the source is kicking around
trinque: ben_vulpes: why would anyone read republican code when
there are shithubs
to pilfer and
tape
together
phf: asciilifeform: have you seen all
those "hardware sources of randomness" devices
that's been surfacing recently?
shinohai: Use our system, and leave
the pesky key-handling
to us!
trinque: I don't know what
they
think
this does.
mircea_popescu: i found
the preface more interesting
than
the
tome, myself.
PeterL: speaking of books, mircea_popescu have you read "The Prince" by Machiavelli? I have been reading it and for some reason it made me
think of you (though I expect you would read it in
the original Italian?)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course
they gotta join forces.
they stand no chance.
mircea_popescu: you seem
to be ~the only one who cares about
that particular fanclub
though.
mircea_popescu: which is most of
the reason chicks even get headphones.

to detect when
they’re in your ears, playing only when
they’re in your ears.
The setup process is super easy — connect
the AirPods once

the AirPods instantly sync over iCloud

there, you never worry about
them again.' >> oblig. >>
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=752 mircea_popescu: "Whilst
the misguided follower climbs with pain mountains of whimseys, heaped in his own brain, stumbling from
thought
to
thought, falls headlong down into doubt's boundless sea where, like
to drown, books bear him up awhile, and make him
try
to swim with bladders of philosophy."
Framedragger: eh,
the chan is educational and
therefore useful on
that merit alone, and
that's nice
mircea_popescu pictures someone who actually feels shame over not having read
the references here. imagine! you got "i used
to fuck lions in kindergarten" alf ; native russian poet afficionado and whatever else phf is,
then
there's
the cinematic
tradition, and
the...
Framedragger: ah damn i must have heard of him in a lithuanian context but i probably know nothing of him, even
though evidently i should. /shame
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [16:03:08] <asciilifeform> pretty lulzy, motherfucking 16TH CENTURY b00k, is NOWHERE on
the net.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough,
this condition also exists in humans, albeit rare.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : man and lion have rather comparable penii in size. except
the cat, like most cats, has keratin penile spikes.
mircea_popescu can readily see how
the "african warrior" idi amin mentality would pay
to fuck a lioness.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'd be unsurprised if
there's a market in africa for lion prostitution.
mircea_popescu: anyway. hyenas are not cats, like lions are, but dogs. even if
they've adapted into as much catness as possible. so
the
two aren't actually sexually compatible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not only
that, but hyena is
the more efficient.
mircea_popescu: for
the curious, leucrota is what happens when a hyena fucks a lioness.
mircea_popescu: check it out,
twenny bux bought me an egg hunt machine.
mircea_popescu: and it's my job
to find
the grinds in
the kitchen once it's done.
mircea_popescu: this is like you know, "this coffee grinder - doesn't grind coffee".
this is pretty serious - what
the fuck does it do
then ?
mircea_popescu: young mps idea of what a compiler does was, "well it basically completely unwinds
the code, so it's all flat, and
then checks everything".
then young mp saw
the first "runtime error" and locked.
then
told
teacher
this isn't real programming and he's not interested.
