| mp_en_viaje: | the problem with your stance is tha tthey do not want your custom. | [01:37] |
| mp_en_viaje: | fish shop without any fish does not need fish buyers who expett to get fish for any reason. does enough "trade" with "classic" "traditional" "typical" etc "customer" who merely talks about fish and fish buying. exactly like http://trilema.com/2014/business-whatever-that-may-mean/#selection-203.288-207.25 | [01:38] |

| mp_en_viaje: | the problem, of course, is that b) is still a slut, just, a very shitty one and a) still doesn't have a career, she just also doesn't have any friends. | [01:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923447 << so did linus. the problem with the behaviour standard is that pantsuit aligned agent can appear to behave sanely for lack of actual testing for any arbitrary length of time. eg, my clay pot also has behaved sanely as hammer for lo these past 3 weeks -- principally because i've not had need of any hammers 3 weeks straight. | [01:44] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-07-19 02:59 asciilifeform: dunno, behaved sanely for 12+ years. | [01:44] |
| mp_en_viaje: | had you said "undo your process for my sake" at any point, you'd have discovered the same thing. | [01:44] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this is rather why i don't really deal with entities unwilling to go outside of their standard flow, it's like an initial test. because if they don't, i know what they are, and well... | [01:45] |
| mp_en_viaje: | eg -- some "self-serve" items will do table service for me, some will come over to tell me i gotta go to them, and run into the "you already walked here, now take out your pen". 100% DO NOT take out the pen, because if the precious cuntlet's dumb enough to actually march over to whine at me about her incronssequential worldview failing in practice, she's sure as fuck not about to drop it. she's | [01:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | rather decided to matasareanu herself all over the altar of her precious cuntlet mattering in the world. | [01:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the fact that young girls do this a lot more than young boys, these days, is the principal reason of white man culture failure, btw. | [01:47] |

| mp_en_viaje: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923461 << gb size PATCH yes, and is forbidden. GB sized GENESIS not the same thing at all. plox to not confuse vpatch and genesis! patch says, "this is a change i'm making to an item, plox judge ~the change~. not the item. the item is taken for granted". gensis says, "this is an item i'm proposing please judge it". | [01:51] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-07-19 03:09 asciilifeform: trinque: imho GB-sized vpatch makes a mockery of very concept. | [01:51] |
| mp_en_viaje: | IF one does not want gb sized ~genesis~, then ONE MUST NOT USE THE ITEM. yes, usage against this is tolerated against. but the day will come when it's "sorry, your X can not interop with republic, either get rid of it or get lost yourself". and i fucking mean that, too, maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but it will fucking happen. | [01:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | because that's the very correlate of republic, and of selectivity and of changing the world, as opposed to social club. | [01:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and so, given that we've decided "something like the item will have to exist" and also "the actual item may be just as good a starting point as anything, and in any case better than pen, blank paper, and alf's scheduler", thus therefore it follows, mandatorily and undisputably, that there will be a bunch of large genesises. | [01:53] |
| mp_en_viaje: | in fact, the above is actually happening ~even today~ : " | [01:55] |
| mp_en_viaje: | When version 5.6 is removed, I will have to pack up and leave. By imposing these changes, you will have lost a customer of 12 years. And probably not only one." says exactly the same thing. | [01:55] |
| mp_en_viaje: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923463 << this being why the wot system even exists : so ten dozen different worms can work together, digest mysql codebase or w/e, and produce a usable item. which yes, once it's made can be re-genesised into sanity and we can safely forget the name mysql. but until then, work. | [01:56] |

