shinohai: I'm gonna give those a go today on the server, it's idle since I got latest patched.
jurov: oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig
trinque: jurov: k
jurov: ml currently passes all attachments regardless when there is valid clearsigned text but it may not always the case
mod6: <+jurov> oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig << for V to work properly the sigfiles (seals) need to be named the same as the vpatch filename with a .sig on the end. is that what you're saying?
jurov: not it is not related to v
jurov: it is how ml prosesses attachments
jurov: *processes
mod6: i.e.: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch && asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig
mod6: that's how they need to be
jurov: why the second .asciilifeform ?
jurov: one is .anything , the other one .anything.sig
mod6: so i was wrong above, not just .sig, but <vpatch_name>.vpatch.<wot_id>.sig
jurov: or V requires author's name in the suffix?
assbot: Index of /v/seals ... ( http://bit.ly/1V1TpQn )
jurov: oh my, who designed this?
mod6: that's how they need to be.
mod6: alf
mod6: which, i think is fine because then i can sign that patch and call it: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.mod6.sig
mod6: and then v can differentiate them easily
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
jurov: so imma have a regex like ([^_]+)_.*?\.vpatch\.(.*?)\.sig to find out something to feed to v?
ascii_butugychag: jurov, mod6: i designed the naming convention this way deliberately
ascii_butugychag: the first name (not used by v for anything) is the ~author~
ascii_butugychag: the second - used by the sig checker - is WHO SIGNED
jurov: but it requires PARSING
ascii_butugychag: these, ideally, will NOT always be the same, i keep trying to encourage folks to read and sign MY patches (and that of others)
ascii_butugychag: jurov: theoretically you can avoid using the name prior to .sig, but then you have to check ALL seals agains ALL patches ALWAYS and this is O(N^2)
ascii_butugychag: so go ahead, don't parse, but then enjoy waiting
ascii_butugychag: during every single op.
jurov: is it too late to use some better delimiter to extract the parts?
ascii_butugychag: like what ?
ascii_butugychag: what os are you on that is happy with : in paths ? vms ?
ascii_butugychag: what the hell is wrong with . ?
jurov: authorname:patchname:signername.vpatch.sig
jurov: then use dot after authorname, too
ascii_butugychag: but... why??
jurov: it is relevant for ml
ascii_butugychag: why not FIX THE ML
ascii_butugychag: instead of breaking v.
jurov: also, what if someone has a nick with _ ?
jurov: like mircea_popescu
ascii_butugychag: that makes no difference
ascii_butugychag: the author name is for human eyes only
ascii_butugychag: only the signer-name is machine-parsed
jurov: yes? how do i extract author and patchname?
ascii_butugychag: why do you need to ?
ascii_butugychag: recall how mircea_popescu argued that it makes no sense to mechanically distinguish between author and signers?
jurov: you say noone will ever need to?
ascii_butugychag: the correct way to do this is for the first seal to be deedbotted to produce the attribution of the author.
ascii_butugychag: rather than magicks in the filenamez.
ascii_butugychag: protocol vs promise (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: if i want to represent alf's signature as "asciilifeform", "ascii_butugychag" or more or just a subset, it should be up to me.
jurov: and how does ml match signarute to vpatch?
mircea_popescu: same fingerprint no ?
ascii_butugychag: using the .name.sig convention
jurov: someonse sends 3 patches with 3 sigs, I either have to get the match with gnarly regext above
mircea_popescu: didn't you just contradict yourself ?
ascii_butugychag: and realize that we can set all the filenames to 'fuckyou' and v will still work
jurov: or try to match each vs. each
ascii_butugychag: correctly
ascii_butugychag: just, slowly
jurov: why v can't require strict naming?
ascii_butugychag: why must it ?
ascii_butugychag: why tie to filesystem oddities that may go away when we get a sane os ?
jurov: to not need O(N^2) sig verificaiton
jurov: how will sane os solve this?
ascii_butugychag: jurov: it doesn't need even now. what is your problem with patchname.signer.sig ?
ascii_butugychag: i could even see the argument that 'signer' oughta be a gpg fp
jurov: because i need to match it to patchname.vpatch
ascii_butugychag: it matches trivially!
jurov: no it maps to patchname.vpatch.<unknown>.sig
ascii_butugychag: patchname in 'patchname.vpatch' must equal patchname in patchname.signer.sig
ascii_butugychag: jurov: holy shit, why ??
jurov: how?
ascii_butugychag: v - works.
ascii_butugychag: mine works, mod6's works, possibly ben_vulpes's also works.
jurov: v works because it has prearranged files, wot keys
ascii_butugychag: and now jurov has something that does not ? so fix ~it~ plox ?
ascii_butugychag: prearranged, aha. what's wrong with that ?
jurov: i just have some random bunch of name.vpatvh and somethingother.sig someone sends by email
ascii_butugychag: if you want the filenames to be garbage, you will have O(N^2) evaluation.
ascii_butugychag: there is no way around this.
ascii_butugychag: and i don't see why permit garbage.
jurov: i want filename.vpatch that i can just take and slap .sig in the end of it to find a signature
ascii_butugychag: because it will end up trying to overwrite every OTHER sig
jurov: but this is Not Possible, now I have to parse the patchname out, and use that to look for sigs
ascii_butugychag: more than one person signs a patch
ascii_butugychag: i wrote v the way i did so that ALL patches and ALL seals can coexist on my disk and it be HUMAN-obvious which belong to whom and what.
jurov: ok, why can't the .vpatch and author fields swap?
ascii_butugychag: give example of the result ?
ascii_butugychag: let's start with 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.vpatch.mod6.sig'
jurov: bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig
ascii_butugychag: what will this be under new convention ?
jurov: also, what the 1 left over after splitting by '.' does there?
jurov: it would be 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.mod6.vpatch.sig'
ascii_butugychag: how does this help anything ?
ascii_butugychag: that .mod6. does not belong in the vpatch name
ascii_butugychag: it relates ONLY to the seal
jurov: so?
ascii_butugychag: so i don't see what the point is of this change
ascii_butugychag: it breaks everybody's 'v'
ascii_butugychag: to what end ?
jurov: instead of *.vpatch.*.sig you have *.vpatch.sig filenames which are a bit easier to work with
ascii_butugychag: the .asciilifeform.sig IMMEDIATELY tells you that asciilifeform signed the thing before the .
ascii_butugychag: what the fuck is the point of garbling it ?
ascii_butugychag: easier for WHAT ?
jurov: eh nm
PeterL: should have patch.vpatch and patch.vpatch.SIGNER1.sig and patch.vpatch.SIGNER2.sig ?
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: this is the EXISTING convention, yes
ascii_butugychag: which happens to be sane.
PeterL: ok, makes sense to me, why change it?
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: idk, but jurov had some reason, which i still don't fully grasp
jurov: nevermind, i said, i did not though to be som paramount
jurov: only the question what is the '1' in bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig doing there
ascii_butugychag: actually in that case i've no idea, iirc mod6 put it there
mod6: a long time ago. we had a different convention.
mod6: and now its written in stone.
ascii_butugychag: the fortunate thing is that it is NOT
ascii_butugychag: v will run if you rename the patch to 'fuckyou' and the sig to 'fuckapig'
ascii_butugychag: (or rather, a slightly improved 'v' will run, existing one requires patch name to remain same)
ascii_butugychag: but then you get O(N^2), yes.
jurov: so if there is a RFC someday you're against specifying filename convention?
ascii_butugychag: let me say why.
ascii_butugychag: the O(N^2) instrinsic runtime of unknown-patch-bag+unknown-sig-bag is something i realized from the start
ascii_butugychag: and i don't see it as a serious boojum
ascii_butugychag: because i don't believe that any project has any business cancerously growing patches until this turns into a serious boojum.
ascii_butugychag: after a certain point, there oughta be a new genesis.
mod6: any way the real sig name is currently "bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.vpatch.mod6.sig" not <+jurov> only the question what is the '1' in bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig doing there
ascii_butugychag: nothing lives forever.
ascii_butugychag: the other thing i oughta mention is that imho a core principle of v-ism is that it is impermissible for trust to be implicitly delegated.
ascii_butugychag: this means that at no point do ~i~ get to do less verification ~because of something the mirror host does~ - e.g., verify mailed in patches
ascii_butugychag: i have to do THE SAME amount of verification work.
ascii_butugychag: or we're using shithub, not v.
ascii_butugychag: this means that if jurov's box has to verify my patch against every known sig every single time it presses to post to www, SO SHOULD MINE
ascii_butugychag: does this make sense ?
ascii_butugychag: no implicit delegations.
ascii_butugychag: in EXACTLY same way as my trb node does THE SAME amount of number crunching whether it hears a block from gavin's node or from mircea_popescu's.
jurov: what??? i said nothing bout delegations
ascii_butugychag: jurov: this is separate, mostly
ascii_butugychag: but you also gotta consider what your box will do if it gets an inappropriately (for whatever reason) named patch.
ascii_butugychag: what i say is that REGARDLESS of the names, if THE CRYPTO is valid, it is a VALID patch/seal tuple.
ascii_butugychag: for all time.
jurov: it will publish and otherwise ignore it, I will tell everyone to add it to their v repository by hand.
jurov: (if anyone asks)

