benkay: BingoBoingo: why some insane algol derivative and not a lisp?
BingoBoingo: benkay: I'm trying to put myself in a position to appreciate the better things when I have the background to leverage them.
benkay: hm
benkay: you wouldn't go learn to do things the wrong way just to hear your sensei tell you to pour out two years of practice, would you?
benkay: BingoBoingo: i strongly recommend you not fill your cup with those idiocies. there is a strong push towards things that are easy, but taking the easy route now sets you up for a whole shitton of unnecessary unlearning later.
benkay: obviously, i don't know anything about anything and my 'advice' on programming matters should be regarded as highly suspect
BingoBoingo: Well, anything is better than Java
benkay: but i gather that you don't actually need to be scripting python, and the cleaner the break with whatever your past is (Java especially), the easier of a time you're going to have wrapping your head around the functional approach.
benkay: once you get into the class-based systems (which Python libraries inevitably drive you to), Python is just Java lacking a few particular flakes of shit.
BingoBoingo: Probably.
fiat500: benkay: sounds like a condemnation of OO/imperative programming in general
benkay: it has its place
benkay: in large corporations where they hire labor.
fiat500: fp is not the most elegant/efficient way to express solutions to every problem
fiat500: i think you are conflating the 'where' with the 'why'
benkay: do go on
fiat500: which of my two statements do you find issue with?
benkay: neither. i don't quite understand your comment about wheres and whys, tho.
benkay: but!
benkay: this is a highly contextual conversation between BingoBoingo and myself, albeit in a public domain.
fiat500: hm, sorry, guess i was missing context then
fiat500: my point was that the size of the corporation (or really more generally, where a problem is being solved) does not have a bearing on the type of problem being solved
fiat500: in the context of fp vs imperative
benkay: sounds like you're assuming BigCorp can select even an approximately appropriate tool for a job.
fiat500: how do you define bigcorp?
benkay: heh
fiat500: are we excluding tech companies from this?
benkay: has mgmt that thinks that sw dev teams of greater than 10 members are an acceptable idea.
benkay: doesn't understand nonlinear comms overhead.
BingoBoingo: Well, generally generic BigCorp wants fungible workers, and they generally use blub as a tool to keep workers fungible.
fiat500: fb fits that description, and fb is really good at using say - haskell - as the right tool for some of their internal analytics
benkay: ya and their deploy strategy is also "compile php to c and torrent it around the internal network"
benkay: so you tell me if that's a mature dev environment.
benkay: there's a whole stack of shit that bothers me about OOP
benkay: first, OOP is designed to get people hammering keyboards as quickly as possible, which is orthogonal to teaching humans how computers actually work.
benkay: the pathological case being the .NET Mort.
fiat500: i think my point is, while fb is rather large, has sw dev teams > 10 members, and uses OOP for many things, they also use fp where it makes sense
benkay: yeah i just can't accept FB as an example of a mature and sustained development environment delivering business value.
benkay: of course they have dev teams > 10
BingoBoingo: I don't think .NET and OOP are equivalently problematic. OOP can be useful in cases. Somethings want to be objects. I mean CLOS is a thing. The problem is what happens once you make an object.
benkay: ya well, brain surgery lasers are great in the hands of brain surgeons
benkay: problem is everyone wants to make tools that make computing 'simpler' 'easier' 'more understandable'
benkay: but all of these layers of abstraction get in between problems and people who can fix them.
fiat500: if you think of objects as just structs with function pointers, its hard to argue that an object is an inappropriate way to represent state in a stateful system
benkay: mrh
benkay: i lean towards the monadic approach these days.
benkay: but what about the insane method inheritance?
benkay: how do I teach someone what the ever loving fuck is going on in a Django project?
benkay: a string has a .split method? give me a break!
benkay: do forgive me
benkay: i'm fresh out of a code retreat with some humans who really grok oop and yet failed to put together class hierarchies to implement the game of life in 45 minutes.