| trinque: | this "gb genesis is fine" thing comes as a surprise. | [08:50] |
| trinque: | in light of years of threads on the subj. | [08:50] |
| trinque: | my intent here was to have the vtree read as a history of the items as they have been understood, not as "here's the wad of shit diana_coman needed one day so we put it all in and signed it" | [08:51] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: it's 'gordian knot' that has to be cut ~somehow~. consider, as of yet asciilifeform cannot vtronicize that kernel patch, cuz... no kernel genesis. | [08:51] |
| asciilifeform: | ditto gcc. | [08:51] |
| trinque: | we agree the work isn't done, but I fundamentally disagree that gb genesis is the move | [08:52] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: the trouble is that you need to start from somewhere and that somewhere is "this wad of shit" | [08:52] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: how wouldja do it ? | [08:52] |
| trinque: | moreover it would've been great to have someone raise this objection when I was posting alphas of the thing for months | [08:52] |
| diana_coman: | so how do you suggest to start? because even if I have this ebuild, I can't patch it because effectively, no sources so what am I patching exactly, just the ebuild script? how does that help? | [08:52] |
| trinque: | I told you what work would be necessary to make having the src in the tree do anything in the last thread. | [08:53] |
| trinque: | "fuck you I deal only in platonic ideals" is not a way of interfacing with the world | [08:53] |
| trinque: | there are several changes to portage that'd have to happen before it's going to build any src you make part of that tree | [08:54] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: imho worth to write article re subj | [08:54] |
| asciilifeform: | atm trinque afaik is the only 1 who went deep enuff into the portage guts to know the detail | [08:55] |
| trinque: | diana_coman: did you yet read, understand, clean, and swear to the foregoing re: curl? | [08:55] |
| trinque: | or did you just need it? | [08:55] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: my experience is that portage will happily build sources that are locally in /cuntoo/distribution (iirc.) so I don't understand re "won't build" | [08:55] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: not cleaned no, not swearing either hence mp_en_viaje 's earlier observation that I'm not vpatching but genesising and those are different precisely because genesis is a place to start (be it a wad of shit) not "this thing I can swear to " | [08:57] |
| trinque: | mk, so anything we don't feel like reading we just cram into the genesis for our children to swim in | [08:58] |
| diana_coman: | I don't want curl in the genesis, lolz | [08:58] |
| diana_coman: | I want however A genesis from where to be able to start | [08:58] |
| diana_coman: | you know, I went into this+curl because you said oh noez, nobody is doing ebuilds etc | [08:58] |
| trinque: | sure. and if you disagree with my incrementalism, that's fine too. | [08:59] |
| trinque: | we did exactly "here are the filthy deps we don't understand and will probably abandon" in trb, recall | [08:59] |
| trinque: | we did it by hash reference | [09:00] |
| trinque: | if you can graft in an understood curl somewhere ~and~ get portage to use that src I'll applaud | [09:00] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: I suppose I don't *understand* the incrementalism you see there because there isn't something I can follow "from this genesis he did this vpatch cutting that out etc" | [09:01] |
| diana_coman: | or is your objection to using V for verifiable-incrementalism or what | [09:02] |
| BingoBoingo: | Mocky: ty | [09:03] |
| trinque: | my objection is that nobody here knew how to build a linux aside perhaps 3 folks. | [09:03] |
| trinque: | my first step was to enumerate the wads of ??? needed | [09:03] |
| trinque: | now someone can read the genesis and know what goes into the recipe | [09:03] |
| trinque: | from there, yeah, learn about curl | [09:04] |
| trinque: | learn about runit or hell glibc | [09:04] |
| trinque: | musl, w/e | [09:04] |
| trinque: | but having crammed them all into the genesis ruins the "what's a linux" overview | [09:04] |
| diana_coman: | but enumeration is not "know what wads goes" , how does this work? how is "a wad called soandso" enough? | [09:05] |
