a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 18:20 mircea_popescu: but not just llvm - the whole world exists, and it produces things such as "'Static linking of user binaries is not supported on Mac OS X. Tying user binaries to the internal implementation of Mac OS X libraries and interfaces would limit our ability to update and enhance Mac OS X. Instead, dynamic linking is supported (linking against crt1.o automatically instead of looking for crt0.o, for example). We strongly recommend tha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only the malodorous phoundations, but the very architecture of linux, with the massive #include interdependencies, and the lack of demand for HUMAN-READABLE specs when device drivers are submitted
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is not mega-mystery. they... let in the vermin you've been keeping out. and project turns into, e.g., firefox.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: footnotes padding was just askew. fixed now. and thx too for the full screen tip.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite obviously i do not know bernstein as a human, but can only conjecture, that he felt like a proper rube , ripe for fleecing in orc land.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: intro to journawhoring
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phf is quite right, the place was astonishingly physically segregated
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they fall into the 3rd category -- they exist so that male chumper has TWO sets of nondischargeable loan to service, vs 1.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point they tried to abolish the obviously-comical 'multiple choice', in favour of... worse thing, can you picture:
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bureaucrat caste swelled under obummer, while the train system declined. so a decision was made to clear out some 'habitable' zones for'em in dc.
asciilifeform: not for the reason mircea_popescu suspected tho. being a city, in usa, it is mostly black, and they vote the democrat ticket.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 15:08 mircea_popescu: "But along with the celebrations, there will be a week of protest against a man who insulted Mexicans and Muslims and boasted about groping women.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 01:25 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-14#1603049 << this is something your theme sorts out. the way trilema works there's a single.php and an index.php ; the former gets loaded when a definite article is being viewed, the latter when trilema.com/ root is being viewed, and pulls a random article. yours could do something else.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 22:14 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the mp-wp blessed method for a custom root page? i've tried writing a front-page.php (which mp-wp didn't eat, suggesting that front-page.php was a post 2.7 introduction? their documentation doesn't do time travel, so the archaeology is tough); and twiddling home.php (but i can't get home.php to behave conditionally depending on whether it's the site root)

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the island of post-soviet (homeland) for the time being :) it has a proper summer, friends, forests, sea and lower living costs; i don't know where i will land after that that, if anywhere. for the first time not worried, tho.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 03:08 mircea_popescu: this is utterly incomprehensible. so there's this bunch of bots that keep making empty post requests, identify as googlebot. here's a sample :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hm, interesting. though no one ought to be surprised to not find a phf & co. for $randomshitlang
asciilifeform: aah but in order to agree, i would have to figure out what mircea_popescu's was!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, 'modern computing' folx are essentially characters from lem's 'futurological congress', thinking that they have all kinds of neato tech, e.g., robot servants, but the latter are just d00ds doped up to think they are robots, and those served -- doped up also, to think they own robots, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for so long as you don't attempt install of ANYTHING not found on selfsame disks -- worx
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is 'download', and there is 'distill from unicorn juice', and i suppose there is, in mircea_popescu's case, 3rd button on the dial, 'ask friend to do it'. but i do not know of a 4th button.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 01:28 mircea_popescu: aqnyway, the "hive mind" is fucking comedic already. FIVE YEARS with the subverted python, got them nowhere. close to five years pushing rust, nothing to show for it. systemd is still mostly a joke, and the hatred is growing exponentially while the pustule is growing logarithmic at that. meanwhile the republic cracked open the heartbleed in quite the painful fashion, no matter how much effort went into "rehappening" it. not t

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> a patch can only apply if ALL of its antecedents are present ; not if ANY of its antecedents are present << this.
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks for talking me through it though. Even though for some out there, this might be painfully obvious stuff, but it's not, at least for me. So it's worth going over in detail.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> "weds 14:00 to 16:00, phf's lisp class". << this would be pretty cool actually. i'd attend if I could get the timing right...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no contest. 1st rule of history vs feeling, is that the folx who inhabited 'history', largely didn't give half a fuck
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no +ev controlled fusion had ever been discovered, or even proposed on any kind of logical foundation, afaik.
asciilifeform: ( re 'public good', the removal of the 'great stink' from 1850s london, by the construction of the -- very costly -- sewer system, finest at the time in the world, is imho instructive. they DID first try every possible method of 'eliminate the problem strictly for mircea_popescu !' -- parliament soaked curtains in lime, folx walked around with cloth masks, etc. but eventually queen barfed when sailing in pleasure boat, and that was t
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shooting thieves in the street, or rabid weasels, etc. definitely 'public good' -- they remain dead for all the misers who hadn't paid for exterminator service aha
asciilifeform: qs is exactly what i was thinking! ty mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: well that's what i'd like to study from mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho at some point we oughta pick up again the 'big city' thread, because the engineering tradeoffs of, e.g., gc, (esp. on hardware that does 0 to help) are very real.
asciilifeform: didn't mircea_popescu only show up for exam day or the like
