thanks! And again,
thanks for your help. :]
BingoBoingo: There is no reason
to add value
to youtube by allowing links
to it.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: If see a video on youtube and want
to link it on Qntra comments do
the responsible
thing. Use youtube-dl and
then rehost
the video.

ben_vulpes: freenode passwords are useless as an authentication mechanism.
the republic has an authentication mechanism, it is gpg-via-deedbot.

mircea_popescu: boy is freenode in a sorry state. currently five servers up, of which 130.239.18.119 and 193.10.255.100 are down solid. which leaves
three.
trinque: reddit-level circlejerk right
there.
trinque: I used
to work for
the first company
that manufactured server blades...

the use of "amateurish balderdash".

this is very spiffy and finally obsoletes
the ad-hoc
thing i've been using since rotor 1 - finally i can use mod6's script. will
test later
this weekend. << hey
thanks! let us know how it goes.

that sounds dangerously like it can belong

BingoBoingo: <phf> "When a human emoji is not immediately followed by a emoji modifier character, it should use a generic, non-realistic skin
tone, such as:" (yellow, blue, gray) << AHA
the skin
tones of real alcoholics, apneics, and anemics apparently aren't real!
a111: Logged on 2015-10-31 16:24 phf: some hypothetical b-a os and internal consistency of
the whole model. if you say "we support utf-8" here, you're also saying "we support unicode x.y" everywhere
phf: i wonder if
they are going
to make a man|zero-width-joiner|boy sequence invalid,
to fight pedophilia
phf: so you can use "zero width joiner"
to combine a Fitzpatrick diverse boy/girl/man/woman into a back-of-ford-truck family sticker
phf: i suppose
the solution is
the same, cap it at version X
phf: well, remember
that really old
thread where we were deciding if
tmsr material is ascii or utf-8 or somesuch, and i was saying "the implications of importing all
the unicode shit is
that we will have
to support unicode libraries" etc
phf: "When a human emoji is not immediately followed by a emoji modifier character, it should use a generic, non-realistic skin
tone, such as:" (yellow, blue, gray)
phf: "Five symbol modifier characters
that provide for a range of skin
tones for human emoji were released in Unicode Version 8.0 (mid-2015).
These characters are based on
the six
tones of
the Fitzpatrick scale, a recognized standard for dermatology (there are many examples of
this scale online, such as FitzpatrickSkinType.pdfexternal link).
The exact shades may vary between implementations."
phf:
http://unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html includes such wonderful questions as "Once
the Unicode Consortium encodes an emoji character, when will it appear on my phone?" and "But
the Unicode Standard includes other flags, why don’t you include my flag?"

The operation succeeded.
phf: one i first read
those i
thought
to myself "that's cute but only 4?
that's kind of limited".
took me like 15 years
to realize
that not understanding of
those is at
the root of all computer folly
phf: haha, it was, actually i
thought it was something unrelated, because
tom knight koan comes up ~a lot~
a111: Logged on 2015-09-28 21:22 phf:
this goes back
to
tom knight and
the lisp machine koan. you can't substitute understanding, and every piece of your stack where your understanding is limited by "stuff is happening i
think" is going
to bite you in
the ass. specifically you can't
take an opaque blob
that barely runs on dev's machine and expect it
to cleanly deploy, and no amount of container is going
to change
that.
shinohai: Have you
tried
throwing feces at it?
jhvh1: asciilifeform: jurov was last seen in #trilema 1 week, 5 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes, and 41 seconds ago: <jurov> Framedragger: irc also floods you with everythign in all channels, it' responisibility of your client
to neatly sort it out
shinohai: Probably not practical idea until mem leak is plugged in
trb
shinohai: asciilifeform: Did you do any further experiments on
the mycloud mini ?
shinohai: Well it isn't really weight I guess, I do rsync
trb blockchain
to it. So it has uses.
BingoBoingo: For other people vice is workbench weight (they don't know how
to mount it)

the pogo.
shinohai: TIL Hippocrates of Kios was

mircea_popescu: perhaps
the earliest attestable case of "global warming" in "science".
mircea_popescu: so
the new method (easier! better!) also couldn't do some
things
the old (cancer!
terrorist!) method could do ; and
that something became a major point of crank science
throughout
the ~2k years of history
this paradigm prevailed.
mircea_popescu: however
that "classical" paradigm is interesting in itself :
the greeks knew of neusis ; and used it. but eventually it fell in disfavour, because a) people are lazy and b) a guy named hippocrates (of kios) ran a campaign against it. presumably because it gave his aunt cancer.
mircea_popescu: this last problem is unsolvable (and proved as such, by an early application of galois
theory even before galois got around
to publishing it) in
the classical paradigm of compass and straight edge.

truthiness and just follow
the hand", such pinnacle of achievement in imbecility, and
try
to fucking draw
the outer square yourself.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, in re
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-17#1544304 :
the more scholarly inclined readers may know
that
the greeks had a very interesting method of constructive geometry called neusis. it consists of marked edge and pin, where you rotate
the edge around a certain point.
this allows you
to, for instance, draw polygons with 10 or 12 faces but not 11 ; and
to
trisect
the angle.

☟︎ shinohai: I envision
the future being mircea_popescu 's head in a jar, labeled "Trilema" ala Richard Nixon from Futurama
mircea_popescu envisions
this endgame state for his own 70s, where he keeps getting excited and writing articles in a fury, which are slowly decaying copies of already extant
trilema articles.

the presence of a bin folder manifest and makefile is intended
to provide a place
to check
the sha512 hash of
the built product upon such
time as we can beat gcc into producing
the exact same binary for a given release.

trolling places like craigslist and ebay for vintage opterons, probably also not a bad idea
mircea_popescu: thanks god "pop psychology", "religious dogmatism" and other such useful labels are provided by god immediately
through direct affixion
to subject matter. especially useful - "artistic narcissism".
mircea_popescu: t is impossible for human foresight
to pronounce ; but
there is just ground
to apprehend
that its progress may be marked with calamities of which
the dreadful incidents of
the French revolution afford a very faint image."
mircea_popescu: "The spirit of Jacobinism, if not entirely a new spirit, has at least been cloathed with a more gigantic body and armed with more powerful weapons
than it ever before possessed. It is perhaps not
too much
to say,
that it
threatens more extensive and complicated mischiefs
to
the world
than have hitherto flowed from
the
three great scourges of mankind, WAR, PESTILENCE and FAMINE.
To what point it will ultimately lead society, i

the easy part.
