged timestamp accurately to the best of my knowledge.
ben_vulpes: into its logs.
ben_vulpes: no i kid, it's the time at which the node shits ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: blockchain dot com, ofc

ben_vulpes: it is quickest, what.
ben_vulpes: aquentson: the quickest way to get a handle on the various philosophies floating around is to read at least a year's worth of http://btcbase.org/log
ben_vulpes: well quickest way possible isn't going to get you anywhere.
ben_vulpes: it's got a long history of teaching philosophy.
ben_vulpes: are you familiar with the socratic method?
ben_vulpes: and i'm not here for retarded questions.
ben_vulpes: so you want to ask a cell what the human thinks?
ben_vulpes: there is no "you guys". individuals exist.
ben_vulpes: to use your line, let's backtrack.
ben_vulpes: rigorous discussion is tough, it's nothing personal.
ben_vulpes: no, "belief" in "the free market" is wildly unspecific.
ben_vulpes: moreover, anyone can go mine blocks over 1mb at their own discretion.
ben_vulpes: that is not necessarily the same as "the free market".
ben_vulpes: perfect, virginal, unsullied?
ben_vulpes: the one true free market?
ben_vulpes: 'the free market'?
ben_vulpes: "scalability" is shorthand for "make bitcon == visa", with all of the chargebacks and fiat braindamage that entails.
ben_vulpes: it's also an inflationary move.
ben_vulpes: increasing the block size breaks the schelling point.
ben_vulpes: !!up aquentson

ben_vulpes: so no

ben_vulpes: ever watch the shows?
ben_vulpes: gallardo, scuse me.
ben_vulpes: NOW THAT'S USING A BUDGET TO GOOD EFFECT
ben_vulpes: remember when the jackass boys sawed a sun roof into a murcielago or whatever?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the truly sad thing about the show is that they have the budget to hoon in style but choose instead retarded fucking tricks
ben_vulpes: wasted the lavish budget they squeezed out of uncle jeff on such fucking retarded hijinks in e2 i could not continue
ben_vulpes: too much talking, not enough hooning about.
ben_vulpes: i have a different take
ben_vulpes: also features omar from the wire playing a cop.
ben_vulpes: utterly. fucking. hysterical. mostly because it's not ever clear how funny the script is on purpose and how funny on accident.
ben_vulpes: r kelly's trapped in the closet on the other hand, i watched over twenty episodes of.

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: that's just how he holds his hands!
ben_vulpes: "...and the wisdom to know the difference"
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: you know i think my girl finally wrapped her head around that particular fabrication challenge in 2016
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'internal combusion engine'
ben_vulpes: but the memory fabricator insists it was derived from ice-likes
ben_vulpes: i did say gc'd
ben_vulpes: 'twasn't a rocket. did i say rocket?
ben_vulpes: did not realize that greybeard meant "master of arcana", was using it to mean "wizards of great power"
ben_vulpes: i suppose that i mean "men who have built their own shops out of forth"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: and?
ben_vulpes: so, gc'd
ben_vulpes: sounded complex and unlikely to find a home between traditional turbine and rel-style multimodal rockets
ben_vulpes: laser ignition of exotic fuel bits
ben_vulpes: fwiw, intel holds that several 'important' (i cannot evaluate that) forth greybeards have been distracted by very strange flugencraft
ben_vulpes: too old
ben_vulpes: you've even said that chip speed is trumped by coherent semantics to the bedrock.
ben_vulpes: well i read it as "forth chip by chuck moore" and that's more appealing than anything else i've seen.
ben_vulpes currently reading http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/AN007-141112-10BASET.pdf
ben_vulpes: and in other NICs: "A software-defined full duplex 10baseT Network Interface Controller is implemented as a team of nodes controlling transmit and receive signal pins directly. The signals are conditioned by minimal electrical interface circuitry. External transmit timing is used. The team is designed to function as a memory-mapped device but may be stripped down for direct use by other node teams."
ben_vulpes: ah
ben_vulpes: half the time i bounce through cliki i end up in a loop of this pointing to that pointing to some Person page pointing back to the totally uninformative original page
ben_vulpes: lol written? by people?

ben_vulpes: polyurethane
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i have one
ben_vulpes: the memory fabricator is in full swing over here. wants to say that it was a tome that fell out of a moldbug piece but i really have nfi.
ben_vulpes: the one, but that's probably not right.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: and somehow the conclusion that "most humans are barely over the cognitive threshold of a farm animal" never presents itself
ben_vulpes: i can't remember who it was (byron? meep, no clue), but held that "before long, they'll be wanting rights for cats and dogs, cows and hogs"
ben_vulpes: animal rights has been the funniest joke about progressivism since before women were even up for the franchise

ben_vulpes: yeah, i've heard you object to that before.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: keypress timing? :P
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: user ssh's into server, opens running emacs with `emacsclient -nw`

ben_vulpes: it's not that women can't be cowards but that cowards (unqualified) are men.
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: which reminds me of a thought perhaps mircea_popescu can make better use of than i, given how it's been evading my grasp: why is it that you can have brave men and brave women, but cowards are all men?
ben_vulpes: heh which reminds me: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20170101/attachment.txt?sha1=054f90b71ea58b51b3dd37774b495d5f7e85afee << zero income foundation carries on the zero asset legacy :P

ben_vulpes: a man's work stands on its own, for everyone else there are marketing departments standing by to contribute to revenues.
ben_vulpes: you'll have a long fucking slog getting him to use finished software if he's an investor in a revolutionary online publishing platform, though.
ben_vulpes: vanilla wordpress would work.
ben_vulpes: spiffy little chart pete_dushenski, howdja make it?
ben_vulpes: davout: aye, that's what i've always thought. no need to waste characters on a nick when a111 does it for ya!
ben_vulpes: (do people mute highlights from a111 ?)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ^^
ben_vulpes: it might not be so bad at that, there's one command to compile, and a single keypress to abort a failed compilation. ofc, you'll have to either edit directly in emacs (strongly recommended for parens-balancing reasons) or edit the file in something else of your choice (not recommended because no parens balancing) and then loading the file in a persistent lisp session in tmux or whatever
ben_vulpes: i think you'd get significant mileage out of it, but the cognitive overhead would probably enrage you.
ben_vulpes: lemme guess: you're ~epsilon interested in poking a running lisp process through emacs
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598344 << lol, missed this part.

ben_vulpes: more like 2.5 cost of bulk dirt if you're going to compare at the level of billet
ben_vulpes: nevermind that the retail cost for corrugated panel is going to be rather larger than that for billet which omfg cannot be bought retail
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: neglects the cost of turning brick into structural frames and walls
