mircea_popescu	what init.cpp are you working on as an a mod6 ?	[09:56]
shinohai	morning #bitcoin-assets	[09:56]
mircea_popescu	(this is prev release, test2)	[09:57]
mircea_popescu	to try and edit diffs by hand ? to nevermind ?	[09:57]
mircea_popescu	ah as luck would have it key.h matches. weird.	[09:58]
mircea_popescu	unsigned char pchSig[10000]; // Can anyone explain why 10`000 ? Enough with the magic numbers already. << for the fucking record.	[10:24]
mircea_popescu	WHO CODES LIKE THIS	[10:25]
copypaste	i'll take a guess, seems like it's a signature, and 10k bytes is the expected length	[10:28]
copypaste	but that seems insanely long	[10:28]
copypaste	perhaps it's some intermediary for a signature, and the final return will be chopped to say something sane like 64, 128	[10:28]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: this kind of thing is pestilentially common in 1) microshit 2) folks who grew up on it. 'i'll leave a massive space on the stack so not to overflow because i can't count and also can't trust myself to put it in heap and remember to free()'	[10:29]
mircea_popescu	fuck that shit.	[10:30]
mircea_popescu	security through "bill gates should be enough to anally satisfy everyone"	[10:30]
copypaste	(2) is surprisingly common	[10:31]
copypaste	i've even seen "security patches" where the patch was to make the stack bigger, even though the stack was the right size to begin with	[10:31]
asciilifeform	i worked with a fella like that	[10:31]
copypaste	"so as not to overflow"	[10:31]
asciilifeform	'if i make it what i think is the right size, it crashes!111'	[10:32]
asciilifeform	i often wonder, do these folks also have two-metre-wide toilet in the house, so as to not miss ?	[10:32]
asciilifeform	a garage big enough for a boeing, so as to not hit the walls ?	[10:33]
asciilifeform	etc.	[10:33]
asciilifeform	part of the reason why software suxx is that the system appears to be quite forgiving of this kind of intellectual sloth	[10:33]
asciilifeform	'what's an extra 10kB'	[10:34]
asciilifeform	forgives, and forgives, until we have a bitcoind that wants a GB/week of ram	[10:34]

mircea_popescu	WHO DOES THESE THINGS	[10:41]
asciilifeform	the heathens, who lack emacs ?	[10:41]
asciilifeform	and others, who edit their shit, who end up forced to use spaces to maintain the width ?	[10:42]
asciilifeform	idiocy is ~contagious~	[10:42]
asciilifeform	i'd happily see the whole shebang reformatted, but this would destroy v-ability	[10:42]
asciilifeform	and is in fact something lusers are famous for doing - recall the folks which the 'comment commits' and 'formatting fixes' who munge entire projects ?	[10:43]
mircea_popescu	fuck that, im making a proper file. the diff looks like the end of the fucking world, but hey.	[10:43]

asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: argh this is painful	[10:51]
mircea_popescu	i know ;/	[10:51]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: you realize, this is likely the biggest patch so far	[10:51]
asciilifeform	and almost all of it is whitespace-munging	[10:51]
mircea_popescu	look, i can't use fucking space allignment. for one thing on some systems i need it 2space and on others 4.	[10:51]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: if you must do this, the right way is to separate the two	[10:52]
mircea_popescu	not to even go into all the semantic degradation when you go from 2 separators to just 1.	[10:52]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: 1 patch for the meat, another where just munge	[10:52]
asciilifeform	because the latter can be machine-checked	[10:52]
mircea_popescu	well, honestly, this wasn't intended as a release candidate, more like a commentary item	[10:52]
asciilifeform	at least in theory	[10:52]
asciilifeform	ok	[10:52]
mircea_popescu	for your convenience ima make one with spaces unmunged, 1 sec.	[10:52]
asciilifeform	ty. i might actually have the stamina to read that one.	[10:53]
asciilifeform	fwiw i've deliberately refrained from munging whitespace or even fixing the asinine { } convention used in trb	[10:54]
asciilifeform	just to minimize touched-line count	[10:54]

asciilifeform	neato mircea_popescu. much better !	[10:55]

