a little brusque isn't it. suppose you disable it in this feedbot thing we now see for the first time. let it do pm only, work out
a roadmap to switch over with trinque that consists of something else than straight bombardment, and THEN.
BingoBoingo: I guess if
a news is going to be double posted it ought to be Merkel's opportunity to go out with
a bang

a/b dirs
mircea_popescu: the ~only wrong thing is if there ends up added
a switch, to turn machinery from "normal" to "genesis mode". that, no.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 14:19 phf: vpatch is picky about what it accepts, it's basically only
a/foo/* b/foo/*, where's vdiff can accept
a totally random stuff like /foo/bar/qux diffed against /dev/null or whatever. right now even diffing two straight files e.g. vdiff x y will produce
a non-pressable vpatch. this is all not so much
a bug as an unexplored aspect of vdiffing which is also part of the whole rename tracking.

a shit about : romania apparently has some natgas in its chunk of black sea shelf ; usg wants to steal this ; ro senate wrote
a law for them ; ro commons rejected it, because this one guy (liviu dragnea) said so. his majority collapsed because "hungarian" miniparty changed its mind overnight (ie, transparently got bought out) and well... guess who is "accused" of supposedly having FORCED
BingoBoingo during the apartment search breifly considered
a dock at the Yacht Club's Puertito Buceo. Floating house stray thought did not survive 5 minutes.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, you can reconstruct it mentally in any case, yes ? "there's
a fee for the dock spot" "aha" "and would you like your tanks pumped ?" "sure" "this is for fuel this is for black water this is for fresh water do you want air" "go on" "oh there's also mandatory veterinarian inspection" "i got no anima..ugh. i only got bipedal pets on board" "can be waived for fee"
mircea_popescu: but yes, fuel-bought-at-airport is in same class as sandwich-bought-at-airport. 100% isn't even
a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you lack this fundamental experience, of either taking
a boat/yacht/whatever, or
a private plane, to port. it's this very specific thing, like the post-party restaurant bill or taking
a harem grocery shopping.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: the margin it appears they are facing is more than
a trickle of rectal blood given the airline shitfit over prices. Will try to dig up that article
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> hercules tank is like 30k gallons. per plane. if they surcharge
a coupla bucks
a liter, which they do, uruguay airport made 100k in one day for the first time since it was inaugurated. << The price of aviation fuels went up last week quite
a bit as well to the protest of some airlines

BingoBoingo: Anyways,
a lot more military vessels passing by the beach this past week
mircea_popescu: as
a side point, i wonder how many of these cardboard imbeciles, "i'm not fucking my daughter because there's no space in the kitchen robot atop my shoulders for such out there things, not because i totally could but don't really feel like it" understand they strictly can't be anyone's father, or anything else. just items, like the table, "approving" or "disapproving" of entirely nothing in particular.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 16:07 asciilifeform: no word so far on what the brits will do when they discover that the 'sticker prices' for the golden toilets are
a work of '2 old jews and their painting' fiction , and ~worthless on market

