asciilifeform: just went around, mousin', for rest of his days.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the mouse that got out of your bottle probably did not 'do anything' also.

asciilifeform: complete with the obligatory weary dr. brin face.

asciilifeform: teaching physics to collegiate imbeciles.

asciilifeform: went back to old trade he knew from su.

asciilifeform: though i knew an old dude who picked poverty and hunger over that new 'bell labs.'

asciilifeform: ditch dug around'em, now welcome to your 'island' .

asciilifeform: heemeyer-style

asciilifeform: big morgues, where they parked the lamports.

asciilifeform: even bell labs.

asciilifeform: believe or not, even xerox parc still exists. in this mode.

asciilifeform: in this case, 'microshit research'

asciilifeform: adlai: he got 'tenured' at one of those prestige farms where usg (via various muppetronics) pays eminent old folk to avoid being dangerous

asciilifeform: adlai: you do know what happened to lamport, right ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't speak for others, but i've never even ~heard~ of any of these folk, nor read their spew, until this year. ☟︎

asciilifeform: pertinent.

asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/02prx/?raw=true << whole lamport thing , as found in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=41, de-pdfulated

asciilifeform: for being a bunch of retarded pygmies

asciilifeform: it just drops on'em

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu , nobody wants this ! any more than they 'want' ringworm.

asciilifeform: 'When people who can’t think logically design large systems, those systems become incomprehensible. And we start thinking of them as biological systems.' -- from lamport's 'The Future of Computing: Logic or Biology' (2003)

asciilifeform: adlai: 'little schemer' by sussman. but again i cannot recommend doing this to just 'friend'

asciilifeform: it won't work on someone you aren't fucking, there will not be the necessary patience.

asciilifeform: it only works in my experience on gurlz

asciilifeform: adlai: yes.

asciilifeform: other thing, trinque, is that interpreters won't be breaking any speed records.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it runs on a unix, there'll be glue. by the pound.

asciilifeform: the empty sheet of paper + the standard is a good alternative.

asciilifeform: trinque: also it isn't a given that tinyscheme is necessarily the best starting point for implementing a civilized scheme

asciilifeform: trinque: i recommend to pull up mine, rather than the heathen one, but the difference is not large

asciilifeform: adlai: i think all of the gentlemen present 'get off on the screams', yes

asciilifeform: http://oglaf.com/insummary <<

asciilifeform: lel didn't oglaf do a special on this one

asciilifeform: no wonder this thing was shot in the head and left to die in a shallow grave.

asciilifeform: ahahahaha

asciilifeform: ^ do we need to read past this ?

asciilifeform: ## [Peter Van Eynde, September 1998] ##

asciilifeform: ## Recompiling CMUCL is not an exact science... ## ☟︎

asciilifeform: the sleep of fits-in-head breeds monsters.

asciilifeform: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3244575386963745@naggum.no.html << obligatory bathtub rocket

asciilifeform: adlai: originally

asciilifeform: ( for n00bz/readers - yes, the compiler of sbcl was in fact called 'python'... quite a bit prior to the scripting language )

asciilifeform: (the compiler in sbcl)

asciilifeform: adlai: presumably you are speaking of the older python ?

asciilifeform: purple quicker than three ?

asciilifeform: is a shoe quicker than a blade of grass ?

asciilifeform: trinque: the title of the article is retarded.

asciilifeform: read moar shitcombinator.

asciilifeform: trinque: nfi where, it is the fastest cl i've personally used, hands-down (hand-massaged certain items in it to beat the shit out of cpp original, even)

asciilifeform: so the thing isn't really automatic, but semi-?

asciilifeform: or does it simply ring a bell.

asciilifeform: how does it withdraw the coin, to put elsewhere

asciilifeform: well suppose robot finds that btce is falling through the floor

asciilifeform: how the hell does it arbitrage ?

asciilifeform: or is this not a thing yet

asciilifeform: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160917/#61 << conspicuously absent are whatever mechanisms used for moving coin between the arenas

asciilifeform: it demands a gcc for pass1

asciilifeform: so i have nfi what mythos yer thinking of

asciilifeform: adlai: i think everybody knows this

asciilifeform: when the thing barfs randomly, and underperforms in unpredictable ways.

asciilifeform: well from adlai's description in earlier thread, it sounds as if 'the time' had already come

asciilifeform: link?

asciilifeform: whether scalpl or mpb.

asciilifeform: anyway i won't be debugging folks' seeeekrit codez over whispers and winks.

asciilifeform: vomitronic.

asciilifeform: ~hlrph~

asciilifeform: ewww does your thing call out to openssl?!

asciilifeform: not even, as in phf's case, calling exotic gpg-via-ffi crapola

asciilifeform: sounds like it's just throwing packets

asciilifeform: adlai: i dun think i've ever used anything above 1

asciilifeform: it takes, what, all of 10 or so hrs, pumping via a direct link

asciilifeform: if the node dies, i can bake another.

asciilifeform: fwiw i pretty much always kill -9 it.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you read the code, you will notice that trb is, at most times of 'very very busy bee', quite unready to react to rpc command because one of the global locks is engaged.

asciilifeform: about the dancer.

asciilifeform: unless folks ~publish~ the magical bug-inducers, i am inclined to agree with the old iddish proverb

asciilifeform: or wat.

asciilifeform: or was this post-poettering sbcl

asciilifeform: adlai: did you ffi out something other than merely the socket handling ?

asciilifeform: and it was plugged into a bank of tcp to serial (yes) converters, even.

asciilifeform: i had it drive 20kg of stainless steel turning on a dime, for hours on end, real-time, and experienced no such nonsense.

asciilifeform: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160917/#15 << and holy fuck adlai what sbcl were you using, and for what.

asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/ident?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option&_i=fShutdown

asciilifeform: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160916/#437 << sounds like a recipe for coke machine, not favours from jailer

asciilifeform: what, i mean, is an altatron.

asciilifeform: et tu scribabrute?!

asciilifeform: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160916/#441 << and what's this

asciilifeform: well, on a list of 'the four seeekrit evidences', stoolies, nsatronics , parallel construction, and ????. So what's ???? ... telepathy? magic 8ball?

asciilifeform: (the latter usually shits out pages-denied count)

asciilifeform: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/dea-vaughn-index-10335/#file-16280 << lel, tighter lips than nsa on typical day

asciilifeform: ^ perhaps ~that~ is the subj of link !!

asciilifeform: neh, the other tract

asciilifeform: they're being fucked, from reverse end

asciilifeform: well, theoretically, 'reverse penetration'

asciilifeform: and theoretically cunt engine can work just as well on 'out' stroke as 'in', eh?

asciilifeform: but 'medical fetish' is a not wholly unknown thing

asciilifeform: not necessarily

asciilifeform: and not just the 'gore', but complete kit, with chix 'butterflying' themselves while they spray it out, etc

asciilifeform: and didn't mircea_popescu tells us about some chick who had one every other month or the like
