BigTexasBingo: Walk
the mall for 4 minutes, mom spots a coin operated massage chair.
The charlatans make an act out of not finding coins.
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo which reminds me, i was gionna
translate a ro piece
BigTexasBingo: The earlier adventure wasn't just "say hi
to my mom on vidya" so mom believes in
the Gringo
mircea_popescu: obama "change bla bla" --
the platonic superlinear scam.
mircea_popescu: the difference between linear and superlinear scams is
that
the former aren't actually "social reform movements".
mircea_popescu: elementarily -- what happens
to most counterfit currency
mircea_popescu: this altogether depends, buyer of dud may well attempt
to pass it on.
mircea_popescu: "there's
two kinds of scams :
those who work on honest man, and
those who don't. we call
the later superlinear for reasons"
shinohai: !~google "But I used
the juice"
mircea_popescu: myeah. quite,
the best approximation of "what's
the usg all about ?" well... it sells
to idiots
the notion
they're successful scammers.
mircea_popescu: judgement by similarity has rendered a bunch of esltards imagine 1k usd is something
they can afford. ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: chief among
the list --
the notion
that useless 20something dicklet is ever going
to repay six figure debts, as if he's some kind of fucking aeroplane or something.
mircea_popescu: scam of all
time, a horde of useless 20somethinfg dicklets burdened under an immense pile of debt
to "repay" for
the "Service"
they were rendered, which 99% consists of utterly unjustified and absolutely unsustainable self-expectations
mircea_popescu: it's funny how by now
the "idea men" / mit grads notion of bitcoin is closer
to some kind of biological item. "99% pure!!"
mircea_popescu: just putting it in
teh plain
that it works exactly opposite from most items, where it's rather "do it right so i don't have
to have it redone"
shinohai: More shitcoin lulz: "Linda Cryptocoin is a hybrid coin with more
than 70% pure PoS Block reward phase and 99% APR.
This coin comes with a masternode which ensures lightening fast secured
transaction, multi-wallets, encrypted messaging and stealth address for complete anonymity. "
mircea_popescu: note
tho
that i am NOT going
to enforce any kind of responsibility for vtrons.
the item says "MAKE YOUR OWN!!! vtron" for a fucking reason, and
this is
that reason -- if you use another man's parachute package better not be surprised by
the fact he likes
to keep girl undies
there.
mircea_popescu: it's like a hammer
that'll pound a finger it had not necessarily created ifg you put
the finger where it pounds.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 21:49 mod6: based upon some commentary (going by memory here) lead us
to
the decision
to delete
the press directory even if it existed and
then create a new directory even with
the same name and re-press.
Jautenim: even if
the behavour is not changed maybe is it worth documenting
mircea_popescu: well apparently also had correctly set up
table, plugged it right back.
Jautenim: mircea_popescu my issue is
that I had a wrong expectation wrt
the press operation and cut meself a finger
mod6: I
try
to keep docs up
to date. And add protections where
they are needed. Hopefully my vtron is, over
time, getting better. Not worse.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 20:29 BigTexasBingo: Story later, but short is find a Dominican for language immersion and get introduced
to
the mother at a
time I would call
too soon if it wasn't how every chica seems
to operate here
mircea_popescu: can't run around changing ~your~ v
to match obscure config expectation of userbase ; high
time userbase gets literate and walks out of
the "i just wanted
to" mindset.
mod6: and also, fwiw,
that change did not make it into
the normal v document. but did end up in
the changes list in
the email. i'll have
to make a note
to add
that
to
the doc.
mircea_popescu: mod6 eh, user can just read
the v as god meant, know what it does, etc.
mod6: from_ffa: sorry I missed ya on here. but for now, yeah,
that behavior is intended.
mod6: if
this behaviour should be changed, before next release, now is
the
time
to get your opinions heard.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-14 04:35 mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i suppose alternatively could just say DO NOT PRESS
TWICE! DELETE DIR BETWEEN PRESSES. << agree.
there obviously needs
to be a check in
there - if
the press directory already exists, warn
the user and stop.
mod6: based upon some commentary (going by memory here) lead us
to
the decision
to delete
the press directory even if it existed and
then create a new directory even with
the same name and re-press.
☟︎ mod6: <+ben_vulpes> at least ~/workspace << i gotta dig
this up from
the logs. but older versions of v.pl actually *would not* over-write
the original dir, would fail and say 'dir exists' or something.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 20:17 from_ffa: at any rate, if I run "v.pl p ~/workspace ffa_ch1_genesis.vpatch" I expect
to find ffa alongside all other projects. not an empty workspace dir with ffa in it
shinohai wonders how many people running noscript have actually entered something
there.
BigTexasBingo: Story later, but short is find a Dominican for language immersion and get introduced
to
the mother at a
time I would call
too soon if it wasn't how every chica seems
to operate here
☟︎ BigTexasBingo: Any more experienced
travelers know what
the deal is with Latinas and
their mothers?
from_ffa now off
to muck around with gpg and an irc client
from_ffa: consider at least documenting
this, please :)
from_ffa: at any rate, if I run "v.pl p ~/workspace ffa_ch1_genesis.vpatch" I expect
to find ffa alongside all other projects. not an empty workspace dir with ffa in it
☟︎ ben_vulpes: if you want
to patch an existing
tree,
the patch util is
to your left
ben_vulpes: yes, one does not press a patch, one presses a
tree.
from_ffa: so is it really necessary
to nuke
the dest dir when pressing a vpatch? :|
from_ffa: I already did a few years back. and yes,
the gpg key is at hand
from_ffa: a regular lurker of
the chan. just started
to muck around with your ffa series
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
shinohai: Covale` missed
the golden opportunity
to register as Covfefe
Covale: by
the way hello mircea_popescu :)
Covale: I literally never
thought of it until like 5 days ago...
Covale: by
the way, who on earth would already register
this nickname ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, first
type of imperial scar
tissue is "oh, cult" ; but 2nd
type is "oh, famous".
ben_vulpes: Covale:
tard alarms should have fired at unqualified use of "blockchain" as a noun
mircea_popescu: Covale low effort nonsense, failed
to mean anything back in 2015, subsequent rehashes sorta like subsequent hillary clinton bids.
