00:59 hanbot t and a by now insanely oversaturated market, i can't imagine anything less than hundreds of hours/week is going to save it. i don't have the hours to make it my sole concern, but i do have some to help out. i think it'd be a shame to kinda decoupage some tasks here and there to a floundering ship. as much as i'd like to see it sail, seems obvious to me that here and there won't cut it at all.
00:59 mod6 jurov: lobbes has it, I think an auction is the way to go here.
01:02 mod6 hanbot: Thanks for your thoughful response.

01:18 mircea_popescu it's certainly true my hope lo so many years ago was that the foundation will provide the basic material (people, expertise, history, and so on) upon which to construct these days a republican diplomatic service ; rather than a library.

13:24 diana_coman the fact that I have to manually and arbitrarily split strings that in fact are of any use only un-splitted
13:26 diana_coman onth I suppose that the 80cols rule either is or isn't, so it should apply even to strings that make no sense split, a bit of cutting to fit the bed style

18:05 a111 Logged on 2018-11-04 18:32 diana_coman: it still seems at best silly to manually split strings that one would than have to merge if they want to use as such somewhere else
18:05 asciilifeform worx same as the multiline notation in c
18:07 asciilifeform i hate to bring back ancient thread re 'how many columns in terminal', but you ~must~ have a finite width, or cannot write even basic thing like vtron without idjit heapism. and i'm heavily biased to 'make'em 80' , that's how wide my terminal and printers are.
18:07 asciilifeform nobody's terminal, afaik, is 980 wide.
18:08 asciilifeform ( the width of the constants pictured in http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/04/smg-comms-chapter-6-packing-and-unpacking-rsa/#selection-121.192-121.4240 )
18:08 asciilifeform i'm a little surprised the vtron even swallowed it.
18:10 mircea_popescu diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file then. though he prolly wants the ~config~ file to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because there's no such thing as a terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my text in a way that's aware of his dumb terminal. and he thinks this acceptable, somehow, that at the time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read.
18:10 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869251 << sounds grim, but afaik Mocky not tried the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869171 gambit yet