fiat500: not to defend django or python, but a split method is useful enough that it should probably exist somewhere - where would you put it?
benkay: in a library of functions
benkay: that operate on a wide variety of data structures
fiat500: ok, i see what you're getting at here
benkay: i come at this all from a weird non cs perspective, so i'm sure a lot of the conclusions that i've come to are completely bogus.
fiat500: the problem arises where a newer, more efficient implementation is found at some point, and the internal structure of the string must change (consider it getting generalized to a rope, as an extreme and ridiculous example)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13593 @ 0.00087945 = 11.9544 BTC [+] {2}
BingoBoingo: Eh, At least we aren't debating SQL
benkay: in my world, functions take arguments and return values.
fiat500: now this external library of functions must become aware of this change and handle it
benkay: hopefully ones fundamental data structures aren't evolving too quickly
fiat500: well, concrete example
fiat500: NSDictionary in the land of cocoa, changes its internal structure based on its contents
benkay: oh god
fiat500: it switches to a more optimal data structure when its size gets large enough
benkay: this is a pretty common implementation of data structures, right?
ozbot: Array
benkay: yeah that's great
fiat500: not saying its great, just a choice made by the designers, i think it adds a nice variety to the mix
benkay: well to return to the topic of my rant
benkay: when someone sits down to hammer out some OOP, they look at the code surrounding what they need to write, and they copy out stuff that looks like what they've seen and it just works.
BingoBoingo: You know what language really makes sense. TeX
benkay: the OOP dream of the nineties is alive in Py-thon...Py-thon!
fiat500: hahahaha
benkay: but to really understand what's happening they need to understand the class that they're subclassing, what the hell subclassing is, how instances of classes get new-ed the fuck up, all this absurd cognitive overhead
fiat500: versus writing everything from scratch?
fiat500: i think the most egregious example of this is c++, not python
benkay: nah
benkay: vs understanding that functions take input arguments and return values
fiat500: the same values?
BingoBoingo: Eh, C++ is what the first programming classes I'd taken were conducted in.
benkay: given the same inputs you'd have a tough time convincing me there's a good reason not to...
fiat500: BingoBoingo: i mean in the sense that many people who are using c++ don't really understand wtf is going on behind the scenes
BingoBoingo: Before that though I banged away in motorola 68k assembler on the TI-89 and mac
fiat500: benkay: thats a great way to solve some problems, not really great for stateful systems
BingoBoingo: fiat500: Why shouldn't you be ale to change the system as it runs?
benkay: fiat500: there are exceptions.
fiat500: i dont think i said you shouldnt be able to... im saying you should
benkay: fiat500: OOP leads the programmer to encapsulate state in the most insane places possible.
benkay: the b
fiat500: benkay: yeah, not gonna dispute this, i see it all the time, and not just with novices
benkay: all fp does is urge you at a language level to do something sane with your state.
benkay: it's not a panacea
benkay: panacea to the BigCorp software dev problem
benkay: probably never will be, relationship of comms overhead to number of devs on team being what it is.
fiat500: perhaps instead of bigcorp you mean "unsophisticated"
fiat500: i would agree with that
benkay: eh
benkay: it's a metaphor
benkay: exercise for the reader and all that
fiat500: haha
benkay: consider it a shit test for dev ability
benkay: "can you fp? okay. you've got 3 months to demonstrate competence."
fiat500: sounds generous
benkay: it's typically obvious after 2 weeks when they can't.
benkay: point being: oop has layers and layers of absurd needless complexity.
benkay: there are lisps for every platform these days
benkay: but BingoBoingo wouldn't you like your platform to support true parallelized operation eh eh eh?
BingoBoingo: benkay: I would. Maybe.
BingoBoingo: I'd settle for does what it is told,
ozbot: fuckit 1.0.0 : Python Package Index
BingoBoingo: I wouldn't mind a Macintosh SE/30 with less magic smoke than the last one produced.
benkay: next computer i get excited about comes from the asciilifeform labs
BingoBoingo: Probably the same here
benkay: next computer my company actually buys me is a well-designed thing whose default ctags implementation doesn't recurse
benkay: good night sir

