mircea_popescu: i can'
t begin to describe how infinitely more mindnumbingly boring some moron derping on about priviledge, women's rights, blacks whatevers is when compared to any old bitty that wants to talk of nothing but cheap meals and best way to make prune jam.

ave1: it's part of the cross compiler (under aarch64-linux-musl/aarch64-linux-musl/lib directory). The compilers assume it will live under /lib/ld.so, so that part won'

BigTexasBingo: We don'

phf: but at the same time i suspect that the hostel in question doesn'
t for example have mosquito nets on bed frames, so it's possible that nigger runs deep in this particular case.

☝︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: By the time the fuckers leave there is a disturbingly high chance everything that isn'

trinque: doesn'

mircea_popescu: you know you've run this thing in a pretty confusing manner! there's like... 3 roots people don'
t know which to pick ?
mircea_popescu: "here's a black box", howsoever implemented in practice, "really lengthy patch you don'

pinochle: begin with a small, reliable contribution, don'

a111: Logged on 2018-04-29 14:58 mircea_popescu: yes, it was. to summarize, careful what you do with your patches, in the following sense : if diana_coman doesn'
t CONTINUE your patch, it will have to be reground later. as she's a human being with other problems and interests than folding in your alt universe, it helps IMMENSELY if you make your patches small and readable.
BingoBoingo: Their answer to that point is that "the company" cares. They aren'
t very clear on that leading me to suspect they are human trafficking chattel brought in on a sort of year long vacation package which gives them an allowance while "the company" milks the money from the "teaching" on at least a couple sides.
mircea_popescu: i'll grant it's a little difficult to guess what's going on from far away. if you don'
t say anything people are going to eventually assume something random.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hard to pick the relevant transforms from the box, what can i say. if this weren'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: don'
t be too harsh on self ; item is deliberately made in such a way that not-quite-coincidentally is SO VERY CONTRARY to "common wisdom", unwrapping all the corners into head takes a while.
mircea_popescu: esthlos, you wouldn'
t make it a patch on genesis unless you were trying to signal your disdain for diana_coman 's work so far.
diana_coman: (we don'
t have anything else to use so use the pile of shit, yes)
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what i was trying to say there. that's not the first time i cold emailed someone, and also not the last one. i'm just making sure s/n doesn'

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-26#1805634 << i emailed chromeunboxed.com guy "Robby Payne" on recommendation "they will know", haven'

douchebag: Haven'

BingoBoingo will confess to seeing the first English language (spanish subtitles) showing of what the authors call "Avengers: Infinity War" Eating one of the local "magic" baked goods
T-1 hour before showing, and spending most of the time Thanos wasn'

BingoBoingo: The Mexicans like to work, inevitably turn great again. That's why Pantsuit is trying to lure the ones who didn'

trinque: I don'
t see an extra shell in there, unless they hand-off via "exec"
jurov: for example, if sbcl ran the command using shell, this would have side effect of actually running touch: (run-program "ls" '("`touch /tmp/evil`") :SEARCH
T)
jurov: trinque (run-program "ls" '() :SEARCH
T)
jurov: No, you don'
t need shell to execute other programs.
trinque: jurov: can'
t blame the forklift when it runs over the operator
trinque: isn'
t "rm -rf /" the correct type?
phf: but you don'
t even have to jump through the hoops of escaping, most lisp's run program implementations, uiop including, support passing in command as a list of strings, which are in turn handled properly by the underlying machinery
a111: Logged on 2018-04-27 12:59 spyked: the post doesn'
t purport to be a guide in correct common lisp programming (issues with those functions are explicitly discussed at the end). anyway, trinque, what's wrong with format?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-15 15:08 phf: i think asdf is evil, version 3 is doing some straight up systemd shit. for those who don'
t know asdf 3 comes with fare's own portability layer called uiop, which in a very systemd agressive and underhanded style is superseding existing utility libraries.

☟︎ trinque: wtf. you're using format?! yet used uiop, but didn'

mircea_popescu: exactly like i don'

mircea_popescu: i do not even for a second believe they don'

mircea_popescu: heretics joining them -- well they utterly fucking deserve everything they get, don'

