phf: i have
a borrowed carbon x1 that i'm hoping to make use of. guy was running ubuntu on it, and clean slackware install at the very least doesn't exhibit particularly aberrant behaviors
phf: i'd probably persevere but it was interfering with my work, only so much you can do with cli emacs, without
a proper browser
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps he has become
a lichen as he aged. Half man half malassezia since the toe jam incident.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: i suspect that it is
a js thing << look at the page source. no js, just
a href anchors.
pete_dushenski: fwiw b-
a logs always and everywhere seem to link correctly. maybe eulora logs need some of that kako magic pixie dust ?
mircea_popescu: i don't care. if it doesn't select correctly on
a href anchor it's so broken it wouldn't qualify as
a browser in 1995.
mircea_popescu:
a href="#t00:21:04" class="time">00:21</
a> << your browser is VERY broken
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 17:13:58; phf: we don't have
a way to serialize/deserialize yet, so the point is moot, but probably not for long
mod6: in scheme news, i learned how to read
a file and print it out the screen. lol
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> breaks do
a body good. << yeah for sure. and i think it totally helps to step back and see the entire forest through the trees.
mod6: shinohai: cool! maybe take
a backup at somepoint before you get to 100% so incase of power-cycle you won't have to start over from genesis.
mod6: really quite helpful to just relax for
a couple of days.
mod6: asciilifeform: re yesterday (line 47) of some version of the V99997 build script.... I took
a look at the one that was deedbot'd and that line was correct.
molz: asciilifeform:
a bitcoin fan
botneko-chan: Lol I'm hhaving. Actually I more love fun from ddos, money is
a good bonus
phf: right, but that's
a feature
mircea_popescu: phf wherein the dtime and dresult are
a measurement of the idiocy of the people involved.
phf: well, technical solution to social problem is the one where you get
a social system running, come back in 30 years, the expected output is still present, even if perhaps diminished
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for botneko-chan with note: on the right side of the fight
mircea_popescu: but on thinking about it, i guess in the end i disagree there even could be such
a thing as
a technical problem.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this would still be
a human as opposed to "technical" problem.
mircea_popescu: put
a wot in there, give up on the idea that people are fungible, problem goes away.
mircea_popescu: well, if there is wrecker code there's probably
a systematic problem at work
phf: it's not clear to me how to enforce it without human in the loop.
a monkey can enforce gpl, but it takes thinking human in the loop to identify
a wrecker code
phf: rms doesn't see вредительство as
a problem, but it's also the kind of
a problem for which there's no technical solution
mircea_popescu: botneko-chan suppose you get yourself
a key, get in the wot.
gribble: kakobrekla was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 24 minutes and 32 seconds ago: <kakobrekla> redditards also report Well, the DDoSer(s) are hitting my home network now. Can't use my internet. I have been running
a Classic node., DDOS on Classic nodes, DDoS started again. Have
a nice day, guys :)

phf: i was thinking that get-unix-time is
a language feature, that's bedrock (i.e. being able to query wallclock), and can be used to build other abstractions on time, right now used for timing, but should be used as base for get-universal-time/decode-universal-time/get-decoded-time
phf: asciilifeform: i'm not convinced yet one way or another. "ordinary routine" in tinyscheme is considered to be
a crossboundary ffi, and is only enabled when building non-standalone
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 17:55:44; mircea_popescu: btw, asciilifeform any clue as to why he has it in for powell ? would it be anything other than the man's notice in the supreme court record that
a woman raped sustains thereby no serious or lasting injury ?
phf: "I’m
a Former Green Beret and Here’s How I Would Bring Down Bitcoin" wtf

☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the power of this scheme, such as it is, is reductionism. specifically : map
a large number of idiocies on the same (historical) term for similar idiocies. it is
a dangerous gamble.