| trinque: | so as I said, if you can now vpatch in an ~understood~ curl, do it, and make portage build it, and show me how | [09:05] |
| trinque: | diana_coman: I'm going to have to leave. my final point is that this "do it all perfectly and yesterday" is a great way to never go anywhere | [09:05] |
| diana_coman: | the "perfectly" is your addition | [09:06] |
| diana_coman: | and precisely what you are throwing back that "oh, but you want the shit in the genesis,no!" | [09:06] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: the root of problem is how to do the GB-of-shit to kB-of-food conversion w/out genesising the shit | [09:07] |
| diana_coman: | as I get it, you want genesis to be only something-perfectly-understood that is the perfection that is not possible and that nobody is asking for | [09:07] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje evidently also had nfi how, and so prescribed 'genesis the GB of shite' | [09:07] |
| asciilifeform: | i also haven't any better idea atm. | [09:07] |
| asciilifeform: | e.g alternative of asciilifeform's 'here is my hash of mp's gpg-1.4.10' thing is fundamentally sinful , cuz not in fact vtronically contiguous w/ original | [09:08] |
| trinque: | I mean, if it's what's wanted, somebody else step up, and I'll trash the item I made. | [09:09] |
| asciilifeform: | in fact, recall how trb 'chicken' genesis was a hand-cranked recipe, cuz had to delete binary gif turds etc and vtron of the time could not autodigest such deletion | [09:09] |
| trinque: | asciilifeform: I really don't care what the perfectly preserved historic curl was, so long as the revised item passed through a single human head in my wot | [09:10] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: sure. but you can't have vpatch w/out a genesis that actually puts the original on the machine, or what am i missing | [09:10] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: ftr there is no talk whatsoever of trashing the item you made, no idea where that came from | [09:13] |

| asciilifeform: | it's a wonder that even displaying text worx reliably | [16:07] |
| mp_en_viaje: | what the fuck am i going to do | [16:08] |
| asciilifeform: | when i was sawing the thing apart , thought 'why not make selector search for start/end chars until finds unique, then sel displayer ditto' but did not get to trying this | [16:09] |
| asciilifeform: | possibly someone handy with jsism could attempt ( lobbes ? ) | [16:10] |

| asciilifeform: | is what www browserism is. | [16:12] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, so your idea is, recursive search ? user selects "duck" in abcduckefg, the script tries "c" sees if unique, if yes uses, if not tries bc, if unique uses if not abc etc ? | [16:12] |
| asciilifeform: | ( after google bought opera & buried in cement, became 'de facto standard' microshit-style. nao behaves 100% like 1990s microshit, does whateverthefuck it wants ) | [16:13] |

| asciilifeform: | idea is, selector knows what the selection is, when it is made, ~that~ part worx errywhere | [16:13] |

| mp_en_viaje: | local "select" behaviour is always defined, but afaik there's no exposed "make it look selected" call | [16:22] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, of course, if one's doing server side no need to grep, count start, count end | [16:23] |
| asciilifeform: | naturally not. you'd have to put in e.g. <span style="blah">....</span> or whatnot. and 'anchor' so thing scrolls to it. | [16:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the dom construction / abomination varies, but my articles are still mysql fields, unchanged | [16:23] |
| asciilifeform: | and correct, if server-end munge, you dun need the displayer js at all | [16:24] |
| asciilifeform: | only need js for select-maker | [16:24] |
| asciilifeform: | ( would do roughly same thing as presently, but munge the url in browser so when loaded, gives server-end selectified copy ) | [16:24] |
| asciilifeform: | bonus, in machine log could see what readers like to select. | [16:25] |
| asciilifeform: | all of this may or may not be worth the effort. but perhaps worth to try. | [16:26] |

| a111: | Logged on 2019-07-19 02:30 asciilifeform: aaand their reply . | [16:57] |
| mp_en_viaje: | in continuing sads : /me attempted to spec the server side php job and it can be done, roughly, there exist primitives for, eg, "insert this after nth word and that after mth word". however : a) this interferes with the footnotes, because footnotes exist as zi and not as displayed on page and b) there's no good way to # and ? at the same time because of the way trilema handles title-urls. | [17:22] |
