mod6 | thanks for the pointer asciilifeform | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | mod6: i also liked http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/docs/distilled/adadistilled.pdf | [00:09] |
assbot | ... ( http://bit.ly/1S2drY1 ) | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | (113 pgs) | [00:09] |
mod6 | oh yeah, this first link is a trove of examples. nice. | [00:10] |
mod6 | If the software must absolutely work wit | [00:12] |
mod6 | hout error, where a software accident could | [00:12] |
mod6 | kill or maim, Ada is the correct choice. | [00:12] |
mod6 | sounds like the right idea | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | sorta why i unearthed it. | [00:13] |
phf | (load-canonical-entries) | [00:13] |
phf | oops, my first ben_vulpes | [00:13] |
asciilifeform | l0l! | [00:13] |
mod6 | haha | [00:15] |
mod6 | there have been, three people iirc that have pasted their passwords in here | [00:16] |
asciilifeform | mod6: i got into ada ~1y ago. and it was ~very~ reluctantly. | [00:16] |
asciilifeform | it is a very painful thing, to work in. to the point that as early as the first months folks made jokes that it was a ploy to bog down soviet research establishment, plan being that they would copy it and grind to a halt ! | [00:17] |
mod6 | yeah, i'd seen the name before, but never heard anything about it until you were talkin about it. now it interests me because bitcoin needs to work better than a goddamn 777 | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | (su, afaik, never took it up, but pascal was strong there) | [00:17] |
mod6 | hahaha | [00:18] |
mod6 | well, we'll see when i start getting into it. ive liked playing with scheme. | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | i can almost guarantee you won't like ada then. | [00:18] |
mod6 | i've bee working my way though all the examples in sicp | [00:18] |
mod6 | eh, im sure if i get the hang of its conventions, etc., i'll get somehow masochistically into it. | [00:19] |
asciilifeform | the canonical text is by one barnes | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | i have the 2012 ed. | [00:20] |
mod6 | oh i got that one ref manual from 95 | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | (the ~actual~ canon is the standard and rationale books, but they are painful to learn from when n00b) | [00:20] |
mod6 | yeah, flipping through the book -- it's pretty dense. | [00:21] |
mod6 | Ada 95 Reference Manual. Language and Standard Libraries: International Standard << this one | [00:22] |
mod6 | is tail recursion always defined such that there are O(n) steps in O(1) space? | [00:25] |
asciilifeform | mod6: only if you have tail-call optimization | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | as in, e.g., scheme | [00:26] |
mircea_popescu | if its optiminm | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | but not, for the most part, anywhere else | [00:26] |
mod6 | right, they said something about C/C++/et.al that have a loop construct such as 'do/while' 'for' 'foreach' etc, as a defect in the lang. lol | [00:27] |
mircea_popescu | did everyone see the funarg funerales argentinos thing ? | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | aha! | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | it's still making me chuckle. | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | they solved the funarg problem!11 | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | speaking of which, bitcoin needs not merely a "protocol standard". | [00:29] |
mircea_popescu | it needs the fucking standard AND RATIONALE book. | [00:29] |
asciilifeform | quite. | [00:29] |
mircea_popescu | and we won't even fucking know the standard is anything but elaborate cumcake until the rationale part stands up. | [00:30] |
asciilifeform | it was the rationale b000k that sold me on putting on the apocalyptic gas mask and doing ada at all. | [00:30] |
mircea_popescu | and we don't even have the fucking conceptual girder to even comprehend what the rationale'd be on (in terms of, what are the primitives) | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | maybe it should be all based on colors for all we know. | [00:31] |
asciilifeform | quaternions!11 | [00:31] |
mats | on a moar flippant note, | [00:33] |
mats | i found a 24x36in wooden frame and currently looking for pranks to play with it (apr1 is fast approaching) | [00:33] |
mats | my best idea is to print a hi-res portrait of a coworker and put something like 'January 1985 to March 2016' at the bottom, then hide in the office somewhere | [00:34] |
mats | but, i am open to proposals | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | make a fake wasp nest ? | [00:35] |
mats | (idea with prior is, folks see portrait, then coworker, wonder why a dead man is walking around) | [00:38] |
mats | a wasps nest could be good, however, i am not strong in the crafting arts | [00:39] |

