09:44 mircea_popescu google does all sorts of "useful" things, basically trying to copy the tmsr model. they have a "google fonts" thing half the sites on the internet link (and in the process, give usg details on the zeks whereabouts every so often) ; they have a "code repository" about a quarter the sites on the internet link (this is instrumental in the multi-mb liquid shit webpage era -- 0 cost liquid shit provided by usg's own alphabet. they

~ 58 minutes ~
14:03 phf PeterL: the approach that we've been taking with legacy C code is pulling out autotools, and replacing with a single #ifdef/.. configuration header. outside of linux/bsd code is probably not going to work, and the approach is to look at the configuration header file (http://btcbase.org/patches/vdiff_sha_static/tree/vtools/src/system.h#L145 in case of vtools) and patch it for your system
14:04 asciilifeform this headache oughta start evaporating once we pin down gcc for all time
14:05 phf well, not until we also start providing our own, portable libc with all the possible portable functionality included. like bswap64 in this case
14:05 asciilifeform phf: musl
14:08 phf that's not the source of the issue though, musl is libc, all the other libc's also support the entirety of libc, the horror crawls through the parts where no libc or posix or whatever exists. for example byteswapping code is not in there
14:09 asciilifeform phf: right, but if errrybody is building off same libcism, proggies will be massaged until builds without eggog

14:13 phf hmm
14:14 phf well, in that case the problem is already solved. if PeterL were to install cuntoo with musl (or without) vtools will build.
14:15 phf but where this subthread started "_outside of linux/bsd_ code is probably not going to work, and the approach is to look at the configuration header file and patch it _for your system_

17:13 asciilifeform because otherwise, folx are in effect signing coad they could not possibly have tested.
17:14 asciilifeform it is for this reason that asciilifeform cut most ( unfortunately not all, there is room for improvement! ) ifdefolade, out of trb.