jurov: i don't see ml as any authoritative source, nor it can't be
jurov: that does not mean it can't be tidy
mod6: so what are we trying to achieve here?
mod6: its a good start to just not mangle the filenames -- thats all set now right?
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
jurov: mod6 if it can validate a signature (by name, NOT by scanning all files), it will add to its v mirror
jurov: that's all
mod6: jurov: oh ok, you were gonna have the ML dump the vpatch & seal out to a second mirror?
ascii_butugychag: incidentally
ascii_butugychag: since folks are contemplating 'ideal v'
jurov: what does "seal out" mean?
ascii_butugychag: has anyone a position on whether patches oughta be broken into atoms ?
ascii_butugychag: that is, individual 'patchons' ?
mircea_popescu: jurov dump (the vpatch & seal) out to
jurov: oh that, yes
ascii_butugychag: (the objects where ---whatever, HASH +++whatever, HASH)
mircea_popescu: we'll end up with bitcoin-lispassets.
mod6: ascii_butugychag: you mean, atoms in the sense of vpatches only for individual source files touched?
ascii_butugychag: well if you think about it, the way we have it now is actually more complicated
ascii_butugychag: in that things that have no business being glued together, ARE
ascii_butugychag: from sheer historical accident
ascii_butugychag: mod6: correct
mod6: we could do it that way, it /may/ make things easier in the sense of V -- we've been doing it the way we are to keep the patch count low iirc.
ascii_butugychag: mod6: correct. and to save wear on our trigger fingers
ascii_butugychag: but it may lead us to tears later.
jurov: and why?
ascii_butugychag: i will leave the 'why' as an exercise. largely because this is not a pressing issue.
jurov: i see it as going back to RCS , no idea otherwise
jurov: iirc it tracked changes per one file only
assbot: RCS - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation ... ( http://bit.ly/1PBtuuC )

