11:17 mircea_popescu kinda how fuckgoats even got started, their we-are-idiots naming conventions.
11:22 trinque "the intercept" is meanwhile very much not a propaganda outlet / honeypot.
11:23 mircea_popescu they pretend to be simply stupid.
11:24 mircea_popescu and if experience with the empire of "i just want to" lazy idiots is any guide, they're DEFINITELY not going to "get in trouble for buying microsoft". because "nobody could have predicted" and "they were just doing their job" which "hey man, it's just a gig, it's not my life!"
11:24 mircea_popescu and besides, they've successfulyl thrown the curve, ALL $item are equally shitty so whatcha gonna pick and choose hm ?
11:26 mircea_popescu because why the fuck would inept contractor now in jail pick qntra ? NOBODY HEARD OF IT!!!1 and $assorted-excuses, all of which squarely come back to "hey, at least you wouldn't be in jail today".

12:19 lobbes I think they do match what goes into void, but the 1% refers to amount taken out of paychex

12:38 danielpbarron that's my understanding of how package mask works
12:39 trinque -icu -nls << why not also
12:39 danielpbarron with that rule in place, my emerge grabbed gcc (Gentoo Hardened 4.9.4 p1.0, pie-0.6.4) 4.9.4
12:39 mod6 cool. thanks for posting that.
12:39 mod6 trinque: what do those flags do?
12:40 lobbes Oh nice. Ty danielpbarron
12:40 mod6 oh unicode and native language support.
12:40 mod6 got it.
12:40 mircea_popescu oh nice work danielpbarron
12:40 trinque mod6: nls is a string lookup thinger for translation; icu is yep, unicode thinger for iirc hieroglyph support
12:42 trinque ought to have also: -pulseaudio
12:42 trinque or somebody may pull that harry poetteringism in.
12:42 trinque alsa has dmix; there's no reason to use pulseaudio for mixing
12:43 trinque -accessibility too why not.
12:43 danielpbarron where are you suggesting these use flags go? in make.conf?
12:43 trinque yes, globally
12:45 trinque also my recipe caps gnupg at a 1.x
12:45 mod6 nice
12:46 danielpbarron that's in asciilifeform's /etc/portage/package.mask/crapolade
12:46 trinque cool
12:47 trinque no, that appears to ban greater than a particular 2.x
12:47 danielpbarron right, and next highest thing is gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.21

13:24 trinque doesn't mean something wont try to haul it in
13:25 trinque we're playing whackamole here aren't we
13:25 asciilifeform trinque: the way portage masks work,
13:25 asciilifeform is that when you build a thing that 'wants to haul it in' it barfs instead
13:25 trinque I'm aware of how they work.
13:25 asciilifeform and cries, 'hey won'tcha add the use flags back in pretty pleez'
13:25 asciilifeform aha
13:25 trinque in that case mask whole package without a version
13:26 asciilifeform just don't enable 'autounmask'.
13:26 asciilifeform ( this is the one mistake that'll get the crud flooding back in )
13:26 trinque sadly, the -a flag will also happily ask you if you want it to unmask, add use flags, etc
13:26 trinque gotta watch out for that also.
13:27 trinque -a apparently meaning --ask-to-fuck-in-ass
13:28 asciilifeform lol i never tried that one
13:28 asciilifeform but i believe.

13:30 trinque thing bowed to "do what I mean" right there.
13:40 * danielpbarron always reads the emerge --ask output before typing 'yes'
13:41 danielpbarron but i think even if you accidentally agree to use changes, it'll put them in a ._* hidden file that you still have to manually mv to the correct place
13:51 asciilifeform meanwhile, in usian komsomol comedy, https://archive.is/h3PHo
13:52 asciilifeform 'At least 10 students who had been accepted as members of Harvard’s Class of 2021 have already learned an important lesson about real-life consequences for online behavior. They had their offers of admission rescinded after the college learned that they had been posting wildly inappropriate memes on a private Facebook group. Here, “wildly inappropriate” means any combination of racist, bigoted, sexually explicit, or violent.'
13:52 asciilifeform 'A few examples of posts that the Harvard Crimson cites are posts referring to hanging a Mexican child as “piñata time,” and posts mocking sexual assault or the Holocaust. These are all things that are part of common discourse on some terrible parts of the internet. Yet they are not part of common discourse at Harvard, or the administration doesn’t want them to be.'
13:52 asciilifeform gold.
13:58 mircea_popescu lmao who the fuck in his right mind wants to go to harvard.

