asciilifeform: afaik.

asciilifeform: interestingly, the author is unknown.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever hear '... И на груди его могучей. / Сверкая в несколько рядов. / Одна медаль висела кучей, / И та за выслугу годов' ?

asciilifeform: (cz had german guillotines going until early '70s)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had the distinct notion that he was beheaded.

asciilifeform: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9,_%D0%95%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BC_%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 << him, apparently

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: purged ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if i hadn't set up a fresh gentoo box a year ago, from vacuum, i would not be certain that it is possible to do so today

asciilifeform: !s spreading works eating no

asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnbO3LG0i14 << l0l this is a take on trad ru 'все хорошо прекрасная маркиза' !!

asciilifeform: i know of no such

asciilifeform vaguely recalls that slansky was one of the last to be ~guillotined~ in cz

asciilifeform: who else

asciilifeform: autoduba ~= gasenwagen ?

asciilifeform: new to me. lulzy !

asciilifeform: http://pagesperso-systeme.lip6.fr/Christian.Queinnec/WWW/Queinnec.html

asciilifeform: turns out queinnec was never there, it seems,

asciilifeform: btw i take back 'inria was once useful'

asciilifeform: 80s.

asciilifeform: just have the right shade of skin.

asciilifeform: point being that these folks do not need to be interested in inriaism to get fat sinecures there

asciilifeform: yes

asciilifeform: you think they pascal at mit ?!

asciilifeform: in this sense.

asciilifeform: so perhaps next year inria can enbiggen.

asciilifeform: hey i hear fr is getting a new parcel of meat in

asciilifeform: both.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: inria is sorta like their mit.

asciilifeform: ludovic viii was french.

asciilifeform: but inria is usg.

asciilifeform: davout is french

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in the exact way that, to borrow a mircea_popescuism, tsipras is greek.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271992 << he had this expression more or less permanently affixed, aha. ☝︎

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271985 << aha! ☝︎

asciilifeform: but somehow i doubt this is what kakobrekla's friend does.

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: thing is, i would happily take the 10k for 'make sure this box stays up and does x, we don't care what you do otherwise'

asciilifeform: ugh.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1272014 << what do they do ? and for how long ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271980 << wai wat. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: girl is well taught.

asciilifeform: i suppose this could be on the planet in poul anderson's 'brainwave.' but not on earth.

asciilifeform: but yes, i too would like to 'go home to where we know what fractal is.'

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271113 << this. with the added step that some of us go to little outpost of 'where we do', surrounded by a gigantic soul-sucking vacuum of where nobody ever could remotely wish to. and hope that the airlock doesn't fail. ☝︎

asciilifeform: i can't picture it any other way

asciilifeform: how else ??!!!

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: 'train propulsion face' ?

asciilifeform: any more than music, or bitcoin, or particle physic, or, or.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271097 << maths are not for the 'agricultural faces.' ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271119 << perl, 'graph-easy' ?? ☝︎

asciilifeform: one of the few and abortive lisp strongholds in eu

asciilifeform: inria is a kind of burned out husk of something great, sorta like mit

asciilifeform: ah hm.

asciilifeform recalls gnunet

asciilifeform: very sharp emphasis on this in jp

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: if ca were to drown overnight, it could extend the empire's lease on life by many years...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: everybody was in the fscking church

asciilifeform: which is a euphemism for freedom.

asciilifeform: scholars from 'civilization' think in terms of bizarre chimeras like 'failed state'

asciilifeform: 'the art of not being governed' was half about this and specifically this.

asciilifeform: but will believe.

asciilifeform: interesting. when i went to c2, i did not see any crowd dense enough to even think about queues, so can't say i saw it alive.

asciilifeform: merely predicting

asciilifeform: a train station or even traffic jam is a kaleidoscope of little glowing screens !

asciilifeform: one of the reasons they are popular in usa.

asciilifeform: to play tetris on.

asciilifeform predicts that all orcs happily form queues when they are issued 'ipNohe'

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: there are different grades of orc, no?

asciilifeform: the one with 'height of tallest structure that can be built'

asciilifeform: where was that mircea_popescu article about the old jail

asciilifeform: the freedom to brownian-motion ?

asciilifeform: what do they lose, from it

asciilifeform: witness the orderly queues of tokyo

asciilifeform: strikes me as the classic orc/human divide

asciilifeform: or did the spores left behind suffice to re-create 90% of it.

asciilifeform: how did that go in ro? are there no plankton today ? no ponzi ?

asciilifeform: nobody ever actually learns from 'decided practically.'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i said 'does not cleanly compile', that is, requires a runtime component, rather than 'does not compile'

asciilifeform: have capitulated. (or this is implied, i have not asked them why it is 'part of gnu project)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was nyoozworthy because fsf/rms

asciilifeform: scheme with continuations (call-with-current-continuation aka call/cc) doesn't cleanly compile to the c-machine.

asciilifeform: depends on what.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would probably enjoy abelson & sussman's classic 'sicp', which contained, in very succinct notation, exercises such as this.

asciilifeform: tax them ?! l0l! they are the reason ~others~ are to be taxed.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271714 << sorta like 'programmer' vs 'coder' in english-speaking lands... ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'just in time' compilator is something like a memoized interpreter, yes.

asciilifeform: could, yes.

asciilifeform: but yes, it is the ultimate in obfuscation and nobody-knows-what-the-fuck-the-machine-does

asciilifeform: (or i suppose 'jit'-compiled in recent versions)

asciilifeform: perl is (approximately) interpreted.

asciilifeform 'hurled' many years ago, no longer perls.

asciilifeform: and yes, it is mandated (though one may be able to pull some odd trick with the evaluator and snip it, i would be the last to know)

asciilifeform: in particular, with regard to extreme context-sensitivity.

asciilifeform: he wanted an item that would 'be like human language'

asciilifeform: larry wall is a very interesting fella. he's a linguist by trade (actually by avocation, he's a crackpot missionary for some church or other)

asciilifeform: but messier

asciilifeform: aha, just like dear old fortran
