| BingoBoingo: | Apparently they premised a TV show episode around it | [00:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | the problem with cultural appropriation as a content generation strategy is that it only works if there's a fucking culture in the first place. | [00:09] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: they 'modernized' a 'dr jeckyll and mr. hyde' or wut | [00:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | ustards, ever smarter than the next ustard, managed to build this system whereby nobody has to do any work and everyone has hats through stealing the neigbour's. how the fuck that system's supposed to work is anyone's guess, but here we go : | [00:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | averagetard excepts to crochet a culture out of what he sees on tv and tv expects to crochet programming out of averagetard culture. | [00:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | the pain and suffering echo chamber resultant is supposed to come as a surprise i guess ? | [00:10] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Anti-free will episode | [00:17] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: how's that wurk? i thought 'tulpas' were supposed to be specifically ~deliberately~ grown multiple personalities | [00:18] |

| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes wtf is "parse" | [00:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: eldritch horror | [00:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | oh mkay, "Clash of kings" | [00:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | you know how mobile devs can't in2 servers? | [00:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | apple spam"game" | [00:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | it was | [00:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | oh god | [00:21] |
| asciilifeform: | why am i reading this, ben_vulpes | [00:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: to revel in others suffering ofc | [00:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | lmao "sold as a package deal with fb advertising" | [00:22] |
| asciilifeform: | i liked BingoBoingo's kunstkamer moar | [00:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | you are reading this, asciilifeform , because in your head you imagine the empire works. | [00:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | bezos does this thing with the timeshare where he'll keep a virtual instance image warmish and boot it when the rest of the system says "hey we got a request for that instance" | [00:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | well | [00:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | IT DOES NOT. it's not just that "traction - 1mn apps, largest with 40mn users" means ~same as zip | [00:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's that the core parts of mordor infrastructure aren't even worth operating. | [00:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | near as i can tell, and it tripped my retard alerts fast so i didn't invest much in determining how it works, someone used that to make a "database as a service" for mobiledevz | [00:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | which to quasiquote mircea_popescu "what is even a native mobile developer" | [00:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | anyways, it never worked despite facebook buying and trying to make it do so | [00:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | "Technical problem I: complicated rate limiting. If limit exceeded by a factor of 60 for a minute, requests were dropped. Limits were tracked using a shared Memcache instance. Consequence: when developers experienced rate limits in the API, they added retries. The retries incurred enormous load in the Parse backend." <<< translation : "we are three years old. wut is dis ?" | [00:24] |
| ben_vulpes: | and to quote myself in another channel, "soz for cynicism but if it looks like madness and a tower of abstractions written by frontend devs who don't in2 systems...it probably is." | [00:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | these fucktards, unqualified to wipe their own drool, dare dream of "revolutionizing the way that..." ? wtf, | [00:24] |
| BingoBoingo: | Anyways the alerts that feed the art room are varied https://archive.is/kSI0y | [00:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | where's that cartoon about "hey guise, i heard about bitcoin/sex/eating/world yesterday, I AM HERE TO FIX IT" | [00:25] |
| BingoBoingo: | On Trilema!!! | [00:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | a right. | [00:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | pity nobody reads trilema. | [00:25] |
| BingoBoingo: | lol | [00:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | no dude, obscure service had 1mn apps of 40mn users each! | [00:25] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: 'apps' ain't 'the empire' tho, they're panem et circenses | [00:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform facebook entirely exists out of spamming bs apple games. | [00:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's pretty much that + "stories from around the web -- find out the secret glassblowers don't want you to know about how a mother of two in vincente lopez lost five kgs off her coffee mug each morning one weird trick!" | [00:27] |
