anyway for our terminal&cmdline needs". this is utterly false, they'd have been clucking at GUI interfaces exactly like the medical profession / barristas everywhere,
and been thankful when .jar finally rolled around.

mp_en_viaje: but it makes perfect sense to make them same unit,
and make multiples of the complete unit if need be for reliability. it makes anti-sense to create "across-box" db edges,
and try
and maintain the nonsense army of unlilely units that don't work separately
anyway mp_en_viaje:
anyway, in my country you can just take the money
and leave.
diana_coman: I still need to run tests
and timings re "fast" but as a principle, it's not the first requirement (rsa is not for speed
anyway)

and ftr I have no idea why did the other bots go for lisp
anyway, did I miss somewhere the rationale for it?
mircea_popescu:
anyway, re city hall : it's a collection of platitudes, like any usian "deep" / "philosophical" movie. but it's a collection of ~well chosen~ platitudes, like the better such are,
and in it incidentally pacino explains the problem with the dealmaking model :

and ftr I have no idea why did the other bots go for lisp
anyway, did I miss somewhere the rationale for it?
diana_coman: yes, my current understanding is exactly that - it's a stink
anyway and unavoidably so might as well use python, at least it's quick
and relatively clear
diana_coman:

diana_coman:
and I find out I didn't miss at all not using python for years; onth no idea what else would be better for such a task since it can't be really clean
anyway mp_en_viaje: but
anyway, re the kiev : it is REALLY GREAT to sit down in nice restaurant, order soup & fillet mignon
and then leisurely coffee starting at... 3 in the morning.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-22 20:12 mp_en_viaje: lobbes, you'll live.
anyway, get that thing published so others can patch on it
and thus lighten your own workload!

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: diana_coman,
anyway, you can't possibly spend your life supporting random dorky platform. get a script to enumerate users
and hi them automatically, or somesuch.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, re sticks : no sticks necessary, even vaguely. sane people do the look
and nod thing, like argentine tango used to work (century ago, when they still had it).
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, there's worse fates than owning a bit of land here
and there.
diana_coman: it's a shame the child is only 6 as otherwise he's
anyway coming home straight to check that I didn't "do anything with the computer parts" while he was away;
and I have yet to see any of his play-mates that want to leave our house when time is up, lol.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. my point here is : attrition already happened 80% of the way. the difference between frenchgirl i recall from 1992
and frenchgirl i perceive in 2019 is staggering.
mircea_popescu: the average girly that a) looks like anything you'd fuck
and b) isn't already outright working the streets has never in her life had in her hand, as discretionary funds, the cost of a decent meal. this is europe, EXACTLY like africa. minus the infrastructure, they're exactly the same place. exactly the same people
anyway.
mp_en_viaje: after that, things will snap into meaning as time goes by
and you happen to read things, which is exactly what a local intelectual (or however you'd call the cultural dominant class) does
anyway.
mp_en_viaje: bvt, so what's your idea going forward
anyway ? are you basically going to be doing some ffa as you fiat overlod permit now
and again, so by the end of 2019 you can look at having completed chapter 22 or somesuch,
and that'll have been it ?
mp_en_viaje: what all is going on there,
anyway ? i mean, if you'll need to (or for that matter, factually engage in) multi-week stone cold absences in the future, let's talk about it
and take measures prospectively
mircea_popescu:
anyway, whatever, i'm not gonna debug shaders now. muh kb-wotn is broken
and that's that.
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, it ~was~ a thing, in the sense poker was a thing, whereby you could meet > a few dozen quite pleasant such folk in the respective haunts, from florida to just about eastern colombia etc,
and then on the other side, mostly south of france, italy, greek islands etc.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, mayo chick's totally worth a skipread, in the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-02#1916737 sense. " We can put together so potent an arsenal for unearthing a given error that when we fail to find it we have excellent grounds for concluding that the error is absent."
and so on
and on
and forever .
☝︎ diana_coman: that much is true
and partially why the old houses are "better" - because at least less mchouse in principle, at least along the lines that it's
anyway picked as "the best of old houses since the worst are
anyway not even standing anymore"
a111: 2015-03-25 <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now.
Anyway the IP I'm on now is one of a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP,
and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn't know you were filtering.
mircea_popescu: the logic behind
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-01#1916530 if it wasn't self obvious : secure box
and gaming box are exactly opposite design constraints. computer games (as a distinct
and opposite category to eulora) are by definition code that'll run on your box without your having run it. if you're going to do that
ANYWAY, might as well save your time.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: what's the idea
anyway, that i'm going to scour earth to find some net dork that sad the unkind about my slaves ? cuz what, i give a fuck ?
and what, if i give a fuck it'll be protonmail
and 10bux/year vps that's gonna prevent me ?
spyked:
and I guess I'd prefer starting from code already battle-tested by L1 (in the form of a tarball + ksum?) rather than shithub,
and turning _that_ into a genesis. although I suspect I'll have to dig deeper into the heathenpits of git commits
anyway.
diana_coman: might add also, since it's perhaps not obvious: there is no exact "repeat request" as such because
anyway, how could that be (counter of messages at the very least is different!) but more importantly, every time Requester asks the server for something, it simply asks about as many pending things as it can, there is no "oh, I asked about those
and not yet here so let's ask exactly those again"
diana_coman: the idea here being that well, if the caller still wants that stuff
and it's not there, they will just request it again
anyway so it gets again into the queue
and at some point it will make it into a message
a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:54 diana_coman: if that armor of the stars is requested once then it's wanted *
anyway* so what's the point in not tracking it where the request is assembled
and instead having it tracked through repeated requests; after all this "oh, still not have it" is
anyway still a look "is it in the cache now?" just that it's pushed higher up
a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:41 diana_coman:
anyway, if it shouldn't even retry the correct way to put it is that it doesn't *care* at all about the result; i.e. it sends the request, it goes to sleep for timeout interval
and then when it wakes up it simply makes
and sends the next request, without any care in the world re anything

