ben_vulpes: good idea
though! i've dropped many a dose of 'acid' into 'friends' eyeballs.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nah,
traditional oral application
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel:
there's a metabolite
that comes out when digestion booze and coke
together
mircea_popescu: because i can't conceive why'd you want
to do
that
to your cornea.
jurov: ben_vulpes: already
tried eyedropping
tobacco extract? not very psychoactive but very purifying instead
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you ever examined
the nasal septum of long
term coke whore ?
ben_vulpes: one of
the few psyochoactive experiments left on my list is
the eyedropper bottle of cocaine/alcohol solution

a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 17:27 asciilifeform: fact
that if
the base library dependency isn’t
there,
the component can’t link
to it. He looked at me and said, “There are no facts,
there are only opinions, and all opinions are equal.” ...'
phf: i'd like
to mention
that sherlock holmes used cocaine ~only~ in between cases
trinque: still didn't feel superhuman on either; more like excited dog
that has
to sniff everything in a loop
☟︎ trinque: smokes for bit, stops cold one day. same experience with
the powdery one.
trinque has advocated various dopes in
the past solely because
they were fun, like camping is fun, but I don't write code camping either. I camp.
☟︎ trinque: who is
this person
that felt like
they could figure
things out on cocaine?
then later saw
that
they in fact, had.
phf: haha, most definitely. cocaine is all
the upper echelons (the drug of choice on capitol hill), alcohol is for
the grunts. aspiring managers notably prefer vodka redbulls are a nodick compromise
phf: the first part of writing happens in a mapper mode, i.e. daydreaming for lack of better word before any kind of code is actually written, second in packer i.e. actual
typing.
that's also when cocaine/caffeine/aderal might help
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:42 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i must disagree, i was quite close
to, e.g., 'v', for very long
time before finally wrote it.
phf: i always
thought
that kind of classification is "people like me and people not like me", but i like your
take
too.
phf: also made me rather mistrustful of a lot of "hacker culture" elements, like
too much coffee, night hacking, after hour sprints, weekend hacking, all
things
that i've confirmed from experience
to contributing
to atrocious code
☟︎ phf: but anyway,
the reason why i mentioned it, and
the one
thing of value
that i derived from progstone is
the idea of stess addiction. i'm not sure about
the mechanism
that he proposes, but identifying and neutralizing sources of needless stress served me well for many years since i read it
phf: i just linked it
to you ffs
phf: earlier in
thread
that is
phf: those quotes are from blog, not
the original site
phf: i would've prefered criticism
that involved quotes (since
there are plenty of
things
to make fun of), rather
than a somehwat off mark general
trash
talking
phf: well, yeah, it's cybermysticism :) follows a long
tradition
that well predates eric raymond
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 01:24 mircea_popescu: I blame Eric Raymond and
to a lesser extent Dave Winer for bringing
this kind of schlock writing onto
the Internet. Raymond is
the original perpetrator of
the "what is a hacker?" essay, in which you quickly begin
to understand
that a hacker is someone who resembles Eric Raymond. Dave Winer has recently and mercifully moved his essays off
to audio, but you can still hear him snorfling cashew nuts and
talking at length about wh
phf: asciilifeform: it ~is~
the infamous mappers and packers
thing, m&p is first chapter
☟︎ ben_vulpes: and a pike of entropy sitting in
the corner
phf: when i said "programmers stone" i meant papers published by blog's author in 97 or so, which are very vague and speculative but had some interesting ideas about programming. most references
to subj in oldfag circles result in "oh yeaaah i member" reaction.
the blog has not much
to do with original
jurov: sorry, pls what was
that "25
times more productive" link? somwhow can't find it in
the log
jurov: i guess
they specialize
to very different niches of govt ecosystem
than alf
☟︎ phf: (i finished
the docs)
a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 14:36 mircea_popescu: speaking of above article, can i get a commitment
to never signing any V material which includes any non-ascii characters ? BingoBoingo diana_coman hanbot

phf: asciilifeform: is usb convertable
to rs-232 with a ~limited~ application of soldering iron?
phf: asciilifeform:
that's a good question, i haven't isolated
the bug, but i'm pretty sure on openbsd crashes instantaneously. note
that c++
threads are involved, so perhaps
they
try
to initialize
things even before you start using
them?

transmitting, and
this is own can of lolworms)
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 15:51 asciilifeform: unrelated lel, how many folx see 'PLEASE read
the instructions !' and
then drop something other
than pgpgram in
the funnel
