The user reported that, while the tool reported it would send his entire balance of about 102 BTC to the target address, in fact it only sent 16 BTC to the target address, resulting in a whopping mining fee of 86 BTC being paid."
03:15 pete_dushenski "The root cause of the problem occurred during the output value serialization step when the redeem transaction was constructed. During the process of converting the number into bytes for use in the transaction, bitwise operators were used in this old version of the code, which converted the output value (in satoshis) to a 32 bit integer, causing an integer overflow and truncating the output of 10227087437 satosh

09:16 BingoBoingo Seriously, let all the agendas make fetlife lists
09:17 mircea_popescu what's really funny to me is that there's a "social media site", with 3-4mn claimed "users". out of these 3-4mn, if 1% are actually there you're lucky, and out of those 1% if anothyer 1% is even vaguely worth the mention you're ahead of the curve.
09:17 mircea_popescu BUT! out of all those millions... you should be surprised if like... two people get it, a month or two later.
09:18 mircea_popescu that's where we're at, currently. crowd source means, you gotta get 4 mn "users" together to get two guys that get it two months later.
09:18 mircea_popescu it's not even that it'd be easier to do the getting yourself, by hand. or that it'd be easier to make an eliza get it. you could actually run a school and get better results.
09:19 mircea_popescu which is kind-of like how the us army works, too : you need 4 mn people employed by the pentagon to get two dudes shooting a rifle at the enemy two months later.

09:56 mircea_popescu here's the actual bit :
09:56 mircea_popescu I remember an instance of a desperado's contempt for such small game as a private citizen's life. I was taking a late supper in a restaurant one night, with two reporters and a little printer named—Brown, for instance—any name will do. Presently a stranger with a long-tailed coat on came in, and not noticing Brown's hat, which was lying in a chair, sat down on it. Little Brown sprang up and became abusive in a mome
09:56 mircea_popescu nt. The stranger smiled, smoothed out the hat, and offered it to Brown with profuse apologies couched in caustic sarcasm, and begged Brown not to destroy him. Brown threw off his coat and challenged the man to fight—abused him, threatened him, impeached his courage, and urged and even implored him to fight; and in the meantime the smiling stranger placed himself under our protection in mock distress. But presently he
09:56 mircea_popescu assumed a serious tone, and said:
09:56 mircea_popescu "Very well, gentlemen, if we must fight, we must, I suppose. But don't rush into danger and then say I gave you no warning. I am more than a match for all of you when I get started. I will give you proofs, and then if my friend here still insists, I will try to accommodate him."
09:56 mircea_popescu The table we were sitting at was about five feet long, and unusually cumbersome and heavy. He asked us to put our hands on the dishes and hold them in their places a moment—one of them was a large oval dish with a portly roast on it. Then he sat down, tilted up one end of the table, set two of the legs on his knees, took the end of the table between his teeth, took his hands away, and pulled down with his teeth till
09:56 mircea_popescu the table came up to a level position, dishes and all! He said he could lift a keg of nails with his teeth. He picked up a common glass tumbler and bit a semi-circle out of it. Then he opened his bosom and showed us a net-work of knife and bullet scars; showed us more on his arms and face, and said he believed he had bullets enough in his body to make a pig of lead. He was armed to the teeth. He closed with the remark
09:56 mircea_popescu that he was Mr.——of Cariboo—a celebrated name whe
09:56 mircea_popescu so... no. it's not the race, it's the occupation.

13:15 dignork adding reverse proxy is infrastructure change, original code might have been written with such change in mind, but even if not, usally it's a minor modification
13:16 mircea_popescu the most insulting thing is that while the wisdom seems to be "eh, change the code", there does not exist a master list where you know, all the code dependencies are nicely cross-referenced, so i can just go "fuckup-php for-the-ip-poroxy-issue"
13:16 mircea_popescu think about it. why the fuck should the code have to know about this. and if it does have to know about this, why aren't ALL the code references affected by any of such a change cross-indexed somewhere ?
13:16 ascii_field mircea_popescu: there is probably enough accumulated anger of this kind among computer users for two or three classy genocides
13:17 * ascii_field has, if anyone didn't know, a whole www site about this
13:17 mircea_popescu dignork the only way you would be allowed to write code, in a world where "hey, if infrastructure changes code needs to change" is with index lists of "all lines affected by X - here" "all lines affected by Y - here"
13:17 * ascii_field recalls this exists as ada postprocessor
13:17 mircea_popescu i am not surprised.
13:18 ascii_field but this is a mega-l0l - apache crud, etc. wake me up when someone has the resources to rewrite even something that catastrophically matters, e.g. bitcoin
13:19 mircea_popescu it doesn't even exist, you hear me ? the cannonical way to get ip fixed on a varnished apache is "Note that http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/download/mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz where the file originally were located for some reason is off currently."
13:19 mircea_popescu i thouht it's just off you know, as i happened to look at it. but no, they have blogposts about it

13:21 mircea_popescu dignork o, i'd believe.
13:21 ascii_field dignork: we knew. which is why i banned ipv6 in my home, and press for its permanent exclusion from therealbitcoin
13:21 mircea_popescu ascii_field how is it ipv6's fault!
13:22 ascii_field elementarily, and all else aside, it makes naked eye analysis of lan traffic considerably more painful
13:22 mircea_popescu so then use ipv2!
13:22 ascii_field lol wut
13:23 williamdunne mircea_popescu: WP Super Cache I think its called, it Caches your HTML and serves that rather than rendering on each load
13:23 williamdunne So basically like varnish but a bit more shit
13:23 mircea_popescu how is it like varnish at all ? it's a php script neh ?
13:23 williamdunne Maybe I'm not remembering what varnish is correctly, but it is a middleware that serves up static HTML instead of asking the server, right?
13:24 mircea_popescu well, yes, but it stands in front of apache
13:24 williamdunne Yeah, its a bit like that except serverside
13:24 williamdunne Not ideal, but better than nothing
13:24 williamdunne (Until you find a better solution, that is)
13:26 mircea_popescu maybe i could reimplement apache in php first! then i could run varnish (reimplemented in php too) in front of it and not lose the ips.
13:27 williamdunne Why not reimplement it in brainfuck?
13:29 mircea_popescu because much like ada, brainfuck is an actually specified language
13:29 mircea_popescu so it's probably not fast enough for the web.

14:03 davout mircea_popescu: i haven't been using apache for a long long while, but maybe mod_remoteip does what you want, override the source IP by some IP it finds in an HTTP header
14:03 mircea_popescu yes. except it doesn't run for apache 2.2.x
14:04 davout klol
14:04 mircea_popescu among the changes from 2.2 to 2.4 (current) ? alf will appreciate this
14:04 mircea_popescu Apache 2.4 uses a dynamic modular structure by default. This potentially can cause problems if a LoadModule directive calls a module that was not built into the Apache binary.
14:04 mircea_popescu EasyApache overrides Apache 2.4's default settings and builds modules statically to provide backward compatibility.
14:04 mircea_popescu static builds are "backwards compatibility" nao
14:05 williamdunne Is it possible to just search through your code and edit all header["ip_address"] to header["remote_ip"]?
14:05 williamdunne Or whatever the variable is called
14:05 mircea_popescu i could even write a perl script to do it...
14:05 davout i don't get how the structure can be "dynamic modular" and then "cause problems" when stuff isn't built right into apache
14:06 mircea_popescu davout welcome to technical writing today.
14:06 davout and wrt to the reference index thing, it's kind of weird that the same stuff would be defined at multiple places anyway

14:09 mircea_popescu heh.
14:09 mircea_popescu Compiling and Installing mod_remoteip on Apache 2.2
14:09 mircea_popescu If you are running Apache 2.2, you can thank Takashi Takizawa for backporting mod_remoteip for Apache 2.2.X servers and posting it on his GitHub as mod_remoteip_httpd22.
14:10 mircea_popescu so what's the wot vote, do i thank " Takashi Takizawa" for his work and download random code offa da github ?
14:10 mircea_popescu what signatures or anything, it's Takashi Takizawa!!
14:10 davout patch can't be that large to review
14:11 mircea_popescu yeah, i am looking forward to reviewing random code for free.
14:11 mircea_popescu just another $500 an hour service i do for the world.
14:12 mircea_popescu incidentally, this is what the stack of shit is built on. "oh, little step X can't be too hard"
14:12 mircea_popescu fuck you.
14:13 williamdunne What difference would it make if he had signed it? Its not like you know the guy enough to trust him
14:14 mircea_popescu but maybe i know someone who does trust him ?
14:14 mircea_popescu moreover, if i do know some guys who trust him, the cost of obtaining a new Takashi Takizawa is not equal to s/Takashi Takizawa/Takashi Takizawa/
14:18 mircea_popescu 448 lines. i am not happy with a dollar a line. not that i'm getting paid or anything.
14:23 davout yeah well, either you code due diligence or you don't, up to you, never mentioned anything about "reviewing random code for free"
14:27 mircea_popescu and if i do, it's wasted.
14:28 mircea_popescu "there's free as in beer, free as in freedom, and free as in your time has no value"
14:29 ascii_field mircea_popescu: one way to look at it is that division of labour never really happened in computing. to the useful point where you can actually safely hand something off to a pro. instead, we're all in a situation not unlike that ru doctor in the polar expedition who had to self-appendectomy
14:30 mircea_popescu the other way to look at this is that everyone involved in computer software should be sent back to third grade
14:30 mircea_popescu with a month's supply of daily beatings.
14:30 pete_dushenski ascii_field: or that zany dentist who did her own root canals.

