BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> asciilifeform: if only I had amphetamines I'd have a place
to sleep... << You know...
There's GIRLS at NA meetings

tbh I would have
thought phf would have seen
the masamune video & flown out here
to get his free install
the next day, but apparently
the rest of you are less excited about
this
than I am
gabriel_laddel_p: the general lesson of
that
trip: "I'm not learning anything by hacking CL anymore,
time
to do something new"
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: people openly sell LSD all
the
time out here. I was given a vial of liquid for free a few months ago

trinque: phf: log might be busted atm, or my network's wonky (just pulled everything out of boxes and reassembled, so it's possible it's me)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd still piuss all opver it. by
that point, what do you have
to lose.
mircea_popescu: most of
tumblr is inept sjw-ing and poor-people-preoccupations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and funny
that nobody disputes all
that nonsense, either.
gabriel_laddel_p: fking annoying b/c it is EVERYWHERE around here, but I simply don't know anyone. Eg
there was a 200lb meth bust miles from where I am staying.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: if only I had amphetamines I'd have a place
to sleep...
trinque: I sit here in a
town full of oil business
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: perhaps read
the email when I bother
to write you back
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: I proposed something
to you, did I not?
gabriel_laddel_p: tbh I would have
thought phf would have seen
the masamune video & flown out here
to get his free install
the next day, but apparently

☟︎ gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I have not forgotten about #masamune either, but life moves slower
than I want it
to/thought it would.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I wrote most of
the code, got a machine
to host it, and.... a bunch of nonsense has prevented me from getting
to sf and setting it up.
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: what happened
to
that www archiver you
talked about for a minute?
gabriel_laddel_p: I know nothing about hardware. All I've got is a list of log lines where you
talk about hardware
that sucks less, and each and every
time I record it.
gabriel_laddel_p: Anyways,
that's
the sort of stuff I'm on
the lookout for when I say "incrementally swap out
the underlying hardware".
gabriel_laddel_p: Am going
to
the FIG meetup group again
to see if I can get a few for free...
trinque: asciilifeform:
technically he didn't. went up
the sidewalk
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm
thinking of
the document ben_vulpes dropped in
the logs, which iirc runs on
the greenarrays chip.
trinque: the guy pulled into
the place right behind a cop, who couldn't be bothered with it
trinque: mircea_popescu: downtown's great, welcomed me back last night with watching somebody drive wrong way up a one way road on
the sidewalk
to get
to
the burger joint I was at
gabriel_laddel_p: There was a software defined fourth NIC dropped in
the logs
that is pretty well documented.
gabriel_laddel_p: The most programmable possible. Idc if
this means somebody reverse engineered
the drivers, or it is documented, or it is simple enough
that someone could revese engineer it, or or or
gabriel_laddel_p: Reviewing all
the log references in
the "TODO: new, better hardware" node of
the manual and compiling a list of hardware
that is less braindamaged. Purchasing, assembling &
them selling
them as
the 2nd generation of Masamune.
BingoBoingo: And
there's a good chance some asshole nearby is running a salt plant and fucking with
the water
table
BingoBoingo: The problem with swamp foundations is
that by
the
time you've poured enough hydraulic cement
to make footings,
the cement gets heavy.
gabriel_laddel_p: Now
that
the "UX" is in some sense complete, I'm studying so
the hardware can be swapped out from under it, exactly in
the manner described by mircea_popescu earlier
today.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: Exactly. Which is what is needed. For
the record, "paving over
the swamp" is coming along great, and
that metaphore is wholly inadaquate for what I'm doing.

totally unrelated, i just learned
that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d.
ben_vulpes: yeah i mean it makes as much sense as any of
the other magic green lock stuff
doppler: oh yeah, another
thing about seq: it's not actually part of posix, and neither is BSD's jot(1)
doppler: we were
testing out
the rating system
doppler: but CC knows about
this place
ben_vulpes: or whatever, no need
to cramp your style
ben_vulpes: doppler: welcome
to
the wot, who is companioncube?
doppler: I use seq all
the
time when I write posix sh scripts (brace expansion is specific
to certain shells)
Framedragger: doppler: ah right, seq is actually a binary, fancy
that (so works outside bash - hence why various .sh scripts use seq instead of bash's {} i guess,
to be more compatible? just a guess)
phf: i wonder how i've managed
to never notice it. i use seq all over my scripts, and i have an own copy of seq
too. i wonder how many
times i was missing my seq just
to fallback
to stock :o
doppler: but it does have brace expansion which largely serves
the same basic purpose
doppler: well
to be precise bash doesn't actually have a seq builtin
phf: i have a
tool in my scripts folder, seq (e.g. seq 0 100)
that does
the same
thing, and
that i end up rewriting every once in a while
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
They probably hide
them at
the Canada desk
phf: actually
there's more in
the relevant section, but
these
two use cases i've often missed, and have no idea how i didn't know about
them
till now
phf: in
