asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you do with the progressing system calls?

asciilifeform: aha iknow

asciilifeform: where there is no such thing as clean aborts even if author wanted this.

asciilifeform: no dice on idiot c machine.

asciilifeform: ahahahaha http://www.loper-os.org/?p=215

asciilifeform: the others are ~useless.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kill -9

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: devil has a head on his shoulders, to an extent.

asciilifeform: sure is.

asciilifeform: which he took.

asciilifeform: fella wasn't quite certain what he wanted, and soon after the publication, devil approached him with bargain. ☟︎

asciilifeform: the release was quasi-forced, i found where he kept it and linked publicly (it was not well-hidden)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was pre-urbit-release

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo will be stimulated to learn that there is some sort of comic book convention going in washington and i saw 'land whales' last night in a train, headed from it to dinner

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've seen them, they simply aren't to be met with regularly anywhere i've been

asciilifeform: stick existed but obsoleted by water gizmoes

asciilifeform: having seen in real life the circa freaks in question, i find it plain as daylight that they cannot reach own arse

asciilifeform: similar story. geometrically.

asciilifeform: the sumo men are well documented to use apprentice fighters as arse wipers.

asciilifeform: look into sumo

asciilifeform: i'll have to pull it off optical disk.

asciilifeform: would link but google's usenet archive ~dead.

asciilifeform: it can be had from the same folk selling the reinforced toilets etc.

asciilifeform: $s reach implement

asciilifeform: circa 01 or so

asciilifeform: from own travels

asciilifeform: dan mocsny described it

asciilifeform: the stick exists

asciilifeform: aaaaactually

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: linked site dead?

asciilifeform: e.g., the eastern folk are lightyearz ahead in the art of people-packin' as contemplated in mircea_popescu's 'female herd' articles

asciilifeform: 'civilization' yields bug-men and cn has 5000 yrs of practice, while white man is a n00b. ☟︎

asciilifeform: which is being replicated in usa as we speak, naturally

asciilifeform: meant the very specific castrated mandarin / ~illiterate peasant mass thing.

asciilifeform: idish is ~dead, while 1 in every handful of live humans speaks (and might even read some) cn.

asciilifeform: plenty of mas futuro. the insectoid way of organizing is - effective. sadly.

asciilifeform: in tw - traditional. worse.

asciilifeform: and that's SIMPLIFIED chinese we're talking about!

asciilifeform: deliberately loaded up on arbitrary crapola.

asciilifeform: cn writing system is its own mandarin exam

asciilifeform: afaik - quite fragmentarily. a 10,000 hieroglyph vocab. of a learned cn man would scarcely qualify as literacy in a euro lang

asciilifeform: them martianfolk dun care if we give a shit. they just silently take over...

asciilifeform: as i said years ago. as schwartz said. etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is a winner. the euro fictions ~don't~ really compile in cn.

asciilifeform: also iirc it has pathologically liberal word order. hence the autotranslator soup appearing above.

asciilifeform: quite possible one has to reformat own head entirely to deal in it. becoming somewhat martian himself in the process.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-05#1477259 << the node links all 404 ☝︎

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu you still have a bunch of old l0gz links on your www, because didn't massage the 'log1.bitcoin-assets....' cases.

asciilifeform: try flipping some other bit and uploading. (anybody bored?)

asciilifeform: mutant simply registered as 'yet another key for this name'.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-05#1477240 << observe, original was still there ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-05#1477239 << seems like they do 0 test at all ☝︎

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, mircea_popescu has any observation re bitrot earlier ?

asciilifeform: folks would quit and run on batteries with the understanding that grim reaper would come before dough runs out

asciilifeform: this is sorta how 'retirement' used to work

asciilifeform: this example makes 0 sense tho. if i know that martians will devour me in 1 week, i sure as fuck wouldn't work

asciilifeform: *built-in

asciilifeform: btw it'd be spiffy if shit jobs came with build-in 'you will last THIS long' like butugychag did.

asciilifeform: why the fuck not.

asciilifeform: can i pick sitting on my arse and smelling ze flowers and dying of hunger in ~2~ month ?

asciilifeform: result a whole nation flings itself at his feet'

asciilifeform: that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flag and loyalty-parades ... Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people “I offer you a good time,” Hitler has said to them “I offer you struggle, danger and death,” and as a ☟︎

asciilifeform: '[Hitler] has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life. Nearly all western thought since the last war, certainly all “progressive” thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security, and avoidance of pain. In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues. Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows

asciilifeform: even orwell had this nailed.

asciilifeform: the greatz understood this.

asciilifeform: 'lives in cave, on mountain air alone'

asciilifeform: sorta goes with the eastern thing where 'tru guru!111 would never stoop to speaking with unclean derpz'

asciilifeform: so the only true hero is solipsist, who chews in wholly uncorrelated direction with anybody else's ?

asciilifeform: standard soldierly advice. but it also goes with 'trust allah but tie camel.'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu proffers the nagan, newz at 11

asciilifeform: the relation is that we just re-did the everett's device thread.

asciilifeform: but for the remaining standing one to refer to it as an algo that can be picked up and used by somebody, is rather odd.

asciilifeform: and is fine.

asciilifeform: this is not my invention, it is how nature works.

asciilifeform: a victorious mircea_popescu is made up of 10,001 young corpses where they went to the galleys and nobody cares.

asciilifeform: finally we get to the magic algo, no ?

asciilifeform: with his psi powers ?

asciilifeform: can row or die.

asciilifeform: and then he is taken by the turks and is on a galley.

asciilifeform: what's the operative, as mircea_popescu would ask, difference ?

asciilifeform: why peddler respectable, but programmer - not ?

asciilifeform: i read a very distinct 'yarrrrrrrrrrrr i'ma a pirate and yer all landlubbin' scum' in mircea_popescu's earlier observations re 'negotiating position' and 'why not try not eating'

asciilifeform: instead of being, e.g., highwayman.

asciilifeform: no? isn't it 'womanly cowardice', earning motherfucking bread, doing a job ?

asciilifeform: negotiates - with customers strictly.

asciilifeform: what negotiating. father was a peddler, son - peddler.

asciilifeform: man who can read.

asciilifeform: 'right half of bell curve' or the like.

asciilifeform: because it was pretty low bar.

asciilifeform: but vouched conditionally, had to jump through the burning ring

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: in front of the wot^H^H^Hshtetl

asciilifeform: y'know - from the sheepskin.

asciilifeform: (bloke had to read wordz)

asciilifeform: i thought it was as proof of min iq for marriagebility

asciilifeform: i thought they still had some in afghan or wherever.

asciilifeform: imho most folks if they were thinking straight would have eaten nagan long ago.

asciilifeform: and at any rate mircea_popescu should thank beelzebub for this, because otherwise he'd be buried under pile of corpses.

asciilifeform: sloth?
