mircea_popescu: l approach for one hobbist in finland
to lift into his own head
the gnarl of 386.
mircea_popescu: considering also "Simply, I'd say
that porting is impossible. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not
to disk yet) and segmentation. It's
the segmentation
that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every
task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64
tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more
than 64Mb/task -
tough cookies)." i'd say it actually broadly lives up
to
the original design -- linux is a fine non-professiona
mircea_popescu:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/linux.history.html << early history of linux is probably important since we're doing so many start-of-world
things. note how it was never intended
to be an os, it was intended
to be a "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones" in order
to... "it was a project
to
teach me about
the 386".
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the fact
that none of
the early bloggers were actually literate minds shows.
to give up
the power of literature for
the lure of "oral history" ? madness.
mircea_popescu: jesus christ why is peterme.com orange ;/ and what
the fuck is
this, one self-promotion item from jan 2017, another pushing a book from august 2016 and a
third from april ? jesus christ
these people lack any insides already.
mircea_popescu: (guy, notably, is
the ~only ustard "literary critic"
to have actually read joyce's manuscripts. and you have
to hear of
this from me because
the pantsuit is busy discussing
the pseudoachievements of black chicks or w/e
the fuck
they do.)
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 16:40 mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older
than a decade" right about now.
mircea_popescu: or
they despise
themselves so much (as
the direct and also necessary result of spending all
their
time involved with absolutely nothing else)
that
they automatically discount anything
that happens
to
them by like 99.9999999%. because, as
the wise
timuruc once said, "if you were a millionaire you wouldn't be
talking
to me"
BingoBoingo: Kinda like going
to
the Ozarks when you already live in St Louis
BingoBoingo: Or
they have gone
to exotic places like paraguay.
mircea_popescu: if
they all lived in palaces it'd be one
thing, but i've seen
the louse
traps.
BingoBoingo: They again just about everybody in
this country is "on vacation" for some definitions of vacation.
mircea_popescu: imagine
the waitresses of
today. loose hundred dollar bills and
trips
to costa rica are such a common everyday occurence in
their lives,
they don't even have
to go chasing. let opportunity chase after
the broad instead, is it postmodernism or innit?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: o yeah speaking of which, hey douchebag whatever happened
to
that
tea chick ?
BingoBoingo: !~later
tell douchebag ^
the above logline has some interesting history
a111: Logged on 2018-03-29 20:13 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, news from india :
tata came up with a $2500 car. "nano". it has... no 0-60, because it goes 45 at
the most.
mircea_popescu: phf kinda what
that ended up with, "let's see how deep it can possibly get"
phf: mircea_popescu: a111 doesn't read anything from bots, i can disable it but
that will obviously create a mutually recursive loop of flood
phf: ben_vulpes: mimisbrunnr perhaps needs a list of fellow bots, so
that it ignores links from bot quotes. i remember we had conversations about how
to handle it long
time ago, but i don't remember what
the resolution was. a111 maintains a list of all bots, which is just manually updated
phf: i saw it on a colleagues
table, started reading it, and it looks sensible and educational. first
time i borrow a book from a coworker :o
mircea_popescu: "marci"
totally watched
too much
that-lesbian-interest-flick-with-the-older-woman-and-shoes, w/e it was called.
mircea_popescu: for a full-time editorial position in any capacity under Jane Pratt, with or without someone else's name crossed off next
to mine, felt like an honor."
mircea_popescu: "Four years ago
this month, I found out
that Jane Pratt —
the editor
that had made me want
to be an editor since I was 12 years old — had chosen me
to be
the beauty director of her new xoJane beauty spinoff, xoVain. OK, so I was actually her second choice — her first had fallen
through — but
that was OK. I had previously not even pitched
to xoJane because I was so intimidated and sure I'd be rejected, so getting hired
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (for
the young reader : xojane was some bullshit wanna-be "platform" for imaginary "cimmunities"
that got bought by
the suckers (time warner) in 2015 and frozen in 2016. because myspace wasn';t enough or something. and huffington post, well, need i even point out, it was exactly
the same
thing, ran by a nigger somewhat more dextrous still. adriana made out ok from
the swindle.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, i'm not objecting
to
the
thing itself, just mostly
thinking out loud.
mircea_popescu: in vaguely related news, " <p>Personally, I love personal blogs. I’m a sucker for HuffingtonPost, xoJane, and all
those other sites with
tons of juicy and interesting content.</p>" sez idiot giving advice on how
to be blogful ; his page has js-disabled copy-pasting. which evidently works.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
the "my lawyer advised me not
to comment on
the pending case" ; rather instead "sorry your honor,
that won't look good on my blog"
mircea_popescu: whereas i find VEHEHERY objectionable
the usual "oh, what kangaroo court said is what i ~really~ am,
that defines me". and so following.
mircea_popescu: "maybe i don't have much
to say ; and maybe what i have
to say isn't even
that interesting ; but at least i give it my best shot, and i am aware
there's nothing else
that's me."
mircea_popescu: seems
to me a modicum of self respect is nevertheless an absolute requisite for even showing face in a public forum.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how does
this check out ? he had no copies of
the old one or what.
mircea_popescu: (anyway, remind me of
the ocarine dood once i signal i'm done reading mazepath. which may
take
the year or something)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "first blog" is autodisqualified. what's
this, like "hot girl's first body" ? what are we, snakes ?
mircea_popescu: all fine and good, except
the penultimate article is "Happy (belated) 2018! Posted by Kevin on January 6, 2018 So, I kind of missed my annual/placeholder Happy New Year post
this
time around…"
mircea_popescu: but, of course, "you can find anything on
the internet -- if you put it
there yourself."
mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older
than a decade" right about now.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: did
the whole
thing become uninteresting,
tritely self-referrential ?
mircea_popescu: also 2018 is
the year
trilema actually
took over my leisure reading needs. by now it's so old i've forgotten a large enough proportion of it
the odds of hitting an interesting article loading my own blog actually exceed
the odds of hitting something interesting by picking up a
torrent, or opening
the internets.

to wear sunglasses
mod6: lol derp,
this for some reason didn't occur
to me lastnight. aight nevermind.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 04:48 mod6: oh btw,
the fg-genesis.vpatch and corresponding sig are not available via
the archive.is link (originating from loper-os.org) ; You may want
to post
these some where accessable. I can
throw
them onto mod6.net if you like.

the record i will point out
that
tlp is anglotard enough
to miss most of
the substance.
there's perfecty good reason everyone painted
the same god damned vase with
two apples next
to it, and
this has little do
to with "you're not boring son ok" and a lot of fucking
things
to do with ... damn, where's
that
thread about
ther ancient battlefield ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yer site's 502 for
the past half hour or so.
mod6: oh btw,

☟︎ mod6: thanks for
the post asciilifeform
mod6: hey neat, i'll give
this a closer look here
tonight.
hanbot: i
think
that's a head rampant.
mircea_popescu: ah check it out,
trilema has
the header with
the head errant
today.
mod6: cool, an example of
this
that we can use
to examine would be hugely helpful.
phf: well, i'm now convinced
that manifest is an elegant, minimally invasive solution. i'll
try it in a regrind.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf see, it never stops. it's not something one can
turn off at will, sadly.\
mod6: Maybe I'm a bit biased. heheh.
there are still problems
to
tackle
tho - and it's difficult
to do so without adding further complexity.
mod6: Eitherway, I've become
to like how we have it now.
mod6: alright, i'll have
to
take your word for it ; im imagining some huge diffs.
mod6: it would also get nasty each
time you remove or add a file in here.
