mircea_popescu: ( Framedragger and if you work on it, moving away from the "<name> " to the bolded-name-colon convention would also be very nice.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger how about adding a · in between timestamp and speaker, so that timestamp is still lined as now, but the dot is linked to make range ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in an attempt to fix/improve republican infrastructure, mircea_popescu discovered his head is broken.
mircea_popescu: am i the only one incidentally, who sees this separation ?
mircea_popescu: dude, so clicking and copying a link are semantically separate in my head but obviously the same thing to browser.
mircea_popescu: whereas my intention was to result in a new single line highlight. yes yes i see.
mircea_popescu: oooohhh i know wtf it was! see, what it was was this : you DID have it this way, but then i'd highlight one line or follow someone else's highlight, and i'd RIGHT CLICK another line, and this'd result in a range.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger may be my weird set-up, but in my memory your page never worked as described here ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah but typing-into-urlbar is distress signal.
mircea_popescu can;'t fucking believe we're stuck importing 1996 www and forking it ffs.
mircea_popescu: and if they click outside the range, go back to state 1
mircea_popescu: and i must be able to figure out the state by looking at the url, which is why POST is not better than GET but much, MUCH worse, and why it was pushed as part of "ssl", typical usg-tardism
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental idiocy of "responsive" "2.0" web, ajax etc : the fucking model is 1 page = 1 state. that's the only sane way to have state over stateless
http mircea_popescu: Framedragger no problem is you did it on the same page. add url-based state.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger but do it like that you know, nude url + click -> highlights that line ; highlighted line url + click -> highlights between the two. like a state machine based on url schema
mircea_popescu: turns out that his thing is actually very useful when quoting towards the periphery.
mircea_popescu: phf any idea on how to replicate Framedragger 's logger multiline selection thing without the hassle ? maybe something like "first click, highlights line ; second click, highlights area ; third click, highlights line within area" or such ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and the other thing : that entire "it is unclear whether people aiming to make an artificial friend have seriously considered the much cheaper, ordinary kind" which i can't fucking find in the log for some reason goes A LOT deeper than generally realised. it's not "oh, i'm not discussing ai so it's not about me". yes, IT IS about you. if the software you're contemplating aims to take fifty hours of engineer work to replace fi
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't need a fucking power button to recall i can turn off the box, i can type shutdown just fine.
mircea_popescu: this formalizes the problem with guis, "oh but mp, did you know you can italicize text ???" yes bitch, i fucking know about text italicizing. "no but maybe you forgot, here's a 60x60 pixel square on your screen shooting photons at your retina 60/60/24/7 so you remember". what the fuck am i supposed to be, a frog ? that my brain has no remanence, entirely powered off the visual field ?
mircea_popescu: sex, food, knowledge, anything. i'll pull and don't fucking dare push anything on me. ever.
mircea_popescu: and it's not ~just~ a horrible idea. it comes from a thorougly broken thought process. i'm not in fuckign school, to be informed via a push interface. i am an adult, i will pull for what i want. the only thing the world may do or should do is spread WHEN I SAY. and at no other point.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599268 << no. for the low low cost of adding a woman to sit next to the woman driving, i could have implemented this years ago. but honestly if the car came so equipped i'd fucking shoot the siri girl to fix the car. horrible fucking idea.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (these i used to buy like bitcoins in the early 2000s, possibly best car ever made.)
mircea_popescu: before that, s class, the nice 500 90s series, but then it went to shit.
mircea_popescu: course ytou can't get the nice w200s faces anymore i don't think. because fucking "progress"
mircea_popescu: mandatory cam in car eh ? stop dem darn kids fucking in there! and smoking too!
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether a bad plan, monkeys utterly unable to resist shiny
mircea_popescu: i said normative. ie, that derpy romcoms aren't using it as "the way".
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's an arrangement a lot more common than generally realised. and not just in the us - most underclass parties consist of hiring one whore for a platoon and fucking her among beer breaks, until daybreak. consequently most cheap whores are well used to "the party of men".
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski given the sardine living situation and the sad but true levels of machismo in the great swamp, it's a wonder gangbangs aren't the normative accuplation method.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc i was waiting for trinque to ok it.
mircea_popescu: but for some reason nobody seems to have an alt preference. such as for instance because they don't exist or i have nfi
mircea_popescu: and i see no problem with any other or only other services be used - which iirc i even said when bot spec for archival was drawn, that everyone making one should ideally use a diff service
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, item seems to work is the entire extent of the thing ; and i don't specifically know him to be a hitler crony, like i do specifically know archive.org to be a hitler crony.
mircea_popescu: right. anyway, to dispell the possible implication - it's not that i like secretly know whoever runs archive.is
mircea_popescu: o yeah, cuz i lifted the js for text selection from his site.
mircea_popescu: well i dun think anyone's a friend, including the baker. i've not yet geiger-countered the flour.
mircea_popescu: a cheap explanation would be for instance - that archive people hosted in same place, and left for same reason.
mircea_popescu: now - wut of all of this ? maybe it was the same guy, i guess, maybe there was a conspiracy to reboot the server, i guess, maybe etcetera. i'm unconvinced nor do i see it matters any.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: xing his code or going away ; e) so butthurt was alf over his code being no good in some particular and not terribly relevant way, he decided to go away. this caused phuctor to be offline for about a year. f) at some later point, getting a machine in the same datacenter if memory serves, alf declared that remnants from archive.is were found i dun recall how or where. this is entirely possible, and in any case i've not invest
mircea_popescu: a) alf wrote a first version of phuctor, which wasn't very good. this is excusable in that it was a first version, and altogether irrelevant ; b) alf's version being not very good was accidentally exposed through ordinary course of business ; c) alf got very butthurt at this circumstance, and kept whining about it in the logs ; d) having had enough of the whine at some later point, i presented him with the choice of either fi
mircea_popescu: look. i dunno what set of assumptions/convictions/determinations of fact you're operating under ehre, but to be plain, the situation as observed from my chair is as follows :
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude the whole discussion was what happens if archive ~goes away~. NOT what happes if archive is down.
mircea_popescu: and if they're mitm'd, it's even more valuable, now we get a collection of strange zips.
mircea_popescu: not everything has or needs a deeply philosophical answer. archive bot should save the urls and get the zips. big whoop.
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall tracing the problem towards unzip version but giving up under barrage of strange.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what he says is what happened, you had broken unzipper wouldn't fix it. which is fine, but also no basis for discussing anything.
mircea_popescu: all i recall from it was "alf got problem couldn't be replicated".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the reason it's a tree is ~because we say so~, not because in and of itself it ~is~. there's no way for a pile of code to be a tree outside of the will of the people writing code.
mircea_popescu: adlai yes, in that formulation it could be linked to the antecedent-in-file thread.
mircea_popescu: no, this'd be different ; that was about adding references ~in the files~ as comments ; this is about the patches (ie, diffs)
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski fortunately nobody gives a flying fuck what esl speakers say on any topic. this is very deeply difficult for the selfsame esltards to grok, but it DOES explain why trilema is more widely read than nytimes.
