hanbot: possibly
the fast food fumes interfere
hanbot: i
think it and heathrow are my least favorite.
hanbot: oh, fun. i'll investigate, meanwhile it should read properly on
the index
mircea_popescu: or w/e, "let's see how far i can push nonsense before daddy finally loves me enough
to say something"
mircea_popescu: but
they're doing
the "Clever"
thing
they picked up at kiddy rape farm (aka "school" in
their lingo), whereby "doing it because getting away with it"
mircea_popescu: i do not even for a second believe
they don't know better.
mircea_popescu: heretics joining
them -- well
they utterly fucking deserve everything
they get, don't
they.
mircea_popescu: that much makes sense.
the empire of idiots is for and by idiots, yes.
mircea_popescu: everyone else has
the ready excuse : i'm with usg because who else would give a straw hat for
the asshole of a barely literate black woman ? ~condolezza rice.
mircea_popescu: i honestly enjoy watching "good men" in
the sense of dedicatedly evil but biologically promising intellects like
this fucktard,
the murdock dork and so on getting fucked.
mircea_popescu: , by using more of my work against me... And in
the latter case i give people like Jasper and companies like Endless Mobile what
they want, in spite of
their contemptible actions and statements. Logically,
there is only one conclusion possible in
that constellation."
mircea_popescu: "Now I have a choice. I can wait until i am in
the mood
to clean up
this code and produce something useful for public consumption, and in
the meantime see my name and my work slandered. Or... If i
throw my (nasty) code over
the wall, someone will rename/rewrite it, mess up a lot of
things, and
trash me for not having done corner X or Y, so essentially slander me and my work and probably even erase my achievements from history
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, some dood,
thought she did something or
the other in crypto
mircea_popescu: because
totally,
that's what i'm competing with. it's not
the case
that per-hour imperial pay for computer work is under a cent.
mircea_popescu: "From March 2011 on, I have spent an insane amount of
time on
this. Codethink paid, all-in-all, 6 weeks of my
time when i was between customer projects." << and
then come here asking for
TWENTy MILLIONS
trinque: castrati gotta remove
the
taint!
trinque: who can differentiate
them
trinque: is
this
the same libreboot
tranny, or yet another one
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with declarative languages ; as proven by
the very fact
that you find yourself constrained
to use
them NOW AND AGAIN.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every single
thread of "oh, alf could solve
this problem -- in a vacuum" comes down
to
this, an incorrect choice between
the
two in one of
those rare field cases where adherence actually
trumps elegance.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, you will not die if you step out of a narrow model. you're a very elegant
thinker, and evidently imagine elegance is
the only possible value. nevertheless, adherence can on occasion, howsoever rarely but proportionally painfully, actually more valuable
than elegance.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-26 17:03 mircea_popescu: and so is
the situation here,
the management cost of
the general purpose solution you propose by so far drowns out any possible benefit of "hey, alf had
to learn something, instead of relying on his assumptions" you can't imagine.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and reasonable performance seems
to require manual shift and 'formula 1' pro race driver << Nah, Plenty of enthusiast vehicles are starting
to get a "Drag Racing"
transmission mode. Shifting in motorsports is mostly preserved for
the sport aspect as opposed
to
the motor part.
mircea_popescu: which yes, marks him for an exceptional manager, but remember --
traddutore,
tradditore.
mircea_popescu: because he knows both you and it well enough
to lie
to both and neither of you get it.
mircea_popescu: your problem isn't "postregs 10.0". your problem is exactly what i
told you yest -- you want support for your recursion exposed by a fucking declarative lang. wtf.
mircea_popescu: ties neatly into
the above discussion re wasted
talent also.
mircea_popescu: the
ticket
to insanity is
trying
to adapt systems for
the benefit of
those who didn't want
to use
them in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: it's not worth much
to you, ands
this because you don't want
to write postgres.
mircea_popescu: and so is
the situation here,
the management cost of
the general purpose solution you propose by so far drowns out any possible benefit of "hey, alf had
to learn something, instead of relying on his assumptions" you can't imagine.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the mechanical impedance of
the pedal drowns out any possible contribution
the human c9ould put in.
the stick can fucking detect "hey, we're getting moved, undo
the coupling!" electronically well enough
mircea_popescu: you understand
this ? your car ALSO doesn't expose injector
timings
to you. i don't care you
think you'd do a better job by hand.
the direction's been away froim
the fucking clutch, even. i personally own a car running
tiptonic gearbox and girl who's an excellent stick driver, and she STILL prefers
the autoclutch. because
the machine does it way
the fuck better, what.
phf: mircea_popescu:
the ones
that don't
tend
to be contracted by large postgresql users, but
then
the incentive is fucked up, because large postgresql users have already worked around
the well known voodoo cases and want fancy new features instead,
that run orthogonal
to core (and in a very high level architectural sense are often
the result of
the core's "voodoo" limitations)
mircea_popescu: yeah, and
this
tower of pancake would have broken and i wouldn't use it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i doubt i'd use
this item for anything.
phf: asciilifeform:
that's how allegro does it
mircea_popescu: they're probably sitting somewhere polishing statuetters because
the insane culture
they live in misdirects
them
there rather
than here.
phf: that is implement
the necessary optimization
phf: i suspect a lot of
these obvious derivations are well known
too, but
there's like 5 people who know enough postgresql internals
to implement
them.
phf: i suspect
that's it's my favorite SAT, mapping declarative problems
to an optimal imperative solution is NP, but nobody approaches it
that way anyway, instead it's heuristics which have specific failure modes on case by case basis. ascii can see see
the "obvious" derivation of optimal imperative solution from declarative code, but postgresql's compiler can't
mircea_popescu: but srsly, so what, you dirty
the count and re-run
the op
to find it. big whoop, hapens once every 5 years

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-25#1805475 << lol somehow nobody but me noticed
the bug. i fixed it
this morning, all
that remains is
to clean
the crapola from
the db, will do
this after backup
mircea_popescu: but i'm guessing "first principles" means different
things depending on who's wielding it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-26 15:45 asciilifeform: because
this here is an elementary instance of 'f-student uses bubble sort where adult would quicksort'
a111: Logged on 2018-04-26 16:06 mircea_popescu: ~at
that
time~, whenever it is, you can also insert
them into a separate
table with an autoindex field.
mod6: anyway, might be a moot point now
that youve changed your number crucher
thingy.