| ben_vulpes: | http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-09-feb-2017#2238667 << "It also takes miners -- despite their state of the art equipment, access to electricity, and cooling -- increasingly longer to verify bitcoin transactions" oh get right the fuck out tell that to the myriad instablocks | [00:27] |

| mircea_popescu: | "Parse Server Server was Rails at first (with 24 threads max. concurrency) with very little throughput per server (~1530 requests per second) The server was later rewritten in Go. The open-source Parse server is written Node.js and lacks many functionalities of the original Parse server in Go." <<< holy shit, can you believe the idiocy ? "we wasted a bunch of money doing stupid shit because we truly believe" | [00:27] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: ^^ is why you're reading this | [00:28] |
| ben_vulpes: | because omfg the hilarity | [00:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes listen, you're quoting a bullshit mfa trying to product place some inept dork. he did nothing is nobody random words in a string. | [00:28] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: you want random words in a string, you shoulda seen the guy pitching "a cryptocurrency blockchain signature solution to the marijuana regulatory burden" the other night | [00:29] |
| ben_vulpes: | buddy if you get crypto involved in your drug production it can only be to hose the state, but w/e | [00:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | "Backend was completely on Amazon Web Services It was planned to migrate Parse to Facebooks infrastructure (e.g. Haystack, Tao, F4, Extended Apache Giraph, Gorilla) but the project was abandoned Roughly 8 developers working on SDKs, 8 on the server, 8 DevOps + a few more engineers" <<< 1) no it was not "planned", fuckwads don't have mp certificate in planning, may not claim they are engaging in any planning. the prop | [00:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | er term is "was butthole - to - nose - fingered". not fucking planning. | [00:29] |
| asciilifeform: | all i see is buncha sad folx in penal servitude, for some peculiar reason spending their scarcely-existing free time writing about the wheelbarrows, the dirt, the scurvy. | [00:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | and b) holy shit, 8 "engineers" ? kids with whispy chin-only beards stuffing their tongue up an asshole aren't engineers. they're kids with whispy chin beards stuffing their tongue up an asshole. | [00:30] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: wait 'till you get to "what it got right" | [00:30] |
| ben_vulpes: | "the web ui" | [00:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform except not. | [00:30] |
| ben_vulpes: | "looks pretty, doesn't work" | [00:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | ahahaha database "40 mongodb replica sets 3 nodes each" | [00:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | who the fuck. seriously now. this made sense somewhere ? | [00:31] |
| ben_vulpes: | "i.e. writes were confirmed before they were replicated" | [00:32] |
| ben_vulpes: | anyone remember the "no seriously flush to disk" flag? | [00:32] |
| ben_vulpes: | ===== | [00:32] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: proud tradition of penny-in-the-fusebox lives on! | [00:33] |
| BingoBoingo: | <asciilifeform> all i see is buncha sad folx in penal servitude, for some peculiar reason spending their scarcely-existing free time writing about the wheelbarrows, the dirt, the scurvy. << lol, when the weather warms up I may blog some on personal blog about wheelbarrows, dirt and anti-scurvy | [00:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | "Slave reads were allowed for performance reasons" << check it out, apparently it's in the sql spec after all. even on mondoshit >D | [00:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | "Partial updates were problematic as small updates to large docs got write amplification when being written to oplog" <<< aaahahahaha. | [00:34] |
| ben_vulpes: | persistence is slow and competence expensive, what is a sv fingertrap author to do but eschew writes to disk and hire the lowest common denominator? | [00:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's this film with that inept idiot from whatever cars film, the one with an adriano celentano like mug. he's supposedly the capo of this son-of-mobster inept douche and his main spoken line is something like "500. that's how many bla bla". | [00:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is what the "8. engineers." makes me think of. | [00:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrB9pG10PZ4 << 8. 8 engineers. 8 skd guys. 8 dicks up my ass. | [00:35] |
| asciilifeform: | prefer lockheed, ibm, 9000 engineers ? | [00:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | 8. 8 engineers. | [00:35] |
| ben_vulpes: | and my favorite | [00:37] |
| ben_vulpes: | " if important customers lost data due to human error, Facebook engineers would manually recover it from periodic backups" | [00:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | by now nobody actually has the faintest inkling of a clue as to how computers actually run. at all. whatsoever. | [00:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | i am the fuck ahead of the 8 engineers, and i'm not even a coder. | [00:38] |
| ben_vulpes: | you have to identify as "a coder" to even consider the stuff | [00:39] |
| ben_vulpes: | coders support tool diversity, of course | [00:39] |
