(trilema) ben_vulpes: the mess of complexity in development (not just 'web', chil'ren) is very very similar to the argentine problem of everyone believing their flats are worth all that us paper.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah we might get there and again stan might get hit by a bus tomorrow
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and just the likelihood of that happening makes me want those under v.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: et al
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's vastly more likely that someone's going to need to crap out a patch for eg openssl than replace it wholesale.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: unless we want seperate v 'repos' for each dep for distributing patches to those libs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: we'll need to v everything
(trilema) ben_vulpes: implies deps on dns, net, a million failure points.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: our current vendoring goes and pulls that from thebitcoin.foundation, right?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: it's 2 that makes me want to vendor dependency sources.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how to bridge the gap between 'v means i read and agree' vs. 'we need the source for these deps in the v-tree'?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (shiva-verifiable, perhaps)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: none of those are really human-verifiable either.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: dependencies to freeze: bdb, boost, openssl
(trilema) ben_vulpes: too much problem surface area!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: aaaa
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (the kernel line was a joke, but whatever)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: so buildroot is out of scope then.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: only question in my mind is if we stick linus' kernel in there too.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one could stick source dependencies into some "lib" dir, wire that into the builder, update the scripts and then produce some new patches with the entire world, right?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: plus yeah, we have V, why not really tax it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: simply because every additional http call to get another bundle of source is another weak link, another hole for the night etc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm leaning towards a 'monorepo'
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well yes, source of all the deps right? are we biting off buildroot as well?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: freeze 'em.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: there are n candidates, each with individual odds of winning a competition. how do i derive odds on the whole field from those binary outcomes?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: take the odds on the republican election
(trilema) ben_vulpes: beyond that mircea_popescu and hanbot are probably the experts and asciilifeform might know the maths
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;later tell mike_c ^^
(trilema) ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, how does one calculate the odds of mutually-exclusive outcomes from binary odds on each individual outcome?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: symbols which it CAN ONLY GET ON COMPILE apparently.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yes you see it needs the debug symbols transmitted to some leprous SaaS thing for in-the-field device debugging

(trilema) ben_vulpes: well with the team, and (should we extend an offer to transition from contractor to employee) ascend our internal talent ladder.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Should you demonstrate speed of self-education, willingness to reach out for support if you need it, and the ability and willingness to cultivate your own beautiful little commit-trees, we'll offer you a contracting position paying $30/hr. This rate affords us the luxury of budgeting training and study time for you. Our hope is that as you build familiarity with the ecosystems and projects, that you'll demonstrate productivity, mesh
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Please reach out to me with any technical questions you have, any questions about how Git works or how to use it, or to review your progress and provide feedback. We take pairing and education seriously here, and are very happy to extend this support to you during this exercise.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: We're looking for a really nice commit and merging history, so feel free to trash your working copies aggressively in pursuit of a nice finished product.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: A huge part of the work that we do while building software is cultivating beautiful little trees of commits with Git. To that end, we want to resolve a concern on our end about getting you up to speed on our favorite version-controlatron (Git), and so we cooked up two exercises for you to work through over the next few weeks (see attached).
