asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform associates the practice with mircea_popescu , he had never met anyone else, afaik, who did it )

a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 23:47 mircea_popescu: we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work. << i kinda agree that some type of loose style guide should be created and posted to minimize churn/rework to assimilate
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. a map structure and an iterator over it seems clear to me, imho. just looks unfamiliar to a c developer. but not arguing further

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also of interest was the discussion of the slow ~debasement~ of seppuku -- first the introduction of 'kaishaku' or beheader-secondant himself; then later the earlier and earlier finishing stroke, with scarcely any cuts; then the disappearance even of the knife, and replacement with substitutes (fan, pen, etc) for 'token' performance
asciilifeform: seppuku-era jp is quite interesting to asciilifeform because it , you could say, took mircea_popescu's 'people-going-their-own-way-is-retarded' knob and ran with it, turned 'to eleven'
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu nails it, encyclopaedia is made to be a kind of standards document, for what a cultured man is expected to be aware of
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 17:23 mircea_popescu: no skin off my back. so i'll be the last person alive to know anything, and every girl i ever meet who's not a retard feels an irrepressible urge to kneel and beg.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aside from 'which savages there exist for you to enslave when you grow up', encyclopaedia had, e.g., which engines exist, what burns in them, how newton tried to make piston work on gunpowder, etc,etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has an old article about a giant crushing chairs, etc
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 16:21 mircea_popescu: in other shocking developments, /me learned yesterday that some people actually believe serving a l'anglaise (ie, in their bastardized notion, pre-plated items) is an acceptable manner for waitstaff!

a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 09:10 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655460 << most hybrids have some kind of turbine under the hood, even if masquerading as a more traditional something or other.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-14 15:11 asciilifeform: and 'dead bitcoin', esp. if it dies on enemy's terms, would imho be a technogenic catastrophe, quite comparable to, e.g., chernobyl. ( not for mircea_popescu 'i'm rich anyway, fuck everyone' , and not for other folx, who might not even have any; but for the concept of 'gold sans the guard labour')

gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: read the article. Or just the smooth surprise part. It isn't an overflow error

gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: yep.
asciilifeform: how to architect fpga box is separate conversation, and iirc mircea_popescu had a pretty good handle on it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by same token ALL known GBe nics are just as useless, yes
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 18:50 mircea_popescu: the last time us citizen actually said something in public that wasn't marketing-derivative might have been before mark twain was born.

a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 14:36 phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn't touch it in any way

Framedragger: mircea_popescu uses local hosts file right
