mircea_popescu: intellectually, not yet matured enough to reach past infantile superficiality into adult interesting.
mircea_popescu: if any girly cunt substance gets in there it permanently ruins things.
mircea_popescu: re just scary, the entire existence of all these boi clubs, "open source", "being an engineer" etcetera is predicated on the conceptual treefort.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing is i thought there was a chan in that vein registered already. wasn't there ?!
mircea_popescu: as it happens i was just going through the complete works by cosbuc these days
mircea_popescu: "Zici ca de m-ai fi cerut mamei tale nora-n casa, n-as fi vrut sa merg? E, lasa! Ca de-o fata cui-i pasa, nu se ia dupa parut! De-ntrebai, ai fi vazut!"
mircea_popescu: (obviously ~all imbulzeala is pullulative in nature, wtf else could it be.)
mircea_popescu: "Si sa-i spui lui maicata ca tu esti femeia mea si de nu vii tu acasa vine Gyuri nu te lasa. Daca nu vii tu in sura scot cutitul din centura!!!" << bolund.
mircea_popescu: 17yo ilona goes to work "in town", in strul the 59 yo jew's household instead of playing with ferenc at the haystack ; drives ferenc bolond.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, nah, bolund is "madness in young men driven by females their age ensconced in bourgeois walls about"
mircea_popescu: hey hanbot how's this sound : "You, with bread and knife at hand, yet die starv't, uncomprehend't."
mircea_popescu: item is imo moderately didactic, demonstrates selection-by-enumeration & selection-by-threshold in the bundle. can do errything.
mircea_popescu: basicaly it 1. establishes the highest article guid ; 2. it picks a value up to that (with a lot of leverage for criteria, turns out i had a special ro-only thing made by alf's request at some point) and then requests it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, supposedly these are highly intelligent folk. supposedly the definition of "highly intelligent" is "can learn other than from bitter experience", nfi.
mircea_popescu: "the kidney is composed of the maxint part superior, the maxint part inferior, and the lizard hitler part central"'=
mircea_popescu: so yes, they'll sit there droning about "abstract considerations", when they're, like any 9yo, simply procrastinating, instead of going to take a piss they'll tell you the theory of the parts of the kidney while wetting themselves
mircea_popescu: they just say words, devoid of particular notional content. "partnership", aka "that thing where i shit on every hand you extend every which way to sunday & for years, but it's okay because mommy loves me unconditionally"
mircea_popescu: the problem with the deanged is that they lie, "they don't mean to", whatever, bla bla.
mircea_popescu: (exactly the same situation, p to q as a to b, is what i mean)
mircea_popescu: just because we have a word to distinguish pedophiles from camp guides while to date there wasn't a word to distinguish "being an engineer"s from people working in engineering dun mean it's not exactly the same fucking thing.
mircea_popescu: and yes, the average person can scantly tell the difference, "the difference between pedophiles and pedagogues is that pedophiles actually like children"
mircea_popescu: people will give up engineering as an activity if there's enough "being an engineer" nutcases involved.
mircea_popescu: but yes, people afflicted with "being an engineer", the mental disease, often end up working ~as~ engineers. it's a lot like pedophiles working as camp guides or w/e : superficially they're some of the best, most serious & dedicated etc workers in the field ; but as a group they're also pretty much the only serious danger to the field -- people will definitely stop sending their kids to camp if there's enough pedos running c
mircea_popescu: yes, well, buboes are also not the cause ; but it's still called the bubonic plague
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, you feel like drafting an aa clone ? who knows, maybe your destiny is to run the engineer recovery castle.
mircea_popescu: maybe the way out is rather in the vein of handling addiction, make an Engineers Anonymous, build up a list of tenants, "i understand i have a problem, that i can't fix but i can try to manage, and by the higher power as i understand it ima try" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: i also don't subscribe to
anon theories re frontal lobe damage & general degenerescence. yes hoarders show very similarily impaired cognition, but they're ~old~, and old only. "engineers" occur like schizophrenia, in the 30s.
mircea_popescu: i understand the more fashionable neoprotestant theory on the topic requires "i can do anything" as a hard prerequisite, and therefore "personal development" or "growth" is a boundless field of possibility. i'm... well, moderately optimistic on this topic, in the sense that i don't for a second credit such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: a kid who doesn't speak by four might speak by five, and if not by five then by six. but a kid that's not spoken by twenty is not likely to speak by thirty -- the early years matter a lot more than the latter years in the natural resolution of retardation.
mircea_popescu: minus, i guess, the lsd theory, as the one exception. i'm rather with the classical psychology camp : the fundamental breakage in cognitive development brought into view by the unyielding flow of events was probably definitively formed by age 12 ; developmental delay is sometimes recuperated in later years -- but in the ~early~ later years.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile -- as perhaps the strangest case of sycophants & cut-throats hypnotizing the supposed mastermind in recorded history, it turns out that i... actually agree with ~everything~ everyone else said to asciilifeform (not that it's hard, the various rays being remarkably collimated, there's harmonic agreement the likes of which cultists' dreams are made of).
mircea_popescu: i'd go as far as to say that any feed without a guid is ~therefore~ broken, and any software putting out such a thing has to be fixed.
mircea_popescu: spyked, guids in rss are the postid, this isn't exactly arbitrary, it's a numeric gensym for the article -- guaranteed to monotonically increase over time.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect we'll eventually need a good algo because we'll prolly keep running into this problem. it's a first class primitive, to my eye.
mircea_popescu: how to do this, however, is admittedly a very hard problem, and i don't expect a solution has to be found/deployed rightnao.
mircea_popescu: there's an aspect under which it's currently agnostic, namely that articles come in an entropy-locked timeflow, whereas it expects to see them as random lists.
mircea_popescu: anyways -- i dun think a blog should list pingbacks either in the comment rss or in the "new comments" navbar.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : i'm pretty suspicious of something after-i-released it, because ~my~ mp-wp doesn't do the weird thing re chars/encodings spyked & all been comp;laining about.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in imperial lulz, the ministry of continued pretense has merged tumblr into...
mircea_popescu: the fact is that a WHOLE COUNTRY, literal millions of engineers, gathered together in what was, for all practical purposes, a political party, produced... nothing, over 20 years.
mircea_popescu: sadly i'm not equal to the task ; i have no fucking idea how that wouldsound in english.
mircea_popescu: we hang spyked for shoddy bot coding once he shows up, whynot :D
mircea_popescu: i mean, your rss page was 5 items, which feedbot knew ; then your rss page had 1k items, of which feedbot knew... the first five. so listed the rest.
mircea_popescu: what happened is the content of rss page changed drastically.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, well, i dunno about redefined. rated 9 here aka l1
