mircea_popescu pretty cool if you ask me :D [10:19]
BingoBoingo Seriously, let all the agendas make fetlife lists [10:21]
mircea_popescu what's really funny to me is that there's a "social media site", with 3-4mn claimed "users". out of these 3-4mn, if 1% are actually there you're lucky, and out of those 1% if anothyer 1% is even vaguely worth the mention you're ahead of the curve. [10:22]
mircea_popescu BUT! out of all those millions... you should be surprised if like... two people get it, a month or two later. [10:22]
mircea_popescu that's where we're at, currently. crowd source means, you gotta get 4 mn "users" together to get two guys that get it two months later. [10:23]
mircea_popescu it's not even that it'd be easier to do the getting yourself, by hand. or that it'd be easier to make an eliza get it. you could actually run a school and get better results. [10:23]
mircea_popescu which is kind-of like how the us army works, too : you need 4 mn people employed by the pentagon to get two dudes shooting a rifle at the enemy two months later. [10:24]

mircea_popescu and even before that, by mark twain, who observed that gunslingers think nothing of killing random derps. [10:57]
mircea_popescu here's the actual bit : [11:01]
mircea_popescu I remember an instance of a desperado's contempt for such small game as a private citizen's life. I was taking a late supper in a restaurant one night, with two reporters and a little printer named—Brown, for instance—any name will do. Presently a stranger with a long-tailed coat on came in, and not noticing Brown's hat, which was lying in a chair, sat down on it. Little Brown sprang up and became abusive in a mome [11:01]
mircea_popescu nt. The stranger smiled, smoothed out the hat, and offered it to Brown with profuse apologies couched in caustic sarcasm, and begged Brown not to destroy him. Brown threw off his coat and challenged the man to fight—abused him, threatened him, impeached his courage, and urged and even implored him to fight; and in the meantime the smiling stranger placed himself under our protection in mock distress. But presently he [11:01]
mircea_popescu assumed a serious tone, and said: [11:01]
mircea_popescu "Very well, gentlemen, if we must fight, we must, I suppose. But don't rush into danger and then say I gave you no warning. I am more than a match for all of you when I get started. I will give you proofs, and then if my friend here still insists, I will try to accommodate him." [11:01]
mircea_popescu The table we were sitting at was about five feet long, and unusually cumbersome and heavy. He asked us to put our hands on the dishes and hold them in their places a moment—one of them was a large oval dish with a portly roast on it. Then he sat down, tilted up one end of the table, set two of the legs on his knees, took the end of the table between his teeth, took his hands away, and pulled down with his teeth till [11:01]
mircea_popescu the table came up to a level position, dishes and all! He said he could lift a keg of nails with his teeth. He picked up a common glass tumbler and bit a semi-circle out of it. Then he opened his bosom and showed us a net-work of knife and bullet scars; showed us more on his arms and face, and said he believed he had bullets enough in his body to make a pig of lead. He was armed to the teeth. He closed with the remark [11:01]
mircea_popescu that he was Mr.——of Cariboo—a celebrated name whe [11:01]
mircea_popescu so... no. it's not the race, it's the occupation. [11:01]

williamdunne Maybe I'm not remembering what varnish is correctly, but it is a middleware that serves up static HTML instead of asking the server, right? [14:29]
mircea_popescu well, yes, but it stands in front of apache [14:29]
williamdunne Yeah, its a bit like that except serverside [14:29]
williamdunne Not ideal, but better than nothing [14:29]
williamdunne (Until you find a better solution, that is) [14:30]

davout mircea_popescu: i haven't been using apache for a long long while, but maybe mod_remoteip does what you want, override the source IP by some IP it finds in an HTTP header [15:08]
mircea_popescu yes. except it doesn't run for apache 2.2.x [15:08]
davout klol [15:09]
mircea_popescu among the changes from 2.2 to 2.4 (current) ? alf will appreciate this [15:09]
mircea_popescu Apache 2.4 uses a dynamic modular structure by default. This potentially can cause problems if a LoadModule directive calls a module that was not built into the Apache binary. [15:09]
mircea_popescu EasyApache overrides Apache 2.4's default settings and builds modules statically to provide backward compatibility. [15:09]
mircea_popescu static builds are "backwards compatibility" nao [15:10]
williamdunne Is it possible to just search through your code and edit all header["ip_address"] to header["remote_ip"]? [15:10]
williamdunne Or whatever the variable is called [15:10]
mircea_popescu i could even write a perl script to do it... [15:10]
davout i don't get how the structure can be "dynamic modular" and then "cause problems" when stuff isn't built right into apache [15:10]

