12:34 funkenstein_ so.. what exactly was meant by "forgetting the key" if one were to say, discard a vpatch / sig combo?
12:34 PeterL remove your key from the keys dir, so nothing you publish would be allowed in
12:36 funkenstein_ wouldn't it only be allowed in if you put it in explicitly?
12:36 funkenstein_ i was under the impression that part of the advantage here was having extensibility, pick and choose capability of what patches to use
12:46 funkenstein_ might be worth noting that following mod6 v0.0.3: Creating, Naming, and Submitting a Vpatch will be doing the diff one dir up from the source
12:46 funkenstein_ *vdiff
12:46 funkenstein_ whereas all the other patches are made from outside the "bitcoin" directory

12:54 ascii_field the important thing is that v (at least my version) has no notion of 'current checkout' or whatnot.
12:54 mod6 funkenstein_: so the guide basically wants you to do this:
12:54 mod6 cp -pr bitcoin a && cp -pr bitcoin b
12:54 mod6 then make your changes in b
12:54 mod6 then
12:55 mod6 vdiff.sh a b > your_patch_name.vpatch
12:55 mod6 that should give exactly the basing that you need.
12:56 ascii_field funkenstein_: i recommend dpasting your patch for review before signing formally
12:56 mod6 i guess i should note that you should run this step first: mkdir -p a b
12:56 mod6 then you copy in a "pressed" version or "branch" into a & b, make your changes in b, then vdiff, all should be happy.
12:57 funkenstein_ my mistake was that inside a & b were: COPYING and /src directory
12:58 funkenstein_ instead of a single directory "bitcoin" with that in it
12:58 mod6 yup, no prob -- glad you asked.
12:58 mod6 don't hesitate if you hit any other bumps in the road :]

14:10 phf mircea_popescu: afaiu, steam now funnels all indie submissions through "steam greenlight". you list your game for $100 fee, description, screenshots, gameplay videos, demos, etc. and the commoonity votes on whether or not they would want to see it in the store. they explicitly mention that for free games any sort of in game payments must been done exclusively through "steam wallet". the technical side involves integrating their

14:13 thestringpuller phf: yea steam is super picky, and takes a huge cut of payment for using their platform

14:22 thestringpuller ascii_field: from your perspective it would seem this has been going on in video games since the 80's
14:23 thestringpuller Nintendo was very much a walled garden distribution center for the NES/Famicom

17:19 mircea_popescu fucking hell.
17:19 mircea_popescu and they did this DELIBERATELY.
17:19 ascii_field take it to the shooting range and shoot it
17:19 mircea_popescu exactly like i'm going to rape their daughters with a muskrat.
17:19 ascii_field then buy eizo colouredge.

17:20 mircea_popescu 0 reason to prefer any turd over any other turd.
17:20 ascii_field mircea_popescu: it isn't a turd !
17:20 jurov mircea_popescu: you don't even accept recommendation from ppl who are in your wot?
17:20 ascii_field ^
17:20 ascii_field i use EXCLUSIVELY these now.
17:20 ascii_field whenever possible.
17:21 mircea_popescu jurov if i was looking to buy one. but as it is, fuck it, what can he do if it turns out to be a dud, make the eizo ceo do my dishes ?
17:22 ascii_field mircea_popescu: i have 4, of 3 different types. can comment on the characteristics of the particular samples.
17:22 ascii_field naturally anything can 'turn out to be a dud'
17:23 ascii_field actually make that 5, of 4 types
17:23 mircea_popescu but there's nothing more in that recomendation than "this cheez tastes good", is there ? not like it's 4:3 or some shit.
17:23 ascii_field (i have a b&w one that is not in service currently)
17:24 mircea_popescu just another shitty monitor from the shitty people that make the shitty monitors.
17:24 ascii_field actually they have measurable characteristics which th manufacturer guarantees

17:24 ascii_field which, in particular, is mircea_popescu interested in ?
17:24 ascii_field yes i have a 4:3.
17:24 jurov but mircea_popescu wants his monitor to do dishes
17:24 mircea_popescu i guess. i'm just not of the mind that there can be such a thing as a good lcd anyway.
17:24 ascii_field and a 16:10 and a 16:9.
17:24 punkman eizo has a square monitor btw
17:24 ascii_field mircea_popescu: there are precisely two makers of 'good lcd'
17:24 ascii_field eizo and barco.
17:25 mircea_popescu alright. well... i got a new lg, which hopefully now no longer power saves.
17:25 ascii_field but if you'd rather suffer with consumer shit - who am i to argue.
17:25 mircea_popescu da fuck power would it save anyway THE FUCKING TRANSFORMER IS STILL PLUGGED IN
17:25 mircea_popescu idiots.