mircea_popescu: should i break down and try to rfc this ?
ascii_butugychag: because it is not built for comfort. just as t-34 tank was not.
ascii_butugychag: or how kalash buttstock is not built to be a dildo.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: sounds splendid
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-01-2016#1375228 << what's your idea of that certain point ? 1k ? 10k ? 1mn ?
assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 15:59:27; ascii_butugychag: after a certain point, there oughta be a new genesis.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: 'when epoch ends'
ascii_butugychag: it isn't a numeric thing
mircea_popescu: seems on some very rudimentary testing and evaluation that the compile would still take longer than the gathering of patches with ~1mn ish of them around
ascii_butugychag: and it parallelizes.
mircea_popescu: but this is not a matter to be handwaved.
jurov: i did not say anything about comfort, either. how do you propose bundling the patch spanning several files where hunks don't make sense individually?
mircea_popescu: for the following reason : v adoption will induce a major shift in how software is treated,
mircea_popescu: and your guess depends on how people software as a much lower node on that tree.
mircea_popescu: people will NOT WANT to genesis an old and famous tree.
ascii_butugychag: why not ?
punkman: ascii_butugychag: that is, individual 'patchons' ? << darcs does some of that automatically
mircea_popescu: for the same reason louis xvth pretended he comes from the fucking sun
ascii_butugychag: one would think that an old and famous tree woudl end up perma-pressed at some point
mircea_popescu: by whom ?
ascii_butugychag: just like every kid who wants to doodle in the margins of newton's principia starts with ~the same~ edition thereof
mircea_popescu: need i remind you the lulz of x.org recently lost ?
ascii_butugychag: rather than a randomly selected one of 100 newton-era drafts
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: wai wut??
mircea_popescu: you can't get those people in a room together to sign a new genesis.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag x lost its only asset because people couldn't agree to sit down and extend it.
mircea_popescu: don't laugh, it's a necessary consequence.

