them around as art objects / use
them idly while walking around
the house as sceptres, gesture with
them and so forth.
mircea_popescu: but
the point is solid, you need
the forum MORE when you're in
the shit, not less.
ben_vulpes: perhaps i'll have
the opportunity
to run
the experiment some day and we can see
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not "a chance", it's a virtual guarantee. were you
there and pissed
they'd have pushed you
though apologetically.
mircea_popescu: next you're going
to build elaborate nutcrackers like
those doomed bavarians.
ben_vulpes: can get
them
to bottom out just beyond
the cracking distance!
ben_vulpes: they've always been my "wrong
tool for every job"; i'd rather have a set of deep sockets in pretty much every situation.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i've had it for a year, afaik never used yet for anything in
the vein of its intended utilities.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: i halfway suspect
that nobody had ever looked inside
that cabinet until BingoBoingo; maybe arrived from
the boat preassembled even,
to dimensions convenient
to assemblers and not users.
ben_vulpes: i
think i will
take
the avuncular head-pat
mircea_popescu: well, it's how
the people who make
this stuff
their business call
things, anyway.
ben_vulpes: iirc
that nugget stuck with me from a piece on five mile island i read lord only knows how long ago
mircea_popescu: and check out ben_vulpes ; he actually knows
the
terms of art now. been doing some reading ?
mircea_popescu: but i lolled at
the fbi check
through interpol. "send me an aba wire
through sepa!"
hanbot: <ben_vulpes> womxn is
the new word in other linguistic backflips << why, has
the average one gotten so large you can't
tell whether or not she's a plurality?
ben_vulpes: womxn is
the new word in other linguistic backflips
mircea_popescu: oh, don't forget
the send-off, "if anyone had shot at mommy,
THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN RAZED DOWN!!!! but since i could find no record of it happening..."
ben_vulpes: complaining bitterly
to any mother who might be nearby is how oregonians do everything
mircea_popescu: "A few weeks later, one of
the Smithfield rebels was caught in Eugene
trying
to buy supplies, and arrested and lodged in a jailhouse. Word spread quickly, and a lynch mob soon had assembled
to lay siege
to
the jailhouse. But
the rebel, who had hidden a
tiny penknife somewhere on his person, put up such a ferocious fight
that vigilante justice was delayed long enough for
the sheriff
to arrive with a posse, and soon
the mob was
mircea_popescu: choicest bits : "Staunch Unionists in Eugene were outraged.
They did not, however, feel outraged enough
to brave
those grim-faced Smithfield sharpshooters in an attempt
to do something about it. So instead,
they complained bitterly
to every authority
they could reach:
the sheriff,
the state legislature, and yes,
the federal government in Washington, D.C."
trinque: if she doesn't want
to wait, eventually
there will be a way
to
transition a classical gentoo box forthcoming, since I'll be doing it
to my own.
trinque: she was building
the
thing evaluating it for her own use. still can, but will need a revision from me, which I'm working on.
mircea_popescu: trinque how's you giving
things
the needed looks hold up anyone ?
trinque: at any rate,
this needs a longer look. we don't need
to be going "oh upstream broke us" again in a month. meanwhile I don't want
to hold anyone up setting up a pizarro box.
trinque: rather
than accept
the insult and add
tape, I lean
towards basing
the
thing on busybox and pulling
this and other redundancies out.
trinque: diana_coman: regarding your cuntoo build problem, net-tools upstream has apparently broken build on default gcc-4.9.4. If I pass -std=gnu99,
the definer of IFNAMSIZ is included and
the
thing builds.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and finally done with
that rewrite! it ended up soaking
two workdays, but seems quite worth it.

a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 06:14 phf: i
think
there might still be a bunch of cool stuff like
that hidden in your
themes,
that's not in wp-mp
a111: Logged on 2018-03-13 20:08 spyked: yeah. but for some reason I couldn't figure why it doesn't activate
the #selection
thing at all with
this optimization. must be
that
the page layout is different.
there was a
thing
that
trilema did, hm... /me rereads
http://trilema.com/2015/that-spiffy-selection-thing/ spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787759 <-- a-ha, mystery solved!
Trilema has a <div class="post"> child
to <span id="shash-...">, so
that portion of
the script selects it when
the child is not a
text node (the nodeType==3 bit).
thetarpit DOM
tree is flatter and doesn't wrap
the content in
this additional div. NB, will keep it mind should performance ever prove
to be an issue.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: pretty humongous penalty on large articles,
try one of my mb ones with
that on
spyked should really reread
this script more often, it doesn't seem
to stick in head.
spyked: mircea_popescu: in scrollToHash and
the onmouseup callback
there's
this call: recur(content.childNodes[content.childNodes[0].nodeType==3 ? 1 : 0]); <-- for some reason I couldn't get
this
to work, so I changed it
to: recur(content); which should walk
through all
the children in
the DOM subtree, not just childNodes[0] or childNodes[1].

