mircea_popescu: fatlogic. so fat woman isn't going to tell him all he wants ot hear ; this is a skinny chick skill only.
mircea_popescu: somehow the fact that the skinny chick does all the talk the fat chick would gladly do in her stead AND ALSO HITS THE GYM is to escape our notice. because... shallow.
hanbot: That is obsured. You need to open up your eyes if you wish.

ascii_zimbabwe: why the hell would you back up a node ?
trinque: because trb demons not fully enumerated
BingoBoingo: Because paranoia?

BingoBoingo: I have yet to bolt that on.
ascii_zimbabwe: anyway i suppose it's probably time to build that mircea_popescutron.
ascii_zimbabwe: (where failed pipe silently falls back on next pipe, and next, and so on.)
ascii_zimbabwe: i dun have this now only because it doesn't play well with trb.
ascii_zimbabwe: and not, as is not hard to guess, because lacking the pipes.
ascii_zimbabwe: pipes - can be had.
ascii_zimbabwe: popescutrons take actual sweat to build.
ascii_zimbabwe: esp. since i dun use konsoomer - or ciscotronic - net hardware.
ascii_zimbabwe: anyway, laters.

trinque: V asks you which head you'd like to press
trinque: "automatic merging" meanwhile isn't even a thing. that two hunks in a file didn't collide has no bearing on whether they semantically ought to coexist.

