jurov: i see, you're employed *and* searching
asciilifeform: i am posting straight from $rupturefarms as before.
asciilifeform: jurov: what makes you think i can afford to 'not earn much for few months' ?
jurov: asciilifeform: i was some time on freelancer.com picking nuggets that indians won't do (like adding mysql plugin in C, or fixing old perl ERP) and I wasn't earning much for few months, and then one of the people approached me with much bigger and $better$ project.
asciilifeform: (or, alternatively, i'm not 1333333337 enough by a long shot to know where to find it)
asciilifeform: 11:02 <+jurov> but then, why even have a job at all and not freelance? << because there is ~0 demand for what i do among folks who employ freelancers ?
asciilifeform: at any rate, i can't do anything useful while in a moving vehicle, tried many times over whole life
jurov: or i misunderstood?
asciilifeform: and how do coinz enter into this, in so far as i'm concerned those are a nonrenewable resource that i carefully hoard, i don't get paid in'em
asciilifeform: i don't like being driven any more than driving
asciilifeform: for instance, i do 3+ hrs of UNPAID idiocy every day, just sitting in the motherfucking car.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-11#1450022 << much simpler than this. thought i suppose mircea_popescu is enjoying being deliberately thick. ☝︎
shinohai: I see your balcony blowjob and raise you blindfold bj: https://i.imgur.com/fgU1xh1.webm
davout: BingoBoingo: I is indeed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think i'ma go for jimki.
mircea_popescu: ering ; the train station had a monstrous clock whose face had the time in both roman numerals (I to XII, except for IV which is for some reason marked as IIII) as well as arabic (13 to 24). etc.
phf: yeah, i'm wondering if there even exists a ru equivalent concept
phf: i think soccer moms (and not too young strippers apparently) were going for that annie lennox look
phf: i mean they just discovered bowie
mircea_popescu: that may be the worst stripper act i ever saw and wtf is with the lesbo hair.
mircea_popescu: this is totally how i'd run a softwareho sweatshop if i were running one.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 04:47 phf: there's nothing that makes an open office like that an inherently bad idea. i'm sure before it turned into a nasty cost saving fad, a group of people could assemble for a period of time and in such a space so as to successfully deliver. it just that the model now stands for shit jobs, because that's the only jobs easily accessible in failing economies. a shit job is not going to be made better by a wfh
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 04:26 gernika: I regularly meet people who *just* moved here and are working on a kickstarter.

adlai: or am i doing it rong
adlai: too bad i'm such a liar!
adlai: gernika: that's just how autodesk was, but it was a pretty cool office. i'd probably kill a family member (no-nuke-o) to work there again.
adlai: asciilifeform: as i just said (to my dad!), "every time i open my mouth, i add-a-lie to the world"
gernika: I regularly meet people who *just* moved here and are working on a kickstarter. ☟︎
gernika: aha phf I meant I wouldn't recommend working in san francisco
asciilifeform: but i dun need a flat in a motherfucking tower with no dishwasher for 5k/mo, for anything.
asciilifeform: i turned down a bunch of work from that city
gernika: I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
asciilifeform: and not sure i want to
asciilifeform: i've also never set foot in san francisco
gernika: that said, I no longer have to put up with the absurdity of doing that same work in an open office.
gernika: asciilifeform: I have telecommuted since 2013 - mostly for friends doing work that tends to trigger teeth kicking behavior, however.
asciilifeform: at this point i would do pretty much anything so long as it pays the bills and is 100% tele
mod6: in oct the place i was at which was wfh pretty much 90% of the time went under. found a life-raft at the current place.
mod6: i've got it figured out dude.
mod6: asciilifeform: ya, cool. i need one too - I miss wfh everyday. hard commuting every damn day.
BingoBoingo: phf: I'm pretty sure if someone attempts that an avatar of physics becomes incarnate, personally finds the person doing that and delivers a swift kick in the crotch.
mircea_popescu: omfg i had forgotten that one. fresh round of lolz.
adlai: bitch, i am the one who posts
deedbot: adlai rated phf 2 << blogged the best lisp bitcoind i've seen yet
adlai: $rate phf 2 blogged the best lisp bitcoind i've seen yet
asciilifeform: i'm mostly convinced at this point that any serious attempt at sanity will be a similar enough thing to ada that it will trigger all of the same allergies in same folks.
asciilifeform: still hoping that i overlooked something.
asciilifeform: but i know that the ~other~ available systems are not.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449850 << i am reading the link and cannot at all tell wtf the co did..! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-04-10 19:55 ben_vulpes: i am having a hard time with a republican selection of a tool written after i was born
mircea_popescu: i wonder what'd happen if we crossed in a thousand agars a thousand cascadianhacker blogs with a thousand explo.yt blogs.
mircea_popescu: i opted not to name already, so w/e, no importanto.