They hate those who took away their jobs and gave them to foreigners and immigrants. They hate those who stole their retirement savings and ruined their children's futures. They hate the smug university type | [10:05] |

asciilifeform | no explicit use, for instance, is made of the network. | [17:10] |
asciilifeform | it is entirely up to you how to get new patches into and out of the box | [17:10] |
asciilifeform | can use sneakernet and floppies if you like. | [17:10] |
mrottenkolber | or git? ;-) | [17:11] |
asciilifeform | or carrier pigeon. | [17:11] |
asciilifeform | and yes, you are free to replace the hash with sha1 or md5 or crc32 or whatever, just like you are free to buy a toyota and drive it off a cliff | [17:12] |
asciilifeform | neither i nor toyota have any business saying what you do. | [17:12] |
mrottenkolber | My point is the toposort isn't really part of the problem v solves. The function is to cryptographically verfiy a sequence of patches (based on a wot), who cares where that sequence comes from, as long as each patch (commit) has a signature. | [17:13] |
asciilifeform | see in particular http://trilema.com/2016/the-v-manual-genesis 0x00 | [17:13] |
assbot | The V Manual Genesis on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1VBcxqY ) | [17:13] |
asciilifeform | the toposort ~is~ part of it. | [17:13] |
asciilifeform | without it, you just have a bag of patches, to be sorted manually | [17:14] |
asciilifeform | which you did not need a program for, could have done it without me just as well | [17:14] |
asciilifeform | likewise, the file hashes ~are~ a part of v, it is how you know that the prescribed flow of patches is being successfully followed. | [17:14] |
asciilifeform | again, without this, you have 'faith-based' patching. | [17:15] |
asciilifeform | the nailing down of the BITWISE identities of the intermediates, ~is~ part of the point of v. | [17:15] |

asciilifeform | the primary weapon of the enemy is the morass of 'nobody read this, nobody understood this' crapolade that 'everything depends on' | [17:17] |
asciilifeform | e.g., git. | [17:17] |
asciilifeform | e.g., dns. | [17:17] |
phf | mrottenkolber: if that's your only goal, you don't need v for that. git already does it for you by having a linearly hashed commit chain. right now you have a reasonable way of verifying the git chain from the top hash, but you can't make any crypto claims about it, since the hashes are sha1 | [17:17] |
asciilifeform | the modus operandi of the enemy is to insert 'bugs', e.g., 'heartbleed', and to prevent attribution. | [17:18] |
asciilifeform | 'everything' in 'open source' was written by 'everybody and nobody'. | [17:18] |
asciilifeform | v is so as to put an end to this idiocy. | [17:18] |
mrottenkolber | phf: That's why I thought about adding signatures of “git vdiff” to commit messages and an alias/command to verify a branch. | [17:18] |
asciilifeform | phf: not only are git hashes sha1, but git itself is a gigantic bag of ?????. | [17:20] |
asciilifeform | that i for one have not read nor verified, nor intend to | [17:20] |

phf | asciilifeform: well, you can verify data without verifying git. i've done it, and the thing definitely produces a semblance of "blockchain", i.e. later commits hashes previous commits' hashes, so you can if you ignore the sha1 issue, take a git branch and confirm its uniqueness from the final hash | [17:23] |

asciilifeform | phf: thing is that i have no intention of ignoring the sha1 issue. sha1 is ~broken~. | [17:23] |