mircea_popescu: as seen yesterday
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: gotcha. will simply things. unnecessary complexity indeed
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/from:345/to:345#345 << explain what you mean by "development across branches"
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [08:40:14] <scriba> Logged on 2016-09-07: [10:05:58] <Framedragger> incidentally, how would one go about doing development across branches in V? or is that fiat fancy to be banished from all that is good? :)
shinohai: I thought the purpose of V was to excise git-think from the mind.
mircea_popescu: yes, but ideally without leaving any root. so it's best to fully understand what he wants to do first.
mircea_popescu: "don't go to frat party barefoot, here's a car" is a shitload better than "don't go to frat party barefoot, here's the bus to church"
mircea_popescu: (and ftr : the "faster" angle is a minor concern here. human on foot ought to do ~10-12kph ; there's no guarantee car manages to do half that. meanwhile, the "not cutting your soles to shreds" IS a major concern.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: there is an implied assumption here of a "large enough" codebase (deliberately vague quantifier here). why i'm using it for scriba: 'cause i like it; and the latter's not a great argument. *but* if you have a large enough project with multiple people working on it, then:
mircea_popescu: "i like it" is a great argument.
Framedragger: 1) you may want to retain several versions of the thing you're developing - production, testing environment, development, some-large-feature-im-working-on-thats-currently-breaking-everything
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well... yeah, maybe :)
mircea_popescu: you make special sigs for these cases.
Framedragger: 2) while automatic merges mask deeper problems (as trinque may have implied) and may or may not be cancer, having many developers be able to work on the same codebase and later easily solve code conflicts is fucking *great*
mircea_popescu: yeah. here's the thing :
Framedragger: right. perhaps it's a matter of writing scripts to automate this stuff for V.
mircea_popescu: no, no. listen :
mircea_popescu: V is a publishing mechanism. it allows people to interact that don't know each other. it is very much like bitcoin : to achieve this glorious ends it has some costs.
mircea_popescu: you and your coworker will likely not need, or want to eat the overhead, of keeping track of who owes who coffee via blockchain. also we don'tgive a shit, sort it out yourselves.
Framedragger: (i understand it's not supposed to make any wanna-be-git development easy)
Framedragger: right.
mircea_popescu: so collaboration, inasmuch as it's a private act (your tulpas, your friends, w/e) needn't be on v ; just like it needn't be on github, or on git. lots of code development happens on the holy napkin.
Framedragger: shit, i just got what you're trying to say - i'm slow. it's only a publishing mechanism. how to collaborate internally is another matter. yes, nice separation of concerns. (though i suspect people have thought how to do proper collaboration in V as well - emails with vdiffs etc)
mircea_popescu: all this said : if you are using v, then the correct way to use v for this purpose is, to make multi signatures. there's "his lordship framedragger, of the most serene republic". there can also be "this'll fuck you up".
mircea_popescu: if people want to have a working product, or evaluate your person, they will put the first in their sig files.
mircea_popescu: but if they want to work with you on X, there's nothing to keep them from putting the 2nd in a - presumably - different environment.
mircea_popescu: the advantages of V remain, such as automatic conflict resolution.
mircea_popescu: because it's impossible to write conflicts into V.
Framedragger: right. i *think* i get it. i mean, fair enough. and i should try to publish with it huh.
Framedragger: (multiple sigs, okok.)
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - "conflicts", as a git/github concept are both a) a direct equivalent of doublespends and b) a very convenient and for this reason perhaps deliberate rock under which to hide from responsibility
mircea_popescu: because wener kock's incredibly cheeky "i fucked it all up ha-ha!" is not coming out of the martian spaceship. it's coming out of - hey, we already "solve" conflicts hurr.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger is there a remainder ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you mean in the sense of a logical "third"? i'm not sure. i guess i get it conceptually, re. conflicts; but on a more mundane practical level, conflicts happen because, say, two people implemented some particular thing a bit differently; or their feature touched upon code from another place which was also being worked at; whatever
mircea_popescu: no, in the sense "that's all nice and good, but here's what i still want to do and it's not covered"
Framedragger: i don't see why this necessarily yields some kind of conceptual moral failure or whatever
mircea_popescu: ah, that sort of conflict is to be resolved talmudically : they both review the code, jointly issue a version./
mircea_popescu: it takes a bit more time, but it guarantees a result MUCH better than current.
mircea_popescu: the way i see it is, kids today are like, overexcited.
mircea_popescu: they put in 80% of the effort, scoop out 20% of the ore.
mircea_popescu: dude. add a 10%, get THREE TIMES YOUR CURRENT RESULTS
mircea_popescu: i am willing to bet you that in any case as we imagine ehre, where two competent coders rushed like teenage athletes to stripper cunt and each implemented slighly variant solutions to the same problem,
mircea_popescu: if they put in the extra half hour to write a joint statement of their individual solutions they'd produce code that'd shame gabriel.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean laddel, i mean the other one.
Framedragger: you may be just right; fwiw i have the same inkling feeling, hm
Framedragger: "overengineering minutia and spending cognitive resources on bullshit" - maybe
mircea_popescu is slowly turning into an ancient dragon of the "i hate your kind ; i just don't hate you personally. yet." persuasion.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if it's minutia why are you writing it ?
mircea_popescu: the only definition of minutia acceptable here is "it's in the stdlib dude"
Framedragger: well fwiw i'm not overusing it. i don't subscribe to the "resolve cosmetic conflicts by doing more redundant work" thing, either;and i don't do it
Framedragger: i understand that i'd be more internally..consistent if i just ditched the *whole* thing, however.
mircea_popescu: overusing who ? and what's a cosmetic conflict ?
thestringpuller: ;;seen shinohai
thestringpuller: is gribble not voiced?
shinohai: !~seen shinohai
jhvh1: shinohai: shinohai was last seen in #trilema 24 minutes and 43 seconds ago: <shinohai> I thought the purpose of V was to excise git-think from the mind.
Framedragger: cosmetic conflict = differently arranged lines or multiple implementations of some simplistic algorithm; overusing the whole "develop in multiple branches and merge things and stuff" thing. sorry - multitasking; trying to eradicate this habit fwiw.
mircea_popescu: i multitask too, what. nothign wrong with it.
thestringpuller: What happened to not banning gribble! Don't disenfranchise the nice bot!
mircea_popescu: i didn't ban it ?
thestringpuller: i'm jk'ing
thestringpuller: y so srs
shinohai: Nothing, mircea_popescu decided to light fire under shinohai 's ass with bickening article I suppose
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'm not the end all be all in project management for computer software. however, it seems to me "differently arranged lines" is a fucking weird problem to have. really, you can arbitrarily sort programs ? in what language, html ?
mircea_popescu: in general people working on the same (large enough as you said) codebase should have the courtesy to use the same spacing and coding conventions etc.
mircea_popescu: it is prolly best practice to have all serious V projects include a "conventions" file where to list all this. "1. tabs not spaces, bitch!" etc.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like css for the editor if you will.
mircea_popescu: actually fuck, v projects should prolly come with emacs .el file
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no disagreement there; just pointing out that sometimes small arrangement disagreements still prop up; say, different order of variable initialization (which otherwise bears no actual significance); etc. of course one *could* have a convention spec so precise taht it would include things like "if there is arbitrary order of initialization of $x then default to alphanumerical order".
mircea_popescu: for instance. it is, after all, coding. order is not contrary to results.
mircea_popescu: the problems start when phf will get more people to do knuth style literature
mircea_popescu: but hey, reading each other's novellas is the whole fucking point anywya.
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger the problem of "we'll just initialize in a soup" is a lot deeper than previously thought. in a merciless language like C, the fact that we're the first to come up with the "fucking initialize in alphabetical roder!" is indicative of the brain rot.
mircea_popescu: how do i check if kth of n elements was or was not initialized ? read a list n-1 long ?
mircea_popescu: this is kindergarten-level stupid.
mircea_popescu: half the shit you do with c is check whether something was initialized properly. HALF!
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, trinque, et al:
mircea_popescu: ("oh but mp, compiler should check!" "yeah, and your mom should have checked.")
Framedragger: look at that one person knows to actually include human readable timestamp into the inside of a pgp signed message which deals with timing-sensitive info!!!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: that's a good point!
mircea_popescu: lol they changed your pooled ip ? sad!
Framedragger: nasa's coding manual (which doesn't allow recursive code - because the rovers are, you know, sorta far away, and you write in a turing complete language) may have it - i wonder
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it happens every year or so
asciilifeform: theoretically i could pay to have it not happen, but for the same cost could get 2-3 more subscriptions to various isp...
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, /me has profile on bdsm site. a good third of the others checking it out are self-styled dominant dudes.
Framedragger: hahahahah
Framedragger: they become submissive by entering mp aura zone
Framedragger: that, i can imagine
mircea_popescu: but to be perfectly fair - it's pretty much the mental default of bois, so. the 1 in 10ish or so dominant chick is probably a larger percentage of the respective population.