davout williamdunne: thought a bit about your project, sounds like a degenerate case of a stock exchange actually [15:37]
* assbot removes voice from ascii_field [15:37]
Adlai this is also why the only sane approach to programming depends upon homoiconicity... there's simply too much code for a single human to type by hand [15:37]
Adlai !up ascii_field [15:37]
* assbot gives voice to ascii_field [15:37]
williamdunne davout: Not sure why it would be degenerate, but yes. Very similar. [15:38]
williamdunne Hence >Sorta like an MPEX for people [15:38]
davout williamdunne: because if your work consists of projects X, Y, and Z you can decide to raise capital separately for each of them separately on a stock exchange, not only as "here's me, throw money at me" [15:39]
williamdunne Thats the point [15:39]
williamdunne If you believe that someone has the potential to do something great, but do not know how many attempts it may take them to do so, it allows you to bet on their success rather than the success of the current project [15:40]
davout in this case a stock market would have the advantage of making shitty stuff fail earlier [15:41]
williamdunne I'm hoping it just increases the velocity, so shitty stuff fails sooner and good stuff succeeds sooner [15:42]
davout "i didn't even get to try projects X and Y because the market told me it was retarded", on the other hand Z was pretty successful" [15:42]
williamdunne X Y and Z have a number of other metrics you can use to attain success i.e revenue growth [15:43]
davout what other metric than money did you have in mind? [15:43]
ascii_field wake me up when there is actually the money floating around to give anything serious at all its minimal take-off velocity. [15:44]
ascii_field (to a first approximation, afaik, there isn't) [15:44]
williamdunne davout: Growth of userbase etc, its not meant to be a sure-fire bet to make money [15:44]
williamdunne Its also more restrictive, as its not restricted to projects. i.e a student could use it if doing some sort of professional degree [15:46]
williamdunne Really the idea is just making it possible to invest in people rather than things [15:46]
Adlai ascii_field: on the contrary, the money is there, but it's steered by people who prefer to fund http://itsthisforthat.com/api.php?text [15:47]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1PTa7j5 ) [15:47]
williamdunne Although your issue could somewhat solved by allowing shareholders to allocate what money goes where [15:47]
ascii_field williamdunne: it is already possible. pick your favourite people and give $1m to each, in unmarked benjies. [15:48]
davout that's kind of a basic mistake here, assuming you can invest in things, if I buy a bitcoin asset I'm really investing in the people running it, not in some ethereal abstract "thing" [15:48]
davout williamdunne: shareholders being able to allocate "what money goes where" is pretty much a stock market [15:48]
williamdunne davout: If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium [15:48]
williamdunne davout: true [15:49]
mircea_popescu heh. mkay, i got it, now it's terribly broken :D [15:55]

mircea_popescu anyway, at least now i know what needs fixing [15:57]
davout williamdunne: my main point is that this is already what you're doing when buying a BTC-denominated asset that's run by someone and that your idea removes more value than what it adds to the stock exchange value proposition [16:00]

lobbes ... If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium << In this case, wouldn't you just wait until he creates the project you think -will- succeed and invest in that? [16:03]
williamdunne lobbes: Potentially so, although of course that assumes that you have the capacity to do so, and he has the capitulation to get to that point [16:04]

williamdunne What difference does it make if you have local backups and its all signed? [16:59]
williamdunne Not like they can modify the code or take it from you, just delete it from their servers [17:00]
williamdunne Hardly a dealbreaker IMO [17:00]

Adlai !s darcs [17:02]
assbot 25 results for 'darcs' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=darcs [17:02]
williamdunne You can store anything on git, so nothing stopping you from attaching signatures [17:02]
davout mircea_popescu: i think you can sign commits, also it can't really be less gpg-friendly than throwing tarballs around [17:02]
davout looking into it [17:03]
Adlai fwiw, darcs is much more friendly to the "signed patch" model of modification; git is better for 'signed code'; and neither are perfect [17:03]
Adlai (git only lets you sign merkle roots of the source code, rather than diffs) [17:04]
mats git and github is not so great [17:04]
Adlai although... signed roots are kinda what you want [17:04]
Adlai mats: what's wrong with git itself? [17:04]
davout http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work [17:04]
assbot Git - Signing Your Work ... ( http://bit.ly/1DygLSU ) [17:04]

mats overengineered, cvs is often good enough [17:05]
trinque eh [17:05]
trinque no way [17:05]
Adlai LOL [17:05]