ben_vulpes: not that nicks mean anything i know i know
mircea_popescu: i keep getting pms from randos who got banned in b-a.
ben_vulpes: i am having a hard time with a republican selection of a tool written after i was born ☟︎
shinohai: Someone offered me a few bits to install it on a server for them and I declined.
ben_vulpes: i started reading through it a year and a half ago when i committed to excising appleware from the house
shinohai: agreed, that's why I lol'd
asciilifeform: 'I created a proof of concept of this attack. This isn't enough to launch a real attack, because an attacker only has 16 bytes of DOS assembler code, which is very little. For a real attack ... ' << l0l! fella apparently doesn't know that microshit PE format has a (i shit thee not) ~dedicated field~ for 'load exe from url and execute'
mircea_popescu: i have nfi!
mircea_popescu: i guess it all depends, neh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ~as if~ the most damaging thing to be lifted by attacker were picture of your face or arse ! << this is the case for about half the humans i physically interact with. think about that.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many peeps haven't ever loaded teh logs on a phone.
asciilifeform: (why? when i have the whole thing scrolling into eternity)
asciilifeform: generally i don't even ~use~ the www logz when on an actual computer
phf: asciilifeform: in a vaguely related note the way i've been reading is to click on the entry that i read last (whether it's last line or wherever in the logs) and then do refresh, which extends the log to new state, but keeps my context, something worth trying
mircea_popescu: better than i managed in ro, ftm.
mircea_popescu: check me out, i actually made a proper fucking english verse to translate greek!
a111: Logged on 2016-04-10 15:51 mircea_popescu: also, who was doing what so i can see the log line read in chat ? this is starting to drive me nuts. trinque ? phf ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it has ~nothing with thinking folks. i have seen this personally. the avenue is as such : thinking children are deliberately and ellaborately castrated by certain societies to become socially inept. the first thing that goes when socially inept is allaloisi menontes, as in http://trilema.com/2009/etimologia-democratiei/#selection-77.26-77.44
phf: i have a reverse osmosis machine that i carry from apartment to apartment, i then drill holes in granite countertops and such. still waiting for somebody to deduct the holes out of my security deposit..
mircea_popescu: ("what do you mean it doesn't function ? yeah i didn't do anything useful with it since june last year, but I FUCKED WITH IT SIX HOURS EACH DAY SINCE!!11". )
phf: mircea_popescu: can i get autovoice for a111?
mircea_popescu: also, who was doing what so i can see the log line read in chat ? this is starting to drive me nuts. trinque ? phf ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i suspect that almost all cases will be misspellings
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but i never had the slightest desire to own one , esp. to use for intended purpose << makes two^H^H^H all of us.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so i suppose in the "blogs that must be", we have "adlai - views from inside the insane asylum" and "phf - they have philosophy in russia even!"
asciilifeform: microphone, i can see.
asciilifeform: if we turn up a bucket of cheap crays somewhere, i will port it to cray..
asciilifeform: and yes, i ported trb to arm. as wartime wunderwaffen (which went nowhere.)
asciilifeform: and i do not believe this to be in any reasonable sense a work of chance.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449684 << finally read this. i suppose this is not a bad time to remind folks of the 'arm' cpu being a lothesome piece of shit that i have 0 desire to use for anything if it can be avoided ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <jurov> they explicitly point out it's overcomplicated and has thus big attack surface. so, no sane walletotron that way. << I really don't mean keeping much in the way of hardware. Just a plastic case that arouses a wildly different kind of suspicion.
asciilifeform: and why is the plastic case useful, i dun get it
asciilifeform: but i never had the slightest desire to own one , esp. to use for intended purpose
asciilifeform: admittedly i find some of he '80s-'90s game machines interesting from a systems perspective, they had minimalistic iron and ran 'os-less' long into the era when x86 languished under microshit
asciilifeform: jurov: ty for summary, now i can snore again, i never did and never will give a flying fuck re game consoles
adlai: asciilifeform: "I'm gonna walk right out the front door" (tm)
asciilifeform: adlai: finally out, i take it? escaped?
phf: i don't have a eulora build on this machine
mircea_popescu: hey phf, can i get you to log into eulora for an hour ? i need a noob to do a bouq click to see what comes out.
joecool: I see, thank you
asciilifeform: ah yes i recall this!
asciilifeform: ah i was thinking of aesop's
mircea_popescu: i don't let the enemy inform my decisions by his behaviour this explicitly. you ever read the fox and bear fable ?
asciilifeform: re the microcode thing, i can picture mircea_popescu going on a bank heist, and, coming up against a massive safe, 'let's not bother with the dynamite, fellas, this thing surely is full of used condoms'
mircea_popescu: i dun follow.
asciilifeform: or, he has a pie, and i do not, enemies.
asciilifeform: and i see this as proper, because scheming against a ~stupid~ enemy is largely a waste of time, because how to know ~exactly how stupid~ he is ?
