BingoBoingo: I'm probably roundup resistant by now...
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves assuming it loads. i'm two seconds in here.
ThickAsThieves: i dont think there's a right or wrong, all the variation in question is needed
ThickAsThieves: ''I saved for 45 years … It was my carer's pension and his disability pension,'' said the Sydney retiree.
mircea_popescu: i know that. how do you say it matters ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo perhaps on the grounds of my ignorance, i see little value in the bacteriostatic / bactericide distinction
bitcoinpete: i remember reading about russian/soviet research into them
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform phages are why i did an undergrad in immunology and infection
mircea_popescu: i guess their victory was of such resounding nature in that battle that now hsbc is doing it
mircea_popescu: i recall a few years ago designers getting all butthurt against design contests

asciilifeform: punkman: i like clicking << http://www.letsgolearn.com/bubble.html
BingoBoingo: There's more painful exercises in attempting to learn a programming language. In 6th grade I tried to learn Perl with pencils and paper...
punkman: but I like clicking!
punkman: mircea_popescu: I don't hate it per se, but I'd rather avoid that learning curve for now
mircea_popescu: Those issues may be avoidable, but only at the cost of additional atomic instructions on both the read and write ends, which would significantly impair the performance." << this guy is a prime example of what i said of finance types being tech clueless.
punkman: asciilifeform: just a regular machine, what kind of machine should I have?
asciilifeform: punkman: and i'm afraid that i cannot in good conscience recommend ide that isn't emacs. because only emacs runs 'SLIME.'
mircea_popescu: "Speaking as an insider, I can tell you that most HFT firms playing around with FPGAs are doing so because of slick-talking FPGA marketing hucksters. The more that perverse incentives change, the more they stay the same" << flanagan has a point.

asciilifeform: i cannot claim to have invented it (herr muller, 1956?) but might be the only one left taking it seriously.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is known as asynchronous logic. see 'muller's gate.' i vaguely recall that we spoke of it on at least one occasion.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I played with Singularity a bit when it was fresh. The "respectability farm" is the impression I got.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I remember that last time you dropped that link and the doubters in the thread, but now... If even Microsoft can pull off FPGA acceleration...
BingoBoingo: punkman: As I play with it I'll prolly think of things

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i love chicken liver.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: no, we're intelligent housewives, not dumb american housewives. << I had a disappointing lapse into Americanisms today. I timed my return drive poorly and passed the restaurants before they opened. Ended up getting fried chicken livers at the supermarket and eating them as I drove the rest of the way back.
mircea_popescu: no, it was some derp that purported he's commenting on what i did and said and i pointed out to him that before attempting that he needs to pass a ged.

mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go meet my lawyers nao. later girlfriends! we can do our toenails when i return!
punkman: I wonder if jap beef is worthy of the hype
mircea_popescu: "I aged a 107, a 109A, and a 109 Export in a mini-fridge (this one from Avanti) set at 40°F in which I placed a small desk fan in order to allow air to circulate (I had to cut a small notch in the sealing strip around the door to allow the fan's cord to pass through), simulating a dry-aging room on a small scale. "
