mircea_popescu: anyway,
there was a sort-of working js
to
txt item alf was demonstrating at some point. i dun recall where it ended up.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moli_ i
think
the media's just as petrified of saying my name
today as years ago.
Framedragger: in retrospect i *should* have published screenshots. at
this rate original pdf is sorta-better.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you are aware
that item does nothing whatsoever, you could have published screenshots for
the same effect.
moli_: nothing, how you doing, mircea_popescu ? you've been quiet on
the media
moli_: it's a stupid slack
to house people like bamb0u
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course
the cunts in question wouldn't actually be fonts, but anyway. wtf-8.
moli_: hi
thanks for voicing, i just want
to let you guys know bamb0u has been smearing your name on bitcoin core slack
mircea_popescu: similarily
to how
the millionth fraction of a pt is meaningful if you print a km sq picture of all
the cunts of all
the women currently alive and
then intend
to go check out
the indvidual ingrown hairs with a magnifying glass.
phf: i'm not sure why jump
through
these hoops for static content
though. position:absolute; left:
top: still work
phf: that
transform:matrix is
the "standard" way of doing object positioning and movement (they displacement is optimized in gpu, so if you're actually moving objects around it's faster
then css x,y positioning)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 15:10 Framedragger: it'd really be great if
there were a ~decent pdf2html
tool, with no JS. and i don't mean just "extract and dump plaintext", i can do
that,
too.
mircea_popescu: next
time just load
the fucking images, as images, like
trilema does it.
phf: pretty much as close as it gets
to pdf-izing html
mircea_popescu: tell you what, if i wanted
to put uncacheable pngs somewhere on
the web, i'd have NOT needed 1k lines of six decimal place pt specifications nor inept matrices and
their useless
transforms.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
THEN
the WHOLE
thing is five lines of div id="pf1" class="pf w0 h0" data-page-no="1"><div class="pc pc1 w0 h0"><img class="bi x0 y0 w1 h1" alt="" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABC4AAAWfCAIAAADrrCCVAAAACXBIWXMAABYlAAAWJQFJUiTwAAAgAElEQVR42uzdW5Mjx5n/9zzVAUCju+dAUlpqJfmvXa/DYb8IvwiH354vfOkX5QuHI/6SOJzpA1BVmfk8vsBwOBoOyUaiqlDo/n5idyNE7Qy7C4XM/OXhSauq5pKlrhs+3J3yN/i2bW6uDQDgku3++9+P/SOrt2+s9zw6ADgXxyMAAFw6
mircea_popescu: there's also one
thousand lines of spurious nonsense in
the vein of .x3e{left:412.722800pt;}
mircea_popescu: Framedragger a cursory look at
the pile (complete, btw) makes it obvious matrices were not
the correct approach for
this problem, whatever it might have been.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 13:51 asciilifeform: 'On account of
timely measures, about a
thousand infected machines were blocked off , which constituted less
than 1%'. (?)
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1657897 << "due
to heroic actions of Praporshchik Sidorenko,
the aggressor has been neutralized, but unfortunately resulted in death of selfsame praporshchik, who will be awarded a medal posthumously, and his vdova will receive 500 rubbles in recognition of his heroism"
☝︎ Framedragger: it'd really be great if
there were a ~decent pdf2html
tool, with no JS. and i don't mean just "extract and dump plaintext", i can do
that,
too.
☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: pdf almost saner in
this instance. fwiw i did
try with lynx, it showed
the
text. but yeah.
mircea_popescu used
to have a very poor reaction / low
tolerance
to ineptitude in
that vein "oh i shouldnt end up naked on
the first date" from chicks who saw stupid americana on
tv and imagined it's an example
to follow back when he was 16. it deteriorated over
time.
mircea_popescu: and in other random, apparently
the proper way
to say chocolate in cr is xocolata.
Framedragger: (but i
thought
this protects me from gobmint spying!)
Framedragger: that i don't understand, either. all
them web designers,
too, gotta protect
those PNGs in
transit
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, you wouldn't be linking
to me anyway" "and
this says what about you ?"
mircea_popescu: "oh, it has advantages!11". i'm sure it does. you also miss out on
trilema links. let me know when
those advantages even it out.
Framedragger: i wonder if it's due
to
the cert. probably yes. yeah, sad!
Framedragger: you have some CA roots,
therefore you (implicitly or explicitly) prefer some, neh?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why
the specifics need even be discussed. who cares WHAT was in
the dumpster girly put on her head ? point remains, FREE!!11 is a garbage heuristic.
Framedragger: anyway, why mircea_popescu prefers one shit-CA over
the other, i'm not sure
Framedragger: i don't recall but i believe you can define ~all
the params for DH key exchange in ssl, i
think
Framedragger: yesyes,
the whole format is broken, yes EC, so basically almost as bad as bitcoin :)
mircea_popescu: apparently, for same reason
they buy real estate above list price.
mircea_popescu: so is visa paying oleg enough
to compensate him for
the loss of
trilema link ?
mircea_popescu: well, i can only hope
they're paying him enough
to compensate.
mircea_popescu: he missed out on getting a
trilema link because of
the letsencrypt bs ?
mircea_popescu: why should
they know.
they just want
to wifechildrenhome amirite.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just fyi,
the site (osalabs.com) loads - you don't have a root CA which signed
their certificate (letsencrypt cert). of course
the point is still valid
mircea_popescu: back in
the old days, all
the successes used
to be per hectare ;/
mircea_popescu: i learned c at some point, but
this left no
trace somehow.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: one is stdlib,
the other one (itoa iirc) is not!
a111: Logged on 2016-01-21 17:28 asciilifeform: it was asked
to do every damn
time you ask it
to do anything actually give any relevant form of support
to anyone?'
Framedragger: well yes, JS is a mixture of
things, Self, C, etc,
the best mixture of
them all
mircea_popescu: apparently i lived a whole life without doing
these strange conversions.
mircea_popescu: heck, might've lifted whole language from
this paradigm.
Framedragger: it spits back an int if it can parse
the ascii string into one
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what
this is. so what does it do, changes
the string 9
to
the numeral 9 ?
Framedragger: is itoa implemented in stdlib by default,
then, as expected? NO! because fuck you
mircea_popescu: the core is
the simple observation
that if your
trade value of whatever item is above book value, you should continue
to manage it, not me.
mircea_popescu: the discussion was re buying at list / retail is for suckers / buying assets implicitly means
they are discounted / stuff like
that.
mircea_popescu: it's utterly unclear waht your chosen straw man has
to do with
the discussion, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: and i have like a suspicion north korea would
take dollars if available.
mircea_popescu: you'd go and see
the square metre in wash swamp, if you were
to buy it, yes ?
mircea_popescu: even leaving bitcoin aside,
there's obviously bangladesh.
