mircea_popescu: this imbecility is widely accepted by now. however -
there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PRIVATE ABOUT
TECHNOLOGY.
mircea_popescu: nse and it’s hard for
them
to learn in
this state which is why a private consultation is more effective."
mircea_popescu: offering
them benefit of
the doubt. Often
they aren’t being malicious
they just don’t understand why something should be done a certain way. Why not
teach
them? Put yourself in
their shoes and ask, “What do I know
that
this person doesn’t know, which would cause me
to act like
them in
this situation if I didn’t know it.”
That’s
the very definition of empathy. Public shaming elicits people’s fight/flight respo
mircea_popescu: "Here’s what I learned from my mentors: If someone makes a mistake, or does something you don’t
think is right, you
talk
to
them about it privately and give
them
the opportunity
to correct it.
This not only gets
the mistake corrected, but it offers a learning moment
to
the person, increases
their understanding, and keeps
them “on board” with
the overall project. As a leader you’re being empathetic
to
that person and
mircea_popescu: do you know why ? because of
the dumbass in
the intro of
that very link!
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that
the screen
to insulate operator from "iron-that-might-emit-literally-anything-in-response-to-literally-anything" was ever baked. in nuclear physics or
theoretical math.
mircea_popescu: well so far
this matches screen, you can ctrl-alt-k iirc
to pill it.
mircea_popescu: so you want a
tmux
that has all
the ease of handling of screen / a screen
that has all
the scripting inclination of
tmux + an ascii filter.
mircea_popescu: either you want
to manually, hence screen ; or you do not, hence
tmux.
adlai: what disqualifies
tmux?
mircea_popescu: can be killed via kill for
the pid. or otherwise, reattach and close.
mircea_popescu: in other news, it's kinda funny
to read imdb reviews of bad 2016 movies.
mircea_popescu: PeterL ./file opens a shell, runs
the file, reports results ; . file runs file in current shell, reports results one up.
shinohai: Per asciilifeform 's instruction
to roll yer own, I am doing surgery
to put it all in one script
PeterL: and how is
that different from ./ ?
PeterL: hrm, now I
tried it again and it worked normally
PeterL: yeah,
they all did
the same
a111: Logged on 2016-09-30 19:05 PeterL: so I was playing with
the lamport-parachute scripts, and if I run any of
them without any arguments it should just print "usage: ...", right? Instead it is closing
the
terminal window I ran it in?
mircea_popescu: actually it seems
to convert <font color=lightgray> into <span style="color: #000000;"> ; as none of
the font
tags are actually ever closed, it results in span overflow and death.
PeterL: It is
trying
to guess what you mean instead of letting you
tell it what you want?
mircea_popescu: now why
the fuck does
the wp output <p> <br /> is anyone's guess.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ironically, i
think
the <p> <br /> style construction overwhelms some sort of secret buffer in "process html soup" render engine, resulting in
the spwer seen in firefox/archive.is
PeterL: is
this going
to be a html is shit rant?
mircea_popescu: so far also getting multiple DIFFERENT page renders on
the same god damned basic html in various browswers
mircea_popescu: no, apparently a href reference in footnote kills
the footnote
title somehow
PeterL: dos it have
to do with
the way
the color did not end properly at
the bottom of
the quote from
the cat-v chan?
mircea_popescu: well now, found a
totally epic bug in fucking footnotes
PeterL: scoopbot is getting a message of "blocked by cloudflare" when
trying
to submit links
to archive.is, I am
taking him offline until I figure out what is going on
phf: dirtied up by
the khan
phf: nah, russians bronze when exposed
to a lot of sun
phf: could
there be anything more russian
shinohai: switch back
to 5 and had 0 issues
shinohai: Nah last night when I started build it repeatedly failed, so when I compared `env` I noticed
that it was using gcc6 on new Jessie
mircea_popescu: i
thought
that's what made
the sad
thing you used before
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the definitions involved are at variance.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : gcc 5 produces eulora binary
that works normally ; gcc 6 produces eulora binary
that inexplicably works at 0.5
to 1.5 fps.
shinohai: Kinda just blew his chances at
that anytime soon.
mircea_popescu: that's
the one fucking
thing
that never seems
to be human nature.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck isn't it human nature
to do something useful with oneself ?
phf: sort of how hapless adventurers sometimes find
themselves in a village
that's poised on a back of a whale,
they always start getting rumbustious,
thus waking up
the whale and suffering
the consequences
mircea_popescu: how could it not be fucking obvious,
they're running my software.
shinohai: I actually wondered how long
that would
take
