mircea_popescu: emacs frozen as part of gossipd, other implementations allowed at user's discretion.
asciilifeform: and in fact the reason the linked idiocy is so jaw-dropping is that the d00d broke the mightiest x11 proggy so as to fit his peculiar psychosis
asciilifeform: as naggum did.
asciilifeform: motherfucker, looks like this was the warning bell, as soon as this idiocy makes it into mainline emacs (and it will) i will have to maintain own fork.
asciilifeform: 'Emacs uses an X11 extension, DOUBLE-BUFFER, largely seen as an historical artifact. There are other hacks I didn’t describe, like putting scrollbars in their own X11 window, contrary to the intent and design of the GTK people. This extension allows us to reuse our existing drawing code and redirect it to an off-screen buffer. GTK+ or Lucid or Motif or whatever we’re using is oblivious. My diff turns scrollbars and other widgets
asciilifeform: d to reason with cattle. No more. Completing the CLX implementation, as described above should take no more than a few months.' << this is iirc the first time i am seeing 'mean girlz' in a shithub page.

asciilifeform: not as if it will have to be paid in actual money
mircea_popescu: why not. mit is worth 500 billiards as well as it's worth 50 billions.
mircea_popescu: they have ap oint though : this debt holds "all of us" back - if college numbers were released from this peg in reality the gdp could go as high as 500% the first month.
BingoBoingo: http://trilema.com/2009/abraham-lincoln-tradator-de-neam-si-tara/#comment-119577 << the discussion that follows as people learn reading is quite the artifact
asciilifeform: ey”, referred to by Zooko as toxic waste, needed to be destroyed. If this data is not destroyed, someone who has access to this key is able to generate an infinite amount of anonymous ZCash. This is the so called “hidden inflation problem”; unlimited counterfeiting of coins while nobody is able to detect it. ...'
BingoBoingo: Fuck Yeah. Or mebbe https://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/5794066983.html as project to make awesome flatbed road hero.
shinohai: "The Republic's efforts to locate Peace on Earth, going as far as the gates of Hell, resulted in SFYL as the forum admins selectively scammed MP for 0.1 BTC"
phf: i have to add this as an asset in an ongoing hostilities with my iranian colleagues over "things that we have invented and you stole from us", which started as this things do over my casual remark that samovar was invented by russians
phf: armenia wasn't part of russia until 19th century, and in 16th century it wouldn't yet be under iranian influence, so it's possible that it was brought all the way from iran as bademjan
phf: hah, that's why i like baba ganoush, but i don't know the recipe for later. when cooked russian style it's somewhat different from what they sell as baba ganoush in u.s.
phf: mircea_popescu: oh it's great as a zakuska, i was just thinking that i should make some "eggplant caviar" (no idea what the proper translation is)
BingoBoingo: phf: trinque is right. Don't think of them as potatoes. Think of them as a sort of underground squash.
phf: i don't get sweet potatoes, i've been trying to work with them, but they don't seem to ever come out tasty. i even tried them as fries..
ben_vulpes as well
mircea_popescu: there IS such a thing as engineering specifications!
asciilifeform: https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/protocol/protocol.pdf << it is not necessary to read all of this to understand the 'catch', it is the same as with the earlier 'ring signatures' crapolade
asciilifeform: because, and as i said before, there is ~unlimited supply of academitards etc. ready to play.
pete_dushenski: same reason as b4
pete_dushenski: want to use gentoo or even so much as osx10.8 ? enjoy using an external keyboard on the airplane because there's no other way to use f-keys
trinque: gotta have as many systems in systems as possible; it makes hackers too tired to do the deed
shinohai: I used that as basis for my Qntest submission: http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76612
BingoBoingo: "As it happens, some older Subaru models have ignition keys that sometimes work in any number of other Subaru vehicles. The car the “thief” was looking for was sitting a block away the entire time."
mircea_popescu: apparently virginity is as socially fascinating today as 2k years ago

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-27#1559571 << honda ridgeline is fairly common tbh. dunno where ttac hyperbole about 'the only truck with passable headlights is the one you've never seen' is all about, but probably related to what 'most normal, reasonable people' (ie. sjw's) see from their sheltered vistas, as per http://www.contravex.com/2016/04/19/be-vewy-vewy-qwiet-weuh-hunting-wabbits/ ☝︎
BingoBoingo: shinohai: As you can see by the byline this is opening piece of a new day.