14:31 assbot Prometheus surgery scene - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1PT7Bt7 )
14:32 mircea_popescu now back to the issue : the "backported" thing compiles. apache has no care in the world.
14:32 mircea_popescu how do you drop modules into apache ?
14:32 davout williamdunne: thought a bit about your project, sounds like a degenerate case of a stock exchange actually
14:32 Adlai this is also why the only sane approach to programming depends upon homoiconicity... there's simply too much code for a single human to type by hand
14:32 Adlai !up ascii_field
14:33 williamdunne davout: Not sure why it would be degenerate, but yes. Very similar.
14:33 williamdunne Hence >Sorta like an MPEX for people
14:34 davout williamdunne: because if your work consists of projects X, Y, and Z you can decide to raise capital separately for each of them separately on a stock exchange, not only as "here's me, throw money at me"
14:34 williamdunne Thats the point
14:35 williamdunne If you believe that someone has the potential to do something great, but do not know how many attempts it may take them to do so, it allows you to bet on their success rather than the success of the current project
14:36 davout in this case a stock market would have the advantage of making shitty stuff fail earlier
14:37 williamdunne I'm hoping it just increases the velocity, so shitty stuff fails sooner and good stuff succeeds sooner
14:37 davout "i didn't even get to try projects X and Y because the market told me it was retarded", on the other hand Z was pretty successful"
14:38 williamdunne X Y and Z have a number of other metrics you can use to attain success i.e revenue growth
14:38 davout what other metric than money did you have in mind?
14:39 ascii_field wake me up when there is actually the money floating around to give anything serious at all its minimal take-off velocity.
14:39 ascii_field (to a first approximation, afaik, there isn't)
14:39 williamdunne davout: Growth of userbase etc, its not meant to be a sure-fire bet to make money
14:41 williamdunne Its also more restrictive, as its not restricted to projects. i.e a student could use it if doing some sort of professional degree
14:41 williamdunne Really the idea is just making it possible to invest in people rather than things
14:42 Adlai ascii_field: on the contrary, the money is there, but it's steered by people who prefer to fund http://itsthisforthat.com/api.php?text
14:42 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1PTa7j5 )
14:42 williamdunne Although your issue could somewhat solved by allowing shareholders to allocate what money goes where
14:42 ascii_field williamdunne: it is already possible. pick your favourite people and give $1m to each, in unmarked benjies.
14:43 davout that's kind of a basic mistake here, assuming you can invest in things, if I buy a bitcoin asset I'm really investing in the people running it, not in some ethereal abstract "thing"
14:43 davout williamdunne: shareholders being able to allocate "what money goes where" is pretty much a stock market
14:43 williamdunne davout: If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium
14:44 williamdunne davout: true
14:50 mircea_popescu heh. mkay, i got it, now it's terribly broken :D
14:51 williamdunne davout: Basically its no longer a bet on whether or not the project is retarded, but whether or not you're retarded
14:52 williamdunne mircea_popescu: What is?
14:52 davout mircea_popescu: good good, let the broken http requests flow through you
14:52 mircea_popescu anyway, at least now i know what needs fixing
14:55 davout williamdunne: my main point is that this is already what you're doing when buying a BTC-denominated asset that's run by someone and that your idea removes more value than what it adds to the stock exchange value proposition
14:55 davout but hey, at the end of the day you're the one doing the work!
14:57 williamdunne davout: well it wouldn't be BTC denominated, but yeah. While it certainly removes some things, its not targeted at people who would need those things
14:58 lobbes <williamdunne> ... If I believe paymium will possibly fail, but that you're going do something great in the future, I would be better off investing in you than paymium << In this case, wouldn't you just wait until he creates the project you think -will- succeed and invest in that?
14:59 williamdunne lobbes: Potentially so, although of course that assumes that you have the capacity to do so, and he has the capitulation to get to that point
15:00 ascii_field capitulation ?!

