asciilifeform: the anti-moldbug pieces (yes there's more than one) typically accuse mold & co. of the ultimate anti-democratic crime: republikflucht.

asciilifeform: bitcoinpete: read that turd; kept waiting for the seemingly-obligatory mention of 'galt's gulch' - disappointed! not there!

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: mostly, of a subset of the basic ideas therein.

asciilifeform: aye

asciilifeform: i did read all of mr. mold, yes.

asciilifeform: bitcoinpete: i wouldn't go so far.

asciilifeform: 'not caught, not thief'

asciilifeform: why did the idiot (if real rather than hypothetical) tell the wife (?) about his coin ?

asciilifeform: (☭)

asciilifeform still thinks the name stands for 'red edit'

asciilifeform: back in.. '07 ?

asciilifeform: reddit used to be sorta-ok

asciilifeform: unfortunately not.

asciilifeform used to read reddit. http://www.reddit.com/user/asciilifeform - but maxed out dosimeter.

asciilifeform: had to click

asciilifeform: a full minute and still couldn't crack the enigma, where the classical world is hiding in 2014

asciilifeform: #100 - 'In 2014, The Classical World Still Can't Stop Fat-Shaming Women'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your pet creatures read this heathen pit ?

asciilifeform: #23: 'I've got fungi everywhere and I cannot take it anymore (ranting)'

asciilifeform: how you even found this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wtf

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform opens window, smells felinine. wonders how one street can support 200 housecats.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that very same.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aye. 'atlantis.' http://www.talking-time.net/showthread.php?t=9407&page=3

asciilifeform: can't resist asking, mircea_popescu's ship has net access ?

asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/2014/05/wang-indictment.pdf

asciilifeform: pankkake: that forum still exists? and, what does one have to smoke, to make sense of it ?

asciilifeform: where do they even get them.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the bob beck thing is epic

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: this is a fairly well-known fact (i thought)

asciilifeform: so, can live, with steady supply of inmates

asciilifeform: with external prodding.

asciilifeform: viable in the butugychag sense. you can live there for a bit...

asciilifeform: http://danweinreb.org/blog/rebuttal-to-stallmans-story-about-the-formation-of-symbolics-and-lmi

asciilifeform: mostly in head of rms

asciilifeform: titanically great product (to the point that, imho, it has never been equalled) but they rode a very particular wave of bezzola, ended up going down with it.

asciilifeform: (aka 'chinual')

asciilifeform: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/scaled/landing/875/ayjgar.jpg

asciilifeform dusts off his copy of the Chinanual

asciilifeform: re: weibreb's style...

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: bob the goatfucker ?

asciilifeform: wtf is a bob beck

asciilifeform: ted nelson (for all his faults) predicted this very same thing, in the 1960s

asciilifeform: the problem is made somewhat more dire by the fact that the folks traditionally interested in the subject ('library sciences' types) - as i understand - didn't make the jump to electronics really

asciilifeform: (no real organization, but encyclopaedic completeness at least)

asciilifeform: naggum's material comes to mind as one example

asciilifeform: i used to be a quasi-serious student of the subject of 'why smbx dead' - until i realized that i'm getting nowhere, everyone i want to talk to is buried.

asciilifeform: http://danweinreb.org/blog/why-did-symbolics-fail

asciilifeform: and here's weinreb (recently deceased. one of the founders) on death of same.

asciilifeform: there's a paper floating about for many years, arguing that SMBX died of gross mismanagement

asciilifeform: (reagan's 'star wars' and the associated pig trough)

asciilifeform: then the only folks who could afford them - went broke.

asciilifeform: they made 'ferraris', so to speak

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is actually an interesting historical topic. these people never wanted to 'catch on' in the modern sense

asciilifeform: (for those innocent: http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/22982/Symbolics-3620 )

asciilifeform: unambiguous 'harley'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'd really love my Symbolics 3620 then.

asciilifeform: (i'm with '2')

asciilifeform: re: fans/spindles: i know folks of two opposing schools of thought re: comp noise. variant 1 - powerful machine, must sing, like 'harley davidson'; variant 2 - want quiet, like german bmw, not air-cooled 'trabant'

asciilifeform: lol yes. i did much the same thing, in a vastly different context (scintillation counter, bio. assay)

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: how'd you end up sleeping on (in? with?) it ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol! who even knows how many soviet pdp.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: live with the large ventilated felix << http://www.nzeldes.com/HOC/IronFelix.htm ???!

asciilifeform: why not simply connect the extant ones? basic problem is that ssd units from same batch tend to die in unison, when used in just about any variant of raid (why - exercise for reader)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: ssd - if there were a hardware raid that worked well with ssd of some description (or, for that matter, vice-versa) i would buy it. on account of hating spindle noise.

asciilifeform: what did they have to smoke for this to make sense?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wtf, how do you 'patch secret bug' in open source product ?!

asciilifeform: moiety: see mp's essay about semispace garbagecollection. more or less - that.

asciilifeform: fluffypony: finally finished moving.

asciilifeform is still behind on log

asciilifeform: moiety: ??

asciilifeform: or any other proper (i.e. having declensions) natural lang

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoBYEt3IgAAXKje.jpg << afaik you can make a table quite like this one in Ro ?

asciilifeform: not quite what i had in mind

asciilifeform: ;;ud guirk

asciilifeform: one who guirks pens?

asciilifeform: 'ceoz can also have problems'

asciilifeform: i don't give a damn if 'market has decided' that shit is edible. for so long as it remains physically possible to obtain food, i shall eat it - rather than shit

asciilifeform: won't touch mb with no ecc.

asciilifeform: won't touch intel.

asciilifeform: *it

asciilifeform: i'm sorta stuck with this board. and when i physically gives up the ghost, it is likely that i will obtain an identical one.

asciilifeform: or rather, 'amd socket f'

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: possibly. but, not with circa 2007 components.

asciilifeform: (found a couple with ecc but no explansion slots. does no good here.)

asciilifeform: ~1yr ago i thought about it, and couldn't even locate a vendor that supported mb with ECC.

asciilifeform: and i'm not sure i'll ever actually replace this machine. it will have to catch fire and burn to the ground.