mircea_popescu: consider this scenario : bitcoin in 2020. mod6 has meanwhile gone hunting seals on the artic circle. you live in a remote mining colony up on the fucking moon.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do we "re-genesis" the bitcoin ?
ascii_butugychag: that's the job of whoever thinks it needs another million patches, no?
mircea_popescu: this is not reason.
mircea_popescu: the only saving grace i see here is that it doesn't HAVE to be n^2
mircea_popescu: it can also be n, if you just use the right fucking names.
ascii_butugychag: as i wrote it, aha.
mircea_popescu: but let us be considerate to the progeny.
ascii_butugychag: i very clearly spelled this out, when first published it.
mircea_popescu: i think we've seen enough of the pitfals of disconsidering progeny in satoshi's work.
mod6: amen
mircea_popescu: "The basic formatting conventions for RFCs were established in the 1970s by the original RFC Editor, Jon Postel."

mircea_popescu: fucking shit before you do anything you gotta dry some land first.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, importing cmos.
mircea_popescu: "The RFC Editor generally follows these accepted rules as defined by the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) [CMOS], with a few important exceptions to avoid ambiguity in complex technical prose and to handle mixtures of text and computer languages, or to preserve historical formatting rules." << kids, this is how not to code.
PeterL: we need our own RFC format?
mircea_popescu: tel lyou what, i'ma make it a v instead, fuck this stupid shit.

ascii_butugychag: build yottahash plant, etc.
mircea_popescu: that it has no money and no engineers.
mircea_popescu: why does it keep losing in the east when it could have "leveraged" it's "best army in the world" bahamas has in rthe books ?
ascii_butugychag: it has plenty of each, but they are not on 'gs' civil service ladder.

mircea_popescu: why didn't 1910 china mobilize the infinity army it had and beat the english ?
ascii_butugychag: because they wanted american pants.
mircea_popescu: you recall the story of the palace fire when that castrato ascended ?
ascii_butugychag: there is not a meta-america whose pants these engineers want to put on.
ascii_butugychag: that is sorta the whole of it.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: pu yi ? aha
mircea_popescu: not even close. it's just what you want to believe so as not to wake screaming from your sleep.
ascii_butugychag: hey i already wake up screaming
ascii_butugychag: so i would readily believe it if i had any reason to think it true
ascii_butugychag: what, i'll scream twice ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i'm going to do here is : write a trilema article titled The V Manual Genesis or something, which will discuss but also contain a genesis for something called v-manual
mircea_popescu: is that a good name for it ? kinda confusing as fuck
mircea_popescu: i guess in time the convention that x-manual holds the manual will resolve this.

