a111: Logged on 2016-09-20 19:48 mircea_popescu: how cool it is that we ate all the bugs and errors from "supporting utf", because look - there's no fucking glyph-based way to latex, in 2016.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-20#1545815 << fucking unicode, nothing but a means to oppress the only elements of any group that actually matter. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as per teh logic of the venerable http://trilema.com/2014/namecheap-goes-off-the-deep-end-anyone-know-a-decent-domain-registrar/ : insert ways for me to demean women in your "novel standard" as the first list of must-haves, because the ~possiblity~ of demeaning women is fundamental to any workable communication system. not inserting them isn't going to forward your political agenda ; it's going to simply precipitate a http://

a111: Logged on 2016-02-25 17:12 phf: i've been mulling over that question with logs. fwiw, entire log can be kept in memory for analysis, annotation, whatever, 180mb as utf-8 byte arrays. with unicode strings takes up twice the memory on 16-bit cmucl, and ~~4 times on 32-bit sbcl. i'm not yet convinced that transcoding everything you get into string and then transcoding it back to a bytearray onto the wire is the best strategy
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-25#1415401 interesting re this. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: also, my policy re "diacritics" as they're called is that i don't write them, but i don't actually bother to take em out from text i touch. so there's all sorts of ro literature i fixed on my blog, where it's quite evident what the original author contributed and what i put in, because the rotards are very much into this "currently correct romanian notation is alphabet + 5, down from alphabet + 12 a century ago, and THIS MATT

asciilifeform: ( phunphakt -- in addition to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-03#1577428 history -- okc at one time ran surveys , and rediscovered the known-to-the-ancients 'EVERYONE, no exceptions, likes lighter skin' item. and then immediately doctored the site and fell into politruk line, no moar 'risky' surveys. ) ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Even less alternatives to talking to people now.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (apparently okcupid went full app-shit sometime in the interval also ?) << The website has increasingly little to hook, and is increasingly poorly populated. Last week Uruguay had 4 girls, now has 2. Extrapolating from Uruguay's 4 million population this means ~35000 girls is all okc has left. Been in decline for a while, but now fallen sharply. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-19#1740645 << it's even funnier when you consider how deeply anachronistic it is.
