mircea_popescu: the curse of
the 3yo brain,
to be unable
to distinguish between car and cardboard cutout depicting car.
mircea_popescu: this is lulzily reminiscent of
the weabo
thing sina dug up yest. it's easy enough, from
the
tard perspective,
to go "hey, i live in canada, mp lives in romania, basically
the same
thing yes ?" but
then a few years go by, during which mp has lived in argentina and costa rica, and well... suddenly it's not nearly all
that similar anymore.

trinque: kako now runs a public pissoire , voice-for-all, complete with gimmebots, ethertards, etc., many joys
mircea_popescu: this wouldn't be
the same redirecting links in a html, where _anchor_ used
to go
to url1 but now it'd (silently, unless you kept actual html copies) goes
to url2. but in irc format
there's no way
to link other
than by
textually dumping a link, so...
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 16:17 phf: asciilifeform: so right now, if you click in
the little up arrow, it'll
take you
to
the location in btcbase. i
think i might've disabled link substitution at some point on account of it being a subtle log manipulation
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1669131 << it's a
thorny bush, but i'm with alf : as long as
the
TEXT reads historically accurate, where
the
text links can be up
to your implementation. person doesn't like where you direct
the links,
the historicval original is one copy/paste op away.
☝︎ diana_coman: <mod6> diana_coman is a warrior; nice post <- out of
the saddest necessity really;
thanks!
phf: right now i have a handful of hacky python scripts
that simply proxy /mkj/yyyymmdd and /bvulpes/yyyymmdd.
they return dates in kako format, but parse html using pyquery.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu,
that's actually very fitting indeed; will change,
thank you!
phf: i
think it would be handy if loggers supported web export in kako format over some alternative url. so you could for example say
http://bvulpes/log?format=kako&date=2016-01-01 and
that'll give you id;ts;nick;message plain
text.
think i'll write a proposal for it
mircea_popescu: "honey, if one night you see
the artichoke bush sneaking into
the bedroom, push
this lever here and
then hold
the spigot
that way and crank
this."
phf: ben_vulpes: could you possibly add
timestamp (hh:mm:ss, say)
to your div.line's. maybe as data-ts="..." or perhaps as a div.nick
title?
mircea_popescu: then winter fucking came, and
there
they sat under
the snow, green and preppy as everything. and i was googling for home version flamethrowers, for you know, insurance just in case like.
mircea_popescu: i have a lot of sympathy. because my fucking artichokes grew like 2.5 m
tall.
ben_vulpes: "holy shit look at what happens
to
tomato plants when grown by humans" "yes, and?" "..."
ben_vulpes: my blog is story of ignorant american bumpkin discovering slowly painfully each and every lie he's been
told by
the imperial press corps
mircea_popescu: i imagine somewhere deep down
they'll expect i'll come
to believe
this is my fault, or something. weirdo socialist shifthink.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1668953 << dude's in fucking love, clearly. yo benjie :
that's how plants look irl, not girl's fault you grew up in
the boot of a 2 seater roadster!
mircea_popescu: ie,
they hadn't learned
the lessons before, either, and not by accident.
mircea_popescu: of course, same 95% of players disappears back into
the agar.
phf: a fairly inexpensive way
to learn some of
the
tmsr lessons
mircea_popescu: (believe it or not, ~95% of pw recovery attempts fail because
the player lost his password in
the sense of, ALL SOFTWARE ON
THE MACHINE, data included.)
phf: i kind of want
to
take a stab at doing a common lisp
text only client, but i
think i lost my password again, and i'm
too embarrassed
to ask for another recovery........
mircea_popescu: but, which is how
this spitoon unravelled, in order
to properly expose
this for people
to work on gotta have sane protocol, for which you need sane data model or else do conversion, and well...
mircea_popescu: heck, danielpbarron is moving
towards an actuall dvd distro of
the whole
thing.
mircea_popescu: phf
the
topic of making clients for
teh eulora is very much open, my model is
that
there's a bunch of 3rd party clients, from
text
to whatever gpu-enabled
thing.
phf: i
think crystal space already supports limited software rendering, but figuring out how
to properly enable it seems
to be not for
the faint of heart
mircea_popescu: and no, never relinquishing political control, ever, no fucking way. colonial empire all
the way, force
the locals
to either absorb
themselves into whiteness or spawn chattel indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's part of what
the publisher will accept as art assets, see ?
phf: asciilifeform: sure, considering
that graphics are intentionally seem
to be kept might&magic like can easily render
the whole
thing in software
mircea_popescu: imagine, eulora played for paypal ? fuck
that shit with a hot iron poker,
there's NO WAY shitworld claws back
to relevancy.
mircea_popescu: absolutely never licensing any of
this. people wish
to contribute,
they get
to participate, not
to "just like bitcoin with a little bit of censorship" bullshit.
