asciilifeform presently breaking brain trying to find what the fuck IF_LINT is for ☟︎

asciilifeform: but: afaik rms was not directly involved with 'locales'.

asciilifeform: (yes)

asciilifeform: wait till we do 'strings'. which is EXPLOITABLE

asciilifeform: diff.

asciilifeform washes chopping block

asciilifeform: my pleasure.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i prefixed LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" ./foo.sh and ended up with something quite like mod6's diff.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: confirmed!

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 do me a little favour and try regenerate your genesis diff with LC_ALL=C prefixed to your shell command.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes, it's locale retardation.

asciilifeform: it survives (in anglo world) like panda survives. in a zoo or two.

asciilifeform: or open a fcking b00k

asciilifeform: n00bz - 'man ascii' on your terminal if unsure what the order is!

asciilifeform: that is, by ascii

asciilifeform: my diff sorts lexicographic by terminal file name. as the gods meant.

asciilifeform: so i diff my genesis and mod6, and what do i find.

asciilifeform: 'pogrommer' (in the words of ex-gf)

asciilifeform: guess who.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: ^ guess from where.

asciilifeform: locale_specific_sorting = true;

asciilifeform: /* Use locale-specific sorting if possible, else native byte order. */

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try this on for size: ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: trinque only thinks this because he took the lsd!

asciilifeform: ^ see also

asciilifeform: brekekex.

asciilifeform: frog only knows how to say one thing: 'i am frog'

asciilifeform: how and what else.

asciilifeform: ^ is what he says.

asciilifeform: brekekekekex koax koax.

asciilifeform: next ask for frog2english

asciilifeform: if food - food

asciilifeform: the 'pyramid' nonsense aside, people do end up fixated with whatever their unmet animal itch is

asciilifeform: why can't herr luther do whatever the fuck he wants with the ink that he bought with the paper that he bought....

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because, apparently, sacrilege1111!!11

asciilifeform: i can speak for this.

asciilifeform: the ragged dervish is permanently preoccupied with starvation

asciilifeform: so not reconcilable.

asciilifeform: orwell - not.

asciilifeform: evola was a money man

asciilifeform: evola ?

asciilifeform: what'd he do

asciilifeform: gimme a smart gedankenorwell then

asciilifeform: which is why i say that he had no option but 'write' or 'eat nagant'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'wrote because i am wrong' is imho correct, but in the ~literal~ sense. as in 'my whole existence is an uncorrectable wrong'

asciilifeform: pay $$.

asciilifeform: hang for a bit, have picture taken.

asciilifeform: or, alternatively, from the gallows

asciilifeform: now ~that~ would be a mega-'selfie'

asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: snore. not even from inside crematorium

asciilifeform: same thing

asciilifeform: wrote because the choices are 'write into a bottle' or 'eat bullet'

asciilifeform: message in a bottle.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i never got the impression that o had pretences to 'great'. he wrote for the archaeologist. as i do.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: considering that c died while mr o was a grunt in spain and had total of what, 100 pgs, printed

asciilifeform: (chesterton, naturally, as stand-in for his imagined opposition)

asciilifeform: or orwell's 'spanish armada sank' vs chesterton's 'fuck off'

asciilifeform: it is the name for, in this case, the monkeyrape

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever hear term 'hatefact' ?

asciilifeform: perhaps it is like being a mollusc? or hawk? or which other animals were mentioned

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta have at least a minimal scheduler for tcp/ip

asciilifeform: sierra is mainly known the the adventures

asciilifeform: if must start with one - sierra.

asciilifeform: buncha others.

asciilifeform: infogrames

asciilifeform: also microprose, adeline, psygnosis...

asciilifeform: and 'lucas'

asciilifeform: trinque: pretty much anything by 'sierra'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in http://qntra.net/2015/08/collected-notes-on-the-xt-client-and-xtcoin-fork

asciilifeform: right now just points to my site root

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what's the 'soft pliable other thing' link?

asciilifeform: yes, no news, not for long time. but it remains.

asciilifeform: dos is to game as greece is to philosophy.

asciilifeform: to me game on computer is fucking ~synonymous~ with dos.

asciilifeform: jurov: why long, set up a dos box, enjoy the maxint games which were maxint times better than anything available today.

asciilifeform: the interesting one, naturally.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1246308 << aha. for instance, one fella i know loaded the new (today's) 'ashley madison' crud. and one of the archive balls fails pgp sig. ☝︎

asciilifeform: not one lick.

asciilifeform: it literally gives nothing over the naked iron, for this job.

asciilifeform: jurov: there's no role for a single byte of the dos in ther

asciilifeform: they have consensus!

asciilifeform: i know 'cause i just asked a fly.

asciilifeform: and the next time you sit in the sun, eating ice cream, remember that it is the flies that give ice cream its value. ☟︎
