ag3nt_zer0 if I were to embark on a learning journey exploring the rudiments of programming, would there be good reason to not start with C? I always like to go to the root of something I am learning, which in my ignorant guesswork I like to think C is one of those root languages, but I have heard whisperings here and there that python is the way to go... any thoughts? [00:13]
decimation C is essentially the 'bedrock' of modern computers [00:13]
decimation unless you want to make your own computing machine I suggest learning bedrock [00:13]
ag3nt_zer0 haha ok [00:13]
mats on the subject of timezones [00:14]
mats am confuse about why London is GMT+1 [00:14]
mats o/ [00:14]
decimation daylight savings [00:14]
decimation just like here [00:14]
mats oh, that explains it. [00:14]
decimation to make things stupid they also go on daylight savings at different calendar days than we do [00:15]
decimation also GMT is kinda outdated, the new thing is french UTC [00:15]

funkenstein_ while we're on the subject of time, i've been working on building a clock [00:26]
funkenstein_ it grabs headers from several altcoins and estimates the current time [00:26]
decimation as I recall this was needed in the pogo [00:29]
funkenstein_ the DUT1 was needed? [00:29]
decimation no, but some rough clock setting [00:29]
decimation because nobody wanted to trust ntp [00:29]
BingoBoingo it grabs headers from several altcoins and estimates the current time << The proper way to build a clock is with brass, a lathe, and a steady hand [00:30]
funkenstein_ hehe, well, i guess this is a meta clock [00:34]
funkenstein_ all it does is collect what miners have said the time is [00:34]
BingoBoingo If you just want to count seconds on a C machine http://www.openntpd.org/ is pretty much the gold standard nao [00:35]
assbot OpenNTPD ... ( http://bit.ly/1H2lG6N ) [00:35]
decimation funkenstein_: it would be useful if you could determine time accuracy and variance [00:35]
decimation as well as how quickly you can acquire time [00:36]
BingoBoingo They had to fight TimeGavin who fought their efforts to clean code and kill retardation [00:36]
funkenstein_ each coin you add increases accuracy, [00:37]
funkenstein_ but the whole thing seems somewhat pointless [00:37]
BingoBoingo And yes, the shitgnomes fight improvement and cleanliness no matter how seemingly trivial a part of the stack janitors want to devomit [00:37]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: And then ATC or Doge abandoment dicks your averaging effort over [00:38]
decimation funkenstein_: the point is that you can get time without trusting anything outside verified coins [00:38]
funkenstein_ decimation, exactly [00:39]
danielpbarron why include altcoins at all [00:39]
funkenstein_ danielpbarron, to get better than ~ 10 min. accuracy [00:40]
BingoBoingo "coins" have insufficient entropy to be useful as a precision measure of time at all. [00:40]
decimation don't need accuracy [00:40]
mats precision and accuracy are different things [00:41]
BingoBoingo If you want to measure epochs and years BTC blockheight is fine. If you want a race you want something calibrated against nuclear decay. [00:41]
BingoBoingo More random gives you more precise time. [00:41]
BingoBoingo Accurate time doesn't happen [00:41]
* JorgePasada (~JorgePasa@c-67-183-19-167.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:41]
funkenstein_ one could always look at the sky [00:42]
decimation mats: I'm aware, don't need precision either [00:42]
danielpbarron funkenstein_, you aren't limited to just the last block [00:42]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Timekeeping is a battle between astronomy and nuclear chemistry [00:43]
danielpbarron could be something like the difficulty adjustment only not limited to the last 2 weeks [00:43]
BingoBoingo danielpbarron: Block height is always going to to a rough measure of time due to entropy. Could make a great system for a calendar, poor for slicing up a day though [00:45]

BingoBoingo And are naturally opposed. [00:48]
funkenstein_ this is liable to get confusing [00:50]
BingoBoingo Shitgnomes leave turd traps and prevent nice things. Shit lords bury gnomes in turds to highlight their wretch. Mike Hearnia is a cononical shitgnome. Theo Deraadt and alf are cononical shitlords [00:50]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Everything is heirarchy. [00:50]
BingoBoingo Shitgnomes try to ruin the things shit lords want to use [00:50]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Start constructing a memory palace. [00:51]

decimation how many sheets to the wind are you? [01:00]

BingoBoingo mats: Your poor stomach. What about trying that stuff topical? [01:27]
mats am also applying bengay liberally [01:27]
mats i have become my grandfather [01:28]
BingoBoingo Ouch. Bengay is basically topical super aspirin [01:28]
mats is that good [01:28]
mats i was under the impression that it reduces inflammation [01:29]
BingoBoingo It does. [01:29]
BingoBoingo The salicyclate is the active part of aspirin [01:29]
mats its not working [01:29]
BingoBoingo I mean you can try a comounding pharmacy for a more extreme replacement for the BenGay. Mixing a different NSAID with amitryptiline or nortryptiline to hit the nerve endings harder [01:32]

