esthlos: hmm...is
there a way for reflow not
to break diff...
mircea_popescu: esthlos because if put in separate places
they'll automatically personalize ; hence
the blogposts comment.
scriba: Logged on 2018-01-05: [19:03:26] <mircea_popescu> as i say -- i see no way out here ; we'll end up with
the v-code + blog-commentary ostrich-camel and god help us./
mircea_popescu: "now we're getting somewhere" better predictor of failure ; and
there being english names anywhere inside
the item -- almost perfect predictor.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to what pantsuit may be whispering in ear, "here i am, with
this 10lb book of which i can read not a word" is a very poor predictor of failure.
mircea_popescu: and, for completeness : leaning german off kant is perfectly acceptable manner of learning german altogether, for
the sufficiently intelligent ; much like learning greek off homer.

they had all sorts of (utterly nonsensical) "cars of
the future",
their features being
that
they were "warlike" (in a dysfunctional, anti-mechanicistic, looks-are-everything-and-hot-beats-cute girl pov) and
that
they had mechanisms exposed
mircea_popescu: what
the everloving fuck already, car-paintjob-toenails-sunscreen-beachbod.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's a place where he was integrated into
the borg, but it's a dubious weld.
mircea_popescu: but yes -- russian
translations of kant, fichte, heidegger, husserl, spinoza, frege absolutely acceptable ; heck, even ro ones are fine. french is getting iffy.
mircea_popescu: hey,
there's plenty, just not really on
the
topic [i inferred him
to have] asked.
mircea_popescu: absolute ban on english as an avenue
to
this much in
the same way absolute ban
to barking as an avenue
to opera. i don't care if you're a dog and i don't care if barking comes naturally
to you
mircea_popescu: so do not fucking dare read anything having any ENGLISH SOUNDING NAMES anywhere at any point involved, which includes
the fucking best grip.

than
the lovely "if you launched all pantsuit in outer space, do you expect seti would manage
to find any ?" putdown, valuable lesson from naggum : inept bureaucrats / insufferable cucks / other "people

try
to barnacle
their inept nonsense (in original, scheme) on pre-existing "brand" (as
they perceive it ; in
the original -- lisp) for

mircea_popescu: and since
this was mentioned : "kantian ethics", ie

their attempt

to
the man's work as newtonian alchemy is relevant
to newton's work.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 17:50 lobbes: In other incidental preguntas: mircea_popescu, can you recommend good "introductory" reading on
the subject of
thought classification? It seems like
the obvious fundamental
to improving my cognitive processes
ben_vulpes: figured
that you would find it eventulolly

the fuck he is!!! ie,
the world's heavyweight champion. ayer explained
that he's
the ex wykeham professor of logic, and since
they're both pre-eminent in
their respective fields, how about
they indulge in discourse rather
than intercourse. oddly enough
tyson accepted, and naomi campbell slipped out -- apparently undamaged enough by
the experience
to actually do
those not-even-terrible shots with madonna.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 00:00 asciilifeform: i'ma summarize
the v
thing : if you have a proposed new v algo ; and it would
turn my 1kB patches into 1MB, and my readable 3 lines into 100kLoc of ?#@%$*(@%% , and my
trivial machine-diff-verifiable changes into 'why dontcha sit for 5 years doing eyeball-powered diff' -- it is NOT an improvement. and i won't
touch it. sign it. sign anything made on it. etc
trinque: there are
two questions conflated here; 1) what is
the expected state of
the patient and 2) what is
to be done
to him
trinque: by simply naming
the files
that would've received
the junk-comments as antecedents, with hash of
their expected state
trinque: I proposed
two schemes
to better model it, and actually like
the second better. one was including
the entire concatenation's hash in a vpatch.
the second was being able
to name arbitrary antecedent files without
the requirement
that diff material follows
trinque: you are *already* naming arbitrary antecedents in
this ad hoc manner of ~meaningless~ junk edits
that do not well convey why
they happened by sitting
there.
trinque: it's certainly easier
to criticize
that way, isn't it
ben_vulpes: but
this is
the magic political speshul case of a patch
that
ties
together other patches for
the political object
that is a release!
trinque: ben_vulpes: don't cloud
the politics with facts!
trinque: second, does my memory deceive or did
the
thing end up with a comment in an *unrelated file*
trinque: first off, I wrote
the makefiles, mod6 modified. speaking of political fog.
ben_vulpes: ehehehentirely unrelatedly, asciilifeform, what's with
the odd capitalization of mUx in ch4?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-05 23:48 asciilifeform: srsly i dunget why all of you lot so much want
to break v. it WORKS.
ben_vulpes: not going
to go break everything, at least
today.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: arguing has honed how i see
the problem at least
ben_vulpes: can dig
trench here or
ten feet sideways, literally does not matter
to me.
ben_vulpes: i'm going
to
tap out, will wait for mircea_popescu
to pour some more fuel on
this one.
trinque: hasn't yet been any reason someone benefits by having your edit
to maxlocks but having done something batshit
to say, a file db.cpp depends upon
trinque: there can be multiple
trees just fine in
that world
trinque: the more constraints against idiocy
the better.
trinque: we come
to a deep political disagreement
there
ben_vulpes: the point
that
trinque is making is
that you can change other files in such a way
that ruins maxint_locks
trinque: I am not going
to sidestep onto
that point. I made one, have anything
to say
to it?
trinque: I do not need
to edit
the fucking
thing
to depend on a particular state of it
trinque: to date no one has critiqued
that view directly.