☟︎ phf: presumably
to make it sane will have
to write own blitter
to surface, etc.
mircea_popescu: 10x
the
time, easily 100x
the "effort" (although it is no more meaningful
to compare
the work of republican with
the braying of subhuman opensources
than it is
to compare cpus and breast implants) and so forth.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, looks like it'll
take one mentally competent woman about one year.
the "open source" crapolade was built OVER A DECADE. and it's ~useless, within
three zeros.
trinque: I know
that pain, difficult process
trinque: is
this a matter of backing out of using a big open source item?
mircea_popescu: and
the fundamental point is quite solid :
the monkey hates
thought, because hey, why won't you just sit and groom with
the rest of 'em! PSYCHOPATH!!1
mircea_popescu: dude
this diana_coman poem
thing is pretty fucking epic.
mod6: ah. yeah, well, eitherway - i appreciate
the guidence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i saw
trims of
that in
the logs lol.
mircea_popescu: moreover, replacing a coke habit with a workout habit is, in practice and experience,
the cheapest, safest and surest way
to rehab crackwhores.
mircea_popescu: but presenting cogently and in a
tight package
the man-monkey difference can't possibly hurt
the recent escapee off
the "i can't believe it's not plato's" cave.
mircea_popescu: and ability
to drive is what makes, properly, a driver. it STILL HELPS
to
tell people "objects in rearview mirror are closer
than
they appear".
mircea_popescu: to me either. but it's clear
that
there might be something.
mircea_popescu dislikes
the notion of guilt
tripping people as a resource allocation mechanism.
mircea_popescu: it's ok
to point out how stupid it is, sure. it's dubious
to not have some kind of an answer. which dun seem like we have.
mircea_popescu: this base
tendency is what
the whole google/apple/etc (redhat, you name it, "open source") shitworlds
try
to cater
to.
mircea_popescu: from a purely alien perspective, in a
town with decaying infrastructure you'll still see a bunch of men gathered around
the guy souping up his car, rather
than gathered around
the places which desperately need maintenance work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly as phf describes,
there's a certain drag/lift factor in work being done. have you noticed how effort allocation
tends
to follow "what's happening" more
than "i've
though about
this" ?
mircea_popescu: what'd one have
to be smoking
to not realise ethereum's onl;y function is
to siphon value from
the web horde into
the hands of bitcoin holders is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: hurr durr an
thanks for all
teh fishes, you self-determined, independent minded schmucks you.
mircea_popescu: "nobody reads"
trilema, such as eg "not smart enough
to sling dope" article. but EVERYONE EXECUTES it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it is an almost 'african' pattern, 'at one
time my grandfather walked on a bridge, i heard... i'ma call meself Bob Bridgebuilder' etc << AHA, marlinspike presented as "hippie recreational sailor"
mircea_popescu: they're
technologically uniform in
their ineptitude, but linguistically
there's plenty of sane exemplars in
the ~1k or so live languages.
mircea_popescu: no wonder pantsuit party has no substantial disagreement with china becoming dominating power.
they watch
that inept chinese writing method and get wet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the naming convention (moldbug, marlinspike, etcetera) suggests someone in an office farm in maryland./
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to piss on
the remnants of
the cathedralbazaar, but it's another
thing
to not have a good answer
to
teh network effects.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 14:27 phf:
the interface is not very
thought
through because
there's not enough dog fooding happening. vpatches require higher overhead
than git blobs by design following
the principle of measure
ten
times, cut once. but
that means
that it
takes longer
to evolve a workflow around
them since
the
trickle of new updates is much slower
mircea_popescu: "how was
that shit 20bn ?" "it was before
they bought it hue"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 10:29 sina: it's like, you say, someone hacked my box and stole my bitcoins and
then my response is "use signal. use
tor"