*	julmae (~kamak@s247.ip5.netikka.fi) has joined #bitcoin-assets	[10:55]
asciilifeform	because of whitespace ?	[10:55]
mircea_popescu	bullshit like you know, avboiding the word cunt because it might make it impossible for some developers to contribute isn't worth the time of day	[10:56]
mircea_popescu	but spaces for tabs is a fucking disability.	[10:56]
mircea_popescu	asciilifeform tu quoque ffs! just five minutes ago, you got to see what it does.	[10:56]
asciilifeform	the spaces thing is just one in 10,001 sad things in a jupiter-sized ball of sad that is trb.	[10:57]
mircea_popescu	in honesty, without any exaggeration, i would estimate the barrier to contribution that whitespace-for-tab puts in front of me is actually larger than the barrier blindness put in front of chetty.	[10:57]
mircea_popescu	no joking.	[10:57]
mircea_popescu	and i can't be the only one.	[10:57]
asciilifeform	the way this kind of thing is traditionally handled, where i worked, is that you fix the lines you touch.	[10:58]
mircea_popescu	that's what i did.	[10:58]
asciilifeform	in the last paste ?	[10:58]
mircea_popescu	ah. well i fixed the file i touched.	[10:59]
mircea_popescu	srsly, mixed tab/space indentation in a file is worse than either.	[10:59]
asciilifeform	btw,	[10:59]
asciilifeform	+ if (fHighS)	[10:59]
asciilifeform	+ if (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder) < 0)	[10:59]

mircea_popescu	in retrospect, i deeply regret not having had the sense of s/ / /g back when i made the original genesis commit. but... who knew the future then, and sopmehow being true to source, providing untouched water seemed more important. heck, maybe it was, and the only reason i get to regret doing it is having done it, which keeps me from the more bitter regret of having done it.	[11:43]
mircea_popescu	at any rate : maybe it's not too late to fix. what do the lords think about this plan :	[11:43]
mircea_popescu	that once the current version being worked upon is released, we all do a whole-source scouring of spaces, and sign the independently generated results, which will be an immediate, other patch.	[11:43]

mod6	Mornin' all.	[12:12]
mod6	Sorry about the spaces in there where I put in my changes, I can and will fix that for my changes. And yeah, I think post-release it may not be a bad idea to do a one-time-cleanup of all of that.	[12:13]

asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: fwiw i'm heavily in favour of the 'fix only the lines we touch' school of thought. the whole point of pedigreed-vintage trb is that the totality of the changes we made is apparent to the naked eye.	[12:15]

[12:17]
mircea_popescu	mod6 you didn't do it because it wasn't in your code, it only appeared once i snipped a bunch	[12:17]

