phf: that's also a lot more generous
than my "goddamn kids
trying
to force a cult following out of a
turd"
mircea_popescu: whether one enjoys
this or not is muchly a case of mood, i suspect.
there's nothing intrinsicly good or valuable about it, it's like pareidolia except not about faces, but about stories. if you see something in
there, you brought
the something you see from home.
mircea_popescu: phf it means it does not map
to any sort of rational, coherent, non-contradictory model of
the world.
mircea_popescu: oh, and you should see
their lock knock system! it looks like a converted sewing machine!
phf: i'm not sure what
the comparisons
to
the room mean at
this point. i suspect it means "it's not really `so bad it's good`, it's really just dull bad, and you should avoid it", or?
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how you even make revolvers out of whatever dubious zamak. i mean yes i've seen prison made firearms, but
they were without exception single round sorta
things.
phf: i missed
the revolver part
mircea_popescu: are you going
to put caulk in
the space it revolves
through ? or what ?
phf: you cut put a silencer on a small caliber subsonic rounds, and
then you're going
to get a very satisfying "tink
tink
tink" sound, but
that's not going
to have any kind of stopping power.
mircea_popescu: (pro
tip : silencers dun really work on pistols, even with
today's materials science.)
phf: so bad, it's not even worth a
trilema review. a byline in logs at most.
mircea_popescu: and on
the old films front, "20`000 years in sing sing" is a gnarly piece of nonsense about on
there with "the room". except with spencer
tracy playing
the incomprehensible retard.
phf: yeah, saw in logs, i'm going
to
throw it at
the patcher anyway
to see if it behaves
mircea_popescu: anyway, meanwhile binary bits were discovered in
there, so it'll likely change still.
phf: was supposed
to be btcbase/patches, like "patches" as a not very descriptive name of
the section where vpatches are stored
mircea_popescu: now, why
they opted
to do it poorly and scatter-piss-idly instead of straight up is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking
thing is browser candy for
the masses, aka "linux".
mircea_popescu: it's pretty clear LAMP was
the whole schtick, and it's evident where imagemagick would have fit into
that stack.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, it's
true
that
the whole alt-pantsuit "foss" movement failed
to design (or
to deliver, or
to mean anything, or etcetera, sursure), but nevertheless
the ashes
they left behind are amenable
to retrospective redesign.
phf: asciilifeform's favorite graphic metaphor of
the whole spittoon is always apropos
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793785 << items predates melpa by many years. i suspect first serious item
to rely on gnutls was GNUS, but initially integration was done by calling a subprocess and piping
things into it. gnutls (as well as dbus, libxml, imagemagick) as linked in library is a more recent phenomenon
☝︎ mircea_popescu: where's all
the pantsuit press discussing "the embattled usg, ever more isolated on
the world stage" ? what,
this rhodesia doesn't get
the usual rhodesian press ?
mircea_popescu: wait, wait, philipinoy no longer on list of usg pet states ?! BUT
THE SUCCESS OF INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACIES AND INTRIGUES?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd propose
taking
the "Spellchecker" out altogether, but something
tells me
the hackery is not limited
to
that module. i guess make a list of all
the places
they appear, see if it can all be excised or just replaced with better notation ?
hanbot: _getSeparators : function() { var re = '', i, str =
this.editor.getParam('spellchecker_word_separator_chars', '\\s!"#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}§©«®±¶·ž»ŒœŸ¿×÷€\u201d\u201c'); << sample itam.
they're buried in
the code as ad-hoc magic chars.
mircea_popescu: hanbot : file -bi reports "text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii", which seems proper ; however awk -vFS="" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)w[$i]++}END{for(i in w) print i,w[i]}' 'mp-wp_genesis.vpatch' spits out
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/YQn0g/?raw=true which shows
the problem -- you got a buncha garbage single-occurence chars in
there.
mircea_popescu: hanbot oddly
the file doesn't pass utf-8 ; but passes iso 8859.
there's some artefact in
there.
mircea_popescu: 6mb
to get a fucking blog cms going. oh epic world of bits...

too slow, please wait
till
tomorrow for me
to push
the regrind with fixes. if you can give me
that version of mp-wp.vpatch unsigned
that would be helpful
mircea_popescu: well, i just had steaks! (at

teh logs).