14:04 mircea_popescu sure. i'm just shaking my head in disbelief at the notion someone they'd consider would actually consider going.
14:04 mircea_popescu "sexually explicit" ? bitch, empire at zenith starts providing commoner whores IN PAIRS and SINCE FUCKING HIGHSCOOL.
14:05 mircea_popescu what the fuck else is even the point. going to harvard like that is like going to the supermarket to pay to stock their shelves. ain't what a fucking supermarket is.
14:06 asciilifeform if you were born & raised in the supermarket, stocking the shelves is an honour. or somethinglikethat
14:06 mircea_popescu ...
14:06 mircea_popescu no, i understand how the in-story narrative goes. i'm talking about reality for a moment.
14:08 asciilifeform and mircea_popescu knows very well that puritan reich does not 'supply whores in paris', or even in bmore. instead it sacks inconvenient presidents, generals, etc. under the guise of 'immoral conduct unbefitting officer' for simply having been seen to fuck something
14:09 mircea_popescu but why would you go lol.
14:09 asciilifeform why would you join kpss.
14:09 mircea_popescu "here's the stupid reich. it... does stupid shit, and it doesn't pay. wanna join ???" "um... "
14:09 mircea_popescu dude, joining the nazi purebloods did mean you gotta eat nothing but leeks for a whole saturday to hang out with the nuts at their all-mineral-water parties. ok.
14:10 asciilifeform aha, exactly same idea
14:10 mircea_popescu but it ALSO meant you injected strychnine into the unterwhores and whipped them till they stiffened, if you felt like it.
14:10 asciilifeform playing fast an' loose with chronology here
14:10 mircea_popescu see ? it's a quid pro quo like that, "yes $badthing, but then $goodthing". whereas here ... it's 100% "hey, want to cut your arm off so you could have an eye gouged out???" "no bitch."
14:10 asciilifeform the strychnine whippings didn't go on offer till later
14:11 mircea_popescu hence "Empire at zenith".
14:11 asciilifeform at first it was just mineralwater.
14:11 mircea_popescu there;s maybe 6 months differential between these.

14:22 trinque mmm, who can bring himself to believe that these people had some report of "omg russian hax" and it was a matter of normal procedure, and not disinfo, to hand them to Miss Reality.
14:23 trinque leaked means true these days.

14:27 BingoBoingo Have you tried giving the bone marrow moar smokes?
14:27 BingoBoingo Perhaps some smoke detectors?
14:27 BingoBoingo benzene?
14:30 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: as you can probably guess if you think about it for 5min -- this isn't the hard part
14:30 BingoBoingo In other lies and lying liars, Obamacare exchange hits designed End of Life in Ohio, WaPo blames Trumpreich https://archive.is/bb3WF
14:31 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The hard part is patience and sorting?
14:31 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: hard part is 'divides infinitely'+'still useful, rather than tumorous liquishit with 500 chromosomes'
14:32 asciilifeform this, now that i think of it, is a universal annoyance, in other walks of life also
14:33 BingoBoingo What part of methuselah means useful? And what keeps tumorous liquishit from being useful? HeLa has to be cheap enough now to be used as ballast.
14:34 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: fashionable, in those days, idea, was to 'make unaging tissue' by reenabling telomerase (normally jumpered out, in most tissue). but -- somewhat unsurprisingly -- it turned out to be a 'glue the gas gauge needle to 'full'' sort of thing
14:34 asciilifeform i.e. the thing was jumpered out 'for a reason'
14:36 BingoBoingo Well, gas gauge is sup[erfluous thing like tachometer. Real motorist can tell with ear if machine needs fuel.
14:37 asciilifeform i suppose if your auto is a leaf blower
14:40 BingoBoingo Nah, it's a rather identifiable enging stopping sound
14:40 asciilifeform lol
14:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform afaik "activated teleomerase" === "more chromosomes than proteins" sorta deal.
14:46 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: best analogy i can think of -- 'xerocopy of xerocopy...'
14:46 asciilifeform goes to shit
14:47 mircea_popescu right.
14:49 mircea_popescu anyway, the idea of "better cell" is inescapable for even cursory qualified microbiologist, chiefly because cell really is a pile of accidentally functioning complexity.
14:49 mircea_popescu the happenstance that improvements dun werk isn't of the nature of discouraging anyone.
14:49 asciilifeform the accidental-pile is the lure for improvement-hunters to begin with
14:49 mircea_popescu aha
14:49 asciilifeform i.e. the only kind of system that could even in principle contain room for massive-improvements
14:50 asciilifeform but -- not so easy.
14:50 asciilifeform ( see the old dragonfly thread... )
14:55 mircea_popescu but yes, the other problem is that "better" in the sense of hardy isn't exactly better in the sense of useful. hence the hela example, beats ~any eukariotic cells out of the water, and so what of it.
14:55 mircea_popescu in the end it's just a very incompetent bacterium

