mircea_popescu: which is why i said it's the worst example you could have come up with
mircea_popescu: not in THIS case
mircea_popescu: neither jwz nor mass spectrometers nor anything else has any bearing here.
mircea_popescu: claiming otherwise because you got your sexual advances turned down by a mass spectrometer is nuts.
mircea_popescu: and has, for 10-15 years now.
mircea_popescu: ps turns out, without excewption, in all cases, inferior work, BECAUSE IT SUCKS. it. irretrievably, it ruins work.
mircea_popescu: has nothing to do with belief.
mircea_popescu: "oh i really just want my computer to just work hurr"
mircea_popescu: da fuck do i care what jwz blames.
mircea_popescu: completely ungermane spurious argument is orthogonal!
mircea_popescu: this is still not a "ps is good" thing.
mircea_popescu: "oh noes, how about cabbie". pshhhh
mircea_popescu: all that can be done is repeating nonsense reddit style.
mircea_popescu: period and full fucking stop, there isn't even what to discuss here.
mircea_popescu: no bad piece of hardware is required by anyone but idiots.
mircea_popescu: no.
mircea_popescu: wtf bs is this!
mircea_popescu: this is not to be excused in software.
mircea_popescu: hardware that doesn't work doesn't work
mircea_popescu: YOU CAN FIND A FUYCKING BROOM
mircea_popescu: good, saves me from fishing out that file setting up a challenge.
mircea_popescu: so basically you admit you got nothing.
mircea_popescu: i call bullshit. brb while i prove it.
mircea_popescu: get the fuck outta here omfg!
mircea_popescu: but it was his last money, too.
mircea_popescu: not only he spent his money on something thar doesn't work
mircea_popescu: so your artist IS retarded after all.
mircea_popescu: the man who can't hires one.
mircea_popescu: at least you can SCRIPT IT
mircea_popescu: fact that wacom doesn't work with software means you can go fuck it, and fact that vectors are hard means you're still better off with gimp
mircea_popescu: how about backwards!
mircea_popescu: but "vector is hard" is an argument pro ps ?
mircea_popescu: so wait. "wacom doesn't work" is an objection to gimp,
mircea_popescu: you draw with the fucking pencil.
mircea_popescu: mice ? wtf.
mircea_popescu: isn't he elite!!1
mircea_popescu: it is roughly the equivalent of a "really professional chess player" who plays chess in the dark and moving the pieces with his asshole.
mircea_popescu: "artist" using "drawing tablet" is retarded by definition.
mircea_popescu: it's current;ly the only practical application i (or ANYONE ELSE, given that eulora challenge) have for lisp
mircea_popescu: (yes, gimp trivially works on lisp)
mircea_popescu: ie, want to do something that shouldn't be done, or can't figure out how to find someone's pre-made lisp script
mircea_popescu: that's not the suggestion. what's said is that gimp is like lisp : if what you want to do can't be done in gimp iot's because you're either stupid or stupid.
mircea_popescu: a) dude wtf, gimp is the worst example for this, srsly ; b) your own block dump thing actually works for the purpose you discussed, chillax already ; c) there are all sorts of block explorers, yes. it'd be nice if one day someone makes the blockdump one we discussed but that's about it.
mircea_popescu: wait wut ?!
mircea_popescu: block we're discussing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the version is in the block as spit out, what gfx do you need ?
mircea_popescu: but somehow a buncha derps failed to read the memo re bitfinex.
mircea_popescu: kraken not so much, nobody uses the scammy pos
mircea_popescu: trinque i for one am very curious how bitfinex is going to settle all the buyers.
mircea_popescu: just dumping the block
mircea_popescu: yeah since the tools alf dropped nodes are actually much more usable for ths
mircea_popescu: how would that be great ? that'd be miserable.
mircea_popescu: lol right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah.
mircea_popescu: Adlai like mtgox btc./
mircea_popescu: all the derps "buying" "cheap" bitcoin on the scams in question (bitfinex, kraken) remember : it's not yours until you send it to your offsite wallet.
mircea_popescu: exactly what that guy told satoshi the plan's gonna be, back on the original list in 2009. "they'll invent fake btc, trade it and it will "go down".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the bitfinex + kraken thing is pretty memorable lol.
mircea_popescu: o
mircea_popescu: Adlai right. redditards, "FIRST APPLE TREE!111 FOUND IT IN MY GARDEN!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't bingo run >9k version for a whiole ?
mircea_popescu: pity all the gunpowder's wet bois.
mircea_popescu: so bitfinex finally does the thing it was supposed to to and "cause panic" ?
mircea_popescu: ;;ticker from some exchange that's not shit
mircea_popescu: ;;ticker
mircea_popescu: bitfinexoinica!
mircea_popescu: what the fuck lol
mircea_popescu: bid-ask spread NEGATIVE ?
mircea_popescu: <Adlai> so where do i begin with this bitcoin thing? << get stator/rotor going, is a start.
mircea_popescu: !up fkhan
mircea_popescu: !up olol
mircea_popescu: for the gfx browser.
mircea_popescu: much easier task, too.
mircea_popescu: i need this more than i need a bigger blocks hardfork
mircea_popescu: anyway : i am itching to declare extant browsers obsolete and force through a replacement.
mircea_popescu: should be able to render webm for fuxxase
mircea_popescu: ^
mircea_popescu: nah, graphical.
mircea_popescu: to begin with : did not allow https.
mircea_popescu: ie one that supported none of the crud.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what;d happen if someone made a racist browser.
mircea_popescu: shit dun work.
mircea_popescu: yeah well...
mircea_popescu: and we're talking kbps sort of leaks.
mircea_popescu: so for my own curiosity (inspired mostly by our bitcoin experiments here) i had it tested. there's no modern browser thatr doesn't leak memory.
mircea_popescu: i bet you he gets the bulk of it from womenz that don't know enough contemporaneous culture to just send nudies.
mircea_popescu: i'm not talking to machine talkers.
mircea_popescu: well ?
mircea_popescu: if someone is dumb enough to talk to a machine they should CONTINUE.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even listens to voicemail. i never have.
mircea_popescu: you said sms lol
mircea_popescu: phf why not download the text ?!
mircea_popescu: here too.
mircea_popescu: why not make them bitmaps
mircea_popescu: o.O
mircea_popescu: this problem is easily resolved : there can not be an "any" node.
mircea_popescu: so any ?
mircea_popescu gapes in amazement at the incredibly powerful tool he came up with over dinner conversation.
mircea_popescu: "a" is still not every but certain :)
mircea_popescu: so then you say this, and your "Certain" has become an "every"
