punkman: asciilifeform: all works of man are either '
fits in head' or 'pile of shit', no exceptions << don't some things require more than a single
head?
mircea_popescu: but hey. professional scholars. all that
fits in their
head are names.
mod6: ok back. yeah, so... I'll dig into this for sure here this month. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. I wanna make sure the whole thing '
fits in head' before we move forward. But so far, looking good.
decimation: right, so '
fits in head' fails
in all languages higher than assembly, on the c machine
ben_vulpes: it verges on obfuscation, and at that point one may as well deliver a binary for all the "
fits in head"ness it'll have.
decimation: re: '
fits in head' <
in other words the 'mythical man month' more-or-less
mircea_popescu: this, btw, is my constraint. fuck "
fits in head", i dun care.
trinque: Naphex: as far as what it means to have a
fits-
in-
head system, please do read asciilifeform's material; he's far more qualified to say.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ... prevention of
fits-
in-
head << can vouch for the pita of this
in clojure
ascii_field: there is no incremental path from -committee of crud- to -individual
fits-
in-
head-
ascii_modem:
fits-
in-
head is the only answer. though it goes well with a balanced diet of public impalements for wreckerz
mircea_popescu: foss seriously has a problem by now. and it is of the nature of alf's "
fits in head" thing.
mod6: asciilifeform: can you make a repeatable build environment for The Foundation to use going forward? Something put together by you, blessed by you, so we're all building/testing/using something that "
fits in head"?
mircea_popescu: the pi is currently being worked on as a first example of a fully
fits in head machine.
decimation: asciilifeform: do you have a favorite 'static code analysis' tool? or do you eschew all such automation
in favor of '
fits in head'?
decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose that if one really wants an os written
in ada that '
fits in head' - one should write it himself
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1 because allowing two ways to do things never killed anyone and 2 probably because i want to see the stuff. i suspect it's a derivative of the general "
fits in head" principle.
decimation: yeah it's a good point. there is a vast difference between 'source is open, could read' and 'design is obvious,
fits in head'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, i think i may have made a breakthrough here. your idea of a "program that
fits in head" and my displeasure at the backwards way linux has been going have a common spot.
kakobrekla: '
fits in head' < meh, some folks fit 50k digits of pi
in ther
head.
decimation: yeah, I agree, like you need a computer that tells you what
fits in your
head decimation: dijkstra would have been a fan of '
fits in head'
