pete_dushenski: "There is
a signicant gender earnings gap in Denmark which persists when comparing men and women in the same occupation at the same firm. Many economists have run regressions to decompose the wage gap into whatever can be explained by observable differences between men

a look at posting it somewhere.
adlai wonders when tide rising out from s.mpoe will overflow elsewhere... could be
a nice change!
nubbins`: adlai it's totally possible that it may not be possible to build
a working client w/o hardcoded exceptions to shit that nobody realizes is broken yet
adlai: please refrain from moving goalposts in the direction of tolerating
a shittierd turdatron :)
nubbins`: anyway, to bind
a 300-page book via this method would produce
a wonderful lay-flat tome, and only take smth like 13 hours
adlai hazards
a guess that most anything c++ doesn't pass the "worth killing trees to print" test
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 32 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours, 16 minutes, and 55 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it
a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: After staring at this commitment string for
a little while, we suspected (or, if you prefer, we had
a divine inspiration) that the first 10 digits might represent the ISBN number of
a published book.
assbot: Logged on 05-12-2015 04:25:09; mircea_popescu: the spec accounts for this, that there should be
a hook there. otherwise i fully expect most people will just use the standard dictionary if they ever use the mode at all.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. the hooks to use the tool any way you might want is
a part of
a well designed tool. this is why
a hammer comes with the hook at the other end for pulling out nails, even for hammers you buy to only hurt your fingers with.
mircea_popescu: now, you can in practice have "prior agreement after the fact", to use the consecrated legal concept (ie, if someone tells you what to use after you got the file, but you "know" it's right because it decrypts to something meaningful). but this doesn't seem much of
a variation.

liquidassets: NO MP you said it about shame being
a personal thing like guilt..or something. About the girl walking down the street feeling shame or not..

ascii_field: 'PS. If you got this far you just read 818 words that I wrote late one night after midnight with
a tired jack russell passed out in my lap. Thank you for being interested in what we are doing.'
phf: mircea_popescu: in x11, wm is
a separate process, so it should fall under usual scheduling rules. i.e. if it misbehaves, kernel will take control away from it
ascii_field: speaking of this, i dreamed last night that i was playing
a pc game called 'plague', where you are - as printed on the crate -
a fella trying to escape from plague, and score points also for containing the spread thereof in various ways
ascii_field: 'Otherwise, the hour-long meeting is sober and revealing,
a brief window on the culture. For one thing, 12 of the 22 people in the room are women, many of them senior managers or senior technical staff. The on-board shuttle group, with its stability and professionalism, seems particularly appealing to women programmers.'

a thing.
kakobrekla: John Munson,
a software engineer and professor of computer science at the University of Idaho, is not quite so generous. "Cave art," he says. "It's primitive. We supposedly teach computer science. There's no science here at all."
kakobrekla: "It's like pre-Sumerian civilization," says Brad Cox, who wrote the software for Steve Jobs NeXT computer and is
a professor at George Mason University. "The way we build software is in the hunter-gatherer stage."
mircea_popescu: so... yeah. all con men start by breaking
a minor taboo of this sort. the widest known is the "make money" derp, who can't cease talking about how much money he made bla bla.
mircea_popescu: 2. conversely, all confidence games are predicated on the same process : "is it called
a confidence game because i'm supposed to give you my confidence ?" "no. because i give yo umine".
mircea_popescu: the same exact incentives exist to attack all of these. consequently, there exists exactly no incentive for
a miner to advertise ; and strong incentive not to.
mircea_popescu: yeah. just saying, if someone's claiming to be
a miner, odds are they're
a scammer.
OZmaster: i didnt mean as advertisement was just so
a question
Presstrump: OZmaster, no, they pretty much talk about how everything BTC related is
a scam.
OZmaster: just

mircea_popescu: can't update cursor position until i have
a hash of all the 50000 icons i put in that folder.
phf: it's usually handling millions of other interrupts, and then the scheduler needs to decide "oh there's some mouse events, maybe i should prioritize them
a bit"
mircea_popescu: this shouldn't be
a problem, except they're written by ustarded children, and so they expect everything all the time or else drop to the floor and cry
phf: trinque:
a combination of system calls and interrupts, but it's up to scheduler to decide what to do and when. "handling some other interrupt" is usually not the bottle neck
mircea_popescu: and what the everloving fuck would you do with the mouse on
a server
mircea_popescu: trinque i've not yet observed the mouse cursor lagging on any system that i can recall since mice became
a thing.
☟︎ phf: on
a console you want operator issued commands to have priority over everything else, i don't think this has anything to do with the kernel. there was
a set of patches for linux that gave scheduling priority to x11, and generally was supposed to make system much more responsive from operator side of things. guy quit over "giant co server needs decide what goes into kernel, i'm done"
trinque: as I understand it these preemption systems incur
a great deal of additional complexity, and some wise folks might say keeping *that* to
a minimum is of the greatest importance.
trinque: if you want
a realtime and preemptable kernel go have it
trinque: pete_dushenski: that guy started trying to spin