Framedragger: yeah that i really like. reminds of that bitcoin wallet spec - no non-ascii parts
mircea_popescu: incidentally, asciilifeform : we'll end up with a v-stdlib won't we ? prolly starting with v-cryptolib as a nucleus.
mircea_popescu really has little use for the shit currently shipping with c as a stdlib.
Framedragger: dude, a first-on-the-planet decent cryptolib would be nice
mircea_popescu: Framedragger he's working on it, if you didn't guess from all the "scriptable cryptosystem" talk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at the moment musl is my stdlib.
asciilifeform: it is by far the fastest horse in this glue factory.
Framedragger: (there's djb's NaCl, but it's EC)
Framedragger: FUNDRAISER FOR ALF
asciilifeform: lelraiser
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the very notion of a cryptolib being cryptoimplementation shows stupid at the seams.
mircea_popescu: here's a stray thought : if i can't implement EC in a page on your cryptolib IT IS NOT A LIB!
mircea_popescu: it may be a SHIB, but that's all.
Framedragger: fwiw iirc that lib exposes abstracted parts; but, yeah, no easy way to change those internal parts

asciilifeform: the old cryptolib, by this token, was gmp. as seen here, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1533

Framedragger: asciilifeform: "Everything pertaining to Automake was nuked" - so nice. i used to doubt (or maybe i still do - in itself a healthy habit, perhaps) whether i didn't *get* something fundamental in modern s/w development.

Framedragger: psychologically harmful culture, this
mircea_popescu: no, it's just the sad effect of runaway tolerance.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i went to war against the 'culture' long ago.
mircea_popescu: take the alice character from earlier. the inclination of ~anyone, other than me/us/whatever would be to say "well, let her be, maybe who knows one day does something useful". except it does nothing useful, it only clutters things.

