asciilifeform: the troo tragedy is that idiot orcs have mostly demolished these by nao. even when asciilifeform was a boy, slipping into attics and cellars in those massive blocks of flats, found piles and piles of rubble -- from illicitly-demolished stoves, 'Just Wanted Moar Space in flat' types
mircea_popescu: turns out there was a remarkably good solution, and a bunch of notbad ones.
mircea_popescu: this is why this interests me, "make stove, with 1700s tech, i'll put it in the calorimeter and measure your %"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and if you do a calorimetry experiment you'll see the austrian item converts nigh on 8% more than the swedish system
ben_vulpes: large thermal mass, engineering time spent to ensure complete combustion, sometimes a long horizontal chimney too?
mircea_popescu: and yes many of them are built cross-wall.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is somewhat different item. in the ru variant, the firebox is in the hallway, and the tiled item is smooth/without openings; the chimney is concealed in the wall
mircea_popescu: as it happens a major center was at tirgu secuiesc in ro. apparently still active, they fix and rebuild.

mircea_popescu: aaanyway -- is ben_vulpes going to make himself smoker next, grow rich out of feeding quality breakfast meats to the greater cascadia ?
asciilifeform: it's an item that spans multiple rooms, and the stones ( the walls are stone, not shitwall, necessarily ) retain heat
mircea_popescu: remarkab ly small. i dunno whether it's a work-of-art omfg i can't believe master stovier managed to get the smokes crushed into that space or rather "we dunno what we did". i could guess, but why guess.
mircea_popescu: standard item about 2-3 m3, though it can be made larger (there's a twinning method)
mircea_popescu: (and i am deeply unsurprised the anglotards know not what they talk of. country of whiskey drinkers and so on)
ben_vulpes: fireplace just ain't a worthwhile thing unless you've got the woodpile to keep ti at least smouldering all day, roaring at night, and pretty lasses to keep it stoked. nevertheless, i'll enjoy this one while i have it.

mircea_popescu: anyway, quoted because it's a great example of the ~principle~ of the thing, whereby you don't want fucking fleas, because "government" anointed fleas are no better and no cleanner than random from the street.
mircea_popescu: so amazonaws.com is on the hitler list, and consequently smaller fleas wish to ride atop the back of the great whale flea.

asciilifeform: incidentally http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-17#1752302 is worth expanding on : it is impossible to implement Ada.Command_Line sanely (i.e. without using secondary stack.) the reason is that argv is a potential 'infinity' -- it contains an uncapped number of c-strings of uncapped ( as are all c-strings ) length.

asciilifeform: (i.e. chunks of the language)
mircea_popescu: do these hold at runtime ?
asciilifeform: so then the obvious answer is from the standard, which proclaims that Restrictions(....) can be made to act per-partition (i.e. on libffa , but not the calling prog)

shinohai: Trailer park trailers can't drive away when you make sulfur gas clouds feed into the ventilation system either! :D
shinohai: Actually, lots of SA is looking more "First world" (from my ideal, anyways) than the US lately. The trailer-park culture creep is real here.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tutor mentioned earlier. The dentist by training.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is this the tutor mentioned earlier, or an inpatient gurl
BingoBoingo: Turns out self study and hardware store spanish was insufficient to offer a tremendous fluencey on arrival, so venezualan girl has been retained to speed up the fluency acquisition process.
shinohai: Next time you are in town and they have those .... what do you call fela markets there, ferias? Ask for "Un caldo de pollon muy rico" BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: i still have mine. apparently they work well.
BingoBoingo: In other discoveries... My venezualan spanish teacher is a dentist by training.
mircea_popescu: in case anyone's curious, the 20 bux was for encouraging the folk who made viking age, which is a quite passible browser game. sorta old warcraft style graphically, othertwise a tower defense married to the old bonbon "city development" azn thing.
mircea_popescu: Kev ok, that will do. thank you for your time, there's no intertest at this time.
mircea_popescu: Kev ok, so you're a guy, living in shenzen (where ?), and you'd like to work for the republic.
RagnarDanneskjol: please answer the question still Kev. which is your primary??
Kev: actually Mandarin Cantonese both are similar, for me kind like the difference between American English and British English
mircea_popescu: you can't have two primaries. what did your mother speak ?
RagnarDanneskjol: Kev - Mircea is here if you'd like to talk to him about the translation work and tell him a bit about yourself
BingoBoingo: In other delights: here they have some sort of children's cookie which is notable for not being especialy sweet aside from the white chocolate chips. Back in old country these treats would not be marketable as health food.
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu 2 translator candidates are entering chan shortly and will be on standby here all weekend. One other is coming later. They have been ready - delay was on my end. Their nicks are iangeker, Yan, and Kev - all are on China time, so getting late now. None are GPG'd or anything yet.

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750325 << Sorry I missed this earlier shinohai. They actually are not on every street corner. What's common are real estate agents.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-15#1751825 <- there is the FG banner that is quite obvious; in any case, I'm still hoping there will be a tmsr isp hence the s.nsa shop page back so that I can link to it directly
trinque: oh bother

a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 17:26 phf: asciilifeform: are you using breadboarded/soldered version, or you ended up printing the pcb too for the keyboard controller?
diana_coman: to round up the previous thread: previous patch on mpi remains in place but linked to standalone mpi project; EuCrypt got is own genesis patch that creates *the whole currently known structure*; each chapter comes with its own patch adding content
phf: hmm, there's a bit of complexity there as far as producing files/directories shuffle, which might take longer, but i'll start with paring things down. i haven't yet seen diff/patch sources closely!
mircea_popescu: by the looks of it, sometime in january. that works ?

mircea_popescu: in other news, anyone wanna do a 20bux paypal for me ?
mircea_popescu: but i suppose you're right, a correct v-differ would just follow the extant protocol properly and not have the problem
mircea_popescu: i am in a word proposing to put all the @@ type adnotations in the begining ; and all data at the end
phf: yes, and they won't make a difference!
mircea_popescu: well, because specific headers used to adnotate (@, +, -) can also appear in the text adnotated
