decimation:
I guess
I was thinking of "connecting the pipes"
thestringpuller: ;;later tell nubbins` let me know when a good time to discuss a second order with you.
i think we may have sold all 6 shirts.
decimation: yeah
I've heard of the 'hybrid fpga cpu' design
decimation:
I wish
I could just connect a pipe from the sse register to my own fpga machine
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform:
I'm at a loss for a better name. ALGOL, ~algol or algol is fine with me. Even their honorable ancestor was part of a fruitless evolutionary tree.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform:
I see. What
I don't understand is why CLers haven't just ditched the web.
decimation: that might be true,
I'm not sure
I can contain the set of all possible languages in my brain
decimation: mircea_popescu: The Register is the only non-pure-pr tech news source that
I know of
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo for the record,
i like the slightly skeptical tone of qntra reporting. tech reporting has been awash in gushing for too damned long. some classical skepticism is in dire need.
mircea_popescu: decimation
i don't get this. all machines are multi-core
mircea_popescu:
i like how the b-a search function is self healing. not found anything ? try again!
decimation:
I was cursing python's inability to easily rewrite itself today
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you kidding ?
i doubt anyone even keeps track of mn granulairty.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu:
I doubt this very much. 'Lisp' simply needs managers to understand why they should order those not good enough to sling dope to write it.
mircea_popescu: this is an interesitng theory.
i suspect it's actually true.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2014 00:22:32; mircea_popescu: the only conceivable purpose
i can see for government would be to allocate limits. you want to write a facebook ? register with govt, get a 10k line/250kb limit. if you overrun it you get shot.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell pankkake
i'm getting the following error running your node.sh script: "The following packages have unmet dependencies: udev : Breaks: plymouth (< 0.9.0-7) but 0.8.5.1-5 is to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." << please to help!
RagnarDanneskjol:
I met caleb chen from ccn last weekend - seems like a nice kid and is fully cognizant of his site's derpidity - people are still eating it up, so he's all 'fuck it' - no incentive to do otherwise (besides lost dignity). apparently they have like 40 part-time writers 'on-staff'
mircea_popescu:
i thought that guy was in here but apparently gribble never saw it
gribble:
I have not seen bluemeanie1.
gribble:
I have not seen bluemeanie.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i'd rather sit in a hazmat suit and read good prose than live in a meadow of paper.
mircea_popescu: "To soften my comment,
I would not want to replace Gavin with some loony that thinks the USG is competent enough to undermine bitcoin in any organized way. All this talk about Mike and Gavin being stooges is absurd, and undermines my respect for much of the other (very insightful) stuff you guys write on the Internet. They can be wrong, without being corrupt."
pete_dushenski: thankfully,
i had made a back-up but
i was pretty choked for a minute cuz the auto-save didn't include that last article about gavin's retardation
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lol funny you should mention that…
i was toying around with that this morning, trying to add a second sidebar column a la trilema and…
i fucking borkt the whole thing.
pete_dushenski: "Gavin has done quite a lot for the bitcoin project, and is one of the few people who can credibly represent it to lay people. Still,
I agree with the Romanian school inasmuch as the blockchain increase seems unnecessary and potentially disastrous to me. It’s inviting a fork that will not be honored by a large portion of the current hash power, and the current wallet balance. Thus it is a Bad Idea. What about side
pete_dushenski: hmm. let me see if
i can dig up a quote or two worth repeating...
mircea_popescu: the only conceivable purpose
i can see for government would be to allocate limits. you want to write a facebook ? register with govt, get a 10k line/250kb limit. if you overrun it you get shot.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other words, back to the topic :
i think the people arguing that c is just the way to talk to the c-machine, aka von neumann machine have it wrong - c is just the way average people abstract. fortunately that fit into an already existing machine, but if it hadn't it'd have been forcibly fit anyway.
gabriel_laddel:
I don't understand what you're getting at. (emacs) Lisp still has to store things in files.
mircea_popescu: no.
i mean the fact that you have a string stored, and an apparatus to retrieve and use it in place.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Funny little bit of history. Steve Y. goes on and on and on about how C++, java, etc. (algol derivatives) predictably create massively bloated codebases, gives lip service how Lisp solves these problems (which is does) and then goes back to... writing in ~ALGOL. (
I asked a Googler who was recently on the same team as Steve what language they worked in - Java.)
mircea_popescu: We have 50 million lines of C++ code. No, it's more than that now.
I don't know what it is anymore. It was 50 million last Christmas, nine months ago, and was expanding at 8 million lines a quarter. The expansion rate was increasing as well. Ouch."
mircea_popescu: "The biggest thing you can write in C++ is... also an operating system. Well, maybe a little bigger. Let's say three times bigger. Or even ten times. But operating system kernels are at most, what, maybe a million lines of code? So
I'd argue the biggest system you can reasonably write in C++ is maybe 10 million lines, and then it starts to break down and become this emergent thing that you have no hope of controlling,
kakobrekla: but yeah,
i feel remembered that
i dont miss em.
BingoBoingo: You're welcome.
I just thought... Maybe you'd wait until the polar bears all became exclusively aquatic before ever watching join/parts
kakobrekla: hehe thanks BingoBoingo -
i now enabled those messages temporarily so
i am able to follow
X-Rob: so..
I've discovered a flaw there 8)
X-Rob:
I'll try to keep an eye on it, but, all my alerting is broken because my main conneciton is down
kanzure:
i said they had read it, not that they ignored it
thickasthieves: if the traders are their own counterparties,
i guess it works as bets pretty much
TomServo:
I wish we could've seen the face she made when Vito exclaimed "
I KNOW!".
thestringpuller: ;;later tell nubbins` hey instead of refund can
I just get another poster :( the USPS can't find it
cazalla: mircea_popescu: mebbe qntra publishes a summary, then
i can "watch" it too <<<
i can't sit and watch that guy for 2 hours
jurov:
i barely understand that..but all the adjectives
jurov: even if
i understood,
i'm on mobile net atm
mircea_popescu: okies, logs done, discussions had, havoc caused, work reviewed (btw the eulora art is looking wunderbar) and so
i guess ima bbl.
mike_c: hehe,
i scooped the lawyers yesterday: "It apparently confuses php with MySQL"
thickasthieves: this Ulbricht response update is the first juicy thing
I saw on qntra first, grats!
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves:
i could get more into it, but mostly people dont give a shit << actually
i think most serious animalagans eat freeranged.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla:
i just got used to being poor again what is this <<< ikr? me too!
TheNewDeal:
i remember there was ~280 a few weeks ago?
