phf: asciilifeform: but even ignoring
that, which i
think was an interesting design challenge (go audit postgresql), sbcl falls over when actually
trying
to shuffle in memory data around
adlai was just
talking about how in-touch he is with his inner child
adlai apparently still misses
the occasional selfatari
adlai: * never. in a
toilet who's seat you've never warmed.
adlai: covertress: oh lol.
then why are you offering people
to shit in a
toilet you've warmed?
phf: if i wanted
to keep log in sql why would i even use lisp
to begin with?
covertress: chill, adlai, i've nevah posted
to steemit
adlai: oh yes add
this
to
the pile of sbcl warts. it sucks at growing
the heap dynamically.
phf: adlai: same code and data
that was
taking up ~~500mb with cmucl blew up lispworks
to 4gb, and now blowing up sbcl
to 1gb, which results in heap exhaustion errors, despite
the fact
that
there's still extra heap available
adlai: covertress: regarding "2016-08-29 18:36:38 +covertress mircea_popescu i've been asked
to extend you a similar offer...
to write for steemit xD", i'm very curious how much you have earned (ie, withdrawn btc from an exchange after selling) from
that shitpile
adlai: who knew
typos could happen in
the retina
adlai: i
thought
the EFF was suing mircea_popescu
adlai: phf: didn't miss it (i read scrollback! or at least, skim...), i
thought it was back up
phf: adlai: you missed
the part where
things were broken since 6pm or so
adlai: and before it died,
the logs looked out of date.
covertress: mircea_pepescu: i had wished
to convey Patrick's offer
to represent you against
the EF.
adlai: covertress: on a nicer note, i believe par for
this course is
to not just "read 6mo of logs", but actually spend 6mo reading logs, before planning/attending a conf
adlai: sic
transit gloria covertris
covertress: mircea_popescu: i regret
to inform you
that i will not be attending our dinner 26-Sept
adlai: maybe... maybe
this is how
to get in
touch with
the inner child?
adlai: nah i feel like a child using it, because i failed
to configure znc properly so i lazed away how i always do
ben_vulpes: adlai: yeah well
that'd be an adult's bouncer, neh?
adlai: alternatively just run irc in
tmux on a server
ben_vulpes: it persists an irc connection in spite of whatever
third-world problems your corporeal situation brings upon you.
ben_vulpes: have you ever heard of a
thing called a 'bouncer'?
covertress: jhvh1, recd your
tx from 5 days, 0 hours, and 29 minutes ago. evah heard of a phemon called a hurricane?
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: sawzall and day laborers, hardly
that much of an additional cost
ben_vulpes: i at least
try
to not scald myself during demo
ben_vulpes: near
the pressurized oh and did i mention heated vapor line?
ben_vulpes: i am a barbarian, use wd-40 for
these applications.
BingoBoingo: Gotta let rust lose
the batle
to penetrating agent before delivering
torque
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: is
that in some way i'm missing a
torque delivery device?
adlai: ben_vulpes: starting a degree in chemistry.
this is
the first
time i'm attending university, dunno if high school counts for (back)
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> just
two weekends ago i had
to excise some rust-welded nuts
that didn't have clearance for a socket wrench. << PB Blaster!
adlai: go ahead, mircea_popescu, say
that
the gzipped
txt fits better in yours
ben_vulpes: yeah mhm right next
to
the pressurized vapor line
that's a grand idea.
ben_vulpes: praytell, what'd be
the right
tool for
that job?
ben_vulpes: just
two weekends ago i had
to excise some rust-welded nuts
that didn't have clearance for a socket wrench.
ben_vulpes: if i had
to cart around
the right
tool for every possible job my
toolbox would be infinitely large
adlai: if he asks
to read it himself rather
than sit
through 10min of my silky smooth... failure
adlai will read
the lamport piece
to
the friend as a patience
test, before suggesting sicp / little schemer
BingoBoingo: Real pliers are found in electrical department where fake pliers still abound. Real wrenches are found in plumbing, or for automotive applications from
the vendor who operates out of prominently branded boxtruck.
BingoBoingo: which is exactly wrong.
This a job for pipe wrench and cloth, or in
the case of sinks a basin wrench which works on
the UNDERSIDE!
BingoBoingo: From herr vulpes link: "This is like a cross between a vice-grip and a crescent wrench.
