* assbot gives voice to gabriel_laddel [00:03]
gabriel_laddel I've actually done very little development for this dirtro. Most of my time has been spent finding perfect little individual peices and assembling them. Out of the box it has: [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - documentation (current borked b/c of gentoo's USE flag problems - cyclic dependencies) [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - Conkeror browser hooked up to parenscript. [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - the best GUI library available on current architectures (CLIM - Commmon Lisp Interface Manager). [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - millions LoC less than the browser, at least 10x more expressive. [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - based on funtoo, sources for all programs are included by default. [00:03]
gabriel_laddel - symbolic algebra via Maxima [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - 3D plotting facilities (animation, zooming etc.) No gnuplot or browser hackery. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - state saving and restoration (currently broken) [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - lesson system [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - habit system [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - dashboard that reports e.g., LoC for the entire system. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel - js->ps transpiler (needs work) [00:04]
gabriel_laddel The browser, window manager, gui library and emacs are all connected to the same common lisp process and are explorable at runtime. Conkeror is based on Emacs and shares some of the same conceptual foundation, thus, the whole experience feels very lispy. The lessons system is 'dialed-in'. For example, you can specify that the user is to scroll to 80% of a particular URL, at which point you want the windows arranged [00:04]
gabriel_laddel 1/2 emacs 1/2 clim gui and XYZ files open with a (emacs) window arrangement just so. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel The state saving facility allows for saving saving and restoration of all URLs, scroll locations, files and window arrangement on a whim. CLIM gui applications that obey the recommended architecture can also trivially plug into this system. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel There are several other things that simply "make sense", but have somehow not found their way into mainstream linux. One of which is the dashboard. Currently it lists how many lisp LoC and projects are running on the entire machine. It also manages the habits system and allows for one to say, practice mathematics for 1 hours a day without fail, at which point it restores the state prior to starting the habit. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel All state is saved via persistent CLOS by default. [00:04]
gabriel_laddel no explicit transactions etc. necessary. Just `setf' the state of the object in question. [00:05]
asciilifeform state saving and restoration << sbcl's 'save world and die' ? [00:05]
gabriel_laddel asciilifeform: Nope. Though I should include that. The state saving is for files, window layouts, urls and their scroll locations. [00:06]
gabriel_laddel asciilifeform: iirc that SBCL functionality needs some work before it is ready for production. [00:07]

gabriel_laddel And adds to it, e.g., when you start your daily mathematics practice it will pull up the previous state from where you left off. [00:14]

asciilifeform there is a ru idiom, 'Дело шито белыми нитками' - 'the [criminal] case is sewn with white thread.' [02:10]
asciilifeform it comes from the old-fashioned binding that was used in ussr for court documents - ordinary thread and cardboard cover [02:10]
asciilifeform when seals were stamped onto the pages in the binder, the thread - originally white - would turn blue, black, red, depending on the colour of the seal on that page [02:11]
asciilifeform but if the pages were moved around at a later date, from the state monkeying with the record, the thread would have to be cut and replaced [02:12]
asciilifeform and would end up white in places where one would expect to see a colour. [02:12]
asciilifeform hence idiom is used to describe criminal cases such as, well, this one. [02:12]

mircea_popescu Adlai im no sure what this is supposed to be ? [04:38]
Adlai how to do deeds efficiently [04:38]
mircea_popescu mno. [04:38]
mircea_popescu it's not how to do deeds efficiently, it's how to include people you don't know. i am not interested. [04:38]
Adlai that's not what it is, maybe you should read the actual paper? [04:39]
mircea_popescu papers of unknown authors chance of being read is ~0%. [04:39]
mircea_popescu especially if said authors are alive. [04:39]
mircea_popescu let them get in the wot. [04:39]
Adlai here's a shorter explanation of the technique: https://mathgate.info/promechard.php [04:43]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1xX7wKq ) [04:43]
mircea_popescu somehow we're not communicating. at issue is the proposition that ideas are worth anything, and somehow people can ride on the value of their ideas. [04:44]
mircea_popescu this is false. people can only ride on the value of their reputaiton, and "ideas" are not only worthless, but outright meaningless. [04:44]
mircea_popescu i simply don't care what some derps not in the wot think they have to say. [04:45]
Adlai who said anything about people riding? i'm not talking about people, i'm talking solely about the idea. if you want some reputation to associate with the idea, shoot the messenger. [04:45]
mircea_popescu i am not. [04:46]
mircea_popescu i am never talking about any idea. [04:46]
mircea_popescu unless it starts with "here's what X said", im ignoring it. [04:46]
mircea_popescu unsigned code doesn't exist. "ideas" never happened. etc. [04:47]
mircea_popescu i guess i should add "culture" to the list of things bitcoin is disrupting. [04:48]
* Adlai says, deedbot can spend half as much coin and create zero as much pollution; if there's interest, he can review and sign the code doing it [04:48]
mircea_popescu brb [04:48]
mircea_popescu Adlai how much it spends is arbitrarily small anyway, and set to a certain sum more to encourage the diggers than anything tho ? [04:48]
Adlai the promechard technique can still have any fee you like, and it'd go directly to the miners, rather than into an unspendable output [04:49]
mircea_popescu the output is spendable. [04:49]

mircea_popescu it keeps hashing until it makes a valid pubkey yes [04:51]

mircea_popescu that's the whole idea, anyone can spend the sum on the basis of the notarized documents. [04:51]
Adlai hm. why? [04:53]
mircea_popescu doubles as a faucet, basically. [04:54]

mircea_popescu davout rich kid is ahead of the other kids, because his parents are technically a magic wand. fat kid is behind the other kids, because fat is unappealing. this tension creates very insane sort of behaviours. [18:21]

asciilifeform a machine containing a fan, even one, esp. a plastic chinese fan, cannot be called 'fire and forget' [21:48]

decimation heh that's a good ida [22:48]
asciilifeform one more patch then. [22:48]
mircea_popescu it's the only way to do time. [22:48]
decimation it will be within minutes at least [22:48]
asciilifeform block-epoch [22:48]
mircea_popescu all that's needed for this application. [22:48]
asciilifeform may not even need to patch bitcoind [22:49]
asciilifeform but can lift from file system timestamp [22:49]
asciilifeform on blk*** [22:49]
asciilifeform it is then tempting to omit ntp entirely... [22:50]
decimation yeah, you would probably want to average a few blocks & get system time [22:50]
asciilifeform timestamp on fs only works if we had the correct time once [22:50]
ben_vulpes it's the only way to do time. << i've been saying there's no such thing as time for a while now, only the length of the longest chain... [22:50]
asciilifeform so no good for warmup [22:50]
decimation asciilifeform: what stuff needs clock? filesystem timestamps? logging? [22:51]
asciilifeform at any rate, this does not necessarily work [22:51]
asciilifeform it is conceivable that the node is cut off from the net for a spell [22:51]
asciilifeform and then reconnected [22:51]
asciilifeform in fact, this is guaranteed to happen during transport [22:51]
asciilifeform can't use time of last block then [22:51]
decimation why does system need correct time between bootup and say two live observations of blocks? [22:52]
asciilifeform simply to lazily avoid making yet another change to bitcoind. [22:53]

BingoBoingo <+asciilifeform> call it whatever name, but assigning a version equal to ancient phoundation release is foolish. << foolish because of nodes that wont talk with < 0.8, or foolish another reason? i've always detested version numbering because of "marketing" << Propper solution is counting down from 9000 [23:00]
