mircea_popescu: and i know no reason vtron must have "max line length picked in advance" either.
mircea_popescu: i feel about "this string has spurious /n inserted in random places" about the same way you feel about FG getting random control bits pissed into the stream by "helpful" wrappers.
asciilifeform: ( i actually use these. but they're turned on their side, so i can put moar-proggy into'em, rather than longer-line )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as wide as i fucking feel like.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 22:38 mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with their minister of technology, industry, or whatever the fuck, explain to the secretarial overseer you end up seeing that the republic is in principle willing to do some tech transfer help them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set the bozo bit on the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending to be a country ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file then. though he prolly wants the ~config~ file to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because there's no such thing as a terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my text in a way that's aware of his dumb terminal. and he thinks this acceptable, somehow, that at the time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'm a little surprised the vtron even swallowed it.
asciilifeform: i hate to bring back ancient thread re 'how many columns in terminal', but you ~must~ have a finite width, or cannot write even basic thing like vtron without idjit heapism. and i'm heavily biased to 'make'em 80' , that's how wide my terminal and printers are.
diana_coman: Mocky, hm, I thought it was "trust Allah but tie camel", apparently they lost the 2nd part?
ben_vulpes: will be making new contacts in the next month to find a shared cab for racking the foundation machine i lugged across the continent
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I know but I still don't fully buy it, it seems
diana_coman: Mocky, "on while goose chases" - wild, I suppose
diana_coman: onth I suppose that the 80cols rule either is or isn't, so it should apply even to strings that make no sense split, a bit of cutting to fit the bed style
diana_coman: the fact that I have to manually and arbitrarily split strings that in fact are of any use only un-splitted
Mocky: i guess so
mircea_popescu: naramnzi water and shisha, laze about post brunch... very levantine i guess.
mircea_popescu: "they sit around during the late morning and early afternoons having coffee and sweets." << you know i do this shit too ? must be the middle easterner in us.
mircea_popescu: and hjow do i link to the comment specifically ?
mircea_popescu: actually i bet you the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1868721 fellow would love nothing more than to do a template design for hire. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:11 Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi to python for comments
Mocky: hey! i didn't want to wasted time implementing a big comment thing when i get 1 comment per month
Mocky: I don't have moderate per se. I have a manual process where by if i type in "pull-comments.sh" i see if there are new comments to manually copy paste into the document
mircea_popescu: (do you have a knob so i don't have to be moderated every single time ? cuz that's a major chill factor)
mircea_popescu: Mocky did i do teh commenting acceptably nao ?
Mocky: mircea_popescu, I've spent the day going over and cleaning up my outstanding notes to date. I have 6 blog posts that will be dropping the last of which is my evaluation of where I'm currently at with this thing.
mircea_popescu: truth be told it'd work equally well either way, but i dunno, they really really wanna be bidding fror some reason.
jurov: I don't get why I should run the auction and not mod6 but let's try
mod6: jurov: lobbes has it, I think an auction is the way to go here.
hanbot: t and a by now insanely oversaturated market, i can't imagine anything less than hundreds of hours/week is going to save it. i don't have the hours to make it my sole concern, but i do have some to help out. i think it'd be a shame to kinda decoupage some tasks here and there to a floundering ship. as much as i'd like to see it sail, seems obvious to me that here and there won't cut it at all.
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867497 << not even so much interest, i was more or less drafted. i'm happy to do whatever i can, but i see multiple issues here; i don't in any case want to take your seat, and honestly i don't think "outreach" is a splinter of the foundation's operation, fit for a single person. afaik it's the core of what the thing was supposed to do, and the core of its failure to date, and given a potentially unbounded budge ☝︎
bvt: hello. i wrote a summary for linux system call investigation http://bvt-trace.net/2018/11/linux-portability-part-3-summary/ ☟︎
jurov: mod6: everyone: I am offering 6050 USD/BTC exchange rate for the 2k USD wire. Will wait till Thursday November 8, maybe you can make better offer.
mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with their minister of technology, industry, or whatever the fuck, explain to the secretarial overseer you end up seeing that the republic is in principle willing to do some tech transfer help them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set the bozo bit on the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending to be a country ? ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i wonder what galazies have to allign for the next mp to come along, "suyre, here's a twenny"
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine they get that much custom.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well if teh link dun work i dunno it can be helped.
asciilifeform: i'ma log out, this one will have to go to sumbody else, mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: ugh it just flipped into some scene where i'm a fairy riding a sow with bow tie and i have nfi what to do with this
mircea_popescu: admire the beauty of web design, i guess.
asciilifeform: i.e. 'hunchback will straighten in his grave' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll do it, gpggram coords
asciilifeform: i'd buy a 8192b-reg mips right nao.
mircea_popescu: i'd so love to see my "byte is 4096bit" asics...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma give one once finished reloading thing into head
mircea_popescu: now shut the fuck up before i crack you one an' ruin your illusions of participation, inclusion and sufficiency for you.
mircea_popescu: the way to pretend to be part of the republic without being part of the republic is AT A DISTANCE. like all those schmucks "working on their phd" telling chicks "o yea, i totally know mp, we netflix and chill all the time" at "tech conferences". not by fucking dribbling here.
