mod6 sweet, V code is basically complete. one remaining test left to write surrouding 'press' (shouldn't take long), then just documentation to write about the thing. [18:41]
mod6 almost there :] [18:41]
ascii_field mod6: neat! [18:45]
ascii_field mod6: what's surrounding-press ? [18:46]
ascii_field oh i get it [18:46]
ascii_field this is your v-in-perl ? [18:46]
mod6 yeah. i mean, "cucumber automated test that surrounds (gives coverage to) the press function" [18:47]
ascii_field ah [18:47]
mod6 so that's the only thing left and then just user documentation. and then can start passing around the first version for people to try out to ensure of zero major defects. [18:48]
ascii_field mod6: you may end up, like it or not, king of 'v' ! see latest s.nsa broadcast. [18:48]
mod6 then will publish to th elist. [18:48]
mod6 I saw your comments in your monthly s.nsa broadcast :) [18:48]
ascii_field my only real quibble with the preview of this (or was it punkman's ??) 'v' shown a while back, is that it used interactive questions to user [18:49]
ascii_field 'v' really needs to be a pure commandline thing [18:49]
ascii_field as in, there ought to be no operations which result in prompts [18:49]
mod6 ah, no this thing doesn't prompt at all. just command line flags. works a lot like your implementation. no caching, etc. [18:50]
ascii_field then great. [18:50]
mod6 one major difference is i'm using Getopt::Long to control user input -- which ends up altering flags instead of 'w' for wot, ends up being '-w' or '--wot' but I think we can get over that. [18:51]
ascii_field why does it demand the - ? [18:51]
mod6 its just how it determines options from values. [18:51]
mod6 perhaps later, i could rebuild my own or something. [18:52]
ascii_field can't just get argv raw ? [18:52]
mod6 I actually started with this, but .. it got hairy to control some of the input. [18:52]
mod6 Tried out Getopt::Long and it was able to do what I wanted with much less arm-wrestling. [18:53]
mod6 Eh, who knows, maybe I can take another wack at that part before I'm finished here. [18:54]

BingoBoingo In other news I had a jury duty summons this week. Passed over every day. Today was told my service is complete. [22:54]
mircea_popescu guy was trading pot, had 5 grams + ~1k$ confiscated, 2 years in prison for trading, 6 months for possession, suspended sentence. [22:54]
mircea_popescu more interestingly, whole shebang's online. [22:54]
BingoBoingo Fiatlandia is getting desperate. Making examples and skipping over "burn it all" weirdos. [22:55]
thestringpuller 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. [22:55]
mircea_popescu 2 years was for dealing. [22:56]
mircea_popescu 6 months. [22:56]
thestringpuller WID charge here is like 10 years min [22:56]
mircea_popescu but anyway, first offense, so he serves no jail time. has to show up monthly to probation officer. [22:56]
BingoBoingo 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. << Illinois would plea that out [22:56]
mircea_popescu romania does not admit plea bargains. [22:56]
mircea_popescu in fact, romania disbars das if shown they tried to taint the trial, which is what plea bargain would be in sane places. [22:57]
BingoBoingo Acquaintance who FUCKING ROBBED A BANK will prolly finish probation before I even get an evidentiary hearing [22:57]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo that's the importance of massmarket for you. he did something that's mainstream [22:57]
mircea_popescu not weird fucking offences that scarcely even exist. [22:57]
BingoBoingo Sure his parole should be revoked for his latest incident of IDENTITY FUCKING THEFT, but [22:57]
mircea_popescu can you even get pot in smaller chunks than 5 grams ? [22:59]
mircea_popescu sixth of a fucking ounce ? [22:59]
BingoBoingo Anyways aparently in the USistan no matter where you are, if your parents ahve affairs with the right other people's parents... [23:00]
BingoBoingo sixth of a fucking ounce ? << yes [23:00]
BingoBoingo can you even get pot in smaller chunks than 5 grams ? << In a collegiate environment last I heard people traded pot in single grams if it did not smell of dogshit. [23:00]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: the high schoolers usually buy per joint cause they don't know any better [23:00]
thestringpuller unless they are super rich kids and parents do drugs /w kids etc. [23:01]
BingoBoingo Sure people preferred trading bigger. [23:01]
BingoBoingo Trading smaller was a sure sign of a bust though. [23:01]
thestringpuller ANything over an ounce here (Georgia) is a felony. [23:02]
