diana_coman: asciilifeform, one could certainly keep at all times 64 worker threads idling and waiting for jobs; initially I had implemented it precisely as such: all it takes is to accept a Get_Job request only when there IS a job to hand out; it adds a bit of complexity in there though because there has to be a flag for "available job" and then it has to be kept up to date correctly (which can be a bit tricky as it's not only when a job is added, it'
diana_coman: s also when a job is finished since the player id may be released or when/if a worker aborts unexpectedly )
diana_coman: re workers aborting unexpectedly: it shouldn't happen, no; but I can't rely on it not happening
diana_coman: that being said, I'm not sure in fact that there is a need for the Initialize procedure itself if I'm to cut something out (it's enough to initialize the array when declaring it - although technically it will happen later than within initialize,it's still before anyone gets to use it so perfectly adequate)
mircea_popescu: the problem is, since you can't guarantee workers staying up, you'll need a way to create them anyway.
mircea_popescu: it is actually better to have a robust life.death cycle than to pretend like death ain't supposed to happen.
diana_coman: re workers and specialisation: the worker tasks are not specialised, they do whatever job they are given and moreover the choice is made by job type as it were
mircea_popescu: there's nothing to force you to kill them any more often than you benefit from anyway.
diana_coman: in mircea_popescu's model/apache terminology the "workers" are in fact my jobs there: they get created , executed, finish
diana_coman: I suspect asciilifeform's point was more along the lines: why kill them at all instead of letting them idle in there until something to do; not really "why do you bother having a way to create them?"
mircea_popescu: what ? no, not at all.
mircea_popescu: apache workers ain't jobs ; and i took alf's comments to mean "why are you killing them 9k times/s", which is in his usual style of random assumptive approach, nobody said they'd be killed often.
diana_coman: if there's nothing for them to do, they get killed; but not sure what's the point in keeping them idling anyway; i.e. if it's busy then no, they don't get killed
diana_coman: I'll probably need to find out exactly what the overhead for their creation is anyway
mircea_popescu: i suspect you'll end up with them specialized, rather than case-switched, on acct of the overhead involved. however, time wil ltell
diana_coman: overhead of the case-switched/
diana_coman: from the job market's pov it's easier to have them not-specialised really
mircea_popescu: yes. because ada entities keep getting wrapped in things that end up eating runtime to "elaborate" and whatever ion thios vein.
mircea_popescu: that much is true.
diana_coman: and the case-switch is done inside the worker so on their time at most
diana_coman: hm, you mean the overhead at creating the job itself then (as that's the object that gets bigger to elaborate)
mircea_popescu: every time you load one you have to load the whole pile of everything, for the whole case set. eventually (it stands to reason) you'll find it cheaper to specialize them.
mircea_popescu: but really, no rush with this bikeshed.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-07#1893544 -> adding to this, on (re)^n -read of docs I doubt there's any benefit in having a controlled type in there; essentially the main thread will *wait* for all tasks spawned by the SJM to finish from what I understand; so then aborting them in a Finalize makes precisely 0 sense and instead I should probably make it a plain array and offer users of the package a non-synchronised procedure to abort them

asciilifeform: i.e. http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893671 specifically aint so. ( tho you ~still~ may want to specialize'em for ~different~ reason, if , say, it makes the proggy moar clear )

mircea_popescu: well, we see when it gets there.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so send them emails / drop by offices in person, "hey, look!"
BingoBoingo: I may have to. May also have to stop by the Bomberos, but that probably involves a lot of union wank.

