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 forget about using it. for anything. [17:03]
asciilifeform and porting v onto git is considerably more of a waste of time than the reins on early motorcars [17:03]
asciilifeform the WHOLE POINT of v is to ditch git and all things like it. [17:03]

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]
* Alopex (~bitcoin@cyber.dealing.ninja) has joined #bitcoin-assets [17:15]
asciilifeform the correct context in which v is to be understood is that it is: a weapon of war. [17:16]

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]
asciilifeform wake me up when it's 100 lines TOTAL [17:20]

asciilifeform you will be able to voice. [17:22]
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]

mrottenkolber will probably not be chatting that much, but I am very keen of actually starting to build some wotness. My gpg is useless right now its so bare. [17:23]
asciilifeform phf: thing is that i have no intention of ignoring the sha1 issue. sha1 is ~broken~. [17:23]
mrottenkolber yeah no, you would have to compute sha512 [17:24]
mrottenkolber which is possible, just not as convenient [17:24]

phf mrottenkolber: a better place to wire v would be mercurial's mq facility. mercurial has a way of managing plaintext patchsets, to do things like patch refresh, i.e update the contents of patch from the current tree state, mercurial managed patch press, i.e. instead of doing "manual" v press hg will keep track of state for you, etc. this will not be a way to share patches, as much as a way to facilitate vpatch authoring.

mrottenkolber I am only mentioning the sha1 option because I don't understand crypto well enough to be able to rationalize the effort of producing a file, with the same sha1sum, with an exploit while the patch still applies. [17:30]
mrottenkolber Obviously, I wouldn't bet on it. [17:31]
asciilifeform mrottenkolber: you should be able to voice yourself now. [17:32]
mrottenkolber But e.g. in my head, if you spend 70k to compute a sha1 collision, it won't look like C code probably ;-) [17:32]
mrottenkolber (complete speculation) [17:32]
asciilifeform mrottenkolber: this is not the important bit. a collision will successfully interfere with the function of automated vtrons, e.g., one where patches are thrown into a hopper unattended [17:33]

phf mercurial has a handy patch management mechanism, that unfortunatly doesn't understand nor produces vpatches. i basically verify vpatches manually, and then put them into hg's patch folder. then i do a topo sort, which gives me a mercurial compatible "series" file. i let mercurial press it using that series file. whole process is more complicated then should be with a proper mercurial support, but i hnfi how people rebase, refresh, [18:09]
phf diff, etc. without it [18:09]

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]

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]

ben_vulpes in other news, i finally put a tv in the conference room and it is now apparently the dedicated "5 hours of rocket explosions on a loop" device [21:39]

mod6 gpg libs give me ulcers [22:58]
asciilifeform mod6: there are no libs [22:59]
asciilifeform mod6: correct vtron will exponentiate inside itself. [22:59]

mod6 well, i guess i can appreciate that. i was simply going to write a V in Ada as a way to learn Ada. [23:01]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: no phthalate in abs [23:03]

asciilifeform more broadly, i have nfi what goes inside a '.git' directory, and the effort required to understand it is substantial [23:06]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform iirc abs is the more expensive sort of ink. [23:07]
asciilifeform (~understand~ meaning FULLY, as in - ~all~ edge cases) [23:07]
mrottenkolber I can recommend “Git from the bottom up”, git at its core is actually quite... minimalistic. [23:07]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the other popular feedstock is pla, which is made of corn exhaust [23:07]
asciilifeform mrottenkolber: how long is the git source and ALL dependencies. [23:07]
asciilifeform that is what i am speaking of, when i say 'understand' [23:08]
mrottenkolber and it was kind of obvious that it signs the commit object, I mean what else? [23:08]
mircea_popescu i dunno why i thought it's mostly pvc. seems not. [23:08]
asciilifeform so that'd be a hash of a hash ? [23:08]
trinque mrottenkolber: behind the words one knows there can be an expanse of rusty gears and dirty secrets [23:08]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: wtf, nobody prints pvc, good way to gasenwagen [23:08]
asciilifeform (pvc iirc releases hcl, in a room where it has been burned, electronics slowly rot away and must be written off) [23:09]
mircea_popescu well, all burned plastics release something. [23:09]
mircea_popescu abs iirc releases hcn. [23:09]
mrottenkolber asciilifeform: I hash of some metadata and a hash of tons of hashes of tns of hashes lol [23:10]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it does. [23:10]
trinque mrottenkolber: consider that as specified the total source code involved in a vtron can *decrease* drastically from here. [23:10]
mircea_popescu anyway. apparently all sorts of thing OTHER than polycarbonate are #7 now. [23:11]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: but in either case 3d printer, unless catastrophically miscalibrated, does not ignite [23:11]
mircea_popescu well done idjits for making a mess of things. [23:11]

asciilifeform the thing with the projector and photosensitive gel ? [23:38]