BingoBoingo Trying to force small trades was how people politely let everyone else know they were compelled to turn state's witness [23:02]
thestringpuller ^- Or the sign of a d00d just trying to smoke for free. [23:04]
thestringpuller BingoBoingo: I thought bank robbery was an instafelony too. How does one get probation fro that? Returned the money? [23:05]
BingoBoingo thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. [23:07]
BingoBoingo ACTION remembers this time back in undergrad at McKendree where in his freshman year this M named chick got busted for peddling weed to this Jim Chronister motherfucker (actual name because informants suck). Turn out Jim Chronister made a deal with the local 5-0. People assumed on campus I smoked weed so he tried to buy from me. Given his reputation I sold Jim the finest handrolled cigarettes filled with great Turkish rolling tobac [23:12]
BingoBoingo Jimmy boy was pissed, but then I informed him the "weed" in his spliffs was literal shit. [23:13]
BingoBoingo Jimmy boy was really pissed. [23:13]
phf selling jenkem i see, that's 5 to 10 [23:14]
BingoBoingo Big Negro Savior though came out from the bushes an grabbed Jimmy when he popped me in the Jaw. Jimmy was missing the rest of the semester. Apparently he transfered. [23:15]
BingoBoingo Moral of the story, On 'Murican campuses if at all possible you make friends with the foozball team. [23:16]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293448 << here i must disappoint BingoBoingo. iirc the mechanism was changed, cardinally, in 0.7 and up. any work concerning leakage, involving these ancient abominations is inapplicable to therealbitcoin. [23:17]
assbot Logged on 07-10-2015 01:37:25; BingoBoingo: phf: Pls take it. I've been waiting to fuck something of this sort on my 0.7-ish tree. [23:17]
* funkenstein_ (~user@c-50-187-182-168.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:17]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293449 << we actually have a 'type 1' problem here. i already found the leak. (it consists, roughly, of the vessel having no bottom to speak of!) [23:18]
assbot Logged on 07-10-2015 01:38:05; mircea_popescu: and in general, two types of problems. 1. "build me a bridge" ; 2. "find me the leak". 1 is blocking, but 2 isn't - if a baby goat finds the leak the leak's just as found as if jesus had found it. [23:18]
asciilifeform what remains is to build the vessel a bottom... [23:18]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: As far as I know parts were changed, but I suck at CplusCock+ so I have to assume improvements would be open to trial. [23:18]
* assbot gives voice to funkenstein_ [23:18]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the particular moving part in question was replaced by something unlike. [23:18]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293467 << wat [23:20]
assbot Logged on 07-10-2015 01:46:45; thestringpuller: asciilifeform: https://github.com/hmlb/phpunit-vw << [23:20]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Many things patched in 0.5.4 candidate were patched by unlike yet have adaptable fixes. Waiting on that plug to be patched before publishing next 0.7.x bastardo codebase [23:20]
* asciilifeform is innocent of php. and of unit tests.. [23:20]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: there is a reason i gave up on backports. but i suppose you will discover it by yourself. [23:21]
* BingoBoingo ignorant of machine. Only understands patches by forcing them on to wildly differing codebases like 0.7-ish [23:21]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Backports suck. [23:21]
BingoBoingo Honestly I like the work [23:21]
funkenstein_ http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293477 <-- i know of no better example of worldwide bowing to empire than adoption of dupont's great solution to the "hemp problem" [23:22]
assbot Logged on 07-10-2015 01:54:45; thestringpuller: 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. [23:22]
asciilifeform yes, but it is not clear to me, from here, what BingoBoingo thinks he is learning from 0.7... [23:22]
BingoBoingo The orphanage twins were great exercise [23:22]
phf asciilifeform: your original analysis was that std::array (or was it boost) failed to release memory when prompted. seems like can either figure out how to prompt it harder, or substitute a structure. my other guess is that refs to same transactions are kept elsewhere, so are not actually release on clear, i haven't investigated that option yet though. [23:22]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: C-ish language is being learned, I think. If not that surely something else [23:22]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: which is why i say to mircea_popescu, 'usg is dead when you can tell me what country to visit where cocaine is sold next to soap for a penny a pound' [23:22]
