mircea_popescu: and
as to the problem of translation : source code and object code make together a thing. an item can not be said to be a program without either. their relationship is particular, you can go from one to the other, and ~to a very limited degree~ from the other to the one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
as per usual, it depends on what is is. so - yes, pissed. you piss idem, when you say things to the tendency of "work - for tractors ; not humans". your dislike of perl and his dislike of "observation" in the sense of "handiwork" are very close ; and closer to my eye than alternatives.
mircea_popescu: i hasn't the patience to go into detail
as to echonton eisin & friends. not aristotle's fault.
mircea_popescu: (and if you're wondering - the hallucinatory perception of the other known objectively
as "puppy love" is precisely an implementation of this principle.
as it exists in all cultures [that i'm familiar with] it seems likely to be the definitionally human trait. man is the beast who, when confronted with a shortfall, dreams up a compensation.)
mircea_popescu: which is why insanity is usually the escape valve for desires incomesurate with possibilities.
as alf says, nothing novel here.
mircea_popescu: but in any case - alienation and self-realization stand in an inexact opposition - if for no other reason then because derealisation often appears
as a viable alternative self-realisation. "i am a pretty special snowball" is exactly the self-realised derealized individual, satisfied with his own self image in a wholly imagined world. while by definition maximally alienated ; he also is maximally self-realized.
mircea_popescu: yes, but "ask.fm has 150mn users" and shopify trades
as NYSE:SHOP for 40bux and then some guy wants to discuss things about you know, "MPEx has no volume you have been warned!!11"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no such thing
as "everyday work" anymore.
mircea_popescu: anyway, while the quoted article is remarkable in toto
as a fine sample of what wikipedia is, intellectually, the "break all the mirrors" fatlogic reaction is not limited to wikitards.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, things such
as "buy up all the grain and lock it in the basement", which are EXACT equivalents - antieconomic underutilization, are... also "firmly negative". well which the fuck is it!
mircea_popescu: which severance is reinterpreted internally
as "liberating" - the same kids who ENJOYED getting out of the house when they were 18 then cry when their parents die. but why ? weren't you so fucking happy to be rid of them ?
mircea_popescu: ah. it is a failure mode ; the feedback is perceived by the i-subject
as dolorous, and if there's too much of it the only way to rescue the ideology is to sever the feedback.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, anyone looking for a good source of the subversion of "stem" in the us may
as well go read feyerabend)
mircea_popescu: (and yes farming is entirely chumpatronics, of the worst ilk.
as dean martin once said, "my old man used to gamble that he'd get rain. i figure if a man's gonna gamble, might
as well eschew plowing."
pete_dushenski: no one wants to go back to the farm. tis very true and the primary reason why my father's family busted their nuts to get top marks in county so
as to get the fuck off the land and move to the city.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: stealership wants 800 for part, 6.1hrs labour at $155/hr. also recall these are pitiful canuckbucks, not megaU$$$D here, so chop a full quarter when converting your bezzle outrage. but yes, civic tranny is cheap, toyolexus parts very spendy. anyways, my mechanic is doing it for closer to $1300. still a slap but not quite
as dear.
mircea_popescu: but it is CERTAINLY unfair that he's fucking dumbs
as rocks and i am not.
mircea_popescu: it's maybe unfair that whoever is running that "shop" doesn't have
as much money
as i do. it is maybe unfair that whoever is running that "shop" didn't go to
as good a school, or have
as good parents, or
as alf points out, didn't have
as well housed a library at home. fine.
Framedragger: "such
as “migrants are dirty” is allowed, whereas “migrants are dirt” isn’t."
Framedragger: "A sentence reportedly containing an expletive directly followed by a reference to a religious affiliation (for example: “f*cking Muslims”) is not allowed. However, the same does not go for the term “migrants,”
as migrants are allegedly only a “quasi protected category.” Additionally, Facebook reportedly allows for posts that could be deemed hateful against migrants under certain circumstances. For example, a statement
Framedragger: "that receive extra protection (for example, under “age,” criteria such
as “youth” and “senior citizen” receive priority)."
pete_dushenski: on a plane there's (ideally) no wifi, no one talking to you, just the pen and the page. i miss traveling
as much
as i did the last decade
as much
as anything for the rarefied air free from distraction.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: retrofit for manual crank would be free in your world ? or also hire mulch man to wrench this into existence
as well
mircea_popescu: hey, there is such a thing
as old money, even in the usa.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 04:33 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cedar ftw. << belongs outside or
as an unfinished accent. Bookshelves need to hole WEIGHT!
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, they have this crazy shit here - picconia excelsa. the wood hardens SO MUCH
as it dries you can't fucking work it
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cedar ftw. << belongs outside or
as an unfinished accent. Bookshelves need to hole WEIGHT!
☟︎ pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: we grow pine, fir, cedar, and spruce, most of which come from bc. ontario and quebec grow some hardwoods like oak and maple but these aren't
as practical or affordable for general construction so they're exported in smaller volumes relatively speaking. so depends what you want your shelves made out of. pine can work but obv the hardwoods are sturdier if also commensurately spendier.
pete_dushenski: so eulora is basically the same
as the entire canadian prairies.
trinque: almost plays
as a "lets sneak a peak at slavery, but safely"
phf: i always thought of him
as a pretty boy who can hold a certain pose. that's why i think purple noon is great, where he fits perfectly because he looks young, fresh, aloof and arrogant. but his other stuff is forgettable. i think he had some tv show where he played a middle aged detective, where he was great again, by virtue of being the right age
mircea_popescu: phf possibly not. but yes, not ~entirely~ bad, and
as an actor certainly better than whatever dorks available today, so he'd still win a "what do we watch" competition. the period though... ah, ah.