18:10 a111 Logged on 2018-11-03 22:38 mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with their minister of technology, industry, or whatever the fuck, explain to the secretarial overseer you end up seeing that the republic is in principle willing to do some tech transfer help them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set the bozo bit on the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending to be a country ?
18:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: how wide is your terminal ?
18:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform srsly now, 80cols is a terminal setting. text may not have line breaks for any reason other than new paragraph.
18:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform as wide as i fucking feel like.
18:11 asciilifeform mircea_popescu like to horizontal-scroll ?
18:11 asciilifeform or he actually has one of those road-sign shaped displays, or which
18:12 asciilifeform ( i actually use these. but they're turned on their side, so i can put moar-proggy into'em, rather than longer-line )
18:13 mircea_popescu i feel about "this string has spurious /n inserted in random places" about the same way you feel about FG getting random control bits pissed into the stream by "helpful" wrappers.
18:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: keep in mind that it ain't 'text', tho, it's a proggy, the line is a semantic unit
18:13 mircea_popescu IF you can't configure your termina, either get a better one or understand you're at fault for your own pain.
18:13 asciilifeform and to write e.g. vtron, you gotta pick a max length in advance
18:13 mircea_popescu the line as a semantic unit is as long as it fucking is, and the terminal deals with it.
18:14 mircea_popescu it dun ask the author to deal with it for him.
18:14 mircea_popescu and i know no reason vtron must have "max line length picked in advance" either.
18:14 asciilifeform it will, unless you use heapistic diff
18:14 mircea_popescu in any case i don't want control bits spuriously pissed into the stream. what next, <em> ?
18:15 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's a legacy definition of "text" type in eulora comms protocol specifically for this conversation.
18:15 mircea_popescu "first section is 1 byte long, encodes length of 2nd section ; 2nd section encodes length of payload".
18:15 asciilifeform line breaks to fit on civilized terminals & printers aint spurious. i suspect that we're doomed to disagree.
18:16 asciilifeform i dun have infinitely-sized chairs at my house either, even though 'arse can be any width!11'
18:16 asciilifeform nor barn doors
18:16 mircea_popescu hey. i won't mandate her she write long lines, if she manages in 80 cols all the better. but i will mandate she dun do " & " bullshit.
18:16 mircea_popescu so not only we agree to disagree -- but there's gonna be long lines in there cuz that's how long a line is.
18:17 asciilifeform they're already in, e.g., trb. but was thinking, perhaps folx will eventually stop, cuz it's a headache and to fix it is not in any sense expensive imho.
18:17 asciilifeform ( there's 200+ col. lines in trb )
18:17 mircea_popescu "stop" means to take "text" and turn it into "te<controlchars>xt" and that's so fucking stupid...
18:18 mircea_popescu srsly now, move on to an adult terminal that can flow the semantic unit for your needs.
18:18 asciilifeform ideally sexprs. but maybe that's next decade.
18:18 mircea_popescu and if emacs can't do this, emacs is plain and unadulterated garbage is all.
18:18 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i use printers, and aint about to stop, it's part of my code-eating workflow.
18:18 mircea_popescu so printers can't flow now ?
18:18 asciilifeform and 'fits in head' demands fit-in-page-preserving-indentation.
18:18 mircea_popescu my fucking 24 dot matrix tractor unit could flow. what.
18:18 asciilifeform preserving indentation !
18:19 mircea_popescu sounds like you're in the market for a printer driver that doesn't suck.
18:19 asciilifeform printer driver dun do this.
18:19 asciilifeform not even my hand-sewn pretty printing liquishit, does this.
18:20 asciilifeform it's not doable without a transformer that's aware of the syntax. and doing it will destroy ability to refer to orig author's lines by number in conversation.
18:21 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764371 << see also prev thrd.
18:21 a111 Logged on 2018-01-04 23:45 phf: in a proper program 80 col is an indicator of s/n, density and all kinds of lateral properties, that can be communicated between professionals, because you can know ahead of time, what you're dealing with by shape, and have a rough estimate for the token count
18:21 mircea_popescu i don't see it'd destroy any such thing.
18:21 asciilifeform standard line len makes it possible to meaningfully discuss loc, among other things.
18:21 mircea_popescu but yes, i ask your terminal be aware of the syntax. it must be. because the alternative is having me be aware of your terminal -- and that ain't occurring.
18:22 mircea_popescu standard line length may not be shorter than common lines. which among other things will be rsa keys. so it'll be, willy nily, over 80.
18:22 asciilifeform mechanically-reflowed proggy suxx to read, i can tell that mircea_popescu spends ~0 time actually reading ( as in, go offline for whole day to read 1 proggy ) coad.
18:22 mircea_popescu there can be such a thing as a standard length, yes. but apparently it'll be 512 bytes+
18:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: diana_coman's are already 900+
18:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the fact all your terminals suck isn't an argument in this convo.
18:22 mircea_popescu fix them!
18:22 mircea_popescu it is not possible to fix the wrong end of this funnel.
18:23 asciilifeform say what's 'fix' then ? 1024 col display ?
18:23 hanbot why not just display it in 2pt and get a monocle, yeesh
18:23 mircea_popescu reflow you like ; or else wider lines ; or anything that works for you.
18:23 asciilifeform hanbot: apparently this is mircea_popescu's prescribed answer
18:23 asciilifeform reflow sucks.
18:23 mircea_popescu basically, any time you go "this string should contain control characters for my convenience" you are living in a state of sin, and should remedy.
18:24 asciilifeform ideally proggy would be distributed as a ast in sexpr, and we wouldn't have 'tabs & spaces' thread. but we aint there yet.
18:24 mircea_popescu but the only way to ever get there is if we run out of town this "let's mix data and markup" approach.
18:25 * mircea_popescu fucking hates hard line ends omfg.
18:25 asciilifeform this is new
18:25 asciilifeform mircea_popescu barfed at my 'let's forbid semantically meaningful newlines in vtronics' item, earlier.
18:25 asciilifeform ( recall, 'genetics'-style diff, that refers to actual byte positions )
18:26 mircea_popescu im sure i mentioned my script to s'\n\n%\r'g | s'\n% 'g | s'\r%\n'g many times before
18:26 asciilifeform lol i have this on by boxes, it goes by 'dos2unix' , standard util neh
18:26 asciilifeform *my
18:26 mircea_popescu it just gets rid of "80 col" or otherwise "preformatted" text in favour of line=paragraph sanity.
18:27 mircea_popescu fucking "lines". jesus.
18:27 asciilifeform then 'loc' is meaningless metric.
18:28 mircea_popescu yes.

18:57 asciilifeform who the fuck maintains that branch, i want to know, and on what !
18:57 asciilifeform ( 68k has, what, 24MB ? max addr space. to let 'modern' kernel eat 12-20 of these, is imho pretty 'rich' )
