pete_dushenski: but with "railcar" of goodies, surely there's something for everyone [14:44]
asciilifeform: most of it not worth cost of transport [14:45]
asciilifeform: ( the , dunno, 50, cubometres of dead tree, say ) [14:46]
pete_dushenski: did asciilifeform have a list of railcar contents posted on blog yet ? you never know what's worth or not worth shipping... [14:46]
asciilifeform: listed most of what's worth talking about, in the log. [14:47]
pete_dushenski: link to list of dead tree cubometres ? musta missed it [14:48]
asciilifeform: ah no that's not done yet [14:48]
pete_dushenski: aite [14:48]
asciilifeform: prolly the 1 item that might interest people is the full set of bolix docs [14:48]
asciilifeform: ( occupies whole shelf ) [14:49]
pete_dushenski: why do you always guess what other ppl will be interested in ? i really do think you'd be surprised if you stopped with the commentary and just listed everything [14:49]
asciilifeform: because wtf, it isn't worth ~my~ time to catalogue every old toaster in the kitchen, and everypiece of dead tree rubbish that one could get for fiddycents from 'bookfinder' etc [14:51]
asciilifeform: uniques/rarities strictly. [14:51]
asciilifeform: at any rate, can't say that it's a very urgent thing -- prolly >1yr to launch day, for asciilifeform [14:53]
pete_dushenski: ya not saying don't prioritise, just hard to imagine that you have only bolix and encyclopediae that qualify as "uniques/rarities". you're like a walking library and nihil fit ex nihilo. in my mind your library looks like http://images.mentalfloss.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/6551303327_bb9ac1f5d6_z-565x376.jpg [14:54]

phf: pete_dushenski: that's a common misconception, i suspect asciilifeform's library consists of like 200-300 books, that are heavily annotated, because other books, while really nice to have, is a pain in the ass to manage, so you just cull to the current essentials and somehow source whatever's missing later.

asciilifeform: i did see it on weekday lol [18:03]
asciilifeform: enjoyed timis far moar ftr. [18:03]
asciilifeform: ( where, e.g., sidewalks can be walked on, rather than used as ad hoc orc parking lot ) [18:04]
spyked: I was firmly convinced your verdict would be "~shithole" (at least mircea_popescu's was some years ago). [18:04]
asciilifeform: bucharest ? [18:05]
spyked: yes [18:05]
asciilifeform: it's still a notch or two ahead of, e.g., chicago [18:05]
asciilifeform: and for that matter most of usa [18:05]
asciilifeform: at least written in terms of 'bang per buck' [18:05]
asciilifeform: and the parts of usa that it ~isn't~ two notches ahead of, asciilifeform will never live in [18:06]
asciilifeform: so it's still a winner. [18:06]
spyked: in other news, I've been using most of my spare cycles lisping in ada. should be able to wrap up a blog post sharing a very minimal prototype (sane implem. of repl doing nothing but basic ops) in a few weeks. what I've got now adheres to most of ffa constraints. the current version isn't very clean, but getting there... [18:07]
asciilifeform: spyked: nifty [18:07]
asciilifeform: tinyscheme-like item as discussed here ? [18:07]
spyked: yes. hopefully more than that in the long term (item to be manually translated to e.g. fpga implementation) [18:08]

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-12#1736759 << linked item is unpleasantly reminiscent of the 'artificially smoked' sprats that flooded the market in the early 2000s [18:08]

asciilifeform: spyked: my original notion was, sane ecosystem is direly short of a simple scripting lang [18:09]
asciilifeform: ( i'd quite like to perma-anathemize python,perl,all the multi-GB-pots-of-liquishit ) [18:10]
asciilifeform: and get something in which one might write things like http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1762 [18:10]
asciilifeform: but that ~itself~ weighs very little [18:11]
asciilifeform: and is 'correct-by-obviousness' [18:11]
spyked: I'm also keeping the idea of potentially embedding in other ada projects (e.g. adacoin?) in mind. but so far wrestling the ffa aspects were enough of a challenge. oh, and there's no gc yet, the thing leaks memory like hell. but that's not its biggest problem. [18:11]
spyked: at least once it goes out of memory it will scream, unlike tinyscheme buffer overflows. [18:12]
asciilifeform: i'm not fully convinced that a scripting lang ~needs~ a gc [18:12]
asciilifeform: ( if your script runs for long enough that it needs gc -- maybe it oughta instead be an actual proggy ? ) [18:13]
spyked: ^ and if it does, should be easy to plug it in. [18:13]
asciilifeform: on sane iron, gc really oughta be part of the iron. but that's whole other thread. [18:14]
asciilifeform: spyked: consider posting your draft ( as asciilifeform posts his drafts occasionally ) [18:14]
asciilifeform: i'd much like to try it [18:14]
spyked: right now the thing does a whole lot of consing (e.g. even when parsing), to avoid using ada run-time. but yeah, not posted, I'm talking about ~non-existing item. [18:15]
asciilifeform: spyked: ideally you tell it on commandlinearg how much memory the script shot gets. and if it tries to cons 1 time too many, that's a eggog [18:15]
asciilifeform: ( this is how 'p' works, as you will see in near future ) [18:15]
asciilifeform: spyked: it's ok to post it 1 routine at a time ( as i do with ffa ) [18:16]
spyked: asciilifeform, I considered doing that, but it's big enough (spread across 3-4 compilation units) that I'll need to wrap in blog post and do some preliminary documentation work [18:16]
asciilifeform: fair'nuff [18:16]
spyked: single routine is probably boring (I expect asciilifeform knows better than me how S-expr parsing works) [18:17]
spyked: though there's devil hiding in those details [18:18]
asciilifeform: parsing sanely (i.e. with meaningful eggog-recoveries) is tricky business [18:18]
spyked: e.g. ada I/O is not especially suited for this task, because it reads either characters or full lines and reading characters doesn't eat newlines, so gotta rely on shell buffering for sane interaction. [18:19]
asciilifeform: your proggy should never try to eat or shit more than 1 char at a shot [18:20]
asciilifeform: i.e. it should be compatible with 'no os' ( bare iron ) microcontroller and such [18:20]
asciilifeform: ideally. [18:20]
asciilifeform: a newline is just another octet. [18:20]
spyked: on Get(Char), ada (at least gnat) seems to consume everything but linefeeds (even control characters such as EOT) [18:22]
asciilifeform: the less use is made of ada standard libs, the moar likely the thing is to survive transition to whatever ada-with-maximal-dross-jettisonned that we eventually end up with. [18:22]
* spyked will keep this in mind [18:22]
asciilifeform: spyked: i'ma post 'p' i/o routines, 1s [18:22]
asciilifeform: from current draft : [18:23]

