http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655841 << why did btc4rx7 deal fall through ? /me offered previous owner of saddam 10btc. he declined because 'too volatile' and 'family to feed'. i didn't think he'd bite, but now there's at least one more schmuck who can't say he never had the olive branch extended to him. i guess that's something.

<mircea_popescu> chainsaw bike eh. why not microwave tv and tower laundry machine dildo, while at it.
<< Microwave tv would be great for solving problem of people immersed in tv.

<mircea_popescu> snow is not so terrible because very insulating.
<< I can attest! I grew up on cape cod; while the winters never usually got below ~30 F on average, the occasional noreaster would punch you to the bone. cold rain + high winds = no fun

'moar durable! progress!' is anything but. nooz at 11.

<< lol

mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> on the upside, really can't be fired anymore.
<< probably not. i don't worry about it. if one door closes, another opens. besides, someday not too far off, this will be the thing.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> ( you can't do it on fpga. )
<< needs actual crystal?
mircea_popescu: "Somewhat fortunately Balsamiq was too successful for that, and Giacomo was forced to hire more and more people. Balsamiq is now being built by 25 members, who service around 0.5M customers and manage 10,000 new transactions a month. All of it generating about $7M a year."
<< this is actually a model-run business. had nfi mp-style even exists in fiat world, but lo and behold. took 10 years to get to 7mn a year, sustainably.

<mircea_popescu> “We are very excited about this win,” said Bharat Parikh, CEO, AASKI Technology.
mircea_popescu: "Letting you specify behaviors and click-actions would inevitably turn Mockups into a much more complex tool, which is a terrible thing for us: if we want to continue to be the in-between tool, Mockups needs to be extremely quick to learn so that every stakeholder can have their say with an equal playing field."
<< check it out, they even got the "level playing field" thing. what was the sf thing with the dumbing devices ?
shinohai: The motivation for creating the shitty database boils down to "the one we were using wasn't written in a hipster language."
<<< top kek

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587264 << so delightfully naive, in retrospect. "oh, the reason alphabet doesn't work is that the meaning of words gets lost through thousands of years, but if only they had slideshare then! the wholly contentless meaningless diagram is eternal -- nothing there to lose!"
☝︎ mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work.
<< i kinda agree that some type of loose style guide should be created and posted to minimize churn/rework to assimilate
mircea_popescu: + BOOST_FOREACH(PAIRTYPE(opcodetype, valtype)& item, vSolution)

mircea_popescu: + for (std::map

<<< took me a triple take.

<danielpbarron> aaand i have done it. i have a laptop that powers on and without any other touching will end up at the eulora login screen. then when you quit, it drops down to gdb where you can run it again or quit. if you quit, the machine shuts down

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1653984 << so i got a copy, mine had a mechanical looking gash in the spine, had to send it for replacement. otherwise it's not horrible. it's a cheap thermal binding, but the paper is crisp, and the source is TeX so it looks reasonable.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655475 << he has a point though, every redesign cycle the momentum-based store (like they use in eg F1 cars) comes back to the drawing board. turns out having a small heavy well spinning real fast is not really much worse than trying to store energy in batteries.
