mircea_popescu: i dunno, issues.

mircea_popescu: "So the busybox "dc" command was broken when I tried it, but Denys fixed it last night, so I can do the next perl removal patch now. (I need to get this done before the merge window closes.) Three hours later, I've learned how to implement the greatest common denominator algorithm in shell script using Eucilid's algorithm, and I'm only about halfway through. (This would be easier if I either had any idea what the kernel used

mircea_popescu: "Busy all day. The phone just would not stop ringing. Mark called several times (some of them about Paychex), Stu called (oops, late to meet him for lunch), my sister called (wants me to buy her a house, but in a good way), I called my grandparents to thank them for the Red Lobster gift card Fade and I used for dinner, the series of phone calls from Eric was because he had to debug a problem with the gpsd test suite hanging o ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "So yesterday, I told paychex the exact amount of money that was in Impact account, and the portion of that Mark and I each earned, and that my main concern was not bouncing a check. Today, they want to deduct $253.50 more from the account than I told them was in it. Â This did not seem to raise any red flags on their end." << keks. "paychex", also still in business. also still doing the same exact thing -- meanwhile it's

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the "i handrolled my own mp-wp, by hand" lulzchronicles, 2008 edition, http://archive.is/Jt2js#selection-39.0-39.293

mircea_popescu: in any case, let the record reflect i find the pompous feminity they titlessly assume personally offensive.

mircea_popescu: and i view esp the drepper thing very much in these terms, "we are dumb cunts deliberately and by design, and we will not excommunicate another dumb cunt irrespective of any considerations, because believe-women".

mircea_popescu: https://blog.dachary.org/2018/07/29/why-i-deleted-my-github-account/ << dood even seen last year.

mircea_popescu: bout as effectual as the sand dollars i fished at beach last.

mircea_popescu: i mean, understand this fucking nonsense : on the very savannah gnu org/maintenance/WhyChooseSavannah/ page they list "Gna!: http://gna.org/ - philosophically compatible with Savannah, run independently by other people; located in France" ; this is there BECAUSE his lordship loic the schmuck is doing it.

mircea_popescu: "Some months ago I helped to launch Savannah for the GNU project because I felt the need of a collaboratively run platform. With friends and co-developpers we are now re-writing and packaging distributed development hosting software. The idea is to be able to install and operate a SourceForge-like site within hours. Savannah will run this software at the end of this year. At first it may have less functionality than SourceFor

mircea_popescu: ker data /export/sf_tracker_export.php. Few people are aware of the later because it is undocumented. The export page explains how to use scripts that don't exist anymore; implementation of facilities to ease project extraction was stopped. The developer community is exclusively made of VA Linux employees and a few people who are asked not to disclose the current code [and I didn't declare this a strategic objective, nor fill

mircea_popescu: "The move to non-free software was the culmination of a series of steps designed to lock users in. There never was a way to fully extract projects from SourceForge [and I never said anything about this because I, rms, am a moron unfit to lead a L-shaped ambush, let alone an entire world], but efforts were made in this direction--then this year they were removed. At present the only things you can get are the CVS tree and trac

mircea_popescu: so, where's all the rms "hey folks, make blogs, rms-wp is over there", is what i wish to know.

mircea_popescu: i meant the editor and management toolchain.

mircea_popescu: you shouldn't have" "you're right, i fucked up".

mircea_popescu: they love the whatever, "world", "cosmos", whatever it is, and dun wanna hurt it. and they figure if they don't exist, can't hurt it. and so will studiously avoid saying "~I~ forbid you from X", not because "they believe in equality" or "it's impolite" or "other's freedom" or any such bs. the driving force is simply that IF you say "i order/forbid you" then therefore you CAN end up in the situation whereby "you forbade me and

mircea_popescu: now why exactly this does NOT read "it is here because ~I FAILED~ to signal correctly and in order" is anyone's guess.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose one could use the item linked as a compare/contrast with http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-28#1440673 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: what the fuck must be going in through their skulls to view "advertisement spend from proprietary competitor on my page" as anything but a) a great lul and b) hey, nice, i'll be sure to buy more dog toys for the bitches out of THEIR MONEY

mircea_popescu: you see, THIS is what i'm fucking worried about, getting an add for a "proprietary competitor". cuz that's what we're fucking doing here.

