ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-07#1563268 << the integral term is rather large at this point
ben_vulpes: somewhere in the back of my head i'm balancing the tradeoffs of continuing to use apple machines as ssh terminals into actually-usable machines vs cutting over to linux or a bsd wholesale
ben_vulpes: xquartz needs some lovin too.
ben_vulpes: but that box on the table is the thing that produces and signs builds, and when apple says upgrade, it gets upgraded because it's a day to unfuck the toolchain after they break it and some completely unknowable amount of time to reverse engineer whatever the fuck xcode is doing.
ben_vulpes: no argument there
ben_vulpes: lurking assumption is that it is possible to bring sanity to the compilation and signing process.
ben_vulpes: am i to reverse engineer which endpoint they want it at every time they upgrade "app uploader" or swizzle the delivery pipeline?
ben_vulpes: go, build, sign, get accepted
ben_vulpes: and if you think you can do that with not-the-latest-xcode-and-os i have a build here that needs sucking through apple's garden hose
ben_vulpes: for the reprehensibly obstinate and misc log readers the only reason one could possibly *need* an apple box were if one came from such a bad life that producing builds for apple's walled garden was a regular requirement
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: has entire gentoo cockpit iirc
ben_vulpes: we've disposed of this "laptop" "need" right?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: but /why/ would you use an apple product?
ben_vulpes is enjoying imagining mircea_popescu 's face
ben_vulpes: well let's backpedal: why on earth would anyone ever use a macintosh product?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you know that's not how things work
ben_vulpes: over eg laptop sleeps
ben_vulpes: aaand, for no discernable reason, since the 10.?? -> 10.999 os x upgrade, bringing emacs to the front ROUTINELY results in multi-second beachballs, and emacs is now losing locks to itself
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am grossly familiar with wokeness theatrics
ben_vulpes: gotcha
ben_vulpes is miserably naive about all forms of spycraft
ben_vulpes: as* in
ben_vulpes: in actual defense of the man?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is a 'dry run' in this context?
ben_vulpes: would you go so far as to say that he has done you a violence?
ben_vulpes: long black hair in front of the eyes and all i imagine
ben_vulpes: doubtful, they're all a part of the 'tech scene'
ben_vulpes: !~later tell pete_dushenski can't recall when you asked about my shitball, but 3.7 M so far

ben_vulpes: well, using anything other than illustrator for vector work is very stupid for precisely this reason.
ben_vulpes: "..."
ben_vulpes: "our boxes?"
ben_vulpes: "NO THERE IS NO REASON. IT IS PURE ARROGANCE AND DISREGARD FOR OUR BOXES."
ben_vulpes: from other parts of the room: "i'm sure there's some highfalutin' CS reason why -- "
ben_vulpes: NEGLECTING COMPLETELY THE OTHER PROJECT TARGETS
ben_vulpes: "o i see you have a target, i'll just swizzle these files around and source-to-source transform all these other files"
ben_vulpes: FUCKING POORLY
ben_vulpes: but let me tell you about how well xcode <latest> upgraded this swift 2 project to swift 3
ben_vulpes: since never!
ben_vulpes: "The feature was so great that we started to overload the npmjs.org service."

ben_vulpes still having trouble with the gravel driveway thing
ben_vulpes: no but i also don't call that which isn't a plinth a plinth
ben_vulpes: shame.
ben_vulpes: only tangentially relatedly, cheech and chong scrubbed the rape jokes from their classic albums.
ben_vulpes: "baliff? whack his architect."
ben_vulpes: > plinth shop
ben_vulpes: i'd crucify the architect who tried to tell me that an ionian column could sit aesthetically o 2 inches of plinth.
ben_vulpes: that is most definitely not a plinth.
ben_vulpes: plinths are ~2ft tall

ben_vulpes: get a temperature controllable oven, start with soft steel and harden it per the kindergarten heat treatment tables
ben_vulpes: who is to know
ben_vulpes: perhaps giant wooden cog with mega reduction will serve asciilifeform's purposes!
ben_vulpes: what application, asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: no you stop with that
ben_vulpes: well, no, and "depends"
ben_vulpes: what kind of application?
ben_vulpes: what /are/ you cutting with the laser?

ben_vulpes: i was a few centuries off on stills.
ben_vulpes: and not even the high proof stuff at that.
ben_vulpes: yeah.
ben_vulpes: hence my question!
ben_vulpes: no, i'd say that "historic drugs" fits quite nicely into the same time window as "gay = only fucks men"
ben_vulpes points at the fifth line up
ben_vulpes: and you'll say that my cursory research finding that he slept with a few ladies to be entirely wrong?
ben_vulpes: qua "men who only have sex with other men"?

ben_vulpes: nobody shows up at any doors, sheesh

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-01#1561232 << merely that wallet might reasonably be muntzed out of bitcoind proper into block-muncher-and-tx-indexer. topologically very similar to "reindex" and friends, but could eschew "wallet" idiocies involving change addresses and sensible address reuse.

ben_vulpes: "Zooko proposed recently to periodically force everyone to reveal their balance as a solution for the hidden inflation problem." << ahaha i mean fuck what's the point