mircea_popescu: nifty at that.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nevermind the bomberos, and fi you're going to do it at all do it today.
diana_coman: hm, in possibly interesting ada-bits: apparently "abort" for tasks does not really kill them if /when they are in an infinite loop; according to ada docs I got the idea of "abort-deferred" i.e. in some states it won't abort but "infinite loop or waiting for a procedure call to return" did not seem to figure there; in practical terms this means that my workers will have to attempt any Job in a guarded manner i.e. give up on it after some ma
diana_coman: ximum set time, so that they can guarantee that they will NEVER block no matter what
diana_coman: (since if they block, they also block the whole thing that is stuck waiting on them and can't kill them even)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo you'd rather have them work not in a guarded maner but in an acid-ish manner, and kill them after a set time established administratively.
diana_coman: but I can't kill them if they are looping!!
diana_coman: that's exactly my point above
mircea_popescu: you can not kill them AT ALL no matter what ?
diana_coman: not while they are in an infinite loop it seems
diana_coman: will look at it some more and bbl
mircea_popescu: this is fucking ridiculous, you can't have a language like that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll shoot em an email today. Their office is out in the sticks near the Palacio Legislativo. Long walk for a below the fold story.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it might tickle you to find that while the mountain lion (aka, puma) is a species of "least concern" (ie, in the pantsuit designator of animal concern trolling, they figure as "excluded") nevertheless the pantsuit comfortably living off other people's income in and around los angeles are "advising" "the town" on how to "improve genetic diversity" in the "fragmented" populations.
mircea_popescu: you see, highways are impassable WALLS for the lions ; and because "genetic diversity" is the summum bonum for late-roosevelt pantsuits, it then follows there must be "land bridges" erected so african immigrant lions can come into the suburban lions' house an' cuck 'em.
mircea_popescu: at least they're systematic in their retardedness.
BingoBoingo: Team puma is also down a young male after it aggressed against a jogger and got choked out this week. Not really qntra, but in the files for blogfodder.
mircea_popescu: how can anyone be "down a young male" ? that's what the fuck they're for, i'm not "down six boxes" because i got six boxes on atm.
BingoBoingo: They are "down a young male" in the same way Baltimore or Ferguson profess to be before they ritually burn so the big drug drop can make it in
mircea_popescu: yeah, say, i was watching some oliver stone flicks (as part of an aborted integral, jesus that guy sucks, and the 70s suck with him) and in one of them lester (of cucking de niro in casino fame) was a very poor reporter going to san salvador to report on the 1970s maduro thing there (which btw -- last i heard still ongoing).
BingoBoingo: "Asshole jogger teased its diverse prey seeking drive, then choked the poor kitty after baiting it"
mircea_popescu: 1970s us poverty very much correctly and convincingly depicted, and then when running into latino poverty, he excalims "shit, this is like baltimore or something"
mircea_popescu: so now, considering this 1970-2020 fiddy year bridge -- how is baltimore ? did the black preachers turn it into a garden yet ?
BingoBoingo: How unfair the Uruguayos managed to produce a second city center in their capital during the interval.

asciilifeform: wonder what happened to that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Right you are, nearly a decade
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform prolly died out.
mircea_popescu: lion can't take frost, gets pneumonia and dies.
asciilifeform: either that or choked on the mcfat.
mircea_popescu: one way to think of species is in terms of morphology, classify-by-what-it-looks-like.
mircea_popescu: this was fashionable in the 1800s, but to my eye today, better way to think of species is in terms of immune system protein trees.
mircea_popescu: classified by what-cocci-get-it
mircea_popescu: large cats are very vulnerable to common pneumococcus, whioch makes one wonder whether it being "the cow disease" in humans is merely coincidence
mircea_popescu: or whether the cows carry it as defense miasma.
asciilifeform: could easily; no reason why this kinda thing gotta be limited to plant kingdom
mircea_popescu: of course, education, esp common trunk education, dun include anything as modern as support for this non-1800s approach.
mircea_popescu: but it's still there.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893706 << consider this gedankenexperiment: say you have an infinite loop, incrementing a variable N. at some point you asynchronously kill it. what is N then ?
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 16:28 diana_coman: not while they are in an infinite loop it seems
mircea_popescu: undefined.
asciilifeform: correct
asciilifeform: and why wouldja want undefines in your proggy ?
mircea_popescu: it's not in my proggy anymore, i stopped it.

