mircea_popescu: and it is not clear to you that a brian-less 1984 would have lead to anything less than a complete domination right ? after all, at least he gave winston the book, right ?

mircea_popescu: and yet, "that is exactly the spirit that we must teach them not to have."
mircea_popescu: the soul of moderation. yes, very fucking good at marketing his supposed extremism
mircea_popescu: the correct solution generally is to strangle the moderates.
mircea_popescu: in any conflict, there's moderate positions, and then there's extreme positions. if the moderate position is represented (such as here by rms), the problem is papered over, and things continue until we fall over.

mircea_popescu: hey could lock, another little room. But the point is that people usually don't bother to think about that. They have the idea: “This room is Mine, I can lock it, to hell with everyone else”, and that is exactly the spirit that we must teach them not to have.
mircea_popescu: hing they thought might get stolen and they wanted to lock it up, but they didn't care about the other people they were affecting by locking up other things in the same room. Almost every time this happened, once I brought it to their attention, that it was not up to them alone whether that room should be locked, they were able to find a compromise solution: some other place to put the things they were worried about, a desk t
mircea_popescu: In the years that followed I was inspired by that ideas, and many times I would climb over ceilings or underneath floors to unlock rooms that had machines in them that people needed to use, and I would usually leave behind a note explaining to the people that they shouldn't be so selfish as to lock the door. The people who locked the door were basically considering only themselves. They had a reason of course, there was somet
mircea_popescu: so thinking about it, phf really deflated my article. fact remains : cpu is cpu, it will do what it will do. whatever the fuck you call what it does, it's what it does. yes ada is well mistaken to speak wrong mathematics, but then again it's not a mathematics shop. you want to use your lengthier, thicker and more nodular math cock to mock the poor engineers, go ahead, but the fuck it does.
mircea_popescu: having meanwhile googled the abomination, i can confirm it is sarah jessica parker

mircea_popescu: "3d cinema" for instance has "happened" about every 3rd decade since last century.
mircea_popescu: even numbers and natural numbers are EXACTLY as anything as the other one.
mircea_popescu: 2) why the fuck exactly do you think you can get 3 as 2+1 in "natural" space but you don't see that you get 4 as 2+1 in "even natural" space ?
mircea_popescu: and now it turns out that + and - are in the same exact situation.
mircea_popescu: then we discover that > is nevertheless defined, in spite of EXACT EQUIV OF MOD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought "mod is not defined because bignum"
mircea_popescu: how are even numbers any less "contiguous" than say natural numbers ffs.
mircea_popescu: "While range specifications are very useful, they are also highly limited in their usefulness. Ada ranges must always be contiguous. This means that you cannot specify an integer data type of only even numbers, for instance. Even numbers are not contiguous."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you explain the concept of "contiguity" as seen in this ada spec discussion ?