Adlai fuck [17:05]
trinque branching is good, merging is good [17:05]
davout Adlai: c-c-c-combo breaker [17:05]
Adlai mats: shirley you're joking [17:05]
trinque having one goddamn tower that can get skullfucked by orcs is bad [17:06]
williamdunne git >>>>>>> cvs [17:06]
williamdunne I'll keep my commits thank you very much [17:06]
Adlai davout: the "sign commits" feature still essentially consists of signing a merkle root of the source tree; darks lets you sign the patch [17:06]
trinque prudent I think to discuss which DVCS to use [17:06]
trinque but DVCS by god [17:06]
Adlai there's stuff to be said for either side... tbh, it seems like signing merkle roots is what yall want [17:07]
davout Adlai: well, from what i understand of the docs, you can sign -individual commits- which is a new feature because originally it could only do what you say [17:07]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 53300 @ 0.00030083 = 16.0342 BTC [+] {3} [17:08]
davout now, how you verify them, and how you enforce mandatory signature is something else [17:08]
Adlai davout: an "individual commit" is still just a hash of the commit message + merkle root of the source tree [17:08]
trinque davout: sounds like fancy hooks [17:08]
trinque to reject bad pushes [17:08]
Adlai so, it's less convenient for signing a patch relative to an upstream repo; but is exactly what you want if you just want to have a single head to put on a stake when heardbleed 2.0 gets uncovered [17:09]
davout trinque: that's one thing, the other is: whenever i pull i want to verify it independently [17:09]
trinque indeed [17:09]
williamdunne *clone [17:09]
Adlai so you either want darcs with every single patch signed, or git [17:10]
davout Adlai: you're probably right, i think the difference isn't that important though, the point of the wot is to make an identity valuable [17:10]
Adlai git has the advantage of a single signature covering the entire current state; darcs has the advantage of letting a single signature cover changes alone. it's really a question of use case [17:10]
Adlai the real problem is technophobia, "I trust nothing other than butterflies and sed" [17:11]
Adlai ... but whence the sed binary? [17:11]
ascii_field not the git thing again [17:11]
davout they're functionally equivalent, but i guess that if darcs is a better fit, why not [17:12]
Adlai they're not! the darcs model would've let mircea_popescu submit a single fix to apache, whereas the git model requires him to sign the entire apache source tree [17:12]
* assbot removes voice from ascii_field [17:13]
Adlai !up ascii_field [17:13]
* assbot gives voice to ascii_field [17:13]
davout Adlai: they're functionnaly equivalent, not identical, the functionality in this case being the identification of the head to chop off [17:13]
Adlai either approach lets you determine which fingers inserted which code [17:14]
williamdunne davout: How is that different to git? You can blame individual lines of coding using git [17:14]
davout Adlai: that's exactly my point [17:14]
ascii_field git is pernicious for safety-critical code because it - however slightly - reduces the expectation that every line of diff is attentively read [17:14]
trinque this is a social problem [17:15]
ascii_field by making it easy to process heavy diffs [17:15]
trinque not a technology problem [17:15]
trinque max commit size and beatings [17:15]
davout ^this [17:15]
ascii_field i do -not- want nonhumanreadable state in source. [17:15]
ascii_field it is an abomination. [17:15]
Adlai what's 'nonhumanreadable'? [17:15]
ascii_field can't be cat'd to a vt100. [17:16]
ascii_field or line printer. [17:16]
davout ascii_field: is a tarball human readable? [17:16]
trinque gits data model is... lemme see if I can remember; it's been a while since I wrote a postgresql fdw into it [17:16]
williamdunne https://github.com/davout/bitcoin-central/blame/master/lib/liberty_reserve/client.rb [17:16]
assbot bitcoin-central/lib/liberty_reserve/client.rb at master · davout/bitcoin-central · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1DyjOKS ) [17:16]
trinque commit points to other commits and a tree, tree points to tree entries, which point to blobs [17:16]
davout williamdunne: whiskey tango foxtrot [17:16]
ascii_field davout: if uncompressed - very much so [17:16]
trinque all things are blobs, even the aforementioned [17:16]
trinque keys are hashes [17:16]
trinque what's not to understand [17:16]
williamdunne davout: blame tool [17:16]
trinque then you have the tool atop that data model which yes, has all kinds of bullshit [17:17]
trinque but the data model itself is easily understood [17:17]
trinque and inspectable by human eyes [17:17]
Adlai trinque: darcs is even simpler, but has the disadvantage (which was previously mentioned as an advantage!) of allowing people to submit changes which cause malicious behavior when combined with previously-signed changes [17:17]
davout williamdunne: look what's your point here? that one can git-blame? [17:17]
williamdunne pretty much [17:17]
davout williamdunne: everybody fucking knows that [17:17]
trinque lol [17:17]
Adlai williamdunne: the problem here is more one of convincing ascii_field that there exists trustworthyness outside of his own skull [17:18]
williamdunne Ah okay, not sure if I can help with that. [17:18]
trinque so the process of establishing trust should be human and involve eyes [17:18]
trinque the process of managing a bunch of feature branches and shit, I want a tool [17:18]
trinque doing that manually doesn't make me smarter. [17:18]
Adlai signed tarballs are still corruptible, if your tar (or gpg) binary is diddled [17:18]
trinque everything is [17:18]
Adlai really this is all masturbation until we have a by-hand constructible fab [17:19]
trinque !rate dickhead -10 committed 1000 lines of god knows what [17:19]
assbot dickhead is not registered in WoT. [17:19]
trinque that's how you fix that [17:19]
* Adlai dogwalks and drinks away the shittiness of modern computing [17:20]
davout ascii_field: would you have no problem with a tool that you can bypass, and build the source with the actual signed commits ? [17:21]
Adlai sorry, not just regular old wanking - *competitive* masturbation [17:21]
* chetty has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [17:21]
davout according to Adlai it isn't really practical to do with git, however, if darcs can output actual clearsigned diffs that would allow one to re-construct the same source tree by hand and check the sigs manually [17:22]
ascii_field davout: problem is not just the build [17:22]
ascii_field davout: but that git etc make adding crud easy [17:22]
Adlai davout: it's doable with git, although requires numerous calls to sha256sum and building 'ls' output by hand [17:23]
ascii_field and creates the expectation of using git [17:23]
Adlai darcs is much easier to reproduce by hand, since it's JUST applying signed patches [17:23]