mircea_popescu | not like it couldn't in principle be gutted/rewritten in part. | [18:11] |
ben_vulpes | i press to confirm patch validity and then commit the changes to my local version controlatron. | [18:11] |
ben_vulpes | that way i can rebase, etc whenever i care to. | [18:11] |
mircea_popescu | chocolatron ? | [18:11] |
mircea_popescu | o nm. | [18:12] |
asciilifeform | am i the only one without fancy mechanisms here ? | [18:12] |
ben_vulpes | what about this is fancy? | [18:12] |
mircea_popescu | nah, i generally don't do any of that either. | [18:12] |
mircea_popescu | then again, the people who aren't me that actually care/understand computers tend to . | [18:12] |
asciilifeform | i use v + bare teeth | [18:12] |
ben_vulpes | yes but you like pain | [18:12] |
asciilifeform | ben_vulpes: i like right pain | [18:12] |
asciilifeform | not idiot rote | [18:13] |
asciilifeform | but i was reluctant to write v, if you recall, because i considered the problem it solves to be a trivial / muscle thing | [18:13] |
ben_vulpes | aha | [18:13] |
asciilifeform | but iirc mircea_popescu & hanbot et al disagreed, so v had to be. | [18:13] |
mircea_popescu | it's splendid, really. the fact that i can run it on a random box and trust the result pales anything else. | [18:14] |
ben_vulpes | perhaps the *other* way to go about this is simply to make patches against the base 0.5.3, and then anyone wanting to apply them may do so in whatever order they choose, resolving conflicts as they feel. | [18:14] |
asciilifeform | ben_vulpes: this'd result in gargantuan lengths of duplicated crapola | [18:14] |
asciilifeform | ick | [18:14] |
mircea_popescu | well alternatively one could also shit on exposed cable and let the bits sort themselves into software as they will | [18:14] |
ben_vulpes | why? | [18:14] |
mircea_popescu | why the hell not. how much worse than present situation could it be. | [18:14] |
ben_vulpes | onm. | [18:14] |
asciilifeform | ben_vulpes: i'm not reading a MB of crud i've seen before. | [18:14] |
asciilifeform | i'd rather shit in the cable. | [18:14] |
ben_vulpes | yes yes | [18:14] |
asciilifeform | as per mircea_popescu's formula. | [18:14] |
ben_vulpes | fine. | [18:15] |
asciilifeform | understand, a 10kB patch is ~LONG~ | [18:15] |
mircea_popescu | no, v is great even if painful - because it's painful to the right people, which are the people who aren't me. | [18:15] |
ben_vulpes | and only if used as a hammer and not microscope. | [18:16] |
mircea_popescu | that's the other thjing. | [18:16] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: it is also very painful to the enemy at the business end of the barrel, which is what matters | [18:16] |
mircea_popescu | that's what i said! | [18:16] |
asciilifeform | but yes, like kalash, it is not built for comfort of the wielder so much as for maximum effect. | [18:17] |

phf | mrottenkolber: unfortunately there seems to be no way to enforce security in git, no way to enable some always_gnupg flag, nor is there a mechanism to add default arguments to some builtin commands. | [21:06] |
phf | nor is there an easy way to answer "what was signed" question, short of reading source. you just have to assume that right bits go in, and that nobody's going to change what bits go in in future releases, etc. | [21:09] |
ben_vulpes | pretty good example of the "promise" end of the spectrum. | [21:21] |
phf | there's commit.gpgsign, but i don't see anything for --verify-signatures | [21:23] |

asciilifeform | the thing with the projector and photosensitive gel ? | [23:38] |
diametric | basically the vat for curing the SLA layers on is flexible, so when the print moves up a layer, the whole vat deforms in order to overcome the van der waals effect | [23:38] |
diametric | yeah | [23:38] |
asciilifeform | so looks something like the accordion from old daguerrotype camera ? | [23:39] |
mircea_popescu | more like a ball with inserts nah ? | [23:39] |
diametric | nah the vat is made out of a thin layer of FEP, so its like a clear rubber | [23:39] |

asciilifeform | i'm actually mildly surprised that mircea_popescu doesn't have a 3d printer somewhere | [23:43] |
asciilifeform | and making custom butt plugs, gags, to 5% accuracy | [23:43] |
mircea_popescu | good buttplugs are surgical steel ; good gags cured leather etc. | [23:44] |
