phf: oh i
think it
transcodes
phf: it does seem
to mangle ~something~
mod6: im gonna
try
to see if I can resolve
the issues. probably just my environment or whateve.r
mod6: im probably condemmed
to going
through all
the hoops
to get gnat setup on gentoo. i just haven't ventured into it yes as it seems like a pretty
timely, process.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> !~later
tell mod6
http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/fact.tar.gz << complete kit for above. sha512==26198604bff50d3411e343a30b97f4babe3a6b291fca267435cecd6a5438a08862b550198a49dd5549dda00c841d95afc1443f597587710b83c7fa65effa9c73 << alright
thanks!

a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 22:52 mod6: yah, gotta be
the version of my make is different
than yours, plus, i'm not using adacore's gnat
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 22:47 asciilifeform:
tomorrow will see how varies.
sina: trinque: I just came
to
try and get a rise out of asciilifeform :P

phf: asciilifeform: i don't
think it's ben_vulpes's paster, it must be something in
the pipeline
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mod6: yah, gotta be
the version of my make is different
than yours, plus, i'm not using adacore's gnat
☟︎ mod6: now i get: make: *** No rule
to make
target 'gnatmake', needed by 'ffa'. Stop.
mod6: then add '\' following
those.
mod6: to resolve
those, i had
to yank
target instructions
to
the same line as
the
target var.
mod6: also, makefile doesnt seem
to work, i seem
to recall
this from before.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: trinque a fine example,
too,
the more i
think of it
the more i like it. aedificium (=building) != aedificans (... building) != aedificant (still!!! building) and so on and so forth qs.
mircea_popescu: how classical is your classical, becuase
that item is ~60s ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am speaking of
the principle, described ^
mircea_popescu: our cook's
thermometer clearly indicates
that
the fault in koch's gpg is located in
the upper left cpu quadrant.
mircea_popescu: works my foot. "this section of
the brain fucked your mother"
mircea_popescu: discussions of how mri is not science plastered all over
teh logs.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 00:46 asciilifeform: possibly delicate balance, between finding it anywhere in
the room ( as a poorly made amp will ) and nowhere
erlehmann: asciilifeform have you reverse engineered
the
thing and analyzed
the fault?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 19:55 erlehmann: asciilifeform you long for
the days of codepage switching, i guess?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 00:43 asciilifeform: (mostly) unrelatedly, asciilifeform bought some chinese $various , and , in
the crate, discovered a phree goodie, a 'voltalert'
tool,
that supposedly
tests for presence of mains current noncontactfully -- by looking for 50/60Hz electric field. but witness
the surprise : it gives false negative on maybe 1/3 of
the hot mains wires
tried...
mircea_popescu: fucking "spellchekers",
they have 1/3 my vocabulary and no head for puns.
mircea_popescu: children
that should have died of exonsure suspended from anal hooks in
the open before
the age of
twelve.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this endless lulz of socialism whereby
they come up with a dumb "solution"
to a non-problem which sane people ignore ("code pages") and
THEN
they come up with an "improved" solution
to
the same nonproblem and expect sane people
to not piss on
their face because hey, IMPROVED!
erlehmann: result: i
tell people
to not write a book.
erlehmann: i later learned someone corrected all
that stuff in
the file sent
to
the printer by hand.
their loss.
erlehmann: i
think we submitted more changes
than any other book by one or
two orders of magnitude, just because we had it automated.
erlehmann: turns out a bit of ghostscript can fix
that problem
erlehmann: but
then drafts had
to be sent as ODT and came back as PDF
to be annotated. in hindsight
that was probably a measure
to prevent
too many annotations.
erlehmann: in a chapter about evolution of
traditional smilies
to emoji
erlehmann: and
they actually failed at astral plane unicode characters
mircea_popescu: they were fine days - i never switched a page
throughout.
erlehmann: asciilifeform you long for
the days of codepage switching, i guess?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you mean ... just like everyting ELSE
the socialistards came up with ?
erlehmann: koi8-r was
the one where bitfuckery rearranged
the cyrillic glyphs so
that
taking away a bit made it ASCII
mod6: But alf's seems
to compile just fine. So i dunno wtf.
mod6: anyway, a couple days ago, i was messing around
trying
to go from 1 .. Word. And I
thought
that I got a compile error saying "Expected Standard.Integer, found "Word"" or something of
the kind.
mod6: i felt like had been silly not even considering going 1...N as opposed
to N...1
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 17:19 phf: fwiw unifont is not even
the whole story. consider extensions like CTL, which allows you
to have special rendering for a sequence of glyphs. a completely separate
technology from ligatures and combining characters, but part of
the standard never
the less.
mircea_popescu: you know, when
the emperor died of arsenic poisoning upon eating
the "endless life pill", it was not exactly because
the alchemists were charlatans.
erlehmann: i guess
they „try“, as in keeping up appearances
erlehmann: want
to write garbage? guess you can't
mircea_popescu: it lost me at "tries". no computer should
try anything.
that's for (young) girlfriends on
their way
to
the dungeon cell.
erlehmann: it makes it immediately clear what is part of
the grammar and what not
erlehmann: one of
the few
things about urbit i like is
that
the system
tries
to not allow users
to input statements not syntactically valid.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 17:09 erlehmann: note
that postprocessing is always wrong.
erlehmann: mircea_popescu
that is actually a major point from me. i
tend
to drink only with people who either proved
they can behave appropriately or it would not bother me if
they fucked me in
the ass with a supersized dragon dildo while i'm
too drunk
to resist.
mircea_popescu: so
then you do ~what we do when you're having a moment of clarity and are promiscuous when drunk.
erlehmann: almost half of
the code of epigraph is a recognizer for
the input
erlehmann: mircea_popescu when i write software
that considers
the input language, i
tend
to write a grammar for
the subset i am going
to handle. so yes, i have written software
that considers i.e. only characters valid in urlencoded base64 as input and rejects everything else.