| asciilifeform: | i thought footnotes were html anchors | [17:22] |
| asciilifeform: | or is this in re the internal representation | [17:22] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the internal representation. | [17:23] |
| asciilifeform: | ugh | [17:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | server side amirite. | [17:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | aii ciii appears as a b --- c d on-page. | [17:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and there's also no way to have trilema.com/article-title/?start=5&end=7#selection | [17:24] |
| mp_en_viaje: | can has trilema.com/article-title/?start=5&end=7 OR trilema.com/article-title/#selection but not rly both. | [17:25] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this is so fucking broken / | [17:25] |
| asciilifeform: | could in principle trilema.com/article-title/5/7/#selection ? | [17:26] |
| asciilifeform: | cut it up on serv side into operands, do Right Thing | [17:27] |
| mp_en_viaje: | ah that's an idea huh. | [17:37] |
| * asciilifeform | has nfi whether this is trivial to implement , or headache | [17:38] |
| asciilifeform: | the thing already cuts into /-separated chunks, tho, neh. | [17:38] |
| mp_en_viaje: | nfi either, but we find out soonish | [17:41] |
| asciilifeform: | upstack: imho best form would be 100% plaintext, sumthing like trilema.com/article-title/rubber/ducky/ . then! can also ~select~ by hand crank, without jsism, if want , on box w/out jsism | [17:42] |
| asciilifeform: | ( down side -- would need the backend to search with ignoring of spaces, commas, etc ) | [17:44] |
| * diana_coman | gave all computers around work to do for the next hours so she goes happily to sleep. | [17:46] |
| asciilifeform: | goodnight diana_coman | [17:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | nn | [17:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, that'll never work though, because obviously it'll try to find an article by that name | [17:47] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: why's that ? name is what's b/w the 1st 2 / , neh ? | [17:48] |
| asciilifeform: | /article/title/ | [17:48] |
| asciilifeform: | err, | [17:48] |
| asciilifeform: | /article-title/ | [17:48] |
| asciilifeform: | why would it matter what's after the 2nd / ? | [17:48] |
| mp_en_viaje: | afaik the name's hacked into an article via htaccess, which is yet another pointless and poorly specified scripting lang atop the shit tower | [17:48] |
| asciilifeform: | hrm | [17:48] |
| * asciilifeform | tried several times, never got his htaccess thing to work correctly, hence why still has barbarian ?=xyz titles | [17:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | consider some simple examples : http://trilema.com/pili works, takes one to http://trilema.com/2016/pili/ which is the cannonical form. http://trilema.com/pil also works | [17:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so does http://trilema.com/2016/pili/441222/ however neither http://trilema.com/2016/pili/441/222/ nor http://trilema.com/2016/pili/441-222/ work | [17:49] |
| asciilifeform: | unsurprisingly they dunwork ~now~ , but could be made ? | [17:50] |
| * asciilifeform | does not know how, exactly, so will have to leave it there | [17:50] |
| asciilifeform: | the proposed format aint mathematically ambiguous, i can write it as regexp say. but whothefuckknows what the programmatic liquishit getting in the way might be. | [17:51] |
| mp_en_viaje: | well, here's the thing -- IF you move the "extract data from uri" into php, you lose... url replacement. | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the ~only~ way to have that indirection layer, is to use htaccess | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i mean obviously one could modify apache to be less fucked in the head, but ... | [17:52] |
| asciilifeform: | loox like finally a potential justification for spyked's thing | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | it does, at that. | [17:53] |
| mp_en_viaje: | as things stand, the ~only~ way to have user think url is "trilema/pili" while url really is trilema?p=65 or w/e it truly is, is via htaccess, which is like javascript written by monkeys in 1980 | [17:53] |
| asciilifeform: | rright, just thinkin' about .htaccess makes asciilifeform's stomach go | [17:54] |