ascii_butugychag: incidentally
ascii_butugychag: i see no reason why mailing lists ought not be vtronic
mircea_popescu: but ima put it first as an article so we don't end up needing a ton of small fixes signed
ascii_butugychag: the ultimate historic annals.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag this is going towards "animated programs", where instead of looking at a program as a[n ultimately] bitmap you instead look at it as a gif, with layers coming on top of each other.
mircea_popescu: makes your "fits on page" thing much more of an issue. "all programs must fit within so and so viewport"
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: machine only runs a flattened (pressed) item anyway
ascii_butugychag: that is the part that 'oughta fit'
mircea_popescu: anyway, a large part of trying to make a manual is that fuck me, we barely even understand what we're doing.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag yes, but reading code is reading code.
ascii_butugychag: reading history - is an art
ascii_butugychag: at any rate, the large part of what i see as needing a manual, is the ~why~ of v
ascii_butugychag: rather than the 'how', which is bound up in a particular implementation and probably best learned from ~reading its src~

ascii_butugychag: the 'talmudic' view (of which my summary is by no means an expert one) is that the margin notes are like a map of a mine field
ascii_butugychag: yes, the only CONCLUSIVE guide to the mine field is... the ~blam~

danielpbarron: heh that means V could grow to the size of planet earth
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: It's build on a generic thing forked and genericized from evangelical group refugees. Influenced heavily by William James. WHo would have though studying "Classic American Philosophy" would have been useful for understanding anything.

ben_vulpes: (also 'dark age blood sports' lol)
BingoBoingo: "Classic American Philosophy" consists of Peirce who was cotemporaneous with James and did some interesting logic stuff. James who wrote the best American rebuttal to Hegel. Dewey who ruined everyhting with socialism.
assbot: Socially-conscious investing gets a boost from the DOL fiduciary rule ... ( http://bit.ly/1RPFWgU )
BingoBoingo: Then there's the black American philosophers who were largely discarded by socialists and comoonity organizers.
mircea_popescu: ironically enough, nobody is such an enemy of black achievement as the political party using color as a lever on the public treasury.
BingoBoingo: Seriously lots of great stuff from Black American philosphers until About 1890
BingoBoingo: America's chance of having a philosophical tradition though died between 1910 and 1920 when James died, Dewey was lionized, and everyone treated James as fringe religious thinker and not rebuttal of the Hegelian.
mircea_popescu: dewey of all people.

mircea_popescu: yes yes.

BingoBoingo: view of the world which make infinity and continuity to be its sessence, and that pessimistic or optimistic attitudes pertain to the mere accidental subjectivity of the moment; finally, that the identification of contradictories, so far from being the self-developing process which Hegel supposes, is really a self-consuming process, passing from the less to the more abstract, and terminating either in a laugh at the ultimate nothi

ascii_butugychag: and SATAN HELP YOU if you have clang on your machine
ascii_butugychag: it will INSIST on using it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i recall the "currently only bitcoinica and blabla" expert opinions of years past. anyone old enough to remember shtylman, the genius-boy-expert with a funny hat of 2013 ?
mircea_popescu: the one that was going to save us through his boyish good looks and vctron smarts ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think that was maye 2012
mircea_popescu: was it ?
mircea_popescu: perhaps it was huh.
BingoBoingo: yeah, 2013 I would have seen it
mircea_popescu: epic interview, i think the last one too, on the tv show of that guy with the camera in demo mode
mircea_popescu: bruce fagwith or what was his name.
ascii_butugychag: i am only speaking of this here because it turns out to be a PERFECT example of poetteringization
ascii_butugychag: encountered by surprise in something i rely on every day
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag and i only don't say anything because i'm rahter unsurprised.