17:19 phf considering that no one but myself have signed vtools i'm not too worried about that part
17:20 asciilifeform the principle of the thing, phf
17:20 asciilifeform i've prolly signed a #ifdef DEC_PDP11 piece of shit at some point. dun mean it ain't a sin.
17:28 phf well, in principles i'm not buying the untested code signing argument, because we don't have a universal measure for what code signing indicates. you've attempted to solve that problem, but it's not been used by anyone. i think right now effectively code signing works like a wot rating, without a rating. you have to consult with the signer to discover what the intent was.
17:29 asciilifeform phf: however it ends up defined, signing coad you could not possibly have run, and which -- given how c worx -- could contain literally ~anything~ -- can't possibly be The Right Thing
17:30 mircea_popescu phf this is not avoidable, to figure out ~why~ you put x.key in your seals dir you gotta know, human-know, what x stands for.
17:30 phf well, vpatches without one true genesis implicitly bring in the world
17:31 phf you're not signing that printf on counterparty's machine doesn't actually bind to system("rm ...")
17:31 asciilifeform phf: that's rather exactly what you're signing when you sign a proggy with inactivated #ifdefolade
17:32 asciilifeform unless you actually went and studied what happens in each possible combo of toggles
17:32 asciilifeform on the requisite platforms etc
17:32 mircea_popescu but what ~happens~ not ~what could happen~.
17:32 asciilifeform correct, the 'could' is inaccessible.
17:33 mircea_popescu so what is "happens" ? what ~should have happened~ or what ~did happen~ ?
17:33 asciilifeform but dollars to doughnuts if you dun have e.g. pdp11, you won't bother reading its ifdef blocks; and supposing you did read'em, your grasp of what takes place inside won't be worth much if you don't regularly inhabit that platform
17:34 mircea_popescu now this much is so.
17:34 mircea_popescu on the other hand of this argument, "hey mp, what time is it ?" "when ? now ? or when you asked me ?"
17:34 asciilifeform lol ntp thread!111
17:34 mircea_popescu it is.
17:35 phf this argument also applies to the entirety of code off the happy path. "but dollars to doughnuts if you dun have <particularly situation> you won't bother reading its <conditional blocks>".
17:36 asciilifeform re ifdef, n00bz are invited to study how the c preprocessor worx, and shudder at e.g. the fact that they can contain ~other~ ifdef's, which in turn can change the meaning of ~any~ string in the proggy
17:36 asciilifeform phf: this is an unfortunate fact of life for state machine, but it is to be ~fought~, not give in to.
17:36 mircea_popescu phf the "considering that no one but myself have signed vtool" argument is disingenuous in the sense that of telling sons "considering i'm the only one fucking anything...". dami tempu ca ti pirtusu
17:37 mircea_popescu in the sense of dad telling sons*
17:37 phf mircea_popescu: it was more of a tongue in cheek, since i think that asciilifeform is tediously relentless on this particular point
17:38 asciilifeform the correct way to handle the 'gotta change these 17 things to work on pdp11' problem is: v.
17:39 mircea_popescu the problem though remains, and it goes right into ye olde orthogonality and language discussion ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772426 ) : for sigs to mean anything useful they must not mean anything systematical.
17:39 a111 Logged on 2018-01-18 20:11 mircea_popescu: and all this goes right into that older thread of ambiguity, orthogonality and language -- you can never make a language that's orthogonal and ~useful~ in the natural sense. let alone "that anyone'd want to use".
17:39 mircea_popescu so it'd seem the directly evident solution is also correct : let him pull out all ifdefs and let you maintain them, and if this means divergent-same trees, what of it.
17:40 mircea_popescu coherence is after all expensive, and yet-another statement of "the core of this here republic" would be that we don't value coherence above our own heads.
17:41 asciilifeform witness, for instance, how the linux kernel became a 'katamari' of shit-you-will-never-run-even-if-you-live-for-9000-yrs
17:41 phf asciilifeform: i'm still unconvinced by this line of argument, and not on technical merits. i think there's a point that i can't articulate, about what it is that you're signing exactly. an if-def-less code suffers from the same problem that you're trying to apply to ifdef specifically. i can't sign that printf is not malicious on the target machine.
17:42 asciilifeform phf: you dun see a difference between printf() and wtf-func-that-only-exists-on-pdp() ?
17:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform show it to me ?
17:42 mircea_popescu phf nevertheless, his argument is reductionist not categorical. saying "all men die, even those without pneumonia" is not a good reason for bb to not go see doctor.
17:43 asciilifeform when you sign a snipped containing #ifdef pdp ... wtf() #endif , you are , unless explicitly otherwise claimed, signing a thing that you haven't the foggiest notion of running, or even statically digging into
17:43 asciilifeform it's as simple as that
17:43 asciilifeform *snippet
17:43 phf mircea_popescu: but his argument doesn't indicate how pneumonia is a disease. "you will die from pneumonia" taken in isolation doesn't indicate "how soon", etc.
17:43 mircea_popescu tru.
17:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is certain.
17:44 asciilifeform it's a hygienic concern, not a specific promise of imminent death
17:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform however : if you sign code you've not read, you sign code you've not read. if you sign code you've not ~run~, you don't necessarily sign code you've not read.
17:45 asciilifeform this is entirely troo. in the simplest case, consider, comments
17:45 asciilifeform these dun 'run' at all
17:45 asciilifeform yet we sign'em
17:45 mircea_popescu the signature is as to reading, ie, performative, i joe did this. it is not as to the world, ie, declarative, "sticks and stones won't break your bones".
17:46 asciilifeform consider why asciilifeform removed the #ifdefolade ( and consequently, ALL asm inlines ) from mpi.
17:46 mircea_popescu cuz asciilifeform did.
17:46 asciilifeform i am not equipped to test the e.g. ppc routines; and ill-equipped to study'em and certify. and really if somebody wants'em badly, he oughta make use of v and make his branch.
17:47 mircea_popescu hence the multi-tree comment earlier. this seems inescapable.
17:47 asciilifeform it is The Right Thing.
17:47 mircea_popescu and in practice, too. Mocky 's out there trying to run a eulora toolchain on windows i think, peterl trying to vtool on cygwin, etc
17:47 jurov BingoBoingo: ack, will do

17:48 mircea_popescu my first step would be "omfg take that cygwin out". but as per phf's, since i'm not doing it...
17:48 asciilifeform lulzily, asciilifeform was stuck in a winblowz slave galley some yrs ago, and ported whole buncha 'how does this even run, but it does' to cygwin
17:48 asciilifeform but since forgot , like bad dream.
17:49 phf well, like i said from that perspective there's nothing left to do, cygwin is not supported.
17:49 asciilifeform i have no intention of helping winblowzism to continue.

