trinque: no such thing
as a "rust machine" or "golang machine" but lets not dwell on the fact that there's a machine down there too long.
trinque: asciilifeform:
as I understand it, which is at a distance, they added an extra type system, concurrency tools, and memory management for phree, and decided this needed its own syntax
pete_dushenski: no doubt about that. frozen prairies are same in this regard
as dc swamplandia.

as understood by whatever 3rd echelon bureaucrat in the us dept of our democracy that "handles" "canada".

as someone once said, "their tricks work for them only a short distance of their run, and for us the whole run."
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 23:13 asciilifeform: ( speaking even strictly of technologies, not even touching on subjs such
as children free to walk around on their own, to make explosives, etc )
phf: coke machine story should be set in the same universe/time
as the pgp key story
a111: Logged on 2016-01-26 17:20 ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat,
as a refrigerator, etc)
ben_vulpes: "When Taaki reached the camp on the Syrian side of the border, he says, he tried to explain to the elderly officer in charge that he’d come to Rojava to offer his tech skills in one of Rojava’s cities, not to fight. But
as Taaki tells it, the man waved away his protests and conscripted him into a unit with the other foreigners."
CompanionCube hasn't used tincd
as a VPN-to-the-internet, only
as a virtual LAN equivalent.
CompanionCube: nope, but from their perspective it may
as well be. Not that I'd agree though.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes notrly. i mean i dunno, to my eyes the whole "dog
as pet" thing is kinda inept. get a hunting dog, go hunting with it, suddenly it's a lot more respectable an animal.
mircea_popescu: guy is
as terse
as if he'd be writing with ass clicker when doing actual work
phf: oh yeah i have those two, i bought one in india last time, and it's
as close
as you can get to "rock with hole, another rock for mashing"
mircea_popescu: if usg asks for an apple and you bid a dollar and then they decide to define "apple"
as a sack of potatoes, you owe two dollars in merchandise.
phf: i don't think fare was ever sane, but he at some point existed in similar space to asciilifeform, so people would mix the two together. i don't think anything he ever wrote was
as lucid
as "seven laws of sane computing", but a lot of highly abstract verbiage on imaginary systems designs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform essentially, "no one will" holds for
as long
as there's an imaginary fixed point to hang it of -- actual management in this case. what happens once obama is in charge of hiring ? why, one CAN!! sudden;y get job by pretending to know, and ONLY by pretending. no nsa for oyu!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform technically speaking this is universally guaranteed.
as per the ancient "idiot -- can not have idea ; mp saying x and idiot saying x are not the same", the mere fact of your using it enacts it
as a ~substantially~ different item than what they use.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, ~everything has been sitting there since ages until someone comes and does something useful (for him) with it and THEN, (
as in: too late) everybody starts doing something with it hence popular etc
mircea_popescu: there's no utility involved. suburban ustard wears item because of ~how it makes her feel~ to ~be seen~
as ~being one of the~ rather than any use.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 13:41 asciilifeform: but yes, you will do 2-3x the work, subjectively,
as when writing c proggy. but it is not ~wasted~ work, just
as the work of using v instead of 'git' etc. is not wasted.
mircea_popescu: actually i can tell ye this : in the above context, "not legal" also includes situations where it's technically legal but more expensive to comply than worth bothering (worth
as defined by mass scale producers)
mircea_popescu: this,
as you might imagine, was a major problem in ww1, which is why it's even called "trench foot". it was then discovered the best solution to the problem is pairing all the soldiers and having each responsible for the feet of the other
mircea_popescu: in other random lulz : there are many diseases of the foot, all of them rather similar : capilaries die, then the skin gets colonized by fungus and bacteria, then the nerves die and then gangrene sets in. frostbite is not necessary ; nor is diabethes -- something
as simple
as keeping the feet in warm mud for half a day, or wet for a few days in the same socks will do it.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 22:32 asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won't help" and you must work with her to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen TV so

ben_vulpes: welp emacs ~works on the ppc, insofar
as emacs can be said to work
phf: no, because gb is roughly
as relevant
as albania
CompanionCube: it was one of the things that tipped me over the fence from 'just reading' to 'might
as well join now'
trinque: mircea_popescu: long
as they keep the californians they imported, I'm fine with it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 buy the nice bohemian glass. (shards sold to idiots
as "swarowski crystals" hurr). those also never scratch.
shinohai: I thought I recalled an article somewhere where these parents successfully sued a school for forcing their son to clap erasers
as punishment because he developed breathing issues ....
mircea_popescu: ie, slides
AS YOU DESCRIBE THEM (here's a shot of a whiteboard from another room, comment) work ; but the idiocy normally deployed by the empire tards does not.
mircea_popescu: certainly
as far
as my own experience goes, just about all i know i learned while neglecting homework.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with a little bit of aesthetics. but you certainly noticed the very strongly monotonous abstractization function of actual knowledge. what starts life
as banal observatrion of natural numbers ends up linked to ever more complex manifestations in who knows what algebra / space / etc.
mircea_popescu: there may be fundamental problems with the very concept. (for instance : give an example of self-organizing heat exchange defect. "oh, life itself" what else ? "the tornado that happens in the drain". mmkay. the problem with not being able to give examples of a theory besides the item that prompted the theory is generally known
as begging the question.
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck will happen. nothing happens. dudes who don't have the balls to talk to women dressed sure
as fuck won't talk to them naked.
mircea_popescu: and i can't tell you how fucking great it is to not find oneself in a country
as despicably idiotic, either. people shouldn't live with people they hate.
mircea_popescu: also any kind of anything would stick out
as a fucking sore thumb out here. unless of course evil imperial agents learn how to drive donkey uphill just like the locals.
mircea_popescu: after all, the hos buy lipstick and it sure
as fuck don't promise that to them does it.
mircea_popescu: "For two days, according to insiders, Holmes, who is now 32, had refused to address these concerns. Instead, she remained largely holed up in a conference room, surrounded by her inner circle. Half-empty food containers and cups of stale coffee and green juice were strewn on the table
as she strategized with a phalanx of trusted advisers, including Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, then Theranos’s president and C.O.O.; Heather Ki

as CEO. Also uninvited.'
mod6: TomServo:
as a side note, I've been watching MST for the first time. show is hilarious. i had no idea bout your nick. :]
TomServo: mod6: Gotcha. I'll try and perserve this
as is and follow up later. Thanks.
trinque: these fuckers are going out tweeting their molotovs
as a matter of social signaling
trinque:
as far
as state religions go, what a snore.
Framedragger: to reframe into a pragmatic context, my log doesn't and won't for the time being (busy af) have search.
as regards its formal status, i don't know man, but i'll just keep maintaining it :)
Framedragger: (scriba should have an option to force rearchiving i suppose. it does tell me if it fails to submit to archive (if archive.is does not return 'ok'), but in this case
as far
as archive.is is concerned, it's been properly archived; the fact that the contens say 'wotpaste: nothing found' is not its problem.)
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, aha. it just you know, in the first 1k hours of auditing this it stuck up
as the first point of failure. 2013 news.
mp_en_viaje: this suspicion has been well borne historically
as well.