| ben_vulpes: | get excited about things, support people. | [00:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | "The object-level ACL system was highly inefficient. Numerours indexes were required that could sometimes surpass the actual data size by a factor of 34." << i guess i'm the only one with production dbs where the indexes are 90%+ of the whole thing ? | [00:40] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: i am not at all convinced that these folx individuated, and able to 'identify' | [00:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | wtf is wrong wit hthese people. the index to data factor isn't a benchmark of efficiency. | [00:40] |
| asciilifeform: | they simply went to it, like 19th c irish emigre to the bottle and the railroad. | [00:40] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: i think that's indices of just the acl 'tables' | [00:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | now this is so. | [00:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes ahaha WHAT | [00:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | the unthinkable is unthinkable. | [00:41] |
| ben_vulpes: | heh | [00:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | but... but how ?! | [00:41] |
| ben_vulpes: | got a case of mongo. everything else follows. | [00:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | they ended up with unbounded complexity in the "acl" system which really just happened to be the rug corner under which we brush everything we don't know how to do, didn't it. | [00:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | i see it. | [00:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | see, this is the thing with these idiots, you can hire 8 of them, and they'll happily go to work. on THE PARTS of the problem that they understand. | [00:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | in the process creating a contorted mess. | [00:42] |
| ben_vulpes: | sane and halfway intelligent folks refuse to touch it, so you're stuck with the dregs and their decisions. | [00:42] |
| asciilifeform: | and hey if it's good enough for phd with haskell, why not plebe. | [00:42] |
| ben_vulpes: | where "decisions" ===== "the code i produced that appeared to work a few weeks ago" | [00:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | "As there was no mechanism for concurrency control (except for minimal support for things like counters), applications were often inconsistent" << then people wonder why us ships don't work. | [00:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | "Parse did a lot of things right." | [00:43] |
| ben_vulpes: | *drumroll* | [00:43] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: the ships still run win98, bit of a lag | [00:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | documentation was great ? are they INSANE ? | [00:43] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: not according to the DSMIX | [00:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | !!rate felix gessert -10 irredeemable idiot. | [00:44] |
| deedbot: | hands you a broomstick. | [00:44] |
| ben_vulpes: | :D | [00:44] |
| ben_vulpes: | part and parcel of the "damn the correctness, all attention to developer uptake" | [00:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | http://68.media.tumblr.com/093b24e8470460bd1a280961dd3ebc52/tumblr_n4z5z76XCH1tauas6o2_500.gif << dirt is better than stupidity, in that when dirty chicks lick each other it can be kinda-hot. | [00:45] |
| ben_vulpes: | neat bike | [00:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | i imagine the conceit is they were working on it | [00:46] |
| ben_vulpes: | "it'll work, eventually" | [00:46] |
| ben_vulpes: | correctness is not a thing to bolt on after the fact. | [00:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | no i meant chicks and bike | [00:47] |
| ben_vulpes: | shit must work, first, because it was designed to work. touchy-feelie boob grabs come after. | [00:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | hehe | [00:48] |
| ben_vulpes: | unrelatedly, BingoBoingo have you ever messed with "biochar" as soil amendment? | [00:50] |
| ben_vulpes: | gasified wood, notionally provides surface area for bacterial colonization and drastically reduces fertilizer/nutrient depletion | [00:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | sounds like the sort of bs that works in the lab only. | [00:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes do they sell calcinated bone as a fertilizer where you live ? | [00:52] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: oddly enough comes from the "permaculture" wackjobs | [00:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | that's the historical as well as correct solution for that problem. spread it out before a storm. | [00:53] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: i can buy many industrial products, but am not particularly interested in more dependencies on plant-produced amendments | [00:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | bone ash is pre-industrial. it's, for one thing, how china was traditionally made. | [00:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm telling you, if you somehow (which i doubt you did, but taking you at your word) decided your soil's problem is lack of bacteria substrate, then bone ash is what you want to solve it with. | [00:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | who the fuck heard of this, wood structure. bacteria eats wood. | [00:55] |
| ben_vulpes: | ~charcoal | [00:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | nah. | [00:56] |