asciilifeform phf: substantially trickier [23:23]
funkenstein_ booyeah I like that [23:23]
asciilifeform phf: i can force it just fine. this leads to immediate segfault because all kinds of structures continue to refer to the tx. [23:23]
phf asciilifeform: right [23:23]
asciilifeform you will end up substituting virtually everything. which is what the phoundation folks did. [23:24]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: 0.7-ish codebase radically different from 0.5-ish. It isn't until 0.8's pretend BDB abandonment that things get alien [23:24]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform srsly, nobody sane sells drugs. [23:24]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: nobody sane sells soda pop either [23:24]
asciilifeform it is a barometer. [23:24]
asciilifeform i do not actually ~need the dope personally~ [23:24]
asciilifeform it's just this device that tells me that usg is still alive and strong. [23:24]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. <<< what the fuck, hamplanet robbery ? [23:25]
BingoBoingo it's just this device that tells me that usg is still alive and strong. << USSRia hates Drugs too [23:25]
mircea_popescu what was his getaway car, the arianne ? [23:25]
phf asciilifeform: so you're saying a rewrite of the whole chunk is required? also do you think a careful inventory of references with cleanup of corresponding tree a doable approach? [23:25]
BingoBoingo what was his getaway car, the arianne ? << Chrysler PT Cruiser his girlfriend owned (yes owned, evidence) [23:26]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: today. largely because dope (and the only dope that ever really caught on in su was meth & heroin) is seen as a popcontrol weapon of the west [23:26]
asciilifeform phf: a rewrite of the whole thing is required. and was, from day 1. and this is where we get to the boojum - apparently nobody wants this. [23:26]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i wouldn't sell cocaine either, at any rate not differently freom how it's done now, at which point you'd saysomething liek "mp is nao usg" and i'd hit you in the head with a six kg single crystal metaphetamine hammer. [23:26]
BingoBoingo thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. <<< what the fuck, hamplanet robbery ? (We joked before he ran away to Chicago that he robbed the bank with a sandwich, but no. Small town bank with limited highways) [23:26]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'not sell' != 'shoot people for selling' [23:27]
mircea_popescu depends on the people. [23:27]
mircea_popescu as always with th eshooting. [23:27]
asciilifeform 'shoot people for being asshats' is one thing [23:27]
mircea_popescu some people i'd shoot for crossing the street. [23:27]
asciilifeform 'war on substances' - other [23:27]
asciilifeform aha! [23:27]
asciilifeform 'where they cut off your lips if they don't like your smile....!' (tm) (r) (disney) [23:27]
* BingoBoingo has always like weirdo idea of selling cocaine chewing gum [23:28]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: as i understand, coca is own chewing gum.. [23:28]
trinque I don't really see much difference between that one and caffeine [23:28]
funkenstein_ you can get benzocaine gum, basically the same thing [23:28]
asciilifeform ick [23:28]
mircea_popescu cocaine is supposed to be this rite of passage for the more fit teenaged girl, [23:28]
mircea_popescu elope, snort, do other things of the sort. [23:28]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: But that is leaf amenable to further processing. Best lock the active into another wax for the posturing. [23:28]
trinque it's quite popular in pdx [23:29]
phf i heard it's a hell of a drug [23:29]
asciilifeform thing is, dope in usg (and 'international treaties' as they presently exist are ~pure~ usgtronics) is not about dope, but about empire. if tomorrow no one wanted to snort coke, something else (can you say warez?) takes its place as excuse to feed standing army of stormtroopers [23:30]
BingoBoingo Cocaine's great hazard is not in itself. It is in people feel cheated, violence cycle. [23:30]
funkenstein_ might be compared to the debeers empire as well [23:30]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform iirc you wanted ppl to check and confirm. [23:30]
