that out of
the way it has been going smoothly, and I'm mainly making up for lost
time now. It would seem I'm on
track
to hit my
deadline though. I will probably have some demo output for mircea_popescu
to look at by
the end of
the day
billymg: anyway, ima swing by diana_coman's castle since
there seems
to be a cr convoy
thread building over
there
billymg: in casual conversations with my boss it seemed like remote work might be an option, and although i don't
think of
that as a long
term goal it could be useful in fueling
the initial settling
snsabot: Logged on 2019-06-26 14:48:55 billymg: so i'm planning
to give my
two weeks notice next week so i can focus on actual work. i'm also going
to be looking for property on
the other side of
the wire
snsabot: Logged on 2019-06-08 17:23:02 billymg: in my current situation,
there is not enough leftover energy for
the
tasks i'd like
to be doing.
this could be helped by
transferring
to a less demanding galley but my current
thinking is
to do my
time, save resources, and
then make it a clean break
billymg: and as a small update on
my plan -- i'm in
the process of securing a place in CR but got cold feet re:
turning off
the fiat spigot
BingoBoingo: LOL, of course he wasn't. What would
the MULAS
think!
mircea_popescu: but at least he wasn't parading
the niggers on a leash downtown, amirite ?
BingoBoingo: Anyways, derp's probably vulnerable
to harrassment charges under Art 208 of
the Romanian criminal code despite his obession with waving aroun Article 375 about "Infracțiuni contra ordinii și liniștii publice"
BingoBoingo: Dar a doua oară nu se va mai
termina așa."

that dork, he creeped up
to us while we were watching some locals zumba and all schmoozey "what is
this ?"
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 13:47:13 mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman you still feel like hungary ? have a cuppa
this weekend ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 13:03:01 mircea_popescu: hasn't actually read any of
the links (nor do i intend
to), so in
theory
this may be entirely baseless hatemongering on very comme il faut goodfolk who
totally see
the length of
their nose.
mircea_popescu: twas a moment of renascentist reaction in
the periphery
mircea_popescu: ~same
time london managed
to give itself apprentice riots.
mircea_popescu: i expect
these were mostly
the eastern gypsies. much like
the jews, gypsies come in a spectrum,
the southern arab-owned oens were mostly metalworkers,
the northern rus' owned ones were mostly bear / acrobatics / horse riding / circus and such ;
the middle set mostly
thieves and whores.
mircea_popescu: i can barely remember 2 in 3 of
the modern, english ones.
mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman you still feel like hungary ? have a cuppa
this weekend ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, no, see, it's a matroska doll of
travel, vacations within vacations with vacation subcompartments of
their own!
mircea_popescu: ah. well, we're doing
this europe
thing. did a 8-9 week budapest oslo warsaw minsk kiev etc etc
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 12:22:19 asciilifeform: ( from hanbot's piece i drew conclusion
that mircea_popescu is back home, but possibly he's simply 'night shift' nao )
lobbes: asciilifeform: ah but
there will be search,
though it will consist of a entire blog-wide search (and, since
the logs will be posts,
they will also be included)
lobbes: diana_coman: it was productive, at least. Learned
things, sharpened skills. Know
the logotron code more intimately as well as
the mp-wp mysql "guts"
lobbes: asciilifeform: well,
mircea_popescu's spec all of
the lines are
to appear on mp-wp articles (hence,
the database piece is
the backend for mp-wp, which is mysql)