☝︎☟︎☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: i don't think so either, but it's
a question of what's the format of vpatch. if the
a/foo b/foo is mandatory or if you e.g. can have v2/foo v3/foo. right now the answer is "don't do it that way", which is fine, but it's cheap to talk through that stuff.
phf: and then vdiff v1 will give you
a/foo b/foo genesis
phf: asciilifeform: right, that's possibly something to make mandatory then, that is
a diff of any two directories produces
a a/... b/... patch. so that you can have v1/foo v2/foo v3/foo and vdiff v2 v3 produces
a/foo b/foo
phf: err vdiff foo where inside foo you have multiple folders. it's tied to whether or not those parent folders
a and b should be implicit, and if vdiff should do the right thing in that case, or keep it all explicit and require the creation of
a and b top level folders always.
phf: or perhaps vdiff foo/{bar,buz}/... should be producing /
a/foo/bar/... /b/foo/bar/... and /
a/foo/buz/... /b/foo/buz/...
phf: but to your point specifically, i was thinking that if you provide only one argument, right now vdiff errors out, so i think it would be better if it produced genesis. e.g. vdiff foo could produce
a a/foo/* false b/foo/* 123 vpatch
phf: vpatch is picky about what it accepts, it's basically only
a/foo/* b/foo/*, where's vdiff can accept
a totally random stuff like /foo/bar/qux diffed against /dev/null or whatever. right now even diffing two straight files e.g. vdiff x y will produce
a non-pressable vpatch. this is all not so much
a bug as an unexplored aspect of vdiffing which is also part of the whole rename tracking.
☟︎ phf: trinque: that's
a valid idea re status code, semantics have changed
spyked: hey diana_coman, ty for testing! yeah, it's
a bit slow because it grabs the feeds serially, I'll have to fix that.
diana_coman: it apparently took feedbot 2 minutes though to spill
a first bunch of the comments after the subscribe, lol
spyked: and there's
a long backlog of lines that I need to answer, will come with schedule for those and other work this week.
spyked: anyway, this is no excuse for my long silence, so: I'ma bring rss bot here in the following hour (it's been under heavy testing for the last month, so it should at least be
a decent replacement for current deedbot rss functionality) and keccak+manifest ircbot tree should be out by the 1st of december
mircea_popescu: i wonder, (sitting all day derping about nonsense) and (begging for
a tenner) could possibly be related in any manner ?
trinque holds his nose and appends
a || true
trinque: is there some cleaner way of having vdiff produce
a genesis than having an empty directory laying around with which to vdiff?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's
a certain porn shoot you requested
a couple weeks back for today
trinque: yep, look at my recent vps lulz re: "oh hypervisor was misconfigured". thin hosting on real hardware is
a market, whether derps know it yet or not. tell 'em.
BingoBoingo: Another thing that seems to have been tabled which I am finding more interesting after my blog disaster is an adult Rockchip plant. Especially now that MP-WP appears to be less of
a threat to exhaust RAM after tweaking 1 MYSQL knob.
BingoBoingo: Incentivizing selling is definitely been
a thing we haven't succeeded much with so far and could be ripe.
trinque: BingoBoingo: could also incentivize them to do their own selling, "get
a month free when you invite" kind of thing
BingoBoingo: trinque: Quite of few new arrivals are already subscribed, but this is
a point
trinque: BingoBoingo: might I suggest contacting some of the n00bs directly, here, and asking them what would make them
a pizarro customer
mircea_popescu: basically, conditions that in maramures produced
a wood civilisation are producing
a metal civilisation among these gypsies -- salt-of-the-earth man's ideal toy is soldering kit.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-10 15:02 mircea_popescu: well yeah. was
a bunch o people, they got building permit and proceeded to built like at home. concrete pillars, brick walls etc.
mircea_popescu: moreover, earthquakes are frequent, the terrain very uneven and the need for insulation nil -- heavy masonry building like my culture favours (
http://btcbase.org/log/2014-09-10#824588 ) provides great insulation and significant earthquake vulnerability but requires flat terrain --
a terrible fit for the actual situation.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there's some merits to this, considering square foot of floor space is cheaper here than anywhere else, and by
a degree of magnitude (unless, of course, one buys into the miami idiocy -- then it's
a good 50% more expensive).
mircea_popescu: also, there are no cities here. the local's notion of building strictly meets barn criteria, they throw up some sheet metal atop soldered metal pikes and call it done. the only city is san jose, and it's
a sorry sort of akron, at that.
mircea_popescu: i don't know that i'd move there ; but it's certainly
a pleasant two day trip.
billymg: with the goal of being able to arrange my life in such
a way that provides more time for actual work
billymg: at this point i think it's either that or texas for me (as
a temp solution)
billymg: which is quite disappointing for me, i was excited at the prospect of
a line of my css making it into trilema! :D
billymg: but i see your point, if it doesn't render properly on
a republican box then it doesn't render properly

mircea_popescu: ima put this in the log, as
a testament to just how indescribably retarded html is :
billymg: ugh, perhaps
a property not widely supported
billymg: hey, looks good on my end (in that post) -- previously the `<br>` was breaking it
a bit too soon and leaving some whitespace at the end of the line, before printing the remainder on the next line
billymg: it still requires manual markup but it has the benefit of breaking at the right character automatically, rather than finding the character manually and placing
a `<br>` after it
mircea_popescu: looky : if you have words of lengths 5, 5, 6, 17 and
a line of 20 characters, the expected behavious is
A) 5 5 6 3 / 14. NOT b) 5 5 6 / 17.
mircea_popescu: what that does is that it fucks the previous line, fills
a whole subsequent line with
a chunk of the long word, and puts the remainder on
a third line
mircea_popescu: billymg no. i am looking for
a html property that will make text flow correctly. which is to say -- break as much of
a long word as needed to fill PREVIOUS line.
billymg: but you're looking for
a css property that will break
a single string when it reaches the end of the line?
billymg: in that example it looks like wordpress spit out
a <br> to manually break the line
billymg: if such
a thing could even exist
mircea_popescu: in this case,
a spurious line break sorta dozen characters in.
mircea_popescu: fucking idiocy this html. so i have
a long line with no whitespace, and i want it to break CORRECTLY. like an idiot i spent 15 minutes digging up "word-wrap: break-word" magic syntax, and then another 10 for "how to make css go inline into html". as
a result, INSTEAD of breaking like i want it to break, typographically, it breaks moronically (stuffs
a whole line of the long line into the paragaph, then breaks it off, but the