mircea_popescu: "Under the Republic an almost unlimited frankness in public utterances was tolerated and
a considerable confusion of the mind, unfeigned and unabashed, was bared to everyone's inspection. Under the Dictatorship only one idea of political and philosophical relevance could be safely expressed. As
a result, public utterances became uniform and, in the same proportion, insincere." heh. said of every republic ever.
phf: to some extent init.scm is like
a v patchset, functions referencing functions, which is in turn
a popularity contest, except not directly supported by wot
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo might actually be
a good idea for qntra to establish
a standard procedure to do this. << There already is. Tack
a paragraph on top of it explaining its deviance from sanity and wrap the document as plaintext in block quotes
phf: mircea_popescu: what would be
a higher level here?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo might actually be
a good idea for qntra to establish
a standard procedure to do this.
mircea_popescu: The California Supreme Court took up its first diversity case in almost seven years today, agreeing to decide the legality of San Francisco's program that grants preferences for aryan contractors. The court granted
a hearing on appeals by two companies that say the city ordinance violates Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that outlawed aryan preferences in public contracting, employment and education
mircea_popescu: phf and do you take the further step and say "since all ambiguity is definitionally bad design, we prolly need to cut this knot at
a higher level" ?
phf: we don't have
a way to serialize/deserialize yet, so the point is moot, but probably not for long
☟︎ phf: ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is
a straight rip of the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp << correct way to do that one is to write get-index-best that returns block-index structure that you can get bits value from, and then have get-difficulty do all the equivalent calculations in scheme, bitshifting and all
mircea_popescu: (unrelatedly - i've re-read the arabic old texts. the previous time i did this they ended up in the fire. somehow, the shit's grown EVEN MORE offensive over the years. scarcely can explain this wonder - the people involved have been dead for
a thousand years.)
mircea_popescu: which goes right back to
a much older thread re arabs and women and how it all works.
mircea_popescu: “Do you not see that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth? Nowhere is there
a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them where ever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Aware of all things.”
mircea_popescu: but this is not
a matter of parties per se. it is not
a matter of conviction, it is
a matter of biology.
mircea_popescu: anyway. to continue the thought - the usg and its ephemera are deeply and fundamentally antifeminist. they hate women as individuals and aim to exploit them as
a mass. this is EXACTLY the situation of black people in the antebellum south : hated as individuals, exploited as
a group.
mircea_popescu: all "produces" reduce to "ought to", easier for people who comprehend enough physics to know time is not
a thing, but even for more pedestrian minds.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, try an actual reasoning (ie, from causes) rather than
a faux-fiatesque monstrosity (as to purposes)
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 15:11:22; mircea_popescu: i've been spending the ~week since the various selectatron discussions meditating on the problem. i do not believe javascript is rescuable. not withstanding all the effort derps put into it, javascript is fundamentally
a broken idea that for this reason can never be useful.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:53:51; mircea_popescu: and speaking of "good things that ruin other good things", is it generally obvious to the esteemed b-
a WHY the movement to "more women in tech", "more women in army", "more women in bla-bla" trends ? i thought it is, but then again maybe i'm the only one to whom it is.\
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:45:10; mircea_popescu: from what i hear lisp is "already standardized". i personally am not terribly persuaded by this claim, but will entertain it on
a technical basis as the cases may come. who knows, maybe gabriel was right and it is.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 07:43:07; ben_vulpes: i recommend
a thorough course of benjies, piped straight through the developer funnel.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 08:31:50; punkman: "the release of the final report of
a lengthy public inquiry into Mr. Litvinenko’s death."
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking the equivalent of
a man who married
a street whore, had
a daughter with her somehow, and now that the girl's of age being almost 11and
a half he is very fond of demonstrating to random passerbys in the street just how unlike her mother the youngun is, through the age old process of stuffing bills in her various articles of clothing as "see, she doesn't even take the stocks off!"
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 09:14:05; punkman: not
a bad idea to write down reading notes and share on mailing list
mircea_popescu: then the SOPS goons wanna wonder why people don't give
a shit about their nonsense.