Framedragger: hey-ho, how about some frivolous over-engineering: http://fd.mkj.lt/stuff/irc_logging.txt
Framedragger: caching implied but not explicit
asciilifeform: i like mircea_popescu's idea - of wholly-uncoupled redundant logtrons - moar.
asciilifeform: there is no reason for all of these things to be plugged into one another.
Framedragger: there could be multiple monstrosities like this, tho!
asciilifeform: what i meant was that i see 0 reason why any 1 of the multiple items ought to be of this form.
asciilifeform: but if Framedragger wants to make one - hey, why not.
Framedragger: itch for over-machineering is a dangerous one
Framedragger: i prolly agree asciilifeform
asciilifeform: complicated mechanisms breed cockroaches.
mircea_popescu: aand in other lelz, "I can't imagine any foreigner writing down 3 lines of non error text for my life of it. Greeks are not easy to be mastered and he is using them without a mistake. what is considered to be an exception even in between Greeks."
mircea_popescu: learning. it's an impossible. so say the greeks.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537207 << mircea_popescu when the girls bring you a cup of tea, how would you like to ALWAYS have to sniff first to make sure that it is tea and not liquishit or piss ?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 14:20 mircea_popescu: then again, trust-but-verify is the correct approach anyway.
mircea_popescu: TRUST-and-verify.
asciilifeform: well there is no room to 'trust' in c.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i spot check the work of even the most senior girl.
asciilifeform: SPOT check.
asciilifeform: but, e.g., fopen(...) can ALWAYS return martian rubbish.
mircea_popescu: trust-but-verify doesn't specifically mean "always check".
asciilifeform: and so even a simple c proggy by a competent pair of hands is a MASSIVE ball of check-and-fail-as-such-or-such-or-such...
mircea_popescu: but yes, part of hte problem with extant c, as a language but more importantly as a paradigm and society, is that there's no way to build trust.
mircea_popescu: ie, young brazillian chick WILL have to have her cooking checked for shit, because apparently wash hands is not universally comprehended in brazil.
asciilifeform: i'd simply colour brazil brown on the big map in the map room and move on...
mircea_popescu: why ? great gals.
asciilifeform: great but shit on hands eh.
mircea_popescu: it's a skill, she can learn that like anything else.
mircea_popescu: you would be surprised how many girls have to be taught how to wash.
mircea_popescu: and no, northern hemisphere is not exceptional. us especially not exceptional.
asciilifeform: actually i'm not surprised, i saw with own eyes.
mircea_popescu: apparently people somehow assume younguns just know this, somehow, through osmosis.
mircea_popescu: needless to say, the only thing that occurs through osmosis is an unwarranted conviction that she knows how to do it, and a block towards examination.
asciilifeform: c (but more importantly, the c ~machine~, with its single hardware stack) encourages, and just about mandates the 'crashing is acceptable because there is NO practical way to handle ALL error conditions sanely' idiocy.
asciilifeform: stroustrup ~perceived~ the problem, but did not, in his cpp, solve it - cpp has 'exceptions' but lacks, e.g., common lisp's 'unwind-protect' ( http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?UnwindProtect ) and so error conditions still result in rubbish
asciilifeform: (because there is no way to guarantee cleanup)
asciilifeform: nor does c-machine enable restarts (how many programming folk even ~CONCEIVE~ of the notion of meaningfully RESUMING a crashed proggy ?)
mircea_popescu: young mps idea of what a compiler does was, "well it basically completely unwinds the code, so it's all flat, and then checks everything". then young mp saw the first "runtime error" and locked. then told teacher this isn't real programming and he's not interested.
mircea_popescu: the position has, broadly speaking, endured.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: haha just found https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFWforhire - may pique one's fancy
asciilifeform: young mircea_popescu , like many young folk, like, e.g., young-asciilifeform , and young-asciipet, all had this correct idea.
asciilifeform: because it is a pretty obvious and sane thing.
Framedragger: (ah, no, i take it back: mostly boring.)
mircea_popescu: moreover, if it DOESN'T do that, then wtf does it do.
mircea_popescu: this is like you know, "this coffee grinder - doesn't grind coffee". this is pretty serious - what the fuck does it do then ?
mircea_popescu: "well... here's a list." "fuck you."
asciilifeform: eh it grinds coffee. but also grinds fingernails, cockroaches, fingers.
asciilifeform: whatever ends up in.
mircea_popescu: and it's my job to find the grinds in the kitchen once it's done.
asciilifeform: also sometimes tries to grind rusty nails and burns motor
mircea_popescu: check it out, twenny bux bought me an egg hunt machine.
asciilifeform: a c-grinder will also, should its lid come off, happily continue to fly (yes) around the kitchen, grinding whatever ends up in its path, drywall, chairs, people, van goghs, stradivaris, crates of ammunition, dogs, dildos.
phf: above is ascii's (rather respectable) list of important items and valuables
mircea_popescu: "but mp, if you don't want ground ammo just don't keep crates of ammo in your kitchen" "o ya ? how about i don't keep a grinder."
mircea_popescu: DCPvGSCoADD. << the list.

mircea_popescu: for the curious, leucrota is what happens when a hyena fucks a lioness.
mircea_popescu: this is no small matter, as lions will kill hyenas unprovoked.
asciilifeform: well they do occupy overlapping meat niche
asciilifeform: so, in 'western' parlance, 'there ain't room enough in this here town for the two of'em'
mircea_popescu: (the animal doesn't actually exists outside of plinius, but still.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not only that, but hyena is the more efficient.
asciilifeform: see also mega-classic ambroise pare's 'monstres et prodiges'
asciilifeform: there is an english for folks who need.
mircea_popescu: anyway. hyenas are not cats, like lions are, but dogs. even if they've adapted into as much catness as possible. so the two aren't actually sexually compatible.
asciilifeform: noshit.jpg
asciilifeform: scorpion doesn't fuck lion on actual planet3 either.
asciilifeform: but in medieval lysergic dreams...
mircea_popescu: nah, the manticore is not the result of fux.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'd be unsurprised if there's a market in africa for lion prostitution.
mircea_popescu can readily see how the "african warrior" idi amin mentality would pay to fuck a lioness.

PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537491 << you can say somebody was instituted into a position when they are given a job
a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 18:32 mircea_popescu: aha. except there's no "you've been inmissed". the way words work in actual languages is that you institute (say a rule) and you destitute (eg a functionary).
mircea_popescu: the only difference being that khaleed started life pretending to, and here i quote, "I am one of the agents sent by the high priest to bring as many of those who are interested in becoming a member of the Illuminati to the great Illuminati temple,am a traditional herbalist healer and no problem without a solution to me but I was ones like you I could not evening feed my family what kind of life was that to live I lived in po
mircea_popescu: verty until I saw an opportunity to be a member of the great Illuminati brotherhood and I took my chances and I have been a member for close to three years now and the higher you get the richer you become." whereas gavin started life pretending to be in charge of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: upon examination it came out that neither have any relation to the thing they were posturing in front of.
mircea_popescu: 0 difference, really.
mircea_popescu: PeterL yes, some vestiges of sanity still remain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you may find power analysis a useful tool in this discussion. what exactly CAN any of these do ?
mircea_popescu: because powerless.1 === powerless.2 even from an orbit more interior than pluto's.
asciilifeform: this leads into the sacramental question of why 'control the vertical and the horizontal! gott mit uns!111' is a thing at all.
mircea_popescu: it barely holds together as a thing, and adversarially only.
asciilifeform: the way i understand it, there is a population of folks susceptible to sanity. who, were they to show up here, by same happenstance, e.g., asciilifeform , did, would stand constructively on tmsr side.
mircea_popescu: "we control the vertical and the" "how come i can't have a fucking gallon of gas ?" "oh sorry about that... nothing we can do."
mircea_popescu: i doubt this.
asciilifeform: the objective of enemy is to keep'em 'in the dark & eatin' shit'
asciilifeform: which is what boeck et al are for.
mircea_popescu: the folks "susceptible to sanity" are like the women "susceptible to porn queening". honey, if they were gonna they'd have been doing it already.
mircea_popescu: the pretense that they may start any minute now is broadly speaking that - a pretense. who knows, maybe you send the advance fee.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i don't buy into this "people good but evil govenrment corrupts". as near as i can see, "people suck and government does the best it can, as their product."
mircea_popescu: ie, the dumb and deaf scion of a drunk and a whore.
asciilifeform: 'people suck but for a few ppm'
asciilifeform: boeck et al is to reduce the risk that taleb shows up here. etc
mircea_popescu: odds are that most of those "susceptible to sanity" are more or less caught in a prison of their own making, elliot style. would you blame isla vista for the guy's issues ?
mircea_popescu: there's ~0 risk taleb shows up here.
asciilifeform: the occasional prisoner does dig the proverbial spoon tunnel and makes a break for it.
mircea_popescu: yes, but not aged 60+
mircea_popescu: or to quote voltaire, "i'm too old to make new friends."
mircea_popescu: same reason al schwartz doesn't make his way here ; and same exact reason i dunno, lew rockwell can't pass my idiot filter.
mircea_popescu: being old sucks.
asciilifeform: the other thing about the boecks is that hitler maintains - quite successfully - an atmosphere of despair and intellectual death
PeterL: Guy in prison uses a spoon to dig tunnel out, pops up in a playground, jumps up and down shouting "I'm free, I'm free." A little girl walks up to him and says "So what? I'm four!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude gtfo. "hitler maintains". tell you what, if i fill a room with depressive thirty-yo-crisis chicks it's gonna be that "the room" has "an atmosphere". then if i kick them out and in the same atmosphere introduce happy-go-lucky nineteen year olds, suddenly the same room "has an atmosphere" of juvenile enthusiasm.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this, "atmosphere". stop being an obnoxious bitch, that's the atmosphere.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: every time some dude goes 'i could try and spend 20yr and maybe come up with a sane basis for crypto --- or there's that bottle of whisky. and it looks moar like a deal' hitler wins.
mircea_popescu: wins what ?
asciilifeform: another 1000 years of reich, wat.
mircea_popescu: drunks' choices are theirs to make, what am i, borderline ?
asciilifeform: british soldiers carting in convoy of rotgut barrels to distribute to australian abos, betcha, also said 'drunks' choices!'
mircea_popescu: the emotional color of "atmosphere" is exactly of the same origin as the "feelings" furries perceive in animals' eyes : psychogenic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yep. and they were right.
asciilifeform: ya ya exceptional-individuals-are-unstoppable-whatever.
mircea_popescu: idiots have no room in this world, which is why i hear their father got some real estate waiting for them somewhere else.
asciilifeform: ya ya all these earthlings are idiots and only on this dirigible i'm d'artagnan ok.
mircea_popescu: how do i enter into it again ?
asciilifeform: well, invulnerable to 'atmosphere'
mircea_popescu: these two aren't related.
asciilifeform: i can already picture mircea_popescu as ww1 officer. green cloud rolls over trench, grunts coughing out their lungs, 'stop being obnoxious bitchez!111'
shinohai: lolz
mircea_popescu: eh gtfo. when did "atmosphere" of "depressive" suddenly catch protons and become physical chlorine.
mircea_popescu: you ready to bring me a mol of "depression" gas ?
asciilifeform: funnily enough usg spent decades in search of actual 'depression gas'
asciilifeform: but no, that's not it.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect i should prolly have said mole, but a well.
asciilifeform: witness the stillbirth of cryptography as a scientific discipline.
asciilifeform: i do not believe that it was a natural occurrence.
asciilifeform: and cannot see how anyone with half a brain could conceive of this.
mircea_popescu: the principal symptom of major depressive disorder is the delusional notion on the part of the patient that his self-enacted emotional state has some sort of physical existence independent of himself.
mircea_popescu: dude... what scientific discipline isn't stillborn in the land of the suto ? seriously now.
asciilifeform: epidemiology is not canceled simply on account of inability to point finger to a physical agent.
asciilifeform: if 1 bloke rolls over and dies of meh - that's 1 weirdo fewer
mircea_popescu: back in like...2005 iirc ? 2008 maybe ? a guy used foia to get ALL the studies on antidepressant medicine. because you know, everyone had to file them with the fda.
asciilifeform: if 1,000,000,001 do - it is a proper subject of epidemiology
mircea_popescu: guess what ? it turned out 30 years of research and a whole discipline was... stillborn.
asciilifeform: and a result of a weapon firing.
trinque: what weapon fired in egypt?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh, placebocin worx great.