| ben_vulpes: | nah what | [00:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | nah it'd better not be charcoal. | [00:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | holy shit it is. | [00:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | wtf is wrong with people. | [00:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes you stiumbled on a fine example of "spreading-works". do not add coal to soil you plan to cultivate. | [00:58] |
| ben_vulpes: | 'tis not 'coal', but i'd appreciate a primer on why not | [00:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | dumbest idea i ever heard. and oh look, wikipedia explains "it's under investigation for carbon sequestration". so they're going to get you to ruin your garden to make their meaningless metrics go the way the cult decided they must go. and someone somewhere is buying into this ?! | [00:59] |
| ben_vulpes: | you gotta burn the gas off, so i have nfi where the "good for co2 metrics" comes from | [01:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes the microbiology involved is anything but settled. from the lengthy human experience on the topic, coal is a miserable substrate for a garden. | [01:00] |
| ben_vulpes: | specifically not coal. | [01:00] |
| ben_vulpes: | wood out of which one burns the various tars. | [01:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes charcoal is coal. | [01:01] |
| ben_vulpes: | coal is not the hydrogen-rich rock dug from ground now? | [01:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | "amorphous pile of mostly carbon" | [01:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes no. carbon-rich. | [01:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes as a rough heuristic for this matter, if you were to be locked in a room, would you prefer the room contain a large lump of cake or a large lump of people ? | [01:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | because plants aren't all that different in this respect. if you wish to add something to the soil, carbon's the absolute worst choice. | [01:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | they get that from the air, not from the soil. | [01:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | (guru meditation : whence does a tree's mass come from ?) | [01:04] |
| ben_vulpes: | aight, next pile of nuttery to riddle: anaerobic composting of food waste | [01:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | what about it ? | [01:04] |
| ben_vulpes: | also hokum? | [01:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | certainly not in thbat general form | [01:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | i imagine they are trying to get out of smells ? | [01:07] |
| ben_vulpes: | smells, turning, meat/dairy as feedstock to boot | [01:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | mmm, that part is kind-of dubious, but i guess it depends on how your latrine's set up. | [01:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | understand, the definition of septic tank / latrine isn't "where people shit", much like a fridge isn't "the hole in the kitchen wall food comes from". if meat goes in, then it's a latrine, nqa. | [01:09] |
| ben_vulpes: | what might handicap the meat/dairy handling? | [01:09] |
| ben_vulpes: | i have nfi re latrine design | [01:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | bacteria that digest meat also digest people bacteria that digest plants (and dairy) don't. | [01:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | why would you want to compost meat anyway. | [01:12] |
| ben_vulpes: | complexity reduction in waste pipeline, ~ | [01:12] |
| ben_vulpes: | i suppose the smart thing to do is make a highly reduced stock? | [01:12] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: consider pig? | [01:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes how about not buying more than you eat. | [01:13] |
| asciilifeform: | and ^ | [01:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | the correct way to handle meat waste is to beat the women. | [01:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | slash children. | [01:13] |
| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: even i can only scour so much off the bones | [01:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | no system will ever compost bones. you need a furnace for that | [01:13] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: donthca keep dogz? | [01:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | as teh national socialists found out recently. | [01:13] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: i have been thoroughly terrorized by the fud around passing bones to dogs | [01:14] |
| asciilifeform: | waaiwat | [01:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | eh get out, they'll be fine. | [01:14] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: if you had a defective dog that chokes on bone, wouldn't you rather know early on | [01:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | but, dogs aren't bone eating machines. they just crack them to get to the marrow. you still get stuck with the bone. | [01:16] |
| asciilifeform: | only thing that 'eats' bone -- is woodchipper | [01:16] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: concern is more along lines of splintering and intestine perforation | [01:16] |
| asciilifeform: | (and, as mircea_popescu pointed out, the finalsolutionatron) | [01:17] |
| ben_vulpes: | i'd be satisfied if the bones were rendered unattractive to pests. | [01:17] |