trinque ascii_field: doesn't this apply to the use of power tools? [17:23]
trinque shouldn't use them because an idiot will just end up without an arm? [17:23]
davout ascii_field: i'm with trinque here, it's a social problem, not to be solved by tools [17:23]
Adlai trinque: this applies to the use of silicon that you didn't forge yourself [17:23]
davout but by the wot [17:23]
Adlai ascii_field is just choosing to trust intel/amd/etc [17:23]
trinque right, I can guarantee at least that I have no qualms screaming at a person that's done wrong [17:24]
ascii_field Adlai: it is a mistake to conclude that i trust [17:24]
Adlai well, we're choosig a point at which we give up on paranoia as overly hampering [17:24]
Adlai and arguing over where exactly that point is [17:24]
ascii_field notice that you -can- use git etc personally, no prob [17:24]
ascii_field but this is not what git aficionados want. they expect -me- to use it if i want to participate [17:25]
ascii_field and to have the canonical representation of the project be a git turd [17:25]
trinque well, the social experiment would be instructive, would it not? [17:25]
* Adlai is making too many typos to continue participating in the discourse [17:25]
ascii_field trinque: go 'experiment' with boeing's avionics code [17:26]
Adlai last thought: a signed-patch-dev mailing list, and some trivial darcs wrapper that consumes attachments from that mailing list to frob any random repository, whether git, darks, or - for mats's's benefit - cvs. left as an exercise to the reader. [17:26]
ascii_field will be an interesting social experiment, yes [17:26]
trinque ascii_field: if people cannot be brought to obey processes, how can any group activity ever occur? [17:26]
Adlai note that darcs does NOTHING beyond 'patch -p1 < thingy' [17:27]
trinque ^ [17:27]
ascii_field Adlai: go ahead and use it then [17:27]
ascii_field but don't expect me to [17:27]
Adlai it needs to be written first :) [17:27]
* Adlai dogwalk [17:27]
ascii_field wtf is so hard to understand re: 'the canonical representation of the project must be human-readable' ? [17:27]
trinque it should be noted that ascii_field's profession as I understand it is knowing how attacks occur [17:27]
trinque and I respect that [17:28]
trinque and "speed" of development should not be a value [17:28]
ascii_field trinque: it is a mistake to conclude that i am bringing deep wisdom from some 'respectable society' profession here. i am deliberately and profanely pissing on 'best practices' [17:29]
trinque ascii_field: seems you should write up what you think is an appropriate process for maintaining a "mainline" branch [17:29]
trinque ascii_field: I am referring to you, not an industry [17:29]
ascii_field why? because we have a little problem with vermin, in computing [17:29]
ascii_field and the only solution, at this point, is neutron bomb [17:29]
trinque certainly [17:29]
ascii_field i don't have the neutron bomb yet. so we're stuck with flamethrowers [17:29]
davout ascii_field: i hear your points [17:30]
ascii_field but even so, anyone who wants - davout, trinque, et al - can use favourite versioncontrolsystem at home [17:30]
trinque ascii_field: I would be pleased with a process that allowed for that, but that there is only one route to "released" [17:30]
trinque and think you're on the money re: how that should operate [17:30]
ascii_field i mean, when you write own contributions, you can generate them however you like [17:31]
ascii_field so long as the output is a unix patch [17:31]
trinque sure, I see room for collaborating on feature branches though [17:32]
ascii_field incidentally, for readers unfamiliar with the overall thread, the project under discussion - therealbitcoin - does not belong to me. it is run by ben_vulpes and mod6. who appear to agree with my position here. [17:32]
trinque ben_vulpes uses git in his day to day work, and I'm sure for a reason [17:33]
trinque or if not that some other dvcs [17:33]
ascii_field it is worth repeating precisely -why- i specified 'unix patches' to be the canonical representations [17:33]
williamdunne Maybe there is a good reason why this would not work, but could you not just generate an XML file that contains the names of all the files, a hash of each file, and then sign the XML? Could be automated fairly easily and would work on top of existing solutions [17:33]
ascii_field the ultimate product is to be a series of -human-auditable- diffs, each small and extremely narrowly focused, starting from classical bitcoind 0.5.3. [17:33]
ascii_field this is to establish -pedigree- [17:33]
trinque williamdunne: XML nein [17:34]
williamdunne trinque: some sort of record of the files and shasums then [17:34]
ascii_field williamdunne: we have this. 'manifest' [17:34]
trinque williamdunne: this is what the tree in git already is [17:34]
trinque pile of hashes and blobs they refer to [17:34]
ascii_field it is how i specified a de-crufted subset of 0.5.3's files on day 1 [17:34]
ascii_field (diff does not offer a simple way to say 'deleted whole file') [17:35]
trinque so it lacks information [17:35]
ascii_field trinque: my opposition to git et al as canonical representations is because they have -any- 'behind the scenes' components. [17:35]
trinque I agree 100% that "canonical" as the outside world is made to see it should not be a git repo [17:35]
ascii_field as well as reasons listed earlier. [17:35]
trinque and understand your rationale [17:36]
trinque I think hackers here would just like to collaborate via something other than email [17:36]
trinque it's a shitty interface and I'm not dealing with it [17:36]
trinque doesn't make me feel smart to pluck a patch from an email attachment [17:36]
ascii_field trinque: automate. [17:36]
trinque and that approaches dvcs [17:37]
ascii_field and pluck from jurov's www forum. [17:37]
ascii_field trinque: no, it does not. because there is no hidden state. [17:37]
trinque I don't agree with "hidden" re: the state of git [17:37]
trinque but then I've been all through the internals of it [17:37]
ascii_field what's in a '.git' ? [17:37]
ascii_field and more importantly, wtf should i have to care [17:37]
trinque database of hashes and binary wads [17:37]
trinque it's just a key value store [17:38]
ascii_field and before long folks will want forking/branching [17:38]
trinque this is sensible, sometimes work begins on a feature that's later abandoned [17:38]
ascii_field and then comes the use of central server, and of ssl [17:38]
trinque or postponed [17:38]
trinque naaah [17:38]
trinque git solves this problem, and I can even email you a patch directly out of git [17:38]
ascii_field trinque: how is branching not hidden state ? [17:38]
trinque explain to me what is hidden [17:38]
trinque that it is a binary db? [17:39]
ascii_field i can't pipe a branched repo to a line printer [17:39]

