mircea_popescu: so what's the point, casual usage of the word sin is triggering ?

mircea_popescu: i can kinda see it in their eyes of the mind.

mircea_popescu: anyways, contrary to the purportings and pretences traditionally required by their culture, i do kinda suspect ye pantsuit gets pretty well overwhelmed in this here copacetic copse of #trilema

mircea_popescu: i guess they'll have their own cristian topescu. it's unavoidable.

mircea_popescu: anyways, ff they had known they might have found a world of joy... but as they lived on the midnight side of the mountain...

mircea_popescu: but i hope that she's regarding her death with the requisite superior detachement, feigned as it may be. "well... that didn't whelm!"

mircea_popescu: diana_coman, but she died BY HERSELF, among 50 dogs, and nobody found her for a week. none of those thousands of facebook friends.

mircea_popescu: rade, as part of being independent liberated woman etc -- as a colt she wished something or the other re "oualelor de paste" which is an impossible construction derived off romanian ou ie egg by someone who doesn't understand how difficult genitives form. so she was celebrated for an april in song and lulz

mircea_popescu: incidentally, cristina topescu died recently, as in, over xmas (this was the daughter of just such a wonder, the ONLY romanian sports commenter, one cristian topescu. socialist romania had one of everything, you knew what panties the girl has on before looking and you knew who was gonna narrate the game on the radio while you're looking). the chick was only famous for once on tv -- because hey, she followed the famlby t

mircea_popescu: but then again i suppose that's what an expert polyglot is all about : one who speaks fifty languages in one, by inventing an imaginary "whelm" and perhaps typesetting everything in japanese.

mircea_popescu: at least the original soviets had the werewithal to laugh at it on their own power, didn't need foreign polyglots to "not whelm" by pointing and laughing.

mircea_popescu: the only problem is the very lulzy soviet-style gerontocracy involved. i mean, they've nobody but 90yos left to "leadership" them, and if they need somebody to star in a tv production it's gonna be a dude born in the 50s ?! still, today as in 1970, as in 1980, as in forever, the heroes of socialist labour are the same exact physical items ?

mircea_popescu: fry and laurie was this long running british tv show made to fill the hole left by monty python. it was rabidly socialist to an utterly offensive degree, and made the popularity of both faggots involved (among the uk bernie sandals crowd)

mircea_popescu: anyway, at least i found out there's nothing on tv without having to buy one.

mircea_popescu: yes, but this situation was arrived at with a lot of posturing and labeling and such nonsense.

mircea_popescu: wtf, they've run out, next big thing on tv is going to be... mr bean.

mircea_popescu: o god, this is the funniest thing i heard all day.

mircea_popescu: there's this retard who became "hot" because he was in some medical drama

mircea_popescu: jfw, is this the clooney vehicle ?

mircea_popescu: no dood, they're just fucking stupid. i watch 1970s adriano celentano made-for-tv movies recently tho, so it's pretty much the same thing.

mircea_popescu: i'd ask what's house md, but you've such a terrible record answering these.

mircea_popescu: i keep slavegirls dood, wth are you talking about.

mircea_popescu: i don't particularly care if you put a "you're beautiful today" motd in your libc. but i also can't use such a libc, so i'll have to fork it if i want to use it. which is the whole point here.

mircea_popescu: the latter tend to want to take crap out, the former tend to want to put crap in.

mircea_popescu: did you ever do any work in an actually secure environment ? because there's a difference of perspective, you realise, between hipster doofuses trying to impress imaginary girlfriends with their code-inclusiveness, and people who write systems that do not lose other people's money.

mircea_popescu: you'll look up "foutez" and "camp" and decide what, "fuck me the field" is a french idiom ?

mircea_popescu: tecuane, your notion of what words mean is inadequate. you can't "look up a word" in this sense, because natural languages do not admit strict equivalency.

mircea_popescu: a polyglot is someone who speaks multiple languages. this state doesn't take the "expert" tag.

mircea_popescu: but, be that as it may, "popularity", especially as perceived by people not instrumented to measure anything, is no kind of basis for reason.

mircea_popescu: well yeah, that's the sort of sentiment that's necessarily mutual.

mircea_popescu: i suspect you might have been somewhat isolated for a few years, but i have no way to answer your "in what universe" q, for lack of an indexing mechanism. in not-yours ?

mircea_popescu: diana_coman, i thought you were just a biorobot.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman, can tell you some joys of oo-idiocy and the sorta lulz it drives.

mircea_popescu: it was a worse fucking idea than "object oriented", and it's high time it got marked as such and put in the dustbin where it belongs.

mircea_popescu: in fact, i would say unicode is the poster child for what broken code even means.

mircea_popescu: at no point in its short, tortured existence has unicode worked fine

mircea_popescu: some people wanan make their imaginary race about using square wheels, that's their fucking problem.

mircea_popescu: everyting can seem so, including supporting the japanese nonsense.

mircea_popescu: is it a term of art ?

mircea_popescu: aite, so you two carry on in pm, i have no objection.

mircea_popescu: that's not exactly what's jhappening lol. the republic's an actual thing, distinct from i.

mircea_popescu: well, he voiced you, so i guess that's what he meant.

mircea_popescu: this means private libcs, there's a coupla flavours.

mircea_popescu: tecuane, the republic is currently maintaining static linked os, yes.

mircea_popescu: tecuane, i suppose you read my pov re the issue you're discussing. there's a log : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-02-18#1958186

mircea_popescu: tecuane, the problem with supporting non-alphabet approaches to an alphabet is that you get the worst of both worlds.

mircea_popescu: ll be personally impacted by not being able to represent the "japanese current era" -- something i'm apparently able to represent right now, without using unicode for it (so perhaps, i'm saying, the problem is in the schmuck in question's own head). that'd be it really, do your best under the constraints as they are."

mircea_popescu: anyway, your statement is i guess something along the lines of "look, good fellows, your theory as to how users matter is not an argument in the direction you wish to construe it, but exactly opposite. the republic specifically does not want there to be unicode support. if you implement it, that means the republic will fork and maintain your thing pre-implementation. if you do not implement it, some schmuck somewhere wi

mircea_popescu: jfw, what chan is this anyways ?

mircea_popescu: how is the "no one user is more important than another" nonsense an argument for their position ? user q wants y, user w wants there not to be y, "no one user is more important than another" =necessarily> no y.