mircea_popescu: i didn't delete anything.

mircea_popescu: "Welcome to Savannah, the software forge for people committed to free software:", but i'm not gonna link it. because fucking misnomers.

mircea_popescu: because, obviously, in moron's eyes the problem wasn't socialism to begin with. i mean, mussolini tried, just didn't do it right. then hitler didn't do it right. stalin showed him how, but sadly also didn't do it right. but it's ok, roosevelt showed them how. and mao and trotsky and eventually rms.

mircea_popescu: AS DOING. The fact the rest of you are now finally realizing that some of the problems I already solved years ago were, in fact, real issues, is mildly amusing to me in a morbid way. If you have competent developers on this lsit you don't NEED my patches, you can figure out how to do it from the _idea_ in a couple hours." << there, as good an epitaph FOSS could ever get.

mircea_popescu: "I do not trust Grischka's technical judgement, his committment to the project (I put way more time into my fork than he's put into the official version), his leadership abilities, or his organizational skills. I spent three years of my life improving this project (not just coding but documentation and testing and design and so on), and the result was esentially discarded at the whim of somebody who DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I W

mircea_popescu: not only i will negrate anyone who in any way participates in that shameless shitsoup, starting with janneke moron, but eventually also shoot them.

mircea_popescu: the last conflict with clear us agency would be the redskin elimination, i guess.

mircea_popescu: i can't recall the last time the eventual outcome had much to do with the us, tbh. i mean, syria obviously entirely unrelated to any usg claim to agency. but it's not clear their last victory did anything meaningful to iraq ; certainly never budged either korea or vietnam. the euros are exactly where they'd have been had germany won ww2. and so following.

mircea_popescu: hmmm... i dun think so tbh, was a DIFFERENT set of these equally indistinguishable amateur shitheads.

mircea_popescu: stepped in something awful's wide open jaw with both feet, all i got in return was an "oww!!!" and so on.

mircea_popescu: see, i'm far from that fabled 100% foolproof etc.

mircea_popescu: i was afraid i dropped a thread there for a moment.

mircea_popescu: that has to be there, yeah. might be some flag faggotry tho, i am foggy.

mircea_popescu: supports all the targets qemu does, B) can build linux and busybox and uClibc and itself (thus providing a self-bootstrapping system; I'd upgrade busybox to have missing bits like "make"). << maybe HE could be doing the tcc work, at any rate.

mircea_popescu: Someday if I get back to this topic, I want to glue either sparse or the tcc front end to qemu's tcg back end and produce a new compiler that A)

mircea_popescu: i believe rob landley.

mircea_popescu: "hen I stopped work on my fork, the other project stopped, but when I started up again, so did they. All I was doing was keeping the CVS tree just active enough to exclipse mine, and I was tired of it."

mircea_popescu: "(People sent me bug reports about the 0.9.24 release. Yeah, that release contained a lot of code copied out of my tree into CVS, but the release was based on CVS, not on my tree.) By 2008 as CVS sank into obsolecense, TCC had clearly decided to go down with the ship. No matter how much work I put into my fork it would never eclipse the "official" tcc project (which could of course read my code to advance their tree)."

mircea_popescu: "This used to be the page for my fork of Fabrice Bellard's Tiny C Compiler, but I got sick of competing with a mostly dead CVS archive that nevertheless remained "official". Every time I worked on my fork it inspired new work in the old CVS archive, and every time I set my fork aside the old project ground to a halt. Even though the old tcc project repeatedly stagnated whenever I stopped working on my fork for a few months, n
