mircea_popescu: in other tales from the cave of noir, "big combo" is almost just as nonsensical as "his kind of woman". the sheer pile of nonsense in these things, jesus christ. NOTHING works. [02:34]
mircea_popescu: i suspect they wrote the scripts by drawing cards. [02:34]
esthlos: mircea_popescu: is there a list of supported html tags for comments on trilema? [08:39]
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-25#319501 << yeah lemme check it. [11:16]

phf: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-23-mar-2018#2413981 << i already fixed it, but took longer than usual because there was a new issue, i haven't seen before. when bot recovers, it asks additional sources for missed messages, which uses timestamp amongst other things for fuzzy merge. the drift between servers exceeded the hardcoded 15s, so the merge was failing out on asserts. goes back to the ntp threads [15:26]
a111: Logged on 2018-03-23 16:42 asciilifeform: wakeup phf. yer bot ran away. [15:26]
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-15#1787861 << fixed [15:28]

hanbot: cooldeal [15:29]
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787751 << oh duh, missed opportunity. i thought the idea was to integrate trinque's design into code where appropriate, but it makes sense that i could've just used the design for my release. [15:31]
a111: Logged on 2018-03-13 19:11 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787748 << just about, yes. i wanted a model file so we have something to play with and the original concept was to have phf include it in his v tree of his v rewrite because it seemed the first item that's coming out at the time from l1 hands but if it's holding you back re tmsr-portage, go ahead and make the sample yourself and we'll see how it works. [15:31]
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-18#1788161 << sadly i have to scratch this i have a genesis file but testing etc is waiting on having a site again. i let some shit into my wine with the nfs choice, and moreover i should've jumped on them the moment shitpay's final coffin nail was discussed here. apologies to anyone waiting on it --s'not forgotten, but it will be late. [15:32]
a111: Logged on 2018-03-18 00:30 hanbot: speaking of which, i'll have a genesis of mp-wp up this coming week. [15:32]
phf: hanbot: are you using the new differ to produce this? [15:33]
mircea_popescu: phf wb [15:33]
hanbot: the non-keccack new differ, yeah [15:33]
phf: a ty [15:33]
mircea_popescu: wait, non-keccack ? [15:33]
hanbot: mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=vtools&search= << to the right. [15:36]
mircea_popescu: hanbot why would you follow the dead branch i don't get it ? [15:38]
hanbot: as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786971 [15:40]
a111: Logged on 2018-03-05 18:24 phf: the release have been branched, and you press to two different heads if you want a sha or keccak version, but specifically for hanbot's purposes, sha vdiff is available, with the "no newline" issue fixed, as per http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak/#selection-95.221-99.40 [15:40]
mircea_popescu: follow the mainline. whole fucking point is to move vpatching to keccak mechanism. don't genesis on the old style why would you. [15:40]
hanbot: no reason i know of that i can't revert though. alright, glad this came up now, then. [15:41]
mircea_popescu: yeh. [15:41]
phf: hanbot: note that http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-vpatch/#selection-147.0-192.0 i'm going to fix it by wednesday, but if you can give me an unsigned rough draft of a keccak mp-wp.vpatch before then, i'll be able to use it as a test [15:48]
hanbot: phf kk, i'll shoot for that [15:50]
diana_coman: ave1, answered [15:51]
mircea_popescu: nice answer. [15:53]
* mircea_popescu supports the principle espoused. [15:53]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and I'm glad ave1 asked this actually, as it strikes me as a point where a reader would hurry in to "optimise" the code potentially [15:59]
mircea_popescu: myeah. [15:59]
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787317 << дневник as typed with jcuken but on a qwerty layout. it's an old derogatory runet term for diary writing, but in this case it's the default category i use that i forgot to change [16:02]

a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 18:03 mircea_popescu: also fucking terrible comments interface you got there how do i know how many there are ? before clicking on the article and how do i visually separate them, and why aren't they numbered and so on. [16:17]
mircea_popescu: stolen takes one l [16:29]
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-23#1785647 [16:29]
a111: Logged on 2018-02-23 03:23 hanbot: phf anyway re your footnote four, i think it looks great, and stolen takes one l, though "stollen from elsewhere" sounds delicious [16:29]
mircea_popescu: did we sort footnote 3 to your satisfaction btw ? [16:29]
phf: yeah, we settled on a pragmatic "sort it as ASCII", which works for me, but i need to think about it some more, and at least do a write up on the subject. i mean, ascii has some funny properties, like some symbols come before numbers, some after numbers, and yet some more after letters, e.g. the ordering of 1A+~? is +1A?~ [16:41]
mircea_popescu: aite. [16:41]
mircea_popescu: yeah, the symbols is the iffiest part. [16:41]
phf: err, the ordering of 1A+~? is +1?A~ [16:42]
mircea_popescu: letters-numbers-everythingelse seems logical-er, given that you want to extend the list, if at all, towards the end [16:42]
phf: right [16:42]
phf: we could perhaps go with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, and for symbols specifically go with symbol ordering from ascii [16:44]
phf: but i'm not sure the added complexity improves anything, until we go full chuck moore with a pervasive custom encoding scheme on a system level. [16:44]
mircea_popescu: quite. [16:52]
mircea_popescu: no tmsr-fs, no tmsr-ascii. [16:53]

hanbot: my grocer moved from listing things on receipt by their order on conveyor (which i diligently sort so i can do weekly accounting at a sane rate) to alphabetical. in other seemingly miniscule things that end up being completely maddening. 10 mins ---> 30 mins + neckache, fuxory. [21:47]
mircea_popescu: is it at least ascii alphabetical, or do they do javaturd unicode alphabetical ? [21:47]
hanbot: alphapaininthebuttical. [21:48]
mircea_popescu: incidentally, "every shop must have a website (with ssl everywhere!!!)" and "every customer must have a loyalty card" trends of useless nonsense somehow haven't converged to the most basic sanity of, "give us your rsa pubkey, then download your data from our website whenever you want to, just go to shop.com/yourname" [21:49]
mircea_popescu: how is it, that they'll go to all the trouble but only just as long as it's not doing anything useful ? [21:50]
mircea_popescu: i rewatched gents prefer blondes, earlier. it's "holywood takes out all stops", but amusingly in their quest for "over the top decadence" and other delicious salamis, they have uberdressed girls tied to a spurious spinning chandelier RATHER THAN taking anyone's top off. [21:51]
mircea_popescu: cuz that's how fucking decadence goes, you get to the "dozen girls hanging from the light fixture" WAY WAY WAAAAY before you get to topless. [21:51]
hanbot: mpaa sez topless grocery expentitures are illegal! [21:51]
mircea_popescu: anything BUT the useful. what "united states", call it grandstanding pointlessness and be done. [21:52]
hanbot: and i'm not even in the us. [21:54]
mircea_popescu: oh. [21:54]
