Mocky: I think I get it but havn't used yet, other than
a trb build from online that didn't require much thinking.

a sane computer already!
mircea_popescu: might tbe
a better route, esp if it delivers
a cheap way to
a tcp-based republican web, to replace the www.
mircea_popescu: no argument there ; also so far, let's just first get
a wrapper.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in another order : an ada prototype for db interaction, at the very least with mysql and postgres, would probably get imported into
a lot of projects. anyone has one unpublished ? anyone wanna write ?

a matter of best practices that's by its nature
a republican standard candidate, so i'd very much like to hear the esteemed lordship.

a refugee from very rural Pakistan who gets relocated to Oslo, Norway, and still thinks that he could make better food if he were only allowed to light
a fire in his living room instead of using that complex electric stove. (This is
a real news item. Every now and then, landlords discover indoor fireplaces and occasionally the “newbies” to civilization burn down the building.)' (herr naggum)
mircea_popescu: yet -- if it works as
a bootstrapper it works as
a bootstrapper ; and if it does not we understand why and wherefore.
mircea_popescu: in any case,
a very tentative possible repoublican alternate machine can be already intuited : if p backend is welded to gcc;s frontends, one can code in ada (or c#, why not), compiler for p-machine and live happily ever after.
mircea_popescu: if peh can be its own bootstrapper quite so transparently nobody notices, then maybe it is actually
a good general purpose bootstrapping tool. maybe.
mircea_popescu: but we are very specifically not discussing what to do to read trilema. we're discussing what to do at
a relatively early stage of bootstrap!
mircea_popescu: because no, this is
a cop-out, "oh, it's arbitrary". like the poorly trained cook, "arbitrary use of tools"
mircea_popescu: obviously (i would hope) i'm not proposing any naive solution will necessarily work well ; i'm just saying that it's not obvious to me
a smart solution isn't available somewhere. in point of fact not merely p, but ~the whole class of things for which it stands as
a most illustrative example~ is, if arguably not new, in any case the continuation of work in fields and along lines neglected for at least three if not more than
mircea_popescu: the dood's historical blackjack playing program is
a better model of "bootstrapper" than what you find in average "systems design" in orclang books.
mircea_popescu will import by reference the story of mel. what "random access", it's onlty random if you don't know what you're doing and at bootstrap phase the item's too close to starting position to have complexity-exploded out of your hands already as
a matter of necessity.
mircea_popescu: and it ~might~ even be
a candidate bootstrap language.
mircea_popescu: but look how it mirrors what we want from
a putative tmsr.php or tmsr.xml or tmsr.tcl or w.e!
mircea_popescu: i suspect though the earlier discussion of "what do we want for
a scripting language" is deeply if unobviously related to "what is bootstrap done by"
bvt: i also don't like how at the 'mes' stage
a linux kernel 'magically' appears as the underlying substrape, while stage0 parts are designed to work without os
bvt: OriansJ in #bootstrappable has
a notion of hygiene (at least basic, ie groks fits-in-head), and still works on the stage0; i had no interaction with janneke (mes author) yet, so can't make claims about him. he does make some noise in the #bootstrappable and #guix
bvt: hello. i did not manage to finish work on mes report part 2 last week, and i don't have
a possibility to do any work this week. i plan to finish it around weekend next week.
mircea_popescu: poor but stupid yankee kids, hearing of something in that vein, imagined the ~same can be obtained not only very cheaply, but importantly using only items accessible -- the only enduring ideology of that place. and so... the yankee is moronic enough to act as if
a feather suffices to be 2nd line english elite.)
mircea_popescu: (likbez : as grand tours became popularized, in the interim before cook's mass commercialization thereof,
a lot of 2nd hand british elite kids were exposed to italian fashion and atmosphere ; gained an appreciation of aforeunknown pasta, ie maccaroni, and started
a whole epicene fashion including ridiculous dress and assorted faggotry.
mircea_popescu: in the words of their national anthem, "he puts
a feather in his cap and calls it macaroni"
mircea_popescu: the latter's
a little more fopish and sophisticated, but then again the former's born in whichever unknown swamp amidst our colonies.
mircea_popescu: so i dunno that there's
a substantial difference, ideologically, between kennan and churchill.
mircea_popescu: i don;t have
a very clear view of patton ; but churchill is exactly as much
a socialist as the whole temperance movement. he was unequivocally identified as such by ~all contemporaries, what, just because dumb soviet kid never heard of churchill other than for one newspaper notice dated 1945 this means something ? by the time hitler came to power churchill had been an openly socialist politician for
a decade+

a political instrument, Soviet Russia might be changed overnight from one of the strongest to one of the weakest and most pitiable of national societies."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "On the principle of infallibility there rests the iron discipline of the Communist Party. In fact, the two concepts are mutually self-supporting. Perfect discipline requires recognition of infallibility. Infallibility requires the observance of discipline. And the two go far to determine the behaviorism of the entire Soviet apparatus of power.

mircea_popescu: how do you say "burghezo-mosieresc" in ru ? term as in "Despre politica externă antinațională
a guvernelor burghezo-moșierești din România, în timpul politicii imperialiste de așa-zisă 'neintervenție' "
mircea_popescu: in
a sense, the children have taken over the insane asylum -- to anyone outside they make just as good mental patients as the older ones ; but inside they move quicker and are more vivacious, which are natural advantages.
mircea_popescu: because, specifically, reds have
a lot more trouble dealing with alterity than blues. the blue has little trouble with alterity because they're mostly mentally retarded, no strong notions of self.
mircea_popescu: hanbot, it's not even coincidental that the pantsuit used "ts" as in trans-sexualism to liberate themselves from the traditional ("reds") socialist mindset and erupt like puss from
a scab.
mircea_popescu: socialist accounting of costs is
a thing of wonder. obviously no such thing as 0-cost exists in nature, but they're ideal sorta folk.