15:59 asciilifeform diana_coman: mmaps offer yet another method of glue -- theoretically 2+ processes can simply share it
15:59 diana_coman ahh
15:59 asciilifeform ( though it is not why i made an mmaptron )
16:00 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: no deepwater ports make it difficult to deliver food directly, neighbors have said "no stopping at qatar after with us"
16:00 diana_coman sorry, I was deep into other stuff and got directly onto the ping, w.o. getting to catch up with the log
16:01 ben_vulpes suez exclusion whennnnn
16:01 mircea_popescu ya but...
16:02 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu is suggesting this could be another 'mosul'?
16:02 mircea_popescu besides, iran as a russian proxy seems to be ready to ship
16:03 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes not really ; usg hasn't yet won THAT one.
16:04 mircea_popescu anyway, lulz of all time "one of 3 sovereign pretenders in libya "cut ties" with qatar". hurr really ?
16:04 mircea_popescu apparently the perils of being allied with the usg is still not apparent. fucking served libya ah so well.
16:05 mircea_popescu "yemen's internationally recognized government" aka "usg imposed illegitimate criminal organisation based in yemen" idem "cuts ties". wtf ties.
16:09 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: 'mosul' in the sense of "we're totally about to win! it's going to happen! any day!"
16:10 ben_vulpes "omg supplies embargoed over ramadan! peninsulites ready to keel over any day!"
16:10 diana_coman hmmm; asciilifeform at a quick make (on a machine where I played with Ada successfully - if little - before) I get this: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/lMtJf/?raw=true
16:10 mircea_popescu i dunno. somewhat of a game of chicken, lots of "valuable" real estate piled up there. saudi arabia is particularly frail, if rockets start falling in capital the whole saudi nonsense will prolly end.
16:11 mircea_popescu it's ~equivalent of south korea, international criminal community "miracle" / extraterritorial depot.
~ 26 minutes ~
16:38 diana_coman asciilifeform, furthermore: adding -gnat12 got rid of the default discriminant barfs (as promised by ada docs) but I still have the complaints on prefix of "image" attribute
16:38 asciilifeform diana_coman: the example was written on a box with adacore's gnat; the stock gnu one is stricter, doesn't permit Foo'Image -- instead you gotta FooTypeName'Image(Foo)
16:39 asciilifeform mod6 recently ran into exact same issue, but for some reason i can't turn it up in the log
16:39 asciilifeform ( possibly it was in #trilema-mod6 )
16:39 diana_coman weren't we going for stricter?
16:39 asciilifeform diana_coman: in this particular example, can debate which is the useful-stricter
16:40 asciilifeform standard, iirc, permits the variant.
16:40 diana_coman k
16:40 asciilifeform it won't actually matter in any of my properly (v-genesis) released material -- i have no plan to use gnat's standard io for anything
16:40 asciilifeform but it does appear in example snips.
16:45 asciilifeform ( 'image' -- for the uninitiated -- is the operation sometimes called 'to-string' in other languages )
16:48 diana_coman I can confirm it eats that part fine once changed to QItem'Image(V) instead of V'Image
16:48 asciilifeform diana_coman: what barf remains ?
16:49 diana_coman asciilifeform, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/AoXKc/?raw=true
16:49 asciilifeform lemme guess,
16:49 asciilifeform you're on a 32bit box ??
16:50 diana_coman no, lolz
16:50 diana_coman it's 64bit
16:50 asciilifeform your gnat is a 64bit binary ? verify
16:50 diana_coman and yes, I just double checked arch
16:51 asciilifeform your gnat is certifiably broken, then
16:51 asciilifeform throw it out and get the proper one.
16:52 asciilifeform ( 4.9 from adacore )
16:52 diana_coman ugh
16:52 asciilifeform what can i say, the statement is 100% legal per the standard
16:52 asciilifeform if a compiler won't eat it -- it's retarded and must die.
16:54 asciilifeform try To_Address instead of System'To_Address
16:54 asciilifeform ( they are, per standard, equivalent forms, but possibly stock gcc is broken in this particular spot )
16:55 asciilifeform i probably oughta explain why we even have this MAP_FAILED : constant Address := System'To_Address(16#FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF#);
16:55 asciilifeform mmap is a unixism and returns a null ptr on failure
16:56 asciilifeform ( because unix was dropped as a child, it uses in-band idiocy and magic failure values that are not type-distinguishable from successes )
16:56 diana_coman neah, it says it can't even see it then; will try another time with the adacore 4.9
16:56 asciilifeform this on all known boxes equals buswidth(0)-1
16:56 asciilifeform aka -1
16:57 asciilifeform but it ain't a -1 to us, because we are using a sane language and it is treated ONLY as the addr of the beginning of the allocated mmap. but first gotta check for the failure. so this requires a comparison to FFFFF....[buswidthsize]
16:58 asciilifeform note, again, we cannot compare to -1, because we are using a sane language, where '-1' is not a valid address of anything, nor even a valid modular-type
16:59 asciilifeform so instead we have this explicit constant.
16:59 asciilifeform ( now that i think about it, we could also obtain the eggog code by invoking a mmap that will be certain to fail, and recording the result. but ugghh... )
16:59 mircea_popescu might also change
17:00 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if it ever were to change, ~100% of the contents of your box would barf
17:00 asciilifeform irrecoverably
17:00 asciilifeform so quite unlikely.
17:00 mircea_popescu not during runtime. during lifetime of codebase.
17:01 asciilifeform but linus did love to brag, 'nobody promised you a stable abi', as if this were a point of pride.
17:01 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: well yes.
17:02 asciilifeform https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_rm/Address-Clauses.html << discussion of 'address'
17:06 asciilifeform sooo let's visit the posix folx, while we're at it,
17:06 asciilifeform and we find this gem :
17:06 asciilifeform 'Existing implementations of mmap() return the value -1 when unsuccessful. Since the casting of this value to type void * cannot be guaranteed by the ISO C standard to be distinct from a successful value, this volume of POSIX.1-2008 defines the symbol MAP_FAILED, which a conforming implementation does not return as the result of a successful call.'

