mircea_popescu: or you could add pedals
to your desk and produce your own electricity.
ben_vulpes: no need
to impose all of
the load on others
ben_vulpes: nah, but carrying 27+lbs of kid plus groceries while i stare at
the sky and contemplate nozzles
that impart rotational inertia
to
the flugenbody is not
time efficient; i can just as easily design while hefting bairns
ben_vulpes: yeah let me just *oof* move
this *hrunph*
truck over *hurk* here baby
ben_vulpes: i only recently realized
that i needed
to be doing
the heavy lifting on family outings
mircea_popescu: drives

they work out
till
they drop, i never do,
then i can you know, lift one in one arm and for some incomprehensible reason i got biceps
the
thickenss of
their

☟︎ ben_vulpes: you're absurdly
tall and made out like a bandit in post-ussr ro

the box i have here
ben_vulpes: entirely unrelatedly, ms beat
the street
ben_vulpes: i would say "fight me irl" but you're
the one #t denizen i don't
think i'd have reasonable odds against
ben_vulpes: isn't
that what you call
that
thing in basketball where one dood drives in and puts
the ball up for someone else
to net?
mircea_popescu: get up an' down an' layup all' around, move your ass
to
the left move your ass
to
the right...
ben_vulpes: "ben_vulpes in for
the layup, mircea_popescu with
the duuuuuunk!"
ben_vulpes: the only
thing
that even halfway works is cunt.
mircea_popescu: if computers-were-magic(tm)
then
the
thing would produce a virtual infinite space and
the viewport would be dragged around across it, so you could follow diagonally
ben_vulpes: i am offended at
the inadequacy of everything in
this world
mircea_popescu: so if "nested = 12 pixels"
then you get a limit of 100 or so.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it can't not exist because monitor is finite and it stupidly decided
to nest by magic number allignment.
ben_vulpes: threaded replies is new
to php devs? have never been on mailing lists?
mircea_popescu: yeah, and derpy "liberal" chicks who don't know how
to dress or be useful in
the house are in danger of becoming sought after.
mircea_popescu: he didn't want
to say naggum-c because i said it already.
ben_vulpes: what means fortranism in
this context?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is
the problem. if it's gonna happen at all,
then why not have it happen right off.
mircea_popescu: "if i allocate what i
think it should be
the program crashes"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes. you are asking yourself
to come up with a number which will be larger
than
the largest number of nested comments people may wish
to make. if you're going
to
think like
this might as well become a c++ specialist.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503181 but granted, don't have a working "moderated but without captcha" comments solution. best i can
think of is, write very light backend service
to handle comment post requests, store
them somewhere sensible, allow operator
to accept/deny comments (could be flat
text files)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-27 20:12 ben_vulpes: except of course
threaded comments, and
this and
that and
the other
thing.
ben_vulpes: no such nasa makes sugar rockets
that launch sideways
mircea_popescu: yea einstein, you got yourself a nobel prize in global warming in
the making
there.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking annoying,
too, "dude, whenever you increase your dataset your correlation goes down" "so should pick better data, right ?"
mircea_popescu: if i wanted
to arab i'd be in cairo,
they have fine mosqs.
mircea_popescu: yes well. by
the
time "scientist" is unable
to ~comprehend~ what
the fuck
the numbers say about his data, i don't care what fucking calisthenics he does.
mircea_popescu: no ~serious familiarity~. just
the average came-with-apartment bipedal cat's "hey, open fridge door,
take out food it's how food works"
mircea_popescu: no fucking concept of analysis, i'm not discussing hyperpeels or any nuttery, just merely
the concept of hey, if it's a function i can derive it, find
the inflections, DRAW IT. yes with
the fucking draughtsman kit.
mircea_popescu: and most research anything have
the numeracy of a stripper.
mircea_popescu: send
them all back
to fucking school, 90% of
their
time ends up spent doing insane chewing gum and spittle equivalent of unix pipes.
mircea_popescu: their fucking problems are "how
to put
this into excel"
mircea_popescu: most chemists active in research
today would greatly benefit from having half of brain cut out replaced with programmer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rd is definitionally not heart of usg.
try "health and human services expert analyst"
mircea_popescu: the funny
thing being
that nonsense converges. "civil" and "common" law systems end up giving almost identical "solutions"
to
the same problems notwithstanding
they start from opposite priors. similarily, life of usg mandarin is very much like life of say japanese company man.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am i shit you not considering moving
the brood back into
the family domicile in 2019
ben_vulpes: although i suppose enough do it
that none of
them risk ostracization for it now
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you also don't have
the sort of job
they do. what's office drone in heart of usg do, something
TO STAND OUT ? holy shit.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: perhaps under explained in "if you accept
the
thesis" where <thesis> is entire stack of usgola. yes, 401kholder seeks
to eat cheese,
turn around put money into house do all
the clever
tricks with it. also many don't! and many like myself look at
the whole
thing as a stupid intellectual complexity
trap not worth entertaining.
mircea_popescu: did i recount
the famous episode of my mother fishing btw ?
mircea_popescu: (you're invited
to go fishing, discover fish will eat your bait and not bite)
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm not proposing your life choices are invalid. i am saying
the form of
the argument is broken. it's easy
to pretend like you know better
than fish while not being fish. in point of fact fish does as best he can
ben_vulpes: or good old fashioned frontier bride, why all
the haet
mircea_popescu: use
the dust for lube, write your life's novel / memoirs / whatever.
mircea_popescu: buy : 1 month rent in slum ; 1
typewriter ; 1 stack of paper ; 1 sugar bowl, fill with pure cocaine ; 1 medium dildo.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i dun see
the hook, have staff on call 24/7. no harem, granted, but "ride or die bitch" worth a million hausfraus.

this,
the
third consecutive day of asking, would you kindly acknowledge receipt?
ben_vulpes: if you accept
the
thesis, it ain't a hook it's a free meal.
ben_vulpes: you f'r instance can't seem
to get colander right