davout if darcs is able to output clearsigned unix patches i really don't see a reason not to use it, we can still review small individual units of work, and ascii_field's patches integrate gracefully [17:39]
ascii_field use it, so long as i don't have to know anything about it [17:39]
trinque to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care [17:39]
trinque yes [17:39]
mircea_popescu in other news, noiw im getting shit like Host: Hx92_x02 in the logs. [17:39]
mircea_popescu can't possibly be a problem rite ? [17:40]
ascii_field trinque: and if any of you produce a 100kB patch, and i barf on general principle and refuse to have anything more to do with project, don't say i didn't warn that vcs is harmful. [17:40]
davout trinque: "to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care" <<< that should be the criteria [17:40]
ascii_field for the record, i use all kinds of odd tools internally [17:40]
ascii_field but would never expect other folks to take that kind of radiation damage [17:41]
davout ascii_field: that's what's being said, it's a good tool if ascii_field doesn't know about it :D [17:41]
ascii_field aha. [17:41]
trinque I agree [17:42]
ascii_field when i suddenly am expected to care what's in some xml turd, or expose a box to the net just to fetch changes, or similar atrocities - i reach for barf bag [17:42]
trinque I promise to barf myself if XML creeps in [17:43]

trinque to synthesize one point from that pile, I want the computer to strongly enforce relationships for me, not to mindlessly build because I'm too lazy [17:56]
jurov trinque, it uses SHA1 as ID [17:58]
trinque what does [17:58]
trinque git, yeah [17:59]
trinque this is a hypothetical [17:59]
mod6 the mailing list [17:59]
trinque ah ok [17:59]
jurov no, btc-dev mailinglist it even renames the recognized signed attachemnts so [17:59]
trinque so where's the tree of hashes that tells me what builds towards the release [18:00]
trinque some email somewhere [18:00]
trinque structured data is pretty cool. [18:00]
jurov if you can propose some format for this accepted by stakeholder like alf, you're welcome [18:01]
jurov it's shell scripts atm [18:01]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-04-2015#1113919 << and what is then your remaining incentive to realise any future income ? [18:25]
assbot Logged on 28-04-2015 16:33:22; williamdunne: i.e I sell 40% of all my future income for xx btc today [18:25]
mircea_popescu this was kinda popular with "artists" thinking themsleves above prostitution on myfreecams and etsy. [18:25]
mircea_popescu it never took off. [18:25]
williamdunne mircea_popescu: Getting to keep the other 60% [18:25]
mircea_popescu unless you pull a bugsy and sell 500% [18:26]
williamdunne Sure. That can be prevented though [18:26]
mircea_popescu o it can ? [18:26]
williamdunne That exact problem could exist with regular stocks. Whats the incentive for Exxon to keep generating revenue? Start up, sell out, cash out, bro down [18:27]
williamdunne Yeah, don't let them sell 500% of their income [18:27]
trinque who doesn't let them [18:28]
williamdunne The operator, its not like they're selling 40% of £40,000/year, they're selling 40% of whatever they make, with no guarantees of said figure [18:28]
trinque why invest in workers when you can invest in the businesses that own them? [18:29]
mike_c this HYIP sounds awesome. put me down for 500% of it. [18:30]
williamdunne trinque: Because people live on a different timeperiod to the company in many cases [18:30]
williamdunne *are alive for [18:30]
trinque eh that's just shitty businesses [18:31]
williamdunne if(percentage > 100) [18:31]
williamdunne return "fuck off" [18:31]
mircea_popescu ... [18:31]
mike_c s/100/0/ [18:31]
mircea_popescu im not sure you understand the difference between natural and constructive persons [18:32]
jurov why can't you just get normal loan? [18:32]
mircea_popescu but let's indulge : exxon can't smoke fucking dope. [18:32]
mircea_popescu EVERY human looking to sell his future is into smoking dope. [18:32]
williamdunne And thats part of the risk [18:32]
williamdunne jurov: Maybe you can, this is an alternative. [18:33]
trinque no that's it; the more you're willing to sell your future the higher risk "investment" you are [18:33]
trinque williamdunne: ^ [18:33]
williamdunne Indeed, I'm not talking bout some sort of service where 100 people deposit money and then a "money manager" decides who to invest in [18:34]
williamdunne The entire point is its meant to be risky as shit [18:35]
mike_c mircea_popescu: you could install nginx and not install varnish. it will cache shit quite nicely [18:36]
williamdunne Its not really a unique idea though, been done twice as far as I can tell. Both started in US but had obvious legal issues come up [18:36]
jurov oh it has been done many millions of times [18:37]
jurov like, parents invest into you nd then expect to get a "reasonable" part of your income [18:37]

mircea_popescu mike_c yeah, im a day wasted in here. i could waste another one. sure. [18:38]
mircea_popescu excelt niginx also won't work. [18:38]
mircea_popescu for reasons. [18:38]
jurov williamdunne: so why do you want to undergo this, when most everyone hates it? [18:39]
williamdunne jurov: Did quite well on the other platforms until the SEC stepped in, not particularly large time investment needs to be made. [18:39]
trinque jurov: sounds like someone who doesn't deserve a loan begging with "no dude, I'll like, do anything, man!" [18:40]
* mogreen has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [18:40]
trinque the recourse for that person is to go find someone for whom to tape boxes shut [18:40]
trinque not to be handed more money to waste [18:40]
jurov williamdunne: that's not answer to "why" [18:40]
trinque aside from the foolishness of this from an investment perspective, it's not helping the guy any [18:41]
jurov trinque: ikr. but want to see the thought process why it supposedly beats other alternatives [18:42]
trinque on the other side sure, if you've got goons (read: massive govt) to beat payment out of people, loan sharking is great [18:42]
williamdunne jurov: "Because potentially it could make money, its an excuse to learn more tech, and there is little risk in terms of what I could lose by doing it" [18:42]
mircea_popescu ok, so the sad story of my wasted day : first, instlaled varnish in 10 minutes, but then spent 4 hours trying to get ip forwarding. [18:43]
mircea_popescu finally found a way to do that. EXCEPT it injects random data at random intervals, i end up with "ips" like "8�b]" [18:43]
mircea_popescu and well... spend another 4 hours debugging that. [18:43]
mircea_popescu lesson learned ... do not try to actually use software. [18:43]
mircea_popescu it's not usable. [18:44]
mike_c nginx always works. I have never been disappointed in it. Recommending shit to people is always a -EV process, but.. [18:44]
mircea_popescu it would have been cheaper to buy a server. if i were to bill 8 hours it'd be enough to buy a fucking rack, and that's for doing stuff i actually like doing. [18:44]
jurov haven't i wrote somewhere that every productive day ends with patch or bugreport? [18:46]
mircea_popescu so you have. [18:46]
jurov and i don't enjoy that, too. but such is life. [18:46]

