mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: released << awesome
thanks!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that "older comments"
thing is abominable.
phf: also
there's a somewhat useful,
though non-standard css property "user-select"
that lets you select only
the code part of
the page
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it will conveniently double as many
things. i will add it
to
the
topic link later
today.
mircea_popescu: precisely because universities "became open" and "put online"
their inept webcasts etc.
mod6: I don't have an ada at my disposal atm. So will do an entire
test of
the
thing
tonight and post results as I have
them (probably on my site).
mircea_popescu: you are aware
there exists no usable "learn
to compute" item ANYWHERE ?
mod6: I read
the entire
thing so far, and it looks great. I have droped
the vpatch and sig into my V and pressed it out, which also worked great.
mircea_popescu: i am reading. so far,
this is a major achievement, and quite fundamental at
that.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-01 21:27 mircea_popescu: i looked at
thousands of once-there, now deceased sites. pretty depressing as an incidental, facebook made people measurably dumber.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-01 21:24 mod6: lol, asciilifeform ignore
that. i already put a comment on your blog.
mod6: ben_vulpes: is
there a comment approval process? I submitted
the comment.
mircea_popescu: i looked at
thousands of once-there, now deceased sites. pretty depressing as an incidental, facebook made people measurably dumber.
☟︎ mircea_popescu recently went
through his comment section, nulled out dead links. (you'd be surprised what survival rate of commenters pages is like)
mircea_popescu: you know it's not a great idea
to leave live links
to dead urls.
mod6: yup, will leave
the same comment on yours, Sir.
Thanks.
mod6: lol, asciilifeform ignore
that. i already put a comment on your blog.
☟︎ mod6: If you
to gentlemen would rather not update your blogs, please let me know and I'll post a comment at
the bottom of each.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
the previous runaround was enough punishment for his sins.
mircea_popescu: shinohai wanna put his
thing in r/code or w/e it is, r/crypto, r/weRgrownupsnao ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform reading
this backbreaker of an article i must say i r impresst. exactly what ffa needed,
too.
phf: well, it's also only proper for a long running lisp system
to have a *cocks-and-balls* global variable somewhere
that subtly affects
the behavior
shinohai: I feel happy
to be a part of such a grand institution
that goes out of
the way
to be so all-inclusive in
the logs.
mircea_popescu: i have
this impression i was doing something but i can't remember what it was now.
phf: mod6: i've added
the feature you requested
mod6: where are
the balls?
mircea_popescu: alf's browser (emacs) includes live-browsing extension, sends 4k px wide 100fps film of
the page
to his
tape
ticker.
mircea_popescu: basically fits half as much on your screen, but leaves plenty of room for writing in
things on paper.
phf: mircea_popescu: nope, it's a styling bug, which needs
to be fixed, but i've been having hard
time with it last
time i
tackled it (but i don't remember what was
the issue, something related
to
tables and <pre>s)
mircea_popescu: in other news,
this footlong plastic calzador i vbought at flexi (local shoe store) is one hell of a buttpaddle.
phf: i've had color disabled in my editors for years now,
though some color like comments and string sequences is somewhat handy
phf: yeah, it does at
this point
trinque: that's coming, full
transaction history
mircea_popescu: trinque while at it, can
there be an acct history
to check on
this side ? or what's iyo
the ideal approach here
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: prepping for
travel, will probably review on
the plane
trinque: mircea_popescu: looks like I have some deposits
to credit. one sec. your hanbot one did not go
through.
phf: but it does do a lot of
tedious manipulation of lists of lines, so at >n lines it starts generating a lot of garbage
phf: mircea_popescu: it shouldn't be really, i just need
to
tune it
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
phf: though a bit of shame
that annotation narrative is lost in vpatch
phf: i've been following
the log
phf: asciilifeform: si, also i'll look for
the ada source, pretty sure i have it
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: well yes. i
took narrowly missing
the 90s
to mean he lived last days during khruschev's
tenure
mircea_popescu: you recall, guy was at
the un,
took shoe off banged
table.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6, diana_coman ,
trinque , ben_vulpes , et al : lemme know if you were able
to follow
the ffa
tutorial ch1. <+asciilifeform> and got
the expected result. << will
take a look for sure.
mircea_popescu: (i find it amusing how all
the later day soviet saints have some shoe reference readily accessible
to be retrieved by)
mircea_popescu: moreover, if you
took a year's worth of court practice of your choice, listed all
the inferences made in a sort of mega-AST and
then sorted
this list by
tenuousness measured how you will,
the fingerprint construct wouldn't make any sort of
top.
mircea_popescu: there is no manner available currently of runing physical-space law&order without
the fingerprint construct.
mats: admitting
to
the worthlessness of fingerprints would result in
twenty year judicial backlog of reviews
mircea_popescu: mats hey, usg's been
trying
to shitcan
the whole it security
thing since day one.
a111: Logged on 2014-10-19 18:39 asciilifeform: my hypothesis re: biometrics is, imho,
the only one proposed so far
that has explanatory power for
the fact
that idiotically lame, e.g., fingerprint readers, nevertheless are happily deployed en masse by usg
mats: ugh, at a conf where a fed is pimping ‘trusona’, some biometric nonsense, and
telling folks
to shitcan passwords
mircea_popescu: aaand in other news, i just managed
to link
TWO DOZEN
trilema articles from
this latest one. i
think
that
takes
the cake.
mircea_popescu was even gonna reply
to his reply,
then noticed
the google
thing and recalled why he hasn't been commenting, something /me was vaguely wondering about
