trinque: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-20-dec-2017#2380988 << I have been fighting stuck/slow transactions more frequently in the past month, leading to the last week where I have been completely unable to get connected nodes to take my txn. [00:19]
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 02:17 ben_vulpes: phf: well i'd like to get something out of trb that i can dump into a txrelayulator [00:19]
trinque: the version number appears to be a factor which ends up isolating trb nodes, hypothesis being that the version number being set high invites nodes to insult the malleus patch. [00:20]
trinque: my own nodes have begun lagging far behind the chain tip, other folks report the same. [00:21]
trinque: for now, I can report that setting the version number to 50400, a trb node will catch back up, txns will unstick. [00:23]
trinque: not a proposal for action, but those are my observations. [00:23]
mircea_popescu: there was a lot of spam pre block 500k. [00:31]
mircea_popescu: may alsoi be a factor. [00:32]
trinque: was on 50000x, within 10 or so of top now, after version change and restart. [00:32]
trinque: prior to that the lag was increasing every time I checked. [00:33]
* trinque will be comparing multiple test subjects. [00:34]
trinque: and there's 500358 [00:35]
trinque: ah, and 9. topped out. [00:35]
BingoBoingo: Spanish test a success. Was a wonderful opportunity to get forced into a prolongued stretch of not head translating. Thankfully the test was very patient and ergonomic. [08:29]
* BingoBoingo may have cheated a bit on the test leaning on the whole "animal magnetism" applied Trilema business. [08:30]
BingoBoingo: The accent on the test though, the single most challenging encountered so far. [08:30]
BingoBoingo: Cada dia, hacer algo por su Trilema. Lo trabaja cuando vos trabajas [08:36]

* BingoBoingo also this morning returned to the consultora to sign more forms on the road to having a bank account. [09:32]
BingoBoingo: And the data center has sent draft contracts to review [09:33]
BingoBoingo: Y en otra inglesas: "In other news, The Times reported that, for the first time in modern history, no Royal Navy fighting ships – destroyers, frigates, amphibious assault ships or carriers – would be operating away from Britain over Christmas and New Year." [09:36]
BingoBoingo: Inglaterra es un pais pobre [09:37]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755775 << i dug into this item last yr, and found that the version thing is mostly a red herring : when you set 50400, the same derps drop ~you~, a millisecond or so sooner than you would've dropped ~them~ via malleus. the real culprit is always http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702558 .

a111: Logged on 2017-08-23 13:09 asciilifeform: the reason why mike_c's node appears 'stalled' is that it stopped fetching blocks. trb's block sync behaviour is unspeakably moronic, it will attempt 'long sync' ONCE, on warmup [09:52]
asciilifeform: aside from brief period at bootup, a trb node DOES NOT TRY TO SYNC AT ALL, passively waits for someone to come and feed it. forever. [09:53]
asciilifeform: concretely : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1621858 [09:57]
a111: Logged on 2017-03-04 00:52 asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 and http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 are the only times a trb node asks for blocks explicitly from peer [09:57]
asciilifeform: + http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1621865 , and really whole thread worth reviewing. [09:58]
a111: Logged on 2017-03-04 00:55 asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu , as you can probably tell, if node misses the window when $block was being actively thrown at it, then it has only these two knobs for attempting to get it [09:58]
asciilifeform: so trinque , yer node synced on account of being reset. as in more or less every previous case of 'my node stalled, i changed knob K, and reset, and bam! , synced , knob K must be reason' -- it's the reset. [09:59]
asciilifeform: i'ma put this in the l0gz, ftr : [10:04]
asciilifeform: the ONLY 2 times PushGetBlocks is called ( i.e. to explicitly ASK a peer for new blocks ) is : [10:04]
asciilifeform: 1) inside if (strCommand == "version") { .... that is , command processor for peer's commands : [10:05]
asciilifeform: // Ask the first connected node for block updates [10:05]
asciilifeform: static int nAskedForBlocks [10:05]
asciilifeform: if (!pfrom->fClient && [10:05]
asciilifeform: (pfrom->nVersion < 32000 || pfrom->nVersion >= 32400) && [10:05]
asciilifeform: (nAskedForBlocks < 1 || vNodes.size() <= 1)) [10:05]
asciilifeform: { [10:05]
asciilifeform: nAskedForBlocks++ [10:05]
asciilifeform: pfrom->PushGetBlocks(pindexBest, uint256(0)) [10:05]
asciilifeform: } [10:05]
asciilifeform: the very FIRST connected peer who issues 'version' gets asked to help sync. and when THAT connection breaks -- that's it. [10:06]
asciilifeform: 2) inside the bastardry handler, in ProcessBlock(...) : [10:06]
asciilifeform: // If don't already have its previous block, throw it out! [10:07]
asciilifeform: if (!mapBlockIndex.count(pblock->hashPrevBlock)) [10:07]
asciilifeform: { [10:07]
asciilifeform: printf("ProcessBlock: BASTARD BLOCK, prev=%s, DISCARDED\n", pblock->hashPrevBlock.ToString().substr(0,20).c_str()) [10:07]
asciilifeform: [10:07]
asciilifeform: // Ask this guy to fill in what we're missing [10:07]
asciilifeform: if (pfrom) [10:07]
asciilifeform: pfrom->PushGetBlocks(pindexBest, pblock->hashPrevBlock) [10:07]
asciilifeform: [10:07]
asciilifeform: return true [10:07]
asciilifeform: } [10:07]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1621894 << see detailed discussion. [10:07]
a111: Logged on 2017-03-04 01:11 asciilifeform: note that ProcessBlock() only ever asks ~the bastard-supplying peer~ for the bastard's prevblock. [10:07]
asciilifeform: apologies for the clutter, but this item really ought to live in the permarecord. [10:08]
asciilifeform: because it is imho a major open problem . [10:08]
asciilifeform: much of what the 'power rangers' did to their bitcoin, was an elaborate dance around this problem, with a dozen pseudosolutions that guzzled memory, and -- more importantly -- destroyed the integrity of their sync ( the orphanage bullshit, the headers-first bullshit , etc ) [10:11]