trinque: I believe it's more or less established by
this point
that
the solution is
to have a history file
that's edited by patchers if
they care
that
their patch isn't abandoned.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787748 << just about, yes. i wanted a model file so we have something
to play with and
the original concept was
to have phf include it in his v
tree of his v rewrite because it seemed
the first item
that's coming out at
the
time from l1 hands ; but if it's holding you back re
tmsr-portage, go ahead and make
the sample yourself and we'll see how it works.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked "the original script doesn't always pass childNodes[0] as a parameter" << whoa, where is
this ?

☟︎ trinque: I did not yet V genesis a portage overlay (which would eventually become
the *only* portage
tree, after republican ebuilds are made
to replace items needed from
the gentoo official portage) pending a resolution
to
the
thread on how
to handle v
tree fragmentation.
trinque: diana_coman
tried
to build a cuntoo per my recipe and was bitten by
the upstream musl-overlay gentoo repository having shifted enough
to break
the build.
trinque: since we're discussing cuntoo in pizarro, and it's more generally relevant, I'm moving
the
thread here.
mod6: thanks for checking
that out diana_coman!
diana_coman: fwiw I grabbed
the .c check script and ran it for peace of mind on eucrypt's patches with success
diana_coman: nice work
there mod6 ;
the new V functionality seems
to me potentially useful
mod6: Lords and Ladies of
the Republic, here's my "blog" post on
the UTF-8 character found in genesis.vpatch, please review:

☟︎ hanbot grew up along
the san andreas fault, has seen a few windows blow out but not much more.
BingoBoingo: Back in
the spring of 2008 my part of Illinois had a couple 5.x rumblers, and
that is
the limit of my experience with
the
things. For one however I was on
the cantilevered balcony of a US standard apartment. Quite
the ride.
BingoBoingo: 5 is about
the line for ones I have noticed in my life. Maybe
there was a 4.X somewhere down
the line.
mircea_popescu: i'd guess maybe about 5 or so. but
the civil alarm sirens went off.
jhvh1: dpb_please_up:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: James M. Cain's original pulp and Raymond Chandler's
treatment,
together.
mod6: Speaking of posts, I should have my regrind post up later
tonight.
mircea_popescu: hope
to publish
this afternoon, unless something happens.
mod6: mircea_popescu: point
taken.
mircea_popescu: lol. nothing like
that mod6 , but just bear in mind
that
the response is about what you respond
to, not
the audience. just because ants drive you crazy is no reason
to aim
the howitzer at next ant comes by. it's NOT BIG ENOUGH. not yet at any rate.
mod6: I'm 0-2 lately. I better lay off answering
the door!
mircea_popescu: i don't know of many sites besides
trilema
that don't look like monkey work. it's become
the web
tradition somehow.
mod6: I
tried
to go easy on him. It was
the info people dug up on
the site
that
threw me for a scammer.
shinohai: My apologies, I'm not exactly most nimble of fingers
these days
mircea_popescu: anyway, you're
too hard,
too strong and
too fast. bear in mind
that
the best steel cracks under shock and
that you yourseld didn't have a pgp key before you made it.
mircea_popescu: i can say
them patterns dun work so well
then, can't i.

troubled youth, or what
a111: Logged on 2018-03-12 17:31 asciilifeform: BlueAngelHost: for what purpose did you come here? why do you imagine
that you will find an audience for your provocateur nonsense here ?
lobbes: Well,
this gives me some
things
to
try, so
thank you! Will do some more js-diving
tonight with
this info in-hand and report results.
spyked: and
that didn't work for me for some reason. as for other potential problems... I used
the firefox dev console, single-stepping
through
the js code and comparing between
Trilema and my blog instance.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-12 17:09 lobbes: I saw in logs
that spyked was
trying
things
to get it
to work. You ever get
that working, spyked?
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-12#1787606 <-- I got it
to work for
thetarpit, I had
to solve one or
two specific problems
to make it work. one was
to get
the correct ID of
the DOM subtree where
the highlighting occurs (lines 43, 91 and 225 of
http://deedbot.org/deed-506234-1.txt ) and another was
to ensure
that
the recur function gets called on
the correct subtree --
the original script doesn't always pass childNodes[0] as a parameter,
