trinque: mircea_popescu:
this and also "I can't push you anything"
mircea_popescu: i suspect
that however you
turn it, something LIKE rss we will have
to have, and
that like is so close as
to not make
the killing worth
the bullets.
mircea_popescu: layer 2,
the general point : rss is very visible an irc-driven reaction
to web idiocy. it's
the web-less-est
thing on
the web, and for
the very plain and evident consideration
tha
the web is wrong, EXACTLY in
the way discussed here re alphabet etc, "do not ye pretend
to
tell
the user how
to display data".
mircea_popescu: trinque
there's
two layers here. layer 1 :
there's a lot of flexibility in letting it be rss ; i can have a rss reader read it for me rather
than put all failure points in freenode-dns.
hanbot: i do have
the old mod6 vtron, i'll look @ new,
ty asciilifeform
hanbot: just
that node, mircea_popescu
trinque: mircea_popescu: depends on "web" I should've said. I'd sooner skip
the RSS feed part and have
the bot directly message folks when interesting
things happen.
the usefulness of
this is blunted by
the fact
that currently gossipd is implemented by gpg-paste.
hanbot: p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Sqn1u/?raw=true << anyone else ever seen
this wonder?
trinque: pretty hesitant
to continue
to build
the republican dependency on
the web browser.
mircea_popescu: then b) becomes just having
the bot subscribe
to
that feed.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-26 01:41 mircea_popescu: incidentally, "every shop must have a website (with ssl everywhere!!!)" and "every customer must have a loyalty card"
trends of useless nonsense somehow haven't converged
to
the most basic sanity of, "give us your rsa pubkey,
then download your data from our website whenever you want
to, just go
to shop.com/yourname"
BingoBoingo: Right, nothing's a sure
thing. Pantsuit is eating
their Facebook of all
things. US politics is getting deliciously weird on
the way
to
the flush.
mircea_popescu: depends how
the campaign goes. but if people
turn out
to actually give a shit about "stood up in arms
to federal govt and won", heck, he's got it.
BingoBoingo: Nevada is small except for
the part where it holds vegas... Very winnable.
BingoBoingo: The best part is
this isn't even
the photogenic brother.
This is
the one whose face got run over by a car and droops. But yes he can win.
BingoBoingo: 250 signatures is
the bar for getting his name printed on
the ballot. Bring da sutures for da pantsuit buttleakx
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: fixed,
ty. i'll get
to
the multiple-links
thing later

the middle kingdom's 'feed
the enemy until he dies of old age' philosophy, so cannot comment
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-26#1789669 <-- of course, I'd be glad
to!
though I agree with diana_coman's observation
that I'm a candidate but maybe not fit for lordship yet (perhaps a superfluous comment on my part, but since you asked)

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-26 15:36 mircea_popescu: somehow, notwithstanding how san fernando valley dominated hollywood for half of
the 80s and most of
the 90s,
the mpaa still reflects "the movie industry" views of state st, rather
than either hollywood or porn valley.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not such a good idea
to introduce more moving parts. but simply "n = x for a + y for b + z for c"
ben_vulpes: > Fix .asd files so
they work well with ASDF 3.3
ben_vulpes: in other news, i
think
that fare broke
the "simple-date" behavior in
the cl "postmodern" postgresql client library
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i suppose
the
thing
to do is invoice once with a link
to
the deeded linen items
mircea_popescu: you know you should probably consolidate invoices, it'\s a pain in
the ass
to pay
the same person 3 or n
times in
the same day/week
ben_vulpes: spam over,
thank you for your patience
mod6: ben_vulpes: sure, I'll look
this over and get back
to you.