* Vexual has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [01:35]
BingoBoingo I'm telling you old arthiritic folk love topical tricyclic antidepressants to kill nerve pain, but if truly trapped knife may be an eventuality [01:37]
mats I want to know if there's an issue with continuing this regimen of aspirin and ibuprofen [01:37]
decimation mats: sucks. [01:37]
decimation most folks I know who have knee or back surgery tend to have poor results [01:37]
BingoBoingo mats: Do you have an ulcer yet? [01:38]
mats BingoBoingo: can i ask for that without a script? [01:38]
Chicago mats, I had the left ulnar nerve released in 2010 and still do the meds. They're really not so helpful. [01:38]
Chicago (intramuscular release) [01:39]
BingoBoingo mats: You'd need a script, and you'd need a compounding pharmacy to fill the script. [01:39]
mats the meds are not helpful, or the release was not helpful? [01:39]
* funkenstein_ has quit (Quit: Leaving) [01:39]
Chicago mats, The release was done and may be needed again in the future. I still have the numbness in 4th and 5th digits of the left hand once in a while (but not as bad as the constant it was prior). The meds though, I think are more for my comfort and not a real treatment. They're not solving anything. [01:40]
* Vexual (~Vexual@unaffiliated/vexual) has joined #bitcoin-assets [01:41]
Chicago Prior to the release, I couldn't feel the keyboard underneath my fingers for 6 months. [01:41]
mats a fairly common outcome, i think [01:42]
mats maybe its time for us to learn typing with feet [01:43]
cazalla gee you guys must spend a lot of time jacking it to require surgery [01:43]
BingoBoingo If you find a doctor who can help you go with a heavier topical preparation you can also switch out from ibuprofen to something like diclofenac which is too antiinflammatory to take orally [01:44]
Chicago I adapted my workstation heavily. So the change has made a difference in comfort. Now, the desk is about 36" deep and I can rest my arm on it and the keyboard sits deep too. [01:44]
Chicago So there is room to have uniform pressure on the lower part of the arm. [01:44]
Chicago cazalla, wrong arm [01:45]
mats BingoBoingo: no ulcer yet [01:45]
cazalla Chicago, ah you don't use both arms? [01:45]

mircea_popescu oh the java c thing. [16:33]
mircea_popescu hazirafel_ listen, there is no practical way to understand anything relevant re bitcoin without actually reading the code. and the code is c++. you will have to do this as a first step. [16:34]
hazirafel_ ok cool. i've been reading the developers guid [16:34]
hazirafel_ e [16:34]
mircea_popescu the alternative, if you are a business person, is to have a programmer "read it to you", but this is expensive and rare a tradecraft, so. expect to spend the next year laying groundowkr, mostly in terms oif reading the codebase and wondering at the wonders of c++ [16:34]
mircea_popescu the problem with reading the developer guide is the same problem with reading mark twain, the cliff notes. [16:35]
mircea_popescu a) not in any sense funny and b) very dangerous, ion that it offers you the illusion of having understood (through recognition mostly) but no actual understanding. which is how people end up writing insecure applications [16:35]

ascii_field 'When JTRS started, software-defined radio (SDR) was still in its infancy. The project's SCA architecture allowed software to manipulate field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the radio hardware to reconfigure how its electronics functioned, exposing those FPGAs as CORBA objects. But when development began, hardware implementations of CORBA for FPGAs didn’t really exist in any standard form.' << giga-l0l! [17:16]
mircea_popescu ascii_field to round up what i mean, class A are perhaps "the shooters in the dark". which means, they have an idea what they want, and programming [as taught] fails to satisfy [which is the fault of the teachers]. [17:17]
ascii_field as if fpga has ~ever~ (at least since '92 or so) been 'exposed' as anything but the blackest of black boxes [17:17]
mircea_popescu this is then mis-represented as "there's something wrong wit hthe patrons" [17:17]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: iirc the author of 'camels' did investigate what the 'shooters in dark' had in common - and in all cases, it was an inability to comprehend that the machine is entirely blind to human intent, and to build meaningful mental models of purely mechanistic systems as a class [17:18]
mircea_popescu but my proposition is that perhaps he found this because it's what he wanted to find. [17:18]

decimation mircea_popescu: yeah but the desert eagle round is only 33 mm long [22:10]
decimation has about 10x less energy [22:10]

asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169341 << no!! 'barrett.' standard issue in usa to police since a few yrs ago [22:14]
assbot Logged on 20-06-2015 00:56:22; mircea_popescu: you know what happened. some lt in that preceinct had a .5 DE in his special closet. [22:14]
asciilifeform precisely for occasions like this [22:14]
asciilifeform if anyone recalls, a while ago i posted photos from my town's police expo. they had just such a rifle, and introduced it as 'for cars' [22:14]
decimation yes and the armor piercing .50 bmg rounds are common. [22:15]
decimation I have a friend who has one, they are fairly common among shooting enthusiasts [22:15]
asciilifeform a little costly [22:15]
asciilifeform but available [22:15]
decimation yeah [22:15]
decimation he told me the cheapest way to get ammo is to buy usg surplus [22:16]
asciilifeform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_BMG#/media/File:Rifle_cartridge_comparison.jpg << far left of photo [22:16]
assbot .50 BMG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1IplYzm ) [22:16]
decimation apparently after the round is shipped too many times, the powder becomes too fine and burns off too quickly [22:16]
decimation usg sells shell as surplus, can reload yourself [22:16]
asciilifeform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_Action_Express#/media/File:50_AE_and_32_ACP.jpg << left side - the cartridge mircea_popescu may have been thinking of [22:17]
assbot .50 Action Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ipm61Q ) [22:17]
asciilifeform iirc it was pitched for 'big game' [22:17]
decimation the .50 ae? [22:17]
asciilifeform aha [22:17]
decimation it's not really strong enough for that either [22:18]
decimation maybe at really close range [22:18]
asciilifeform there are a few ludicrously heavy pistols that fire .50ae. for some reason mircea_popescu seems to like'em. [22:19]
* joshbuddy (~josh@wikimedia/Joshbuddy) has joined #bitcoin-assets [22:19]
decimation maybe he spent his youth playing counterstrike [22:19]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169352 << 99mm would be a cannon shell - if it existed [22:21]
assbot Logged on 20-06-2015 01:04:38; mircea_popescu: nato fires 99mm [22:21]
asciilifeform (perhaps mircea_popescu was thinking of famous nazi '88' ?) [22:21]
decimation I assume he meant .50x99mm [22:21]
asciilifeform ah [22:21]
asciilifeform ru version has same, iirc, bullet, but 108mm shell [22:22]
asciilifeform (why? ask'em not me) [22:22]
decimation asciilifeform: apparently the marine snipers use .308 with only 1000 yards range http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/why-the-marines-have-failed-to-adopt-a-new-sniper-rifle-in-the-past-14-years/2015/06/13/cb924d96-0eaf-11e5-a0dc-2b6f404ff5cf_story.html [22:24]
assbot Why the Marines have failed to adopt a new sniper rifle in the past 14 years - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1IpmuO7 ) [22:24]
decimation taliban/isil with .50 cal dshk can outrange them [22:24]
asciilifeform in nato armies, 'sniper' is often used interchangeably with 'designated marksman' which are rather different jobs [22:25]
decimation yeah it isn't clear if this article is about actual snipers or designated marksmen [22:26]
asciilifeform at any rate, u.s. police love these things. for shooting through cars, boats, walls [22:27]
decimation yeah, in this case it obviously came in handy [22:29]
decimation but this will be the one corner case that will justify $mil in usg 'requirements' [22:30]
asciilifeform iirc most of them were handed out to police by pentagon, for 'free' (gulfwar2 surplus) [22:30]
decimation yeah probably [22:30]
asciilifeform for enthusiasts - 5-8k usd. [22:31]
asciilifeform who wants - go, buy. [22:31]
decimation if you fill out reams of usg paperwork and file for license you can also have .50 machine gun [22:31]
asciilifeform (usa. no idea what equiv. is elsewhere.) [22:31]
decimation but be ready to spend $$$ for ammo [22:31]
asciilifeform at ~5 usd / round, one has to really like the music. [22:31]
decimation heh yeah [22:31]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169336 << which is why http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169312 [22:37]
assbot Logged on 20-06-2015 00:50:54; mircea_popescu: anyway : the do doesn't exist when it appears in the code, but when the returning while is looking for it. much like the tits on the girl don't belong to the girl. [22:37]
assbot Logged on 20-06-2015 00:42:54; asciilifeform: of course, folks who regularly deal with the output of c compiler cannot be surprised by duff's device [22:37]
asciilifeform 'duff's device' represents 'leaking abstraction' concept. [22:37]
asciilifeform (it rubs the reader's face in the fact that all c control structures translate into jumps, which are quite the same as the much-maligned 'goto') [22:38]
asciilifeform compiler won't let you cross stack frames, though [22:39]
asciilifeform (for this, you need setjmp()...) [22:39]
asciilifeform phun phakt: 'scheme' programming language has its 'call-with-current-continuation', perhaps the oddest and 'most generic' control structure known, which takes the current place in execution and turns it into an assignable (yes) closure (i.e. callable function!) -- typically it is implemented using setjmp(). [22:41]
asciilifeform http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/callcc.html << see also. [22:41]