mircea_popescu: shinohai your only available position here is "here is what i now understand to have been doing wrong, and shan't be fucking doing again, as exemplified by this excessively costly self sacrifice". not fucking "hey guise, buddy-buddy, are you gonna change to fit me in THIS time or do i come back whenever later try again". ☟︎
shinohai: I have my muttrc modded beyond all comprehension, but love the fact it can handle even google surveillance mail. ( at one time even got bitmessage to hook up to it)
mod6: shinohai: nice! it's rare that i even hear of anyone else using Mutt. When I used to email in earnest, it's all i used.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 02:39 mod6: <+asciilifeform> 'pine', 'elm' << i liked mutt with vi/gnupg integration
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869063 << I still use this lol. ( also gm mod6 ) ☝︎
mod6: <+asciilifeform> 'pine', 'elm' << i liked mutt with vi/gnupg integration ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( doubled as a heater, at one time i lived in a flat where they didn't stoke the boiler till december )
asciilifeform: i threw out a crt coupla yrs ago, with 'pine' burn-in
asciilifeform: possibly others existed, but i only ever used 'pine'
trinque: I have as well. I will never touch a fucking smtp server as long as I live.
asciilifeform: trinque: i spent moar time trying to make it go than i'd care to admit
trinque: it is, and I think it's a fool that tries to chase them into the "one moar magical DNS value" or misc other will make it work.
asciilifeform: trinque: i ran own postfix etc for yrs, and the box still alive, but i've found that actual ~delivery~ of mail ~from~ it into heathendom, is a crap shoot naodays
trinque: beelzebub can own as many stupid things that shouldn't exist as he likes, from where I sit. google wants smtp mail, oh please, have a second helping.
trinque: but I come to realize, running one's own postfix or whatever, also inanity.
trinque: BingoBoingo: pop3 not dead; I use it. just buried in inanity.
asciilifeform: theoretically i'd rather have 1 pedal instead of 2, but emacs aint stable/uncrashable enuff for me to comfortably move in
asciilifeform: ( or '02 or i dun even recall when )
asciilifeform: trinque: i would easily be, but i like 'ratpoison'
trinque: asciilifeform: anyhow yeah, I'm one of the sickos that uses the thing as wm even.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 23:04 trinque: asciilifeform: I shamelessly use emacs as interface to just about every heathen thing (gmail included) I have to touch
BingoBoingo: trinque: I suspect they may have killed imap/pop3 login to fetch mail
trinque: mu4e is probably the best email interface I've used, can shred an inbox of 100s in a few minutes
trinque: asciilifeform: I shamelessly use emacs as interface to just about every heathen thing (gmail included) I have to touch ☟︎
mod6: I'd say just let his 9.5k ride, we'll get it eventually. meanwhile, I think we need another 2k. maybe jurov wants to put up an auction?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they say it may take as much as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ? << I'll think about it a bit more. I'll double check the math, but if the transfer is 5 weeks out that still leaves us a margin of safety from the month of guarentee put up when service started.
mircea_popescu: but asciilifeform "couldn't", then. and i guess we're going to terribly regret not sending in fucking helicopters to extract him from the concentration camp he ended up into through stubbornly refusing to fucking leave on his own two feet for a decade.
asciilifeform: ( i fughet how often they can break and get 'at no cost!111' new )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: indeed. the other day was entry of i-nintendo into 'pro' market, as i understand. new turn of frog boiler knob.
mircea_popescu: where's buffett's code of cunduct is what i wanna know.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, dude "didn't understand technology", bought wrigley. is the idea apple phone spits out wrigley spearmint flavour ?
asciilifeform: '"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year," he said in August. "I focus on the ... hundreds, hundreds, hundreds millions of people who practically live their lives by it [iPhone]." He also called the iPhone "enormously underpriced," saying that it's worth far more than the $1,000 Apple charges for its latest models.'
asciilifeform: erry so often, i see spamola that cannot be explained any other way (e.g. for some vacuum-moulding shop in milwaukee etc )
asciilifeform: ( maths d00d, of a sort. why spams? i do not know )
mircea_popescu: srsly tho, i'd like to see the euro side.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, will be familiar to 1980s1990s east euro folk ; and yes i expect that experience's exactly the guide, ie, will get more frequent, ampler and longer lasted as time goes by.
asciilifeform: june i think
asciilifeform: max i've observed so far is 4day
asciilifeform: of the '5 weeks' , i mean
asciilifeform: (1st time i hear of such a thing)
mircea_popescu: i don't expect this is optional, ~everyone~ has the exact same problem.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1868864 -> heh, I can quite easily picture it, yes; fwiw though I think there IS some clear improvement in her summaries ☝︎
asciilifeform: seems like 'price for rube', but then again i am not subjexpert
Mocky: well i don't know but they don't tell me to fuck off, no matter how much i ask them but never agree to pay
mircea_popescu: i dunno about "have"
Mocky: what would be considered a normal rate for an hour with a whore? i don't know anything about how things are elsewhere
Mocky: no idea, but given the excess mass, i don't think any cock is on the table
BingoBoingo: I suspect combination of advanced age dementia leading to a misperception of local cock availability
mircea_popescu: aww, i was hoping for something juicy.
Mocky: she's not speaking to me anymore. i've got a few days to get one of these other chicks to do it tho
Mocky: i trolled him, he seemed pissed :)
Mocky: he still has the same number of trades (12) as when i first spied him in sept.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 18:52 Mocky: i get the impression from other talks (not today) that there is no end of "i have great biz idea for importing from my home country india" being pitched
mircea_popescu: i'd expect the "sell btc" guy in the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864522 vein, not really worth it. ☝︎
