ben_vulpes: so i woke up from the sleep of "ah - i've finally stablized this thing" at the butt of dawn to bring the cluster back
ben_vulpes: "proved" << just for you, alf
ben_vulpes: decimation: well last night after rigorous testing i neglected to disable the nightly job that i'd just proved responsible for taking down the client cluster
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: went to bed at 5 am, woke up at 9
ben_vulpes: sort of
ben_vulpes: i'm aliiiiive
ben_vulpes: http://paulgraham.com/ecw.html << run many models; run as many evaluations on those models as is practical and reweight the decisionmaking balance regularly; most ideas are bad ideas so try to find the smart people. did i miss anything?
ben_vulpes: << "tragic heroes"
ben_vulpes: hairy*
ben_vulpes: just makes hairly manly men that much more of a scarce commodity
ben_vulpes: nah undata it's great
ben_vulpes: i'd have a bro in a meshback trucker cap do my sql if they came in at a good rate and didn't need hand holding
ben_vulpes: oppressed as they were by the patriarchy/british/french/native american tribal leadership
ben_vulpes: they didn't have the /freedom/ to be transgendered.
ben_vulpes: all of the hotshot engineers want to work at northrup grumman! they make things so quickly, and their things are always /so good/.
ben_vulpes: nor are government contractors notoriously incompetent.
ben_vulpes: goodness no!
ben_vulpes: this just goes to show that we really need to regulate the people with databases so that they don't leak things.
ben_vulpes: oh but decimation that's an incompetent /private sector/ actor.
ben_vulpes: i can't help reading this as anything but a play to increase the "funnel" of "civil rights" cases that justify the expansion of "rights" perpetually.
ben_vulpes: raaarh except for the hideous autoplaying video
ben_vulpes: i fail to see the import of this.
ben_vulpes: once i untangle the thing, billing will commence again.
ben_vulpes: unbillable.
ben_vulpes: damn nightly jobs.
ben_vulpes: i'm on like day three of unbillable "get client back to known good cluster state" work.
ben_vulpes: i just cut a client over to aws from heroku and while everything went darn swimmingly, amazon's performance throttling of dbs is pretty painful.
ben_vulpes: postgres being a pretty awesome sql db.
ben_vulpes: i refer specifically to their hosted postgres databases.
ben_vulpes: heroku databases are pretty dang performant, even if they are heavily constrained on the number of rows users are allowed.
ben_vulpes: for the record
ben_vulpes: poor everyone involved.
ben_vulpes: who could ever know
ben_vulpes: a pete!
ben_vulpes: evaluating odd emails threads i seem to be mistakenly cc'd on: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Zq1qJJ2w

ben_vulpes: in the log?
ben_vulpes: new drama, even.
ben_vulpes: lol fractional reserve not a problem? hilarious, but go on
ben_vulpes: nm carry on with your parts :)
ben_vulpes: you were in a business relationship - yourself on the btc/dev/ops side, himself on the fiat banking/regulatory side, correct?
ben_vulpes: hang on, back up.
ben_vulpes: what was the contractual dispute?
ben_vulpes: bahahara
ben_vulpes: do it
ben_vulpes: if it's tasty
ben_vulpes: and a partfait view on polyamory
ben_vulpes: i take a profiterole view on identity.
ben_vulpes: oh god not with the sky fairies again
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> RagnarDanneskjol: Nice site http://thelogdailyreport.com/ << who is this?
ben_vulpes: probably have enough now
ben_vulpes: good god.
ben_vulpes: "at the current time"
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: actually, the "core devs" are trying to push all sorts of dumb shit on people. larger block sizes are on that list.
ben_vulpes: how is that not pushing your opinions on the MO of bitcoin onto gentoo users?
ben_vulpes: now distributed as a default for gentoo.
ben_vulpes: in your opinion.
ben_vulpes: so this is a sensible default.
ben_vulpes: except he doesn't have the courtesy to keep his braindamage on his own machines.
ben_vulpes: no but you see it's just *hiiiis* code, undata.
ben_vulpes: how is it garbage to send small amounts of bitcoin around?
ben_vulpes: please, at least, link to the point in the log where you explained how these small transactions are a ddos.
ben_vulpes: this one i've yet to hear an answer to.
ben_vulpes: again, Luke-Jr - how is this a ddos?
ben_vulpes: blockchain must bloat. fact of nature.
ben_vulpes: how precisely a ddos?
ben_vulpes: how is this an attack?
ben_vulpes: oh do go on.
ben_vulpes: "attacks on Bitcoin" << wat
ben_vulpes: "confronted" lol
ben_vulpes: his victims apparently don't care.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: nothing, clearly.
ben_vulpes: but imposed on the rest of the world...
ben_vulpes: his argument for not forwarding is fine, if constrained to his own apparently anemic boxes.
ben_vulpes: especially if you can't figure out how to load it as config.
ben_vulpes: but you should hard code that into your own sourceball instead of cramming into gentoo.
ben_vulpes: no definitely.
ben_vulpes: kinda misses the entire point of the tcp protocol, where one just routes packets.
ben_vulpes: it's *so* expensive to relay those transactions.
ben_vulpes: MPAA doesn't like magic numbers, Luke-Jr doesn't like magic numbers...