mircea_popescu	asciilifeform i know ;/	[12:17]
mod6	oh hmm. i think i put in some spaces in there.	[12:17]
mircea_popescu	but ... a specified, machine-verifiable, multi-signed split ? not acceptable ?	[12:17]
mod6	also, about http://dpaste.com/26VKRQG : I left the original code in Sign(...) in the } else { case because i thought it be necessary to have a default. if we don't have one, it forces the user to pick -highs -lows every single time they execute.	[12:19]
assbot	dpaste: 26VKRQG ... ( http://bit.ly/1npAFQi )	[12:19]
mircea_popescu	mod6 this is a point, but really that heathen 10k declaration should go away.	[12:20]
mod6	oh i totally agree. its just an old wart.	[12:20]
mircea_popescu	maybe i'm misreading this, but atm if neither high nor low is picked the code does spit out a sig neh ?	[12:20]
*	DreadKnight (~DreadKnig@unaffiliated/dreadknight) has joined #bitcoin-assets	[12:20]
mircea_popescu	ie, in my paste.	[12:20]
mod6	oh yeah, derp. so in yours it will just skip the compare and if true, subtract sections.	[12:22]
mod6	so that should be fine.	[12:22]
mod6	does anyone have any pref on the commented out DEBUG statements for the finalized one? just remove them?	[12:23]
mod6	yah, i better remove those.	[12:23]
mircea_popescu	they can stay or go, entirely up to you.	[12:23]
mircea_popescu	i don't particularly mind commented-out line tests.	[12:23]
mod6	thanks for all of your comments this morning. I appreciate everyone taking a look at this one.	[12:24]
mircea_popescu	if nothing else gives a good idea of what the author was thinking.	[12:24]
mircea_popescu	actually, forcing a point, commented out line tests is really the first step towards knuth literate coding.	[12:25]
mircea_popescu	which, incidentally, is not to be taken lightly. it occurs to me, looking at all this, that it has a very fundamental function in maintaining codebases of the KIND that bitcoin is.	[12:25]
punkman	there's literate and there's littering	[12:26]
mircea_popescu	specifically, imagine a future in which every line of code has 100 lines of commentary, much like the talmud (which is a VERY proper comparison)	[12:26]
mircea_popescu	now, battles as to change are softened : people discuss reformulations OF THE COMMENTARY.	[12:26]
mircea_popescu	as that changes, changes in code slowly become ever slightly more possible	[12:26]
mircea_popescu	this is a splendid mechanism to provide true consensus.	[12:26]
thestringpuller	LOL >> "Don't forget Mr Popescu, who loves to harp on about how Bitcoin is not for the unwashed masses, just two weeks ago had a hugely embarrassing fiasco where he revealed he hadn't the faintest idea how Bitcoin transactions work.	[12:27]
mircea_popescu	punkman true. hence the 100 lines are the result of numerous different pressures.	[12:27]
thestringpuller	Like most newbies he thought you spent from addresses rather than prior receipts."	[12:27]
mod6	<+asciilifeform> i often wonder, do these folks also have two-metre-wide toilet in the house, so as to not miss ? << i lel'd	[12:27]
mircea_popescu	thestringpuller we can;'t all be geniuses, can we now.	[12:28]
mircea_popescu	of course the talmud gets away with an earth shattering bonus : "other rules notwithstanding, the law in any place is what the law always was there". they can afford, somehow, to keep geographically bound chains that are disjunct. we can't. but hey, chosen people, gets advantages.	[12:30]
mod6	<+mircea_popescu> specifically, imagine a future in which every line of code has 100 lines of commentary, much like the talmud (which is a VERY proper comparison) << I never thought of it this way.	[12:31]
mod6	interesting.	[12:31]
mircea_popescu	that there should be more comment than code in something like bitcoin source seems an unassailable point, to me.	[12:32]
punkman	less cryptic variable naming would also be great	[12:33]
deedbot-	[Trilema] The funny thing about the fallen is that they do not know they fell. - http://trilema.com/2016/the-funny-thing-about-the-fallen-is-that-they-do-not-know-they-fell/	[12:33]
mircea_popescu	not a great fan of vchSig and bs myself, eother.	[12:33]
mod6	i would agree there, but on the basis that the comments are accurate in a technical sense. nothing worse than misleading comments or documentation, as we've recently discussed.	[12:33]
mircea_popescu	mod6 absolutely. hence punkman's point re littering.	[12:34]
mod6	nod	[12:34]
punkman	problem is, who wants 100 patches with comments only	[12:34]
mircea_popescu	me.	[12:34]
mod6	<+mircea_popescu> not a great fan of vchSig and bs myself, eother. << yeah, im not sure why the var name needs to delcare that it is a vector of chars.	[12:34]
mircea_popescu	i suspect this is also msvc widgetry.	[12:34]
mod6	^	[12:35]
mircea_popescu	the problem of tab-spaces is indicative of many similar blessings to come.	[12:36]
mircea_popescu	once half the variables are in one style and half in three or four other styles etc.	[12:36]
mircea_popescu	kinda why i insist we must do the "by file touched" rather than "by lines touched" thing.	[12:36]
mod6	yeah, valid point.	[12:36]
mircea_popescu	a file can't mix unlike things.	[12:36]
mod6	re: your comment about tabs of width 2 or 4; going forward, I'll use width 4.	[12:38]
mircea_popescu	huh ?	[12:38]
mircea_popescu	how are ~you~ going to do anything about it ? i set my machine to show them any way i want.	[12:38]
mod6	right right. but I think i put in some spaces in my code there for alignment. just saying, i'll stick to using four.	[12:39]
mircea_popescu	a yeah.	[12:39]
mod6	your patch really is easier to read since leaving in the vchSig.clear() etc at the top instead of moving it to the bottom like mine had.	[12:41]
*	Xuthus (~x@unaffiliated/xuthus) has joined #bitcoin-assets	[12:41]