mircea_popescu: or rather an uruguashan accent. [10:54]
BingoBoingo: freetlas: Not yet. But I am starting to get a hang of ll y Y sound like Shhhh [10:54]
BingoBoingo: lol [10:54]

freetlas: mircea_popescu: You have an Argentine accent, don't you? [10:56]
BingoBoingo: When Colombians pass through the hostel though, very easy accent for my ears to process. [10:56]
mircea_popescu: nah. [10:56]
mircea_popescu: i deliberately avoided adapting to the idiots. [10:56]
freetlas: mircea_popescu: be honest. DOn't be ashamed lol [10:56]
mircea_popescu: normally i'm a total phonetic slut, but in this case i made an effort. [10:56]
BingoBoingo: freetlas: mircea_popescu has a Roman accent [10:56]
mircea_popescu: can't learn the accent of a despised herd of subhuman filth. [10:57]
freetlas: BingoBoingo: It is. I mean, there are more than 4 different accents in Colombia. [10:57]
BingoBoingo: freetlas: I man the accent on the columbians con dinera sufficient por vacacciones en Pocitos, Montevideo [10:58]
BingoBoingo: *dinero [10:58]
mircea_popescu: dinero lol. it's not like plata. [10:58]
mircea_popescu: aha. [10:58]
freetlas: gonna say the same lol [10:58]
freetlas: BingoBoingo: that's where you currently living? [11:00]
BingoBoingo: Correcting a/o is what the Venezualana dentist makes her side gig doing [11:01]
BingoBoingo: freetlas: Living yes, But in a way that challenges what i considered living before. Much more living aca. [11:02]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755787 << lol what did you do! [11:04]
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 13:30 BingoBoingo may have cheated a bit on the test leaning on the whole "animal magnetism" applied Trilema business. [11:04]
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755798 << this does *not* explain what I put in the log, though it is also a problem. [11:04]
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 14:52 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755775 << i dug into this item last yr, and found that the version thing is mostly a red herring : when you set 50400, the same derps drop ~you~, a millisecond or so sooner than you would've dropped ~them~ via malleus. the real culprit is always http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702558 . [11:04]
asciilifeform: trinque: hm plox to expand then ? [11:05]
mircea_popescu: trinque hey, i'm all ears. [11:05]
trinque: it is not as though I restarted the trb node once, said "oh ok, worx nao" [11:05]
trinque: mats also reported to me that his nodes *will not keep up*, ben_vulpes also [11:05]
asciilifeform: trinque: ( and this is not specific to this case ) plox to describe, in pedantic detail, the events [11:05]
trinque: I already put it in the log, what [11:06]
asciilifeform: what i saw was http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755777 [11:06]
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 05:23 trinque: for now, I can report that setting the version number to 50400, a trb node will catch back up, txns will unstick. [11:06]
mircea_popescu: you got a blog, you saw teh fetlife/okcupid/whatever write-ups, knock yourself out in a mead of fermented detail. [11:06]
BingoBoingo: Well, I just stayed a playful friendly extranjero and let the laughing and the context do the not heavy at all lifting [11:06]
asciilifeform: but did not see , e.g., 'did 7 resets with 9.999... but only the 8th, with 50400, did the trick' [11:06]
mircea_popescu: trinque the problem with "mats also reported to me that his nodes *will not keep up*, ben_vulpes also" is the ambiguity attendant. two guys walk into a diner, agree that coffee sucks there -- one's a colombian, local brew is swill the other's from alaska, can not stand hot beverages. [11:07]
mircea_popescu: yet they "agreed". but what was meant ? [11:07]
trinque: what was meant is that I want others to study their nodes while I study mine [11:08]
trinque: and not simply go "alf says it isn't so, lets not look" [11:08]
mircea_popescu: yes but you did not specific a study paradigm [11:08]
mircea_popescu: at least not public [11:08]
trinque: I plainly said what I was going to do about it [11:08]
asciilifeform: one useful item would be a 'from whom this came' log prefixer patch [11:08]
mircea_popescu: "study this room" rarely works in my experience (and yes, i experienced we have small toys for hiding etc) [11:08]
mircea_popescu: trinque i gathered you moved from knob set to x to knob set to y that's not the same as a "do this experiment". [11:09]
asciilifeform: ^ [11:09]
mircea_popescu: for instance, what specific variable was to be measured, and how. [11:09]
asciilifeform: trinque: one way to turn this into an experimental setup would be to make ver knob adjustable ~without reset~ [11:10]
asciilifeform: then could genuinely say 'it wasn't the reset, it was version mask' [11:10]
asciilifeform: after certain # of shots [11:10]
mircea_popescu: reset does add some noise but it can be also filtered out otherwise. [11:11]
trinque: asciilifeform: clearly. [11:11]
mircea_popescu: statistics works on anything, is the thing. [11:11]
asciilifeform: it isn't 'some noise', mircea_popescu , reset triggers the one and only sync-catchup routine [11:11]
