mircea_popescu: moreover, v is about people and
therefore it must work on
the closest-to-people juncture.
mircea_popescu: "my mom as i knew her died
the moment she hooked up with her old associates and went back
to stripping."
mircea_popescu: (argentina being one of
the few places where used machinery is valued above same machinery new, perhaps on a derivation of
the medieval "woman with children worth more, proven functional cuntperl implementation", it might even have made business sense
to sell it.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose people who aren't me complained ? honestly i was half expecting
they're actuallyoffering
to buy mine.
mircea_popescu: ostensibly
they'll park
theirs right next
to mine, we can get a diesel generator burning
tailgate party going
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, local power co notifies me
that "in order
to continue providing high level of services" etc
they'll be installing a gasoline backup generator, which will result in
two "very short" power interruptions.
trinque: same
thing happens in well formatted C, if you say add an "if" where one was not
trinque: their return will now be run
through some other form, or now not, or whatever
trinque: really, it's
true
that all
those lines whose whitespace changed *did change*
phf: for all other cases it'll ignore
the lines
that have whitespace changes, but if you make a change
that has whitespace change on one line, and
then substantial change on another line,
that relies on new whitespace,
then yeah you get borked formatting
phf: well, it's fundamentally different
things, but for your purposes it'll be different when
there's information in whitespace. like say it's a form
that has
text in it, and you modify
text inside
that form, ec.
trinque: sounds like it'd produce a patched item
that is formatted incorrectly, which would suck
ben_vulpes: is
there a difference between ignoring whitespace and only examining
the forms
that changed?
phf: ben_vulpes: yeah, lisp image. fwiw if you're
trying
to ignore whitespace (since you're going
to lose
that information in a sexp, unless you preserve
that information, in which case you will have
to patch it same way),
then diff already does it: it's called ignore whitespace (-b or -w or -B depending on usecase)
trinque kids, various other reader macros also violate
the homoiconicity
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 14:50 phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-07#1578953 << just fyi, while you can diff an intermediate ~state~ of an image as a sexp, common lisp's input is a ~character stream~. builtin dispatch ~mostly~ operates on forms (like #p #. (concatenate 'string "foo" "bar")), but not always, like #\; comment reads
till end of line.
ben_vulpes: by
that
time i
think
the coolies will be responsible for
their own hardware, not me.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 14:31 asciilifeform: if
the next lappy comes with spiked anal cone, what, ben_vulpes won't buy?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 12:33 mircea_popescu: well,
technically he asked alf, so
there is
that. none of our bidnis :D
ben_vulpes: "you know, if you can squeeze a
tenth of a percent of a performance increase out of
their chips over
the course of your career
there, you'll be sitting pretty with
that dumptruck of printolade showing up at your house every
two weeks!"
phf: probably because
the first one can be imagined and verbalized, where's
the second one once understood for what it is already happened. doesn't allow for much action, with shooting and adventures and stuff
mircea_popescu: funny (to me) how often "destruction fo known x" is an ontological rather
than gnoseological matter.
phf: well, it being a scifi series achilles's immortality is one of
the ways in which "quantum probability" something something "destruction of known universe"
mircea_popescu: did it have
to be paris specifically for some reason ?
phf: i recently finished reading olympus/ilium scifi series by dan simmons, where one of
the lines is Achilles becoming immortal (in
the unable
to die sense) because Paris is killed before he can deliver
the arrow
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: lol. ANyways crawlspace is a way
to put house on foundation. Crawlspace on slope is way
to develop lot
that will require debris removal during resale.
BingoBoingo: That poor house is set
to become something other
than level in a period of
time
that depends on local rainfall.
BingoBoingo: Not pliers, piers!