ascii_butugychag: bubonic derplague in full bloom !!
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag guy seems willing to accomodate tho
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Interested in doing a rant for Qntra on the "code of conduct" phenomenon and poetteringization?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: aha, he will put in my individual custom include paths, sure thing
mircea_popescu: seems there's a -std= added for instance
ascii_butugychag: THIS IS TO BE READ FROM THE MOTHERFUCKING MAKEFILE
mircea_popescu: and they end up adding -include ?
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
ascii_butugychag: i develop for 5 different cpus.

mircea_popescu: what's rust again ?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: you know this fella?
BingoBoingo: Rust is Mozilla's "systems programming" language
mircea_popescu: "And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could have communicated better — remember that it’s your responsibility to make your fellow Flycheck people comfortable."
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha holy shit.
ascii_butugychag: what i want to know is how this became a standard
mircea_popescu: flycheck is hereby banned from anywhere
mircea_popescu: don't fucking include it, i will negrate you.
ascii_butugychag: and emacs was allowed to decay to the point where the tool that ACTUALLY FUCKING WORKS AND IS 100 LINES AND NEVER EVER BREAKS is now broken
ascii_butugychag: i spent all day trying to get this piece of not-even-qualified-to-be-shit to run
ascii_butugychag: then realized that it is ~intrinsically~ unusable for any serious project
mircea_popescu: foofoos an feefees are the responsibility of the foofoo-feefeer and his alone what the fuck already.
ascii_butugychag: then realized that the motherfucker prolly gets away with this because.. makefiles are 'out of fashion' !
ascii_butugychag: one is, i suspect, supposed to use some proprietary build system, such as crapple's
ascii_butugychag: unless you're a terrorist.
mircea_popescu: i wish to know what other definition for immaturity can be had, than a subjective expectations of others to accommodate your feelings.

ascii_butugychag: and if your street is not on this list, shuddup and die.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i fully expect this is where us car production is headed.
mircea_popescu: "you don't buy a car - you merely acquire the right to transport yourself according to the tos etc".
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: aha. this is only not yet achieved for purely technical reasons.

mircea_popescu: jurov an undecidable statement is one for which it is not known if an invalidating case exists.
mircea_popescu: if it is known an invalidating case can't exist this implies truth.

ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: holy shit wat??!
ben_vulpes: flycheck?
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: i was asking about ~flymake~
ascii_butugychag: y'know, the thing that people actually use
ascii_butugychag: and is built into emacs
ascii_butugychag: not the heathen 'alternative'
ben_vulpes: no idear
ascii_butugychag: how the fuq do you even program
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag if you ask it, flymake also built into emacs 25.
mircea_popescu: uh i mean flycheck
ascii_butugychag: but it appears to be broken on crapple os 10.10 and above.
ascii_butugychag: flycheck is built into nothing.
ascii_butugychag: rms did not accept it into emacs tree.
assbot: EmacsWiki: Flycheck ... ( http://bit.ly/1JdrHQ1 )
ascii_butugychag: victim^H^H^H^H^user has to install.

