mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo not even sure. the decay was evident in the 90s. might as well say the berlin wall falling did its damage.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i fear that the great cvas society went the way of the cafe society decades prior. people just don't get out enough / maintain social circle enough / whatever for it to wkr.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re "face in salad", all the "party girl" pictures of passed out sluts are degrading NOT for the anglopuritan reasons, but strictly because these adult looking women apparently fail at being not-12.
mircea_popescu: but if you plan to do it for 50 years instead of the usual 30-something, your liver will give out most certainly.
mircea_popescu: the only thing being that life expectancy of "50 something" is too short to make it obvious.
mircea_popescu: also, this is trabajadores regime. strictly no dicksucking anywhere.
mircea_popescu: guy was huge in romania, ever since teenager. he never did anything but sing.
mircea_popescu: no idea what's with the "i'm a professional waiter" arm position, but anywya.
mircea_popescu: 1986 ro clone of frank sinatra, complete with juntos venceremos drip.
mircea_popescu: ie, "this is how i wish to die, the glass by me, the kobza player by me, in an Obor dive, and when the time comes write my testament in red wine. let's get so drunk it shall be remembered."
mircea_popescu: the song goes "uite-asa as vrea sa mor, cu paharul linga mine, cu cobzarul linga mine, intr-o crisma din obor, sa scriu cind o fi momentul cu vin rosu testamentul. sa-i tragem o betie de pomina sa fie"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there was another guy like that. someone shjould make "compile-the rpg"
mircea_popescu: we'll end up with a ring of axxx's working together to mutually inhibit each other so only one thing ends in logs. like retina cells.
mircea_popescu: we'll end up with a ring of axxx's working together to mutually inhibit each other so only one thing ends in logs. like retina cells.
mircea_popescu: we'll end up with a ring of axxx's working together to mutually inhibit each other so only one thing ends in logs. like retina cells.
mircea_popescu: and that rather goes for you too : the log is here to make you less stupid. spend at least 100x as much reading it as you spend writing into it, and certainly do not eat anything in any day you've not read at least a thousand lines.
mircea_popescu: then fuck him. i specifically do not wish to hear anything he has to say.
mircea_popescu: suppose you tell whoever to go through the motions himself.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo "Following the news of a serious RNG bug affecting all GPG versions a low energy shitgnome campaign of apologetics and "not that bad" followed." << can i get a "The fact that hundreds of GPG keys have been Phuctored in the past year has, of course, nothing to do with all this." added ?
mircea_popescu: "On Thursday following their acquisition by Univision, Gawker media announced that their former flagship Gawker.com would be shuttered next week." << lol. "all the 'jouralists' have been reclassified as actresses (which is what they always hoped for anyway), playing ugly betty in the 194 unilever sitcoms currently under production. this translates to a 85% pay increase across the board, and their spoken lines will be drastica
mircea_popescu: that STILL doesn't mean bigtoe typing is going to be well regarded.
mircea_popescu: exactly nothing burns down if you do stupid shit to early v projects, much like exactly nothing burns down if instead of using the keyboard normally, you try typing with your big toes.
mircea_popescu: there's "promise" in the bitcoin protocol that you'll type digits where the digits go.
mircea_popescu: yes, but at some point you will have, in all protocols that actually exist, some level of promise.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i daresay i've seen the sad fruits of "results-oriented programming" for lo these many decades, and in honestly i could have done with a whole lot less of it.
mircea_popescu: anyway - the more general point here, important and boldly underlined, is that WE ARE NOT RESULTS DRIVEN. the "results", factual or probable, certain or disputed, are no part of the fucking decision process.
mircea_popescu: i get it, it's pretty fucking revolutionarily wild, and taken seriously teh mind needs some time to digest the whole thing. not a problem. but in the meanwhile gotta keep things clean so the poor soul actually has a port to come to when he comes.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure he will ; but the important point here is not that as much as the principle of teh thing.
mircea_popescu: mostly because the recorded result is so far pretty fucking distant from itself.
mircea_popescu: tell you what : i remember the process just fine ; has nothing to do with "the recorded result".
mircea_popescu: and wtf with the argumentum ad populum. i care "what people do" about as much as i care about "probable results"
mircea_popescu: the process will not have been equal ; and process interests me. you can go take the results behind a shed and shoot them./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun want this sort of c-ism unix-ism microsoft-ism imported!
mircea_popescu: there's places for flexibility ; but this isn't one. i dun even wanna think about "creative" solutions such as "retrocreate a genesis". just god damned it already, take the code, sign it, and then patch on the basis of that.
mircea_popescu: sure ; and there's multiple people and not everyone's yet mentally comfortable with the whole thing which is why people do the "patch replacing patch" thing.
mircea_popescu: no sale ; no deal and no further discussion. there is A genesis, and everything else obeys this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no "a genesis". for the last fucking time.,
mircea_popescu: and everyone doing that : wouldja stop fucking with the live wires and use the civilised process!
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean we lost your money ? YOU GOT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCT!|
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the trend of calling them "financial products" btw smacks of the whole "they fail at trading but succeed at feeling like a trader". basically western banking is moving into las vegas' niche, which is why that port got sanded.
mircea_popescu: "and as it isn't ready or willing to allow clients to cash out... BANKING IS NOT A TAX (says the SCROTUK)
mircea_popescu: i have eight sets of "sb" (solid branch) : 503 q 222 ; 1466 q 3 ; 973 q 207 ; 983 q 252 ; 1651 q 258 ; 2963 q 189 ; 563 q 22 and 336 q 225. the first number is the count, the second the quality (depends on your mining, whatever) ; you can mix these, the game will floor the average quality. this means you can lose matter through mixing, so you want to mix stacks so as to obtain the highest possible quality final.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's a nice eulora knapsack problem for anyone looking to sharpen their ACTUAL computer science skills :
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so far vpatch production not exactly deluvional in the first place.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ah yeah, there's also deedbot process. how does that work again phf ?
mircea_popescu: so if i want to publish a vpatch today, how do i go about it ?
mircea_popescu: jurov actually, it's still the cannonical way to publish vpatches, no ?
mircea_popescu: the coupla times i used it, i recall it working (after cutting through a mess of operator error).
mircea_popescu: i do of course recall alf throwing a number of hissy fits