knotwork: mining is trickier yeah
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves how is bitcoin related to the web, sweriously
knotwork: run your local fork via sneakernet all year, then put it on santa's plate with his cookies and milk so when he zooms around the world faster than light he picks them all up, maybe even has a copier in his sleigh to copy it so he puts in your stocking all the chaisn from all the kids he visited before you
knotwork: so we'd have one year to two year long forks in progress constantly
knotwork: maybe less if easter bunny and tooth fairy help him
knotwork: or we could use acoustic modems over long distance phone lines but that is so much less elegant, albeit shorter forks. UUCP to the rescue, whee!

mircea_popescu: probably a sort of point to point over wireless is already happening in the major cities

knotwork: ho yeah sure go ahead put Santa out of a job already, fine. :)
knotwork: you can do UUCP over ham radio though sure
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves part of the problem is perhaps that you're confusing the internet and the web
mircea_popescu: irc for instance is not on the web
knotwork: The north pole is probably a big aerial for christmas ham radio anyway as well as a faster than light communicator so Santa can stay in touch with the Ms. wheil delivering prezzies.

asciilifeform: one thing i occasionally try to convince people off is that: the time to invent the parachute is before, rather than after, being thrown out of the plane
asciilifeform: bring back fidonet now.
mircea_popescu: i never knew it went away
knotwork: yeah somewhere between thrown in the deep end to learn to swim and thrown out of an airplane to incentivise inventing a parachute there is a slope of some slipperiness or lack of slipperiness or nasty friction or razor blades or something
knotwork: a gulf or divide maybe
mircea_popescu: anyway, the parachute argument eschews the infinity problem.
mircea_popescu: after you're done throwing an infinite number of people out of the airplane
mircea_popescu: there's an infinite number of people still using the airplane.
asciilifeform: flying Hilbert Hotel?
mircea_popescu: nobody can win the war on concepts, be they purely theoretical like heliocentrism or quite sordid like psychoactives,
knotwork: if there are an infinate number of people in the airplane then relativity maybe should indicate there must also be an infinite number of moments of time?
mircea_popescu: and the airplane throwing thing is a fascinating exercise in impotence.
knotwork: if so maybe we can later after inventing parachute put in an infinite number of parachutes, and even back when we built the first infinite-capacity airplane it would have all those parachutes that will eventually be invented?

zach_: hey i have a question for a mod or someone from bitbet
zach_: does bitbet work with people sending funds from coinbase?
nubbins`: i think some guy got burned doing that a while ago
nubbins`: coinbase cheaped out on the tx fee, guy missed a bet deadline
pankkake: coinbase is known for sending transactions late, too
zach_: na i'm asking because i saw on smoeother betting site that coinbase did not work for sending money to them, something about it sending it back to the same address, just like bitbet does, and there being issues with that
pankkake: but if you're early enough, why not, just be sure to specify an address manually
pankkake: bitbet allows you to have a custom address, it won't necessarily use the sending address
zach_: ok, how do i contact someone from bitbet then
pankkake: you sent it already?
zach_: yup...
zach_: not totally sure but i don't think i specified a different address to receive
pankkake: I don't think you have a way to prove you were that transaction
pankkake: well you can see the out address on the public bet list
mircea_popescu: zach_ as long as you control the destination address, you'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: if however you send in such a way that your transaction doesn't make it before the bet closes, you're screwed.
zach_: if i did not enter an address, it will just get sent back to coinbase correct? does that work are are there problems with that
mircea_popescu: this means, not using shitty services that don't add a fee to txs, and not betting late.
mircea_popescu: if you did not enter an address then coinbase thanks you for your donation.
twizt: lol so many half assed designed services
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 100 @ 0.002904 = 0.2904 BTC [-]
zach_: why would it not just go back to that same coinbase wallet, that is my wallet
twizt: zach_: i think that answer depends on how coinbase is designed...
twizt: anything we say is mere speculation
Jere_Jones: Was the 1B difficulty bet the largest bitbet ever?
mircea_popescu: zach_ because it is likely that coinbase uses some sort of minimal security.
mircea_popescu: this means that it sweeps its btc into a cold wallet, which also means it will be paying from addresses it controls,
zach_: ok so if a bet has not resolved yet is there a way to change the address for it to send payouts
mircea_popescu: not from addresses you contrl.
mircea_popescu: no, there is no way to change addresses it sends payouts to. otherwise everyone would cash in on everyone else's bets.
zach_: i can prove from my coinebase transaction history that the bet in question was sent by me
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones nah, there were > 1k ones
mircea_popescu: course, back then btc was arguably less valuable.
twizt: zach_: i think their cust serv would be the best suited to answer your question
nubbins`: zach_: "prove" in what sense?
mircea_popescu: zach_ then you could i suppose pester them to credit it, when it shows up. in general however you should not be doing this.
nubbins`: a screenshot isn't proof
zach_: no cuz i can show i sent it from my address to the given address it said to place the bet
nubbins`: prove to whom?
mircea_popescu: does coinbase actually allocate addresses to users, like a sort of wallet ?
nubbins`: coinbase or bitbet?
mircea_popescu: i thought it was a btc buying service.
zach_: well now i know
Namworld: Not really. How would you prove you sent that transaction? You can't. A screenshot isn't good enough. I could make a screenshot and edit it 50 times for all amounts and claim all bets as mine.
mircea_popescu: Namworld i assumed they allow him to sign with the address ?
Namworld: Try showing coinbase the transaction out was sent to bitbet and it came back as a winning bet, if it happens you win.
Namworld: Not sure. I don't know how coinbase wallets are designed
twizt: ^^^
twizt: this isnt coinbase' cust service chat lol
mircea_popescu: so the guy can ask. course... always a good idea to ask before rather than after lol