asciilifeform: ( see the massive log turd earlier ) [11:11]
mircea_popescu: i'm aware, i'm aware. [11:11]
trinque: I was brief on details because I fully expected that others are seeing the same behavior with the trb nodes they maintain. public indexes of nodes report that just about every single one is far behind. [11:12]
asciilifeform: trinque: the 1 common thread in asciilifeform's lab notes from birth of trb to today, is that once they fall behind, they stay behind, until reset. (often more than one reset.) [11:13]
mats: i've had some luck syncing with 'btcwire' nodes, when all of the advertised nodes were ~30 blocks behind or unreachable on sunday [11:13]
asciilifeform: and i'm satisfied that i found the reason for it. ( and no i do not have a ready pill, the ~algo~ is broken ) [11:13]
asciilifeform: what's btcwire ? [11:14]
mats: and at that time i just fed those blocks back to the advertised nodes, it caught up [11:14]
mats: some golang thing [11:14]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform half-admitted sybil. [11:14]
mircea_popescu: was something-network before that [11:14]
trinque: one which probably doesn't implement enough of the prb protocol to get banned [11:14]
asciilifeform: mats: hand-feeding always works, yes. but it's not a practical means of keeping a node up in regular practice. [11:14]
trinque: think for a sec, that with the high version number you're advertising support for protocol "features" you then immediately issue a ban for. [11:15]
asciilifeform: trinque: this is not wrong , but it's a pov that concedes to the powerrangers the privilege of owning version#s [11:15]
asciilifeform: why should they get to filter us out by doing e.g. 'nothing below 0.7 can connect' [11:16]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in his case, because he wants to at least occasionally get txn out [11:16]
trinque: this sort of thinking creates gigantic blind spots in which ways 0.5.4 is broken will hide. [11:17]
asciilifeform: if it in fact has become impossible to get a tx out without emulating all of prb, we have a Problem [11:17]
mircea_popescu: dude... [11:17]
trinque: I reported this in the log [11:17]
mircea_popescu: we have had A PROBLEM for longer than i can recall. [11:17]
mircea_popescu: we have no isp. we can't as much as fucking hire a chinese girl. [11:17]
mircea_popescu: somehow nike manages to get its shoes sewn but not us [11:17]
mircea_popescu: we're afloat in problems. [11:17]
asciilifeform: troo! [11:17]
mircea_popescu: so then. [11:17]
mats: in regular practice i'm uncertain how to masquerade as prb without running a heathen node and plugging trb into that [11:18]
trinque: in the case of the version number (which I will obviously test extensively, and said so) it's possible it's a bad move to crank to maxver, because it's a lie saying "we support all misc novelties below this int" [11:18]
trinque: mats: my node.deedbot.org node *immediately* synced to top after weeks of restarts and praying to satan when version number was set. [11:19]
asciilifeform: trinque: that knob is there, to be turned. i've no argument that 'version dun matter', it may well matter. but oughta be tested correctly, as indep. variable. [11:19]
mats: trinque: who did you ask for blocks? [11:19]
trinque: I have the republican list in addnode and that's it. [11:20]
trinque: asciilifeform: where was that in argument [11:20]
asciilifeform: iirc recent prb ( as analyzed by jurov, still digging for the thread ) will simply drop you if you connect and report <0.7 . [11:20]
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755783 [11:20]
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 05:34 trinque will be comparing multiple test subjects. [11:20]
asciilifeform: you gotta compare without reset tho. [11:20]
trinque: I agree with that as well. [11:21]
trinque: should be trivial to add an rpc to change the var [11:21]
asciilifeform: needs a patch. [11:21]
asciilifeform: aha [11:21]
asciilifeform: another patch experiment whose time imho has come, is 'prod' rpc command : trigger the boot sync behaviour at arbitrary time. [11:23]
asciilifeform: i'ma produce it this weekend, if no one else has. [11:23]
trinque: indeed, should be tested independently of this, can possibly preserve the high version. [11:23]
asciilifeform: incidentally when i wrote the versionknob patch, i did not expect that everyone here will run with ~same~ , default ver [11:24]
mircea_popescu: yes for srs. prod! [11:25]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform meaningless magic number got set to the "closest ot inexistence" available. [11:25]
trinque: asciilifeform: I don't blame the patch, only "now I have an observation which suggests touch the knob" [11:26]
asciilifeform: aha , ^ is how i came up with the value [11:26]
trinque: suggestion may be wrong [11:26]
asciilifeform: trinque: item very much deserves proper test. [11:26]
asciilifeform: and as 'ship is made to sail', knob -- is made to turn. [11:27]
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's point was not 'don't turn', but 'gotta turn them knobs independently of one another, or 9000 years will not suffice' [11:28]
* trinque suddenly realises that there are two intuitive items, tit.. and cock [11:28]

