(trilema) ben_vulpes: you were bitching about csvs! how'm i to know what you do and do not know.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: albeit recently =~ last 3 years
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that i have also learned recently!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: my worry is precisely those constraints. "only ascii chars? utf-8 monstrosities?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes is stupidly proud to actually understand this now
(trilema) ben_vulpes: galls me on some level to think about a hash, which i concieve of as an integer, as a byte array or a set of chars.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: without having to cast said to a NUMERIC
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but it lends the benefit of "oh, derps asked about 1b1tc01n34t3r"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: CHAR[] didn't make much sense to me, because a hash isn't instrinsically a set of characters, except insofar as a byte array can be seen as a set of characters, but which characters...
(trilema) ben_vulpes: phf: i know, i meant 'integer' in the abstract, with numeric as the concrete implementation that i'd use.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "haha but why aren't you upgrading?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "why the everloving fuck would i install 500 mb of webkit for shit that should have been packaged with the source?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "oh. have you installed dash?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "mno. not worth the cost."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "oh. you should probably upgrade."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "yes. eric holscher in his infinite wisdom removed documentation for 1.3.5"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "oh. have you tried readthedocs?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "documentation. you know. as what readthedocs is generated from."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "where are the docs installed with ancient djangos in virtualenvs?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: unrelatedly hoooooly shit the retardation on display in #django
(trilema) ben_vulpes: a hand-curated selection of rss feeds
(trilema) ben_vulpes: qntra, mostly
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways, client has arrived for dinner
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mitsu adventurewagons
(trilema) ben_vulpes: coulda sworn that was a thing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: semi-relatedly, the delicas are migrating south
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: will have to send me a bottle of whatever he's enjoying tonight
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'could' doesn't explain why whole cities stood still on the plain for slaughter and rape by the mongols
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hence the question of 'integer vs. byte array'
(trilema) ben_vulpes: phf: i'd like to stick these values into postgres, not hold them in memory in a lisp process.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nobody can be sent out for infrastructure on a bike.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: can't be sent out for infrastructure on a bike
(trilema) ben_vulpes: girl dun bike
(trilema) ben_vulpes: said the ostrich
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that stroll we took in ba never cracked ten
(trilema) ben_vulpes: get out of here with your sticks and magic numbers
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ftr i do an average 24.6 km/h for thirty five minutes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: a bicycle.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: phf: talking postgres, actually.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that's not nearly southern women as it is "women who live in suburbia in the south of usgistan"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways, very interested on notions about tradeoffs of byte arrays vs. massive integers
(trilema) ben_vulpes: don't disagree! just...not relevant.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: my question is about data in the blockchain. eg merkle roots, block/txn hashes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the tree, though...
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well the mr is a hash of hashes, no? doesn't have much structure to it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what, "hash" as its own data type?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: tooootally tangentially and not at all related to anything else, would there be any reason to store merkleroots, block/txn hashes as integers vs byte arrays?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ^^
(trilema) ben_vulpes: psql will even shit csvs
(trilema) ben_vulpes has seen this face.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no, you don't.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and put that motherfuckin browser down, kid
(trilema) ben_vulpes: getcher hands dirty
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the entire point i apparently failed to make.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: in large part to avoid showing taxable incomes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: idly considering acquiring several old trailers, rehabing them with ladybird and renting them out
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and they think they only behave that way /on ice/
(trilema) ben_vulpes: town of derps.
(trilema) ben_vulpes has enough cars, salivating over pickups and haustrucks these days
(trilema) ben_vulpes: happens pretty reliably once every other winter or so
(trilema) ben_vulpes: give this town two inches of snow and you get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCoxOReXlHI
(trilema) ben_vulpes: *even* in the summer.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "most likely won't rain" every day
(trilema) ben_vulpes: kinda obligatory in the summer for commuters due to the wacky climate dynamics in the area.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean raingear's a thing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i did not envision living in a neighborhood without sidewalks.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no sidewalks.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: plus the american flags and crosses and big pickups tend to scare the hipsters away.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 'living in portland' aren't interested
(trilema) ben_vulpes: quite idyllic, and far enough out that people whose egos are tied up in
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 'springwater corridor' etc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and by dedicated i mean physically segregated and no stopping.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 85%+ of it on dedicated bike routes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 35 minute ride in and out
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 8.3 ish miles from the office
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i saw a few vancouver rentals this weekend
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that's the best part
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i moved out of the city!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but the rent and the move etc are just money
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nono, america es un pais pobre
(trilema) ben_vulpes: here there's another good one with the hockey players
(trilema) ben_vulpes: fence was the actually onerous thing.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ty, that's just money though
(trilema) ben_vulpes watches again
(trilema) ben_vulpes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozDDYcyrCNE << ever hear of letterkenny, pete_dushenski ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jus ribbin ya
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i have a live in chef for food, and my own two hands for servers.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: rattles water molecules, makes $thing hot
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean yeah, it's a microwave, to continue the cooking metaphor.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: should you give a shit
(trilema) ben_vulpes: tools you might consider instead, fail2ban, iptables, apache mod_status
(trilema) ben_vulpes: looks like you 'just want to' server stats from here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "nah it's fine, i'll just have the shit-cooking kitchen *over there*"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: idem server purchases.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: should one care to.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: os reinstalls are trivial.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and whoever said scarce, or anything like that.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: just ain't kosher.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: feel free to boil shit in gutter oil in your own kitchen.
