mircea_popescu: actually i can
tell ye
this : in
the above context, "not legal" also includes situations where it's
technically legal but more expensive
to comply
than worth bothering (worth as defined by mass scale producers)
shinohai: ack missed
that - cat logs.txt | grep 'whereindafuqismircea_popescu'
mircea_popescu: lawyer sent me memo
ten years ago "careful about
taking your cane on
trip,
they're insane" etc.
mircea_popescu: it's no longer legal
to make items with animal leatherf in
the us pretty sure.
mircea_popescu: also go
to five star hotel, check out
their
towels. or buy one of
those new and cuddly bathrobes for gf. also microfiber
mircea_popescu: the original item is of course goretex, 1960s
tech, where you heat
teflon and suddenly pull on it, makes
this 8-9-1k%
the size microporous structure.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 12:03 asciilifeform: omfg jurov mathematica ain't a
typesetting system!
shinohai: I
think
those
types will always exist .... I found it mirthful
that
they showed up in
the comments section of
the dao hacker article on
trilema.
shinohai finds V far easier
than git now for some reason .....
mod6: I hope it's not
too prohibitive.
mod6: over something
that should have been
totally
trivial.
mod6: i've quite noticed
that actually. i was
trying
to figure out "packages" and did an evening worth of headbanging.
mod6: right, ya, something like
that. i've got
the links
to all
the sample proggies from before
too. so, maybe i'll extend one of
them, or
that one, or make my own.
mod6: will
think on sample projects
to get me into
the groove.
mod6: was
thinking maybe something V-like, since it's fresh in my mind. but
the string manip might get
tedious and ugly and detract from
the overall goal.
mod6: something
to get into it a bit, but not
too deep. before I
try
to dig into anything on
the btctron level.
mod6: yah, im not sure im quite
there yet. what i really need
to start in on is a decent enough sample program.
mod6: thanks for
the link.
mod6: i've been going
through ada95, and it helps with some of
the weird stuff like X` and P` or whatever.
mod6: i have
to say
that some of
the ada stuff is a bit non-obvious by syntax only.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 07:09 ben_vulpes has clearly not read
the ada books
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 06:55 mircea_popescu:
there's a certain artisan's "i will
touch all
the items" vein in
there.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 05:51 mircea_popescu: some of
the new microfibers aren't bad.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, mosul successfuly conquered ; russian reports of mass bombing of civilians entirely untrue. don't fall for fake imitations, always read only
the genuinotrue Real News (tm) !
ben_vulpes: the implicit return of previously-defined return values or whatever-the-hell-is-actually-going-on
there is pretty nifty
ben_vulpes: come now, not serious in
the slightest
mircea_popescu: eh get out. who do you know
that actually lives for beer ?
mircea_popescu: it's a fact
though, she's going
to keep herself cleaner for you
than she's going
to for herself ; and
this stands even if you don't say anything.
ben_vulpes: although i imagine less 'army of lovers' and more 'everyone who *didn't* shit in
the codebase is doing pushups'

the washing
thing is a serious problem.
turns out
that if no women around, people stop seeing
the point.
mircea_popescu: they drew
the conclusion
that optionality is not enough, and work safety must be provided
through regulation.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this directly relates
to
the sad observation of labour activists in
the 19th century,
that labour is entirely disinterested in its own welfare, and will readily
take jobs ~well known~
to be harmful, overly risky, etc. (radium girls go right in here).
mircea_popescu: because if it's your own feet, you may well not be bothered
to dry
them out each day.
mircea_popescu: this, as you might imagine, was a major problem in ww1, which is why it's even called "trench foot". it was
then discovered
the best solution
to
the problem is pairing all
the soldiers and having each responsible for
the feet of
the other
mircea_popescu: in other random lulz :
there are many diseases of
the foot, all of
them rather similar : capilaries die,
then
the skin gets colonized by fungus and bacteria,
then
the nerves die and
then gangrene sets in. frostbite is not necessary ; nor is diabethes -- something as simple as keeping
the feet in warm mud for half a day, or wet for a few days in
the same socks will do it.
ben_vulpes: oops
there i go being nonjudgemental again
mircea_popescu: there's a certain artisan's "i will
touch all
the items" vein in
there.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i always
thought
that was by choice rather
than necessity.
mircea_popescu: if you're doing all
the
trenching anyway, actually documenting it is not much more load, and
totally worth it.
ben_vulpes: drift slut gets all
the attention
these days
ben_vulpes: i have more permutations and combinations
to run
ben_vulpes: the req'd historical version does not even begin
to run on current os x
ben_vulpes: on one iteration it popped an x11 window and
then segfaulted!
a111: Logged on 2015-07-02 21:36 phf: mircea_popescu: i'll keep
that i mind. i'd like
to give it a
try, but i still have memories of
tedium and despair from last
time i
tried building a crystal space project on mac
mircea_popescu: "we represent
the whole world*!!!" * as understood by whatever 3rd echelon bureaucrat in
the us dept of our democracy
that "handles" "canada".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski lol what
the fuck. canadian bitcoin orange revolution!!
shinohai: Why yes, I *do* want
to follow you upstairs.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that at any point since henry was
the "legal system" so much of a joke.