BingoBoingo: trinque: More slowly than I would like. The whole US citizen bullshit is giving the accountant quite a workout when it comes to making banking work to pay for the racks. [11:43]
mircea_popescu: in other sads : one trb node was dead since fucking 22nd of august, because -- it ran into the fabled "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbRunRecoveryException' what(): DbEnv::txn_checkpoint: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery" which then kicked in a script to clean it up, which it did, but couldn't boot back up because for yet-unknown reasons there was a spurious .lock leftover corner case u [11:44]
mircea_popescu: ncovered, 1k man-hours worth of spuriously idiotic automation down teh drain. [11:44]
mircea_popescu: we have, as the man says, A problem. [11:45]
BingoBoingo: trinque: As far as the racks themselves. Ready within 72 hours of signing a contract and paying for them, but IP address block from LACNIC will take 2 weeks from application to allocation. [11:48]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what was yer bandwidth, again? [11:49]
mircea_popescu: shaping up BingoBoingo ! [11:49]

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: gracias [11:50]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he's getting his foot in tyhe door it'll scale. [11:51]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: should hope so. because 100mb ain't enuff for even 1 trbtron [11:51]

jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 1e6 * 3600 * 24 * 30 = 2592000000000 [11:53]

* BingoBoingo can't recall running a trbtron I could touch on a connection faster than 3 mbps until in Montevideo [11:54]
asciilifeform: hey, slow modem beats no modem [11:54]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, router rule [11:55]
mircea_popescu: by the time your trb node eats 10 MBps even, you've more serious problems than "buy more pipe". and that's inst not sustained. [11:56]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: well yes, i'm aware that there is not a literal 100mb/s modem, lol [11:56]
BingoBoingo: Once trb gets enough network speed to work, extra doesn't offer much [11:56]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most painful spot is prolly the bringup of new node with its 200G [11:56]
mircea_popescu: that 200G is over a little more than 20 minutes. [11:56]
mircea_popescu: bb broadfly has it, there's a narrow sliver of bw trb/prb can even use more than that it generally wastes. [11:57]
* asciilifeform does the arithmetic, yea mircea_popescu is prolly right [11:57]
mircea_popescu: and the narrow sliver in question is in the kbps range [11:57]
mircea_popescu: ie, unless you got a good reason running a centralizing node, capping the bw for the damned thing doesn't do anything observable. [11:58]
asciilifeform: the bottom limit is what it takes to move in a block every 10m . i.e. ~2kB/s. [11:58]
mircea_popescu: in practice more like 15x that, because it gotta chatter like a boring housewife. [11:59]
asciilifeform: aha, mempoolism [11:59]
mircea_popescu: aha. [11:59]
BingoBoingo: 1-1.5 mbps cap tends to allow resonable block reception time and support a number of connections, and keeps pipe faily clear outside of block time [11:59]
BingoBoingo: with an under 512 kbps cap, not many other nodes will want to be friends [12:00]
asciilifeform: and speaking of all of this, asciilifeform has a gentootronic box ready to crate up and enthrone immediately when BingoBoingo proclaims his rack. [12:01]