mircea_popescu: (
as a public service : /alɛ̃dəlɔ̃ nʲˈe pʲjˈɵt ɐdʲɪkɐlˈon/ /alɛ̃dəlɔ̃ pʲjˈɵt dvɐjnˈoj bɜrbon/ /alɛ̃dəlɔ̃ ɡəvɐrʲˈit pəfrɐnt͡sˈuskʲɪ/ )
phf: well french cinema not being entirely corrupted by imperialism was popular in su, so alen delon got the same treatment
as other "anekdot" characters.
mircea_popescu: no, it wasn't,
as i don't actually propose any changes to processblock. it can go wholesale in b.blockchain
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've ruminated on this
as well before
mircea_popescu: if queried, b.peer loads mempool-txn
as it is and uses that ; so what if it's stale, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: whole story is, "fatso is angry at not being
as relevant
as he thinks he should be"
mircea_popescu: to think the dork actually claimed he is "slightly more productive on linux than windows". satoshi never fucking
as much
as saw a posix compliant box.
ben_vulpes: but i mean blackholing
as artifact of some other poorly written client, instead of script opening sockets to trb nodes
mircea_popescu: but in general there is no such thing
as an unwanted pregnancy. for the attack to exist, the client has to be "retarded".
mircea_popescu: there isn't any space, or any need, or anything else for these fucktards today anymore than there was in 1996 or in 1976. they know it today like they knew it then, and they're lying about it (to themselves, mostly) then
as now because they know that's exactly all they can do. who's gonna hire pmarca ? to do what ? who has a job for zuck ?
pete_dushenski: if you mean the latest mpex debate
as referenced in 'what lasts forever', ya the leclerc (pankkake?) feller and i had a little back-n-forth
mircea_popescu: it ~never had a corpse to eat, it sucked its own dick for
as long
as that lasted.
mircea_popescu: that said, /me wishes teh very best to the actual ugandan children. oppressed
as they find themselves under hermetically sealing, thick and numerous layers of dedicatedly-imbecile adults, it'd be a wonder if anything comes of them. but - all the better for all those who do make it in such conditions.
mircea_popescu: this exactly mirrors me using planeshift code for eulora, did token gesture towards planeshift people, they be EXACTLY
as idiotic
as blender people in exactly the same way, so
as a result /me is having the code refactored and will not work with them
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : me uses blender for eulora, originally wanted to work with the blender people, and
as a "first gesture" sorta thing tried to make a donation. blender people turned out even more batshit insane than anyone could have imagined, which resulted in smg deciding to fork blender and not support their idiotic foundation
mircea_popescu: i suppose it isn't to be a surprise that in a world where the doctor expects you to pay him for him to do what ~he~ feels ; and the lawyer is strictly shocked that his position
as counsel is STRICTLY to do all the legwork you don't feel like doing and absolutely not to do any of the cool management stuff, cuz you're paying and you're gonna be eating that - the charity dudes similarly expect nsa oodlebunches of moneyz
mircea_popescu: it's funny how the actually useful stuff, such
as "put the fucking bitcoin address on google's homepage already, you dork!" somehow "accidentally" never fucking happens.
ben_vulpes: "we just can't handle the notion of a space where some people's suckitude is actually a barrier to their self-identification
as 'a part of a thing'"
mircea_popescu: well, it was more like "should be exposed to user, WHAT checkpoint to use". ie same
as here.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 that "separate config file" references what i recall
as a previous discussion. << aha, now i recall. I think the suggestion was that one could, from a config file, turn checkpoints on or off, or add new ones if they wished.
mircea_popescu: mod6 that "separate config file" references what i recall
as a previous discussion.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> the one caveat that i can think of is that it may very well turn out to be unusably slow (
as in, >10min block verify), on anything but reiser. (if there even.) << would be great to start experimenting with this in '17
mircea_popescu: especially if a) the piece is actually useful
as opposed to curio and b) it's being sold for scrap by the imperial idiots.
trinque:
as say pg has whatever it shits into /var/lib/postgresql/data
trinque: davout: idea is that these querying tools could
as well use reiserfs or another
as the "disk data format"
davout: i'm still not convinced that the relational approach is not the correct one,
as far
as an arbitrary inspectable DB is required
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 19:57 davout: asciilifeform: don't "sed, grep etc." qualify
as "binary dedicated toolset" ?
davout: asciilifeform: don't "sed, grep etc." qualify

☟︎ trinque: davout: ad hoc crapping together database features
as needed gets you the last round of idiot fad databases
a111: Logged on 2016-12-06 17:05 trinque:
as far
as the lying wire is concerned, that's solved by a different gadget
mircea_popescu: if you do this - you may not anymore deny the other implications of magical unicorn. such
as you know, someone eating jam and shitting whole plums.
mircea_popescu: deindustrialization dun enter into this ; de-"personalization"
as personhood is currently misrepresented in the west however - does.
mircea_popescu: we're discussing what software runs on black box. you propose "hey, it's trying to cut gangrene in such a way
as to do maximal damage to enemies". yes, this may be,
as a generous interpretation. the more common interpretation however is to say there's exactly no cutting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the less generous one is
as set out in "apple could buy russia"
mircea_popescu: and
as per
http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/ the absolutely imbecile generation STILL wants to pretend the conversation is about how racist it is to not allow faggots to "marry" ; rather than about how idiotic it is to pretend russia is an enemy and africa's an ally ; or that deindustrialization is a reasonable response to anything.
BingoBoingo: <a111> Logged on 2016-12-19 18:17 mats: have you ever considered part-time work
as a crackpot columnist, asciilifeform << Qntra is available
mircea_popescu: so actual man made global warming by jan 15th is a respectable 1% or somesuch
as it stands right now.
