mircea_popescu: anyway, this is pretty good progress and intel seems to indicate you're actually ahead of the curve, so, dun stress.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to not name something america because obama.
mircea_popescu: what idiots did can not now, nor ever be a consideration.
mircea_popescu: this is the sequence, logically. buncha derps made some rejected "versions", who cares what they numbered them as ?
mircea_popescu: unless, of course, they're from ms. then they need 8. or unl;ess they're running boost and qt.
mircea_popescu: tho kinda long imo. nobody should need 4 digits of versioning
mircea_popescu: funny that derps using numbers like retarded children use playdo should at any point expect to be engaged by sane people as if serious.
mircea_popescu: since we're making up numbers, i would say he needs to have at least 8megapercent support, or else his support won't scale.
mircea_popescu: down from the 100% he thought he had back in janaury ?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 ironically enough, im sure teaching will be fine. schools tho... hard to say.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it would by the very fact of connecting. shows you its ip
mircea_popescu: (seeing how a transaction lives as such a finite interval before being included in a block, the % of txn that live as "known to one" vs the total "known to all" is of particular interest)
mircea_popescu: (for the amaterus : txn propagation has a lot in common with epidemiology, a topic recently trouched upon here. in any case : the spots where a transaction goes from "unknown" to "broadcast through one node" to "broadcast to the whole net" are interesting in the general case. and the first move thereof a very good measure of "quality", basically speaking the inverse of an infection's pathogenicity)
mircea_popescu: the number of txn broadcast through one node used to be pretty much zero. i would guess by now it's over 10%. which is fucking insane.
mircea_popescu: i swear the quality of tx relaying is shittening every day.
mircea_popescu: hopefully someone named schultz joins. i think you haveto have one.
mircea_popescu: btw, check out how nicely the cult's gangster outlook is rounding out! we now have a guy nicknamed babyface even.
mircea_popescu: total mismatch between meaning and expression, babyface.
mircea_popescu: were you basically meaning to say "my idea of ideal marriage is where im just rich enough to not give a fuck" but misstated it as "woman should not work out of the house" and ended up irritating random people ?
mircea_popescu: fucktarded progressive sectarian nuts. "i have no religion except this wonky religion that i claim not to be one"
mircea_popescu: "Because I am not religious, I have no mystical conception of an afterlife. To me, a person lives on not in Heaven or Hell but instead in the minds and hearts of those they touched while alive"
mircea_popescu: if it's worth paying for is work, and if it's not then it doesn't answer to this line.
mircea_popescu: don't the online whores these days call it exactly that ?
mircea_popescu: never mind what's obvious, nobody asked your impression of collected social pressure. question's what you would rather.
mircea_popescu: are you looking for a woman to worship you, that you really don't give a shit about ; or for a woman to worship yourself, that doesn't really give a shit about you.
mircea_popescu: strangely enough, two very different problems manifesting in the same can.
mircea_popescu: either because he wants to buy a whore rather than rent ; or because he wants a mistress but is affraid of her bulls.
mircea_popescu: great training tool tho. what's clueless girly to do ?
mircea_popescu: as in, castigat ridendo mores. to, literally, beat into shape.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne what you'll be more interested will be to hear that a) romanian uses a unified concept for gain, which covers "gain from playing the one man bandit", "gain for gainful employment", "gain from having said a funny joke", "gaining time" etc, but the actual word, cistiga, is a direct usage of the latin castigat.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field one day ima have an original thought. i swear.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field this goes right into our discussion about how the only reason lisp is ok where c is shot is that the hordes haven't sat on lisp but on c, would have been the other way around if they had sat the other way.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the notion that one can run out of it by running out of c is ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: "one can only imagine what having to lie to your compiler _every_ day and to make unwarranted guesses that your colleagues will depend on the same way they depend on your hard-earned knowledge _does_ to a human brain -- I know I couldn't handle even the prospect of it." << ya ya. welcome to real life (tm). this is what it is. exactly. there shall never be an escape from it, it is the indelible mark of superiority,
mircea_popescu: williamdunne point being, if the bitch ain't working for you, she's the pimp and you're the ho.
mircea_popescu: which makes it very much an idealism masquerading as an objectivism which then drives a particular sort of people up the wall.
mircea_popescu: "objective", except the objectivity is pure nominalism.
mircea_popescu: "why should i know who some guy's name is to be able to tell a joke ?" "you only need to know the name if you plan to reuse it"
mircea_popescu: the former is often trampled on by scoping questions by the [lamer] members of the audience. the second uses misdirection (the name's a throwaway) to perhaps enhance the results.,
mircea_popescu: now, you've probably heard enough jokes in your time to know there are two basic styles. one style is "some guy walks into a bar" and the other style is "this bloke joe walks into the bar".
mircea_popescu: ascii_field even cpp. let's model this on the act of telling a joke.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne why would you prefer a wife that didn't work, and if you do, how do you know you're not actually looking for a mistress ?
mircea_popescu: but for what it's worth, i don't believe C actually does this. i believe it is merely perceived to do so.
mircea_popescu: either "how do you know that", "how was i supposed to know that" or the more broad "this shit is just fucking stupid already"
mircea_popescu: you know there's actually a strong possibility this assertion is correct. from my experience discussing programming with girls that don't program, it often comes to some derivative of exactly this.
mircea_popescu: "C++ is philosophically and cognitively unsound as it forces a violation of all known epistemological processes on the programmer. as a language, it requires you to specify in great detail what you do not know in order to obtain the experience necessary to learn it. "
mircea_popescu: julius an' vincent have a number of intelligent, culturally relevant discussions. whych is why qt is such an intellectual titan.
mircea_popescu: ah which reminds me. ascii_field you ever seen pulp fiction ?
mircea_popescu: or was it for trying to get out ? i always get my empires mixed up.
mircea_popescu: but, unlike other places that are not user friendly, like the us or the uk, at least it doesn't employ armed men to shoot you for trying to get in.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.isaackl.-1:72d3d56f7ac65a6e331b6b725cce0e408b21cf3a566d2340ca65326776f66734