trinque I think the addictive aspects of cocaine vary wildly person to person [23:31]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: yes [23:31]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ fwiw, pot was A LOT more illegal in romania back when it was an "unalligned nation" [23:32]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as a start [23:32]
mircea_popescu also pot is not quite hemp. [23:32]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: who smoked pot when ro was 'unaligned' ? [23:32]
funkenstein_ was this before the dupont campaign? [23:32]
asciilifeform it is hemp in approximately the same sense that a chihuahua is a wolf [23:33]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform srsly, dope conventionslong predate usg. [23:34]
mircea_popescu trinque cocaine is not addictive. [23:34]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: sure. usg did not build on empty space [23:34]
trinque mircea_popescu: doesn't seem to me that it is [23:34]
trinque always wondered wtf people meant in re: that [23:34]
asciilifeform but the uniform prohibition on every conceivable thing that diddles neurons, ~is~ an organized usgism [23:34]
funkenstein_ stuff goes for a few bucks a gram in colombia ascii.. and considered standard fare for teenage kids by conservative parents [23:35]
mircea_popescu mircea_popescu: who smoked pot when ro was 'unaligned' ? << literally nobody. cops had no fucking idea what it smelled like, even. i don't mean "some". i mean you couldn't find a beat cop that did. [23:35]
asciilifeform so banned because 'wtf, deviant' [23:35]
mircea_popescu was this before the dupont campaign? << specific sino-soviet relations point. 70s. [23:35]
* DreadKnight has quit (Quit: #AncientBeast - Master Your Beasts ( www.AncientBeast.com )) [23:35]
funkenstein_ The "jack herer" street story is that dupont orchestrated worldwide ban on hemp to pursue synthetic fiber business [23:36]
mircea_popescu no, banned because it negatively affects school performance. [23:36]
mircea_popescu which it does, and which romania is still in a position to very acutely measure. [23:36]
phf trinque: "psychological addiction" i.e. combination of poor impulse control and boredom, that turns into compulsive behavior [23:37]
funkenstein_ meanwhile other parties pursued a ban on colombian exports and secured the borders as well as supply lines [23:37]
BingoBoingo it is hemp in approximately the same sense that a chihuahua is a wolf << /me thinks great eventual colonization project would be Coyogi's [23:37]
BingoBoingo trinque cocaine is not addictive. << Not even as much as nicotine [23:37]
mircea_popescu phf sure. like, you know, vidya. [23:38]
trinque BingoBoingo: and hell I quit cigs [23:38]
phf completely [23:38]
mircea_popescu online pron. political discussions. you name it [23:38]
trinque I know a few chicks that have the cocaine "addiction" and they just strike me as weak [23:38]
trinque phf: yep [23:38]
BingoBoingo trinque: "psychological addiction" i.e. combination of poor impulse control and boredom, that turns into compulsive behavior << This creates Hamplanets. Exact same feedback loop, but subb McDick's [23:38]
mircea_popescu all the "cocaine addicted" chicks i ever knew were in it principally for the cock. [23:38]
phf oy true, it's good to have some with you at a stripclub [23:39]
mircea_popescu secondarily for the shoes and etc. people who can afford a bowl can usually afford whatever else teen might think she wants. [23:39]
BingoBoingo BingoBoingo: and hell I quit cigs << My vague memories of cocain are it feeling good, but not "getting a blowjob" good. Basically a wash [23:39]
mircea_popescu it does serve the role of honest signal exceedingly well. [23:40]
BingoBoingo The "jack herer" street story is that dupont orchestrated worldwide ban on hemp to pursue synthetic fiber business << ANd G-13 story involves MK-Ultra [23:41]
funkenstein_ BingoBoingo, well I'm not sure about that but "scholars argue that the goal was to destroy the hemp industry largely as an effort of Hearst, Andrew Mellon and the Du Pont family." [23:43]
* BingoBoingo doubts lizards exist because more drugs would allow more potential lizards to be disqualified from their scales [23:44]
* trinque sheds a single tear for the supreme weed of the pacnw [23:44]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ and dja believe that ? [23:44]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Seriously what the fuck is Dupont compared to Monsanto [23:44]
funkenstein_ I have seen reason to believe it yes [23:44]
