walter_: what I'm
thinking is how
to efficiently replicate and update a copy of a website,
to protect from e.g. somebody
taking down
the site, and banning archive.is in my country
walter_: that would allow
to optimize syncing of local website copy with
the origin
walter_: I'm afraid I cannot patch a PHP website. I can only suggest
that it gains
the ability
to respond Last-Modified, perhaps at
the cost of removing
the dynamic section (should be fine as a separate page)
walter_: oh I get it now.
There's a "recent comments" section
that ruins
the idea
mircea_popescu: i dunno. in
truth
the maintenance of mp-wp is a bit in
the air right now ; but if you want
to make a patch by all means.
mircea_popescu: the problem would be
that because of how
the
theme works with
the recent comments
thing all articles "change" whenever a new comment is added/
walter_: I'd say
the proper way would be for articles
to "change" when new comments are added, so
the page would be re-downloaded
mircea_popescu: and if a girl is passed out, is it logical
to assume she's not into getting laid, or
that she's really wet for you, or also no way
to
tell ?
mircea_popescu: if a website doesn't provide "last modified", is it logical
to assume
that it never changes or
that it just changed ?
mircea_popescu: your
tool i mean. since it's redownloading when it shouldn't.
walter_: but
this is so common in
the internet
to ignore Last-Modified
that you could argue ;)
walter_: but it does, because
the header is missing
walter_: oh, no. I'm using wget
to save websites locally. It relies on Last-Modified
to know if it should re-download
the page.
mircea_popescu: yeah '; what i'm asking is, are you
trying
to get a signal when
there's new comments ? because otherwise
trilema articles do not change.
mircea_popescu: though
trilema articles don't actually change. do you mean
the root ? or
the comments ?
walter_: I'm archiving important stuff recently, and noticed
trilema.com responses do not contain Last-Modified header. Is it on purpose?
walter_: I'm
too stupid for
the puzzle. What's wrong with archive.org?
walter_: "the Lethe flowed around
the cave of Hypnos and
through
the Underworld, where all
those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness"
mircea_popescu: same place
the written record left by
the hittite empire went.
mircea_popescu: archive.org belongs
the same place wikipedia.org belongs.

ThinkPads?
walter_: Hi all.
Thanks for
the +v. Missed
this channel.
walter_: I quite didn't expect
that question
trinque: asciilifeform:
top sekret project?
mircea_popescu: the best advice for mactard is
to walk away from
the box ; for an hour, a day or ideally forever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr i have nfi what gimp
these people use, but it does not sound like anything i ever used.
mircea_popescu: if you're going
to do
this, better use led epoxy'd into laser cut (or sharp exacto knife cut) fibers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, no, i did
test it.
the converter is cheap, which means cheap. low q optics.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: !~later
tell gabriel_laddel_p review your record. what have you made
that i currently use ? useful means useful, and you're not it.
that you're not it in spite of allegedly being capable rather
than because incapable does not speak in your favour ; but on
the contrary.
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of gabriel_laddel_p from 1
to -1 <<
turns out
the appeal was mostly
to bang
the head.
mircea_popescu: !!rate gabriel_laddel_p -1
turns out
the appeal was mostly
to bang
the head.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated gabriel_laddel_p 1 at 2016/12/01 18:38:14 << Crazed Cali Kid, but at least banging his head against a goldmine rather
than a brick wall.
gabriel_laddel_p: shapefiles are heathen nonsense, but it
turns out
they can be easily converted
to json, which CL has plenty of parsers for.
gabriel_laddel_p: .svgs are essentially paths you can feed
to CLIM:DRAW-POLYGON*
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm updating an incomplete svg parser someone else wrote +
tying it
to open government datasets.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally i fully expect whoever does
the graphing work
to end up with
the core of what will be
tmsr sexpr svg in
the end.
gabriel_laddel_p: I was adding support for shapefiles and svgs earlier
today because
the "base layer" of masamune is complete, and I can now rely on it
to grow with me moving forwards.
jhvh1: shinohai:

tell BingoBoingo plox
to PM regarding possible submission when available
thx

the learning I've forsaken over
the past four years
to build Masamune. Yes,
the eventual goal is
to make a lispm, but it isn't as if I'm skipping meals
to do CPU design.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p you're going
the wrong direction. you don't need something MORE abstract
to dick around with.
mircea_popescu: dude, just because you're male doesn't imply you should
try and emulate ascaris lumbricoides.
mircea_popescu: lol fabulous, he's dropped
that
to find a deeper fold
to retreat into. who's gonna
tell him he's wasting his
time NAO BITCH!!!1

☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's an overproduction of written material
today ; writing something of
that nature is exactly akin
to braying in
the public market. it helps no one and degrades a scarce resource.
mircea_popescu: not anymore.
that worked
then because relatively rare written production.
gabriel_laddel_p: ftr, I was asking if
there are comparable effects at EM frequencies other
than visible light. I presently have no use for said
technology,
though it would be fun
to replicate.
gabriel_laddel_p: I wonder how hard it would be
to "brain parasite" a community college..
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I was not. And presently have no ideas as
to how
this would be done in jungle conditions.
