mircea_popescu: is
this like... V before V, ie, all-the-disadvantages-and-no-more ?
phf: "then
told me
that I had
to abandon my cleanup work and start over on his
tree, and explain everything
to his satisfaction (as a Windows guy) before it could go in"
phf: that explains why when i
tried building it it was chasing compatibility bugs down a rabbit hole
BingoBoingo: Gracias. Ought
to be a valuable cultural immersion experience.
mircea_popescu: funny how
the "days gone by" immediately reconstruct
themselves just as soon as one ditches
the rotten principles preventing
them.
diana_coman: heh, in good old
traditions of a long-gone world and age, eulorans are rather suspicious of change and
they aren't old even!!
mircea_popescu: but look on
the bright side danielpbarron : if
that process ain't making you a scientist, nothing will.
mircea_popescu: i just get pissy when my brilliant ideas can't be implemented like,
the next day.
danielpbarron: who is saying
that about eulora? i'm not in any rush. whenever
there is a drastic change it makes me more nervous
than excited, because now I gotta re-figure everything out again
mircea_popescu: "mp, why isn't your infinite world update, announced LAST YEAR, live yet ?!?!" "because ints don't work on computers. also because merely rewriting
the crypto layer ain't fucking enough. and also because FUCK YOUR UGLY ASS MOTHER AND
THE IDIOT DRUNKS SHE KEEPS FUCKING, FUCKO!"
diana_coman: so I just did a quick curl for latest gpg, 2.2.4; at least in name ~everything is changed ofc, but it's a load of lol
to do a plain grep -r "workaround" .
diana_coman: asciilifeform, myeah, I suspect it's still widely used in fact; if I get any
time I'll
take a peak at latest I suppose
diana_coman: thing is now I'm even *less* comfortable using
that whole mpi
thing... makes me wonder what else is in
there and not yet spotted
diana_coman: for
the very impatient: caller fails on
the cases where it uses
that broken macro i.e. any shift by a multiple of BITS_PER_MPI_LIMB; 0 is just one case, not
the only one; further up, caller avoids
the issue, as stated
BingoBoingo: cable, and satellite providers, as well as
to consumer smartphones
through
the Wireless Emergency Alert system," reports Android Police. From
the report"
BingoBoingo: First
they make mantadory annoyance broadcast in old country when children go missing, now: "The FCC recently announced a new alert program called "Blue Alert"
that will notify
the public of
threats
to law enforcement in real
time. "With
the creation of a dedicated Blue Alert event code in
the Emergency Alert System, state and local law enforcement will have
the capability
to push immediate warnings out
to
the public via broadcast,
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed
ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of
the result options is given, returns only
that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns
ticker for
that
three-letter currency code. It is up
to you
to make sure
the code is a valid (1 more message)
phf: right,
traditional games, like
throwing discus and wrestling
phf: plan9 rewrote
their soelim as a shell script..
trinque: ah
the udev rules
thing; asciilifeform's solution would be better
trinque: asciilifeform:
thought I
touched something in
there
that does it
phf: mircea_popescu: well
they've believed in
the whole "single
tool for a job"
thing back
then, and yes it was a hack (not in a sense
that soelim is such a
tool, but in a sense
that
tools
that soelim is a glue between poorly designed
tools)
trinque: (the other cut of
the lilo
thing is
to simply say "thou shalt not have other drives plugged in when cuntoo is spawning)
trinque: if anybody knows
the answer
to
that riddle,
the rest of
the "reproduction" is
trivial copying of files
mircea_popescu: and ftr,
there's no excuse
to EVEN HAVE soelim at all ; let alone as a standalone wtf
phf: mircea_popescu: well, ~i've~ found something
to hate, so i joined
the fray
trinque: real quick, only serious
thing missing from
the cuntoo script is commanding lilo
to ignore all devices but
the
target disk.
mircea_popescu: is
the hate stirll
travelling or is it merely a universe-zsized ball of hate ?
phf: i've actually recently went
through an exercise of
trying
to spin up knuth's plain
tex as a standalone
typesetting system. it's nearly impossible
phf: what
trinque said,
there's no "straight latex", it's 1.6gb of liquishit
mircea_popescu: fuck,
they could be html and it'd be better
than
this nonsense.
mircea_popescu: phf hate was re
two
things. a) i utterly failed
to parse z(item) into (item) so hated ; and b) soelim was a dirty hack [atop a meanwhile pointless item].
phf: mircea_popescu: but
the factuals are not necessarily under dispute (~soelim~ is not a phototypesetter is what i said). original hate was against "never seen
this wrecker
thing before",
then when new fangled
thing
turned out
to be an old
tool, hate shifted
to 1960 phototypesetters. methinks
the point is a
traveling one..
trinque: lacks
the whole reproductive bit
trinque: here, I'll go ahead and post
this early, if we're abandoning ship.
mircea_popescu: phf let's stick
to factuals. 1. is groff or is groff not a "free and open" gnu
theft of
troff ; 2. was or was not groff a
thinly veiled excuse by at&t coders who wanted a pdp
to get it, because "they'll make a patents editing system" ? 3. did
they or did
they not simply copy roff, 1960s era item ?
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what
to say, we're like multiple cycles deep into rhetoric here, inception style. i will say
though, all
this misdirected hate can't be good for digestion, i fear for asciilifeform, he might crack under questioning
mircea_popescu: they used
to shoot chain at enemy ships in
the age of sail!
to destroy
them!
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking metal chain.
they make industrial abrasives out of chain.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck can he do
that ? does he have NO sensitivity whatsoever ?
mircea_popescu: you know
they actually say "a rear"
there when
they mean area ?
trinque: oh you mean method by which? no idear; I bet everyone's mother wants
them.
mircea_popescu: zs is a
transliteration of a sound in some language i speak, it got eaten as such
mircea_popescu: i honestly didn't even fish "soelim" out of
the zsazsagabordaemon
mircea_popescu: what is prepending z even supposed
to denote ? zdumb ?
phf: to be fair soelim is part of
troff suite going back
to bill joy's original. i suspect zsoelim is some recent groff addition.
mircea_popescu: the greatest
trick
the devil ever pulled was convincing people
they can't possibly say "to hell with ye"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-20 03:17 asciilifeform:
trinque: forget autoconf flags. i want
to disable
the generation or loading of dyn libs, period.
mircea_popescu: there's literally an "utility"
to munge dots into filenames.
trinque: must be organ-chopping week. first
trb wallet, now musl dynloader and gcc linker
trinque: why would anyone want
that.
trinque: of course, not everyone implemented
the static use flag.