The stacks of brick holding up
the steel beams set on concrete piles from which surrounding dirt has been washing away.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways interesting detail was
the giant hole in
the foreground right next
to
the piers
BingoBoingo: AHA, no not mine. Found on a "How not
to do it"
thread.
mircea_popescu: "whadda ya mean walk
this dog means, 20+ miles! nobody can walk 20 miles!"
trinque knows a person who owns a weimaraner,
thing paces in her back yard back and forth between back door and window so much
there's no grass in
the path, has various other compulsions
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, much
to my vague meh, nobody seems
to have caught on and started a study in
terms of "modern domestic
terrorists, medieval flagellants"
mircea_popescu: because as it is commonly
the case,
the only people who should still be here are
the ones who died already.
mircea_popescu: "you'll die" "so will you" "yes but i'll die happy" "so will i". go ahead and settle
the dispute, good heavens.
mircea_popescu: lf I've put weight on and it was
the worst
thing
that I have done and all for making other people happy!! If people are happy
to starve
themselves or make
themselves sick
then leave
them be we dont need petty sly comments of people who have no idea what
they are
talking about."
mircea_popescu: "People who have never had an eating disorder won't understand and yet
they still feel
the need
to comment on people
telling
them
they are wrong well no, we arent. I had an eating disorder and it was
the most happiest I had ever been,
the
thought of not eating and not even being bothered was good, I was in control of something and
things were how I wanted
them
to be, I was happy and now I'm over
that I'm not happy I hate myse
mircea_popescu: whereas my intelligence is defined very much in low bio
terms, as an antonym
to sluggishness. entirely
to how you score "lively" colts and puppies.
mircea_popescu: in your own
terms :
the problem is hidden under
the definition of "intelligence" ; now intelligent has been re-defined
to mean "whatever it meant before + good response
to
the scale method"
mircea_popescu: well if it worked
then you could install a laughmeter on
their ipad and any complaint of unhappiness would similarly be referred
to
the graph.
phf: (i had a good result with a scale before. "here's a scale, write your weight daily in
this calendar, in fucking killos, what
the fuck"
then every single complaint is brought back
to
the data, if actually intelligent start noticing disparity. "i'm FAAAT but
the weight went down by a killo in
the past
two months, wtf" etc)
mircea_popescu: the exact nature of c) is often obscure ; but
there are no exceptions.
mircea_popescu: you can have youths with
two of
three : a) "civilised world" native ; b) intelligent and c) not self-harming.
mircea_popescu: the sad
truth of
the matter is
the mp
trilemma. which reads like so :
phf: right,
the healers in
the comments are basically happy inmates,
telling her
that everything's going
to be ok as long as she sticks
to prescribed pill regiment
mircea_popescu: it's just
therapy is almost never successful because it is almost never willing
to address
the actual core of
the problem - which is society, specifically,
the impossibility of intelligent youth controlling
things.
mircea_popescu: which is kind-of
the point of
this entire anorexia/bulimia
thing :
the subjective misperception.
phf: well, right, even if
the practices are solid
the "and see" part is not going
to work, because seeing is broken
mircea_popescu: but
that said -
the article is plainly indicative of psychopatology of
the systematizing persuasion ; whether it's actually clinically relevant or subclinical will have
to be decided by
the clinician attending
the case.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, when
the fuck is it "try AND SEE what happens" a criteria ? no,
the excuses are always
there, "marks are so unfair" blabla.
mircea_popescu: phf yes but i ignore
those.
the "be naked eating and watch yourself"
thing is
the clincher
to my eyes, because WHEN
the fuck does empire advise nudity ? never, not in "feel your boobs" public literature even
phf: huuh
two
thirds of
these ana recommendations are basic food hygiene, and how i've been eating for most of my life.
the rest is a bit over
the
top, but doesn't look particularly bad
mircea_popescu doesn't want
to hear about how irrelevant island
thinks itself special, "we don't use measurements here"
mircea_popescu: the chinese don't have
the soviet problem with sharia law from what i've seen.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski maybe
they were confused as
to how "kid lick
ton"
translates into chinese ?
mircea_popescu: the amusing part being
that given indirection layer, cubical sphere is entirely possible.
