mircea_popescu: i propose to you that a team of two people selected from five that are only informed in general computer sanity can produce in the same time better software than the sum of all five, each schooled in one specialisation : sysadmin, webdev, db management, ux and marketing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to formalize a positive form for this, not merely the negative :
mircea_popescu: is he more convergent than you, also ? can you apply CBS to your own monotony "to some degree" ?
mircea_popescu: in any case the actual pashtuns might be nonplussed by the proposition.
mircea_popescu: doubt the comparison "more pashtun than x" can be declared in scopes where nobody's killed anyone for honor.,
mircea_popescu: adults do this sometimes with children, pretend-give them things to motivate them "for their own good".
mircea_popescu: not more necessary than the goods it actually provides are.
mircea_popescu: specialisation is, much akin to geting used to narrow spaces, a necessary evil.
mircea_popescu: specialisation is not the unilaterally superlative good it is presented as.
mircea_popescu: but a) it all lasted as long as the sputnik and b) i forget what i wanted to be b.
mircea_popescu: and yes by 1955ish they were almost on par with the post-war us, on accounts of not being saddled with the baby bloomers.

mircea_popescu: the targed is something like what was done for eulora.
mircea_popescu: i will provide no less than three, on physically separate machines, provided this can actually be made to work. which depends on excellent documentation.

mircea_popescu: can you discern from whence you sit if the following is a possible explanation : you got now and again (rarely) a peer, which gave you its lists of peers, which is how you actually synced.
mircea_popescu: which then flooded the clients in question so they stopped working
mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc the problem was something about how /who flooded the client. so they made a limit so it only shows 100 entries
mircea_popescu: did you actually do a full sync that was throughout dependent on irc as sole primary peer source ?
mircea_popescu: can you say, count all the peers you ever got off irc ?
mircea_popescu: but i am very much perturbed by your proposition that it worked until recently. to what degree worked ?
mircea_popescu: (peer over irc acquisition never worked worth a shit - the reason it was moved off freenode for instance is that it needed a special ircd to have even a vague chance)
mircea_popescu: 2) optionally, irc box << i don't see that we need it. irc is dead, it was stupid to begin with, time to put it to sleep.
mircea_popescu: mostly on account of their "pros" consisting of NOT being sexually enthusiastic, and imagining that they can substitute self importance for it.
mircea_popescu: and i believe she;s making better money off sexual enthusiasm than off whatever pink collar career. but NOT because 10 trillion clicks.

mircea_popescu: what more's needed ? broken in the fucking head, these people.

mircea_popescu: otherwise, they WILL scam you more than you scam them, and you end up with a hole in your gut. one should not visit the anthill unless one's either an anteater or equipped as one.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you have no business sitting at the poker table unless you intend to bluff, and you have no business living in norway unless you have a clear scam to apply to the government in mind.

"that is, that once one agrees with the braindamaged pretense that 'end to violence', he is forced to hypocritically reintroduce violence in a very complex form, which reduces to the bezzle, or in carlin's words, 'everyone's quest to stick it to the other guy faster and deeper'. and so he accepts your 50x inflated carrots because he wants to sell you 67x in
