ben_vulpes: i believe that you have a term for this degradation of the industrial toolchain, asciilifeform, but it escapes me at the moment.

ben_vulpes: lead time was nearly a month back then.

ben_vulpes: it was a glorious time at the intersection of the autorefractor and the custom plastics.

ben_vulpes: this, afaik, is not available anymore.

ben_vulpes: once upon a time my contacts were made to order.

ben_vulpes: i miss this terribly.

ben_vulpes: (particularly important when the astigmatism severely degrades views through anywhere but the lens center)

ben_vulpes: eyes move, not head

ben_vulpes: full field of vision

ben_vulpes: oh let's see

ben_vulpes: so - i use the 1920x1200's in horizontal orientation, slapping 3 buffers sideways.

ben_vulpes: plus, astigmatism.

ben_vulpes: i can't use contacts while programming as my prescription is way out in the tail of the distribution, where the spacing between contact fabrication points squarely frames my actual needs.

ben_vulpes: i can't use very tall monitors, as i bought these glasses in high school and they have an extremely narrow field of vision.

ben_vulpes: a hilarious thing about my monitor selections

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why is 1200x1920 so abhorrent?

ben_vulpes: cazalla: i'm casually observing lady v browse etsy et al for moar home furnishings (just set her up with the budget for a kilim rug), saw rabbit fur flash across the screen, thought of your habits.

ben_vulpes is out of his depth...again.

ben_vulpes: we are planning to buy the year's rent in a lump sum

ben_vulpes: lol wd

ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform subject of monitors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JN9310/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s03?ie=UTF8 << excellent vertical orientation displays

ben_vulpes: monitors and desks are certainly on the list.

ben_vulpes: as i said this afternoon "too much money to put to use in our own business, not enough to get into any others".

ben_vulpes: can't quite swing apartments this year.

ben_vulpes: i struggle with the flipside of the debt thing - what to do with the retained earnings? go long the stock market? really? i'm bullish on btc on like a 30 year timeframe so that has to have next to no bearing on the 1-2 year timeframe for handling retained earnings right now. give up the 8% or w/e the market's doing under QE or hold it all in cash because "it can't go on like this forever!11!"

ben_vulpes: (the girls of my generation, i mean.)

ben_vulpes: but they never got paid to begin with. pay cuts tho?

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm familiar with the females of my age group couch surfing, living on gov't grants, waitressing, staying up late chain smoking over the odd "piece".

ben_vulpes: how'd they eat?

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "25% salary cuts every 2-3 months" << this is a thing?

ben_vulpes: myeah.

ben_vulpes: at this rate i'm going to have to learn romanian

ben_vulpes: although the acronym puns are probably going to be hard

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/cererea-de-suspendare-a-pre%C8%99edintelui-traian-basescu-sau-cu-caragiale-tot-inainte/ << i nominate for translation queue based on link title alone

ben_vulpes: "the" otc guy?

ben_vulpes: *clack clunk*

ben_vulpes: i think the question that i'm asking is: is an embedded db even a good idea?

ben_vulpes: yeah i figured

ben_vulpes: http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/ << really? this is it?

ben_vulpes: http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/419/ << sigh

ben_vulpes: is that really all of them?

ben_vulpes: jurov: "the nakamoto institute" was working on an archive of the satoshi letters at one point. i don't know if they got anywhere with it.

ben_vulpes: (but that's neither here nor there)

ben_vulpes: also key value stores make me barf

ben_vulpes: but y'all know more than i on the topic.

ben_vulpes: the thought that writing to disk requires explicit concurrency semantics (DB_CONFIG requiring lock numbers configured by trial-and-error) in c++ with bdb etc (would this be true of sqlite as well?) makes me think that talking to a professionally written database over a local socket wouldn't be such a bad idea.

ben_vulpes: heh

ben_vulpes: what parts need to fit in head?

ben_vulpes: bitcoin is serious business - perhaps a serious business database should be involved.

ben_vulpes: "since it is file based, it requires no separate database setup for users" << i don't know about this.

ben_vulpes: why is it a better idea for bitcoin to write the blockchain to disk instead of into an external database?

ben_vulpes: but this is systems science in <not my domain>