(trilema) ben_vulpes waves to the forever-tarnished robert viragh
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i recall this, had my own near identical experience lol
(trilema) ben_vulpes: go, try to remove cpanel from a machine.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: `http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506634 << incidentally, renders servers nigh-unusable for other purposes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: probably has better binding arbitrartion jokes than i in any case
(trilema) ben_vulpes not involved in any sort of binding arbitration
(trilema) ben_vulpes: previous line in some other buffer or what?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: did that come from?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: binding arbitration
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lol and even more in teh other logs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: people will bitch about ths js.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i believe that you're familiar with this?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: when the problem domains are simple, the solution proposed appears to work. in reality, as *tard mgmt demands more features, flexibility, reports, etc, the complexity of maintaining and extending under the frameworkreich becomes more and more costly, a thing not necessarily apparent to anyone who hasn't suffered the saga or who doesn't think in terms of complexity minimization from the get-go.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: not triggered, but definitely amused.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: ^^
(trilema) ben_vulpes: huh. "hoplite brings his own armor" anyways.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this is not mircea_popescu's harem where basic mathematics are beaten into slavegirls.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: student comes, submits, fights for each scrap of knowledge.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the light must be sought, it cannot be brought.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Framedragger: do pray tell how wars were fought without pre 1980?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: where does the malbec claim to be from?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: okay yeah that makes sense.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "artisanally hand-carved pcbs!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i still have nfi why you'd design in any way but parametrically.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i never ever used anything but geometric constraints when designing parts.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what do you need the precision for?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: my asciilifeform emulator says "because wasted time switching between mouse and spaceball!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (it is a 6-dof input device)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it is very well integrated with the major cad packages.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why not use a spaceball?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: > IS gets squashed
(trilema) ben_vulpes: > assist iraqi troops
(trilema) ben_vulpes: > 560 additional troops
(trilema) ben_vulpes: interesting gedankenexperiment
(trilema) ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: doesn't /affect/ gameplay
(trilema) ben_vulpes: use sales as feedback
(trilema) ben_vulpes: chuck tingle makes me want to write an erotica shannonizer
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: no rush, i've got other irons in the fire that still need pounding.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that *does* sound nifty.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: why do you want this, Apocalyptic ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but yes, old.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i probably have it on disk somewhere
(trilema) ben_vulpes not particularly disposed to write an irc bot either
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: lowers the energy barrier for me to do the thing mircea_popescu and asciilifeform were talking about
(trilema) ben_vulpes has a fuzzy memory, is on the road though and not disposed to dig it up
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: did you ever deed deedbot's source?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: entertained and excited!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: awkwardly far from all astronomical cycle dates.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: well yes, i'm sharing it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i just told him he wasn't drunk yet.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i didn't *make* him drink
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: i did not know that tungsten was psychoactive
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "PRINCESS BUCKETS!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "another bucket?! what are you a princess?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: pulls his head out, whines plaintively, "may i have another bucket please?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: two more hours of that, i leave to go toodle around on vehicles on the desert. come back, he's asleep on the couch, head deep in five gallons of orange.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i strolled out of my tent at ~9a to him drinking directly from the bottle. said, "i'm drunk! what do you think about that?" "psh, you're nowhere near drunk"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i witnesesd a feller at burning man receive the moniker of 'princess buckets' one time.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: today we learn that mircea_popescu has tiny bukkits
(trilema) ben_vulpes: gasoline's like 40 Mj/kg
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "it's BRAIN DAMAGE!!!1"
(trilema) ben_vulpes has not heard the thing since his youth. on vinyl!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what, for the novice parents, is the braindamage in cosby's routine?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "chocolate cake!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that's all i'm saying.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if it works (and what, the brits can't do anything, clearly), it's the only improvement with legs over the classic rocket.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: leave atmo, cut over to internal fuel supply.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so, keep water from precipitating out of the gas coming in, cool it rapidly by dumping the heat into the h2, react h2 and o2 (and yes, some h2o), you have an air-breathing rocket that (yes, nominally) can operate in atmosphere with out consuming onboard o2 all the way up to mach 5.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and so long as there is o2, it *will* burn.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: keep it from doing that, you have cold, high pressure ambient gas you can dump into a steady state reaction chamber.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it wants to freeze over the intercooler hooked to the h2.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the only reason is because von braun was a savage.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mass in rocket exhaust is a /good thing/ ffs.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: $google more things under heaven and earth
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's internal h2 plus ambient air
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no silly it's not /water-oxidiser/
(trilema) ben_vulpes: see also peroxide motors
(trilema) ben_vulpes: srsly this is kindergarten rocket chem
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: turns to steam helps with isp
(trilema) ben_vulpes: add glycol, drop the freezing point.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but like cold fusion, railguns keep usg contractors in the procurement pipeline.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (less useful because a) drag losses and b) accuracy)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ramjet if you want to stay low.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the further away your target is, the less useful the railgun and the more useful the classic icbm.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: drag is proportional to v^2
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the only new part of the whole system is the precooler to take air at mach5 and cool it without frosting everything over.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and how.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mats: why would one want an unguided projectile?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: once it leaves compressible atmo, it cuts over to internal o2 supply fed directly into the *same* combustion chambers.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the *single best bet* on orbital advances in my lifetime is the mach-5 airbreather.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mats: sure, but how do rockets not solve this better and more cheaply
(trilema) ben_vulpes: bonus, you can point the latter. not so much for either the cannon or railgun.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: at that point, you may as well save on fab and engineering costs and submerge a hydrogen gun right under the water
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not to mention the accelerations involved make it more or less entirely impractical for anything other than raw materials.
(trilema) ben_vulpes to investigate how apple has broken his whitelabeling toolchain. again. still. now.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/07/how_puerto_rico_beat_the_hedge_funds.html << obab gets to claim victory, kicks can down road for successors. ¡sorpresa!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ideally will leave both there
(trilema) ben_vulpes off to walk rent and baby to landlords
(trilema) ben_vulpes: classic portland lols
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 'human readable'!