15:42 mircea_popescu jurov how do i contribute signed non-bitcoin code to the great codex ?
15:42 mircea_popescu pls to excuse my noobery.
15:43 williamdunne mircea_popescu: GitHub is the accepted norm
15:43 mircea_popescu not here.
15:43 davout williamdunne: you must be new here
15:44 trinque that's a paddlin'
15:44 williamdunne trinque: lol
15:44 jurov he means btc-dev
15:44 jurov would make sense to have a new mailing list for nonbtc stuff
15:45 williamdunne Ahh, I assumed MP meant the varnish code
15:45 williamdunne mircea_popescu: Still getting; "Looks like you tried to comment off a stale page. Reload the article, count to three and try again."
15:46 jurov "Server: - Varnished by MP" lol
15:47 Adlai whence wothub?
15:49 jurov should i make such list? and on therealbitcoin or some other domain?
15:49 mircea_popescu jurov not sure if worth the hassle forjust this
15:49 jurov wothub ain't bad
15:50 * Adlai envisions 'wothub' as a content-addressable signed patchstore
15:50 trinque we need that.
15:51 Adlai so build it trinque !
15:51 Adlai stop waiting for other people to take initiative
15:51 trinque who says I am
15:51 trinque if I find the time maybe I will
15:51 trinque not committing to it while I can't guarantee I'll execute
15:52 * Adlai waits for trinque to take initiative
15:54 * williamdunne not sure what is wrong with using github with pgp signatures
15:54 trinque williamdunne: enemy territory
15:54 trinque it should be hosted in-wot
15:54 williamdunne What difference does it make if you have local backups and its all signed?
15:54 williamdunne Not like they can modify the code or take it from you, just delete it from their servers
15:55 williamdunne Hardly a dealbreaker IMO
15:55 trinque why have factories in the US when China will produce everything for us cheaper?
15:55 trinque it's a matter of growing infrastructure
15:55 trinque and expertise
15:56 Pierre_Rochard why not both? mirror on github, run your own git server
15:56 davout while github is not an option i'm with williamdunne here, git is nice and having a foundation-operated git server would be a good thing imo
15:56 trinque I am also in favor of git
15:56 Pierre_Rochard ^ yes
15:56 mircea_popescu how gpg friendly is it ?
15:57 Pierre_Rochard it’s ssh friendly, send your ssh pubkey signed with your gpg key
15:57 Adlai !s darcs
15:57 assbot 25 results for 'darcs' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=darcs
15:57 williamdunne You can store anything on git, so nothing stopping you from attaching signatures
15:57 davout mircea_popescu: i think you can sign commits, also it can't really be less gpg-friendly than throwing tarballs around
15:58 davout looking into it
15:58 Adlai fwiw, darcs is much more friendly to the "signed patch" model of modification; git is better for 'signed code'; and neither are perfect
15:59 Adlai (git only lets you sign merkle roots of the source code, rather than diffs)
15:59 mats git and github is not so great
15:59 Adlai although... signed roots are kinda what you want
15:59 Adlai mats: what's wrong with git itself?
15:59 davout http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work
15:59 assbot Git - Signing Your Work ... ( http://bit.ly/1DygLSU )
16:00 davout Adlai: "In more recent versions of Git (v1.7.9 and above), you can now also sign individual commits."
16:00 mats overengineered, cvs is often good enough
16:00 trinque eh
16:00 trinque no way
16:00 Adlai LOL
16:00 davout blergh
16:00 Adlai !b 4
16:00 assbot Last 4 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/3XQWDP1.txt )
16:00 Adlai fuck
16:00 trinque branching is good, merging is good
16:00 davout Adlai: c-c-c-combo breaker
16:00 Adlai mats: shirley you're joking
16:01 trinque having one goddamn tower that can get skullfucked by orcs is bad
16:01 williamdunne git >>>>>>> cvs
16:01 williamdunne I'll keep my commits thank you very much
16:01 Adlai davout: the "sign commits" feature still essentially consists of signing a merkle root of the source tree; darks lets you sign the patch
16:01 trinque prudent I think to discuss which DVCS to use
16:01 trinque but DVCS by god
16:02 Adlai there's stuff to be said for either side... tbh, it seems like signing merkle roots is what yall want
16:02 davout Adlai: well, from what i understand of the docs, you can sign -individual commits- which is a new feature because originally it could only do what you say
16:02 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 53300 @ 0.00030083 = 16.0342 BTC [+] {3}
16:03 davout now, how you verify them, and how you enforce mandatory signature is something else
16:03 Adlai davout: an "individual commit" is still just a hash of the commit message + merkle root of the source tree
16:03 trinque davout: sounds like fancy hooks
16:03 trinque to reject bad pushes
16:04 Adlai so, it's less convenient for signing a patch relative to an upstream repo; but is exactly what you want if you just want to have a single head to put on a stake when heardbleed 2.0 gets uncovered
16:04 davout trinque: that's one thing, the other is: whenever i pull i want to verify it independently
16:04 trinque indeed
16:04 williamdunne *clone
16:04 Adlai so you either want darcs with every single patch signed, or git
16:05 davout Adlai: you're probably right, i think the difference isn't that important though, the point of the wot is to make an identity valuable
16:05 Adlai git has the advantage of a single signature covering the entire current state; darcs has the advantage of letting a single signature cover changes alone. it's really a question of use case
16:06 Adlai the real problem is technophobia, "I trust nothing other than butterflies and sed"
16:06 Adlai ... but whence the sed binary?
16:06 ascii_field not the git thing again
16:06 davout they're functionally equivalent, but i guess that if darcs is a better fit, why not
16:07 Adlai they're not! the darcs model would've let mircea_popescu submit a single fix to apache, whereas the git model requires him to sign the entire apache source tree
16:08 Adlai !up ascii_field
16:08 davout Adlai: they're functionnaly equivalent, not identical, the functionality in this case being the identification of the head to chop off
16:09 Adlai either approach lets you determine which fingers inserted which code
16:09 williamdunne davout: How is that different to git? You can blame individual lines of coding using git
16:09 davout Adlai: that's exactly my point
16:09 ascii_field git is pernicious for safety-critical code because it - however slightly - reduces the expectation that every line of diff is attentively read
16:09 trinque this is a social problem
16:09 ascii_field by making it easy to process heavy diffs
16:09 trinque not a technology problem
16:10 trinque max commit size and beatings
16:10 davout ^this
16:10 ascii_field i do -not- want nonhumanreadable state in source.
16:10 ascii_field it is an abomination.
16:10 Adlai what's 'nonhumanreadable'?
16:11 ascii_field can't be cat'd to a vt100.
16:11 ascii_field or line printer.
16:11 davout ascii_field: is a tarball human readable?
16:11 trinque gits data model is... lemme see if I can remember; it's been a while since I wrote a postgresql fdw into it
16:11 williamdunne https://github.com/davout/bitcoin-central/blame/master/lib/liberty_reserve/client.rb
16:11 assbot bitcoin-central/lib/liberty_reserve/client.rb at master · davout/bitcoin-central · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1DyjOKS )
16:11 trinque commit points to other commits and a tree, tree points to tree entries, which point to blobs
16:11 davout williamdunne: whiskey tango foxtrot
16:11 ascii_field davout: if uncompressed - very much so
16:11 trinque all things are blobs, even the aforementioned
16:11 trinque keys are hashes
16:11 trinque what's not to understand
16:11 williamdunne davout: blame tool
16:11 trinque then you have the tool atop that data model which yes, has all kinds of bullshit
16:12 trinque but the data model itself is easily understood
16:12 trinque and inspectable by human eyes
16:12 Adlai trinque: darcs is even simpler, but has the disadvantage (which was previously mentioned as an advantage!) of allowing people to submit changes which cause malicious behavior when combined with previously-signed changes
16:12 davout williamdunne: look what's your point here? that one can git-blame?
16:12 williamdunne pretty much
16:12 davout williamdunne: everybody fucking knows that
16:12 trinque lol
16:13 Adlai williamdunne: the problem here is more one of convincing ascii_field that there exists trustworthyness outside of his own skull
16:13 williamdunne Ah okay, not sure if I can help with that.
16:13 trinque so the process of establishing trust should be human and involve eyes
16:13 trinque the process of managing a bunch of feature branches and shit, I want a tool
16:13 trinque doing that manually doesn't make me smarter.
16:13 Adlai signed tarballs are still corruptible, if your tar (or gpg) binary is diddled
16:13 trinque everything is
16:14 Adlai really this is all masturbation until we have a by-hand constructible fab
16:14 trinque !rate dickhead -10 committed 1000 lines of god knows what
16:14 assbot dickhead is not registered in WoT.
16:14 trinque that's how you fix that
16:15 * Adlai dogwalks and drinks away the shittiness of modern computing
16:16 davout ascii_field: would you have no problem with a tool that you can bypass, and build the source with the actual signed commits ?
16:16 Adlai sorry, not just regular old wanking - *competitive* masturbation
16:17 davout according to Adlai it isn't really practical to do with git, however, if darcs can output actual clearsigned diffs that would allow one to re-construct the same source tree by hand and check the sigs manually
16:17 ascii_field davout: problem is not just the build
16:17 ascii_field davout: but that git etc make adding crud easy
16:17 Adlai davout: it's doable with git, although requires numerous calls to sha256sum and building 'ls' output by hand
16:18 ascii_field and creates the expectation of using git
16:18 Adlai darcs is much easier to reproduce by hand, since it's JUST applying signed patches
16:18 trinque ascii_field: doesn't this apply to the use of power tools?
16:18 trinque shouldn't use them because an idiot will just end up without an arm?
16:18 davout ascii_field: i'm with trinque here, it's a social problem, not to be solved by tools
16:18 Adlai trinque: this applies to the use of silicon that you didn't forge yourself
16:18 davout but by the wot
16:18 Adlai ascii_field is just choosing to trust intel/amd/etc
16:18 trinque right, I can guarantee at least that I have no qualms screaming at a person that's done wrong
16:19 ascii_field Adlai: it is a mistake to conclude that i trust
16:19 Adlai well, we're choosig a point at which we give up on paranoia as overly hampering
16:19 Adlai and arguing over where exactly that point is
16:19 ascii_field notice that you -can- use git etc personally, no prob
16:20 ascii_field but this is not what git aficionados want. they expect -me- to use it if i want to participate
16:20 ascii_field and to have the canonical representation of the project be a git turd
16:20 trinque well, the social experiment would be instructive, would it not?
16:20 * Adlai is making too many typos to continue participating in the discourse
16:21 ascii_field trinque: go 'experiment' with boeing's avionics code
16:21 Adlai last thought: a signed-patch-dev mailing list, and some trivial darcs wrapper that consumes attachments from that mailing list to frob any random repository, whether git, darks, or - for mats's's benefit - cvs. left as an exercise to the reader.
16:21 ascii_field will be an interesting social experiment, yes
16:21 trinque ascii_field: if people cannot be brought to obey processes, how can any group activity ever occur?
16:21 Adlai note that darcs does NOTHING beyond 'patch -p1 < thingy'
16:22 trinque ^
16:22 ascii_field Adlai: go ahead and use it then
16:22 ascii_field but don't expect me to
16:22 Adlai it needs to be written first :)
16:22 * Adlai dogwalk
16:22 ascii_field wtf is so hard to understand re: 'the canonical representation of the project must be human-readable' ?
16:22 trinque it should be noted that ascii_field's profession as I understand it is knowing how attacks occur
16:22 trinque and I respect that
16:23 trinque and "speed" of development should not be a value
16:23 ascii_field trinque: it is a mistake to conclude that i am bringing deep wisdom from some 'respectable society' profession here. i am deliberately and profanely pissing on 'best practices'
16:23 trinque ascii_field: seems you should write up what you think is an appropriate process for maintaining a "mainline" branch
16:24 trinque ascii_field: I am referring to you, not an industry
16:24 ascii_field why? because we have a little problem with vermin, in computing
16:24 ascii_field and the only solution, at this point, is neutron bomb
16:24 trinque certainly
16:24 ascii_field i don't have the neutron bomb yet. so we're stuck with flamethrowers
16:24 davout ascii_field: i hear your points
16:25 ascii_field but even so, anyone who wants - davout, trinque, et al - can use favourite versioncontrolsystem at home
16:25 trinque ascii_field: I would be pleased with a process that allowed for that, but that there is only one route to "released"
16:25 trinque and think you're on the money re: how that should operate
16:26 ascii_field i mean, when you write own contributions, you can generate them however you like
16:26 ascii_field so long as the output is a unix patch
16:26 trinque sure, I see room for collaborating on feature branches though
16:27 ascii_field incidentally, for readers unfamiliar with the overall thread, the project under discussion - therealbitcoin - does not belong to me. it is run by ben_vulpes and mod6. who appear to agree with my position here.
16:28 trinque ben_vulpes uses git in his day to day work, and I'm sure for a reason
16:28 trinque or if not that some other dvcs
16:28 ascii_field it is worth repeating precisely -why- i specified 'unix patches' to be the canonical representations
16:28 williamdunne Maybe there is a good reason why this would not work, but could you not just generate an XML file that contains the names of all the files, a hash of each file, and then sign the XML? Could be automated fairly easily and would work on top of existing solutions
16:28 ascii_field the ultimate product is to be a series of -human-auditable- diffs, each small and extremely narrowly focused, starting from classical bitcoind 0.5.3.
16:28 ascii_field this is to establish -pedigree-
16:29 trinque williamdunne: XML nein
16:29 williamdunne trinque: some sort of record of the files and shasums then
16:29 ascii_field williamdunne: we have this. 'manifest'
16:29 trinque williamdunne: this is what the tree in git already is
16:29 trinque pile of hashes and blobs they refer to
16:29 ascii_field it is how i specified a de-crufted subset of 0.5.3's files on day 1
16:30 ascii_field (diff does not offer a simple way to say 'deleted whole file')
16:30 trinque so it lacks information
16:30 ascii_field trinque: my opposition to git et al as canonical representations is because they have -any- 'behind the scenes' components.
16:30 trinque I agree 100% that "canonical" as the outside world is made to see it should not be a git repo
16:30 ascii_field as well as reasons listed earlier.
16:30 trinque and understand your rationale
16:31 trinque I think hackers here would just like to collaborate via something other than email
16:31 trinque it's a shitty interface and I'm not dealing with it
16:31 trinque doesn't make me feel smart to pluck a patch from an email attachment
16:31 ascii_field trinque: automate.
16:31 trinque and that approaches dvcs
16:32 ascii_field and pluck from jurov's www forum.
16:32 ascii_field trinque: no, it does not. because there is no hidden state.
16:32 trinque I don't agree with "hidden" re: the state of git
16:32 trinque but then I've been all through the internals of it
16:32 ascii_field what's in a '.git' ?
16:32 ascii_field and more importantly, wtf should i have to care
16:32 trinque database of hashes and binary wads
16:32 trinque it's just a key value store
16:32 ascii_field and before long folks will want forking/branching
16:33 trinque this is sensible, sometimes work begins on a feature that's later abandoned
16:33 ascii_field and then comes the use of central server, and of ssl
16:33 trinque or postponed
16:33 trinque naaah
16:33 trinque git solves this problem, and I can even email you a patch directly out of git
16:33 ascii_field trinque: how is branching not hidden state ?
16:33 trinque explain to me what is hidden
16:33 trinque that it is a binary db?
16:33 ascii_field i can't pipe a branched repo to a line printer
16:34 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-04-2015#1113879 << and younger
16:34 assbot Logged on 28-04-2015 16:23:44; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu is basically a better read, less geographically restricted, and paler Qadaffi
16:34 davout if darcs is able to output clearsigned unix patches i really don't see a reason not to use it, we can still review small individual units of work, and ascii_field's patches integrate gracefully
16:34 ascii_field use it, so long as i don't have to know anything about it
16:34 trinque to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care
16:34 trinque yes
16:34 mircea_popescu in other news, noiw im getting shit like Host: H\x92_\x02 in the logs.
16:34 mircea_popescu can't possibly be a problem rite ?
16:35 ascii_field trinque: and if any of you produce a 100kB patch, and i barf on general principle and refuse to have anything more to do with project, don't say i didn't warn that vcs is harmful.
16:35 davout trinque: "to the extent that we do it right ascii_field should not have to care" <<< that should be the criteria
16:35 ascii_field for the record, i use all kinds of odd tools internally
16:36 ascii_field but would never expect other folks to take that kind of radiation damage
16:36 davout ascii_field: that's what's being said, it's a good tool if ascii_field doesn't know about it :D
16:36 ascii_field aha.
16:36 trinque I agree
16:37 ascii_field when i suddenly am expected to care what's in some xml turd, or expose a box to the net just to fetch changes, or similar atrocities - i reach for barf bag
16:38 trinque I promise to barf myself if XML creeps in
16:38 davout ascii_field: i have some "Air France" branded ones if you're into sophisticated barfing
16:38 trinque !up ascii_field

