mircea_popescu: it contains such gems as "He went abroad with him, and brought home such a return as was to be expected from kindred honour and well reciprocated use."
mircea_popescu: interesting item, ran for ~200 years up until ww1 as a sorta-kinda republican log. eventually some society of bored folks in utah produced a complete index, like 100 volumes.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, speaking of summaries and so on : anyone familiar with "the gentleman's magazine" ?
mircea_popescu: honestly, the engine needs a rewrite anyway. and the rewrite needs our svg/html spec. and so following.
mircea_popescu: that said, a svg-centric (as per prev log discussion) x-only (no gnome/kde/whatever bs) browser will prolly have to be written anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, afaik ff past 40 or so can't even run w/o gtk3. which iirc also not on list.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just making a copy of their historical offerings.
mircea_popescu: there's this pantsuit trend of making websites from playdo. 0 levers, 0 anything, thick bright colors.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "when world ended", this 2014-2015 winter might actually be the best not-after-this date
mircea_popescu: "These factors together worked to bring the actual NATO oil need under its allocation for the first time in the forty years since that allocation exists, and otherwise for the first time since the Industrial Revolution some centuries ago. It's really an incredible, history bending first, this" <<
http://trilema.com/2015/oil-theory/#selection-61.102-61.394 mircea_popescu: what, like growth of galena crystals guarded over by roc bird like in arab tales ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it looks exactly like microcrystalline obsydian roflmao omg.
mircea_popescu: dude. "microcrystalline obsydian". it's like silica glass, except volcano-made. it has planes and everything. what are you talking about ?
mircea_popescu: not afaik. tho honestly the idiocy of "equity" as practiced in common law / intuited by the runts in every litter + their enablers is such monumental nonsense as i don't expect can be readily unpacked.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but back to the point : the only sort whom "los cuesta" to be thinking is the sort that really has no business here.
mircea_popescu: oh, while on it : if any english speaker ever wondered where "arena" comes from,
mircea_popescu: amusingly, spanish (which is terrible re cognates btw, it fails to distinguish between expecting [esperar] and hoping [esperancia] and so on) uses the same word for both "it's expensive" (cuesta mucho) and "i find it difficult" ("me cuesta").
mircea_popescu: nor what other incentive is there, for either, besides the "moron still wants to live and spawn".
mircea_popescu: also leaves very little usable difference between subversion and "inclusion".

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so let's smg another month an' see how cuntoo goes.
mircea_popescu: i think it prolly makes it more readable, and also has the merit of making the ad-hockery less ad-hockish/more rulebased.
mircea_popescu: might as well use wall of ( 3 tall if you're doing wall of |
mircea_popescu: yes well. none of this works with a fixwidth display. not that i'm against having font scaling separate by heigh and width, but currently, it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: though in fairness, while the thickness displayed is exaggerated, what you do by hand is not SIMPLY shear it. you also thicken it some.
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, i don't think they implemented arbitrary shearing of fonts.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean "not turned up" lol. it's in the article i just linked you.
mircea_popescu: well, one or the other. there's no way to magic away the difference between gfx browser and fixwidth term.
mircea_popescu: it'll render fine in lynx and on html browser too, you lose out on pixel alligns and sizes and things, but what can you do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the speciffic items discussed are not possible to render alphabetically, and for the reasons stated : fraction lines are not a character etc.
mircea_popescu: though there was a lulzy "extended" keyset back in the 80s to "do it". failed also.
mircea_popescu: im not aware there's a way to make terminal-html-math. not even tex does that.
mircea_popescu: i didn't realise what you want was "some kind of notation that works in terminal and gui equally".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how would this work in terminal ? it's supposed to be a html thing, graphical browser.
mircea_popescu: get the bimbo anotehr year plox. i dun recall what the deal was with mocky right off, ima have to dig it up

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not reading all that, but i also don't believe i need to.
mircea_popescu: because totally, that's what i'm going to spend my resources on. passing tests the females came up with.
mircea_popescu: well, what are we talking about ? "that they could have" ? of fucking course could have.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, afaik it's how they write particles and things, but as an aid to the idiotic uselesness of "proper" writing, not by itself.
mircea_popescu: "nothing else you do right can ever fix that one thing you did wrong. nothing."
mircea_popescu: they ~deserved~ the wiping out by confederacy of proper alphabet dunces. to make the point forever fucking plain -- IF YOU UNICODE, you will die for it.
mircea_popescu: imagine if they didn't end up with broken alphabet, like morons.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough though, to the same sort of casual examination that passes semites (eg, jews) for "white", japanese also pass.
