asciilifeform: ( it also buys the ability to know where in array you are, without 'pointerisms' )
asciilifeform: when i started with adaism, i initially found the preservation of indexing in array-slices annoying. but then saw the wisdom, it whips programmer into having a much firmer grasp of wtf he is doing.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: when you read ch10, you will find that i had to rewrite some of the basic arithm logic, so as to remove dependence on indexing.
asciilifeform: btw no doubt must remain whatsoever re this point in the mind of anyone contemplating switching off the range checks in their build (this buys ~2x 'phree' speedup)
asciilifeform: imho the de-facto convention i proposed is reasonable tho -- if the array is a local creation, and its indexing is known, then to refer to it explicitly is permissible. otherwise, not.
asciilifeform: i took the approach where i built the thing maximally-compactly, and then proceeded in direction of 'now let's make it go in less than geological time'.
diana_coman: heh, talked in parallel there; I know and that's why I did not mention it at all at first; it was just because you asked for as much nitpick as possible, so now it's at least said
asciilifeform: diana_coman: where this appears, it is a concession to 1) speed 2) brevity of code . where the indexing of the array is known, because it is a local buffer, it is referred to explicitly; invocations X'First, X'Last, etc cost measurable cpu, it turned out. but where indexing is not known ( e.g. if operand may be part of a karatsuba ) , there it is unavoidably X'First etc.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, it was rather basic stuff but the fact is that I read Knuth ~10 years ago so refresh was long due
diana_coman: if nitpick at all, the one thing that consistently nags at me (though for which I can't make up my mind as to actual solution) is the implicit reliance on indices to be in fact starting from 1 when copying stuff e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians.kv#L187
asciilifeform: almost always sharp edge is invisible to the orig author, who 'knows where not to run fingers'

mircea_popescu: impossible to fucking evaluate, this. "the resume is getting me interviews [with the sort of people it gets me interviews with ; while not getting me interviews with the sort of people it doesn't get me interviews with. what am i to do ?]".
diana_coman: ah, "good" in the sense of amount
Mocky: the resume gets me interviews. if I wasn't getting interviews I'd worry more about the resume.
diana_coman: Mocky, I'd expect nothing really moves at this time of the year really; but anyway, for my curiosity: what gives then if "good interest" but no job?
Mocky: nicoleci, thx. I get good interest from the resume so I can't blame that. Just gotta keep with the crank winding.

Mocky: mircea_popescu, maybe it will in the morning. I need some sleep
mircea_popescu: Mocky if this may help you take heart, ~everyone's employability is ~epsilon in the us. "jobs" work as alt-welfare conduits, no genuine productivity is present or contemplated.
lobbesbot: Mocky: Sent 4 days, 6 hours, and 41 minutes ago: <hanbot> eulora bot feature request: ability to reject mining claims by type. for instance mining bn costs me moar than merely striking it with a tool; i've gotta sink materials into it, whereas the resulting bn isn't worth the cost of those materials to me atm. 'ignore bn' or somesuch would be really useful.
mircea_popescu: possibly they had nobody who could c
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lol, yet ~another~ war the us lost ? << Well this war is US+Israel, but it seems the only think that was keeping it a war was the US being there.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "firmware" is like the roma capitale of the l-creatives, it's where the best sads live
mircea_popescu: was there a more spurious empire in the history of africa ? i get it, niggers can't compete with humans. but even among the chimps, they're competing ~the wrong end~.
BingoBoingo: And how many other motherfuckers in the building got the call without chasing the pichi away
BingoBoingo: He was sent off without una moneda, because what the fuck
BingoBoingo: In other news, one of the fucking Pichis tried walking a database. This morning I was in the shower when the Porteria Electrica rang. The voice on the other end had a thick accent I couldn't understand, so I offered "un momento", put on clothes, and went to the door of the building...
asciilifeform: ( presumably there's a pair of contacts that gets an uart, haven't found it yet tho, it's a low-priority thread )
asciilifeform: thing has not only debugger, but 'kermit'-compat 'xmodem' shell, in there.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, asciilifeform recently disasmed a raid card fw turd ( of the type found in dulap, s.mg, and several other boxes asciilifeform built ) ; turned out that it's ~little-endian ppc~, which i had nfi even existed; and on top of this, built in ~cpp~, which is also a 1st on my watch in re fwturds
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you suppose keeps the jungle from reclaiming that clearing ? ( do folx with machetes show up erry week, or wat )

trinque: ah, screen's already on there, works fine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Is tmux a thing that makes sense on the shared hosting server?
BingoBoingo: <trinque> http://pizarroisp.net/2018/03/23/pizarro-shared-hosting-a-screaming-deal-for-0003-btcmo/ << also says here you'll provide a weechat << I'll add reading through the old posts to the to do list.
BingoBoingo: I'll put some time into reading up on weechat. The opposition is at the moment I just don't know much about it.
trinque: no tmux on uy1 either though eh?
trinque: what's the opposition to just adding bins with whatever package manager you're using?
BingoBoingo: trinque: I have not set up a Weechat before. If the hosting lacks something weechat needs, I can consult with asciilifeform to remedy that so you can get weechat running. I but I am not familiar enough with weechat to do setups for customers myself at the present time.
mod6: Then can re-evaluate/re-test a bit if it's helpful.
mod6: I'll make some blog posts (eventually) when i go through setting up cuntoo and the musltronic GNAT from ave1.
mod6: Ok, well, maybe this isn't very useful then. But will throw it out here anyway. Good to know
mod6: The one caviat about the timings is that I had to take out some of the inlines and pragmas to make it compile correctly. my GNAT 2015 version seems to have some funkyness to it -- we've actually discussed this before. Wanna just see a wotpaste?
mod6: asciilifeform: congrats btw! I've been attempting very much not to read ahead or anything, I still need to work through the chapters. I did however build all of the latest keccak vpatches in your vtree. I did some timings on my old test blox (core2duo) if you're curious.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
billymg: family is visiting today so won't be around for the rest of the evening though, back online tomorrow

billymg: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-27#1883449 < quick update: using diana_coman's keccak-compatible v.pl, the vpatch i posted before pressed without issue. will write up a blog post with details on the patch, and another post with the patch for the svg file links

BingoBoingo: More on the riot in Malvin. This is what happens when a country likes sports, wants to compete on an elite level regionally, and can only field two teams: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/imm-hara-una-denuncia-penal-por-disturbios-durante-festejo-de-navidad-en-malvin-20181228202844
asciilifeform: ( i.e. sequence where only ADD, SUB, MUL, SHR/SHL, MOV, all the way from head to toe , a,b,c in, a^b mod c comes out )
asciilifeform: the other thing, if one is writing a proggy where only 1 ffawidth is used, it is possible to unroll all of the loops, derecursivize karatsuba, etc. and get straight line of instructions
asciilifeform: diana_coman: sadly i do not know how to 'guarantee perfection'. all i know how to do is to bake maximally 'fits in head' and bank that the folx here will find mistake if it turns out that i made one.
diana_coman: fwiw I like very much that "pedantic" there
asciilifeform: ( hence the somewhat pedantic treatment of the subj, 2 separate proofolade articles. was going for 'measure 7777 times, cut 1ce' there. )
asciilifeform: you may find it interesting that asciilifeform's 1st shot at barrett managed to have a subtly fatal mistake in the proof, and correspondingly a proggy that failed on <0.1% of input space.
diana_coman: that's precisely why the slow pace - I need a bit of fresher mind to get back and read through the rest of ffa
asciilifeform: diana_coman -- will be interesting to see benchmarks from your irons, if you get the chance.
