ben_vulpes: no better than random selection, really.
ben_vulpes: "to improve the quality of care!" mno. to increase the cost of care.

ben_vulpes: never said it couldn't!
ben_vulpes: btcalpha too, if i recall correctly.
ben_vulpes: doesn't *have* to.
ben_vulpes: spittoon.
ben_vulpes: if not completely static, at the very least no js.
ben_vulpes: it's an exceptionally useful demarcation. "web tech", js and rounded corners for the bezzletron, static html for tmsr~.
ben_vulpes: works shmerkz
ben_vulpes: the engineering constraint is not "webshites that mircea_popescu can use" but "velocity at which bezzlebuxx are burned"
ben_vulpes: that thing where there are no "web pages" on the thing, just a dynamically generated xml tree that the browser renders and rerenders in response to user input.

ben_vulpes: and it's not just "misc" constraints, it's MUST LOOK GOOD AT ALL PROPORTIONS WHILE CLIENT RESIZES BROWSER WINDOW

ben_vulpes: the day mircea_popescu ran javascript
ben_vulpes: oh man this is a riot
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm personally astonished you held out this long
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah
ben_vulpes: or like pick i don't know any other web tech tar baby
ben_vulpes: or heroku?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: right! why does github need so many people around?
ben_vulpes: modern ui tech is horrendously time intensive to make do things.
ben_vulpes: and now we know why startups can justify a staff of 150 for a web site, as if it were ever in question.
ben_vulpes: which as trinque says is a feature of the whole thing.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and we haven't even gotten to the maintenance cost of this shit.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that's what's going on!
ben_vulpes spots a fat tailed distribution
ben_vulpes: to get "nice interactions" on mobile devices, your options are to write objective c, java, or js.
ben_vulpes: so a twist
ben_vulpes: WHO KNOWS
ben_vulpes: maybe that data comes over the wire on app boot up
ben_vulpes: maybe there's an endpoint you can curl to get your domain list
ben_vulpes: saas boss, they show you what they want to show you
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu's trying to reason about the browser shitstack
ben_vulpes: trinque: send help
ben_vulpes: trinque: help
ben_vulpes: if it's weird data in the actual database, i fire up a goddamn sql terminal.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i haven't seen many things that i could reproduce in the production environment that i couldn't reproduce in my local environments, but even for weirdness showing up in production that needs debugging there, i run the application in the browser to get it to the bad state, attach to the code running on the server (however that works for $turdlang), and inspect what the browser is doing and how the server responds.
ben_vulpes: aheuahuea
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aaaah, other html pages showing the same data
ben_vulpes: terminal into production?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: do you know what he means by "spigot the actual tech people use"?
ben_vulpes: like versioned css or something insane
ben_vulpes: oh i'm sure it's crucial to the functioning of some AWESOME tool
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yes and?
ben_vulpes: go find the api client js file and read through that. if you're lucky enough they factored the js so cleanly that you can find the api endpoints.
ben_vulpes: read the source, or run the thing and monitor its api calls.
ben_vulpes: "the deps" are the rest of the js and html that the thing needs to run
ben_vulpes: that you don't load either
ben_vulpes: other script tags
ben_vulpes: server sez: "here's the js to run, here are the deps, here's the css, go to town"
ben_vulpes: very little html is sent over the wire
ben_vulpes: yes yes yes
ben_vulpes: okay, simpler
ben_vulpes: yeah...
ben_vulpes: ugh why do i know this
ben_vulpes: okay well a js application contains the state of user interaction with the "app". when it *needs* to talk to the server, it makes api calls for data and then renders that or does calculations or whatever might need to be done.
ben_vulpes: "dynamically generated pages" but generated in response to a specific HTTP request.
ben_vulpes: cgi is still request loop stuff, right?
ben_vulpes is trying to understand how this is cgi
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you don't. there are no urls, there's a javascript application that stands on the dom.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the press algo must then press all same-tree-level leaves for the given leaf, correct?
ben_vulpes: yes yes
ben_vulpes: no man its so much worse
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: stare into the void
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that's a js app not a web page
ben_vulpes: ANGULAR
ben_vulpes: so asciilifeform i notice that none of the "flow" implementations to date have matching output, and the "press" all depend to one degree or another on the inputs to the relevant "tsort" implementations, they're not guaranteed to "press" the same trees. non determinism at this endpoint gives me the willies, is that stupid?
ben_vulpes: "socialist millionaires protocol", too lol
ben_vulpes doesn't know how this nugget failed to make it into the turd
ben_vulpes: "pick another corner, dumbshits, this one is mine."
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that is the only solution, right?
