lobbesbot: Logged on 2017-04-28 06:10:10: <danielpbarron> and a command
to query for uncompressed specifics of a named auction
BingoBoingo: So
tiptoes on stacked jujewgidgets all because
tv said so.
BingoBoingo: Well it's inflation. So what about actual value? Gotta march
to 120k classroom monitor!
mircea_popescu: all you get is... "well now you GOTTA stand on
tiptoes, sucker"
mircea_popescu: electricity is not actually serving you, much like
the idea of "stand on
tiptoes
to see better at ball game" doesn't actually serve you.
BingoBoingo: Or Jewidgets, however
the spelling works out
mircea_popescu: but it's exactly
the same as
the rent market : yes, you sell more jujidgets but guess what ? so does everyone else. so now you HAVE
TO sell more jujidgets.
BingoBoingo: That's as a worshipper. As a peddler of a particular juju, electricity helps
to sell more jujidgets
mircea_popescu: truth be
told you don't actually need, or for
that matter want, electricity
to juju worship. be a lot happier with a coupla
tubers rather
than all
this unmanageable complexity
mircea_popescu: how did
that go, electricity + power of soviets = socialism ?
mircea_popescu: to my shock
the answer's not quite as directly obvious as one'd like.
mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating
the point of whether more
than 1 in 1000 humans actually have need for electrical power.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: for a moment
there i almost
thought
there's something wrong with phuctor.
mircea_popescu: in any case it should have been, it's ancient, dude keeps signing others with it etc. "strong set" as
they call it.
shinohai: Tox: "Please use our mailing lists or
the Reddit forums for general user support. "
mircea_popescu: dude's key is ancient and yet reported as submitted
today
mircea_popescu: and
this is symptomatic of
the sheer confusion OF EVERYTHING
these fuckwits live in. "Personally, I will only sign keys if I have done at least casual checking or very careful checking. I will not sign a key if I have not verified
the ownership of
the key.
This weakens
the Web of
Trust." and
then eats up weak hashes and government paper. because why
the fuck not, PERFECTLY coherent with his "careful" stance.
mircea_popescu: 1. let's make "government issued id"
the underpinning of
the pgp web of
trust, because
totally, what could be better or above
the fiat empire du jour ; 2. key ids. because really.
shinohai goes back
to filling his box with malicious entropy ....
shinohai: I'm dying of a snakebite, but won't
take any anti-venom called fucksnakes
shinohai: I'm still incredulous
that one guy is so hoity-toity he won't say FUCKGOATS
mircea_popescu: if i one day actually wish
to entertain adolescentine farts about "qc" or such nonsense ima just invite for dinner any of
the bois oogling my women from a safe distance.
mircea_popescu: in other news : ##crypto did 530/738 lines as join/part spam Apr 27 13:21:01
to Apr 27 21:26:05.
the remainder 208 lines were 90% of
the material and about 450% of
the signal us. i
think asciilifeform 's evaluation prevails.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, idea of
the project is
that any lord who enjoys
this recreation has ready opportunity
to demonstrate
their ability
to dominate wherever
they decide
to
turn
their focus if
they so choose
BingoBoingo: A good compost pile can be a wonderful diversion in
that way
BingoBoingo: But when
the farmers harvest
the corn and
the now hungry stinkbugs come, using nerve agents against
them is fair
BingoBoingo: Few garden pest usually demand organophasphates
to be oppressed.
BingoBoingo: At some point
tomatoe grows
to
the point where it
takes a substantial number of pests
to be a problem. Anyways usually soapy water usually suffocates
them and suds are generally safe for naked girlies
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
there is also
that. Not necessarily incompatible, naked girls can also kneel in dirt
to pick
the bounty.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in fairness i was never serious about it in
the productive sense, more like an enjoyable passtime.
BingoBoingo: mod6: At many fairs,
those are
two seperate categories you can enter
mod6: it's been raining non-stop here
too.
mod6: BingoBoingo: oh yeah, my
tomatoes do well. i did 22 plants 2 years ago, 10 last year. im most fond of
the cherries & romas.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the pest on
the
tomatoe leaf looks like some sort of scale insect of which
there are many
BingoBoingo: Sweet corn and summer squash are other good candidates
to consider, Lords are advised
to consult
their county fair's premium book
to guide crop selection.
BingoBoingo: We had an inch and a half of rain Wednesday night and are looking at 5 inches over
the weekend, so
the Beefmaster was copiously fed in anticipation
mircea_popescu: growing epic
tomatoes is possibly
the most accessible gardening.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Well good category
to start is probably
tomatoes. Growing process is well documented. As far north as you are "Early Girl" or similar may be your cultivar of choice.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo did i
tell you about
that
time i grew
the world's saddest eggplants ? << lol. last year, I got 1 out of like 3-4 plants. it looked more like a purple carrot.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did i
tell you about
that
time i grew
the world's saddest eggplants ?
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: ^ Biggest announcement in agriCulture
this year!
phf: well, i want
to also indicate
that at
the end of
the loop
the value must be 0
phf: what do i do with
that loop_counter_overflow (technically underflow). it will never get
triggered, but i feel like
there needs
to be some way
to not leave it dangling. an assert of some sort
phf: you overestimate
the state of
things here. i only just managed
to ~actually~ get a working very very naive expt
phf: asciilifeform: if i have procedure foo(x in; y out), and i'm calling it with foo(a, a); is it up
to procedure
to ensure
that y is not clobbered before x is used, or is it more
that you don't call with a same variable in in and out?
mircea_popescu: ^ quoted from
tutorial on "celluloid", which is QUITE
the ruby... emerald. by some indian kid.
mircea_popescu: "A few years ago,
there used
to be a very easy way
to optimize code. If you found out
that your processor-heavy code was running a bit slower
than you wanted it
to,
the simple solution was just
to wait for
the next hardware iteration, which would magically amp up
the clock rate on
the CPUs and your app would suddenly run faster."
mircea_popescu: this has been such a fabulous goldimine. we
thank
teh new lord.
