phf: qntra should hire
a buxom lady with an ill fitting shawl for cto then
phf: "As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in
a respectful manner, to question my logic."
ben_vulpes:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-08-2015#1254018 << the whole thing's
a small nudge or ten away from people with guns realizing that cops hate getting shot at, the state hates cops getting shot at, and generally anyone with the stones to make an effort to rack up up
a body count on their way out stands an even chance of not even having to go out
☝︎ trinque: that said I did target qemu for my gentoo builder, just to have
a defined target at all
trinque: you've got
a giant wad of incomprehensible shit, so at least if you snapshot the turd at various life-stages you can return to one when you've screwed up everything
phf: i think the idea makes sense for development in general, i mean "full stack" crowd approximates it by running
a vm with the stack
trinque: it's quite
a thing; I've worked under guys that demanded minimalism and it didn't hold
a candle to this.
trinque: git for example, sure, has
a tree in it, which is to say the monstrously large pile of git concepts has
a sort of tree-like structure in it, among myriad other things
phf: mats: dos dev is sop multimachine. if you read early gamedev reminiscence professional setup almost always involved two machines, the dev environment and the game testing machine, with some rapid way to synchronize the two. not that are you necessarily limited to
a single task at
a time, you can load
a tsr to perform
a handful of auxiliary task, like notes or calculator or whatever. i think that's how "widgets" were implemented in apple's system
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i am saying these things with the secret hope of weaseling out of writing
a manual later. << I though this is what danielpbarron does
mircea_popescu: very much exactly this. there's
a line from me somewhere in log going "all i want to figure out is what keys"
mircea_popescu: yes, they matter for the bureaucrats who'd like to pass for mds, and which are presented as such by the state much like the guy in
a white coat is presented as "
a scientist" by advertising execs
mircea_popescu: but this "coexistence" is
a purely anthropological consideration.
mircea_popescu:
a perfectly acceptable result of psychology, like of all scholarship, is "i have nfi"
mircea_popescu: how to annoy large dogs : while dog is in front and you're sitting in back seat, wait for it to stick its muzzle through the headrest, at which point put
a strip of bacon flush on it. hide it once he withdraws. repeat.
mircea_popescu: but, that aside. the logical next step, after learning arithmetics, from
a "i'd rather not be robbed blind by everyone i meet" is learning statistics.
mircea_popescu: or what, you meant "they go away into
a merry-merrry land where they lhea" ?
mircea_popescu: for she was in
a diner and
a guy tried to rob it, so the old woman got out
a colt and blew the would-be robber's brain all over the wall
trinque: or hell, just because the person entered the house. that's
a threat.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, as i went to texas, they were just having
a celebration in the little town, mayor was giving an old woman some award
mircea_popescu: trinque the notion of not shooting an armed person is still very foreign to me. if you got
a gun and i got
a gun i AM killing you and then we can figure it out.
trinque: some states here have
a requirement that you attempt retreat first
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla sounds like slovenia would do
a lot better with more beatings.
kakobrekla: it will take
a bunch of time and layerpower to get out out.
kakobrekla: in theory here you can go to
a supermarket or
a hotel or whatever, sit down in the middle and 'claim your space'.
moonpunter: i signed
a contract with the landlord, he violated it in several ways and attempted to violate it in more. he was disappointed when he figured out i didn't need his apartment, and most definitely stole some of my property left there before the move-out date, then lied to police about it. we don't need anymore laws protecting landlords where i live.
kakobrekla: nope and its
a real pain. i know of
a (
a bit special) case where landlord can not get the lodger out. not legally. even if he doesnt pay.
trinque: looks
a lot like this glorious land of freedom we've got
trinque: I certainly *personally* agree that there are frivolous reasons to judge
a person.
moonpunter: here in Arkansas if you have money you're basically
a protected class. my previous landlord is getting away with theft and extortion on
a weekly basis. he fucked up when he harassed my wife via text, she's going to sue, the cops said that would be the best way to deal with it.
BingoBoingo: My personal standard for whether something should be
a crime or not is Missouri's statewide ban on prosecution for merely being drunk in public. Missouri is more Texas than Texas in this regard.
moonpunter: i've been through there dozens of times, right, on greyhound several, and everytime i've been to that greyhound station there's been an ambulance and
a herd of cops. every time.
trinque: and admittedly as
a white male, it doesn't apply to me much there.
moonpunter: cops don't even know what laws they're enforcing, most of them act on emotion, professionalism lacking, institutional racism, extortionist tactics at the jail - $3.00 per minute for
a phone call in 2014
moonpunter: i dunno. i've been
a good boy since last year. got too many reasons now. new baby tomorrow morning. 8am delivery.
kakobrekla: did you tell her with
a gun or something?
moonpunter: the first time i pissed that cop off i was just telling off this lady that was rude to my wife. i live in
a tourist town and we were downtown.
moonpunter: sometimes they let you out on your own recognition that you are
a drunk asshole
moonpunter: it means going in the back of
a car to jail
moonpunter: 25c or d, don't remember. radios. you'll never convince me to wrok in
a military IT department.
moonpunter: re-enlisted to go 25d but got
a medical discharge before i ever went to school. they let me keep the bonus anyway.
moonpunter: i trained on us weapons and when i got to the real army i was attached to
a mortar platoon, but i only ever dropped one mortar myself, which was pretty awesome
moonpunter: after i tell assbot to !up me i get
a file to decrypt
mats: i vaguely remember reading
a field manual (M2?) where it is possible to adjust which side spits out the rounds but don't recall details, if moonpunter figures out gpg maybe he can tell me
mats: deflectors are
a thing, but i've never seen
a joe carry one for his personal weapon
BingoBoingo: <mats> some unlucky folks have
a dominant eye different than the hand, which can make it difficult to aim << solution is hand yeilds to eye dominance. If left eye dominant shoot left handed.
mircea_popescu: human visual depth perception is so fucking terrible, if you're going to fire cable guided missiles you're better off placing two teams
a mile apart and having team
A guide missiles fired from B and vice-versa
mats: some unlucky folks have
a dominant eye different than the hand, which can make it difficult to aim
mircea_popescu: both objectionswithdrawn in
a major explosion of lols.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "currently compromise
a bit more than 50%" << comprise ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there's going to be
a Fatman superhero before the fall.
kakobrekla: > but the kid-friendliness < shit, perhaps
a mit student could actually successfully wire
a lamp to it
williamdunne: For
a good laugh,
a socialist using words they don't understand. Particular lols around bogeymanning options contracts; www.dailymotion.com/video/x2mxebi_the-super-rich-and-us-episode-2_tv
mircea_popescu had girl make herself shocking device out of mono copper cable, duct tape and
a dozen 1.5 volters. FOR PUNISHMENT