This is great for bath/kitchen plumbing when you need
to remove stubborn fixtures and do not want
to embed
the channel lock/pipe wrench
teeth into
the chrome fixture and leave rough
teeth marks on
the smooth surface.
The wrench locks down without marring
the polished finish and it will not fall off if your hands are slippery wet. I also would like
to
adlai: lamport's DnD example is perfectly logical: (apply #'<folder> file) -> "label
this file as belonging
to
that folder", (apply #'<folder>) -> "show me what you got"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The sane hand
tools
though are normally seperated from insane
tools and spread out by department while insane
tools are all gathered in same pile.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> eventually
there will be separate 'underground' suppliers for ~reasonable building materials, just like you can only get actual food in usa from 'special' suppliers. << At
the moment
they sit on
the shelf next
to unreasonable building materials with smallest difference in price
tag.
adlai: "That all happened
twenty years ago. In retrospect,
thinking of programs as automobiles wasn???t so bad. Automobiles are pretty simple. If
their car stops working, people expect any good mechanic
to be able
to figure out why and fix
the problem" << Welcome
to
the 21st Century, where
the computers still don't work but now
they're in everything!
trinque: I have a shell script
that shits out
the gentoo I like
trinque: I have a disk image of old gentoo, but hey, why not see how hte kids do it
these days
ben_vulpes: ahaha
trinque biting off gentoo quest again?
trinque: becaues autism dictates you're actually creating
the /dev/softraid0
trinque: braindamaged
thing uses
the same command
to init a drive as attach
the softraid again next
time
trinque: I went
to mount an encrypted openbsd drive on a different (same endian) arch
trinque: speaking of rot, asciilifeform you'll like
this
ben_vulpes: mcmaster carr is one of
the last bastions of sanity in fab supplies.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i hope
this is a comment for
the log readers
mod6: asciilifeform hoards screws, and regrets nothing << im with ya.
they don't make shit like
they used
to.
ben_vulpes: on
the flip side,
torx work (for now). i sunk oodles of self-drillers
this past weekend without a single slip.
adlai: trinque: fwiw, $10k invested in something with a sane risk/reward curve can't net more
than ~$100/mo for very long.
ben_vulpes: because
the soft metal won't drive 3 inches
through pine with a phillips any more.
ben_vulpes: the final nail (screw?) is
that even
traditionally phillips applications (eg framing) now come with
the
torx heads.
trinque: yep, it's barfing
the raw protocol for it
trinque: Framedragger: yer
thing weirds up /me
ben_vulpes: i *know* how
to sink screws well, and
the zinc plated shit for sale is ~unusable even by me.
scriba: advantage in early automotive work.
torx does not cam out ; which was major advantage in
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-16: [19:47:07] <mircea_popescu> ACTION just found out
that phillips and
torx heads respectively aren't mere "let's arbitrarily change standards
to
try and extract spurious rents via alleged intellectual property" ; but in fact have proper reasons
to exist. a) phillips head is self-centering ; which is
to say driver does not slip out of screw being driven.
this was major
ben_vulpes:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160916/#242 << plausible, sure, but what has actually happened is
that a)
the chicoms have diddled
the phillips female bit such
that it cams out at
the slightest provocation and
than on
top of
that
the zamac used
to replace it wears after so much as a single slipped drive and b)
torx is a convenient workaround for
the shit metals
adlai: (with apologies
to Dear Stanislav)
adlai: [scalpl] seen from a distance, is a pretty good machine for converting
ten
thousand dollars into
twenty
thousand. [no footnote here! it can make money in crashing markets,
too] But, given
the [minimum
trade size] it is profoundly useless as a machine for converting
ten dollars into
twenty.
trinque: if your
thing works you should be flush with cash.
adlai: ('collaborate' implies either having money
to potentially lose, or fixing my bugs. preferably
the former because i do occasionally do
the latter)
adlai: btw, just
to bury
the earlier discussion of scalpl with shameless self-promotion: if anybody feels adventurous and wants
to collaborate, speak up (PM is also OK)
adlai doesn't know anybody who likes
their job enough
to work more
than
they need, with
the possible exception of his mom - who
teaches yoga.
adlai: i'm not sure
the 'dark age' is limited
to
this industry, it seems pretty global
adlai: eh i
try
to keep
the pitch minimal, and avoid repeating it (unless
too drunk
to remember
the last one). one guy got repeated pitches but
that's only because we lived
together and he kept remarking on how i "make money by
typing"