17:50 mircea_popescu it's a substitute boost in this case.

17:52 asciilifeform iirc diana_coman was writing a sane replacement for this item, slowly
17:52 mircea_popescu but im starting to suspect it actually regexps over an indexed list.

17:53 mircea_popescu you know, EXACTLY HOW KOCH GPG WORKS ?
17:53 mircea_popescu "let's make keys, and let's give them indices that aren't guarantee to not collide, and then let's regexp match indices in this indexed list by AN EVEN SHORTER PATTERN"
17:54 diana_coman asciilifeform, that is the deepest level of shit; sort of dungeon style, gotta peel them off one by one
17:55 * asciilifeform deals in the restoration/repair of exactly this type of artifact , in the saeculum, and so can picture
17:57 mircea_popescu it's just shocking to me how ~perdurant~ certain thought patterns are. in continuation of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-26#1829978 ; because ~how the fuck~ is it the case i'd find the same stupidity implemented by some orc kids in some video game engine wanna-be as usg's own brahmin german put in the post-zimmermann pgp massacre ?

18:01 mircea_popescu stone age tribe unknown to mankind, lost in the endless wastes of today's "Sakha Republic" and stone age tribe unknown to mankind, lost in the guarani lands in south america all agree, 3+5 = 11.
18:01 mircea_popescu god help me.
18:02 asciilifeform dun differ so much from the , what, half of the planet that thought that they think with their stomach
18:02 mircea_popescu fwiw, asciilifeform 's lizard hitler hypothesis is exact modern restatement of ye olde "civilisation started by aliens" theory, which was precisely because belle epoque thinking folk threw their hands up over this exact stability.
18:03 asciilifeform faraday threw hands over magnetic field lines, also, what of it.
18:04 asciilifeform re the 3+5=11's , for some small # of possible values of 11, it dun strike me as in any way astonishing that folx with the same physiology will suffer same psychopathologies.
18:05 mircea_popescu the reliability is starting to get to me.
18:06 asciilifeform braincase that worx ok for walking around and not crashing into trees, is of limited use for moar complicated/abstract work, whod'vethunkit

18:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform now that all this is out of the way : would you say specific countermeasures people with known physiology take to avoid known psychopathology are engineering or not ? and if yes, what to yoi object in ifdefs besides the name ?
18:24 mircea_popescu because this is all i can make of it, #ifdef 3+5=11moron, let 3+5=8.
18:25 mircea_popescu to which alf answers "sorry, i only fuck 19yos, i can't tell you why the tits sag" and i go "sure you do, but other people not as fortunate."
18:38 asciilifeform 'specific countermeasures' are imho rather wrongheaded approach. step1 is to correctly sort the shaved apes into the type that tries ( with variable success ) to climb ~down~ from trees, and the type which (ditto) ~back up~, and proceed from there
18:39 mircea_popescu so where do you put the killer micro ?
18:40 asciilifeform recall thread http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-07#1640167
18:40 a111 Logged on 2017-04-07 18:24 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate think. there's two kinds of think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ; the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described as spinning, whereby specific emotional triggers / detriggers are visited in succession. the prussian model was never concerned with the former in any sense, but merely aimed to elimi
18:40 asciilifeform the 2 apes require very diff approaches. for one, it is possible to think of something like engineering. for other -- train, the way one trains circus seals.
18:40 mircea_popescu no argument. but what is the ibm xt compatible, climbing down or back up ?
18:40 asciilifeform why settle for small change of ibm xt, can ask re, e.g., nuke.
18:41 mircea_popescu would you prefer i called it x86 ?
18:41 asciilifeform it's perhaps the most illustrative argument, of folx who oughta know better, issuing the others with ladder with which to climb back into proverbial tree.
18:41 mircea_popescu that's the problem here. "1. we have these machines ; 2. we know they're broken ; 3. alf objects to the curative process either because he doesn't like its name or because that which cureth could make ill."
18:42 asciilifeform i dun object to junkyard wars -- if and where we must. but there is even there a 'up tree' and 'down tree' approach.
18:42 mircea_popescu but yes the reason ifdefs exist is because machines are broken.
18:43 asciilifeform not quite :
18:43 mircea_popescu ifdefs don't flow from prime principles, they're no if.
18:43 asciilifeform they exist because machines were broken ~and~ author lacked v.
18:43 mircea_popescu or rather, because people would prefer a single trunk for all machines, diversely broken, than a trunk for each kind of breakage.
18:43 asciilifeform so author ended up producing a program that is really 27 disjoint proggies masquerading as 1.
18:43 asciilifeform this is intellectually dirty.
18:44 mircea_popescu i dunno i'd go so far as that, but it definitely isn't great engineering.
18:44 asciilifeform hygiene was a quite different affair before discovery of soaps, and likewise programming -- without v
18:45 mircea_popescu having 27 independent restatements of the ~same thing is not intellectually dirty ?
18:45 asciilifeform they ain't same thing, tho
18:46 asciilifeform granted if they differ in pointless/trivial ways, e.g. targeting extinct iron, that's on the conscience of the folx continuing to elongate (supposing any exist) those branches.
18:46 mircea_popescu yet http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1800395
18:46 a111 Logged on 2018-04-16 20:13 mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the 2nd fold of the error : the NOTION of translation is pernicious, and stuff like the protestant lulz of "church of self-esteem" or "we choose to emphasize <bla>" are not unbound errors.
18:47 asciilifeform what asciilifeform would like, is at the very least to stop elongating the dead branches himself. and to stop encouraging others. for this, it is necessary to actually cut the variants into branches.
18:47 mircea_popescu seems the ifdef approach to the problem is more in the vein of the kaballah+commentary (ie, the right thing) than in the vein of the xtian "translated scripture" + "megachurch", ie, idiocy.
18:48 asciilifeform the kabbalist is intellectually ahead of the ifdefist -- he reads what he comments/copies.
18:48 asciilifeform i cut winblowz #ifdefolade out of trb because i did not read it and don't intend to.
18:49 asciilifeform if microshit ends up back from the dead and intellectually dominating the darkfyootoor , it can continue the old branch, and old dead asciilifeform won't be able to do a thing about it
18:49 asciilifeform and this is the way it is.
18:49 mircea_popescu this is traditionally the view of rabbis re bulk of commentary mass.
18:51 asciilifeform i am unequipped to comment in detail on the rabbis and their planet.
18:51 mircea_popescu ifdef amirite.
18:51 asciilifeform i looked in my copy of talmud and did not find ifdefs, lol
18:51 asciilifeform but possibly i dunno where to look
18:52 mircea_popescu i'm saying you're ifdefing it away.
18:52 mircea_popescu to bring this flock back to the manger : what you choose to cut out to stay afloat in the postmodern deluge of intellectual objects is your choice!
18:52 asciilifeform it is my understanding that they tossed'em 1500 or so yrs back.
18:52 mircea_popescu nevertheless, not all these choices can actually be made into meaning.
18:53 asciilifeform my orig point -- asciilifeform won't be in the future signing coad that he is not equipped to run / study in detail.
18:53 mircea_popescu but i suspect you will rue this day if you were to actually get your way, and at some point in 2118 all the work available consists of "try and write this thing from tree y for tree z, we don't currently know why it's a broken polymorphism to the x tree"
18:53 asciilifeform and this specifically includes, tho not limited to , #ifdef pdp11 ...
18:54 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i dunno if i will live to see the end of nonstandard iron / os / junkyard wars. but would like to, at any rate.
18:54 mircea_popescu no, this is simply "27 different proggies, no longet try to masquerade as 1"
18:54 asciilifeform and whatever is in my hands that can contribute to the extermination of the pointless babel, i'ma push.
18:55 mircea_popescu the dispute is as to whether contributing.
18:56 asciilifeform if folx continue to operate 27 pointlessly incompatible platforms, and burn their lives fiddling with otherwise healthy coad to make it go on'em, what can i say, the gods have cursed'em and it is not in my power to uncurse
18:56 mircea_popescu seems the likely course, neh ?
18:56 asciilifeform likely if no effort at all is made to debabelize.
18:56 mircea_popescu and if effort is made, no more specificity of diddling, cr51 for them all ?
18:56 asciilifeform observe that ffa runs , per PeterL, on winblowz, despite asciilifeform having made 0 effort in this direction
18:57 asciilifeform i deliberately wrote portable proggy. not even married, afaik, to 8bit byte.
18:57 mircea_popescu well yes, the protabilityhell starts with printf, which is why phf was using that as example.
18:57 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the extant babel does not contribute to nonspecificity-of-diddling. if anything, quite the opposite.
18:58 mircea_popescu how do you reason ?
18:58 asciilifeform 1 well-understood system 'to rule'em all', fits in head and demonstrably bug-free , and babel -- ends.
18:58 mircea_popescu ye olde dos fit this, yes ? ye olde lispm, perhaps, also ?
18:58 asciilifeform not really, no
18:59 asciilifeform ( dos dun really belong in a discussion of systems, it is more or less 'naked x86 iron, write own os per proggy' )
18:59 asciilifeform ye olde lispm was pile of undergrad beer and pizza hacks, from a software quality pov.
19:00 asciilifeform if it had been written to a standard of 'i throw a dart, and you , programonkey, WILL justify the existence of this line, or die' the coadbase would weigh 1MB .