mircea_popescu: no dude, the appeal of "do what i tell you to do" is an artefact of the republic even existing in the first place.
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's quite evident WHENCE it came in this discussion : we have some problems to solve.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you permit asynchronous killing of thread, ~any~ part of your proggy could conceivably end up as that N, you have nfi what that thing was doing when you shot it
asciilifeform: so it's same 'so' as 'hey i'll follow a dangling pointer if i damn well please, so'
mircea_popescu: yes, and if i have a gun in the house "anyone could in principle end up pointed at with it". wtf is this, pantsuit hour ?
asciilifeform: in this case the thing is loaded, cocked, and pointing at yer foot.
mircea_popescu: if someone shuts down some procedure i didn't want shut down, i'll find them and kill them. and meanwhile, i can't have gord eating my sandwiches as a 28 yo "man".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the q is why you even ~have~ a wedgedeable -- i.e. having to be async-killed -- subprocess in yer proggy.
mircea_popescu: the only correct solution to "this program has spawned something it can't kill" is "kill the program then".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's not the fucking question. the question is i don't have a wedgeable, and "somehow" the shit dun die when i say.
asciilifeform: this is entirely correct, if you have a wedgeable subprocess in a correctly-written proggy, there is a catastrophic mistake and time to switch whole thing off and find where.
asciilifeform: ( could be dead iron, say )
mircea_popescu: the only possible basis for society, human as well as computer, is "all sons live exactly as long as father permits them, and no longer."
mircea_popescu: if i can't kill threads any time i want, I WILL NEVER SPAWN ANY.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you accomplish this by giving the subs a termination condition
asciilifeform: rather than letting'em infinite-loop and having to async-kill'em
mircea_popescu: this is besides the point. my power to kill any thing at any time shall not be infringed.
mircea_popescu: there's no "the way to do that".
mircea_popescu: i will kill ANY THING at ANY TIME.
asciilifeform: the mains switch is right there lol
mircea_popescu: if ada does not manage to provide me with all the tools i need to the exclusion of the power switch, i will ditch ada and move on to programming in power switches.
mircea_popescu: there can not be such a thing as a language that infringes the father's priviledge.
mircea_popescu: it's not a language, it's a wankpile.
mircea_popescu: fucking reason i even moved off windows was when i discovered that unlike dos, it does not support this.
mircea_popescu: that was all it took.
asciilifeform: pretty sure you can get at the underlying pthread and term it, if you gotta. just like you can get at raw c ptrs , as illustrated in e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/udp_genesis . my observation aint 'shuddyp and suck, lang tied yer hands for yer own good' but 'if your proggy is actually correct, you won't find yerself ~having~ to individually scalpel out threads'
mircea_popescu: so then i'm guessing if indeed this problem is encountered thing should just die altogether.
asciilifeform: aha, imho it's a 'yer iron is on fire' condition.
asciilifeform: to run with mircea_popescu's analogy, you want to birth the sons such that they go, when ordered, to the seppuku room, lay down the white sheet, and carefully dump out their guts into the provided pot; rather than having to chop'em up in yer living room, where they'll shit selves, thrash around breaking the fine china, and make whatever other mess.
mircea_popescu: i can buy that.
asciilifeform actually grasps mircea_popescu's pov quite well, after coupla decades with broken soft that does 'whatever it feels like', one starts thinking of 'i want control' in the sense of 'all i want is a big enuff spiked club to smash it all with'. but if you ~actually have~ proper control, cuz you wrote a correct proggy, then what you really want is 'feldmarschall's baton', not club.
mircea_popescu: all things rest on the fundamental "do what i say or i'll fucking kill you".
asciilifeform: rright but with the implicit 'and after kill you, will get new one, who does what was told'
asciilifeform: otherwise yer running abbatoir, with cows, rather than army.
mircea_popescu: i can buy that.
mircea_popescu: and ftr, it's not "coupla decades with broken soft". it's coupla decades interacting socially with the women and children "of" inept http://bimbo.club/2019/02/the-travel-guide/ dorks, so that i'm stuck lowering my backseat window and screaming "does she ever get laid ?!" to mother-daughter couple sutured at the palm-elbow joint.
asciilifeform: that also a broken soft of a kind.
asciilifeform: btw in re http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893771 , ye olde dos, for all of its virtues, is possibly worst example, when you run yer proggy there, os loses all control, you may as well have booted straight into yer proggy without any os
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 17:05 mircea_popescu: fucking reason i even moved off windows was when i discovered that unlike dos, it does not support this.
mircea_popescu: power button worked well enough.
asciilifeform: aha, erry dos box i ever owned, i truly 'programmed with the mains switch'
asciilifeform: ( to the point that the sov pc clone 'iskra', 1st comp i ever laid hands on, actually had a cpu reset key ~on kbd~ , nice big red thing )
asciilifeform: it's a bitch tho, what you really want is to lose the wedge, rather than errything you keyed in the past xx min. hence asciilifeform's elaboration of the principle in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=215 .
mircea_popescu: i'm not against a kernel that a) never itself crashes and b) always kills anything i want FOR me, and elegantly.
mircea_popescu: but i will not stand for this "can't kill my baby" nonsense.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/mOXQE << for thread-completeness. iskra kbd. the magic 'anykey' is on upper left hand.
asciilifeform: for extra lulz, asciilifeform's brother introduced the red button to him as 'эникей' , and for yrs later thought this, 'ha, programmers sadistically exhort green n00b to reset cpu'
mircea_popescu: they do.
asciilifeform: used to , at least.
asciilifeform: afaik what passes for comp nowadays ( where 'it dun fit on the pnoje screen!!11' ) often dun even ~have~ a reset.
mircea_popescu still recalls discussion in the heart of what later became one of romania's largest isps, when sold to i udn recall who : five dudes each with large-ish ad hoc networks (i suspect you recall those) were talking about pooling, and they needed what in the civilised world is a peering noc, and it was discussed what items to buy
mircea_popescu: and i said "why would you buy these small shits, they don't even have a reset button"
mircea_popescu: the pov prevailed, and their early ad-hoc "dc" in a sovok flat room somewhere contained proper boxed desktops instead of server racks.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893756 -> this makes in fact a lot of sense esp given asciilifeform's observation that indeed, that's an unrecoverable error state; so this sounds good: if child task doesn't die when aborted then kill self (taking the task with self too ofc); I'll experiment with this but afaik so far it should work
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 17:01 mircea_popescu: the only correct solution to "this program has spawned something it can't kill" is "kill the program then".
diana_coman: and to clarify just in case there was any doubt: NO, workers are not meant to loop for ever or any such nonsense; BUT I still can't assume that can not happen!
mircea_popescu: they have a whole signalling thing in ada, so you don't have to do the retarded c infinite loop
diana_coman: sure, as the code shows there is no infinite loop anyway yes; workers will wait on Get_Job and that's pretty much
diana_coman: but the whole thing here was more about what completing the job means - which so far is not defined and at any rate it's defined with the Job, not with the worker as it were; anyway, I stumbled on this just as part of usual "poke new things around in all directions"
asciilifeform: incidentally, before $thread is forgotten, oughta add that unix's model of process-killin' is a convincing illusion, but not the Real Thing, given e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-31#1838388