16:39 ascii_field nah removable storage
16:42 mod6 <+ascii_field> ... it is run by ben_vulpes and mod6. who appear to agree with my position here. << yup.
16:47 trinque ascii_field: if there were even something which made the relationships between patches data, I would be satisfied.
16:48 trinque that's really *all* I want
16:48 BingoBoingo <ascii_field> and the only solution, at this point, is neutron bomb << Better make sure your z-weighted sheilding is completely cobalt free...
16:48 trinque ok, this is how I get to the point where I can work on feature X

16:48 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 31300 @ 0.0003015 = 9.437 BTC [+] {2}
16:49 trinque seems like an ID of a patch would obviously be some hash of it
16:49 trinque so then just a tree of IDs
16:51 trinque to synthesize one point from that pile, I want the computer to strongly enforce relationships for me, not to mindlessly build because I'm too lazy
16:53 jurov trinque, it uses SHA1 as ID
16:53 trinque what does
16:53 trinque git, yeah
16:54 trinque this is a hypothetical
16:54 mod6 the mailing list
16:54 trinque ah ok
16:54 jurov no, btc-dev mailinglist it even renames the recognized signed attachemnts so
16:54 trinque so where's the tree of hashes that tells me what builds towards the release
16:55 trinque some email somewhere
16:55 trinque structured data is pretty cool.
16:56 jurov if you can propose some format for this accepted by stakeholder like alf, you're welcome
16:56 jurov it's shell scripts atm
16:56 trinque just thinking through it; I have no need to change nor authority to change a process that works for them