mircea_popescu see jurov, the thing is... i have the OPTION to not own obscure exotic cars whose maker went out of business shortly after starting because he sucked. [18:54]
mircea_popescu i can buy a fucking bmw. [18:54]
mircea_popescu there ISNT a bmw here. it's varnish or nginx. that's it. not like i'm running unheard-of-software [18:54]
jurov and you can not have trilema running on php [18:55]
mircea_popescu like sealion or w/e [18:55]
jurov redo in in CL [18:55]
mircea_popescu what'd i run it on ? [18:55]
mircea_popescu lmao ok. [18:55]
mircea_popescu and where do i find a cl server ? [18:55]
jurov you have your own dc last i remember [18:55]
trinque this is why I'd like a small board for the embedded space that does very little, and runs a lisp [18:55]

mircea_popescu the fact that i own a gas station does in no way alleviate the problem that laurel&hardy cars. [18:56]
trinque taking on the whole goddamn space is an enormous challenge to say the least [18:56]
mircea_popescu ascii_field works way better than this shit, ftr. [18:56]
ascii_field ahahahahaha [18:56]
mircea_popescu it.does. [18:56]
ascii_field ok i'll bite. how do i remove apache and get nginx [18:56]
ascii_field all traces of apache [18:57]
mircea_popescu nginx works atop apache [18:57]
jurov what???? [18:57]
ascii_field wat?!! [18:57]
mircea_popescu srsly. [18:57]
ascii_field mno. [18:57]
mircea_popescu in cpanelworld, yeah it does. [18:57]
mircea_popescu it's a proxy for apache. [18:57]
ascii_field this feels like using winblows [18:58]
mircea_popescu it IS [18:58]
ascii_field i was even about to use the apache (all i need is to proxy to my proggy which has own http stack) but then i find that there is no /etc/apache2 [18:59]
ascii_field and that the motherfucking cpanel thing puts it fuck knows where [18:59]
jurov i have everything built as nginx OR apache(never both of them) in extra process, PHP/Perl/Python in extra process(es) [18:59]
trinque every bakery should have their own software team because no real scotsman would pay someone else to do that [18:59]
trinque the lack of a turnkey solution here is absurd, just a shitty industry [19:00]
jurov nothing like mod_php monstrosities [19:00]
ascii_field *why* is it not in the standard location ? [19:00]
ascii_field what kind of dope had to be taken, to conceive of this ? [19:00]
trinque why is the standard location not enforced? [19:00]
jurov standard location on debian is /etc/httpd [19:01]
ascii_field should be enforced using club with nails [19:01]
jurov or it was redhat, dunno [19:01]
* trinque will yet have to be persuaded that the relational model does not solve all this [19:01]
trinque system state should be a database, if a simple and perhaps even plaintext one [19:02]
mircea_popescu ascii_field it's called httpd not appache 2 in centos [19:02]
mircea_popescu because REASONS [19:02]
ascii_field aha [19:02]
jurov ^yes [19:02]
mircea_popescu note it is rhel's fault. [19:02]
trinque "hm I didn't like that change I made to the system" << rollback [19:02]
mircea_popescu not cpanel's. [19:02]
trinque "config file is munged" << schema [19:02]
trinque and constriants [19:02]
ascii_field and where are 'sites-available' ? [19:02]
jurov trunque use btrfs? [19:02]
trinque jurov: getting closer yeah [19:02]
trinque but it has to know data structure and barf when it's not followed [19:02]
trinque it needs a reflection system; I want to interrogate the system about its structure [19:04]
trinque I want to be able to declare into that representation of structure new structures [19:04]
trinque in the same way I declare data [19:04]
trinque we were trying to build this at my last job, and fucked it up entirely with braindead concepts from the web space [19:05]
trinque the answer is probably not for example "build all into postgres" as we were doing [19:05]
jurov trinque you need omniprescient entity that declares forever usable schema [19:05]
mircea_popescu ascii_field but while we're doing the "what dope" thing, why the fuck is apache "apache2" [19:05]
ascii_field because there was a mega-rewrite once [19:05]
mircea_popescu so ? [19:05]
trinque jurov: explain? [19:06]
mircea_popescu trinque hardest problem in cs this, dude. naming. [19:06]
trinque yeah, so you need to be able to change structure easily [19:07]
mircea_popescu take the dewey decimal system. [19:07]
jurov every schema-based system ended up with bags of backward compatibility [19:07]
trinque views and actions against the reflection layer [19:07]
williamdunne Guessing some people wanted to kick it old school and not move to the re-write, and there was enough of them that apache updated got called apache2, but thats just a guess [19:07]
mircea_popescu it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level. [19:07]
trinque jurov: yeah views [19:07]
mircea_popescu williamdunne it's exactly what it iwas, and exactly why i asked him the question. [19:07]
trinque relational algebra is the best model I'm aware of for deriving all needed representations of data [19:07]
trinque and you can easily with something that isn't braindead SQL imagine a model where the canonical representation can be changed, and new views derived from the operation taken to produce the new representation [19:08]
jurov wtf views? [19:08]
trinque so operations against the system must also be data [19:08]
jurov how will views solve that in version 1 you have a name=value and in version 2 you need list? [19:08]
trinque jurov: I cannot see how it *doesn't* solve that [19:09]
mircea_popescu he makes them all a tree. [19:09]
mircea_popescu including the leaves. [19:09]
mircea_popescu of the leaves. [19:09]
BingoBoingo it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level. << No, only on the top level... After that you wade into the horror of Cutter numbers [19:09]
mircea_popescu only needs infinity diskspace to declare a constant. [19:09]
trinque no [19:09]
* ascii_field is blithering at the sheer amount of litter that cpanel leaves in every conceivable aspect of system [19:09]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo cutter numbers are a kludgy bolt-on! [19:09]
trinque postgresql can easily produce an array from columns in rows [19:09]
trinque that is an aggregation [19:09]
ascii_field there's perhaps half a meg of generated 'do not edit!!!111!!!' crapolade in every config [19:09]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Kludgy and bolted on to original spec [19:10]
mircea_popescu ascii_field hey, it's data! [19:10]
trinque I can also easily produce a new table which materializes the output of some view [19:10]
trinque I can then delete the base table and call the new materialized table the canonical data [19:10]
trinque and this ad nauseum [19:10]
mircea_popescu so what's keeping you!!eleven [19:10]
trinque the point here is missed; I'm probably not articulating it well [19:10]
mircea_popescu speaking of : mind making deedbot- autovoice yet ? [19:11]
trinque sure, last weekend was eaten by work, but I'll try to work it in soon [19:12]
trinque couple days or so [19:12]
mircea_popescu coo [19:12]
trinque mircea_popescu: what I was referring to above is like the system catalog in SQL [19:12]
trinque lets say you alter a table with some operation; were that operation data, you could programmatically alter views against the old version to be compatible with the new, to some extent [19:13]
trinque obviously if information was lost in the change, you cannot [19:13]
trinque but if the AST of the queries is represented as data you can find that out by joining it against the schema [19:13]

