pete_dushenski: if not, i'd be willing to take a hack at it.
assbot: De ce coruptia nu va putea fi niciodata eliminata on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1byDjMY )
trinque: ???Our country is a poor and agrarian country,??? he told GlobalPost on Monday. ???But it???s home to decent people who want their country to flourish, to be closer to European standards, and for it to find its economic niche alongside the European Union.??? << lol europe pls halp
trinque: I'm using terminus atm with the letter spacing cranked down a bit, works ok
trinque: re: font thread, anyone have a monospaced font with decent word shape?
nubbins`: I'D HAVE HAD A BALL AS AN EAGLE
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 19:47:33; mircea_popescu: i think i'd have had a ball as a woman.
jurov recently embarked on a journey to obtain a "Garamond" which was supposed to be publicly licensed and available
trinque is not a designer
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, i just had a very bloody steak. must be because i've not yet discovered how to make beef unedible.
pete_dushenski: jurov at least the new premier is happy to be a woman.
mircea_popescu: i think i'd have had a ball as a woman. ☟︎
nubbins`: "in this method, a pillow softly kisses you as your body thrashes wildly until brain death occurs"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu we might need to go back to the maccabees for a proper example.
pete_dushenski: so a rotating set of meals as a test, a benchmark, to ensure cohesion and the integrity of the social fabric.
pete_dushenski: but if they do, a man is he !
mircea_popescu: "govt" gives you a meal ticket.
mircea_popescu: that's how student = vagabond even became a hting.
mircea_popescu: kinda what being a jew is.
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 15:52:39; scoopbot_revived: News! A not-so-new era begins in Alberta politics. URL: http://www.contravex.com/2015/05/06/a-not-so-new-era-begins-in-alberta-politics/
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 17:35:05; nubbins`: yesterday, the canadian province of alberta (canada's texas) elected a majority NDP (the leftmost party we've got) government
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> iirc we don't even have a uclibc build going. <<< i was neck-deep in this before i got sidetracked by life
assbot: The four points of this morning, in color. Any questions ? on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1c6FO9F )
mod6: ahh, so this is for embedded systems -- to replace a bulky/asinine glibc?
ascii_field: iirc we don't even have a uclibc build going.
ascii_field: (or a freshly crashed and coldbooted one)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: take a few min. to read the patch, if you have not. the behaviour should be logically equivalent to virginal 0.5.3 with an orphanage of zero
mircea_popescu: should really see what itproduces as a blockchain first. at a bare minimum
ascii_field: the thermonuker is (very tentatively) a candidate for merge.
nubbins`: "yeah, we don't have any more in stock, and we're not expecting any more... we can give you a refund on thursday"
mircea_popescu: it's also why it had to be made (it's quite obviously a remake of casablanca, without the "girl next door" slime befouling it). that point has to be addressed.
mircea_popescu: she never actually confronts this, which is why To Have and Have Not is a much better movie than casablanca.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if it's not obvious, the tinny piano in the parlor downstairs explicitly says the woman's a whore.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason nubbins` finds the mentally insane so fascinating. that reason is that he has the deep intuition that the only people worth the mention are the ones that don't actually care.
mircea_popescu: the remaining never gave a shit in the first place.
mircea_popescu: she was a "famine victim" too.
mircea_popescu: a little known jew named epstein
mircea_popescu: of a tinny piano playing in the parlor downstairs."Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid," they'd always begin.
mircea_popescu: Yes, that's very pretty. I heard a story once. In fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound
mircea_popescu: ascii_field let's play a game. i quote and you guess.
mircea_popescu: but this distinction without a difference /me can scarcely be interested in.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's possible he's just a bodysnatcher victim, rather than outright ill intended.
ascii_field: it is obvious as daylight, to anyone who gives a damn
mircea_popescu: today most models have insecure leadership, and so "corruption", which is NEVER a problem, ends up misrepresented as one.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeah him. and incidentally, this is the secular driver of the collapse in quality of life and everything else seen since the 1700s (it is a horrid collapse once you do inflation-adjustments) : back then leadership was secure, and therefore either good or motivated to improve, ever so marginally.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` is her nose big enough to qualify as a rachel ?
nubbins`: "All I need is <username of my dog>, <my motorcycle>, and maybe a little adventure now and then."
mircea_popescu: and to do a meta point here, to go with the meta point above : this entire discussion is a fine point to explain to the managerially challenged why you can't "control the evaporation". where intelligent people lay, nubbins' lateral discussion of "bullshot nobody cares about" sparked stuff people do seem to care about.
mircea_popescu: which is a fine entry point for explaining to the naive why exactly a properly explicit master-slave relationship is the best intimate arrangement available.
nubbins`: "BME was hugely profitable. That said, because I trusted others to manage my finances, I was under the impression that BME was barely breaking even though it really was a license to print money. I was much more interested in BME on a creative level than a business level."
mircea_popescu: (and no, i am not aware you can be a successful king without a harem. your gender is not particularly relevant, your sexual preferences are not particularly relevant either. but you will have a lot of intimate relationships with a lot of other people, who are comitted to you personally.)