lobbes: I wasted a good chunk of
time wrestling with proper escaping of quotes and
the like,
which I eventually achieved.
Turns out
that
the "MySQLdb" python lib I was using was shit; had
to switch
to "mysql.connector" which allows for proper prepared sql statements.
lobbes: In any case, not hairy due
to alf's original code (as it is well organized and his abundant commentary makes it a pleasure
to work with, actually), but due
to learning curve of interfacing with mysql and/or mpwp's backend
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-21 23:38:50 lobbes: has been glued
to console most of
the day; almost has
the first chunk of mp-wp-bot functioning (inserting log lines
to blog post piece)
diana_coman: in fairness,
there were - according
to
the newspaper-bit itself - quite a few people
that pointed
the obvious ie 3 people being
totally fine so wtf's
the problem with it??
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: well, it's
the use not
the items,
the usual "omg, not used according
to my expectations
therefore bad, abominable, can't exist etc"
mircea_popescu: yet all
the items involved were standard issue. dog leashes bought in
the fucking mall (and guess what, i
tried
them on
there ALSO, week ago). women produced
through
the usual process some years ago.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: eh, on some
topics some people always "have no idea"; in
the best interpretation possible, because it's so alien from everything else
they have.
mircea_popescu: but in practice, i'm well satisfied it isn't going
to be.
mircea_popescu hasn't actually read any of
the links (nor do i intend
to), so in
theory
this may be entirely baseless hatemongering on very comme il faut goodfolk who
totally see
the length of
their nose.
mircea_popescu: i would propose
that
the
true and proper as well as only possible epitaph for romania is exactly
this "shithole had exactly one billionaire, and no fucking idea who he was".
mircea_popescu: and, of course, "i wonder who
this is", because
TEN YEARS have fucking passed in vain. back in 2009 BOTH
mircea badeas were like "hurr durr, who is mircea popeescu", meanwhikle a decade passed, nobody STILL ever fucking heard of either copy of
them.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: eh, he made it
to
the newspaper, ok?
mircea_popescu: he's gonna get very far in life pretending
to equality with his betters ; as
the facts perceptible well confirm. /sarcasm
mircea_popescu: apparently saying "last night i met some really cool people,
they fucking blew me out of
the water
THUS AND FOLLOWING" is forbidden by god or some such.
mircea_popescu: took like
three orbitings
to process, and
the fucktard STILL didn't put it in, i'm sure.
mircea_popescu: "this is me sitting and you
talking
to people you don't know. leave it at
that." was
the ~actual~ answer.
mircea_popescu: you should have seen
that dork, he creeped up
to us while we were watching some locals zumba and all schmoozey "what is
this ?"
diana_coman: bwahaha and mircea_popescu did not "want
to answer" lmao
mircea_popescu: it's like if evanston, wyoming
thought itself
the center of intergalactic
trade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
timisoara dorks,
they're very self important. can you imagine
this glorified rural shithole actually imagines itself "the european culture capital 2019" ?
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with
threats;
there's
the world wrong with not having a point.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 00:00:28
trinque: and upon
that, a sort of silent
threat.
mircea_popescu: ld and ima do all i can
to help". yet i still
threaten
them.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937512 << it's also not specifically verbotten
to
threaten
the republic. god knows i
threaten my own slavegirls, dedicated as you couldn't believe and
truly and honestly with nothing else in
their hearth but my... well, not my aggrandization per se nor my loving extension... i'd say just
that earnest & motherly "i wish
this man
to get perecisely as great as he possibly cou
mircea_popescu: but
to sum it up clearly and concisely : you're not required
to
try and commercialize everything you come up with, feel free
to publish whatever it is you want ; and you're not required
to
try and publish everything you come up with either, feel free
to
try and commercialize. but pick EXACTLY ONE. don't
try
ye olde pantsuit magic, it neve
mircea_popescu: i'm aware it's very much what stupidity/puritanism/pantsuitism
teaches, "pure at heart in public and very weirdly deviant in private" sorta "deal" with "
god". IT'S STILL FUCKING STUPID.
mircea_popescu: it's stupid is what it is ; and not for any reason
to do with
the outside, but purely from a disheveling of
the inside of
the mind capable of such double-splits-with-double-disavowal.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i had been (and for years, at
that) slowly growing hostile
to people doing both ends of
that, ie, on one hand "i'm not publishing
this, i intend
to earn a living off it" and
then
turn around and "i ain't about
to advertise
this, who
the fuck gives a shit, i'm not putting my precious lfie behind it, wut!!!"
mircea_popescu: but
the latter comes with VERY FIRM OBLIGATIONS -- one has
to DO MARKETING FOR
THE ITEM. someone who on one hand doesn't relase code of item we use,
therefore ~DECLARING~, just as good as if he had deeded,
that he intends
to commercialize item, and
then failing
to do any work
towards
that, is in fact quite dishonorable.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-21 23:59:56
trinque: in
that vein, it occurs
to me
that
this holding back of items such as ^ is dishonorable in
that it's effectively a signal
that one intends
to drag whichever items with him into
the grave/bottle/sea

mircea_popescu: self-evidently
the greatest folly of our
times, "you, muh daughter, should figure out what it is you want" hurr durr. nothing, of course, like
the celebrated stupidities/received ideas of history ; nor as ridiculous nor as pervasive nor as inexplicable because easily dispelled nor in any way remarkable. a mediocre delusion at best.
mircea_popescu: but... it's also an easy mistake
to make ; an easy stupidity
to buy into. and it "explains" away so very much, insulates
the mind from personal failure so well... DOES SO MUCH DAMAGE disavowed...
mircea_popescu: it's neither, eminently. what some woman composing
the 2nd
to 80th percentile of any population of women
THINKS she wants is of no consequence and utterly no import, for anyone HERSELF FOREMOST.
tryna discover "what you want" unless you're god;s own chosen is exactly like
tryna discover if moonrock should be browner
