Thu Sep 25 19:36:55 UTC 2014  <*>   asciilifeform was never obsessed with 'spec' - but does think that one must arrive at what question is being answered before attempt is meaningful

Thu Sep 25 19:36:01 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   doctors have been doing ok auditing the human body w/o any spec for a while now.

Tue Sep 23 03:27:12 UTC 2014  <ben_vulpes>   spec seems like formal term

Tue Sep 16 17:51:51 UTC 2014  <asciilifeform>   mircea_popescu: mac did not fit the cargo-cult spec - defined by ibm, naturally - of 'feeling businessy' - and therefore yes, did suffer from 'nice package.'

Sat Sep 13 14:54:38 UTC 2014  <RagnarDanneskjol>   its mp's spec, not mine. I dum

Sun Aug 31 02:17:56 UTC 2014  <assbot>   Logged on 27-07-2014 19:05:02; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in 2010 i concocted a variant of the test that could be carried out for approx. 50k USD, from scratch. schwartz answered that, in his estimation, the test would work to spec, but results would not be accepted by the field unless carried out on one of the two existing eotvos balances. one - adelberger's, one - chicom.

Sat Aug 30 03:28:05 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   justusranvier "code is the spec" means "the compiler we use is the spec" too.

Sat Aug 30 03:27:42 UTC 2014  <justusranvier>   Speaking of specs, davec found parts of bitcoind script validation that involved behavior undefined by the C++ spec, meaning it's theoritically possible to compile it with a non-gcc compiler and get two bitcoinds that will fork on a carefully-crafted transactions.

Sat Aug 30 03:25:43 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   what are they going to do, write out a spec then have the bitcoind horde pretend "it fails" ?

Sat Aug 30 03:25:11 UTC 2014  <asciilifeform>   plus continuing with 'the code is the spec' derpatron.

Sat Aug 30 01:41:50 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   we're not getting too far here, lemme write it out as a formal spec.

Fri Aug 29 21:25:30 UTC 2014  <jurov>   with caveat thet ETA for rigorous spec is Inf

Wed Aug 27 03:50:36 UTC 2014  <asciilifeform>   the only actual good thing about the alpha was that the spec fit in a thin paperback book.

Wed Aug 20 05:45:34 UTC 2014  <decimation>   asciilifeform: the datasheet artfully declines to provide any spec for timing accuracy - long or short term

Sat Aug 16 20:42:26 UTC 2014  <asciilifeform>   still boggling mind at the newest pgp hatchet job. why the idiocy? or rather, why was it not cushioned in perfectly logical criticism of the spec (crufty; mandates support for hideously weak algos; etc) ?

Sat Aug 16 20:42:04 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   and of course the spec is a gnarly pos. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon3 anywhere from 310 to 410 w per o.o

Thu Aug 14 01:57:23 UTC 2014  <RagnarDanneskjol>   mircea_popescu - sure, those guys are dime a dozen. I can find almost any spec you throw at me - the more detailed & complex the better. Its kind of nice cause I work in a female dominated industry (HR) so I tend to gravitate all the jobs noone else can fill

Mon Aug 11 00:26:44 UTC 2014  <mircea_popescu>   didja get to read the spec ?
