(trilema) 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.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no shit, sherlock.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "it's easier to hard code configuration into the source than read it as configuration at runtime"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "less efficient" << hm?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "it's too hard to do things correctly, so i'm just going to ram my idiocy into the codebase"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: just doesn't relay the transaction?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: instead of the code?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: why not put that in bitcoin.conf, eh?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how exactly do these blacklists work? if a miner processes a transaction with a "banned" address - what then?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: bitcoin on your phone? that's phenomenally retarded.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: tit's a myth i tell you!

(trilema) ben_vulpes: decimation: i may have mis-discovered my history but wasn't the steel behind python largely google before they created "Go"?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i shudder at the mention, but perhaps i'll end up "Go"ing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah how do i roll greenarrays into the thing
(trilema) 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.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the last thing i see happening is me getting excited about using a language for infrastructure automation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i've only been doing this for like 3 years now and i've already learned that languages are a red herring.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: python's basically dead in the water ("which python", to quote alf)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you and mod6 with the perl
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's *great* at immutable infrastructure. you know - "don't mutate, just stand up a new cluster"
(trilema) 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.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i wrote a thing that handles turning standard piles of software into running software on ec2 with docker for environment isolation
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i run (small) clusters for clients.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: may as well invite The Well, PeterL
(trilema) ben_vulpes: once upon a time, computers were such that children could actually reason about them.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ask punkman. nominally some progress was to be made this weekend.
(trilema) 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!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ty fluffypony
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cause derp, obviously
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is anyone aware of interesting hiccups around using bitcoin to send rpc commands to a bitcoin daemon running on a different host?

(trilema) 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?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: o wow one can do all that too?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: handy, this public record.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: frequently deservedly, but nevertheless.
(trilema) 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.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: also, one does not *hire* leadership.
(trilema) 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
(trilema) 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?

(trilema) 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.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's in the logs somewhere
(trilema) ben_vulpes: farming and fighting
(trilema) 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
(trilema) 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

(trilema) ben_vulpes: a) their ask is too high and b) they don't sell legitimacy.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: roundaboutly saying that one can't buy legitimacy from the entrenched idiots.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: but you do, dammit
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what is so damn hard to grasp about this

(trilema) ben_vulpes: download the blockchain torrent style, verify and stitch the segments together as appropriate.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i can't help but think that the serial download is entirely unnecessary.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if i'm reading correctly.
