mircea_popescu: back when i was younger i wrote twenty articles a week!
mircea_popescu: she's ~ in the position of argentina's ex-chief-whore.
mircea_popescu: honestly i give it even odds the whole affair ends up with hillary behind bars.
mircea_popescu: all he has to do is the traditional 1936 "march in defense of values" bla bla.\
mircea_popescu: how many ? 10k ? 100 ? 1mn ? only one way to find out.
mircea_popescu: note that many people drove over to defend weirdo cattle farmer.
mircea_popescu: nra's existence is not mega seekrit, among numerous other such things. much like sa's existence was not secret, but also not relevant. the commies had bigger and for that reason supposedly better paramilitaries.
mircea_popescu: and why not ? the way these things work, "everyone knew" what the sa was up to. except, of course, for everyone, from pappen down.
mircea_popescu: were you part of "modern democracy" ? you're crow food.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what trump is gonna do ; maybe he hangs everyone ever involved with the democratic party. maybe he doesn't. if i end up in power however - i do.
mircea_popescu: yes. but any individual thinking himself protected because "government told me so" will still hand.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is "log onto the internet" supposed to fucking mean ? aol ?
mircea_popescu: if i for some reason decide to review this movie, there goes about 60% of all the google juice and thus existence of the whole anglotard appropriation effort.
mircea_popescu: "So XEmacs has never been a particularly good tool for serious Emacs users because even though it's written in C, it crashes like a mature C++ application." mwahahaha
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "At the risk of predicting future fashion trends, which is rarely a good idea, I'll venture that objects are going to continue to be trendy for at least a few more decades. So I think Lisp needs some form of "seamless" OOP." and all that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the original linked lisp verbiage was funny to me mostly because it's all written from the perspective of "object oriented is god". which was very much groupthink cca 2006.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but stallman wanted to wait n years for some ivy league product.
mircea_popescu: no, actually, actually architect wanted to just adapt a bsd
mircea_popescu: this is a communist government ; the only cure is grave.
mircea_popescu: "It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms." << arguably its most notable accomplishment to date.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "The GNU Hurd is under active development. Because of that, there is no stable version." << cca may 2016
mircea_popescu: this isn't no kids left behind club ; but on the contrary.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's rather evident that there's a mutually-reinforcing ring of idiots. check out yegge's wikipedia article, for instance. curated with love.
mircea_popescu: it's mildly shocking to see the whole pile of supposed lisp experts who are actually not known to have written, let alone run, any lisp.
mircea_popescu: yeah well... if only the original authors of the us had a way to prevent the current fucktards from using it in a way they hadn't anticipated.
mircea_popescu: apparently the yudkowsky fellow pod' his atrocious fanfic.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck bother looking for a work. redditards, lesswrongians, you name it.
mircea_popescu: in other news, good god how can these idiots be so fucking tedious.
mircea_popescu: seems pertinent, if compressed into just a coupla years.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well some of us have to do that as adults.
mircea_popescu: i thought they're just doing that weird voice deliberately
mircea_popescu recently found out why ~all the casters in 1920/1930s sound the fucking same.
mircea_popescu: yes they weren't originally digitized. if you think 1960s microphones and buzzy electronics make for a better quality...
mircea_popescu: this seems altogether a dubious proposition seeing how for all the wankery now surrounding them, vinyl records are industrial mass products ; from a time when 8kbps was a lot.
mircea_popescu: stupidity on an epic scale not only didn't end carly fiorina's career among her own kind - but actually made her hillary's best friend
mircea_popescu: this stimulates a lot of outright insane behaviour in large companies.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller here's a little understood bit of corporate insanity : if a dying company dies normally, it is assumed the ceo & co were idiots ; if it dies as a result of doing something large and monunemtally stupid, it is assumed the ceo & team were brave souls who caught a bad break.
mircea_popescu: "older" being the keyword. what happened to you know, "better".
mircea_popescu: that the same will occur to "smart" phones was expected.
mircea_popescu: for anyone who spent childhood around kids comparing the "waterproofness" of their watches, by meter depth - esp kids who never went into water