mircea_popescu: but anyway, moral being : forget about putting your time and effort into "compliance". for one thing it's stupid. for the other thing, who the fuck are they ?! and finally it's deliberately made to not be a satisfiable requirement. just there to soak up your time and resources.
nubbins`: mp that's a bio for warren ellis, not shannon larratt
mircea_popescu: failed, as a committee run thing.
mircea_popescu: the us worked as a personal kingdom
nubbins`: failed as a committee-run thing
nubbins`: BME worked as a personal kingdom
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anyway, only notable for the ending of the original post, "However this conflict is resolved, I now know that I cannot rely upon my former partner and dearest friend and in the following year may work to build a BDSM dating site that is run effectively, responsibly and for the benefit of its users, not as a personal kingdom."
mircea_popescu: heh. this is also a lot more common than commonly known.
mircea_popescu: exes are the real threat. they sunk a lot more ~profitable~ businesses than the various usg.agency constructs.
nubbins`: yesterday, the canadian province of alberta (canada's texas) elected a majority NDP (the leftmost party we've got) government ☟︎
nubbins`: ^ email from a local
mats: mircea_popescu: in the works, i hope to have deliverables ready by the end of this month. do you want me to rent a server to host the thing?
nubbins`: hmm. "I've got a weak spot for great branding, your company itself is a brand and it transfers so well into the work you do."
nubbins`: and implemented in a timely manner!
nubbins`: you could set your account so that users who hadn't made a blog post in __ months/weeks couldn't view your page
nubbins`: anyway, sordid tale. large chunk of my youth. met a lotta friends and an almost-wife, lost not quite a pound of flesh but close enough to it
nubbins`: as you'd imagine, iam.bmezine.com created an insular environment that convinced a lotta fucked up people that the fucked up things they wanted to do to themselves were acceptable
mircea_popescu: heh. powerball is a language now ? no wonder there's so many coders out there.
mircea_popescu: the way bmezine worked is that a large group of brown shit (random idiots mostly looking into an intersting path to killing themselves, a service boxing did for most of the 1900s, up to about the 90s) got some yellow shit interspersed. these are people who they themselves saw a little further than most.
nubbins`: then later they added a "tracker" feature that, when enabled, would give you a list of the usernames that have visited your page
nubbins`: this site, iam.bmezine.com (still alive in a frankenstein-esque parody of its former self), was actually way ahead of its time
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know there's nothing shameful about being a slut.
nubbins`: incidentally i used to keep a blog on this fetlife-esque website years and years ago
mircea_popescu: and this is also a fine entry point for explaining to management noobs the meta point of why exactly a theoretical approach doesn't ever work. yes, you could read the tcp/ip spec and look for holes. those are the holes in the tcp/ip spec, not the holes in tcp/ip.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122612 << it's actually a fine entry point to explain to anyone why exactly tcp/ip is so broken. because this IS NOT a trivial task. the price for ipv4 and it's undocumented, buggy, slow and haphazardously ad-hoc nat-routing model is that you can't find out by inspecting yourself. the half-assed, quarter-baked lazy slothful and aol-windowesque implementation means that yo ☝︎☟︎
nubbins`: o and the telco gave us a new phone number. SEX-4-ART.
nubbins`: a thousand cards is a lot of cutting ;/
nubbins`: those hanging pages are from a 1000-business-card job that i just finished up
mircea_popescu: check it out! looks just like a print shop
nubbins`: anyway, done deal. now his old bedroom is a gloriously sun-lit paper printing studio.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122595 << iirc he wants to supply customers with units. which isn't such a bad plan in any sense. tho a different thing than what we were originally doing. but no reason they can't tandem. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so... this will only happen once we end up with a million kids we have to kill 100k off somehow,
mircea_popescu: all the people who would have the intellectual capacity to do that worth a shit, we have better stuff to do with.
mircea_popescu: sadly i don't think this is actually a possible task.
mircea_popescu: i suppose "make a sane fucking export model" will be part of the ba sks server job.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you think valgrinding bitcoind is sexier than fixing phuctor or something, but a) it is not, and moreover b) doing it while the other waits is actually negative, it's not even zero. moreover c) this nonsense is exactly how the power rangers got to be power rangers.
ascii_field: sks is retarded, so i gotta write a slicer that parses the gpg blobs and reassociates the email/selfsig/pubkey fragments into usable key packets
mircea_popescu: apparently a year wasn't enough, which means phuctor's going to hang out with the advertising site we had in short order.
mircea_popescu: because god damned it there's a server sitting there.
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 15:16:19; mod6: I can't really check from here, but later tonight will give some updates as to how my v0.5.3.1+OrphanageBurner build is running. last I saw, it was using quite a bit of available ram. was >200`000 blocks, and still running, but that was lastnight.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: xplicit, painfully explicit, very very explicit, specific... << imho it needs another couplea runs. i have a strong sense that something is missed
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for BlueMatt with note: one of the very few dudes in -dev actually doing something useful.

mircea_popescu: it's like a std, basically, they get it around puberty through apparent spontaneous generation.

pete_dushenski: "i've never heard of #b-a. mp who ?"
danielpbarron: but you should be able to ssh into a new unit, download the image and flash it
