gabriel_laddel: trinque: in this particular they wanted something that *actually works*
trinque: depending on the type of consulting, it may be more or less up to you how to actually implement whatever's called for
gabriel_laddel: But perhaps handling some of the business side of things + gnarly technical tasks.
gabriel_laddel: I'm noodling around with the idea of my hunting down contracts for CL people
Luke-Jr: k, highlight me if there's more
gabriel_laddel: This is my experience. The C++/.NET code for the device I was communicating with today - 250 lines of code to do what my single line does.
trinque: doesn't seem like they then consider whether they have any cranial space left for their problem
trinque: people who prefer more complicated and disorderly systems seem to think there's some virtue in being able to cram it all into the head (C++...)
gabriel_laddel: (well, a single line setup + other crud)
trinque: though, as it stays out of the goddamn way of the task of programming, I could see never tiring of it
gabriel_laddel: o nice, then you've pretty much the best of what emacs has to offer for CL development.
gabriel_laddel: via the slime-inspector
gabriel_laddel: modify their state etc
decimation: because the meaning of 'invalid' was changed
decimation: the point I am driving at is that someone can mine blocks without consenting to anything w.r.t. the codebase
decimation: oh, I see. handed down from the ancients who wrote 0.7?
Luke-Jr: that's just the nature of softforks
Luke-Jr: had anyone else mined an invalid block for any reason, the SPV miners would have continued those chains too
Luke-Jr: (the remaining 5%)
Luke-Jr: except it wasn't; it just meant there were suddenly people mining invalid blocks
Luke-Jr: decimation: the 950/1000 block definition is specific to BIP66/v3; it's fairly sound, and the recent fiasco is basically unrelated to it
gabriel_laddel: The elephant trunk (well, close)! http://www.jwz.org/blog/2015/01/today-in-robotentacle-news-4/
decimation: yes, and the meaning is used in the concensus code, which 'activates' after 950/1000 blocks with the new version are seen
Luke-Jr: trinque: sure, but they have no particular meaning until defined
trinque: Luke-Jr: blocks have a version, do they not?
decimation: okay maybe I'm using the term 'soft-fork' to mean something different. What do you call 'block revision increment'?
decimation: Luke-Jr: what is your opinion on the recent soft-fork/mining fiasco? Do you think that 950/1000 blocks constitutes any kind of 'consensus'?
trinque: it's somewhat interesting to note that wikipedia has a german page on hunchentoot, but the english one was deleted.
decimation: He's describing the classic 'baptists and bootleggers' economy
decimation: "These families—by law—may not have a father. Therefore, 15 years from that Wal-Mart going up, you will have a full generation of violent, rootless, fatherless youth grown up with no sense of community, responsibility, or decency, who will instead be infused with a sense of entitlement, righteous oppression, and slave class envy for you, the guy buying the house down the street as its value plummets. "
decimation: http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2533 < "These employees will bring their families to the area. There will also be an influx of welfare families fleeing the city ahead of the drug gangs and predatory police along the bus lines set up at tax payer expense so that you can save 25 cents on a dozen eggs, which requires some schlep to stock them in that upright cooler on a wage that cannot support an automobile."
mod6: asciilifeform: testnet patch looks good at first read-through. i'll apply these to my sources bases (on top of stator + patches { dump/eat block }) and continue testing. i'll also add these to my build-with-patches guide.
decimation: gee, I wonder if cash and the fetish of power changed his mind
decimation: "Sanfilippo described Vincenzetti as a very liberal person interested in protecting free speech, someone who saw cryptography as "a means to protect communications." But over time, Vincenzetti's view evidently evolved to allow the security professional to found Hacking Team. "

mircea_popescu: obviously invite-only would solve all the same conundrums we currently solve in this particularly circumlocutionary manner
ascii_field: but the n00bs-get-ddosed turd still stinks. no matter how dresses as sausage
mircea_popescu: for should they ever be fixed, yes, it'd perhaps be "easier" for x to get involved. nevertheless, it'll also be pointless for anyone to get involved.
mircea_popescu: to make things too pointed for life : tyhis place doesn't need X, for any given x. it can use x, but it has alternatives. X however, ~does not~ have alternatives. he pretends like he does and perceives that he does. he does not. the reason this is the case is specifically for particularities of this place that should never be fixed.
ascii_field: but i suspect that the puzzle of how to get 'talebs' in here without the doorway being permanently plugged with reddit turds will remain

mircea_popescu: because there's not enough brains to feed seven billion heads.

ascii_field: where i live - they're monosyllabic. mental age permanently 12 or so
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the 'fake look' to me suggests that there's 'nobody home', rather than organism 'trying' anything
mircea_popescu: the latter may be right, but in principle she'll be right some of the time and it's necessarily hard to separate them. the latter's gonna be nice, also some of the time, but much easier to separate.
mircea_popescu: much better than the alternative "career woman" from a purely moral standpoint.

ascii_field: interrupts are precisely the wrong kind of animal
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i have no idea what sort of an argument is this. there's no such thing as good or bad entropy. the thing is unqualifiable by definition. do you mean that you'd have to wait longer to generate a strong address? so you would.
ascii_field: thing is, rng needs attributes ~other~ than 'shits entropy'. namely, not to be correlated with variables manipulable or monitorable by enemy