| ben_vulpes: | would rather not bifurcate waste handling streams if unnecessary. | [01:17] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: there is no convenient pill against bones, it is why archaeologists have with what to work. | [01:19] |
| ben_vulpes: | as i said, uninterested in full breakdown. | [01:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes chicken bones are a problem for some (retarded) dogs otherwise notrly. | [01:21] |
| asciilifeform: | does ben_vulpes still live in that shithole where they charge for rubbish pickup by the pound? | [01:21] |
| asciilifeform: | i gotta wonder, what prompted this line of thought | [01:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | you mean, "the civilised our democracy" ? | [01:21] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: hey i can throw out a concert piano!!1 | [01:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes i doubt you actually get enough bones to make this worthwhile thinking about but if you do - make your own bone ash! put in garden! | [01:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | from experience, once the pig farm goes over 500 heads, bone furnace becomes worth it. | [01:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: you know how photosynthesis reduces electron energy by lowering its potential down gradually through a series of steps? | [01:22] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: burn'em with leather. --> cyanide. | [01:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | i am reluctant to consign material from which i may yet extract $use to the public pit | [01:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | so then carve the bones and sell at faire. | [01:23] |
| asciilifeform: | flutes. | [01:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | fun fact : in french shin and flute are the same thing. because... they are the same thing. | [01:24] |

| mircea_popescu: | whereas prior versions claim all dependencies are satisfied, and then SILENTLY DIE | [16:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | because "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found" | [16:21] |

| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: post strace of the silently-die ? | [16:22] |

| mircea_popescu: | steam ? | [16:27] |
| asciilifeform: | aha | [16:27] |
| asciilifeform: | which, for some perverse reason, was dynamically linked | [16:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | no dude, it's like, on reddit. and our democracy. what do you mean! | [16:28] |
| asciilifeform: | (for all that has been said re winblowz, at least this is yet-unknown there) | [16:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | the perverse reason is quite evident : they don't want to pay akamai for downloads. | [16:28] |
| asciilifeform: | actually that probably isn't the reason (the crapola all summed, weighs, what, a few MB.) | [16:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | because, let us revisit : PARSE! http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1612846 | [16:29] |
| a111: | Logged on 2017-02-10 05:43 mircea_popescu: "Parse did a lot of things right." | [16:29] |
| asciilifeform: | reason is that 'modern' gcc WON'T statically link, without contortions | [16:29] |
| asciilifeform: | (which contortions -- is familiar subj to more or less everyone here) | [16:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | ie, it's not ACTUALLY WORTH IT for valve because they're trying to cater to the imbeciles whoi "but mp, what do you mean mpex seats cost!" and those... have no money. | [16:29] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: betcha keeping around 'support' monkey, to answer mail from 'IT DUN WORK!!11' whiners, costs something | [16:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform you can still deliver a full package, if you're actually serious about being serious. | [16:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform they don't. | [16:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | that went away long, long ago, with google. | [16:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | basicallyt the great success of the FOSS was that corporations used them to spearhead cost reductions. no longer is there any need to, for instance, offer any support. they're open source! except not. | [16:31] |
| asciilifeform: | incidentally it is quite debatable imho whether a 'linux box' with closed-turd gpu driver is in any useful sense a linux box. | [16:31] |
| asciilifeform: | to begin with. | [16:31] |
| asciilifeform: | regardless of which libc you have. | [16:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | this isn't a theoretical discussion. i'm not about to upgrade libc. | [16:32] |
| asciilifeform: | well noshit. | [16:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | i don't care "whjat this says", it's not fucking fashion. | [16:32] |
| asciilifeform: | but pointing out that the 'camel's nose' already long ago entered on any box where running, e.g., 'steam', is contemplated. | [16:32] |
| asciilifeform: | not much steaming to be had on ye olde matrox. | [16:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | i dunno, about half their games are actually from the matrox period. | [16:46] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: if you find that they are playable on a box with soft-emulated ('mesa') gpu, i will be pleasantly surprised | [16:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | some, yeah. | [16:52] |
| thestringpuller: | Linux was just a placeholder to transition to SteamOS. | [17:18] |