17:27 ascii_field all of my panels have 10-bit (yes) DACs, no detectable dithering.
17:27 punkman 8bit is fine too, if it's actually 8
17:27 ascii_field (for what the two extra bits? for plugging in the colorimeter and fine-verniering, naturally)
17:28 mircea_popescu i would rather make my own fucking monitor.
17:28 mircea_popescu motherfucker, i gotta go around with a colorimeter now.
17:28 ascii_field you do it once when unpacking
17:29 mircea_popescu i don't even want to do the unpacking.
17:29 ascii_field or if, i suppose, significant temperature move
17:29 ascii_field anyway this part is optional and only for fanatics (artists, folks who actually ~need~ to reproduce a colour)
17:29 ascii_field i don't even have it.
17:30 mircea_popescu im just pissy.
17:30 mircea_popescu fucking "power save".
17:30 mircea_popescu i hope they get buzzword cancer. and it'll be unoperable by definition.
17:30 ascii_field welcome to how i feel every time i touch just short of anything !
17:30 punkman I'd like a colorimeter so I can skip the uncomfortable period when changing monitors
17:30 punkman otherwise, I don't care about teh colors enough
17:30 ascii_field punkman: why ever change monitors ??
17:31 ascii_field recent ones don't even have tubes. nothing fades.
17:31 ascii_field (replacing ccfl tubes is a royal bitch)
17:31 punkman upgrades, replacements, moving countries
17:32 ascii_field from this thread i find it interesting that mircea_popescu so strongly disbelieves in the existence of proper lcd
17:32 ascii_field perhaps some schmuck once showed him a crapple $2k panel and he took a crowbar to it in disgust
17:33 ascii_field (justifiably)
17:33 kakobrekla once you go ips you can never go back. unless blind.
17:33 ascii_field it isn't just a matter of ips.
17:33 kakobrekla no, but i can live with various ipses, not with any tn.
17:34 ascii_field pre-2006 or so tn is quite usable.
17:35 kakobrekla what, a 17" ?
17:35 ascii_field aha.
17:35 kakobrekla useless
17:35 ascii_field not useless, i used to have #b-a on one.
17:35 ascii_field just such
17:36 ascii_field how many pixels does kakobrekla need to display #b-a ?!
17:36 kakobrekla ba gets about half of the 27s 2560x1440
17:37 kakobrekla i can only plug in 6 x27 monitors before i need a second gpu
17:37 kakobrekla hence 17 is useless
17:38 * ascii_field not up to 6 yet.
17:40 punkman which gpu does 6?

23:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the reason this putative is seemingly without answer is because it is castrated. what tlp would do if he realised what's wrong with his head depends on WHY HE REALISED. what would the pubescent girl do if she matured ? nothing the pubescent girl can do BECAUSE maturation is DRIVEN by the VERY DEED! once she finds a boy she loves she will both be a woman and know what to do ; once tlp ACTUALLY understands
23:35 mircea_popescu the suck he will both be free and able to act.
23:36 mircea_popescu before that happens there necessarily isn't what either "can" do.
23:38 mircea_popescu meanwhile http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=28-10-2015#1309798 is a much deeper problem than realised. yes, it's true that the adolescents see themselves as peers to the adults. NOT IT IS NOT TRUE THEY ARE. yes it is this false, unfounded identification that drives both DK and the insane notions of the adolescents as to the failures of both "the world" and adults (these two aren't even really different).
23:38 assbot Logged on 28-10-2015 07:29:28; mircea_popescu: "This tension in anon culture, that every single person is empowered by the whole of the group and thus merits treatment as a peer, turns these individual hostile challenges into a storm of entitled demands for attention. Anons see themselves as peers to everyone, empowered by the support of the group, and thus entitled to participate in any conversation they aren’t forcibly prevented from entering."