☟︎ douchebag: Yeah I realize
that, I just read up on a new
technique and I'm geniunely interested
to see if it's successful
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Could you
try subscribing
to
that feed? Incase it's because my account doesn't have permission?
douchebag: And I'm not sure why it's failing, I'm not even reciving
the request in
the access logs
douchebag: Alright, is
the !!subscribe function working currently?
mircea_popescu: i
taught her a lesson in handicapping of magnificent splendour rarely seen : halfway
through last quarter,
the score being 80 (to 40 something) i asked her whether
they clear 94. no way. she bet me, and well...
mircea_popescu: in other proceedings, i met hanbot for drinks at
the blue marlin (local brothel), where we watched
teen hussies duke it out. literally : uconn beat
the shit out of south carolina (all black girls, for maximum lulz. a
tall lanky one even cried!).
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And we are solidly in autumn
temperatures. Short sleeves are fine during
the day, jacket may be desirable at night.
The wind is starting
to get a little bit of bite.
phf: i
took a long walk over sf hills, and wanted
to
take an ocean dip at
the end, but
the last 15km on
the way
to
the ocean were on flats, with a piercing cold wind. i was cold wearing a shirt and a sweater, so no swimming, but still it was a pleasant walk.
there's really nothing bad
to say about
the weather here.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-26 15:30 asciilifeform: ( hey phf , how is kanzureistan
this
time of year ? )
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-26#1789697 << not as hot as palm springs (which is full blown summer at
this point), but basically spring. it was raining last week, but right now it's a shirt weather. if you're close
to
the ocean,
then it's blowing cold wind. what i'm
trying
to say is
that
the weather is excellent, and i'm loathing going back
to
the swamps.
☝︎ diana_coman: you stamp it, I stomp it ; will find someone
to chew it
too
BingoBoingo: From about 1800
through 1880
there's some interesting history in
this region. And
then
the Italians came.
BingoBoingo: And when
the US was having its civil war Brasil, Argentina, and Uruguay went into Paraguay and fucked
their shit up as a bonding experience.
BingoBoingo: They have a fairly important river, but more like
the Mississippi and less of a wide "is
this a river or sea"
thing like
the Rio de la Plata
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( anybody been
to para- ? what's it like ? ) << From what I hear much hotter and poorer. It is
the lawless land where Uruguayos go for cheap vacations.
mircea_popescu: data is backup-ed. as
to when back online... well...
talk
to
these people.
mircea_popescu: lobbes ima put it in
the mar report ; but
the short story is, server i supposedly bought in feb still not here by late march, minigame dun have a server now.
lobbes: mircea_popescu: 'logs.minigame.bz' no longer seems
to resolve
to '192.121.170.137' (at least on my end)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously.
Their dominance of
the vehicle market here is astounding. Yumbo, Baccio, Geely. And so damn many polleritas (underbone motorcycles)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
the chinese are
the ultimate body shop ppls.
BingoBoingo: After more
time and more seen in
the wild, Ah,
the chicoms SELL
these
things here already configured
thusly
BingoBoingo: Upon arrival "Look at
that chop job, a motorcycle with a
truck bed"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> amusingly, lcd languages forced by
the needs of commerce end up ~same. <<
This heruistic collapses neatly
to
the English language used locally, strictly
the subset needed by Brasileros and Uruguayos
to do commerce.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, lcd languages forced by
the needs of commerce end up ~same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they just like it for
the usual exam-taking reasons, it's possibly
the least different from english
thing out
there.
BingoBoingo: That's kinda what I understand Dominican Spanish
to be. I kind of have an overview of Immigration
to Uruguay post half baked in my head. Need
to sit down and shove it
through
the keyboard.
mircea_popescu: that's
the other
thing : if
they're so fucking enamoured with it, why
the fuck are
they
torturing it with latin notation ?!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> swahili isn't one of
them. << Swahili's
the one Soviet allies in US academia were directed
to, likely because not a language
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck are all
the wiggers so enamoured with swahili anyway ?
there's actual languages in africa.
mircea_popescu: so now he's a scumbag who's
trying
to eat out of getting people
to be colors ?
BingoBoingo: "I credit
that group with creating my identity consciousness. Before
that, I was a brown kid
that wanted
to be white. Eusa Nia (Swahili for Black Purpose) got me."
BingoBoingo: ^ Ah, bonus I didn't notice until pasting
the
text. Author's name is PATEL!!! A wild PREEET
mircea_popescu: all
that carefully crafted
tower of narcisism and self-absorbtion (they prefer
to call it "intellectual property")! how cruel and unfair
that
the world doesn't give a damn!
BingoBoingo: did
that for me
too, short of it is loser kid bothered
that high achieving black kid wanted nothing
to do with his movement
BingoBoingo: In other pantsuit failures "I wanted
to
tear my hair out. HOW CAN YOUR RACE NOT BE
THE BIGGEST PART OF WHO YOU ARE, I wanted
to scream. DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR HISTORY? WHY WILL YOU NOT LET ME
TEACH YOU?" >> "Would it have been different if I was black rather
than brown?"
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
trends seems
to be pantsuits losing pop culture
