mircea_popescu: so then you throw the switch and watch in amazement as... nothing happens.
mircea_popescu: so php has a "ignore repeated location / type of error" dual switch. which inexplicably comes NOT THROWN. because yeah, this is totally logical, if someone doesn't care about one instance you gotta provide them with infinity instances of the same thing. idiots.
mircea_popescu: fine. so ? learning's still learning, whether he does or doesn't.
mircea_popescu: so a bunch of idiot americans band together, agree to not learn, and expect teacher to "throw the curve".
mircea_popescu: but none of this changes the fact that waiter is an actual profession.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental argentinian-ness of the human mind, "oh, ok, this is what i get paid, now how could i move down what i gottaq do for it ?" really needs the british imperial "fuck you, you don't eat" as typified by lord newton.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is the path to failure : first, professionals want to do less work for the same money ; then, parasites move in to do the same work, for less money. and the lemon cycle persists.
mircea_popescu: WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT "STRICT STANDARDS" AND "DEPRECATED" AND ALL YOUR STUPID SHIT! jesus!
mircea_popescu: so i edited fucking php ini, restarted the whole shebang, it STILL spits its dumbass warnings and notices omfg.
mircea_popescu replaces E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT that apparently GETS IGNORED ANYWAY with E_ERROR and fu.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Meprobamate << amusingly, this was widely dispensed for... ulcer.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "oh, but it helps people. it calms my nerves!" was iirc the state-of-the-art in tobacco "critiquing" for about a century.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: why the fuck would they take xanax in the first place.
mircea_popescu: "Apparently Juniper only realised this recently and not when they were issuing KB28205." yaya.
mircea_popescu: Update: Shortly after reading my post, Willem Pinckaers pointed out that the reseed_system_prng function sets the global variable system_prng_bufpos to 32. This means that after the first invocation of this function, the for loop right after the reseed call in system_prng_gen_block never executes. Hence, the ANSI X9.31 PRNG code is completely non-functional.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and this is kinda also what powers the "uber revolution" : if you're willing to go from drivers to unskilled labour, you may "save" a little change off your ride and uber can make a killing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's a rough rule of thumb : if the guy bringing you your donut is making below minimum wage, he is BY DEFINITION of the terms "minimum wage" and "waiter" NOT a waiter. because being a waiter IS A PROFESSION, just like being a computer engineer or a driver. meanwhile minimum wage is reserved for UNSKILLED!!! labour. like webstack developers and singer-songwriter-tablewaiters.
mircea_popescu: bahwhahahahaha. random douche who thinks "waiters" = the douches just like him moving around tgi tuesdays is going to TEACH something, by repeating it over and over. an' thart something ain't gonna be "this fat poor sucker's also a jerk". it's gonna be something else. because he's the not so little train engine that can!

mircea_popescu: (btw, is this known universally or just ro junior high amusement ? buncha kids get around tree, see who pisses on it the highest ?)
mircea_popescu: that's what they said back at camp when we were doing the piss up tree competition.
mircea_popescu: you ain't homosexual or a male, sweetie. you're just a girl with too much loose change in her brainbox.
mircea_popescu: no, that's not the issue. the issue is that a dumbass feminist who ate enough so you can't distinguish her wasp bites from man boobs imagines herself a "homosexual male".
mircea_popescu: THAT is the problem. idiot imagines what sane people will choke on is the notion that she's a dumbass feminist.
mircea_popescu: Many think that Intersectional Feminism is at odds with cis het white men. This stems from the fact"
mircea_popescu: "Most people would assume I am a walking oxymoron. At least, they would assume the latter part of that word. However, I am here today to give you a glimpse of how it is possible to be a cissexual heterosexual white male intersectional feminist and how I’m living proof.
mircea_popescu: <davout> DNS resolution doesn't seem to work << what do you see ?
mircea_popescu: lol theymos got -39 reddit votes. clearly teh system wurx.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's based on how they judge their ability to comprehend wtf alf did. "this is crazy" "this is batshit insane" "i have no idea wtf this even is" and perhaps other layers.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> interesting to note the various timelines for replication of trb work <<< quite.

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> war <<< "There will not be any hardfork for at least the next ~year." <<< mno. no war, sheepish surrender. we find these terms acceptable, to quote !churchill.

mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, telecentro sa might be the shittiest isp the world has ever seen.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ind-99997K.sh) and make it executable (chmod +x build-bitcoind-99997K.sh) and then you run it (./build-bitcoind-99997K.sh). that's pretty much it, takes half hour or so, spits out an executable bitcoind (in /rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src).
mircea_popescu: anyway, for pete_d and anyone else who might have encountered difficulty with trb or fears they might : it's actually rather painless. 1. you create an account on a server ; 2. you cd /home/account_name ; 3. you create a .wot directory (mkdir .wot) ; 4. you put the pubkeys of people you trust in there as name1.asc, name2.asc etc ; 5. you download the rotor script (curl deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-99997K.sh > build-bitco
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "blocks" : 2034, "connections" : 10, << we're in bidnis.

mircea_popescu: anyway. the only congrats that are in order go to teh foundation. well done peeps.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not sure it'd actually do anything useful.
mircea_popescu: mod6 one thing to consider : rather than a wd to set the wot dir, simply have it put stuff under current dir ?