mircea_popescu: ie, athlete/lottery winner being convinced by entourage that "he has something to say" in the http://trilema.com/2018/yes-bitch-i-would-bring-it/ vein of world-establishing saying,
mircea_popescu: nah, rather, "winner" of tournament thingee, now stuck pretending like he's a sorta king sui generis.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, you might enjoy http://trilema.com/2012/pasunismul-noua-religie-a-lumii-prostilor/ from back when mp mostly wrote about orc amateurism. very male flavour, same fizz.
asciilifeform: oh neato, ty, i'll eat
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this reads like ye olde (imho great, btw) guide to perpetuum-mobile aficionados
asciilifeform: ( i dun recall whether was on trilema, or older, elsewhere )
asciilifeform: was a kind of taxonomy of dodges/'fatlogic' gymnastics
mircea_popescu: how did it go ?
mircea_popescu: possibru not on trilema
asciilifeform: wish i could dredge up the orig. but from memory it had a 'resists formalization' definitely
asciilifeform: 'won't commit to writing down an equation for love or money'
asciilifeform: 'identifies similars as idempotents'
asciilifeform: buncha these.
asciilifeform: and hrm where was that three-cycle engine thread.
mircea_popescu: may be schwartz ? but as a bonus : http://trilema.com/2010/voi-nu-meritati-respect/#selection-41.0-41.597 hory shit, 100% costa rica's heredia-alajuela axis!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly was schwartz. had also a great point where 'crackpot will find how to take the 'proof' to where its demolition requires ever slightly moar advanced grasp of subj than he is able to muster'
asciilifeform: ( arguably a variant of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-18#1686299 thinking )

mircea_popescu: i confess i like it, as expression, but it also grates me. deeper understanding is not generally "more advanced" in the sense of, "sits atop larger pyramid", but generally in the sense of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-04#1884426
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 17:18 mircea_popescu: why the fuck didn't i think of that.
mircea_popescu: that literally ~advanced~ metamaterial isn't for this advance further, but rather -- closer.\
asciilifeform: right! it's ~never in the 'pyramid' sense
asciilifeform: it's in the 'whole thing is a bridge to nowhere on acct of [noether's symmetry or other item perpetrator is entirely innocent of]'
mircea_popescu: i suppose the dead endness of dead ends is ~always~ going to be sitting on a pyramid tho. "how do you know this can't be" very different from "here, try it, it works"
asciilifeform: 'pyramid' is typically product of 'linear mind' ( from mircea_popescu's recent piece on subj ) pilin' up whatever dung he could muster