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: "bitcoin experts" oh my sides
ben_vulpes: fight drama with drama
ben_vulpes: "learned helplessness"
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i get paid to work on interesting problems. and, like other people who do this, it happens by cultivating relationships with people who have these problems. << this "work must be fun" trope again
ben_vulpes: oh is that just the mock?
ben_vulpes: $ git show 148e107d
ben_vulpes: $ git blame db.cpp | grep locks
ben_vulpes: 148e107d src/db.cpp (Luke Dashjr 2012-05-22 19:51:13 +0000 125) dbenv.set_lk_max_locks(10000);
ben_vulpes: $ cd src
ben_vulpes: $ cd bitcoin
ben_vulpes: this attitude has lead to all sorts of braindamage hard-coded in the source, like your commit introducing lock configuration into the mainline client.
ben_vulpes: no shit, sherlock.
ben_vulpes: "it's easier to hard code configuration into the source than read it as configuration at runtime"
ben_vulpes: "less efficient" << hm?
ben_vulpes: "it's too hard to do things correctly, so i'm just going to ram my idiocy into the codebase"
ben_vulpes: instead of the code?
ben_vulpes: why not put that in bitcoin.conf, eh?
ben_vulpes: just doesn't relay the transaction?
ben_vulpes: how exactly do these blacklists work? if a miner processes a transaction with a "banned" address - what then?
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: bitcoin on your phone? that's phenomenally retarded.
ben_vulpes: tit's a myth i tell you!
ben_vulpes: /sarcasm
ben_vulpes: *clearly* superior
ben_vulpes: engineering departments use matlab
ben_vulpes: numpy etc
ben_vulpes: yeah van Rossum was on payroll.
ben_vulpes: decimation: i may have mis-discovered my history but wasn't the steel behind python largely google before they created "Go"?
ben_vulpes: !up Vexual
ben_vulpes: i shudder at the mention, but perhaps i'll end up "Go"ing
ben_vulpes: yeah how do i roll greenarrays into the thing
ben_vulpes: clojure takes 30s to boot and so is utterly unusable for operations stuff. common lisp is...well, unpalatable to client operations staff. bash is not up to the task. python's right out, along with the *js crowd.
ben_vulpes: the last thing i see happening is me getting excited about using a language for infrastructure automation.
ben_vulpes: i've only been doing this for like 3 years now and i've already learned that languages are a red herring.
ben_vulpes: i don't really care about languages
ben_vulpes: decimation: concurrency semantics in py* are finger-crushingly bad.
ben_vulpes: bash is inadequately expressive/debuggable
ben_vulpes: python's basically dead in the water ("which python", to quote alf)
ben_vulpes: you and mod6 with the perl
ben_vulpes: it's *great* at immutable infrastructure. you know - "don't mutate, just stand up a new cluster"
ben_vulpes: but it's pretty lacking in terms of mutating the cluster in place, and not the most pleasant of things to work in being written mostly in bash.
ben_vulpes: i wrote a thing that handles turning standard piles of software into running software on ec2 with docker for environment isolation
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i run (small) clusters for clients.
ben_vulpes: mutation*
ben_vulpes: i'm at a loss where to go with provisioning, deployments and cluster mutatino
ben_vulpes: praise satoshi's spirit
ben_vulpes: all clients pacified
ben_vulpes: the same
ben_vulpes: self-steering for max efficacy
ben_vulpes: "look ma - no dom!"
ben_vulpes: i always enjoy derpettes humiliating themselves on camera.
ben_vulpes: pahaha
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "changing" << scam! i saw no nudity.
ben_vulpes: some earlyish webby forum thing
ben_vulpes: the well?
ben_vulpes: they have their hole, and it's the best, goddamit
ben_vulpes: may as well invite The Well, PeterL
ben_vulpes: once upon a time, computers were such that children could actually reason about them.
ben_vulpes: lordy
ben_vulpes: ask punkman. nominally some progress was to be made this weekend.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> the way this guy cuts down on all the dumb idlers that imagine whatever, b-a is just another channel, can autopilot in is so fucking great srlsy. << too strong of a noob filter imho. more spport for the casuals!
ben_vulpes: ty fluffypony
ben_vulpes: cause derp, obviously
ben_vulpes: is anyone aware of interesting hiccups around using bitcoin to send rpc commands to a bitcoin daemon running on a different host?
ben_vulpes: more accurately, the roboturrets don't miss.
ben_vulpes: i don't leave survivors.
ben_vulpes: at least in these parts "cross me and get shot".
ben_vulpes: and the message it sends?
ben_vulpes: how does a fence mark the land as belonging to any particular man?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: this is really such a mystery to you?
ben_vulpes: "a collar by any other name..."
ben_vulpes: a reference to territory marking.
