ben_vulpes would dearly like to know how base58 is not another wart of pointless complexity
ben_vulpes: addrs have a bloody checksum; dafuq is this "human mistake amelioration" crap
ben_vulpes: saturday the first of october, in which ben_vulpes (re?)discovers that bitcoin uses its own inane encoding scheme for addresses
ben_vulpes: oh god the lols keep pouring out: "This bitcoind address validator is a subclass of the Django forms.CharField class" linked from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1026.0

ben_vulpes: thanks pete_dushenski !
ben_vulpes: and the smileys
ben_vulpes: ah found the nested option
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i would also like to shoot the inane smileys in the head, but there are only so many hours in the day and i only have two hands.

ben_vulpes: but to make me log into your braindead portal so i can review a 'secure document' telling me that my insurance payment went through?
ben_vulpes: i understand banks not wanting to email me statements in plaintext, fine, whatever
ben_vulpes: man this "secure messaging" horseshit is starting to get out of hand

ben_vulpes: assuming pallet can be extracted whole etc
ben_vulpes: what i find a bent panel, i'm going to put it back on the pallet?
ben_vulpes: and i sure as heck /would/ clamber around on the thing poking at its innards before getting it off the delivery pallet.
ben_vulpes: a) /delivery/, generally one levels etc after pulling it off pallet but w/e, b) it's not a total shoop in the style of that retro pornshot mircea_popescu posted with the apple kb?

ben_vulpes: freenode passwords are useless as an authentication mechanism. the republic has an authentication mechanism, it is gpg-via-deedbot.
ben_vulpes: that last bit though

ben_vulpes: oblig
ben_vulpes: as opposed i imagine to sitting around producing knowledge by cheeping at each other!
ben_vulpes: reliance on lecture as a teaching method!
ben_vulpes: Examples of STEM classroom practices that contribute to a chilly climate are weed-out courses, courses that grade on a curve, a competitive environment, reliance on lecture as a teaching method, an individualistic culture, and comprehensive exams
ben_vulpes: ahaha and i found the pp mircea_popescu was lampooning
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-22#1547299 << "The disciplinary training of many physical scientists eschews alternative paradigms of knowledge production" ohohohahahahaha
ben_vulpes only recognized this due to sins of a previous life
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: commented, and also your blog still has the gravatar thing
ben_vulpes: worked swimmingly for the headers, though!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, phf: i'm giving up on variable length binary-types for now. my personal pons asinorum for this library is the task of defining either a type or a class whose value could be either u8, u16, u32 or u64, plus the headaches of entirely arbitrary-length scripts.

ben_vulpes: i haven't seen gribble quit in some time.

ben_vulpes: yeah actually now that you mention it, i'm abolishing users altogether.
ben_vulpes: now that you mention it, 'log in' entails a link in yr email.
ben_vulpes: psh.
ben_vulpes: that just makes it harder to get their money later.
ben_vulpes: why would you ever want to log users out?
ben_vulpes: today, i am electing to not implement a logout button.