asciilifeform: could've sworn that item was subj of old thrd
mircea_popescu: this seems familiar.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i suspect might be it.
mircea_popescu: "It has been brought to our attention [...] that offensive language is commonly used by [...] staff. Such behavior, in addition to violating our policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and staff." << very typical flavour of bureaucrat alt-worlding, "here staff, here's wha
mircea_popescu: t is offensive to you"
mircea_popescu: very much the unifying thread of http://trilema.com/2018/hey-women-did-you-know-that-before-the-pantsuited-hilarity-gave-you-your-civil-rights-you-were-living-in-slavery/ and tlp's "hey x people, did you know you hate y people ?" usg.media model.
mircea_popescu: "staff" didn't know what's highly offensive to it until the nigger brigade showed up to enlighten!
mircea_popescu: come to think about it, perhaps the largest open question re ro language would be why exactly everything exasperatingly dubious belongs to the Fish.

BingoBoingo: Burlington Problem. Outside of Clotheirs lucky enough to find patronage, the sector is dominiated by cost cutting and product turnover. Every now and then pieces of butthurt "sneaker investors" pop up with the penetrated feeling very sore their forum investments fell apart in storage without ever having been worn.

Mocky: i haven't had to go into the office every day for 10 years. takes some getting used to
BingoBoingo: Well, when you get vacation time whores are much easier (in theory) to find down here.
Mocky: im on 6 month contract to hire, so no paid time off until they beg me to go perm in July
BingoBoingo: Nevermind the whorehouse around the corner has a couple different websites proposing different hours (franchise operation linked to online online/cable tv porn channel).
Mocky: franchise, wtf lol
BingoBoingo: Mocky: It claims common ownership with the porn channel, but... its online presence is poorly coordinated by even the local standards
Mocky: such branding
BingoBoingo: And the prices are not competitive with the massage houses around Tres Cruces
Mocky: my new slave galley issued me a mac book pro. ugh, i thought i was going to make it to the grave without having to mac

Mocky: 'thunderbolt' ports only, even for power. every periph unusable without holy water blessed apple dongle
Mocky: took me a full minute to find the power button, turning it over and every which way.
BingoBoingo: Thankfully it minimizes the temptation to use it for anything else.
Mocky: at least there's an actual terminal unlike windows
BingoBoingo remembers first torx screwdriver fondly. Acquired at RadioShack in 1999 to open "Mac Classic"
mircea_popescu: o check it out, it's a mocky
Mocky: my first torx was to pull a ford brake pad
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Plenty of people have run into the terminal not actually being a terminal.

mircea_popescu: i knew a guy took a pay cut to go tech support a call center.
mircea_popescu: his escort bills went down to ~0, which more than compensated
BingoBoingo: Mocky: The things it plugs into tend not to work the way expected on other systems. phf and pete_duskenski both ran into this iirc
mircea_popescu: seemed like he's on to something for a season. then his drama account blew through the roof.
Mocky: mircea_popescu: thought that was where the black chix who can't code go
mircea_popescu: Mocky not usually, call centers generally in orcistan, black girls who can't code only found in "our country".
Mocky: BingoBoingo: ah yes, i remember reading as much in the logs
BingoBoingo: In other news, tonight's second part of the local blackface parade is on despite lightening in the not so distant distance
mircea_popescu: everywhere else, they're like rabbits who can't fly -- nobody seems to notice.
Mocky: so many roles in 'modern development', mostly slotted by chix 'scrum master' 'product owner' 'ux designer' in addition to the traditional hr
BingoBoingo: What about "clean floors"?
mircea_popescu: basically euphemism threadmill for "social worker" aka "active fat black old woman on govt dole".
mircea_popescu: don't call the cripples handicapped anymore, and btw mammie is nao "scrum master", "helps outsiders identify which interactions with the scrum team are helpful and which aren't".
mircea_popescu: the "bitch, did anyone ask yo dum'ass anything ?" fundamental question still unanswered. and unanswered shall it stay, for as long as "participation" is "a value" etc.
BingoBoingo: So, new political commercial popped up during the Parade Break. In song form "Los atracadores, se van, se van" Ended with a time and date for a rally in Colonia.
BingoBoingo: About as relevant as a national campaign rally in Idaho would be if the US didn't have the electoral college.
BingoBoingo: Was a bigger shock than seeing a local naval infantry convoy consisting of a pickup truck and two motocicletas