17:23 trinque who doesn't let them

17:25 williamdunne *are alive for
17:25 trinque eh that's just shitty businesses
17:26 williamdunne if(percentage > 100)
17:26 williamdunne return "fuck off"
17:26 mircea_popescu ...
17:26 mike_c s/100/0/
17:27 mircea_popescu im not sure you understand the difference between natural and constructive persons
17:27 jurov why can't you just get normal loan?
17:27 mircea_popescu but let's indulge : exxon can't smoke fucking dope.
17:27 mircea_popescu EVERY human looking to sell his future is into smoking dope.
17:27 williamdunne And thats part of the risk
17:28 williamdunne jurov: Maybe you can, this is an alternative.
17:28 trinque no that's it; the more you're willing to sell your future the higher risk "investment" you are
17:28 trinque williamdunne: ^
17:29 williamdunne Indeed, I'm not talking bout some sort of service where 100 people deposit money and then a "money manager" decides who to invest in
17:30 williamdunne The entire point is its meant to be risky as shit
17:30 mike_c mircea_popescu: you could install nginx and not install varnish. it will cache shit quite nicely
17:31 williamdunne Its not really a unique idea though, been done twice as far as I can tell. Both started in US but had obvious legal issues come up
17:32 jurov oh it has been done many millions of times
17:32 jurov like, parents invest into you nd then expect to get a "reasonable" part of your income
17:32 williamdunne I mean the platform, not the general idea of selling future income
17:32 williamdunne ofc thats been done a shit ton
17:33 williamdunne Governments constantly do it without consent
17:33 mircea_popescu mike_c yeah, im a day wasted in here. i could waste another one. sure.
17:33 mircea_popescu excelt niginx also won't work.
17:33 mircea_popescu for reasons.
17:34 jurov williamdunne: so why do you want to undergo this, when most everyone hates it?
17:34 williamdunne jurov: Did quite well on the other platforms until the SEC stepped in, not particularly large time investment needs to be made.
17:34 trinque jurov: sounds like someone who doesn't deserve a loan begging with "no dude, I'll like, do anything, man!"
17:35 trinque the recourse for that person is to go find someone for whom to tape boxes shut
17:35 trinque not to be handed more money to waste
17:35 jurov williamdunne: that's not answer to "why"
17:36 trinque aside from the foolishness of this from an investment perspective, it's not helping the guy any
17:37 jurov trinque: ikr. but want to see the thought process why it supposedly beats other alternatives
17:37 trinque on the other side sure, if you've got goons (read: massive govt) to beat payment out of people, loan sharking is great
17:37 williamdunne jurov: "Because potentially it could make money, its an excuse to learn more tech, and there is little risk in terms of what I could lose by doing it"
17:38 mircea_popescu ok, so the sad story of my wasted day : first, instlaled varnish in 10 minutes, but then spent 4 hours trying to get ip forwarding.
17:38 mircea_popescu finally found a way to do that. EXCEPT it injects random data at random intervals, i end up with "ips" like "8�b]"
17:38 mircea_popescu and well... spend another 4 hours debugging that.
17:38 mircea_popescu lesson learned ... do not try to actually use software.
17:38 mircea_popescu it's not usable.
17:38 mike_c nginx always works. I have never been disappointed in it. Recommending shit to people is always a -EV process, but..
17:39 mircea_popescu it would have been cheaper to buy a server. if i were to bill 8 hours it'd be enough to buy a fucking rack, and that's for doing stuff i actually like doing.
17:41 jurov haven't i wrote somewhere that every productive day ends with patch or bugreport?
17:41 mircea_popescu so you have.
17:41 jurov and i don't enjoy that, too. but such is life.
17:42 mircea_popescu pretty ridiculous life.

17:43 jurov there's this saying about inspiration and perspiration, you know
17:44 mircea_popescu jurov dude, come on, it's ridiculous. imagine if cars worked like software works.
17:45 jurov oh, they did, until very recently
17:45 mircea_popescu "sorry honey, can't come to dinner, i'm apparently unable to find the entry to the brooklyn bridge today"
17:45 mircea_popescu "yes i know five billion people found it before. and yet..."
17:45 mircea_popescu "musta been a different car - and - gasoline combination i guess. going back (on foot) to gas station trying some more combos"
17:46 trinque the changes which resulted in the present state should be data
17:46 trinque this in any computer system worth a shit
17:46 mircea_popescu and cars NEVER worked like software works, outside of a laurel and ollie short
17:47 trinque unix's "everything is a file" is a poor man's "everything is data"

17:48 assbot Laurel and Hardy....Imagine what could happen if IKEA started selling cars.... - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1J73RAj )
17:48 trinque lol
17:48 jurov i have 14y old daewoo, we can split "never ever" hairs but the end result and frustration is the same
17:49 mircea_popescu see jurov, the thing is... i have the OPTION to not own obscure exotic cars whose maker went out of business shortly after starting because he sucked.
17:49 mircea_popescu i can buy a fucking bmw.
17:49 mircea_popescu there ISNT a bmw here. it's varnish or nginx. that's it. not like i'm running unheard-of-software
17:49 jurov and you can not have trilema running on php
17:50 mircea_popescu like sealion or w/e
17:50 jurov redo in in CL
17:50 mircea_popescu what'd i run it on ?
17:50 mircea_popescu lmao ok.
17:50 mircea_popescu and where do i find a cl server ?
17:50 jurov you have your own dc last i remember
17:50 trinque this is why I'd like a small board for the embedded space that does very little, and runs a lisp
17:50 mircea_popescu dude. for the love of budha
17:50 trinque needs a starting point
17:50 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
17:51 * ascii_field is still wondering how mircea_popescu can use that cthonian horror, cpanel
17:51 mircea_popescu the fact that i own a gas station does in no way alleviate the problem that laurel&hardy cars.
17:51 trinque taking on the whole goddamn space is an enormous challenge to say the least
17:51 mircea_popescu ascii_field works way better than this shit, ftr.
17:51 ascii_field ahahahahaha
17:51 mircea_popescu it.does.
17:51 ascii_field ok i'll bite. how do i remove apache and get nginx
17:51 ascii_field all traces of apache
17:52 mircea_popescu nginx works atop apache
17:52 jurov what????
17:52 ascii_field wat?!!
17:52 mircea_popescu srsly.
17:52 ascii_field mno.
17:52 mircea_popescu in cpanelworld, yeah it does.
17:52 mircea_popescu it's a proxy for apache.
17:53 ascii_field this feels like using winblows
17:53 mircea_popescu it IS
17:54 ascii_field i was even about to use the apache (all i need is to proxy to my proggy which has own http stack) but then i find that there is no /etc/apache2
17:54 ascii_field and that the motherfucking cpanel thing puts it fuck knows where
17:54 jurov i have everything built as nginx OR apache(never both of them) in extra process, PHP/Perl/Python in extra process(es)
17:54 trinque every bakery should have their own software team because no real scotsman would pay someone else to do that
17:55 trinque the lack of a turnkey solution here is absurd, just a shitty industry
17:55 jurov nothing like mod_php monstrosities
17:55 ascii_field *why* is it not in the standard location ?
17:55 ascii_field what kind of dope had to be taken, to conceive of this ?
17:55 trinque why is the standard location not enforced?
17:56 jurov standard location on debian is /etc/httpd
17:56 ascii_field should be enforced using club with nails
17:56 jurov or it was redhat, dunno
17:56 * trinque will yet have to be persuaded that the relational model does not solve all this
17:56 trinque system state should be a database, if a simple and perhaps even plaintext one
17:56 mircea_popescu ascii_field it's called httpd not appache 2 in centos
17:57 mircea_popescu because REASONS
17:57 ascii_field aha
17:57 jurov ^yes
17:57 mircea_popescu note it is rhel's fault.
17:57 trinque "hm I didn't like that change I made to the system" << rollback
17:57 mircea_popescu not cpanel's.
17:57 trinque "config file is munged" << schema
17:57 trinque and constriants
17:57 ascii_field and where are 'sites-available' ?
17:57 jurov trunque use btrfs?
17:57 trinque jurov: getting closer yeah
17:57 trinque but it has to know data structure and barf when it's not followed
17:59 trinque it needs a reflection system; I want to interrogate the system about its structure
17:59 trinque I want to be able to declare into that representation of structure new structures
17:59 trinque in the same way I declare data
17:59 trinque we were trying to build this at my last job, and fucked it up entirely with braindead concepts from the web space
18:00 trinque the answer is probably not for example "build all into postgres" as we were doing
18:00 jurov trinque you need omniprescient entity that declares forever usable schema
18:00 mircea_popescu ascii_field but while we're doing the "what dope" thing, why the fuck is apache "apache2"
18:00 ascii_field because there was a mega-rewrite once
18:00 mircea_popescu so ?
18:01 trinque jurov: explain?
18:01 mircea_popescu trinque hardest problem in cs this, dude. naming.
18:02 trinque yeah, so you need to be able to change structure easily
18:02 mircea_popescu take the dewey decimal system.
18:02 jurov every schema-based system ended up with bags of backward compatibility
18:02 trinque views and actions against the reflection layer
18:02 williamdunne Guessing some people wanted to kick it old school and not move to the re-write, and there was enough of them that apache updated got called apache2, but thats just a guess
18:02 mircea_popescu it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level.
18:02 trinque jurov: yeah views
18:02 mircea_popescu williamdunne it's exactly what it iwas, and exactly why i asked him the question.
18:02 trinque relational algebra is the best model I'm aware of for deriving all needed representations of data
18:03 trinque and you can easily with something that isn't braindead SQL imagine a model where the canonical representation can be changed, and new views derived from the operation taken to produce the new representation
18:03 jurov wtf views?
18:03 trinque so operations against the system must also be data
18:03 jurov how will views solve that in version 1 you have a name=value and in version 2 you need list?
18:04 trinque jurov: I cannot see how it *doesn't* solve that
18:04 mircea_popescu he makes them all a tree.
18:04 mircea_popescu including the leaves.
18:04 mircea_popescu of the leaves.
18:04 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> it requires a hard guarantee you will never want more than 10 categories at any level. << No, only on the top level... After that you wade into the horror of Cutter numbers
18:04 mircea_popescu only needs infinity diskspace to declare a constant.
18:04 trinque no
18:04 * ascii_field is blithering at the sheer amount of litter that cpanel leaves in every conceivable aspect of system
18:04 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo cutter numbers are a kludgy bolt-on!
18:04 trinque postgresql can easily produce an array from columns in rows
18:04 trinque that is an aggregation
18:04 ascii_field there's perhaps half a meg of generated 'do not edit!!!111!!!' crapolade in every config
18:04 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Kludgy and bolted on to original spec
18:04 mircea_popescu ascii_field hey, it's data!
18:05 trinque I can also easily produce a new table which materializes the output of some view
18:05 trinque I can then delete the base table and call the new materialized table the canonical data
18:05 trinque and this ad nauseum
18:05 mircea_popescu so what's keeping you!!eleven
18:05 trinque the point here is missed; I'm probably not articulating it well
18:05 mircea_popescu speaking of : mind making deedbot- autovoice yet ?
18:06 trinque sure, last weekend was eaten by work, but I'll try to work it in soon
18:07 trinque couple days or so
18:07 mircea_popescu coo
18:07 trinque mircea_popescu: what I was referring to above is like the system catalog in SQL
18:08 trinque lets say you alter a table with some operation; were that operation data, you could programmatically alter views against the old version to be compatible with the new, to some extent
18:08 trinque obviously if information was lost in the change, you cannot
18:08 trinque but if the AST of the queries is represented as data you can find that out by joining it against the schema
18:09 jurov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS (^^)