asciilifeform: os.adb : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/C7D2r/?raw=true [18:23]
asciilifeform: and yes we import the c char routines. but these can be replaced on bare iron with reads/writes of uart, trivially. or anything else we want. [18:24]
spyked: asciilifeform, ty! I will study and put to use. [18:24]
asciilifeform: the posted unit is the entirety of the machine-dependent part of 'p'. [18:24]
asciilifeform: and for that matter of the ada std lib - using part ( once the debuggery put_line's in ffa are done away with ) [18:25]
* spyked figures out he has a lot of work to do. but this -- after current code receives proper drilling from other interested people. [18:28]

mircea_popescu: the weather is so fucking perfect and the sun so pleasant you just dun realise it. slowroast, no burn but TOO MUCH D VITAMIN OMG [18:46]
asciilifeform: oh hah yer in range of usa's deozonation or whatever cone again aintcha. [18:46]
mircea_popescu: notrly, i dun think [18:47]
* asciilifeform recalls c3 and ~week spent in the sun, and 0 burn [18:47]
asciilifeform: over here i get 20min and then begin to cook, even carry a dosimeter thing [18:47]
mircea_popescu: im not burned at all either. [18:47]
mircea_popescu: maybe this isn't how you call this in english. [18:48]
* mats speculates next five-year plan includes thiel-ization of intel apparatus - booz allens and stratfors [18:49]
mircea_popescu: there's this condition, entirely metabolic, not dermatologic, resulting from overexposure (as in 6 hours) to sun. [18:49]
asciilifeform: '“Snowden killed morale,” another T.A.O. analyst said. “But at least we knew who he was. Now you have a situation where the agency is questioning people who have been 100 percent mission-oriented, telling them they’re liars.”' [18:49]
mircea_popescu: mostly D vitamin overload (nausea, lack of appetite, that sorta thing) [18:49]
spyked: ah! mircea_popescu (and possibly other folks interested in ro-en translations)! almost forgot: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/86l91/?raw=true <-- to drill. need to make 1-2 passes through it before sending to silviu gherman d00d. (been also watching his stuff, guy has grown on me!) [18:49]

asciilifeform: possibly because i'd turn black long before changing vitamind overload [18:49]
mircea_popescu: it is. you get it in like, greek islands. sun too nice to burn but you do too much of it as a non-local [18:50]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not just d vitamin, either. but basically what happens is sun-driven metabolism overwhelms liver, products build up. solution is "not be such a noob", stuff fixes itself but after some practicve. [18:51]
asciilifeform: i have not yet had the pleasure of this disease. just as i have not yet suffered what the chukchas get from walrus-only diet in lean months etc [18:52]

mircea_popescu: mats i'd rather bet next 5 years includes giving up on intel as given up on army, rely on foreign intel orgs. [18:53]
mircea_popescu: moved industry to china, moved army to afghanistanis, pakistanis, whoever else could be arsed, move intel to israel next and so on. [18:54]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usg long ago gave up on intel in the traditional sense . e.g. nsa 'restaurant menu' consists ~100% of vulns they themselves created. [18:54]
asciilifeform: ditto signals gathering [18:54]
mircea_popescu: they indianselves created. [18:54]
mircea_popescu: spyked do you have an agreement in principle with the guy or anything though ? [18:55]
spyked: mircea_popescu, last line? also, no, haven't spoken to him. my idea was to just post this on blog and then ask him if he's willing to translate (refer log and so on). could also do it the other way around, not sure. [19:00]
mircea_popescu: in your paste, last line, "These would be, dear local investors, a few specific" [19:00]
mircea_popescu: and your idea is not good. first you talk to him in principle, then you do the script, then etc. cinema has a flow! [19:01]
* spyked still doesn't get first question. [19:02]
mircea_popescu: spyked the romanian you pasted contains an english-language last line. [19:03]
spyked: not only the last line. [19:03]
mircea_popescu: oh it's dual. sorry, misread [19:03]

BingoBoingo: "Instead of fetching your slippers they’ll shit on them without remorse, as if keenly aware that ruining your property would be insulting to you. Instead of sleeping next to you, ready, and waiting in guard position, they will find a comfy spot squarely on your forehead, burrow down and screech to high heaven if you motion to remove them. Rinse and repeat they will, despite many deserved beatings. Brats." [23:36]

And that's incredibly critical to CapEx [23:46]
