mircea_popescu: and we hit paydirt. who the fuck is keszybz and who is the irresponsible asshole that lied to him to the degree of making him think he has any business touching computers!
mircea_popescu: "Because I don't want to change how processes daemonize in general, just a few specific processes: tmux, screen, x2go was also mentioned."
mircea_popescu: (in the rest of the world, it's legion etrangere, because legion is feminine in french and because s tends to drop, it's a complicated dicussion.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, "the legion estranger" would be pretty lulzy if only it were intentional.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i can't quite make sense of that lafond piece. do you get what the man's trying to say ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose alternatively it could be "waistline in human females goes from 22 to 24 inches", if you want an absolute value. the problem is it'll admit all sorts of nags + most children. this is a debatable stance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform orly ? do this experiment. "has wasitline" is defined as " waistline < (tits + hips) / 3". pick up a tape and measure!
mircea_popescu: hey ben_vulpes can has links to home and to raw right under the wotpaste header ? like dpaste does it ?
mircea_popescu: let this be a lesson to all kids watching at home : don't follow your fucking dreams. your dreams are shit. follow your principles. just as long as they're correct, you can't lose.
mircea_popescu: how about being consistent and arguing for "remove laws from the books until the number of male prison inmates === the number of female prison inmates" and "if you can't get married, beg your girlfriends to join you! if one of you cooks, one washes, one sees after the kids and one learns to pole dance, 4 millenian shitheads may just about cover the traditional role of womanhood"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: how is this stance different from "the nazi military police can't find as many gypos as they used to, so therefore flaying alive of gypsies for fun should be regarded as aperfectly normal passtime, and in no sense wrong, even if it was rare before"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: gotta love the logic, "can't get dudes to marry, so the solution is to make the few that do even more burdened." isn't this exactly opposite oif the usual socialist "share everything into the ground" mantra ?
mircea_popescu: because that's what pi IS. you understand this, IS! IS!
mircea_popescu: but pi is not motherfucking "3.141592...". pi is 355/113, or whatever the fuck polygon you decide to use.
mircea_popescu: and that finally there is absolutely no reason to implement arbitrary division in the machine, nor does such idiocy exist in nature ; that the correct machine representation of numbers is FRACTIONS not fucking "decimals", and that computers that natively support bignum up to the size of memory and execute gcd in hardware aren't either particularly hard to make nor their absence to date excusable.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: what an actually intelligent, creative person would have said would have been that the sad, sad excursion in reals on mid-early machines was an utter disaster, the scars of which we may only hope one day to outlive ; that the move away from that stupidity and to purely int machines and appliations is the heart of sensibility,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, it occurs to me that locklin's maudlin piece about reals is exactly typical of him and his "i am not intelligent, nor creative, but here's a bunch of hood ornaments i stole from other people's cars so you may think me intelligent and creative if you've never seen a car before" stance.
mircea_popescu: <phf> that is why we can not have nice things << what, russian ?
mircea_popescu: the drawback of hanging out with people is that motherfucker i caught some sort of doom bug, i'm like coughing and shit wtf.
mircea_popescu: 90% of everything he said past 12 months he said past 2, but this isn't something to inwardly consider.
mircea_popescu: shinohai check out the wonders of fiatism and "modern science" though. the derp never fucking pm'd anyone, ANYONE, about bitbet back when say, i was doing the warren buffett thing. NOW he finds the time and the interest. not before.
mircea_popescu: the moral being that on teh internet you gotta figure out what to believe yourself.
mircea_popescu: heh they give him plane money ? i'd have expected he has to walk.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform moonshine is this tenessee cvasi-whiskey.
mircea_popescu: (samogon, for the innocent, is a "anything you got" sort of brandy that long predates vodka)
mircea_popescu: gimme some of that brandy, this damned vodka's making my asshole burn.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up again, rifles own pockets again, disocvers money again, drags self back to bar.
mircea_popescu: drinks another vodka, gets plastered, goes to same ditch falls alseep.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up eventually, rifles own pockets, disocvers money, drags self back to bar
mircea_popescu: then when done stuffs a 30 cent bill in his pocket and departs.
mircea_popescu: a local faggot, seeing the man sleeping in a ditch, pulls down his pants, fucks him in the ass,
mircea_popescu: and he picks vodka, gets plastered, goes out and falls in a ditch where he falls asleep
mircea_popescu: where this one eyed lame bartender asks him religiously what he wants to drink ? vodka ? samogon ? gasoline ? solvent ?
mircea_popescu: and he's kinda depressed, and haunts this lowest of the lowest dive,
mircea_popescu: but instead just sorta... sent out to bum the rest of his days
mircea_popescu: in this alternate universe, the comrade general secretary of the central committee of the romanian communist party, comrade nicolae ceausescu isn't shot
mircea_popescu: phf ah, right, you been there. tell 'em about the catmania!
mircea_popescu: yeah, they do, because they gang together in wet spots
mircea_popescu: i think 1mn people of the same mind live there. i've never seen as many cats.
mircea_popescu: basically put a wooden frame like an old screen door or w/e upright, and the plastic from it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you could try making a hard transparent plastic foil lean-to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the letters in a circle were very important to have as glyphs because some people can't think otherwise.
mircea_popescu: btw vc you totally should look into eulora. beats eve out of the water.
mircea_popescu: (ftr, most major device gamers burn more than 100gb/month in data ; a good game can well go over the gb just to install, and the churn is massive, i think the dedicated azn shrimp goes through 10k a month or some such shit)
mircea_popescu: i bet you what they mean is, they allow "any" burst, (ie, they got some slack in the routers, so you can concievably get 100mbps or such), but they literally meter the bg to .1 tb/month
mircea_popescu: uh. wtf "100 gb of data traffic" what's that even mean
mircea_popescu: iceland infrastructure is kinda meh. they peer with britain-the-shithole and that's that.
mircea_popescu: vc get more boxes colo'd, for srs. what is this "one box" bs.
mircea_popescu: i take it he got a single colo'd box imagining the market in terms of "shared server" derps ; and then ran into tmsr and everyone wants whole boxes and phuctor runs on a 256gb monster.
mircea_popescu: basically, imagine a future where everyone who wants to (or doesn't care/know enough to not want to) runs the tmsr-bot, which registers its prices with deedbot, and then i can go !bot <order> and deedbot parcels it out to the bots it knows, and reports the rersults when done.
mircea_popescu: the derpy "watch a video for bitcoin" thing is just what you'd expect out of usgistan. meanwhile, a irc-bot driven client that does ethernet and computation, and charges for these would be pretty sweet.
mircea_popescu: we need to get a distributed computing for bitcoin thing going though.
mircea_popescu: 1 results and when i follow teh link it's all "no results, bro"