mircea_popescu: "we shall call allah x" ? that's your alternative ?
mircea_popescu: such alternative! i suppose next we call idiots something else also.

asciilifeform: well not these.
asciilifeform: hypothetical alt-indians, lol.
mircea_popescu: vaccination works, in yurpeans first and foremost, because we're whores. and always have been.
mircea_popescu: lol, ie, french indians.
mircea_popescu: (to explain the science involved : immunity works as a multi layered interplay of numerous proteins. some recognize specific bits of cells - hopefully, pathogens only, or else autoimmune response - some mark these recognitions, some others further mark, it's a whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: all these proteins are created, mostly in the liver, on the basis of blueprints, which are encoded genetically. which means that if your father didn't have anywhere a marker for smallpox, and he had you with a woman who also, you are immune to vaccination : it won't express anything.
mircea_popescu: vacciness work through stimulating the expression of pre existing genes/proteins/complexes, not by creating a magical forcefield around your dick.)
asciilifeform: soooo mircea_popescu knows of a case of indian suffering smallpox 2+ times ?
mircea_popescu: usually fatal the first time.
asciilifeform: well yes.
asciilifeform: but among the remainder ~10%
mircea_popescu: but more's the pojnt : even in very genetically diverse populations (such as yurpeans, because colonialism! such as not redskins, because stoneage losers), a good portion of the population has poor vaccine response.
mircea_popescu: they are protected however still, because "herd immunity", which is to say OTHER people not gettng it artificially reduces the "population density" from the pov of that pathogen.
mircea_popescu: which permits them to live.
asciilifeform: herdimmunity is kindergarten material aha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not prepared to go into microbiological details of smallpox. but even admitting vaccine saved 10, heck, 20% of the population. then what ?

mod6: We are pretty much at the point of starting V-ify these makefiles.
mod6: And in doing so, it kinda brings us back to a previous discussion.
shinohai takes down the samovar to make tea for this discussion.
mod6: It was my first hunch, during a pre-emptive go around with this to not place the makefiles in with current source base -- as pressed out via V.
mod6: We discussed this, it was Mr. P.'s hunch that these should belong together (I hope I'm remembering this correctly), and I saw the wisdom in that.
mod6: And we haven't discussed it since.
mod6: When creating a makefile vpatch (for examplehttp://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ebmj3/?raw=true), and then you press this out, you end up with something like this:
mod6: The problem is here, that when you run `make`, it'll build everthing under: build/rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src despite the fact that the source is really under src/
mod6: this is because the makefile process does it's own V press.
mod6: Anyway, I bring this up because if we're determined to stick with this plan; the Makefiles included with the bitcoin source, then there is another ball of wax that needs to be discussed.
mod6: I think that keeping the Makefiles as a separate V tree would keep things a lot more clean.
mod6: Altogether, since we have V, I like the idea of keeping things like makefiles and buildscripts out of the main source tree. One can get V, press the makefile project. Run a `make`, which will in-turn, press everything via V and then build with buildroot.