mod6	<+mircea_popescu> well, honestly, this wasn't intended as a release candidate, more like a commentary item << ok good deal. was kinda wondering if the forthcoming release patch should bundle this one in or not.	[12:44]
mircea_popescu	well, i do think to some degree your patch should be restated, but not in the sense of replacing it altogether	[12:45]
mod6	Was thinking of putting in alf's latest two also -- but I think we need some confirmation on at least the version string one. shinohai was having some snags with it.	[12:45]

asciilifeform	it is sort of like concept that once came to me in a dream, about some alt-world where all names are sexed, and hence nobody is named 'alice', but 'fmalice', no 'bob', but 'malbob'	[12:49]
mircea_popescu	i don't think the difference was ever stressed enough or for that matter all that well understood. what "big studios" do for software, ie, throwaway crap that's not expected to a) work for everyone or b) work for more than a few years is VERY STRICTLY opposite to what bitcoin does.	[12:49]
mircea_popescu	just like "AAA titles" and eulora have jack in common, but that's a side point.	[12:49]

mircea_popescu	it's as poetic as it gets.	[12:51]
mod6	heheh	[12:51]
asciilifeform	mod6, shinohai: the version string patch works. BUT you will always see the default version in the boot log!! because said printf ~precedes~ the setting of the custom string. this may explain shinohai's confusion.	[12:51]
mircea_popescu	anyway, in ro names are sexed - mircea is the only male name that ends in a.	[12:51]
shinohai	ah now I understand asciilifeform thx	[12:52]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: i've met ro dudes who go by nicknames, e.g., cata (catalin) etc	[12:52]
mircea_popescu	that's not a, that's a~	[12:52]
asciilifeform	ah!	[12:52]
mircea_popescu	actually the convention is you can take any male name add a and name a girl thus.	[12:53]

mircea_popescu	asciilifeform i dunno how classical. perhaps in the gavin aka retarded sense of classical,	[14:26]
asciilifeform	the basic idiocy of unix is that there is NO error checking in any system call	[14:28]

asciilifeform	yes, there are folks who are serious chessboxers. but for some reason i've never heard of such a fella winning a world chess OR boxing title.	[14:50]
asciilifeform	for the most part, nature does not deal in chimeras.	[14:50]
thestringpuller	this reminds me of the heinlein quote: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

asciilifeform	and one of the problems with 'free men' is that growing up as one tends to result in 'an aristotle' - aristocrat, who may be a very sharp fella but is not especially handy with 'slave crafts' and would normally not stoop to, e.g., programming a computer	[14:53]

asciilifeform	this applies to EVERY SINGLE CASE of 'freed' programming type i've ever met or so much as heard of.	[14:57]

asciilifeform	now i've never actually met a chess-boxer. but it would not astonish me if i learned that they keep the company of other boxers and regard actual Großmeisters, who devoted their lives to chess, as effete lusers.	[15:02]