17:22 asciilifeform oh, phun phakt, adacore distributes its own mmaptron -- but it is monstrous (easily 25x larger than mine) and largely on account of supporting winblowz
17:23 asciilifeform i won't even bother to link to it. who wants -- can find.

18:13 mircea_popescu corporate sponsorship to work for nsa ?
18:13 mircea_popescu sounds moar like pantsuit whore party sponsorship.
18:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: most 'intelligence komyooniti' folx slave for a nominally 'private' org, rather than for usg in the proper sense
18:15 asciilifeform this 'sponsor' is expected to cover cost of paperwork
18:15 asciilifeform ( which costs, depending on whom one asks, 5-25k usd )
18:16 mircea_popescu sure. still, this looks like a home office clerk rather than an actual contractor. woman had all the intellectual power of a pet goat.
18:16 asciilifeform this'd be an accurate description of most of the folx in the business, yes
18:18 asciilifeform they hire on a very late-sovok 'too dim to know what to steal and where to take it' principle
18:19 trinque still missing the disinfo value of this "leak" imo.

18:20 asciilifeform snore.
18:20 mircea_popescu trinque i don't think anyone bothered to read the content of the crap.
18:20 asciilifeform i did..
18:20 asciilifeform it was a snoar
18:20 trinque now they can head into this comey guy's testimony with ample reference to the leaked doc
18:20 mircea_popescu i did not. also am not going to. for very precisely the trinque reason, i can't be arsed to read $nobody provenance items.
18:20 trinque it's a move against trump, transparently.
18:21 asciilifeform trinque: it was a convenient cheat around the 'they cited 0 actual intel' thing
18:21 trinque aha.
18:21 asciilifeform now can unofficially-cite 'genuine1!!!1 nsaological find'
18:21 trinque exactly right, and "we'd show you the proof, but classified!"
18:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: you missed 0 useful
18:24 mircea_popescu im sure.
18:25 asciilifeform also i expect the criminal case against the chick, will somehow evaporate.
18:25 mircea_popescu depends how much "heroine of the ourdemocracy" mileage can be had from it.
18:25 mircea_popescu if nobody gives a shit, yes. if "social media storm", then not right off.
18:26 asciilifeform well yes, 'first you pillage, ~then~ you burn'
18:26 mircea_popescu maybe dumb cunt hangs self in prison, optimal outcome as far as the pantsuit are concerned.
18:26 asciilifeform saint factory, lel
18:26 mircea_popescu could be concern for her cats, what.
18:27 asciilifeform i'd expect those'd be sold for soap