mod6: so, im not 100% off the top of my head, but getting rid of the two rotor build script and integrating that portion into our makefiles ~might~ resolve at least part of the source redundancy issue.
shinohai: Seriously mod6 it's coming along great, today's makefile build was so easy these Eulora noobs could probably do it.
mod6: good to hear :]
mod6: Actually, I forgot, trinque already did that part. Makefile.rotor exists.
mod6: It would probably need some tweaks in there ... hmm.
mod6: Well, if it could be done without having to move anything that is already in place (as far as bitcoin is concerned), then it might work out alright.
mod6: Will try to work that out.
mod6: This hypothetical solution, even if it does work, wouldn't make it a one-button-push solution. Why? A person would need to get V + V.sig, verify, create a .wot dir, sync the patches + seals, manually or automatically, press the tree, then navigate into the pressed tree, and then `make`.
mod6: The simplest solution would be to perhaps have a deedified tarball of makefiles, much like trinque already has, get the deed, verifiy it, decode it, extract it, navigate to the make script and `make`.
mod6: Then let the makefiles do all the rest of the heavy lifting.
mod6: bbs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what ip was zoolag before ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 72.83.9.184
asciilifeform: !!up boolcrap
deedbot: boolcrap voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: i had 72.83.9.196
asciilifeform: was definitely 72.83.9.184.
asciilifeform: $s 72.83.9.196
asciilifeform: pre-dates the ~last~ fiber cut, heh.
mod6: i've got: 72.83.9.184 listed on the foundation site. is it back up now with different ip alf?

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/from:998/to:1163#998 << so then every time you try to get software running you have to two two presses, one of makefiles, one of sourcefiles ?

asciilifeform: try in the classic log ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger can we stop having this "multiline" bs unless specifically togled on somehow ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/#1160 << so basically we got v running twice ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [23:52:51] <mod6> this is because the makefile process does it's own V press.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/#1163 << so then every time you try to get software running you have to two two presses, one of makefiles, one of sourcefiles ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [23:59:57] <mod6> Altogether, since we have V, I like the idea of keeping things like makefiles and buildscripts out of the main source tree. One can get V, press the makefile project. Run a `make`, which will in-turn, press everything via V and then build with buildroot.
asciilifeform: i admit that the thing where v is invoked from inside a make always bothered me.
asciilifeform: invocations of v are meant to be ~conscious~
asciilifeform: i.e. manual.
asciilifeform: like firing a pistol.
mircea_popescu: this isn't quite right as i understand it.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/#1160 << so basically we got v running twice ? << yeah, which wont do. after my monologue earlier, I have a hunch that I might be able to get it down to a single press.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [23:52:51] <mod6> this is because the makefile process does it's own V press.
mircea_popescu: why does make run a v anywya ?
mod6: well it's earliest implementation, was a clone of our build scripts, which, used V to pull and press the source.
mod6: anyway, i might be able to get it so that you press the tree, including the makefiles, and then just build.
asciilifeform: ^ the right thing.
mircea_popescu: ok let's approach it this way : what is so special about the make files that they get their own tree ? why not say, all .c files get their own, all .h files get their separate own ? inasmuch as you can't use the makefiles without the sources, they belong in the same tree as the sources.
mod6: (working on that / testing it now)
mircea_popescu: right, exactly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point we had 3 (then 2) quite separate types of builder.
mircea_popescu: yes i know
mircea_popescu: the early history of v is shrowded in chaos./
mod6: yeah, after discussing with myself in here mainly, i'm not in love with that solution either.
mod6: i could go on here.. but let's just say i didn't think it all the way through.
boolcrap: oh my
boolcrap: she was bad
mod6: i'll see where i can get to with this new idea. however, a person would have to do this to build the entire thing: get v; verify v; put vpatches, seals, and keys in place; press; then navigate to pressed dir, then `make`.
asciilifeform: boolcrap: looks like anyone you remember from the old dayz ?
asciilifeform: boolcrap: because i think she does.
mod6: does this seem acceptable?
boolcrap: ur right
boolcrap: same hair same body type
asciilifeform: boolcrap: i bet it was her.
boolcrap: we can only hope
mircea_popescu: mod6 make can't make from arbitrary dir ?
mod6: well, one would still need to press everything out, which includes the source and makefiles in this case.
mircea_popescu: " then navigate to pressed dir, " << i mean.
mod6: which, seems to be the "pistols" way
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> " then navigate to pressed dir, " << i mean. << ah, ok yeah one ~might~ be able to do that. not an expert on make tho.
mod6: that's the easy part imho. the hard part is getting v, et. al., set up.
asciilifeform: mod6: see my original rotor makefile. it chdirs to the dep dirs, makes there, etc.
asciilifeform: not hard.
mod6: ok. that's a minor consideration.
mod6: not a problem then.
mircea_popescu: yeah. minor point
asciilifeform: was there a major point ?
mod6: the setup of v; verify v; place everything where it needs to go, etc.
mod6: for you and I, this is routine.
mod6: for most people, not so.
asciilifeform: !!up boolcrap
deedbot: boolcrap voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: mod6: dunno that vtronic builds will ever be a 'most people' affair.
asciilifeform: it is more like flying than driving, if you will.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway
mircea_popescu: so i'd say sounds good, mod6
mod6: thanks Gentlemen. I'll keep polishing here. more to come, I'm sure.
asciilifeform: good work mod6