18:10 jurov also, KDE folks tried it in non-relational way, something kinda works but they managed to annoy everyone in the process
18:11 jurov go learn from these mistakes
18:11 trinque the mistake was probably "non-relational

18:12 jurov enlighten us

Could be automated fairly easily and would work on top of existing solutions
18:20 williamdunne huh? Already explained why that was retarded
18:21 mircea_popescu he parses.
18:21 mircea_popescu !up ascii_field
18:24 Adlai tl;r: /me needs to write a thingy that munges btc-dev into a darcs repo, jurov needs to add a general-dev mailing list so mircea_popescu can send his apache paches, and we'll all live ethanolly ever after. ssavvy?
18:24 mircea_popescu it wasn't going to be a patch
18:25 Adlai how so?
18:25 mircea_popescu it was going to be a signed version of 448 lines of code
18:25 mircea_popescu some other dude wrote.
18:25 Adlai ok, you sign some other dude's patch. same diff
18:26 jurov he can publish it on trilema, too. don't see how bag of disparate patches would be useful
18:27 Adlai because infrastructure!
18:27 mircea_popescu jurov i don't see it either, but! gotta ask.
18:27 mircea_popescu this is a problem which will have to be solved, eventually. maybe not by us, maybe not in our lifetimes,
18:28 mircea_popescu but once women in tech or something.
18:28 * Adlai actually spend the alcohols chatting with a dark-skinned lady who was 100% coherent despite also partaking of alcohols
18:28 Adlai so, there is hope for the oppressed-in-tech yet!
18:29 Adlai the typos resurface thus zzz
18:29 jurov you mean, she exhibits ballmer peak, thus suitable for tech?
18:30 Adlai no she exhibited sentient concern for third party (my dog) while verifiably drunk
18:31 Adlai she was all "this is not a good place for a dog" and i was all "bullshit my dog loves this bar because it's EV patron loves dogs and my dog is lovable"
18:31 jurov and when she was sober, there was no dog concern?
18:31 * Adlai has never met her sober, he's home alone now, aside from dog
18:32 trinque obvious "brought home the wrong bitch" joke there

18:35 mircea_popescu ascii_field your pain makes me feel better.
18:35 ascii_field and cannot be retrofitted without being clobbered by cpanel the next time it is used to make any alteration

18:36 Adlai why not run a real webserver?
18:36 ascii_field gcc: mod_wsgi.c: No such file or directory
18:36 mircea_popescu ascii_field obviously you have to first download the mod.

18:37 ascii_field betcha it was 'lost' as soon as i logged into cpanel
18:37 Adlai or once you installed it
18:37 mircea_popescu you logged into cpanel as root ?!@
18:37 ascii_field (i never had a key fingerprint for it)
18:38 Adlai or did the install not involve running anything?
18:38 ascii_field this box is running ten thousand tonnes of extraneous cpanelism
18:38 Adlai logged into cpanel as root ?!@ << asif you need root to fandango
18:39 * Adlai channels vonnegut: "To avoid root, just wait for ree boot"

18:46 williamdunne "Adlai envisions 'wothub' as a content-addressable signed patchstore" well its doable, but I only have 'x' amount of time
18:47 trinque the idea needs further development before anyone executes
18:47 trinque may end up comprised entirely of local tooling
18:48 williamdunne Yeah, I've not done much when it comes to native applications so anything client-side isn't really my boat
18:48 williamdunne Don't even know my way around gcc properly
18:49 jurov i don't get it. "by content addressable" i understand somthing like putting sha1 sum in the URL
18:49 jurov and what is "patchstore" supposed to to what "store" is not
18:50 * williamdunne still doesn't understand whats wrong with git and pgp sigs
18:51 ben_vulpes williamdunne: git makes it easy to pretend to work on a codebase by reindenting things
18:51 ben_vulpes makes large merges too easy, is at least one of asciilifeform's objections
18:51 ben_vulpes makes it less likely for people to review changes.
18:51 jurov and i think other was that git stores them in opaque database. you cannot go to .git and start reading
18:52 trinque the earlier thread I think well represented the lay of the land
18:52 trinque having the canonical representation plaintext and readable I think is a fine thing
18:52 mats ben_vulpes: windows for fun and profit
18:52 trinque having history machine readable and enforced is I think also a fine thing
18:52 trinque from there, perhaps no existing tool satisfies both
18:53 jurov i don't remember anything about enforcing history
18:53 trinque git may be several conflated problems
18:53 trinque jurov: I remember saying it.
18:53 trinque and it's in teh logs
18:54 ben_vulpes <jurov> benjy just needed to vent some steam << naw i just wanted to restart an ancient thread
18:54 jurov oh i GC'd you
18:54 ben_vulpes wat?
18:54 jurov not you, trinque
18:56 jurov anyway, primary is there's verifiable autorship and readable content of patches, plus clear repeatable way to combine the patches
18:56 williamdunne One of those is a social issue, the other is solved by not accepting pulls from dickheads, no?
18:57 trinque jurov: indeed, that last bit is what I've been harping on
18:57 ben_vulpes williamdunne: what is a pull?
18:58 jurov triuque yes, but it does not necessarily equal to managing history
18:58 williamdunne ben_vulpes: I don't know if this exists outside of GitHub (I rather assumed it does) but when you fork a repo so its your own version of it, you make changes to your own copy and then request that your changes are merged into the core repo
18:58 trinque pull requests are github
18:58 mircea_popescu <trinque> the idea needs further development before anyone executes << he has a point, and while attempted executions would prlly be useful iterations, it IS a timesink.
18:58 ben_vulpes no, that's the point i wish to make. you're conflating github with git.
18:59 ben_vulpes and i'm not even an expert on the finer points of the vcexen in the wild.
18:59 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes i suspect in this sense git may be TOO easy to use. at least in some aspects.
18:59 williamdunne Ah, my bad.
18:59 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: dude i guarantee you that git is too easy to use.
18:59 ben_vulpes not only for mission-critical shit like therealbitcoin, but even my own work.
19:00 Adlai jurov: actually, you can go to .git and start reading to a much larger degree than you can do so for .darcs; git provides a provably-attributable signed directory (ie, signed file hierarchy), whereas darcs is a signed diff from... whatever th efuck came before it
19:00 jurov yes, linus t. pulls changes from email, not using github
19:00 trinque this idea that the tool controls the user's behavior is absurd
19:00 trinque maybe when dealing with children
19:00 trinque this is a distinct point from advocating git
19:00 trinque the tool does not drive the fucking user
19:00 williamdunne Git has pull requests in this version: http://git-scm.com/
19:00 assbot Git ... ( http://bit.ly/1OBhgr1 )
19:01 mircea_popescu <trinque> the tool does not drive the fucking user << o really.
19:01 mircea_popescu what is this idealism!
19:02 Adlai williamdunne: the problem is that git doesn't provide human-verifiable provenance
19:02 Adlai (whereas darcs does, but it has its own clusterfuck of troubles)
19:02 trinque mircea_popescu: when holding my gun should I wear an arm brace such that I am prevented from blowing my brains out?
19:03 mircea_popescu no, but that's not the angle being discussed.
19:03 mircea_popescu the angle being discussed is : give a man a hammer, suddenly he's looking for nails.
19:03 mircea_popescu tools drive behaviour. in spades.
19:03 trinque that is a fair point
19:05 trinque but should a hammer be called for, one limited such that it cannot be weaponized will also be gimped for hammering
19:05 * Adlai concludes that he should a) write the btc-dev-darcs-wrapper, and b) keep it to himself, so other people have to write their own
19:05 trinque ^ I don't like that for the record; let every man forge his own AK
19:05 trinque surely there's a balance to be struck.
19:05 Adlai AKs are fucking simple
19:06 trinque alright, you forge one while I'm loading
19:06 Adlai no offense but have you ever fired an assault rifle?
19:06 mircea_popescu Adlai how about b) and make it good enough so its effect upon the world is to make more people of the like adlai can stand
19:06 mircea_popescu as opposed to more idiots.
19:07 Adlai mircea_popescu: aiui, anything that does not consist of 'cat | /dev/eip' is not good enough
19:07 mircea_popescu there is such a thing as tools that make people smarter.
19:07 trinque Adlai | no offense but have you ever fired an assault rifle? << this is in no way relevant to what I said
19:07 mircea_popescu and there are tools that make people dumber.
19:07 trinque and an automatic no, rifles yes
19:08 Adlai rifles are for hunters. war is not a hunt, it is war
19:08 mircea_popescu isn't man the best game ?
19:08 Adlai 'long pig'
19:08 trinque obviously, and so you're going to have every soldier cast the metal for his own gun?
19:08 trinque if you have time for that, great; must not be much of a war
19:08 mircea_popescu trinque you know he was being facetious right ?

