nubbins`: ascii_field there's a woman in town who's been binding for years, has an ancient letterpress setup.
i'd say she'd at least know where to point me for leather work
nubbins`: at which point things will come full-circle and
i'll be silkscreening fabric for the covers of silkscreened books
nubbins`:
i've done staple-binding, perfect binding, kettle stitch binding... eventually
i'm gonna have to order some board and cloth
nubbins`: ...or maybe
i just can't be taught it 8)
nubbins`: harkens back to the first time
i rcv'd a mouser catalog
danielpbarron: basically anything ascii wants in book form,
I would probably also want
☟︎ ascii_field: danielpbarron: because
i'm not interested in reading crud
danielpbarron: did that 0.5.3 source ever become a book? maybe put that on the list of things
I'd buy if enough people in pool
danielpbarron:
i might buy one if there are enough people in the pool
ascii_field: nubbins`:
i routinely use 'print on demand' houses when
i feel like getting xxxx in dead tree, but the result is invariably just a little better than what
i can do at home
danielpbarron: Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that
I can't stand.
I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.
ascii_field: but
i can laser print and perforate as well as the next guy.
nubbins`: hey,
i can hand-sew, but you're not gonna like the price
nubbins`:
i'd have to check the type of metal
felipelalli:
I was trying to convince him that don't let the users choose the interest rate is not a good idea.
felipelalli:
I said to BTCJam CEO: "mircea said BTCJam is not even a service" he said "who is this?" and then tried to convince me "other people disagree with him"
felipelalli: nubbins`: but
I would like to collect the cons arguments.
I was using the service for a while and it was nice, except the reputation system. But yes, without a good reputation system, it is worthless. :/
felipelalli: danielpbarron: Thank you! Next time
I'll try it! :)
nubbins`: "Th is
i s how t o c o n v e r t an
i s s u e f o r d u pl e x p r

nubbins`: danielpbarron if you guys figure somethin out between yourselves,
i can print a batch all at once to save on setup
danielpbarron: well
i don't necessarily want to design one, but if that sounds like something the other qntra writers would want,
I'd like a stack of them with my name on it if that's ok
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: Where can
I find objective arguments against BTCJam? As a lending service and reputation system? And what are the alternatives for P2P lending or we don't have? They have 113,000 users, should they be ignored?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway,
i gtg, we shall continue this argument tomorrow
mircea_popescu: "you and
i might not care or know, but someone in the capitalist club is financing the new lightbulb"
trinque: ascii_field's comment about having accomplished something put it better than
I did
trinque: oh we're fucked;
I just don't expect that the men in black are coming for me because
I said
I like bitcoin
mircea_popescu:
i don't think any human population can be stable with lifetimes averages < 30.
trinque: mircea_popescu: when imagining overt dictatorship
I'd think so
danielpbarron: probably;
i've read the horror stories on the forum
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
i had an article about how all us citizens should have a solid expectation of being homeless eventually
ascii_field:
i have a fairly solid expectation of starving eventually
trinque:
I got paid to go to college and still left
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 19:25:24; felipelalli: Depends on situation. For example:
I had to spend some unforeseen money and
I didn't want to climb a mountain to get my bitcoins, so
I got a loan with a very low interest rate.
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 09:14:51; mircea_popescu:
i don't think anyone in the wot ever actually starves.
mircea_popescu: just, you know, everyone thinks they're speshul. but if
i were a natl bank governor
i wouldn't allow the derps to borrow either.
punkman: trinque,
I think Ragnar had "deedbot" account, you can ask him
trinque: seems
I'd sooner airgap a bsd or something, but if it works it works
mircea_popescu: yeah
i think you found a problem that can't actually be resolved with currently available tools.
brendafdez:
I was trying to see the first messages in the chan by each user. If a user has say 50000 messages,
I can't find a way to see the pages with the earliest 45000.
mircea_popescu: brendafdez
i thought search automatically sorts by time, descending ?
brendafdez:
I was searching the logs and couldn't find a way to sort by date ascending. Tried setting the start parameter to a value close to the total number of results, but it won't take values greater than 5000. :( Is there a way to do it?
trinque: if
I can't get deedbot,
I'll just do it with the dash
jurov:
i can see that, except for slowness or even meticulousness
jurov: btw
i don't get how would such data mining work.. someone would have to collect all the information first
ascii_field: every day when
i wake up still alive,
i know that
i have not yet achieved anything.
trinque: ascii_field: well
I think
I'm echoing a sentiment
I've heard from you;
I wont be grabbing my rifle any time soon
chetty: <trinque>
I'll go out on a limb and say they're not rounding up people for derping on IRC//yet
trinque:

danielpbarron: someone pointed out to me that if
i wasn't already a terrorist suspect, buying the reference manual to the language for airplanes isn't going to help that image
danielpbarron: oh btw
i got my ADA reference manual; things quite nice. it's from a public library and it looks as though nobody ever checked it out
felipelalli: danielpbarron:
I have to go now! :)
I'll write an article about this bad move of BTCJam soon. Thank you.
danielpbarron:
i doubt 1) your entropy generating abilities 2) your not telling a secret when a hot iron is inserted into your body abilities
felipelalli: danielpbarron: but
I am a geocaching player and yes, it is very secure.
danielpbarron:
i really doubt your secret mountain wallet is as secure as you imagine
felipelalli: Depends on situation. For example:
I had to spend some unforeseen money and
I didn't want to climb a mountain to get my bitcoins, so
I got a loan with a very low interest rate.
☟︎ danielpbarron:
i know a guy (Birdman) who borrows it to play poker
danielpbarron:
i don't except with very close associates and even then
i'd really rather not
felipelalli: danielpbarron:
I'm sad. They killed a service that
I was using for years. It isn't that good, but...
felipelalli:
I'm so sad and so so so so fucking crazy with this.
felipelalli:
I'm crying here. :'( The simply just killed the BTCJam.
ascii_field: that thing contains the single best 'lysenko for dummiez'
i've ever seen in english
ascii_field:
i normally just read that as a shorthand for 'install on your box...'
danielpbarron:
i guess if you're not on something debian you probably know how to convert that string into something useable
mike_c: it's odd, because
i explictly skip anything not in [0, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
trinque: punkman1: can
I get "deedbot" from ya?
trinque: mircea_popescu
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2015#1059635 << which is the manual ? << tried geting rid of that colon by making the bot parse all messages for commands, not just highlights, and making deedbot- the command. didn't work, seems it should.
I'm going to poke tenyks' author today to find out what's smart
☝︎ trinque: sorry davout,
I changed the syntax on you
danielpbarron:
i think my twitter followers are higher quality than my facebook friends
danielpbarron: that is, he's the one guy in here that
i didn't know outside of b-a and have met him in person
PeterL: my facebook is 100% people
I know irl, my twitter is more like 5%
pete_dushenski: also fixed footnote ii in that last one.
i'm asleep at the wheel here.
mircea_popescu: davout sorta minimum level of camembert
i can live with.
cazalla: anyway going to bed, but
i request la serenissima bequeath me the state of Tasmania so as to use it to grow the best shit
chetty: highway robbery