williamdunne "Adlai envisions 'wothub' as a content-addressable signed patchstore" well its doable, but I only have 'x' amount of time [19:51]
trinque the idea needs further development before anyone executes [19:52]
trinque may end up comprised entirely of local tooling [19:52]
williamdunne Yeah, I've not done much when it comes to native applications so anything client-side isn't really my boat [19:53]
williamdunne Don't even know my way around gcc properly [19:53]
jurov i don't get it. "by content addressable" i understand somthing like putting sha1 sum in the URL [19:54]
jurov and what is "patchstore" supposed to to what "store" is not [19:54]
* williamdunne still doesn't understand whats wrong with git and pgp sigs [19:55]
ben_vulpes williamdunne: git makes it easy to pretend to work on a codebase by reindenting things [19:56]
ben_vulpes makes large merges too easy, is at least one of asciilifeform's objections [19:56]
ben_vulpes makes it less likely for people to review changes. [19:56]
jurov and i think other was that git stores them in opaque database. you cannot go to .git and start reading [19:57]
trinque the earlier thread I think well represented the lay of the land [19:57]
trinque having the canonical representation plaintext and readable I think is a fine thing [19:57]
mats ben_vulpes: windows for fun and profit [19:57]
trinque having history machine readable and enforced is I think also a fine thing [19:57]
trinque from there, perhaps no existing tool satisfies both [19:57]
jurov i don't remember anything about enforcing history [19:58]

ben_vulpes wat? [19:59]
jurov not you, trinque [19:59]
jurov anyway, primary is there's verifiable autorship and readable content of patches, plus clear repeatable way to combine the patches [20:01]
williamdunne One of those is a social issue, the other is solved by not accepting pulls from dickheads, no? [20:01]
trinque jurov: indeed, that last bit is what I've been harping on [20:02]
ben_vulpes williamdunne: what is a pull? [20:02]
jurov triuque yes, but it does not necessarily equal to managing history [20:03]
williamdunne ben_vulpes: I don't know if this exists outside of GitHub (I rather assumed it does) but when you fork a repo so its your own version of it, you make changes to your own copy and then request that your changes are merged into the core repo [20:03]
trinque pull requests are github [20:03]
mircea_popescu the idea needs further development before anyone executes << he has a point, and while attempted executions would prlly be useful iterations, it IS a timesink. [20:03]
ben_vulpes no, that's the point i wish to make. you're conflating github with git. [20:03]
ben_vulpes and i'm not even an expert on the finer points of the vcexen in the wild. [20:04]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes i suspect in this sense git may be TOO easy to use. at least in some aspects. [20:04]
williamdunne Ah, my bad. [20:04]
ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: dude i guarantee you that git is too easy to use. [20:04]
ben_vulpes not only for mission-critical shit like therealbitcoin, but even my own work. [20:05]
Adlai jurov: actually, you can go to .git and start reading to a much larger degree than you can do so for .darcs; git provides a provably-attributable signed directory (ie, signed file hierarchy), whereas darcs is a signed diff from... whatever th efuck came before it [20:05]
jurov yes, linus t. pulls changes from email, not using github [20:05]
trinque this idea that the tool controls the user's behavior is absurd [20:05]
trinque maybe when dealing with children [20:05]
trinque this is a distinct point from advocating git [20:05]
trinque the tool does not drive the fucking user [20:05]

mircea_popescu no, but that's not the angle being discussed. [20:08]
mircea_popescu the angle being discussed is : give a man a hammer, suddenly he's looking for nails. [20:08]
mircea_popescu tools drive behaviour. in spades. [20:08]

mircea_popescu all the derpy parents that "invest" in their children are making a stylistic choice of words, nothing more. it's a waste not an investment. [20:16]
williamdunne At what point does expenditure become investment? [20:18]
ben_vulpes never. [20:18]
ben_vulpes investment is predicated on a return. [20:18]
mircea_popescu ima have to dig up that ancient article somehow... [20:18]
williamdunne If you expect expenditure to result in a return? [20:18]
mircea_popescu rationally ? [20:19]
ben_vulpes this return cannot be "happiness" or any such. [20:19]
mircea_popescu does your expenditure CAUSE the return ? is it merely coincidental with the return ? is it merely halucinatorily related ? [20:19]
williamdunne I mean monetary [20:19]
mircea_popescu oh i c. [20:19]
ben_vulpes much as the girlies would like to "invest in their quality of life", such is just purchasing a big of hedonism. [20:19]

