asciilifeform: wouldn't go this far, but ought to use the pieces already in the rubble

asciilifeform: you don't get to not count it in the weight of the proggy.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: realize, yer still talking about a WHOLE OS USERLAND

asciilifeform: how's that

asciilifeform: four-handed sword.

asciilifeform: as phf seems to suggest.

asciilifeform: i did not come up with any serious objection. but it may yet be the case that this is a chair for giants.

asciilifeform: 'Real Man merges by reading, then burning the telegram, and rewriting'

asciilifeform: ended with 'merging is for lamerz'

asciilifeform: thread concerned merging.

asciilifeform: for some reason you can't presently go 'gimme asciilifeform's latest patches'

asciilifeform: this, however, is considerably more painful than it has to be, because wwwtronics is liquid shit

asciilifeform: and hand-pollinate

asciilifeform: phf: iirc it ended with mircea_popescu's pithy observation that perhaps folks should not even expect to be able to use other peoples' patches directly, but rather each maintain own tree

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, phuctor has crunched all of sks circa may 2016.

asciilifeform: i will note that, e.g., 'Doom', was under 50,000 lines !

asciilifeform uses.

asciilifeform: does v not actually-work ?

asciilifeform: compare mass of, e.g., 'v' vs 'git'.

asciilifeform: retardation.

asciilifeform: does a motherfucking blog engine need to weigh 1000s of lines of ???.

asciilifeform: THE FUCK

asciilifeform: WHY

asciilifeform: i looked at 'flatpress', and barfed, it is 1000s of lines

asciilifeform: oodles of shell crapolade in there.

asciilifeform: i just downloaded, states quite clearly, that it runs strictly on plan9.

asciilifeform: AND it needs plan9!!!!

asciilifeform: prettymuch.

asciilifeform: about quart, lel

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ?

asciilifeform: ah then normal adult man l0l

asciilifeform: sounds like mircea_popescu takes in more ethanol than water nao

asciilifeform: a rubbish blog gotta be augmentable from devices other than battlestation

asciilifeform: and editor via wwwbrowser. ☟︎

asciilifeform: srsly what is so hard to understand.

asciilifeform: i want NO DEPS

asciilifeform: phf: git. so no go.

asciilifeform: 0.

asciilifeform: but 0 public examples.

asciilifeform: then serve up static.

asciilifeform: what i want is to generate them ONCE, when EDITED.

asciilifeform: ferfuxsake

asciilifeform: i dun even DO wwwtronics!11111

asciilifeform: (e.g., spit rss for trinque's bot)

asciilifeform: not if you want it to actually work.

asciilifeform: mno.

asciilifeform: suddenly what seems like 'trivial' work, balloons into a lifetime of crud.

asciilifeform: probably but this is again the bmore house

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: it is probably what i'll end up doing, but it crosses over the worth-doing threshhold to wrong side.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: too much sweat per rubbish photo.

asciilifeform: tr0l0l0l

asciilifeform: 'git for storage' ?!!

asciilifeform: strictly files on disk plox.

asciilifeform: i dun need multiple concurrent editors or whatever other rubbish.

asciilifeform: would really like to dispense with the db crapolade.

asciilifeform: i fucking hate wp

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, trinque, BingoBoingo, et al ^^ anyone have a counter-example handy ?

asciilifeform: just watching the js turds flicker.

asciilifeform: without even READING

asciilifeform: and normally you can even tell from 5 seconds! of looking at author's page.

asciilifeform: it is all liquishit.

asciilifeform: there is NO public software worth considering.

asciilifeform: and realized that if i were starting first one today, would prolly have just given up.

asciilifeform: in other adventures, i made the mistake of trying to set up a 2nd bl0g, for rubbish

asciilifeform: a good chunk of gauss hasn't even been typeset yet (!)

asciilifeform: the arses, however, expand very slowly, to fit the chairs.

asciilifeform understands this quite well.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: where existing langs aren't even enough for the truly 1333333333337

asciilifeform: next phase is of course full-bore tolkien

asciilifeform: selling chairs that ordinary man could put entire living room on

asciilifeform: only in the sense that a furniture store run by a giant is 'sinful'

asciilifeform: this isn't a sin peculiar to mircea_popescu either.

asciilifeform: the alert martian-reader, hell.

asciilifeform: the alert reader!111

asciilifeform: etc

asciilifeform: so, e.g., if you dun like taming scorpions, you ain't man

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu likes to roll all manners of particular mircea_popescuinities into concept of 'manhood'

asciilifeform: not everybody is a born animal trainer.

asciilifeform: question is the labour.

asciilifeform: and any house can be rebuilt

asciilifeform has no pertinent recent data and will take mircea_popescu's word fo rit

asciilifeform: note, quite a few folk have 1k btc, but no - afaik - launches.

asciilifeform: you have to 'be someone'

asciilifeform: not in the sense those 88 cent cans of tuna have a cost.

asciilifeform: see, that was my contention, that the thing HAS NO COST

asciilifeform: just makes for sore arsehole, neh ?

asciilifeform: just makes a dead rube

asciilifeform: high six figures and being a rube ?

asciilifeform: probably would work

asciilifeform: high six figures + being mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: (what is the cost of becoming a circus acrobat?)

asciilifeform: and the cost of ~getting~ in, even if physically possible, is not calculable in any straight manner.

asciilifeform: and so forth.

asciilifeform: so for instance, upon first look it appears that 20-30mil u.s. will get you a simple 'bent pipe' launched into orbit, but then you notice that you gotta be in 3 different wots that asciilifeform isn't in.

asciilifeform: as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-29#1492732 ☝︎

asciilifeform: because it isn't available 'retail'

asciilifeform: again, the number is potentially $maxint, depending on how much of civilization you gotta rebuild in order to even play
