Now that I'm caught up with the messages, I'll also comment on the Chinese. I resolved to not bother trying to speak it, as even native programs include subtitles, given the many dialects; the intonation was further encouragement. Still, I've no intentions to ever visit, so reading in chat rooms or documents will be sufficient. |

My education has been very insufficient, so I'm nowhere near fluent. It was unpleasant to ask my instructor how some technical words are derived, to learn they're largely fabricated; English certainly has the advantage in this. |

I'm far more concerned with becoming fluent in Latin, Greek, and conlangs. I'd like to translate some of my articles to toki pona once I consider myself fluent therein, and then to other languages as I learn them. Now I wonder why loper-os doesn't seem to have Russian translations available, or have I merely overlooked these? |

Regarding the Naggum piece, I can't agree with backwards compatibility being valuable in computing, yet. Unicode has misspellings, because they couldn't be bothered to get it correct initially. HTTP is singlehandedly responsible for popularizing the misspelling of ``referrer''. UNIX was created by people who don't think programs need to be correct. |

There are correct ways to do things, and so wrong ways, and most of computing is wrong, and so should be destroyed. |

hi all, i've been a reader of anything tmsr related, is why i knew of this channel. i came here, because i might have something useful to say re trb sync issue. |
| |
↖ |
| 07:46 |
cgra |
it appears that trb's "chained sync" (like the initial sync) doesn't currently work, because it depended on originally buffering the bastard blocks. further details follow: |
| |
↖ |
| 07:47 |
cgra |
1) chained sync is a repeating sequence of "getblocks" query, "inv" response, "getdata" query, 1+ "block" responses, and one last magic "inv" response advertising the most current block (see "pfrom->hashContinue" in the code). |
| 07:47 |
cgra |
2) trb's chained sync stops right after the initial cycle, because "asciilifeform_orphanage_thermonuke.vpatch" got rid of "PushGetBlocks()" in the "inv" message handler: the node being behind doesn't react to the magic current block advert anymore. |
| |
↖ |
| 07:47 |
cgra |
3) if parallel sync is desired, some kind of buffering must be reintroduced - perhaps just the block hashes the source peers advertise in their "inv" responses. i have no obvious fix to offer, i just wanted to get this out sooner rather than later. |
| |
↖ |
| 07:52 |
cgra |
the angle i'm looking at this, is specifically the initial sync. i have no experience of long term node operation. |

2nd of all, noshit it doesn't give a damn re 'current' block, because there is no way to verify it ! it is only possible to verify a block for which there exists an antecedent. |

any other approach to 'speed up sync' leaves you wide open to getting stuffed fulla randomly-generated garbage. |
| 11:09 |
asciilifeform |
because, elementarily, the only incoming block that can be verified is the very next one after the last that you have at any given time. |