19:11 assbot The sad story of me sniffing varnish on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1OBjmaC )
19:11 mircea_popescu all the derpy parents that "invest" in their children are making a stylistic choice of words, nothing more. it's a waste not an investment.
19:13 williamdunne At what point does expenditure become investment?
19:13 ben_vulpes never.
19:13 ben_vulpes investment is predicated on a return.
19:13 mircea_popescu ima have to dig up that ancient article somehow...
19:13 williamdunne If you expect expenditure to result in a return?
19:13 mircea_popescu rationally ?
19:14 ben_vulpes this return cannot be "happiness" or any such.
19:14 mircea_popescu does your expenditure CAUSE the return ? is it merely coincidental with the return ? is it merely halucinatorily related ?
19:14 williamdunne I mean monetary
19:14 ben_vulpes much as the girlies would like to "invest in their quality of life", such is just purchasing a big of hedonism.
19:14 mircea_popescu oh i c.
19:14 trinque ben_vulpes: oh have I had that conversation
19:15 ben_vulpes heh who with a girl hasn't?
19:15 * mircea_popescu has been blessfully spared of such nonsense.
19:15 ben_vulpes except for those guys whose lunch we eat and girls we fuck
19:15 * ben_vulpes rolls eyes
19:15 ben_vulpes and of course mircea_popescu
19:15 BingoBoingo <trinque> obviously, and so you're going to have every soldier cast the metal for his own gun? << Unreasonabru, but Officers outfitting their soldiers to the Officer's chosen spec has ample historical precedent
19:15 trinque much more reasonable
19:16 mircea_popescu williamdunne let's go through this, it will be instructive. so, case III, halucinatorily related.
19:17 mircea_popescu guy pays fortune teller for good stuff in the future. good stuff happens in the future.
19:17 mircea_popescu the relation between the "investment" and the "return" is purely hallucinated.
19:18 mircea_popescu case II : coincidental. guy buys lottery ticket. someone wins the lottery.
19:18 williamdunne someone, or guy?
19:18 mircea_popescu while it's true that the somebody who wins might even be the guy, the fact remains that someone'd win whether the guy bought or didn't buy ticket.
19:18 mircea_popescu same thing with "investing in children". sure, you send schmuck to college, and someone 20 years later is going to be well educated.
19:19 mircea_popescu maybe your schmuck. maybe not.
19:19 mircea_popescu case I : causal. this satisfies both implication : with investment there NECESSARILY exists return ; without investment there NECESSARILY doesn't exist return.
19:19 mircea_popescu like, guy going to homestead in 1800s utah. if he goes, there's going to be his homestead. if he doesn't go... there isn't going to be.
19:20 ben_vulpes <mircea_popescu> what'd i run it on ? << it's not actually such a bad idea to render the whole thing as flat files and do something cleverish w/comments
19:20 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes more 90% ism!
19:20 ben_vulpes <mircea_popescu> in cpanelworld, yeah it does. << haha what is this madness
19:20 mircea_popescu i think asciilifeform had an aneurism meanwhile
19:21 williamdunne If I invest in college, and the outcome is a law degree, with which I become a lawyer, how is that not investment?
19:21 williamdunne I understand with a gender studies degree though..
19:22 mircea_popescu if you pay for your own degree, it is.
19:22 mircea_popescu if your dad pays... eh.
19:23 williamdunne What if someone else pays for a degree and in return they get a % of my salary?
19:23 mircea_popescu you being their slave ?
19:23 williamdunne Their slave? Its a mutual agreement from the beginning
19:24 mircea_popescu yes, yes. but is it a mutual agreement of that kind, where you're teh slavegirl.
19:25 williamdunne If you acknowledge La Serenissima are you its slavegirl because you pay 0.1%?

19:26 mircea_popescu you're misrepresenting dynamic equilibrium as static.
19:27 mircea_popescu essentially, you(before the deal) and you(after the deal) are different and irreconciliably so.
19:27 williamdunne Ah okay, I see the difference now
19:27 mircea_popescu while before the deal your incentive might have been to realise future income,
19:27 mircea_popescu after the deal your incentive is to sell more future income for its present value.

20:12 mircea_popescu the misplaced apache is pure linux
20:12 mircea_popescu etc.
20:12 asciilifeform the requiring apache (and not just any, but cpanel's custom) is cpanelism
20:13 mircea_popescu except it doesn't require apache to run a script
20:13 mircea_popescu you can just have your python run off cron, and dump stuff into mysql
20:13 mircea_popescu then fish it out for web display
20:13 asciilifeform mno. need to serve some static pgs
20:13 mircea_popescu so create them as files
20:13 asciilifeform it has to be nginx or a (human) apache
20:13 mircea_popescu apache will serve them if in the right directories
20:15 asciilifeform <mircea_popescu> you can just have your python run off cron << how both will restart synchronized ?
20:15 asciilifeform this is ludicrous
20:15 mircea_popescu wut ?
20:15 asciilifeform i want the two to restart together
20:15 asciilifeform and i want -one- log
20:15 mircea_popescu the wto who
20:16 asciilifeform static and dynamic content servers
20:16 asciilifeform normally this is achieved by having apache (or nginx) pass through to, e.g., python
20:16 mircea_popescu you want a python script to be executed on page load ?
20:17 asciilifeform it isn't a script
20:17 asciilifeform it's a continuous process
20:17 asciilifeform that serves up http
20:17 asciilifeform read the src if interested (under the user i created)
20:17 asciilifeform simplest possible thing
20:17 mircea_popescu so you have your own web server written in python ?
20:17 asciilifeform not own, l0l
20:17 mircea_popescu move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours.
20:18 asciilifeform the whole thing was written in about a day, if you recall, in a mighty hurry
20:18 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: again i don't want python serving up statics
20:18 asciilifeform because it is ludicrous
20:18 mircea_popescu then have python drop the statics in /home/whatever and apache will automagically serve them ?
20:20 asciilifeform would like to run the fucking app without changes
20:20 asciilifeform like normal people.
20:20 asciilifeform on normal computer.
20:20 mircea_popescu cpanel has nothing to do with this.
20:21 asciilifeform normal people can get mod_wsgi if they want it.
20:21 asciilifeform cpanel - no.
20:21 asciilifeform normal people can get -pure- nginx

20:21 mircea_popescu <mircea_popescu> move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours. <
20:22 asciilifeform and apache still runs, eats cycles for fuck knows what
20:22 mircea_popescu and if python.h fails, you prolly don't have th epaths set up right, it'll fai lthe same with or without some derpy package manager.
20:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well actually it wouldn't run, especially if you kill that port in firewall.
20:22 mircea_popescu but you can stop the service in any case.
20:23 asciilifeform still end up with cpanelism autogenned crapolade in every single fucking thing in /etc
20:23 asciilifeform hence the traditional 'cpanel is not removable' dictum
20:24 * mircea_popescu shrugs
20:24 mircea_popescu linux doesn't work. any of it. picking some random idiocy to make an example of is futile.
20:24 mircea_popescu gentoo is a piece of shit. debian is a piece of shit. centos is a piece of shit.
20:24 mircea_popescu apache is a piece of shiot. so is nginx. so is everytrhiong else.
20:24 * asciilifeform genuinely wonders if mircea_popescu ever runs any www gadget that isn't a php bloggatron
20:24 mircea_popescu nothing works, everything';s made by idiots.
20:25 mircea_popescu nope. why would i even bother with www except for a blog
20:25 asciilifeform mircea_popescu is almost but not entirely right. we are, for instance, presently speaking through an ancient atlantian tech that sorta works.
20:25 mircea_popescu oh get the fuck out. ircd ? THIS works ?