BingoBoingo obviously, and so you're going to have every soldier cast the metal for his own gun? << Unreasonabru, but Officers outfitting their soldiers to the Officer's chosen spec has ample historical precedent [20:20]
trinque much more reasonable [20:20]
mircea_popescu williamdunne let's go through this, it will be instructive. so, case III, halucinatorily related. [20:22]
mircea_popescu guy pays fortune teller for good stuff in the future. good stuff happens in the future. [20:22]
mircea_popescu the relation between the "investment" and the "return" is purely hallucinated. [20:23]
mircea_popescu case II : coincidental. guy buys lottery ticket. someone wins the lottery. [20:23]
williamdunne someone, or guy? [20:23]
mircea_popescu while it's true that the somebody who wins might even be the guy, the fact remains that someone'd win whether the guy bought or didn't buy ticket. [20:23]
mircea_popescu same thing with "investing in children". sure, you send schmuck to college, and someone 20 years later is going to be well educated. [20:24]
mircea_popescu maybe your schmuck. maybe not. [20:24]
* badon has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [20:24]
mircea_popescu case I : causal. this satisfies both implication : with investment there NECESSARILY exists return ; without investment there NECESSARILY doesn't exist return. [20:24]
mircea_popescu like, guy going to homestead in 1800s utah. if he goes, there's going to be his homestead. if he doesn't go... there isn't going to be. [20:25]

mircea_popescu essentially, you(before the deal) and you(after the deal) are different and irreconciliably so. [20:32]
williamdunne Ah okay, I see the difference now [20:32]
mircea_popescu while before the deal your incentive might have been to realise future income, [20:32]
mircea_popescu after the deal your incentive is to sell more future income for its present value. [20:32]

asciilifeform normally this is achieved by having apache (or nginx) pass through to, e.g., python [21:21]
mircea_popescu you want a python script to be executed on page load ? [21:22]
asciilifeform it isn't a script [21:22]
asciilifeform it's a continuous process [21:22]
asciilifeform that serves up http [21:22]
asciilifeform read the src if interested (under the user i created) [21:22]
asciilifeform simplest possible thing [21:22]
mircea_popescu so you have your own web server written in python ? [21:22]
asciilifeform not own, l0l [21:22]
mircea_popescu move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours. [21:23]
asciilifeform the whole thing was written in about a day, if you recall, in a mighty hurry [21:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: again i don't want python serving up statics [21:23]
asciilifeform because it is ludicrous [21:23]
mircea_popescu then have python drop the statics in /home/whatever and apache will automagically serve them ? [21:23]
asciilifeform would like to run the fucking app without changes [21:25]
asciilifeform like normal people. [21:25]
asciilifeform on normal computer. [21:25]
mircea_popescu cpanel has nothing to do with this. [21:25]
asciilifeform normal people can get mod_wsgi if they want it. [21:26]
asciilifeform cpanel - no. [21:26]
asciilifeform normal people can get -pure- nginx [21:26]
asciilifeform cpanel - again, no [21:26]
mircea_popescu move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours. < [21:26]
asciilifeform and apache still runs, eats cycles for fuck knows what [21:27]
mircea_popescu and if python.h fails, you prolly don't have th epaths set up right, it'll fai lthe same with or without some derpy package manager. [21:27]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform well actually it wouldn't run, especially if you kill that port in firewall. [21:27]
mircea_popescu but you can stop the service in any case. [21:28]
asciilifeform still end up with cpanelism autogenned crapolade in every single fucking thing in /etc [21:28]
asciilifeform hence the traditional 'cpanel is not removable' dictum [21:28]
* mircea_popescu shrugs [21:29]
mircea_popescu linux doesn't work. any of it. picking some random idiocy to make an example of is futile. [21:29]
mircea_popescu gentoo is a piece of shit. debian is a piece of shit. centos is a piece of shit. [21:29]
mircea_popescu apache is a piece of shiot. so is nginx. so is everytrhiong else. [21:29]
* asciilifeform genuinely wonders if mircea_popescu ever runs any www gadget that isn't a php bloggatron [21:29]
mircea_popescu nothing works, everything';s made by idiots. [21:29]
mircea_popescu nope. why would i even bother with www except for a blog [21:30]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu is almost but not entirely right. we are, for instance, presently speaking through an ancient atlantian tech that sorta works. [21:30]
mircea_popescu oh get the fuck out. ircd ? THIS works ? [21:30]
asciilifeform i said 'sorta worx' [21:30]
mircea_popescu SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! [21:31]
asciilifeform l0l [21:31]
mircea_popescu foss, the wonderful world of 90% [21:31]
mircea_popescu "we almost did a job!!1" [21:31]
mircea_popescu this, btw, is my constraint. fuck "fits in head", i dun care. [21:31]
mircea_popescu DO.THEWHOLE.JOB. [21:31]
asciilifeform 'fits in head' is how you actually -know- that x 'did whole job' [21:32]
asciilifeform anything else - is conjecture. [21:32]
* menahem has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) [21:32]
mircea_popescu indeed. [21:32]
asciilifeform it is also how you know that x did -nothing but- whole job. [21:32]
asciilifeform so 'fits in head' is 'part of a balanced diet' with 'does whole job' (otherwise brick 'fits in head') [21:32]
mircea_popescu aham. [21:33]
mircea_popescu kinda why i'm discovering all i really like off unix these days is like... curl. grep. [21:33]

asciilifeform how the everliving fuck is cpanel used with anything other than php/static wwwtron [22:01]
mircea_popescu jurov what is ? [22:08]
pete_dushenski BingoBoingo mainly in terms of st louis being known for murders and crimes, and that a proper boiling over of the tensions between police and citizens could bring about positive resolution, whoever 'wins' [22:08]
mircea_popescu lol @the prostitution=alimony thing. [22:09]