| asciilifeform: | pretty typical specimen of 'we ameritards, did it over friday beer an' pizza' kludge | [17:54] |
| mp_en_viaje: | in theory you could possibly htccess script-fu something like domain/a/b/c into domain?q=a&w=b&e=c HOWEVER, the problem is the domain space is currently narrow. | [17:55] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: what if sel operands were to go on ~left~ side ? | [17:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | eg, trilema has implicit search, if you type in trilema.com/pus you instaget http://trilema.com/2018/pushing-the-soft-flesh-and-so-on-against-the-so-and-so-blades-of-the-immutable-machine-etcetera-second-installment/ | [17:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and i use this ~extensively~ | [17:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | in fact, it might be the one thing on the web i most use. | [17:56] |
| asciilifeform: | e.g. trilema.com/rubber/ducky/2018/pushing-the-soft-flesh-and-so-on-against-the-so-and-so-blades-of-the-immutable-machine-etcetera-second-installment/ | [17:56] |
| asciilifeform: | then narrow domain for'em, and can easily detect whether present | [17:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, admire the weird : http://trilema.com/2016/44/pili and trilema.com/2016/44/32/21/11/pili/ respecrtively | [17:57] |
| asciilifeform: | trilema.com/foo/bar/2016/44/32/21/11/pili/ btw loads even nao... | [17:58] |
| asciilifeform: | ~correctly~ | [17:58] |
| asciilifeform: | nao all you'd need is to pluck out that foo and bar | [17:58] |
| asciilifeform: | and use'em to bake highlight | [17:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | moreover, with prefix, what do you do with trilema.com/4 ? currently it (correctly) finds http://trilema.com/2012/40-vs-80/ | [17:59] |
| asciilifeform: | ( iirc php gives you copy of full url ? ) | [17:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, it does not load, it just wipes your string | [17:59] |
| asciilifeform: | ah so if the page renderer asks for url, it dun see foo, bar ? | [17:59] |
| asciilifeform: | (i.e. gets eaten by htaccessism ? ) | [17:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | o fuck me, it MUST see it | [17:59] |
| asciilifeform: | gotta, neh | [17:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | ok this might be major breakthrough here | [17:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | tjhis, incidentally, is EXACTLY how tower of shit was even built in the first palce | [18:00] |
| asciilifeform: | towers o'shit are cumulative, noose at 11.. | [18:00] |
| mp_en_viaje: | now ima tell someone "look what weird shit we found, USE IT" and they won't dare say "why" | [18:00] |
| asciilifeform: | 'new shithouse will be built from bricks of the one we blew up'(tm)(r)(lenin) | [18:01] |
| trinque: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923536 << yes, and "cuntoo" would've contained it if I took the wad-of-shit-in-genesis approach. | [19:46] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-07-19 12:51 asciilifeform: trinque: it's 'gordian knot' that has to be cut ~somehow~. consider, as of yet asciilifeform cannot vtronicize that kernel patch, cuz... no kernel genesis. | [19:46] |
| trinque: | I started from an item that was 900mb and that was just the ebuild tree. | [19:47] |
| trinque: | not having to be able to read vpatches is, lets say retrospectively declarative. | [19:50] |
| trinque: | at the very least I'd want to say "this is the one with kernel in it" | [19:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | So, it appears Iran took two British ships and released one with a warning. | [19:53] |
| trinque: | at any rate no, I'm not doing a man-month of rework on the thing any time soon. not standing in the way of anyone else doing it either. | [19:54] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: iirc we don't yet even have a vdiff that'd eat 900M | [19:55] |
| asciilifeform: | even if 'yes want' | [19:55] |
| asciilifeform: | i.e. it's a theoretical (if somewhat burning) q, rather than 'ohnoez, trinque Did It All Wrong' | [19:56] |
| trinque: | and I don't fault mp_en_viaje his ideological rigor. not in the slightest. | [20:05] |
