mircea_popescu: other than that, from what i've seen i believe he's probably right, lilo setup possibly fucked your grub at some juncture. it'd be great to extract the juncture if at all possible.
mircea_popescu: so either write the blog article or don't ; but in any case be like "yo trinque, the problem's X, reproducible through Y, approach a dun work because q happens, approach b dun work because w happens, wut do ?"
mircea_popescu: hence the encouragement to go write a blog article about it -- the idea is that "well, maybe he's not so good at being succint, but if he's stuck telling the whole story then organisation will necessarily emerge for him from it".
mircea_popescu: but if these aren't structured in the manner where they're useful... unsurprisingly enough, they can't be used.
mircea_popescu: i have no doubt that you, as anyone who uses computers, occasionally encounters error messages, and occasionally has problems.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no man, the difference ain't that one's topic is ada and the other's topic is cuntoo. the difference is that she said "here's the top level problem, here's the list of possible solutions, here's the failure mode of each, let me know if either the list's missing an item or wtf." ; you said "here's an error message pasted and i've been having problems".
mircea_popescu: this without even going into ridiculous nonsense a la "We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then w
mircea_popescu: it very well fucking is not. it's not even remotely as important. having usg.cmu or usg.anything-else spew on actual literature is nothing short of vandalism. i don't want their grafitti, and i don't care why they think they're owed it.
mircea_popescu: and in any case uncountenable view whereby the fucktarded usgistan is at least more important than fucking shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and it is VERY HARMFUL fucking junk. having "All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/CMU": and are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. (CMU = Carnegie- Mellon University)." or "Copyright laws are changing all over the world, be sure to check the copyright laws for your country before posting these files!!" in the lede of "The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare" promotes a most harmful
mircea_popescu: diana_coman the one question lingering here is : as ada actually elaborates an init and an exit, as it must, since it does in fact compile, whether there's a way to use these correctly in lieu of "call C-mommy to change diapers".
mircea_popescu: "we wanna fight mommy just a bit so she thinks more of us, not so she gets the fuck lost and we start our own household"
mircea_popescu: and why ? because braindamaged morons ~deliberately made it so~.
mircea_popescu: and ada kept to an arm's length absolutel minimum. i find it immoral to support development in femstate languages.
mircea_popescu: at the rate this is going, main will be c and calling ada bits. and killing them.
mircea_popescu: inb4 "o but mp, lips also doesn't think so much of anyone besides the social worker conduit to govt dole keks"
mircea_popescu will NEVER fucking support this, i don't care what it is, people, software, whatever the fuck. husband above ALL children, operator above internal state, no fucking exceptions.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck dares it love its children more than its owner!
mircea_popescu is seriously considering switching back to c ; 90% of the codebase there already...
mircea_popescu: diana_coman or rather, "how to a) kill something b) in a manner that's guaranteed to work".
mircea_popescu: shinohai just because a buncha kids take 2-3 ppm of hash and play with it, by cutting it into as many various boxes with labels on them (which are now "things" dontchaknow) as the square of the kiddypool headcount mean nothing. that's how industry works, back when the parents were atthe foundry making nails, kiddies had bits and segments of nails in all the pockets to play with.
mircea_popescu: the females' perl apparatus at least produces babies, yo! what the fuck's the male perl machine do ?
mircea_popescu: that'd be back before they started folding left and right like cockroaches, on the slightest of pressures, each and all of them discovering they'd much rather be "media personalities" with a side-job of dishwasher than practically anything else.
mircea_popescu: anyone even recall this, btw, back when "people themselves" were gonna somehow UGC into existence the dawn of a new world ?
mircea_popescu: and should we discover that, suddenly all the early, romantic era preaching about inflation being bad ~per se~ will need to somehow be adjusted into "inflation bad because a) market-impredictable and b) government-arbitrary", and a lot of pointing out that "systems with preknown and immutable inflation are exactly equivalent to systems with no inflation", "because in functional analysis all constants are equally C" or somesuc
mircea_popescu: should be very interesting to see what happens next year -- we might discover, for the "yet unknown bitcoin flaws file" that indeed halving rewards induce halving of mining-security.
mircea_popescu: in other news, bitcoin difficulty looks like it's finally come out of the crazy and into economic coupling, check it out, past six months it's been evidently kept in place by fiat exchange rates.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, well, i wish to hear what that one guy has to say. then we see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what is your idea here, "cuntoo comes with gtk 2 and firefox 40" ?!
mircea_popescu: (spoiler -- it crashes just as much as the newer ones, damned thing was never stable in its existence)
mircea_popescu: leaving aside ratpoison, wtf are you gonna do re "browser" ?
mircea_popescu: ( asciilifeform turns out it wasn't even gl! but that sina / herbi fella.)
mircea_popescu: there is ~no point~ in even having graphics if we permit broken interfaces between x and the downstream apps.
mircea_popescu: (also other reasons, but this is the most cleanly evidently indicative of the braindamage involved)
mircea_popescu: there's no acceptable x-wrappers atm, FOR THIS REASON.
mircea_popescu: in short -- i don't merely wish to import x and then end up in bullshit "kde vs gnome" faux "dilemma"s of the femstate ilk. i wish to import x in such a way as to have a sane stack. which is why i wanna saddle phf with it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pretty sure it was triggered by discussion of gpg "security" features, other-windows-can-read-keystrokes, how and wherefore idiots ended up stuffing everything in the top context and it's not really x's fault and so on.
mircea_popescu: where the fuck is it god damned it, dood proved succintly he well understands the permission model sanity required by the whole stack and the idiotic breakage later morons introduced and now i can't fucking find it.
mircea_popescu: it would be, which is why i'm tryna volunteer this guy. hey phf you about ?
mircea_popescu: the one thing gabriel ladel did manage, get phf ranting about cairo, sgi, x, permission models, where the fuxck was it
mircea_popescu goes to dig for phf 's original x rant... that thing was something else.
mircea_popescu: trinque i didn't suspect cuntoo was necessarily at fault there, no.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was making a 2014 point, see. that portion of it meanwhile obsolete.
mircea_popescu: "this one crash that only happens twice every third saturday when running postgres on cuntoo in x mode with y switch doing z task" is still catastrophic, as these things go.
mircea_popescu: trinque "it's a test of musl" in the sense that if something breaks it'll likely be that, not reasonable to expect that because you took out whatever solitaire version gets bundled with gentoobuntu then therefore your build crashes.
mircea_popescu: i guess so. though, as you well pointed out, "gentoo" doesn't mean anything, and adding "vintage" or "traditional" dun fix this.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, can start talking of a much better trb sitting.
mircea_popescu: tbh this thing is moving along quite prettily ; once we've had eulora and phuctor run on it for a few months we'll know whether it's stable or not and if not what to fix.
