Framedragger: heh re
textual devices, i guess i have
to agree. baudrillard... i liked it when i first read simulation/simulacra. yes it was pretty vapous, i mean, beyond
the "map !=
territory but depends how you use words, kid!!", summarised in a paragraph or
two... so, sure
fd_ghetto: (sorry, very shoddy irc connection all of
the sudden. ping is stable so not sure wtf)
mircea_popescu: the girls stuff
their lips with silicon etc,
the boys use certain
textual devices, whatever.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i would dismiss
the whole "public intellectual" v 5.0 as entirely like
the
tv starlet.
they ALSO all sound
the same.
mircea_popescu: random $50 an hour ro
tv starlet. google images shows you
the... well, you know, normal face,
they all look
the same.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm so you would dismiss say
the whole internalism/externalism debate as effectively
tv show,
then? :D
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 15:30 mircea_popescu: you understand
the difference between baudrillard and simona
trasca is
the packaging only, yes ?
mircea_popescu: sure, and
the
tv on occasion has hot chicks
that are a pleasure in private. i know. so ?
Framedragger: but yeah. also paragraph notion vaguely relates
to "log ranges" concept (which i haven't developed any further, yet.) l1 folx give labels
to log line ranges;
these 'breaks' can
then visibly (not obnoxiously) appear in online logotron.
Framedragger: (from irc backlog) eh,
there's ~passable stuff, like chalmers (actually vaguely referenced in logs) etc
mircea_popescu: you understand
the difference between baudrillard and simona
trasca is
the packaging only, yes ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger and why ~nobody sane calls some randomly chosen species of
the "reality
tv show" "modern philosophy".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu:
this explains why modern analytic philosophy got rid of paragraph notation (cf. kant and, like, everyone else), hmm...
mircea_popescu: the humanities
tradition is
that meaningful
text (eg law) is quoted by page and paragraph, whereas meaningless
text (eg, ehtnological notation) is quoted by page and line.
mircea_popescu: well, i see it absorbed in paragraph, but whatever. item, how'd you call
the
thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 00:24 asciilifeform:
this is
to abolish
the line-based idiocy of unix diff.
mircea_popescu: you know, unlike you people,
tru drivers of your imaginary
tractors / flying veyrons.
Framedragger: semantic diff would of course be spiffy,
there is
that.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck can't i add
the string 68 with
the numeral 7
to get
the real 74.99999999 as god intended ? it's ALL STRINGS YES ?
mircea_popescu: it is INCREDIBLY lulzy
to catch fire at "string = number" but
to
tolerate "my program is a strring hurr"
mircea_popescu: that
the rest of
the crap ~dun work
that way... hey. i
thought
that's mostly why you don't like
the rest of
the crap in
the first place
mircea_popescu: because yes, your lisp code should be line=paragraph, and your ide should properly expand
the parens, and afaik / afaies it DOES.
mircea_popescu: is
the substance of disagreement
that you want
things
to read like
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to say "this fellow has no idea what
the fuck he's saying" ; it's quite another
to say "this fellow doesn't know of our hardships!".
the former's an argument.
the latter...
mircea_popescu: what, it's nonsense because we don't share
the same incentives
to misrepresent
the facts ?
Framedragger has not-great eyesight and prefers
traditional 80col, worx great
mircea_popescu: no. i am simply saying i am a better man
than you. and you will either 120 or live with knowing
this.
mircea_popescu: and if you
try
to read people with viewport larger
than yours, either buy a better system or live with your inferiority.
mircea_popescu: in my experience line of code
that exceeds viewport is in all cases an example of badly written code.
Framedragger: code can't scroll horizontally, breaks
too many
things. e.g. visual selection of blocks. needs
to literally-fit-in-head horizontal-wise
mircea_popescu: anyway. you're
telling me you can't read code broken on space like sane wordwrap does ?
Framedragger: ah, well
then yeah, it's pretty luzly :D
tis
true
mircea_popescu: Framedragger im not proposing it be used, i'm just lulzing at
the whole nonsense.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 15:07 asciilifeform: fact.
there is not a proggy
that will intelligently, cleanly, break lines of code in every known lang
Framedragger: so instead of writing code i now need
to write a code editor which can break code lines code-semantically? :/
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mno. i'm
thinking of
them as what
they are --
the author being mentally slow, and attempting
the equivalent of ajax in my fucking
text file.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 04:44 fromloper: I have NDA access, so I have slightly better documentation (but still shit and incomplete). Business decision. Intel only because
that's where 95% of
the market is. Also easier
to do security research on ME and AMT if you can step
through, which needs JTAG as well.
mircea_popescu: let.
the. owner. of. proggy. solve. HIS FUCKING PROBLEMS.
mircea_popescu: your job is
to write your line of code well ; not
to "ensure" random person you don't nor can know LOOKS AT IT FROM
THE RIGFHT ANGLE
mircea_popescu: so ? let
the whoever views it do whatever
they deem fit.
mircea_popescu: fu. it's not your fucking problem. your paragraph is a line. how (or whether)
that line is broken is
the problem of whoever displays it.
mircea_popescu: then unix crapola has non-flowing
text because hey, let's be idiots.
mircea_popescu: no, problem is someone somewhere IS FUCKING IDIOTIC ENOUGH
to
touch
the enter key for any other reason
than end of paragraph.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : how
to fix idiotic (fixed width paragraph) documents ? s/\n\n/\r\r/ s/\n// s/\r/\n/.
thanks god for idiotic newline alternatives.
mircea_popescu: "oh,
the soviets got defeated by a buncha chukas, but it is not
the peace&defense ministry's fault! it's
the supplies&items ministry's fault!"
mircea_popescu: lol, usg.ms duking it out with usg.nsa over
the fact
that
they got publicly raped a little ?
mircea_popescu: apparently a bunch of idiots watch
too much netflix and don't encounter nearly enough clubs
to
the mouth
to know better
than
trying
to apply in life what
they saw in
the cartoons.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's actually a public utility. has absolutely no right over
the usage of its monopoly, much like electric co can't cut your power.
mircea_popescu also refused
to get himself "good fiscal behaviour" certificate when rotards came up with "requiring" such nonsense.
they nearly fell over.
mircea_popescu: since when
the fuck is bank allowed
to judge, what is
this, soviets ?
Framedragger had
to supply a coupla raised invoices in UK for bank
to say "mk
this bzns looks like serious bzns". felt dodgy (i can raise invoice
to ur mom)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check out
this lulz : in order
to open a bank account, ALL banks of costa rica require
the company present
them with a PROJECTED CASH FLOW! supposedly because
there's some law so requiring
them, which i dun much credit, but i do intend
to find a lawyer and ask
their local constitutional court. in any case, all
this supposedly because "since 9/11
the ustards forced
them
to", which is obviously lulzy since
the ust
mircea_popescu: "yea, please, more gilding, and use
thicker leaf, maybe i manage
to sink in earth like a raft adrift
the oceans."
mircea_popescu: "here's
this process makes
the leaf impervious and weightless, sir. or would you prefer we gild
the covers instead ?"