mircea_popescu: for instance.
asciilifeform: considering that we can be quite certain that this is what it began life as.
asciilifeform: given as the thing PREDATES HTML
mircea_popescu: the ~only possible interpretation is that people simply suck at knowing what they got.
asciilifeform: in all fairness, the lisp world was hit by the equivalent of thermonuke war, and buncha stuff was lost / mixed up / dusted over.
phf: fwiw dpans has a copy of tex source, first or second to last draft before the standard was sent over to ansi. there's two projects that cleanup that tex, one is dpans2texi which produces texinfo formatted (this is what i use from emacs) and another by some russians that produces a clean pdf with hyperlinks
asciilifeform: phf: hilariously, i've been trying to buy the dead tree for eons
asciilifeform: phf: tried many times to have it printed in oncie copy, but NOBODY will promise it in ONE COVER
asciilifeform: because you can't get printondemand books on 'bible paper', only heavy laserpaper
asciilifeform: some dude got to naggum's death library copy just before i did...
asciilifeform: *before i could
phf: i have an ansi copy, it's a piece of shit though
asciilifeform: nth generation xerox in a 3ring, aha
asciilifeform: forgetit
phf: yeap
asciilifeform: i want the thing printed on archival paper and bound in motherfucking human leather.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think boolcrap and i knew that chick in meatspace.

asciilifeform: phf: yes. it's the one nobody can print into 1 b00k
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's a bbc faggot
phf: why is that? i've never tried
mircea_popescu: dude watching airstrip one betamedia ?
asciilifeform: phf: 1300 pg of laser paper takes up too much width
phf: ah, i see. "bible paper vs laserpaper"
asciilifeform: i dun need 1300 pg of laser paper anywhere. except possibly at my peine forte et dure !
asciilifeform: clhs wants to live on the thin, glossy paper that bibles were once printed on.
asciilifeform: naggum even noted this at some point in mid-'90s
phf: one day orcs perhaps will use it to last through the night, as a kindle

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-09#1537866 << aha, evolving from earlier build scripts but has to go
a111: Logged on 2016-09-09 02:11 mircea_popescu: why does make run a v anywya ?
trinque: in no small part because V is utterly useful as a tool on its own
asciilifeform: now to be fair, phf, that's 680 sheets of paper.
trinque: needs to end up in /usr/local/bin/v handily
asciilifeform: but that is still far too much. (consider how a single american pack of paper holds 500 sheets, and its dimensions )
phf: asciilifeform: have you tried contacting one of the dedicated bible printing shops? they could possibly do a small batch for you. spend int, sell the rest through wot
asciilifeform: phf: actual presses generally are nosy and ask copyrasty questions
asciilifeform: but it's always worth a try.
phf: hmm hmm
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-09#1537881 << presence of the sync command simplifies this neh?

trinque: I use sync in my instructions for logbot
asciilifeform: waitasec
asciilifeform: wtf is 'sync'
asciilifeform: that was not in my vtron.
phf: asciilifeform: you don't want to know.
trinque: now I did it
trinque: http://trinque.org/src/logbot/ << v.pl sync pulls from a URL structure like this one, populates patches and seals
trinque: discuss!