20:26 mircea_popescu this, btw, is my constraint. fuck "fits in head", i dun care.
20:26 mircea_popescu DO.THEWHOLE.JOB.
20:26 asciilifeform 'fits in head' is how you actually -know- that x 'did whole job'
20:27 asciilifeform anything else - is conjecture.
20:27 mircea_popescu indeed.
20:27 asciilifeform it is also how you know that x did -nothing but- whole job.
20:27 asciilifeform so 'fits in head' is 'part of a balanced diet' with 'does whole job' (otherwise brick 'fits in head')

20:45 BingoBoingo danielpbarron: I'm just astounded at how he suggests he anticipated his appearance on the show could be anything other than a trap and how he failed to prepare accordingly
20:47 danielpbarron yeah i'm waiting for the end of the article where he admits to satire
20:50 pete_dushenski "Orioles will play Wednesday's game vs White Sox with NO audience in the stands." << heh. one for BingoBoingo.
20:51 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: At least Ferguson is decently removed from the St Louis city center
20:52 pete_dushenski eh. st louis could use a kick in the pants from what i hear.
20:55 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: In which manner?
20:56 asciilifeform how the everliving fuck is cpanel used with anything other than php/static wwwtron
21:02 mircea_popescu jurov what is ?
21:03 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo mainly in terms of st louis being known for murders and crimes, and that a proper boiling over of the tensions between police and citizens could bring about positive resolution, whoever 'wins'
21:04 mircea_popescu lol @the prostitution=alimony thing.
21:05 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: Eh, There's a balance.
21:07 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo a balance between what ?
21:07 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: I think some hmility was imposed when some of the black kids got too amped up on "kill whitey" and started going after Bosnians. Seems they learned better than to do that within a month or so.
21:07 mircea_popescu "Instantly, I knew I was walking into a trap. I looked around, half hoping for a hug or some assurance that everything was going to be okay"
21:07 mircea_popescu lol this derp
21:07 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: crime/not crime in stl
21:08 asciilifeform i can't even config a fucking apache vhost on this thing.
21:08 asciilifeform and apparently neither can anyone else
21:08 mircea_popescu ahhh
21:08 mircea_popescu so basically... cpanel is super-security. even if malware expert gets root... what good is it ? :D
21:09 asciilifeform can't go far with exploded head.
21:09 mircea_popescu "I tried to take the conversation out of feelings and into logic by claiming that" << roosh is a fucktard srsly.
21:09 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo bosnians being yugoslavia vets or... ?
21:09 asciilifeform 'proceeding from informal to formal by formal means' (TM)
21:10 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo and where's ferguson at these days ? i haven't heard much out of there recently.
21:10 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: Largely refugees came over in the 1990's colonized south city. The generation of Bosnians being targeted were largely the kids... The older ones seemed very unhappy about that...
21:10 pete_dushenski in terms of street violence, dead cops, local politics.
21:11 BingoBoingo Ferguson's been mostly tamed by Sharptoon and other FBI folk
21:11 pete_dushenski ah ok
21:12 BingoBoingo Back to just the normal shootings, police retreated, longtime businesses closing up and leaving
21:12 pete_dushenski hm rough.
21:12 mircea_popescu they're moving online ?
21:13 pete_dushenski cities like ferguson would be best served by a fleet of amazon delivery drones.
21:13 pete_dushenski dropping packages ordered online and heading back to homebase in the country far, far away
21:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i wasted many hours and actually moved phuctor to that thing, and it runs. just can't be reached from anywhere outside of box per se, aha.
21:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well, is it at least crunching the numbers ?
21:14 asciilifeform would, if there were any
21:14 mircea_popescu i thought we had a million key db at some point ?
21:14 asciilifeform aha
21:15 mircea_popescu what, your scp's broken ?
21:15 asciilifeform i'm not dealing with syncing keys from the old install back into this one
21:15 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Mostly moving to retirement
21:15 asciilifeform (which is what i'd have to do if they were to be used simultaneously)
21:15 mircea_popescu so then what does this do ?
21:15 asciilifeform sit there sadly (tm)
21:15 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: I think you underestimate the potential drone casualties
21:15 asciilifeform because box lacks normal apache
21:16 mircea_popescu aha. well ok. did you break it in the process ?
21:16 asciilifeform break in what sense
21:16 mircea_popescu in the sense that is it still usable as a cpanel box or will i have to have it reflushed.
21:16 asciilifeform can be used
21:16 asciilifeform login - same

21:17 * BingoBoingo starting to believe that Stan's gentoo build is so far from normal "linux" might as well be called Stannix nao
21:17 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: it is perfectly normal
21:17 mircea_popescu a further three day experiment in the "linux is worthless and broadly unusable" meme. i guess it needed more documentation.
21:17 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo not in the slightest. just that drones are cheaper than people. certainly with the us legal system such as it is. see mp's piece on 'how to go out in a blaze of glory'
21:17 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Normal in terms of distance from your box to median boxen
21:18 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: again, entirely normal
21:18 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: phuctor, for instance, presently runs on 'the world's worst hoster', aws
21:18 asciilifeform and did not require any wizardry there
21:18 BingoBoingo When did AWS overtake Godaddy.com for that honor?
21:19 asciilifeform when opened doors ?
21:19 asciilifeform (charges by cpu cycle)
21:19 mircea_popescu asciilifeform apparently not the worst.
21:19 mircea_popescu the only worse alternative to the worlds 2nd most common hoster seems to be... the world's MOST common.
21:19 mircea_popescu ya know ?
21:21 decimation aws does seem to have some degree of ddos protection

22:32 mircea_popescu mike_c sounds like secret overflow eh.
22:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform story of my lyf.
22:32 mircea_popescu decimation that is not why large corporations exist. large corporations exist because it is cheaper for the socialist state to interact with larger items than with smaller items.
22:33 BingoBoingo "burndown" is the only solution to certain problems in horticulture
22:33 decimation he does hypothesize that later
22:33 mircea_popescu that's why 100 employers of 10 employees each need a pile of paperwork from city hall, whereas one employer of 1000 employees gets free money from city hall
22:33 decimation "I do think that government often tilts the scale in favor of large organizations. The high fixed cost of regulatory compliance is one factor. Government has been a key customer in industries like aerospace, information technology, and finance, and the fixed costs of selling to government are very high, because of all of the hoops that you have to jump through."

22:34 decimation yeah, good point, this
22:35 mircea_popescu if you were going to be raped,
22:35 decimation the corruption in selling physical goods to usg is nowhere near the size of the corruption of 'selling services'
22:35 mircea_popescu would you prefer being raped by ten thousand slimy worms
22:35 mircea_popescu or by a bull ?

22:36 decimation well, the government believes they can make the bull like them
22:36 mircea_popescu eeexactly.

23:14 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: openbsd is gcc-based
23:14 asciilifeform it's mainly the devices.
23:15 asciilifeform i also have boxes that run closedsource linux crapolade (e.g., xilinx toolchain)
23:15 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Indeed. OpenBSD is GCC based and still weird on devices. Also generally weird.
23:15 TomServo pogoplug and such I understand.. but how does it factor in the cpanel debate?
23:15 asciilifeform TomServo: it doesn't