trinque: deep deep sads and justwantedtos in portage at
the moment.
mircea_popescu spent many years of life at
the
task of ensuring
the correctness of
those calculations
mircea_popescu: hey, cheaper is
the rule of machinery. as long as you correctly calculate
the cheaper, all industrial process is nothing but.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, i
think we
touched briefly in here on
the advantage of physical systems, and how
they could be
tested back when
they were still used, over digitalisms.
mircea_popescu: car ran fine. and would have ran fine like
this for however many mn kms, at
the cost of having
to change
the battery 3x more often
than per design
mircea_popescu: as running
that almost non stop, resulting in
too much current draw, resulting in ac bringing available power
too low, resulting in battery not getting enough etc.
mircea_popescu: consider actual example : as i said at some point i bought used bmw. you might know or not, but
these engines actually have a GEARBOX for
the fan aspirating air
to cool
the radiator.
this particular engine's gearbox for
the fan was shot, resulting in a fan so weak you could stop it with finger (properly maintained, it's so strong as
to snap a finger off).
therte's a... special 2nd line fan system for
this situation, and car w
mircea_popescu: you could have a much simpler car, of course, but X would be proportionately larger. which is why no 1918 car can compete with modern cars in
terms of say fuel economy.
mircea_popescu: so at an increase of operating cost, unmaintained complex machinery continues
to function.
mircea_popescu: rt of pyramidal arrangement, picked up for ever more), but
the xi will INCREASE (mostly because
the "cost
to run" now also includes wear and
tear of parts not designed
to wear and
tear in
that way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this line is shakier ; i have seen good cars missing a few % of
the parts
through locals' insane notions of maintenance, still running. "what were
they for ?" well, it's like
this :
the cost for
the car
to run is X, built out of x1...xn costs
to do various itemized portions of "to run". if cost xi is due
to components Ci1...Cim, should Cij fail, its slack will probably be picked up by
the rest (often, in some so
mircea_popescu: much like
the kid who spent his preteen years sewing footballs for nike is never going
to be a great pianist.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 19:35 hanbot: latest in mp-wp saga: spyked's patch on vtools let me gpr build
the phf's patcher and vdiff, latter of which made a genesis, former of which dies on pressing wiff:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/2IVPp/?raw=true mircea_popescu: the large problem is
that, generally unbeknownst
to
the victims of usg child abuse,
they are actually not fit for any kind of intellectual work anymore, nor will ever be.
mircea_popescu: and it is EXACTLY child abuse. some people
take five year olds and
teach
them how
to
take penis up
their asshole. usg
takes five year olds and
teaches
them
to be ashamed of saying "i,
therefore", and affraid of saying "this is
too much
to read".
mircea_popescu: they dare say
this
to me, "oh,
trilema is
too hard
to read, i'm not reading it".
that part, yes.
they however do not say it in
the one direction where it belongs said : "the source you published is
too long for me
to comfortably read,
therefore you are in breach of your obligation ; fix it or ima burn down your shack."
mircea_popescu: but see, here's how it latches into imperial systematic child abuse :
the esltards are brought up
to
think
their own limits are shameful, and consequently... "nobody dared" point out
that he, personally, can not read
the source provided, and
THEREFORE, for ~this reason~, it has NOT BEEN PROVIDED.
mircea_popescu: except here it's "not closed in
the sense of we don't give you
text
to read ; but open in
the sense we give you an endless stream
to read"
mircea_popescu: the equivalent would be a "very good compiler -- it either compiles or never finishes, so it can't be said it ever encountered an error. drop your compile error rate
to 0% with our new
technology".
mircea_popescu: it's funny how
this is an exact implementation of
the political concept of "filibuster".
mircea_popescu: so, no, i don't expect moglen's "one weird
trick" worked or could have worked, nor do i expect moglen is, intellectually speaking, old enough
to decide whom
to fuck.
mircea_popescu: in fact,
the whole fucking discipline of zek/cattle handing is based on
this fundamental rule.
mircea_popescu: but, nothing's easier
than selling unprincipled exceptions
to comfort seekers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed.
the broad box
this falls into is "accepting
the structure but debating
the results". once you've eaten up
the premises, what
the fuck cartoonish "ha-HAA!" can you possibly expect, jesus fuck, 12 year olds moving about freely.
mircea_popescu: this is akin
to
the notion
that redskins would have used
treaties
to opress white settlers. bitch, really ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "but vendors could never distribute meaningless source,
the million eyes of
the community would spot it and
things would happen!"
mircea_popescu: it could be "one dood's blog", if rms could ever muster enough cogency
to keep a blog. but in fact, it's a loose association of conference-goers. for
the same money
they could be a "polyamory club" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: principles of usg diffusely outside of usg.microsoft, usg.intel, usg.ibm and other enummerable badness".
that about work ?
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we'll have
to have a
terminology standard
then. how about
this : fsf = "a little coven of pantsuit retards defined by loyalty
to rms and no further characteristics", ie fsf is about on
the level of importance of "starslatecodex" ; gnu = "symbol with no concrete reference, sometimes used as g- or gnu- prefix by marketeers exacly like
the string 'super-'" ; open = "group of usg wreckers working on perpetuating
the
mircea_popescu: moreover,
there's exactly ZERO discussion of
this anywhere. major, undeclared fork passing uncommented for what, a decade ? is
this
the level of "rational" idiocy in
these muppets ?