ascii_butugychag: perpetrator's site.
ben_vulpes: lol mircea_popescu is using a box with ready access to emacs 25?!
ascii_butugychag: ~flymake~ comes with emacs.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> uh i mean flycheck
ascii_butugychag: flycheck does not come with emacs and probably will not until rms dies.
ascii_butugychag: (at which point it will likely be renamed poetteringmacs and ~will~ ship with flycheck.)
ben_vulpes: i'm not arguing that
mircea_popescu: "Since this library is in Emacs 25, contributors must have signed the Emacs Copyright assignment." << had remanence from seq-el.
mircea_popescu: a sequella so to speak
ascii_butugychag: MODERN lists !
ascii_butugychag: sequences !
ascii_butugychag: when do we get MODERN!!1111111 arithmetic!?
mircea_popescu: from DoL soon enough.
ben_vulpes: department of lolz
ascii_butugychag: wanna know the funny part ?
mircea_popescu: department of lolz and your increased 50g pbj rations.
ascii_butugychag: i ASKED FOR this machine.
ascii_butugychag: because the alternative, the only alternative, was... well, the last machine
mircea_popescu: alf should star in a modern married with children, "i work on computers for a living"
ascii_butugychag: where it took me months to sort-of set things up, and wrangle gentoo, and still ended up with not-quite-working video etc
ascii_butugychag: and no suspend mode
mircea_popescu: "and it's not as bad as you think"
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: unfortunately i don't get the reference
mircea_popescu: there's this sitcom about a guy with an idle wife.
ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: this is what you get for trying to do s33r1ous wurk! on a portable
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: there is no escape from portable.
ben_vulpes: dirigible!
mircea_popescu: really strong friend ?
ben_vulpes: and i suppose broomstick.
ascii_butugychag: only broomstick.
ascii_butugychag: or nagant, i suppose.
ben_vulpes: no but why must you have the computing device with you?
mircea_popescu: my bitchez can benchpress me! get some to carry your desktop!!1
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: to ever get to work remotely ?
ben_vulpes: is this for the /chance/ to do so or the /promise/ to do so?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag can't you just mount a proper computer somehwere and...uhh... ssh into it ? or i guess telnet lol.
ben_vulpes: if chance, it's a poor gamble. if it's a promise, why can't they buy a box for your haus?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: doesn't work so great with multiple gigantic displays
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag yes, it does. let me do some math for you.
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: korporate kulture
mircea_popescu: one hour of employee time, admitting you get paid $100, costs your employer ~250 or so.
mircea_popescu: the choice between whipping up ten desktops in fixed positions and having you spend a week dicking around with shittops should be obvious,
mircea_popescu: to the accountants if no one else.
ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: did not answer the question.

ben_vulpes: not doing dumb shit!
ben_vulpes: actually talking to managers
mircea_popescu: "doc, it hurts if i do this!"
ben_vulpes: dude programmers in america are the most spoiled group in terms of bennies and tolerance of absurd work behavior and yet you insist that you must conf0rm!
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: i'm not a programmer.
mircea_popescu: not even whores.

ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: no, i meant literally, i work as something somewhat else
ben_vulpes: i am asking what precisely that is in your bosses eyes
ben_vulpes: because if you put it to writing it is going to read as "programmer"
mod6: "unprogrammer"
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: boss thinks i'm a... mathematician
mircea_popescu: he works for something that requires computers but is not a computerist thing! alf is that fabulous creature from ro folklore, "half man riding half a limp rabbit"
ascii_butugychag: tax declaration reads 'sr research engineer' (what this means, nobody knows)
trinque: and "fuck you I wont work on this shit" passes for a guy moving rectangles around in a web browser.
mircea_popescu: only gets one half at a time of all things. depending on context, the one or the other half.

ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: recall the thread (i am having trouble digging it up) where i explained why just about nobody in usaschwitz gets to be 100% remote ?
ascii_butugychag: (it is, really, to keep people from 'infidelity', collecting multiple salaries)
ascii_butugychag: also to keep'em from taking their bezzle and turning it into turkeys in paraguay
ascii_butugychag: we did this thread. where is it?!
mircea_popescu: doesn't matter, ima keep pushing!
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, your local mains power company will also shit bricks if you have serious inductive loads in your house (shifts phase, interferes with their metering)
ascii_butugychag: sort of similar phenomenon
mircea_popescu: they couldn't care less / have nfi what anything is.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should take a pic of the meters for your amusement. they look like they were exported from the su, cca 1930.
ascii_butugychag: at any rate it will look INDISTINGUISHABLE from a bypassed meter and in most countries this leads to 'problemz'
ascii_butugychag: but i can't speak for mircea_popescu's orcs, aha.
mircea_popescu: yes, but in argentina public notary feels not one bit threatened by bypassing vat.
ascii_butugychag: i suspect it's a 'quod licet jovi..' situation
mircea_popescu: moreover, i paid 200 peso (~15 bucks) for 375 KWh burned.
mircea_popescu: this is less than half what it costs even in romania (major exporter)
mircea_popescu: at that price i doubt it's worth their time to even find out.
ascii_butugychag: anyway it was example.
mircea_popescu: yeah, just, happened to be the lulzy.
ascii_butugychag: and holy shit does emacs debugger suck balls.
mircea_popescu: shoulda gone with nano.
mod6: yeah, i used to be basically 100% remote. and it was awesome.
mircea_popescu: way of the future, imo.
mod6: totally. there is absolutely no reason for me to be sitting where i am right now.
mod6: these fuckin lollipops are bouncing up and down on exercise balls.
mircea_popescu: wait. wait what ?!
mod6: how do they expect men in three-piece suits to entertain the idea of bouncing on a fucking ball all day long.
mod6: instead of chairs they give you the option of sitting on a ball. i thought these balls were just for bending girls over on.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Are you sure deedbot- is only ~10 blocks behind? I'm not seeing any of today's deeds on the www
mod6: but apparently not. people sit on these things, and they bounce all day while they "work".
mircea_popescu: also why the fuck do people keep spelling impostor with an e. no latin where they live ?

asciilifeform: they weigh what, 50 gram, and don't vibrate
mircea_popescu: fuck that.
mircea_popescu: you keep to the fucking standard. buncha inept farmhands.
asciilifeform: in all srs i have no idea where that came from
asciilifeform: and why.
asciilifeform: what prevented the ps from being in the normal human place ?
mircea_popescu: why. cuz we had to pretend like every inept colony is populated by like humans and shit.
asciilifeform: who even makes a pc case locally
asciilifeform: i don't think i have ever seen one that was not chinese to the hilt
asciilifeform: with the possible exception of my pa-risc and sgi boxen
mircea_popescu: these schmucks.
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking way the azns would have made this thing.
asciilifeform: (the cases of which were solid steel, with tempest mesh - copper, gilded fingers! on all contact interfaces, pure golden toilet)
mircea_popescu: they're not stupidly creative enough.
asciilifeform: i'm surprised your vendor did not also roll his own ps, out of an old soviet shaver or something
mircea_popescu: i did not investigate the matter closely. it's not even impossible.
asciilifeform: (... have you ~looked~ inside the ps!)
asciilifeform: at any rate i will buy a pc made in argentina some time after i buy a ru car.
mircea_popescu: ru cars weren't that bad.
mircea_popescu: and note that i only bought the case
mircea_popescu: i don't buy fucking "pcs".
asciilifeform: that fella who used zaporozhets chassis and toyota engine also 'only bought case'
mircea_popescu kinda liked the old volgas.
asciilifeform: (can you even 'buy pc' any more ?)
mircea_popescu: mostly because crashed one as a 9yo and... nothing happened.
asciilifeform: i'm pretty sure i have the last steel pc chassis here (not counting rackmounts, i do not like them in residential quarters because of the fans)
asciilifeform: will prolly keep using it until dead

ben_vulpes: at least i can update my blog
phf: there "was", there was a standard package (require 'cl) that various parties were trying to kill. stefan monnier spent his emacs maintainer tenure deprecating, and i think succeeded. now you're supposed to use cl-lib, to the point that elisp goes out of the way to not highlight various cl forms
phf: first -> cl-first, defstruct -> cl-defstruct, etc. shitgnomery
ben_vulpes: but that's just because elisp completely lacks namespacing facilities, phf, there couldn't possibly be any sour-grapes malice at work!
phf: of course, what if things clash!! lets break 20 years of code, so that alice m. queerfem is not triggered by symbol clashes