mircea_popescu: anyway, continuing the trinque discussion, it seems entirely unavoidable that trb will become 3 things : a wallet node, optimized for pumping out local signed tx a block node, optimized for keeping the blockchain, getting blocks, no mempool nonsense and a spy node, optimized to keeping track of the lies and nonsense flowing through the relay network (mempool, timing nodes, what have you). [12:38]
mircea_popescu: there's absolutely no conceivable reason to have all these 3 items in the same place. [12:38]
mircea_popescu: key to the split is a rewrite of the db so it's less fucktarded. [12:38]
* asciilifeform actually has the db item, based on 'horsecocks' routine posted earlier but not ready for primetime and on hold pending ffa/p release [12:39]
asciilifeform: i.e. giant mmap. [12:40]
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea, at that. [12:40]
asciilifeform: O(1) fetches. [12:41]
mircea_popescu: aha [12:41]
asciilifeform: ( and writes, for that matter. ) [12:41]
asciilifeform: btw 'block node' per mircea_popescu's cut , doesn't have to be a 'daemonic' process at all, even. can run as 1shot cmdline util, that can be asked to eat a candidate-block ( and report success/failure ), or disgorge a previously-accepted block (by header , or by height) then terminates [12:43]
asciilifeform: it dun need to persistently grind. [12:43]
mircea_popescu: possibly. [12:43]
mircea_popescu: could even be a bash one-liner [12:44]
asciilifeform: bash-driven, at any rate. ( still pretty massive cpp ball behind the scenes, considering that all of the remaining 'grandfather's pistol' logic lives ultimately in the is-this-an-actual-block evaluator ) [12:44]
mircea_popescu: and evidently the power rangers made the wrong cut. it is FINE to have a "light node" consisting of block and tx no spy. [12:48]
mircea_popescu: but they cut out the essential part and left the nonsense. [12:48]
asciilifeform: aha! [12:48]
asciilifeform: without is-this-a-block-based-on-all-known-blocks-down-to-genesis, it ain't a node, it's used cumrag [12:49]
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, it can be said "it makes no sense to have A without B", which is true. though it DOES make perfect senser to have B without A, which is why they are to be cut. [12:49]
mircea_popescu: because exactly, B is the basis of all things upon which basis A or C or both or neither may live. [12:49]
asciilifeform: will even observe, that it is possible to have a bitcoin net with only sneakernet connectivity, with cmdline eatblock-ing nodes. [12:50]
asciilifeform: and hand-carried payloads. [12:50]
mircea_popescu: cut like this, yes. [12:50]
mircea_popescu: and as it should be. [12:50]
mircea_popescu: then B can simply send PushGetBlocks until it falls over and entirely ignore mempool idiocy [12:51]
mircea_popescu: thereby having nodes forever on the brink of the chain no matter what. [12:51]
asciilifeform: B in the 'cmdline' model wouldn't ever on its own power send anything, or act autonomously [12:54]
asciilifeform: it'd be 'supreme court' for the whatever As connected. [12:54]
asciilifeform: ( but contain no networking code on its own ) [12:55]
mircea_popescu: could be a peer too, why not. [12:55]
asciilifeform: idea is that it should not be gummable by anything that happens on the net. [12:56]
asciilifeform: could be a peer, but 'lan peer' [12:56]
mircea_popescu: i guess. better have it capable and let operator design than have it incapable and no choice. [12:56]
mircea_popescu: lan-only knob eminently useful. [12:57]
asciilifeform: ideally reference-trb is capable-of-everything, incl. cpumining ( see the dozen or so threads at this point ) [12:57]

asciilifeform: the 1 caveat is that if the tx dun cut through the kilometre of prb and get to china, it dun get mined [13:06]
mircea_popescu: it's always cheaper to deal with china without idiot white cucks than with. [13:06]