asciilifeform	does mircea_popescu ever wonder about the scarcity of code written by sane folks ?	[15:06]
asciilifeform	i suspect that learning to program is a fundamentally insane act.	[15:06]
asciilifeform	and that this is the prime mover of it all.	[15:06]
mircea_popescu	not so. just like fucking isn't a fundamentally insane act.	[15:06]
asciilifeform	it is rather like asking why circus acrobats are odd folk	[15:06]
mircea_popescu	your arguments exactly mirror a broken version of reality pushed forth by overgrown girls that are yet affraid to be women.	[15:06]
asciilifeform	which one ?	[15:07]
mircea_popescu	"learning to program is a fundamentally insane act."	[15:08]
asciilifeform	it is a hypothesis with much predictive power, and is not altogether different from aristotle's position on whether kings ought to learn blacksmithing	[15:09]
mircea_popescu	still a dead end. exactly equivalent with soviet woman's conclusion that getting married is an exercise in insanity.	[15:09]
asciilifeform	the woman, on the whole, has a biological role	[15:10]
asciilifeform	and tends to break in ways not covered by warranty, as a whole, if fails to perform it	[15:11]
asciilifeform	but as far as i'm aware, there is no biological 'programmer race'	[15:11]
asciilifeform	(as dwarves 'must mine' in 'd&d' universes)	[15:11]
mircea_popescu	i can't say i see merit in any of these propositions.	[15:11]
asciilifeform	i'd be worried if mircea_popescu ~did~ see merit, would suspect that the universe is coming unglued	[15:12]
mircea_popescu	lol	[15:12]
asciilifeform	but in all seriousness, clever folk who strike gold in whatever form, who programmed, tend to gravitate away from it - iirc mthreat is doing a sane thing, flying old ru jets, rather than dredging through cpp crud	[15:15]
asciilifeform	and from mircea_popescu's articles i get the impression that his meatspace friends are respectable folk, 'high power' lawyers, traders, etc. rather than cpp connoisseurs	[15:16]

mircea_popescu	and even mircea_popescu apparently does, on occasion. << actually that dpaste earlier was the first time in at least 10 years.	[15:19]
asciilifeform	at any rate, it is perfectly safe for a king to entertain himself by being a blacksmith, or a sailor - as peter the great did	[15:19]
asciilifeform	(and iirc he was a pretty good one)	[15:19]
mircea_popescu	it's however NOT safe at all for blacksmith to entertain himself by telling stories about what peter does and why.	[15:21]

mircea_popescu	if only we had larger blocks.	[20:58]
mircea_popescu	(actually, if only we had correctly implemented, ie multithreaded and non-io-idiotic, block verifier)	[20:59]
BingoBoingo	So next year will be 3 months to sync, 2018 4 months, 2019 5 months etc.	[21:03]
mircea_popescu	well... i would say 50^ of these two months are roughly due to the last year or so. so basically we'll be seeing +1 month / year indefinitely, as blocks can't get any fuller.	[21:04]
mircea_popescu	by which math, quoite, 6 in 2020, 12 in 2026, two years by 2038 (when something or the other will be fixed in boost, apud satoshi)	[21:05]

mircea_popescu	there is exactly 0 demang for all the crap these dudes keep trying to paint as "innovation".	[21:47]
mircea_popescu	i understand that they have no option, being unable to do anything and ambitious enough to want to be seen doing things. nevertheless.	[21:47]
BingoBoingo	wtf is rbf ? << Yet another weirdo script for double spending unconfirmed transactions with a higher fee. Only pheature is being more polite than just doing it as has always been possible	[21:48]
mircea_popescu	mod6 it wasn't that bad. but there's 1-200 man-hours in there easy going through all those cases and justifying them. not to mention that the ones that will need rewriting most llikely amount to two or three total rewrites of the codebase anyway.	[21:48]