☟︎ diana_coman: that makes perfect sense
and is pretty much what I'd have expected; hence the surprise earlier when it apparently refused the title
and insisted it was "";
anyway, if I run into it/something else again I'll document it better on the spot I guess.
mp_en_viaje: well
anyway, regardless of implementation, the design idea there is that article title always has a ready gensym in the shape of the numeric id of the table entry, which is unique
and always known
and therefore should be the fallback default.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the reflection's particularly amusing : 12 yo girl goes "hmm... i have this thing between my legs... wtf is it ?! seems pretty fucking weird... actually, this shit's scary holy shit" ; 16 yo boy goes "omfg, girls are so fucking great
and bestest...hmm...
and EVEN THEM in their divine perfection are still affraid of cunt ?! THAT THING IS MONSTROUS!!!!".
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, kid picks one, gets better at it, keeps picking it again
and again
and there you go, "personality"
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 13:09 diana_coman:
anyway, since I'm not going to jump through those silly hooks now, I'll leave it here: you can message deedbot/any user privately directly, you don't need to join some channel first;
and re newcomers, it's usually safer for themselves to join one of the lords' channels first, really (e.g. #asciilifeform, #trinque, #eulora)

and anyway, what sort of job/where are you looking for one?
☟︎ mp_en_viaje:
anyway, i dunno imperial "platforms" have much utility beyond this derivative comedy value, of making a laughingstock of the empire
and it's inept movements.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, here's a consultancy i'm willing to hire you for : find some place that a) doesn't suck
and b) offers a good price to advertise trilema on. large venues only ; none of the pompous bullshit. bulk adult traffic would do fine for instance, maybe talk to the juicyads dorks.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, to belabour the point : there is immense value in having low barriers. part of why trilema is so great is all the time i put into making it very easy for myself to write on/for it.
and my life in general is very finely tuned by this principle.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, 100% borderline sleeve priceless cuntlets
and their typical cultural
and civilisational environs.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, did we ALSO cap ram at ddr2
and i missed the memo ?!
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-13#1913111 <-- in ro it's mostly stupidity, the thing's publicly subsidized
anyway. the way local orcs in bucharest circumvent the member-only thing is by not paying for it, even tho it's about a quarter $ per trip. then when the dumbass "controlori" arrive, they play dumb
and complain that "nothing ever changes in this country", which sets other frustrated travelers (who, of
☝︎ mp_en_viaje:
anyway, to me it was very amusing because, on one hand, "hey nicoleci , where in chicago do i hire lawyer like this"
and on the other hand, HOLY SHIT, it's not just computer programmer who goes to turn down volume
and is there for two days rewriting the os.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, the irony -- sick of istanbul greeks, romanians decided to mail order from germany. but because too smart for their own good,
and possessed of a completely unwarranted pride, came up with idea to make rule that king sons to be raised as romanians.
diana_coman:
and I'm quite sure it also ignores them down the line
anyway i.e. whatever you tick or not tick, it still does the same thing
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, whole fuckin thing's an exercise in unwinding, uprooting
and destroying automatisms, "slavery => human rights" is not substantially different from "party -> votes" or "party name => democratic" or "party programme => we'd like all to be well" etc.
diana_coman: eh, people are quite terrible at estimating
anyway and when it's plain guesstimate esp so.
diana_coman:
and a sig on a patch to my mind can't
anyway be in isolation like that, "just this patch here is fine but I have no idea of what is being patched"

☝︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: but in fact, i suspect, the solution came rather from the other direction : since they have nothing to say
and nobody to say it to
anyway, they've started only saying those things for which the technology works admirably well. wooden tongue v2.0.
mp_en_viaje: if experience's any guide, 99% of linux userland is not useful for any purpose ; of which remaining 1% 99% has to be rewritten
anyway as the extant item is so fucking terribly designed
and worse implemented as to cost literally as much as it produces ; of the reminder 1% i can at the present time think of very few examples.

and before mp asks, yes it's combo of manual typewriter
and ink pen,
and no it won't in a million years ocr, other than by meat (
and is largely schematics / waveforms
anyway )
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, to sum up this thread before it runs away from us : i expect that if you design your own gpu,
and we compare it (through what, who knows, maybe by then phf comes up with a magical differ that woerks on circuit designs) to the top of the range efficiency gpus (~100% of them nvidia products, tho not 100% of the nvidia products) you'll discover they're very similar.

and so on.

☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform: there was nowhere not even for 1 sec any idea of "oh noez, redo drawings", just in case it's not clear; the start is still the algebra
anyway and that's the correct way of thinking about it to my mind, not any convention left or right (
and in this sense, if anything, I'd rather change the shift_left/shift_right for all their being ancient
and all that).
mp_en_viaje: but
anyway, if your per-capita budget is 2-3k, which is luxuriously generous in my experience, half a dozen actives means you can afford to rent whatever the fuck,
and adding a 7th will positively not show in the grocery weeklies.
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, which is deeply fucking ridiculous, for one thing he's away from cheeseland
anyway,
and for the other cheeses transport. except the fresh stuff, of course-- i bought some urda you couldn't believe.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, my point is -- if you have multiple cars, it PAYS to have a ditch installed in garage, within the year, heck within 6 months you'll pay for it from reduced maintenance bills.
and so following.
diana_coman: it's not hard to have a lot of luggage, sure; though I never really regretted having smaller luggage as it were (
and I almost always find it too big, too much
anyway!)
phf: expressing yourself precisely
and communicating clearly. another problem is that you yourself start thinking in shortcuts.
and to what end? like take your svg comment, what's it supposed to accomplish? "oh, how interesting".
anyway, please don't do it here.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, hope you get well soon!
and no, don't get to delirium (or even serious shivers as that's likely to come first
anyway)
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, thing is, not like the morons are using the pampas for anything else
anyway. but no, why use bsas as a port
and go inland. let's all move into "capital"
and eat each other's farts.
mp_en_viaje: but
anyway, day 1, i'm walking through subway, buy a pretzel at random stand. i take one bite
and recall girl off escalator. "taste this!"
mp_en_viaje:
and you know, corp with three shareholders still corp
anyway.
and so on.
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, to get back to the typographical discussion more substantially : there's an important difference between
natural and synthetic language at work.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, back to it : the large rocks are one thing, but if you drive over macadam say (which is not inconceivable here,
and yes on a grade with hairpins, whynot) there's very much a
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1735165 sorta affair : for any arbitrary energy, you will get X many rocks per hour, or mile.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (they're prolly trying to get into costa rica illegally, as nobody here can distinguiush nicas
and mexicans. but
anyway)
diana_coman: hm, the end there got clipped; I meant: I'll keep both domains
and have redirects in place so all links with either domain work
anyway.
mod6: But with a lack of serious time
and focus, it's difficult to get there, right now
anyway. I don't want to get neg-rated if think continue the same way for me this year.
hanbot:
anyway fwiw i dun use
and see no use for the wysiwyg editor thingamajig otherwise.
mircea_popescu: that's not even it. whole bunch of tards, "oh, this bottle of champagne is great, $5000". as a factual matter no bottle of fizzy is genuinely worth that much. not anything you'd drink,
anyway. what';s worse, if i pour that
and random bottom shelf stuff they couldn't tell them apart. half the time can't tell bicarb fizz apart.
mircea_popescu:

and why dual court-
and-manor function of lord.
and so on.
☟︎ diana_coman: but
anyway, to wind up the thread, the idea seems to be that "yes, it inevitably sucked
and moreover it failed on both directions
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-13#1902282 but nevertheless it was the best thing available at the time;
and ftr having studied at polytechnica university may perhaps (no idea) be better than mit at that time (not now, then, hence no idea) but it wasn't much study, no.
☝︎ diana_coman: I haven't really followed in ages what democratic this
and that is going on in there but I doubt there's anyone to ask
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, back to suleyman -- it is ~conceivable~,
and definitely an excellent premise for an umberto eco-like novel, that suleyman gave up his harem to try
and produce a harem generator that didn't suck.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-12#1901514 -> I'm for moving; the only reason for staying was being busy with tending to other fires that burnt worse but freenode seems to be burning worse
and worse lately
anyway; a multi-network bridge sounds best in my opinion but I don't really know how much work needs to be put in to get that.
☝︎ diana_coman: I can give it unlimit stack
anyway and see what happens, sure
mircea_popescu:
anyway, they'd prolly be closer to being done, so you wouldn't find yourself in the position of "no logger for pizarro", except they got sent to do auction bot fixes
and gutenberg mirror respectively, if you recall.