BingoBoingo: stakes have many shapes [20:51]
esthlos: i'm trying to implement V, without reading too much source (as asciilifeform suggested), so how is this so far: [20:55]
mod6: Initial findings after digging into it here quickly, my V seems to have the leaves in a separate flow order than from Stan's (v99). Which, by itself, (as we've discussed before) isn't a problem per-se. It seems though that in the case here where the leaves are ordered differently, and you press (with my v (99994)) up through 'ch2_truerandom.vpatch', it also includes the 'eucrypt_mpi_fix_copy_incr.vpatch' a [20:55]
mod6: s it comes earlier in the flow. [20:55]
mod6: So in this case, it is a problem, because you may not want to press 'eucrypt_mpi_fix_copy_incr.vpatch' leaf when pressing to only ch2. [20:56]
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/7Xaoq/?raw=true [20:56]
esthlos: there is a collection X of diffs, a collection Y of detatched signatures of those diffs, and a collection Z of pubkeys corresponding to those patches [20:57]
mod6: I don't have a fix ready or anything of the kind, in fact, this could be the nail in the coffin for my v. [20:57]
mod6: I'll stop working on all other things, and dig into this. Will advise as I have more to say. [20:58]
esthlos: by selecting which keys are acceptable, we get a subsequence of acceptable diffs, which are then used to patch the source [20:59]
BingoBoingo: <esthlos> i'm trying to implement V, without reading too much source (as asciilifeform suggested), so how is this so far: << Well, stop reading code and take V on a walk down the Rambla. [20:59]
asciilifeform: actually i am reading my orig V nao and shuddering [21:00]
asciilifeform: the press algo i wrote was extremely lame , and mod6's vtron went astray by copying it, rather than the item in my head, lol [21:01]
asciilifeform: the correct press algo is [21:01]
asciilifeform: ... 1) to take the 'out' hashes of the ~one~, specific, patch being 'pressed to' [21:02]
esthlos: that's where I'm at, trying to figure out the order to apply the diffs [21:02]
asciilifeform: 2) recurse backwards from these. [21:02]
asciilifeform: pointedly the 'flow' should not be used as the input for any operation , other than to display to user [21:02]
asciilifeform: ( the linear flow display was also a mistake, it misleads people, does not actually help anybody. really ought to have exclusively tree-flow display, as mod6 had ) [21:03]
mod6: aha, yeah, this is where mine eats shit ^ [21:03]
esthlos: BingoBoingo: yes, I think it's time for that [21:03]
BingoBoingo: esthlos: Just remeber, V is more interest in you than you in V [21:04]
mod6: speaking of tree-display... once I spit out the tree for eucrypt, then it makes sense. no reason that you should have to press 'eucrypt_mpi_fix_copy_incr.vpatch' to have pressed 'ch2_truerandom.vpatch' [21:04]
asciilifeform: so to expand : we take each 'out' , and follow it back as far as we can. ( when we meet a nil, we stop recursing, in that branch. ) when we meet a non-nil, recurse. when the recursion unwinds, the actual unixpatch (or phfian patch, for that matter) util invocations, happen. [21:05]
phf: that's what btcbase does™ [21:06]
asciilifeform: phf did it correctly ! [21:07]
asciilifeform: by not copying asciilifeform's orig. hasty, wartime vtron. [21:07]
asciilifeform: but instead implementing the Troo Algo. [21:07]
phf: he get a lot of mileage out of a simple graph walk algorithm [21:08]
asciilifeform: there's definitionally 1 correct graph traversal for any given vtree. [21:08]
asciilifeform: per leaf. [21:09]
asciilifeform: ( per node, really ) [21:09]
asciilifeform: you can press to any node. [21:09]
mod6: Hmm. Ok, well, there *might be* a quick fix to this on my end -- not withstanding important original design flaws pointed out by asciilifeform above ^, seems that I have a possible idiotic thing in my toposort. Once removed, *appears* to do The Right Thing. [21:18]
mod6: Will be looking at this closely/testing, etc. If that indeed becomes the fix, doesn't negate some of the refactors Stan is discussing. And those may be warranted in a later release. [21:20]
mod6: Anyway, more as I have it. Thanks[ [21:20]