ben_vulpes: different strokes
ben_vulpes: i like to piss on my bushes
ben_vulpes: no on lady v's finger
ben_vulpes: i got away with a "filigree" piece - 90% air anyways
ben_vulpes: first one'd have to pay more than the gold is worth
ben_vulpes: hah well
ben_vulpes: <thestringpuller> I had a coworker who bought a car, and is still underwater on the loan. It's like "really"? << when are car loans not ever underwater?
ben_vulpes: o wow one can do all that too?
ben_vulpes: handy, this public record.
ben_vulpes: frequently deservedly, but nevertheless.
ben_vulpes: leastaways i've yet to see that work out for anyone. more often than not hiring leadership is a cover for the sharks to move in and kick founding teams out.
ben_vulpes: also, one does not *hire* leadership.
ben_vulpes: <thestringpuller> instead he says, "You people don't know how this works" in reference to criticism of his poor decision making process. << thestringpuller clearly doesn't understand how the world works
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> It would be interesting if a large portion of humanity couldn't make it to the year 300 because even the corn became diabetic. << counting from what now?
ben_vulpes: "get out in front of this" << what, get in front of the train?
ben_vulpes: ;;ident
ben_vulpes: it's nigh impossible to get any seeed on the public w4r3znet these days
ben_vulpes: but hey this donovan character's pretty amusing
ben_vulpes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Donovan#Blood-Brotherhood_and_Other_Rites_of_Male_Alliance << i suspect the shartup circus is driven in no small part by young guys seeking blood rites or a war of the small band against the world. a hilarious quest for "honorable" victories.
ben_vulpes: it's in the logs somewhere
ben_vulpes: farming and fighting
ben_vulpes: <mats> a clever manager and the same budget could fund a brigade of farmer warriors indefinitely << you're starting to sound like undata
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> or the hell where you're responsible for (and are the only available set of hands) for a missing magic ingredient in six different angry kitchens << lol asciilifeform is the guy who shows up to work to push the right button
ben_vulpes: pretty low dough thing to scam over.
ben_vulpes: "We find that regions exhibiting more diverse mobility fluxes, earlier diurnal rhythms, and more correct grammatical styles display lower unemployment rates."
ben_vulpes: all this durm and strang around confirming the patchset can catch up
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla claims otherwise, i never confirmed his unwedging.
ben_vulpes: ryanxcharles: come on buddhi be a buddhi
ben_vulpes: the ecmaboi's back!
ben_vulpes: first, in choice of career.
ben_vulpes: some say the sapper errs twice
ben_vulpes: ;;rate mats 1 first best grandest sapper of la serenissima
ben_vulpes: ;;everify freenode:#bitcoin-otc:0e038a622e6f3b912336a9eae37bf66a22cf0397410a29f5a410e5d9
ben_vulpes: ;;eauth ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: ah get fucked gribble
ben_vulpes: ;;rate mats 1 first best grandest sapper of la serenissima
ben_vulpes: well you're here now.
ben_vulpes: what enemy lol
ben_vulpes: mike_c: we're masters of the bezzletronic arts of quality app authorship
ben_vulpes: <mike_c> kakobrekla: someone told me recently I should hire slovenians to build a mobile app for me. do you know anyone in that industry in your neck of the woods? << perhaps consider my humble app factory
ben_vulpes: he's a sapper though. implicitly - err'd once.
ben_vulpes: hah you don't say
ben_vulpes: this, from the infantryman.
ben_vulpes: king of this continent isn't worth the piss in my urethra much less the fruit of my loins.
ben_vulpes: i'll be satisfied to slave for mars building agile jet-ruiners and ghetto turrets
ben_vulpes: i've given up on rockets.
ben_vulpes: just to loop CATO videos
ben_vulpes fired up the 52" tv on loan from a client today
ben_vulpes: rockets at least - either go into orbit or not.
ben_vulpes: a) their ask is too high and b) they don't sell legitimacy.
ben_vulpes: roundaboutly saying that one can't buy legitimacy from the entrenched idiots.
ben_vulpes: rockets are ~9.
ben_vulpes: <mats> afaik the cost of serious physics research runs well into nine digits << if not twelve.
ben_vulpes: "coward's trip" when i was a teen.
ben_vulpes: see also: salvia
ben_vulpes: <danielpbarron> heh, i've robotripped a few times << danielpbarron you are delightfully eccentric
ben_vulpes: <fluffypony> that particular one is a payment processor << what happened to the mining rig rack fab operating out of africa?
ben_vulpes: <fluffypony> I guess he didn't like being called idiotic: https://twitter.com/fluffyponyza/status/542109944901009408 << love how you're leaning into your own profile pic
ben_vulpes: bring in the social justice police, this society is out of hand
ben_vulpes: herr mircea cannot handle
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am struck by thoughts of jabba
ben_vulpes: write everything in php!
ben_vulpes: an unfeeling, joy-crushing monster.
ben_vulpes: you're supposed to be a moster.
ben_vulpes: he loves!
ben_vulpes: my world is shaken
ben_vulpes: and a poor one at that.
ben_vulpes: i am but a mere engineer.
ben_vulpes: those of us who think it not, kindly invited to pleb elsewhere i gather.
ben_vulpes: "build me a space elevator from materials available today."
