mircea_popescu: incidentally : man and lion have rather comparable penii in size. except the cat, like most cats, has keratin penile spikes.
mircea_popescu can readily see how the "african warrior" idi amin mentality would pay to fuck a lioness.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'd be unsurprised if there's a market in africa for lion prostitution.
mircea_popescu: anyway. hyenas are not cats, like lions are, but dogs. even if they've adapted into as much catness as possible. so the two aren't actually sexually compatible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not only that, but hyena is the more efficient.
mircea_popescu: (the animal doesn't actually exists outside of plinius, but still.)
mircea_popescu: this is no small matter, as lions will kill hyenas unprovoked.
mircea_popescu: for the curious, leucrota is what happens when a hyena fucks a lioness.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, if you don't want ground ammo just don't keep crates of ammo in your kitchen" "o ya ? how about i don't keep a grinder."
mircea_popescu: check it out, twenny bux bought me an egg hunt machine.
mircea_popescu: and it's my job to find the grinds in the kitchen once it's done.
mircea_popescu: this is like you know, "this coffee grinder - doesn't grind coffee". this is pretty serious - what the fuck does it do then ?
mircea_popescu: young mps idea of what a compiler does was, "well it basically completely unwinds the code, so it's all flat, and then checks everything". then young mp saw the first "runtime error" and locked. then told teacher this isn't real programming and he's not interested.
mircea_popescu: needless to say, the only thing that occurs through osmosis is an unwarranted conviction that she knows how to do it, and a block towards examination.
mircea_popescu: apparently people somehow assume younguns just know this, somehow, through osmosis.
mircea_popescu: and no, northern hemisphere is not exceptional. us especially not exceptional.
mircea_popescu: you would be surprised how many girls have to be taught how to wash.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ie, young brazillian chick WILL have to have her cooking checked for shit, because apparently wash hands is not universally comprehended in brazil.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but yes, part of hte problem with extant c, as a language but more importantly as a paradigm and society, is that there's no way to build trust.
mircea_popescu: trust-but-verify doesn't specifically mean "always check".
mircea_popescu: and yes, i spot check the work of even the most senior girl.
mircea_popescu: aand in other lelz, "I can't imagine any foreigner writing down 3 lines of non error text for my life of it. Greeks are not easy to be mastered and he is using them without a mistake. what is considered to be an exception even in between Greeks."
mircea_popescu: outside of actula hard guarantees (v does not allow writing conflicts), that's all you have.
mircea_popescu: they're both things, devoid of "rights", or importance or anything of that nature. and they're both worse than useless, which is to say eat more than produce.
mircea_popescu: there's no difference between random dude with bizarro identity issues and random lib with bizarro code footprint
mircea_popescu: take the alice character from earlier. the inclination of ~anyone, other than me/us/whatever would be to say "well, let her be, maybe who knows one day does something useful". except it does nothing useful, it only clutters things.
mircea_popescu: tell you what, if we're ever shipwrecked on a deserted island with hillary, we'll fuck hillary.
mircea_popescu: "how about you know, an actual car tyre ?" "sorry bro. use the headphones or build your own store."
mircea_popescu: "this is the tyre store" "do you have tyres ?" "yes, here's an apple audio jack" "this is not a tyre" "allegedly."
mircea_popescu: here's a stray thought : if i can't implement EC in a page on your cryptolib IT IS NOT A LIB!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the very notion of a cryptolib being cryptoimplementation shows stupid at the seams.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger he's working on it, if you didn't guess from all the "scriptable cryptosystem" talk.
mircea_popescu really has little use for the shit currently shipping with c as a stdlib.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, asciilifeform : we'll end up with a v-stdlib won't we ? prolly starting with v-cryptolib as a nucleus.
mircea_popescu: well, bash/quotebot rather than imdb quote db i think.
mircea_popescu: you're going to corrupt all my words people into code people, and then we'll have what, eliza write qntra ?
mircea_popescu: i have a flag about it but it doesn't link to anything apparently so i dunno what i was thinking.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform jus' sayin', it's a little more elbow grease to dump and eat the whole blockchain than to just make a copy
mircea_popescu: btw Framedragger, you realise that once i link you, the bots will notice, and you'll eventually get the phf treatment, a month or w/e later ?
mircea_popescu: but to be perfectly fair - it's pretty much the mental default of bois, so. the 1 in 10ish or so dominant chick is probably a larger percentage of the respective population.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, /me has profile on bdsm site. a good third of the others checking it out are self-styled dominant dudes.
mircea_popescu: ("oh but mp, compiler should check!" "yeah, and your mom should have checked.")
mircea_popescu: half the shit you do with c is check whether something was initialized properly. HALF!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: how do i check if kth of n elements was or was not initialized ? read a list n-1 long ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger the problem of "we'll just initialize in a soup" is a lot deeper than previously thought. in a merciless language like C, the fact that we're the first to come up with the "fucking initialize in alphabetical roder!" is indicative of the brain rot.
mircea_popescu: but hey, reading each other's novellas is the whole fucking point anywya.
mircea_popescu: the problems start when phf will get more people to do knuth style literature
mircea_popescu: for instance. it is, after all, coding. order is not contrary to results.
mircea_popescu: actually fuck, v projects should prolly come with emacs .el file
mircea_popescu: it is prolly best practice to have all serious V projects include a "conventions" file where to list all this. "1. tabs not spaces, bitch!" etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in general people working on the same (large enough as you said) codebase should have the courtesy to use the same spacing and coding conventions etc.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'm not the end all be all in project management for computer software. however, it seems to me "differently arranged lines" is a fucking weird problem to have. really, you can arbitrarily sort programs ? in what language, html ?
mircea_popescu: the only definition of minutia acceptable here is "it's in the stdlib dude"
mircea_popescu is slowly turning into an ancient dragon of the "i hate your kind ; i just don't hate you personally. yet." persuasion.
mircea_popescu: if they put in the extra half hour to write a joint statement of their individual solutions they'd produce code that'd shame gabriel.
mircea_popescu: i am willing to bet you that in any case as we imagine ehre, where two competent coders rushed like teenage athletes to stripper cunt and each implemented slighly variant solutions to the same problem,
mircea_popescu: they put in 80% of the effort, scoop out 20% of the ore.
mircea_popescu: the way i see it is, kids today are like, overexcited.
mircea_popescu: it takes a bit more time, but it guarantees a result MUCH better than current.
mircea_popescu: ah, that sort of conflict is to be resolved talmudically : they both review the code, jointly issue a version./
mircea_popescu: no, in the sense "that's all nice and good, but here's what i still want to do and it's not covered"