| trinque: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923622 << the whole rest of history then requires this multi-gb genesis long after the resultant item has been carved to however many mb | [20:18] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-07-19 14:52 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-19#1923552 << exactly. it is marginally better than merely dropping portage on their head and it is ideologically defensible because guess what, if they don't like the genesis they dont have to either patch on it or press it. | [20:18] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: indeed does. bitter pill. but sorta like bitcoin requires that 300GB (an' counting) of liquishit, 4evah | [20:19] |
| trinque: | rather than having a perforation point which can be torn off, preserving the references for whichever historian that cared, but *not importing the shitwad into the future indefinitely* was the point | [20:19] |
| trinque: | asciilifeform: the vtree for bitcoin is not and never will be 300gb | [20:20] |
| asciilifeform: | i meant the blox, trinque | [20:20] |
| asciilifeform: | it's the same thing, imho, the cost of being able to trace the history to birth of universe, is having to keep it around | [20:20] |
| trinque: | this regresses infinitely. | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | nao what i'd really like is to ditch the idjit unixdiff's reversible deletions | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | where if you snip a MB, ~that patch~ now weighs 1MB+ | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | there's no fucking point to that, if we keep genesis of orig | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: how does 'regress infinitely' ? plox to elaborate | [20:22] |
| trinque: | by way of example, why does your p not contain gnat | [20:23] |
| trinque: | and inb4 IT WILL, I know! | [20:23] |
| trinque: | why doesn't it today? | [20:23] |
| asciilifeform: | imho this is the real open q in the thread -- how to represent relation b/w nominally separate proggies | [20:23] |
| asciilifeform: | each of which by all logic wants to be sep. vtree, but are dependent functionally | [20:24] |
| asciilifeform: | if can solve this cleanly, can then be rid of portage, even, in principle | [20:24] |
| trinque: | this I think correctly runs afoul of mp_en_viaje's "there is only one fucking tree, and it does not loop" | [20:25] |
| trinque: | see, I'm this perverse fellow that knows the scripture even. | [20:26] |
| trinque: | and agrees, yet sins | [20:26] |
| trinque: | asciilifeform: the point being yes, we can be rid of portage, but where are the steps between there and here. | [20:27] |
| trinque: | might as well say what I'm doing with my time lately, which is related. I'm horking down bitcoins by the $10k, what | [20:27] |
| asciilifeform: | i suppose beats alternative where burning life in salt mine and ~not~ piling up coin | [20:36] |
| trinque: | it's shitty, lol, but what am I going to hold when I'm 40. | [20:41] |
| trinque: | upstack, trying to capture linux in this manner might've been a fool's errand. might be that a muntzed kernel and a busybox-like are a saner beachball to eat. | [20:43] |
| asciilifeform: | is actually all i got atm in the mips thing -- busybox | [20:44] |
| trinque: | I've lived in it, isn't so bad | [20:44] |
| asciilifeform: | ( + 'dhrystone' lol ) | [20:44] |
| BingoBoingo: | !Qlater tell diana_coman http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XRfoU/?raw=true | [21:18] |
| lobbesbot: | BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded. | [21:18] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: thinking about it, 1 possible answer to the puzzler is to make an entire orchestra as 1 vtree. | [21:54] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: the obv. toothbreaking stone is gnat. | [21:54] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc at one time mp suggested this, 'there oughta be ONE genesis' | [21:57] |
| asciilifeform: | but iirc this was before we even gnat'd | [21:57] |
| trinque: | I'd be surprised if that stone doesn't haul in all the rest | [22:06] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: to expand -- currently gnat srcball aint a complete description of gnat. i.e. it demands existing gnat. iirc was described pedantically in old thrd. | [22:09] |
| asciilifeform: | mipsism is a half-solution, of sorts, in that can build a mipsistic gnat and then will execute anywhere you can port the 12kB emu to | [22:10] |
| asciilifeform: | but not 'troo' solution | [22:10] |
| asciilifeform: | afaik nobody has troo solution of yet. | [22:10] |