BingoBoingo: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. This falls under "serenity to accept" as it is little business of mine how the evil empire intends to end itself.
asciilifeform: as in, for seconds, or even minutes.
mircea_popescu: (the solution, for completeness is sort -T /path to drive with plenty of space. which usually isn't mounted as /tmp/ which is its default)
BingoBoingo: Let's come together as a skewl.
asciilifeform: it was labeled as britain somewhere ?!
mircea_popescu: "The severity of the bug is listed as high, and can be triggered by merely visiting a webpage containing malicious code or dapp." roflmao
mircea_popescu: they're not so much evil as just incredibly stupid through blindfolding / willing suspension of disbelief.
mircea_popescu: hmm i suppose that didn't come out quite right. you know, pusstard as in pussy custard.
trinque: almost as if these countries the US keeps lighting on fire are right next door to RU

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, thay you liken your belief to thermodynamics kinda proves my point. my belief is as real to me (more even) as laws of nature
phf: might as well
mircea_popescu: i dunno what he means, tbh. as far as i'm concerned, if she's obedient and tall enough there's exactly nothing more one can ask. if you don't like her tits you talk to a doctor ; if you don't like her ass she works out, each day, every day. all good ass is made not fallen from the sky, there are no excuses. if she doesn't know shit you teach her, if she has bad habits you train her, there's really naught more. this is a belie
pete_dushenski: dunno wat the hell they're teaching kids in school these days but is sure as hell isn't anything of practical import.
danielpbarron: diana_coman, yeah that and, it's a good thing (good as in scripturally)
diana_coman: fwiw to me daniel's posts on this + the thoughts expressed here on the necessity of shared "core beliefs" to qualify for friendship etc sound as an elaborate form of "I'm on my own, it's terribly lonely and it hurts"
danielpbarron: and that's not as it sounds, to die would mean to join Him in His kingdom
mircea_popescu: well, if the point is selection, then all this is working as intended, no ? you should be thrilled with the tool.
mircea_popescu: donkey is about as heavy as a man. and yes they can apply weight, but they apply weight to what's essentially soft tissue.
mircea_popescu: (yes, there is such a thing as a penis fracture. it occasionally happens when a (short) woman cowgirls her husband after a night of drinking)
mircea_popescu: i suppose they don't show this in general use schematics etc, but the peritoneal cavity is protected in females by strong conjunctive tissue reinforced by a strong muscle that uses the pubis for leverage. you've about the same chances to break into her guts as you have to break a dude's forearm through his bicep.
trinque: "as the military continues to rely on the low-and-slow attack plane for close-air support (CAS) missions flown against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria." << coming soon to an american urban warfare theater near you.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> check it out, the trishop has meanwhile set aside apostasy as an exclusion criteria for nuptials. << key word is *friend* -- the point being, if man and woman don't both believe then they shouldn't even be friends, let alone get married
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so that there's no repeat of the bickening, is 'in principle bash could work like x' the new way forward ? because i don't at all mind moderating bashes. in fact, i kinda like it. i'm also not entirely persuaded that every last bash contender is worthy of publication, but i grant that it's not ultimately my call. either way, i'm honoured to have contravex serve as host in whatever capacity
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron suppose the woman believes and the man doesn't, and they're married. as she's to take after him in all things ; and he's to educate her in all matters, by the time of her first litter she'll be an apostate too!
mircea_popescu: check it out, the trishop has meanwhile set aside apostasy as an exclusion criteria for nuptials.
mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/38D3N << derpy woman with no tech anything in SV has tiny deal collapse, she misrepresents it as "her refusing to deal with some guy who might have once had dinner with thiel", bloomberg is happy to run the nonsense.
asciilifeform: i had silicone hoses to the tube, but extended with latex so as to reach the chiller
shinohai: Well, Marxist ideas, such as everyone is somehow equal and wealth should be distributed.
asciilifeform: looks as if the domain contact was... chetty
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-25#1558908 << asciilifeform's pet is mixing dough as we speak ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-25#1558905 << as seen in eco's 'name of the rose' !11111 ☝︎
trinque: and amarillo's redneck as it gets
mircea_popescu: or that there's such a thing as a healthy dose of neurosis now.
asciilifeform: 'Nursery workers suggested a four-year-old boy who mispronounced the word “cucumber” as “cooker bomb” should be referred to a counter-terrorism project, his family has claimed.'
