mircea_popescu: (pro
tip, if your idea is "but mp,
tor was actually built by nsa,
this
thing is just built by some random poor people" you lose at life. what
the fuck,
the socialists observe propriety lines now ?
the whole world was made by
their hunchback of a god and gave
to
them as a gift dontchaknow.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, back
to
the original issue, what exactly is supposed
to protect gabriel's present infatuation from being applebaum'd in
the arbitrary future ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "the Mist plateau is famous for its
thick fogs and beautiful women"... wouldn't you expect
this not
to be
the case ?
mircea_popescu: a sharp knife will do
that, yes.
the cursed sword of japan also.
mircea_popescu: the republican experience with lisp
to date is very sorry indeed.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness : common lisp has managed
to shackle an otherwise very intelligent, competent fellow
to
the position he scored so bad on his
tests he got flunked.
this is no small performance, seeing how universally reviled and properly bad solutions do not have
the sort of problem.
Framedragger: ahh.
thanks for
the picture. guess you're right
mircea_popescu: incidentally, you know
that's how
they get wet, right ?
Framedragger: well my last gf
turned out
to be sorta-adolescent, so i'm using osmosis as excuse
mircea_popescu: you lot have a lot in common with adolescent girls, you know
this ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
then stop lying
to yourself and draw
the design spec correctly.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you're probably right. problem is, site may need
to be expanded later, and i hate re-doing work. but, you're probably right, in
the end...
mircea_popescu: wp
theme is good spcifically if you want
the same
thing over many pages, comment box, post box etc.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger for a small
thing like
that which will stay small you're best served by spitting out html.
mircea_popescu: there is no "connect plox", and
there is no "unconnected".
they exist.
that's it.
Framedragger: OT: i don't suspect anyone's got any suggestions for a wordpress
theme
to use (minimalist, gonna be ~3 pages in
total, no comment box) for showcasing a newly published (non-electronic) book?
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck is "unconnected" even mean, sovereign from physics laws ?
mircea_popescu: dude... do you bring
the same arguments re
thermodynamics ? "yeah, heat so and so, but
this is unconnected"
mircea_popescu: the eternal male fantasy of
the "free sex", "hook-up", whatever.
this is how
they use you
to build
the pyramids, you realise.
mircea_popescu: "if you're not
the customer you're
the product" "oh yeah, i understand
that now" "no you don't" "o look, i hadn't understood it". either you pay, or else you're getting married.
these are
the options. stop confusing yourself.
mircea_popescu: i can't possibly comprehend why simple logic is so hard in practical application, but. unless he says "gimme 20 btc", what he says is "marry me".
there are no possible, understand ~possible~ exceptions
to
this.
mircea_popescu: everywhere. do you understand words ?
they have meanings. you do not get
to alter
that, change domains, anything. everywhere means absolutely and without exception everywhere.
mircea_popescu: if it's "ill give you 20 btc",
then
that's your cap. if it's "we'll do..."
then you're lost.
mircea_popescu: the notion of acquiring for free unbounded exposure
to some group of online retards is mindboggling.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a business strategy
thing :
throwing away 20k
to see maybe a group of
these "intelligent" retarded kids can get
their shit
together or not is one
thing. oyu may do it or not, but if you do it it's because
there's a definite cap on your exposure. even so - it'll be rare.
mircea_popescu: it's useful in
that it puts in stark contrast
the business-idiocy of
the whole
tower.
mircea_popescu: the famous "no pirate exposure" pirate-era scams were in fact pirate whitelabels,
to allow people
to pretend etc.
mircea_popescu: ie, what supermarkets do with
those "supermarket brand" items ; or what everyone on
the internet does with
their "expertise" etc.
mircea_popescu: well generally, whitelabel is whenever one uses his own connections
to market someone else's product as if it were his own.
mircea_popescu: so how is
this different from "in
the sense
that i'd whitelabel it off him ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, so like, "electric car recharging" ? in
the sense
that i'd whitelabel it off him ?
mircea_popescu: the odds of mistaking friend and foe
to quite
the degree should be evidently dismal.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's how
this whole "online"
thing worked for ever and ever : "corporate" creates a baited hook ; "consumer" mistakes baited hook for fish, gives his
trust
to google and his data
to facebook. what am i, fucken retarded ?!
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:158/to:158#158 << it's not clear
to me what "clim support" does for a website ; i am certainly not going
to expend marketing resources on some item i don't own.
this last bit is particularly pernicious, incidentally - is
this clim
thing even breaking
the law ? why
the fuck am i supposed
to confuse a bunch of usg-tools for my own men ?
gabriel_laddel: The
tardstalks who put
the "commercial support" section on
the McCLIM website at
the very end of a page for developers (lol:
https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/involve) will probably
take several months
to organize.
They don't english very well, and someone who does will have quite
the advantage.
gabriel_laddel: If anyone wants
to be WAY ahead of
the curve, now would be
the
time
to update your websites stating
that you offer CLIM support / build CLIM programs aor start a marketing campaign.
gabriel_laddel: This leaves 38 forms
to be implemented, many of which are simply sitting in
the (crappy) franz implementation
gabriel_laddel: jackdaniel just submitted a working hack around
the last showstopping McCLIM bug.
Framedragger: (final
thing - sending SIGKILL and seeing what happens
a111: Logged on 2016-08-30 05:16 mircea_popescu:
the idea in both cases is
that data storage depends on a very fixed relationship between geometry and magnetic substrate. breaking
that (such as
through boiling plastic, or cracking glass) is as good an approach as any "direct" method, and what's more stacks with any direct method.
Framedragger: restarting machine which does
the logging
to double-check
that
things reconnect in case of power failure etc.,
too.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: and i'll implement
these
things even if phf's bot becomes more reliable or w/e, because, decentralization!1
☟︎ mod6: regardless,
thanks for pointing
that out.
mod6: thought
there was something serious
to
the pH of
the
tomato sauce
that would etch?
the platters somewhat.
mircea_popescu: the idea in both cases is

☟︎ mircea_popescu: to clarify mod6 :
the boiling in
tomato juice is a joke/throwback
to
the old days, when
this was
the way
to dispose of flexible disks (esp
the 5 inch ones), where
the magnetic zone stands on some cheapo plastic. hard drives haven't used
that style of platter for many years now, it's usually doped glass
these days. boiling
that doesn't do much of anything, but you can just crack
the platters with a hammer/wrench whatever.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> not sure if i saw
that one. will follow up with a blowtorch << Give more
time with
the heat.
trinque: it's not
the
transfer rate limit; it's whether connection stays open longer
than ping/pong maybe.
mircea_popescu: laugh all you want at
the lamp shitstack, but you can't
take down qtra via wget
mircea_popescu: phf got a lot
to learn about
the practical side of
these
things it
turns out.
trinque: also, apparently
the way
to restart a111 is
to give
the www a good dicking?
mircea_popescu: "Earlier in
the week I had
taken screenshots of our
Trello
task board (Jessica was changing it around
to make it look like I did nothing)" <<< ahahaha fucking idiot kids. "start-up", puts
the motherloade of confidential/business matter on rando social media site. back at reality ranch, do
that and you're fired, and you have
to hire a lawyer. but in california idiot parade,
they
think it's about as standard as bottled water.
trinque: mod6: yeah,
that's why I stopped
the presses for it
mod6: holy smokes. lol,
that's all of em in one shot 'eh
trinque?
mod6: then blow
torched 'em.
