phf: 90% of bloat and outright retardation comes from
there being retards in
the process. it's like cancer, it doesn't limit itself
to only
this
type of
tissue
phf: i don't
think
that's right, since plan9 does _utf-8_ at fraction of complexity
phf: but ~i
think~ naive multibyte (though i haven't looked at particular implementation, i'm judging by something like nvi2) is less of an issue
than outright gnuisms
phf: it's not republic software, so it's never going
to be fully aligned
phf: i now realize
though
that "X years of unix" only works if it rolls over into
the 90s. otherwise it's an irrelevant factoid
phf: i was
trying
to be ~polite~. if you put "10 years of unix" on your resume, i sort of assume "tell me your favorite editor and
then ssh into
the box for interview" is a bushido level of politeness
☟︎ phf: same
thread as a guy who freaked
the fuck out, because i
told him
to ssh into a box for
the interview
☟︎ phf: oh yeah, right, we did have a
thread

to quote one such 'speshul
trainflake' i encountered once, 'you should be making me an offer, and not asking me
to do
tricks'

thought
that at
this point everybody just does
the 5min litmus
test
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-19#1715850 << i stopped doing even
those. i've had a couple of months of lulzy 5 minute litmus
tests
that resulted in 100% failure rate, which made me
think
that perhaps
the whole "teach everyone!1
to program" basically means
that s/n has finally approached 0.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: mouth now open, waiting for
them
to pour in; found a non sybil i guess.
trinque: I guess we'll never know; guy assumed I read
thoughts.
mircea_popescu: or w/e,
there's a by now lengthy comet
tails' worth of idiots who WERE NOT CONSULTED.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what
the claim is supposed
to be. prolly grubles dicking about.

this
to never have happened at once!
ben_vulpes: gotta lead em on a bit for max lulz, "hm, what informations are we
talking about here?"
ben_vulpes: did not even bother
to specify which information?
trinque: lol? so how am I
to know "my"
then?
trinque: popcorn kernel stuck in
throat isn't digestion, lol

☟︎ BingoBoingo: In other news,
there's a new season of South Park
BingoBoingo: And a laff:"On Sunday night, as police officers marched downtown, a Post-Dispatch photographer heard
them chant a refrain most often heard at Ferguson protests: “Whose streets? Our streets.”"
BingoBoingo: In other, more recent ripped from
the headlines: "Woman complains Hobby Lobby’s raw cotton decor is racially insensitive "
trinque gonna go park brain for
the night
trinque: if growing outside, probably going
to need sprays
trinque: original
thread was (or I'm
tired)
that chicom area denial chalk (TM)
trinque: you're gonna get
the occasional wood roach flying
through
the room, but
then
the girl screams and free comedy
BingoBoingo: But sometimes you wanna grow a
tomato and
there's a fucker growing corn within 85 miles which puts you within a day's flight of stinkbug horde
trinque: not like I don't spray a perimeter around my home, but other
than
that, if
there's nothing
to eat,
there's nothing
to eat
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
trinque: how'd you react
to neighbour cornfuck leaving poisoned bait for your beast
to find ? << 90% of successful pest control is geography
trinque: lots of
them here
too, cute little bastards
mircea_popescu: trinque
the blessings of
the plains folk. up here,
there's no flies, no roaches, no nothing.
trinque: there's a little wolf guy living in my
truck somewhere at
the moment
trinque: and hell I'll keep a spider around
too if it's not bothering me
trinque has a cat for murdering
those, roaches, w/e crawls and
therefore mustest die.
BingoBoingo: Hey, when's
the last
time you've seen deer attack adult human out of hunger? Mouse WILL!!!
trinque: or folks could put away
their food, even.
BingoBoingo: Mild neurotoxin with strong repellent properties in solid binder... as opposed
to atomizer mist device
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the Chicom repellent chalk by comparison is peak sanity
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but not a bigger rat
than
the fucking corn eaters. << raccoons are corn eaters!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> well, racoons are a very successful sort of rat. as a result,
they don't have any friends among
the people
they interact with on any kind of regular basis. kinda like pigeons, actually. << Aha, like
their namesake. For people interacting with
them occasionally "entertaining", in constant contact universally nuissance
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Because sarin, like malathion and vx has a repellent effect for
the lucky
to get a whiff from sufficient distance

BingoBoingo: Actual field research shows consumers read no pesticide labels whatsoever and just look for aeresol cans,
then cycle cans until one has desired effect: "EPA officials say no such
testing occurred, but are confident
that people will read
the new labels as intended.
The agency notes
that

to use

to kill raccoons, skunks, opossums, coyotes, wolves, dogs, cats, or an
BingoBoingo: More for
the posteriority: "“It’s indiscriminate, intentional poisoning of wildlife,” says Brian Rowe, who recently retired as pesticide section manager at
the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development in Lansing. “Some of
them die with
their face in
the pan
that
they’re licking out of. I mean, it kills
them
that quick.”"
BingoBoingo: raccoon in a red circle with a slash
through it—might unintentionally make matters worse."
BingoBoingo: Compare
to 13 years later: "In response,
this week Michigan officials are considering new rules
to limit
the use of
the pesticide. If
the rules are approved, as expected, Michigan would join a growing number of states and
the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in
trying
to prevent
the misuse of methomyl, in part by restricting who can buy it and requiring new warning labels. But some observers fear
the labels—which depict a