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: italians aren't lazy so much as taxed into being "effient" with their taxable labour.
mircea_popescu: technology, as always to the detriment of the naturally gifted
mircea_popescu: this scheme is so evidently inept, no explanation as to why nobody tried to implement it is required.
asciilifeform: and as if the infrastructure for this were not already in place at every telco on planet3 ?
asciilifeform: (all of the examples i personally know of, are perfectly reflashable-via-baseband, just same as crapple etc.)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: buys cheapest possible shoes as well?
ben_vulpes has crate as well
mircea_popescu: "Avoid easy selections, such as qwerty or password. If you want to pick an easy-to-remember but somewhat unique password, consider a variation of a word, such as a1rPl4nE for airplane." ☟︎
ben_vulpes: "Postfix uses file locking to avoid access conflicts while updating Berkeley DB or other local database files. This used to be safe, but as Berkeley DB has evolved to use more aggressive caching, file locking may no longer be sufficient." << oh ffs
mircea_popescu: lmao dis shit is epic. "I also noticed that there was truly exquisite food on one side of the room: there was ham and salami and even sausages that looked as exceptional as I had ever seen."
mircea_popescu: trinque re that "china wants to" bit, best i can figure there's two thugs and a whore ; and the "new york elites" running the whore's mouth (writing plenty of checks its ass can't actually cash) have arbitrarily decided thug #1 is good, thug #2 is bad. in which contexts pieces like "look what thug X is doing" simply serve as a psychologically-defended mechanism for the mouth to try and direct the movements of the ass.
mircea_popescu: "oh baby, how about you suck cock for free, and if you suck as much as couric you too cold one day be worth 10mn"
mircea_popescu: ie, the zsa zsa gabors of a new generation, the 1% of media whores who married well and are now held up before the twentysomething herd as a sort of cunt frenzying fetish
a111: Logged on 2015-07-07 04:11 asciilifeform: mats: as a rule, i am entirely uninterested in 'mitigations'
asciilifeform: 'In a police interview, Amir A. confessed to the crime; telling officers the incident had been "a sexual emergency", as his wife had remained in Iraq and he "had not had sex in four months". ... However, in a bizarre twist, the Supreme Court yesterday overturned the conviction, accepting the defence lawyer's claim that the original court had not done enough to ascertain whether or not the rapist realised the child was saying no.'
shinohai: With competition such as yourself BingoBoingo, I am content merely to read your submissions with glad heart.
ben_vulpes: you know honestly i'd not considered writing an ode to the plinths marvelous utility as a bludgeon
asciilifeform: btw main effect, apparently, is to keep the thing from working on unregistered winblowsen, as seen in https://archive.is/BrcIy .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: domain 'investment' was so closely a premonition of modern shitcoinery scams, that it is almost of a same relationship to them as nipkow's mechanical televisor to modern tv.
ben_vulpes: neon signs, redone as gif
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-22#1558179 << it isn't even 1/3 done with Framedragger's material as of yet. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/WHfpe << clinton oligarch branson testifies as to which hand feeds him.
shinohai: I guess the token scheme isn't working as planned.
mircea_popescu recalls the not so distant days a coupla years ago when these imbeciles were masquerading as bidnismen with suits and secretaries and who is mp./
asciilifeform: as described by uncle al
mircea_popescu: "Victorious third world struggles, so long as they have been successfully localized, do not lead to realistic post-capitalist achievements, and certainly not to post-patriarchal ones, since the conversation of the form of the nation state is itself enough to guarantee the reinsertion of a society into the system of inhibited synthesis. For as long as the dynamic of guerrilla war just leads to new men at the top . . . History
asciilifeform: phf: afaik d00d is one of thiel's court clowns, since '11 or so, and free to do mostly whatever he wants so long as it remains reasonably quiet.
