mircea_popescu: this is unresolvable, except if one actually and deliberately enacts the positive feedback loop of "torture those in pain, beat those with welts on their body" etc.
mircea_popescu: a) idiot interacts with system ; b) idiot forms malformed internal representation of system ; c) sane person has no incentive to fix b) ; d) system evolves ~always~ to match its representations.
mircea_popescu: but THIS is what the utility of that ancient "horror' and "unexplainable ancient cruelty" was : it kept this very significant problem of badly alligned incentives in check.
mircea_popescu: the incentives are badly alligned, and the habit of beating children (a subcase of, oppressing the oppressed FOR THE REASON that they're already oppressed) went out
mircea_popescu: this spellchecker underlines it. nevertheless... différance
mircea_popescu: trilema is filled with examples : i spell this the french way this time for stylistic reasons. what now ?
mircea_popescu: and if I write the dict, there isn't a way to write a program that can import it at all.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a way to write a program that can import a dict and fix my grammar.
mircea_popescu: in scbl, and c would be what c was in the 70s. ie, coupla hundred k's.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115422 << this, i will point out, is in no way related to any inherent property of either (unless you mean lisp is inherently going to fail), but simply a function of context. had the linux kernel been implemented in sclb, and had the past 20 years been spent with scbl being "the cool language", you'd be having zhe pronouns and assorted idiocy to the tune of > 10 mn lines
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose we should go beat her up, stupid fucking whore.
mircea_popescu: we're like brothers off the same mother over here. and check out how variant the fathers!
mircea_popescu: (and yes editors, which trilema doth employ, send the corrections with "did you mean to X" half the fucking time)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it has nothing to check against, i gotta do it by hand.
mircea_popescu: and consequently the notion of "spellchecker" is undefined for me.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "Why isn't there grammer/spellchecking for my comments? " << this i can readily answer. because I am what's called "a creator of language", which is to say one of those people who, through his usage, ENACTS the rules all amateur users of language MUST follow, as a mark of their linguistic inferiority. like fucking shakespeare.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what bothers me is that i see no way to either dismiss it, or pick it.
mircea_popescu: what happens if assbot dies ? we must lose scoopbot titling too ?
mircea_popescu: i would definitely read the essay discussing the merits of either side. i just realised i actually don't grok this shit.
mircea_popescu steps away slowly and in terror, letting the parties involved decide.
mircea_popescu: last time anyone "in computing" had an idea the year prefix was still 1.
mircea_popescu: none of this "i'll fix the details later, i'm in the middle of doing sexy work now". fuck you and fuck your "ideas".
mircea_popescu: i want it to complain to the dev about every.single.problem. EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM. and it must be as a fucking clickbox, in his face.
mircea_popescu: i don't need to fucking remember to ask it. i can walk away from the terminal if i need some space.
mircea_popescu: Adlai yeah, for that matter emacs does something very close to this, bar one fatal fucking flaw : pull. it should really be push.
mircea_popescu: the computer's job is to be a most humbly abject slave, perpetually and consumatedly on its knees following you around, with the dedication and unwavering insistence no dog can summon.
mircea_popescu: the computer's job is NOT to be the fucking master, and make its own decisions a la windows. the computer's job is NOT to be a solipsistic retarded geek and just do its own thing like anal children do.
mircea_popescu: ort what I can figure out about the context ? b) iterate you through all locations ? c) change it back ? d) run a trace see what happens ?"
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "why are the holes not marked or filled?" << ftr this is not what i was contemplating. what I was contemplating is, why the fuck don't defaults pop up. bring back the fucking paperclip, put it the ONE place where it makes fucking sense. "hey john, I see you changed FuckOff() from bool to int. This function is called 82 places in 22 files. Would you like me to a) check all places where it's called and rep
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kakobrekla might be an idea if assbot ignores scoopbot_revived
mircea_popescu: "can i please have the bullet then ?" "uhhh... but we don't make those anymore ? too expensive."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not saboteurs, it's kids looking for a special identity.
mircea_popescu: mmm... no, colonized. invaded by the tumbler, twitter etc hordes.
mircea_popescu: (mostly through historical accident : gypsy women used as whores throughout middle ages, ended up with kids without actual parentage, got "soft" father's name as it were)
mircea_popescu: "omaigawd i have to finish this by tomorrow because i had three weeks to do it but i was busy until tonight!!111"
mircea_popescu: Adlai btw, is ariel sharon totally a girl's name only to my ear ? or is it kinda lulzy in teh medinat too ?
mircea_popescu: welcome to beartraps & caltrops day on bitcoin-assets. i'll be your lovely host, with the mostly incontinent Sharon Cohen serving as my co-something or the other.
mircea_popescu: davout is all "wtf this doesn't exist. oh THAT. myeah ok, it exists."
mircea_popescu: but it's brief and blessfully resolves in the hospital.
mircea_popescu: actually... some hobby of WIVES doth render them anally incontinent
mircea_popescu: eh that's a myth. anal sex helps continence, doth not reduce it.
mircea_popescu: the excruciation however, yes. i think you even saw one of the crosses.
mircea_popescu: no, not software. if i wake up to find that slavegirl shat the bed, i'm not going "shit must die"
mircea_popescu: grep is ~overall~ faster for this optimization, or in other words : the downtrodden are downtrodden for a reason. step on their faces!
mircea_popescu: and here comes the doozy : the correct way ~for everyone~!
mircea_popescu: fact remains that raping the poor raw so that the rich can have it slightly better is not only the traditional way to do things back when things were still being done, but actually ~the correct way~.
mircea_popescu: and the case of optimized grep is the first and the last word on the matter of "you can not have democratic computing anymore than democratic anything else in this world. it's either good or democratic, pick one."
mircea_popescu: how did "worst case" interest group get to lose 70% so that "best case" interest group can gain 6% ? clearly this was enforced by an opressive, chauvinistic patriarchy which, to bother an irigarayism, "favours the speed of light over other speeds that are much more important to us".
mircea_popescu: anyway, not that any of the retards involved in such considerations have the skill or werewithal to get it, but : this is a fine example of privilege in computing.
mircea_popescu: friend, and the last thing I see before I black out is a patch of yellow cheese powder inside her long tangled beard."
mircea_popescu: "Put another way, grep sells out its worst case (lots of partial matches) to make the best case (few partial matches) go faster. How treacherous! As this realization dawns on me, the room seemed to grow dim and slip sideways. I look up at the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and I hear his cackle "old age and treachery...", and in his flickering CRT there is a face reflected, but it's my ex girl
