asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they dun need an amendment to dethrone president

asciilifeform: motherfucking tards. ☟︎

asciilifeform: but this gives you a C-style 'modular type' -- e.g., it can overflow and underflow.

asciilifeform: now, type U64 is mod 2**64; works

asciilifeform: because -- marvel of marvels, gcc has nfi how to generate bounded unsigned 64bit types in ada on x86-64.

asciilifeform: 'integer type definition bounds out of range'

asciilifeform: barfs gcc:

asciilifeform: type Foo is range 0 .. (2**64)-1;

asciilifeform: in other adanoose, appartently

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: h1b from obummer's Badness Enumeration List ~= 0

asciilifeform: Framedragger: neato

asciilifeform: and to top off the lulzfest, http://archive.is/jMArA : 'Microsoft Corp said it has been cooperating with the Washington State Attorney General's Office, which is suing in federal court to stop President Donald Trump's order restricting immigration from several Muslim countries.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: (source -- http://archive.is/3mkfG )

asciilifeform: removal, but if Pence and half the cabinet declared Trump unfit, even a Republican-controlled Congress would likely fall in line.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: in other monkeystan chatter, 'Pence is sane enough to oppose rash acts involving, say, the evisceration of all U.S. military alliances, or America's first use of nuclear weapons - and presumably, if things got bad enough, other Trump cabinet members might also be inclined to oust their boss and replace him with his vice president. Congress would have to acquiesce in a permanent 25th Amendment ☟︎

asciilifeform: Run Moar Debian.

asciilifeform: 'Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in tcpdump, a command-line network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilities might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.'

asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3775

asciilifeform: where do i buy a steel lappy nao?

asciilifeform: hence the astonishing weight

asciilifeform: btw i nearly forgot, that pen box had 100% STEEL case

asciilifeform: 'snail trail'

asciilifeform: games were a ~nonstarter on old lappies, dualscan lcd!

asciilifeform: lulzily, the only i/o was... laplink!

asciilifeform: http://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/30/business/the-executive-computer-what-a-more-powerful-pen-based-computer-can-do.html << vintage propaganda re subj

asciilifeform: esp to a kid who never even saw a laptop close-up

asciilifeform: that thing was ~glorious~.

asciilifeform: photo.

asciilifeform: https://randoc.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/ncr-3125/ << heeere we go

asciilifeform: sufficed for plenty of things.

asciilifeform: 386 20MHz iirc.

asciilifeform: b&w lcd, 640x480 with reflector (no lamp)

asciilifeform: otherwise spiffy. 20MB hdd!

asciilifeform: so in that sense, terrible

asciilifeform: it got me into badhabit of 'comp in bed'

asciilifeform: 'ncr penpad', from dumpster

asciilifeform: i shit thee not

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i actually had an msdos tablet

asciilifeform: wassat

asciilifeform: 'Parse' ?

asciilifeform: at any rate, Unknown Hero wins asciilifeform's bronze trololol'o'today medal

asciilifeform: it's a null it seems

asciilifeform: nope?

asciilifeform: must be tru.

asciilifeform: hey it was on trilema.io!!!

asciilifeform: unfortunately i have

asciilifeform: i always wanted to know, who came up with that.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever hear the ru they 'speak' in american films?

asciilifeform: (18th c. theme park)

asciilifeform: hey there's already williamsburg.

asciilifeform: polish government in exile!!1111

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu delivers.

asciilifeform: and eulora.io when

asciilifeform: at any rate, if somebody feels like a bit of exercise -- would be hilarious, to learn whothefuck, and wai

asciilifeform: brain-melting.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: where it renders beautifully

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it's optimized for crapplepad

asciilifeform: In this network system, Blockchain is used for managing development and release of game applications, players matching, game fairness and payment function.'

asciilifeform: 'A decentralized network system fully-utilizing Blockchain in every aspect, aims at solving current difficulties faced by key cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, preventing from frauds and money-laundering, ID management and being a mediator with taxing/administrative system in various countries. ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://cardano.io ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: oh hey hey hey lbj:

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nah that was pre-braindamage kako

asciilifeform: wonder if this was kako's Seekrit Project

asciilifeform: ZILLION GOSSIPD EXCHANGED!!

asciilifeform: i can't picture this being the only one , also

asciilifeform: apparently!!

asciilifeform: and who knows wat else

asciilifeform: this has gotta be the most elaborate heathen shannonization of the l0gz to date

asciilifeform: from the dept. of wtf : https://www.adacoin.io/Home/pageContent/introduction

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato

asciilifeform: aah

asciilifeform: !~later tell danielpbarron your www is down ?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: still emits blocks regularly..?

asciilifeform somewhat astonished that litecoin still exists

asciilifeform: in other heathenlulz, http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php

asciilifeform: lulzy piece.

asciilifeform: 'They are running for cover on how to kill ObamaCare without killing patients or Republican re-election hopes.'

asciilifeform: 'Impeachment is gaining ground because it is the only way to get him out, and because Republicans are already deserting this president in droves, and because the man is psychiatrically incapable of checking whether something is legal before he does it.'

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in monkeystan, http://archive.is/LANB0

asciilifeform: quite typical opensores proggy.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-16#1483213 << the last wget thread. ☝︎

asciilifeform: which isn't quite it, iirc it still fetches (why? nfi) the unwanted files.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc there is only 'no-clobber'

asciilifeform: betcha you couldn't even ~mail~ this gadget, much less take on airplane.

asciilifeform: (ever see the test boxes the scanner vendors include ? they're more or less this, iron box with battery, wires, mercury switch...)

asciilifeform: probably adequate even for the automated image recognition nonsense to ring the bell.

asciilifeform: aha, stereotypical, 'not even trying to be subtle' bomb

asciilifeform: (picture what this'd look like on xray)

asciilifeform: and will probably get the owner gassed immediately in any airport.

asciilifeform: but has down-sides, can waste battery during transport.

asciilifeform: there is also mercury tilt switch, then entire unit becomes own power switch

asciilifeform: runner up is reed switch and magnet.

asciilifeform: so far best i can think of is a third fiber (on top of usual rx and tx) connected to phototransistor and power fet.

asciilifeform: oddly enough, the biggest conundrum in 'make a microwaveable comp' seems to be... the power switch

asciilifeform idly wonders if at the end of this experiment he will end up with physically ~same box as what mircea_popescu made.

asciilifeform: (most elementary test: place pnojes, and other small but reasonably powerful rf-emitting gadgets inside, and try and connect to'em)

asciilifeform: worx great.

asciilifeform: tested a 'BUD Industries' cast aluminum and elastic conductor gasket rf box , recently, incidentally.

asciilifeform: trinque: just obvious line of inquiry

asciilifeform bought a set, will test and post result. ☟︎