a111: Logged on 2018-04-26 17:03 mircea_popescu: and so is the situation here, the management cost of the general purpose solution you propose by so far drowns out any possible benefit of "hey, alf had to learn something, instead of relying on his assumptions" you can'
t imagine.
mircea_popescu: your problem isn'
t "postregs 10.0". your problem is exactly what i told you yest -- you want support for your recursion exposed by a fucking declarative lang. wtf.
mircea_popescu: the ticket to insanity is trying to adapt systems for the benefit of those who didn'
t want to use them in the first place.
mircea_popescu: it's not worth much to you, ands this because you don'
t want to write postgres.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: you understand this ? your car ALSO doesn'
t expose injector timings to you. i don'
t care you think you'd do a better job by hand. the direction's been away froim the fucking clutch, even. i personally own a car running tiptonic gearbox and girl who's an excellent stick driver, and she STILL prefers the autoclutch. because the machine does it way the fuck better, what.
phf: mircea_popescu: the ones that don'
t tend to be contracted by large postgresql users, but then the incentive is fucked up, because large postgresql users have already worked around the well known voodoo cases and want fancy new features instead, that run orthogonal to core (and in a very high level architectural sense are often the result of the core's "voodoo" limitations)
mircea_popescu: yeah, and this tower of pancake would have broken and i wouldn'
t use it.
phf: i suspect that's it's my favorite SAT, mapping declarative problems to an optimal imperative solution is NP, but nobody approaches it that way anyway, instead it's heuristics which have specific failure modes on case by case basis. ascii can see see the "obvious" derivation of optimal imperative solution from declarative code, but postgresql's compiler can'
t mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, seems to me you can always fill the cracked moduli table at the time you announce them to deedbot. shouldn'
t lock your main moduli table in being a diff table.
mod6: shouldn'
t have been a problem with row-level locking neh?
mircea_popescu: i can'
t see how this could possibly work ?! so you made a special, "this is where we copy cracked moduli" table, and inserted into it, and this slowed your querties on your main table ?
mircea_popescu: which is why i don'
t agree "wild west ie wisconsin in 1860" is "braindamaged". notwithstanding the sheer lack of convenience stores.
mod6: So, don'
t mind looking at it, just don'
t wanna be responsible for it :]
mod6: Most of these need not exist. But, alas, sacred cow. Na na na na. Can'
t touch this.
mod6: I kinda like trying to performance tune databases a bit... just as long as I don'
t have to "own" the db.
mircea_popescu: and since most people a) have to deal with "idea men", ie dorks whose undisciplined mental process was never really checked by reality and b) don'
t ever have the authority to tell them off... well... of course the result is temptation to suicide.
mod6: "OMG YOU CAN'
T PUT IN KEYS!? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!1"
trinque: mircea_popescu had it, industrial machinery, organizes gigantic sets, does a few things to make sure the wad isn'
t lost.
ben_vulpes: "can never demonstrate the absence of bugs" notwithstanding, i don'
t know why folks don'
t slow down and test that their deliverables do what they claim before making claims
mircea_popescu: there's a very deep link between "putin doesn'
t understand how the world works ; notwithstanding which he stole our election" and "cell (5,7) on your screen".
mircea_popescu: yes well, not everyone's an asshole. i don'
t recall the last time someone came up with the idea of assaulting ro embassies.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously, most hoppable fence of them all so far. Except well, Panama but they don'
t have a fence at all. Front door opens into the street.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 16:40 asciilifeform: and the hardware ~is~ shit. boot up one of these (if you can actually get it to boot.) and say hello to 1 fps graphics, disks without dma (you don'
t know what these feel like until trying personally), nic that works when the moon is full strictly, etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-25 04:01 mircea_popescu: but in the general i suppose polarbeard's adventure is kinda illustrative of YET ANOTHER failure mode of personal heroics. besides the "lalala i can'
t hear" style there's apparently also the "oh, who has time for small steps, i'ma make huge contributions as a virtual unknown".
a111: Logged on 2018-04-25 03:53 phf: trinque: there wasn'
t anything wrong with polarbeard's patches in general, he just happened to be doing his work when there was a lot of regrinds going on in the tree and after third time he was asked to regrind he decided he had enough and quit
mod6: I went through midland/odessa once, didn'
t stop. Kept foot on gas.
trinque: after that, he says his computer didn'
t work (hey, you're a computer guy, right?) and showed me a picture of a dell laptop docking station, so who knows. maybe he goes out and drinks beer on his chicken
mircea_popescu: goes right back to the problem of the unknown. i CAN shoot down bikeshedding if i know the person. i can'
t if they're unknown, because then it's legitimate part of dogs sniffing butts getting to know each other.

☟︎ trinque: I don'
t expect to make that one mainline "trb" though, unless somewhere down the line somebody also breaks off script.cpp into a tx compiler, breaks off a signer, etc
mod6: That said, it doesn'
t make a ton of sense to be off tilting at wind-mills if there are already reasonable solutions.
mircea_popescu: he made one megapatch, people were like "yeah, nice, now split it out in bits" ; he tried but didn'
t find a ready way to do it and kinda went silent.
