dvsdude: had a question back in
the day on bitcoin-assets
dvsdude: sorry didn't mean
to interrupt
shinohai: We support you *morally*
tho Preet.
mircea_popescu: shinohai you know, if all
those useless libertards
that clicked
the heart button gave him a buck, he could almost make mortgage payments.
mircea_popescu: i'm not bad, writing scathing religious
tract, kinda curious if danielpbarron won't like me anymore after he reads it.
☟︎ shinohai is sitting on pation having coffee and listening
to a blue-jay and squirrel
trade insults.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other disadvantages of kissing all
the random chicks / hanging out with "lesbians", i got
the worst fucking cold ;/
BingoBoingo: Ah, but has gone from mind numbingly slow
to, slow but on par with "feature checkbox"
BingoBoingo presently surprised with performance of "tapcon" masonry drill bit performance in 12v drill. Slow, but no slower
than hammer drill.
Tis possible
the space between compact drill and full blown rotary hammer is without future
a111: Logged on 2017-05-26 17:52 mircea_popescu: shinohai is
that good for altcoins ?
mod6: I
think what is simple, obvious, and kindergarden-esq
to you, is, at least for me, still very impressive.
mod6: I read
through ffa, and it 'makes sense'
to me as far as what you're doing in most cases -- as I understand
the intent of
the expressions. but i stand in awe, especially after
trying my own hand at Ada, at what you've produced.
mod6: i really started getting into ada like... maybe a month or
to ago, even
though I kinda started nosing
through
the Ada 95 Ref book a while before.
mod6: <+asciilifeform>
took asciilifeform year+
to 'get used
to' << yeah, im def. at least a year behind :/
mod6: aha, yeah, i do
the same sometimes
too.
mircea_popescu: mod6 sometimes i wish
to re-read what i'm about
to say, so i write it in advance.
mod6: mircea_popescu: was
that a quote from somewhere, or your own
text just in one large paste?
mod6: i figure,
the more i work with it / use it,
the easier it'll come.
mircea_popescu: while you were still doing new material,
this was merely
tedious and unpleasant ; but since you're doing re-runs
these days it's simply insufferable. ima
take you off ignore now, but plox
to bear in mind
that
too much dumbalf in
the mix actually makes
talking
to you -ev.
mircea_popescu: but he pivots seamlessly, like duck in water, or if you prefer like
textbook idiot :
there's absolutely no sign whatsoever
that all
the
time wasted on educating it left any kind of mark whatsoever -- a sad suspicion confirmed by
the cyclical nature of
the nonsense. so he'll proceed
to defend
the new half second half baked "idea" in
the same manner.
mircea_popescu: but
then, once however many also intelligent, also with interesting
things
to say folks have wasted however many hours of
their life showing dumbalf
that indeed, dumb=dumb and stupid=stupid, dumbalf will just spend ANOTHER half second
to come up with another bit of nonsense, vaguely related if related at all, and pivot
to
that.
mircea_popescu: s, of course, does nothing -- stupid shit is predictable and it's not going
to catch smart people unprepared.
mircea_popescu: as it happens, dumbalf wishes
to spend all its
time, and if possible everyone else's
time, engaged in
the following infantile game : it will spend about half a second
to come up with some strong statement
that's evidently false, entirely predicated on ignorance, pure nonsense.
then he'll defend it
tooth and nail, for hours if need be, exploring every nook and cranny of stupid shit
that could be said
to defend stupid shit.
thi
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem is
this : you're an intelligent fellow
that has interesting
things
to say, sometimes. some other
times, however, you metamorphosize into dumbalf. i have no idea if it's
the phases of
the moon or what you ate
that day or what, but
the change is palpable.
mod6: this all makes sense, and for
this strictness I like it. im just not quite used
to it all yet.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ^ put at
the head of your main body, and see what ends up barfing << im gonna
try
this and see if
that helps a bit more.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i get
this. but using heap is even more of 'adventure' in ada. << ahh, i see.
mod6: Oh yeha, for sure, normally, i wouldn't do such a
thing. but i'm just
trying
to grab
the reins at
this point. just get ~something~
to actually work.
mod6: So my progress was pretty solid. But I'm not all
the way
there yet.
mod6: so
then i
took a step back. decided
to do something like what
the initial steps of my V do; list
the contents of a directory,
throw
the filenames into a list using Doubly_Linked_Lists(Unbounded_String) and
then attempt
to pass
them
to another function
that does further parsing.
mod6: i set out
to do something similar
to what phf had been doing by writing some
tests utilizing ffa. but
then i couldn't figure out how
to even make a package with function or procedure
that used a generic
type.
mod6: asciilifeform: aha. i can
tell you from my own recent adventures into learning ada
that it is strict, and strong.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later
tell BingoBoingo So my consensus piece got removed from r/bitcoin, r/btc, and was DV'd into oblivion on r/buttcoin
though it is still
there.
BingoBoingo: Sure
the car may be French, but it's yours and
the level 1337 GUARDIAN REDDITARD is going
to know it
BingoBoingo: Make
things happen
to Sam, win
the hearts of
the locals!
mircea_popescu: i'd vote for a guy who beat up a redditard. how bad can he be ? he got
the basics right.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I hope
this emergent
trend grows into next spring's congressional primaries. Candidates eating a misdemeanor rap in exchange for pajama boy beating cred.
mircea_popescu: i
trust
the pantsuit clown party is well butthurt over
the serious
threat
to ourdemocracy presented by inept child behaviour meeting some sort of correction in practice.
BingoBoingo: The grass s always greener on BingoBoingo's side of
the fence
ben_vulpes: and
the green grass grows all around all around and
the green grass grows all around
ben_vulpes: fortunately
this is only ever
terpenorary
mircea_popescu: most puns dun work, most wisdom is folly, sometrhing something
the holly./
ben_vulpes: teh java has burnt my appreciation for wordplay
to a stub
ben_vulpes: not
that anyone will ever believe me about
the gorgeous product of
the dundee hills
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the problem with wine is
that better wine and expensive wine do not well correlate. for
the past 40 or so years europe sat on a lake of wine. you can have perfectly fine wines for
the cost of
the bottling, you can also spend as-much-as-you-want for idiot veblen americana.
ben_vulpes: that's about as much
thought as ive put into disposing of my spoils
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes fwiw
there's a "new, better, altenrative" for everything every week. kinda what
the you know, "people ready with a gameplan if
they suddenly got rich" spend
their
time with.
ben_vulpes: when i could muster
the shits
to get down
to "ev summit" or whateverthefuck
they called it someone was noodling around on one
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes:
That
thing is
too glossy, has
to be vaporware
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Then not a plough, but a
trencher
BingoBoingo: Nah, power comes from rear wheel, would have
to completely reverse
the drivetrain and make front wheel drive
ben_vulpes: "free-for-all and sometimes
toxic social sites like Reddit"
BingoBoingo: “Neat little bike, and more fun
than a barrel of monkeys
to ride, evidenced by
the grown men squealing like
ten-year-old girls when
they grab a fistful of
throttle and
try
to
twist it off.
That’s something I do not recommend
trying right away until you get a feel for it, ’cause
the front end needs very little encouragement
to come off
the ground." <<
This
thing is screaming for a sleeve hitch and moldboard plough