19:00 mircea_popescu i dunno...
19:01 mircea_popescu in less lofty matters, do you happ[en to recall where the fuck i said essentially "women are the societal scar tissue, by the time males start leaving a field and women start joining it, it's fucked" ?
19:01 asciilifeform hmm
19:02 asciilifeform variously repeated item, it is in one of the programming-related trilemas at the very least

19:08 asciilifeform the tailor's 'skill' and the biorobot's.
19:09 mircea_popescu i wasn't saying this at all.
19:09 mircea_popescu no, genuinely, it's both easier and faster to teach a girl ~anything.
19:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: recall the episode with your burned out water pump ?
19:09 asciilifeform and the wastebaskets
19:09 mircea_popescu yes ?
19:09 asciilifeform i can only presume that the subj gurl was as well-taught as any mircea_popescu patient
19:10 asciilifeform yet , iirc in mircea_popescu's words, 'she broke down in storm of snot' when faced with minor unexpected boojum.

19:10 asciilifeform it ain't about deep physics , no.
19:11 asciilifeform but about ability to deal with the unexpected, the nonstandard. this i see as measure of 'capital S' skill.
19:11 mircea_popescu yes, but it ain't about "minor unexpected" either. it's that i was there, it has everything to do with me and how much she wants to please/impress/etc.
19:11 asciilifeform and afaik is not trainable.
19:11 mircea_popescu i don't see this.
19:12 asciilifeform granted asciilifeform has 1 pet, and not 9000. but regularly witnesses the water pump scenario.
19:12 asciilifeform arbitrarily deeply trainable in specifics, but they tend to collapse under 'this system i did not even know existed, has broken down', is my impression.
19:12 mircea_popescu how do you discern if you're measuring the fermion's flavour rather than the tool's flavour ?
19:13 mircea_popescu there's no way known to measure individual particles, they use particle interaction, yes ?
19:13 asciilifeform i am not equipped to discern. all i got, is what's visible from my perch thus far.
19:13 mircea_popescu if you don't watch at least two of them interact, then what can you say.

19:15 mircea_popescu ~50ms or so.
19:15 mircea_popescu neh.
19:15 mircea_popescu i never taught anyone how to drive, i don't even drive myself.
19:16 asciilifeform prolly bad example, nao that i think of it, pretty much any multidecade driver, incl. asciilifeform , would've handled the eggog correctly, in 50ms ( allowing for length of his legs )
19:17 mircea_popescu but i thought the argument was as to difference, rather than "any driver"
19:17 mircea_popescu also, she's a) too young to have multi decade driven and b) only recently allowed to drive at all anyway. so...
19:18 asciilifeform could then be proverbial 'stopped clock shows right time', then. i've nfi.
19:18 mircea_popescu could be that women are actually better drivers, if not fucked in the head by idiot mother/bf combo.
19:18 asciilifeform could be. if only because shorter legs, even.
19:19 mircea_popescu she's taller than you.

19:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know there's a quote for this, and it goes like "Just because females could endure anything does not mean they should is my view I suppose"

19:30 asciilifeform re drivers and their long legs : su mil establishment did various tests, and reportedly concluded that chix would make ideal pilots -- take moar g's, typically better reaction, can work under outrageous o2 deprivation, etc. but they did not go so far as to start recruiting'em en masse. the americans, however... did. many great feats of pilotage nao ?
19:30 asciilifeform so far all i know is re the tailhook thread.
