ben_vulpes: as someone somewhere once said "i don't hire developers who spell well, i hire developers who mispell consistently."
ben_vulpes: not that anyone should expect a "developer" to understand how to write english well - it's hard and takes a lot of dedicated study.
ben_vulpes: "pushed by" not "initiated by". furthermore, doesn't make the usage somehow acceptable.
ben_vulpes: "their" implies more than one party.
ben_vulpes: if you don't know the gender, say "his or her"
ben_vulpes: a plural cannot by definition be a singular thing.
ben_vulpes: as a valid construct.
ben_vulpes: it's only ever pushed by "anti sexists"
ben_vulpes: nevermind that them/their is actually incorrect grammar if not used in reference to more than one person

ben_vulpes pissing on fences
ben_vulpes: "whole blockchain" << and more specifically, a trivial lookup of txids
ben_vulpes: *entirely* different project
ben_vulpes: raw transactions
ben_vulpes: no no no
ben_vulpes: say i have the transaction hash (aka txid) and output index - how do i get the pubkey those coins were sent to?
ben_vulpes: how do i get the pubkey for a given output?
ben_vulpes: sure
ben_vulpes: a user-supplied privkey.
ben_vulpes: (one can sign anything at any time - that's not the problem. the problems crop up in a) knowing the sigs are valid and b) the multi-input, multi-privkey transaction generation use-case: how am i to know which privkeys are to be used to sign which inputs, and furthermore [and somewhat recursively] how do i know those signatures to be valid?)
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: make sense?
ben_vulpes: otherwise you just sign hash of txn, index in txn, and have no way to double check that you produced a valid signature corresponding to the pubkey to which those funds were transmitted originally.
ben_vulpes: to verify that you've created a valid transaction, you have to have the entirety of the previous output on hand to examine the public key
ben_vulpes: but!
ben_vulpes: to use the modern txn api, yeah
ben_vulpes: i don't know that a bitcoind would be able to verify a transaction without access to the full inputs
ben_vulpes: while this isn't *strictly* necessary, it's how things work now.
ben_vulpes: creating a raw transaction requires having the previous transaction in hand in full at runtime, so as to extract the pubkey from the previous transaction
ben_vulpes: far easier for the people working on it at the time to make some silly assumptions about what txns a user would want to sign, and then keep those txns on hand
ben_vulpes: i'm starting to see some of the rationale behind the wallet paradigm - creating transactions for signing requires being able to retrieve arbitrary transactions from the blockchain

ben_vulpes: davout: pretty much.
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: thing is, solr is very stateful inside.
ben_vulpes: davout: tell me about it
ben_vulpes: (on the old solr container's port)
ben_vulpes: for instance, i've got a client who (for some silly reasons) basically needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis. the approach to date has been to drop the index at a low-traffic time, rebuild, and hope nobody notices. with docker, we can boot a new container, index into it, and then when the indexing is complete, shut the old solr container down and boot the new solr container.