mircea_popescu	or otherwise we could say the reasons are thoroughly comprehensible as they are reprehensible and just hang the lot.	[21:49]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: wouldn't it already be a thing if we had the fee-based mempool sorter ?	[21:50]
mircea_popescu	in a sense. not really.	[21:50]
asciilifeform	i.e. one could displace an unconfirmed tx of fee f by broadcasting doublespend where fee > f, at least with a certain nonzero probability	[21:51]
mircea_popescu	the way this works is that i can say "take this and pay bob and keep a cent" and then later come and say "take this and pay alice instead and keep two cents", making the later guaranteed to overtake the former.	[21:51]
mod6	602 instances of numeric wizardy, yup. lot to track down there. but, thanks again. it needed doing.	[21:51]
mircea_popescu	meanwhile in a sane mempool scheme, a 2 cent payment does not guaranteedly remove a 1 cent one from the mempool.	[21:51]
mircea_popescu	maybe the cutoff is at a tenth of a cent ?	[21:51]
pete_dushenski	asciilifeform: i can definitely say that the trb history is adding to ~my~ confusion, but i don't see that as something to be avoided. my hope is that i'll eventually make enough sense of this to relay it concisely to others. still much work to do, no doubt.	[21:51]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: how did his scheme ~guarantee~ ?	[21:52]
asciilifeform	seems to me that a miner can stuff any valid tx into a block	[21:52]
mircea_popescu	yeah, there is that.	[21:52]
mircea_popescu	but you know, the miners will implement whatever pr-derps tell them to!111	[21:52]

mod6	Everything looks ok to me. When not specifying a highs or lows flag, txn went through just fine no malleation. When '-lows' flag was passed, txn went through just fine, no malleation. WHen the '-highs' flag was passed, txns were malleated, as expected.	[22:06]
mircea_popescu	incidentally, and unrelatedly to the "magic numbers" avenue of trb improvement : one obvious anbd cheap hardening for trb would be to allow the user control of entropy source.	[22:06]
mircea_popescu	it is plainly inconceivable anyone uses a wallet for payments and doesn't do this.	[22:07]
mircea_popescu	yet from what i know 99% actually do just that.	[22:07]
mod6	So yep, pretty much same results as yesterday, althought it is noteable that not passing any flag at all ; no txns were dropped on the floor. They wern't malleated yesterdayr either, so it could have just been lots of spam yesterday or something similar.	[22:07]
mod6	But noteable.	[22:07]
mircea_popescu	this includes most "bitcoin businesses" in fiat.	[22:07]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: this means zapping openssl, realize.	[22:08]
asciilifeform	is the only reason i didn't do it.	[22:08]
mircea_popescu	i realise.	[22:08]
mircea_popescu	well... we also have to eval the new scp251 or w/e package.	[22:08]
mircea_popescu	mod6 spam is roughly 2x what it was yest. only 6.4k or so txn, vs 9k yest, however 65+mb worth	[22:08]
mod6	ok interesting.	[22:09]
mircea_popescu	oldest txn still from the 18th.	[22:09]
mircea_popescu	now of course, what exactly is the mempool as far as each node is concerned varies, and the miner's nodes especially. so it's an iffy thing. anyway.	[22:10]
mod6	re: entropy topic, perhaps ya, we can do something like this when we have a crypto lib 'eh?	[22:10]
mircea_popescu	mod6 i don't think we can not read the wtf is that thing called	[22:10]
mircea_popescu	libsecp256k1	[22:10]

gabriel_laddel	mircea_popescu: what, for free?	[23:19]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: believe or not, i once wrote to the various folks claiming to have the 6216	[23:19]
mircea_popescu	gabriel_laddel no, for money o.O	[23:19]

asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: the thing i wanted to do would've required several, and i lacked the dough at the time.	[23:21]
asciilifeform	plus the possibility of scam	[23:21]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: How many, exactly?	[23:21]
asciilifeform	at least 8.	[23:22]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: it should be possible to test them before purchase, right?	[23:22]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: how on earth do you propose to do THAT ?	[23:22]
ben_vulpes	http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1379618 << dunno about this. laborious for certain, and would make the whole thing 10x more likely to 'fit in head'.	[23:22]
assbot	Logged on 21-01-2016 13:39:59; asciilifeform: i'd happily see the whole shebang reformatted, but this would destroy v-ability	[23:22]
asciilifeform	ben_vulpes: wtf?	[23:22]
asciilifeform	how does altering whitespace do anything for fit-in-head.	[23:22]
asciilifeform	GET A SANE EDITOR folks	[23:22]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: to vendor: "if this is the real deal it should be able to run this program [include ascii file here], if it fries, I'm not buying it."	[23:22]
BingoBoingo	whitespace is all about fits in eyes, not head	[23:23]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: you do understand that these parts don't socket, right ?	[23:23]
gabriel_laddel	"send me photos of output"	[23:23]
ben_vulpes	consistency of code shape is a thing for mortals like myself	[23:23]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: I do not.	[23:23]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: so how do I run a program on one of these things without a socket connection?	[23:24]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: you mount it to a board	[23:24]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: and what, load in a binary?	[23:24]
gabriel_laddel	can I unmount it afterwards without breaking it?	[23:25]

asciilifeform	and no.	[23:25]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: Isn't the whole purpose of an FPGA that I can program it in place?	[23:25]
asciilifeform	incidentally there ~was~ once a socket for these (pga299)	[23:25]
ben_vulpes	http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1379662 << and how do you feel about mixed carriage returns and crlfs?	[23:26]
assbot	Logged on 21-01-2016 13:56:38; mircea_popescu: it's bad enough in a project. in a same file it's insufferable.	[23:26]
mircea_popescu	ben_vulpes meh. they're equally stupid, but shouldn't get in the way of anything.	[23:26]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: fpga is pretty much never mounted in a socket (the low end xilinx cpld, e.g., 95xx series, do come in plcc - but high pin count makes this a bitch)	[23:27]
ben_vulpes	mircea_popescu: btw why do you prefer tabs to 4 spaces?	[23:27]
mircea_popescu	it's in the log!	[23:27]

mod6	mircea_popescu: qq, would you be alright with this error message, as opposed to yours which has a line number in it: printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed in key.h:Sign()");	[23:27]
ben_vulpes	hm	[23:27]
mircea_popescu	mod6 sure.	[23:28]
*	mod6 is a bit worried that we may have to additionally maintain possible changing line numbers.	[23:28]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: the other thing is that my understanding is that the 6216 was never produced in serious quantity	[23:28]
mircea_popescu	it's too soon for that, i guess.	[23:28]
mod6	ok cool. I think an error like that narrows it down pretty good.	[23:28]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: surely we can turn up eight of them.	[23:28]
mircea_popescu	(you have to understand - in principle, the extra maintenance is a mark of both fit in headness and "we really read these patches")	[23:28]
mircea_popescu	so it's not a bad thing. but maybe not its time yet.	[23:28]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: it isn't like they're being used for something useful anywhere else.	[23:28]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: you can turn up as many as you like and mount'em yourself.	[23:29]
mod6	mircea_popescu: ya, not a bad thing at all. but yeah, maybe eventually we move to that once the source "cools down" so to speak.	[23:30]
mircea_popescu	aha.	[23:30]
*	mircea_popescu shudders at the simple count of how many return fail; there are that don't say anything else.	[23:31]
gabriel_laddel	asciilifeform: To be clear, the part # for this is: XC6216-2HQ240C?	[23:31]
asciilifeform	gabriel_laddel: there were at least four package variants.	[23:31]
asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: he's after the legendary 'dragonfly' fpga.	[23:32]