funkenstein_ show me, next to the soap, industrial hemp [23:45]
mircea_popescu how come the hemp industry didn't band together to destroy rayon ? [23:45]
funkenstein_ you weren't there to lead them [23:45]
mircea_popescu i wasn't there to lead the other idiots either. [23:45]
funkenstein_ somebody pays of a sycophantic congressional body. happens all the time. [23:45]
mircea_popescu seems, from a purely theoretical perspective, that if the orcs beat the humans, it's likely the humans sucked in some respect. [23:45]
funkenstein_ well yeah, i'm not saying hemp businessmen did a great job [23:46]
mircea_popescu sure pays off happens. but why did the inferior side prevail ? didn't the better industry have more money ? [23:46]
BingoBoingo In other news Gawker Media can't feed their writers without coupons from people the "Oh,So Hate" [23:46]
BingoBoingo https://archive.is/tpi4a [23:46]
assbot A Southern-Fried Sleepover at New York’s First Chick-Fil-A, Or How I Won a Year’s Supply of Chicken ... ( http://bit.ly/1FW2t6L ) [23:46]
BingoBoingo show me, next to the soap, industrial hemp << Soy [23:46]
funkenstein_ the industry with ties to fiat, not the better one, won at that time [23:46]
trinque weed and other drugs were much more likely banned because the people (in the US, probably elsewhere) were ignorant and equated altered mental states with tha debil [23:46]
trinque and if somebody took advantage of that, sure [23:47]
funkenstein_ trinque i doubt it. nobody really cares if some people go mess up their minds [23:47]
funkenstein_ look at tv for example or alcohol [23:47]
trinque 1950s american culture was entirely opposed to weird of all kinds [23:48]
BingoBoingo Soy won in the US because it actually grows like a weed and it estrogens bind to its proteins emasculating a dependant hog population at the expense of making them... Hammy and Planety [23:48]
BingoBoingo Even Ayn Rand ranted about the evils of soy [23:48]
trinque maybe she should've tried eating some to feminize herself a bit more [23:49]
trinque that face... [23:49]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ how did hemp not have ties ? [23:50]
mircea_popescu shit, half the fucking thing was making ties. [23:50]
funkenstein_ good question! it did back in the day. [23:50]
mircea_popescu for that matter, ropemaking was THE FIRST industrial process. everywhere. [23:50]
mircea_popescu read up on it sometime, it's quite fascinating. [23:50]
funkenstein_ Jefferson I think thought it would lead the usa to greatness [23:50]
mircea_popescu rope factory, first factory, harbringer of industry. so it was. [23:51]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Maybe get a time machine and kill Hamilton? [23:51]
funkenstein_ but facing guys with guns and infinite bankroll, the stuff went to hide for a while [23:51]
mircea_popescu trinque the notion that devil ~= altered mental state is older than africa really. it's an universally recognised human truth. [23:51]
funkenstein_ don't worry it'll still be around when we figure our shit out :) [23:51]
* gabriel_laddel (~user@unaffiliated/gabriel-laddel/x-9909917) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:51]
mircea_popescu ie, false, but false like a myth. [23:51]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo yeah, the soy because estrogens thing has a much better conspiraci score than the dupont hemp thing. [23:52]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ the problem you face is explaining why the guys with the lesser bankroll won. [23:53]
trinque mircea_popescu: if one's considering rules for the masses, probably better to keep a lid on the stuff [23:53]
funkenstein_ wait, Hearst, Mellon, and DuPont had the lesser bankroll? [23:53]
mircea_popescu yes. [23:54]
trinque thouch certain psychedelics would make an excellent filter [23:54]
mircea_popescu if it was the lesser industry, it had the lesser bankroll. [23:54]
funkenstein_ could be, I really don't know [23:54]
mircea_popescu this is what lesser means. [23:54]

BingoBoingo wait, Hearst, Mellon, and DuPont had the lesser bankroll? << Won on promisatory notes, not completely paid to this day [23:55]
mircea_popescu moreover... i seem to recall some bigshot names trying and miserably failing to corner the silver market. [23:55]
mircea_popescu so much so high street jewelers were taking full page ads lambasting the hoarding. [23:56]
mircea_popescu that DIDNT work out. [23:56]
mircea_popescu ie, the better industry won that time. obviously you can throw some away because "variance' [23:56]
mircea_popescu but still. [23:56]
