this about you.
mircea_popescu: phf i'll propose
to you
that
the problem is
too much over"thinking".
the idea is
to get
the idiot stop doing what he
thinks is
thinking.
phf: asciilifeform:
that's silly. it
took you many years
to arrive
to
the point where you even understand what "stop overthinking" is, or how
to manifest it in code and still provide
the solution. i problem is in
too much
thinking,
then you could get a complete idiot
to write ffa.
mircea_popescu: and so you hear
the better hos going "or else what ? whatcha gonna do, bitch ?"
to
their mother on occasion, and know you've struck gold.
mircea_popescu: kids about
the age of i dunno, 15 or so if
they're really late with
the brain development discover ourdemocracy spawned parents can never
threaten.
mircea_popescu: there's
the pedosmile ; and
then
there's
the castratocantthreato smile.
mircea_popescu: no, not really. fud is closer
to
the
tmsrt notion of army in being
than
to
the ustard notion of stupid males with cunts whining.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking pile of fail consists of
the vague hope someone may be dumb enough
to
take a barking caterpillar for a dog.
mircea_popescu: the
tikrit fucking offensive. if you actually had
the means
to do an embargo on russia, would you announce it in advance ? if you had
the actual men and materiel
to
take as much as an ozarks farm, would you announce it in advance ? etfc.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 18:24 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate
think.
there's
two kinds of
think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of
trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ;
the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described as spinning, whereby specific emotional
triggers / detriggers are visited in succession.
the prussian model was never concerned with
the former in any sense, but merely aimed
to elimi
phf: just because socialists stole
the
terminology, doesn't mean
that words somehow lost
their meaning
phf: nah, potato programming doesn't contain any sort of insight.
the quality is a bit higher, once you're done wrestling with
the compiler, but it
takes experience, intelligence and
taste
to come out on
the other end.
phf: bulk of ada code i've seen so far is very much workingmen code, cobol like stuff from
the belly of industrial facilities
phf: well, problem is
that
there doesn't seem
to be much in
terms of
tasteful ada code available
to public. with common lisp you can go
to mid-90s and before and you start getting some very reasonable works, worthy imitation.
phf: proprietary crapolade is still preferable
to
the "compatibility packages", which are often poorly written (hello, cffi!) and ripe for modernization (uiop)
phf: for
the longest
time i
thought
that common lisp spec is a magic paper against modernization. not so, and you can see it with
the recent evolution of sbcl. for example
they made it an error
to locally shadow cl package symbols, e.g. (flet ((first (...))) ...) will fail, breaking a lot of reasonable old code. many historic idioms likewise produce compilation warnings, etc.

to your -cargs
to replace .o output with readable asmolade
diana_coman: well, I can't see how slow accumulation of concession
to shit leads
to anything other
than "chemically bonds
to it" at some point
☟︎ phf: and
they are coming from
the "formal verification" direction, via spark
☟︎ phf: fwiw it invalidate your
thesis
that ada is hipster proof
phf: just
to clarify, is not a weather balloon, it's an autonomous uav glider
phf: another amusing point for how little it does AND assisted by both ada and spark
they still manage
to introduce 3 "mistakes"
phf: well, it's written by real
time os people, rather
than, you know, flight engineers, so naturally
phf: i'm not sure how kosher it is (it's SPARK but
they also use gnat extensions), i'm just recreating
their project at a local hackerspace
phf: i haven't stayed up
to date, i'm instead studying
this avionics software source code (it's a bit iffy, written by universities, but has a wider variety of stuff)
andreicon: thx a lot guys, i feel like i'm going
to have a good
time
talking
to you here
diana_coman: as otherwise one can't even know it's *you*
talking next
time
andreicon: sorry
to cut
this short but i gotta switch offices
shinohai: I'd recommend it as worth
taking
the
time
to learn
to anyone interested in computing.
andreicon: i'm not yet familiar with
the inner workings of
the init system
andreicon: shinohai: so would you recommend gentoo
to an intermediate user?
shinohai: I am a former Debian user, now ashamed
to say I used it for so long after being here and learning
to gentoo properly.
andreicon: nevermind
that... i just felt i was stuck so i had
to get my mind busy with something else
andreicon: i'm
thinking of switching
to something different
diana_coman: in some sense all of
them are binary based
too
andreicon: openbsd led
to mircea popescu donation 20k
☟︎ diana_coman: do you know
that curse "may you live in interesting/exciting
times"?
andreicon: but
then... i had already used fedora before
andreicon: just looking around, i was actually
thinking of switching from my current debian installation
to something more exciting
☟︎ andreicon: maybe even switch my node
to
the version you recommend
andreicon: i'll look into it later
this evening
diana_coman: ahh, I see;
take it easy, it's a deep rabbit hole
andreicon: and 5 minutes ago i found
thebitcoin.foundation which linked
to here
diana_coman: plenty of
time around here; it's a logged chan
too, so people will read when
they wake up/come around
andreicon: i had just learnt of
the existence of #trilema and
thebitcoin.foundation
andreicon: okay, i suspected
that. sry. let's stick
to english
andreicon: i don't
think i've updated mine in a while
andreicon: does
that confer me a higher status in
the republic?
andreicon: .. of participating in
this... game?
shinohai: Results may vary depending on
time of day and my level of sobriety at
the moment.
andreicon: shinohai: are you one of
them? your spelling is
too good
