ben_vulpes: any idea of why he doesn'
t hang out here?
doppler: well to be precise bash doesn'
t actually have a seq builtin
phf: actually there's more in the relevant section, but these two use cases i've often missed, and have no idea how i didn'
t know about them till now
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t teh actual word tho. dun rewrite teh bible!
mircea_popescu: anyway. this'll do fine for a stock answer to the people inquiring why $random-"standard" isn'
t supported. the account is delinquent. they owe a lot of money and are trying to defraud us of it.
mircea_popescu: of course you don'
t support it anyway. obviously. BUT IT FIRST PAYS THROUGH THE TEETH FOR THIS!
mircea_popescu: and "foundations" SURE AS FUCK don'
t count as an improvement here.
mircea_popescu: because i sure as fuck don'
t want "free trade" and "open whatever" and "accessiblity" if what that means is that intel gets to rule it.
mircea_popescu: the point here being, again, to restate : if the developer didn'
t meet a minimum value of sales, sega paid the difference.
mircea_popescu: so sega, in desperation, introduced a "minimum sales program". whereby, if the developer didn'
t meet a minimum value of sales
mircea_popescu: just mp-style "i can see the future but can'
t explain it to you, back to work."
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 00:12 asciilifeform: if i ever make the fpgaized thing, it sure as fuck won'
t bother trying to drive an lcd or eat keyboard, wtf, just speak x11.
trinque: and phy doesn'
t even appear to exist without mac init?
trinque: isn'
t my doing that there is no tool to produce a kernel driver config other than booting EVERYTHING THAT EVER WAS
trinque: or builds drivers he doesn'
t use, even
shinohai: Still won'
t actually prevent said buffer overflow
shinohai: The Prof that really isn'
t a Prof @ cornell
mircea_popescu: and re "folks", the elephant of sadness in the field everyone's been dancing around since forever is that none of the buyers buy for anything like a sane puyrpose. much like the 55 firebird buyer who isn'
t buying it in 2015 to make teenie boppers suck his cock in it ; but to drive it by city dumps and industrial zones which used to be a town and stroke his memories.
mircea_popescu: this being the substance of the whoile discussion since yest : you claimed to want something you showed you have ; i deduced the confusion must be resolved. "concepts" in the sense of "metaconsiderations" aren'
t interesting ; concepts in the sense of concepts you already have.
mircea_popescu: yes but i suspect you don'
t actually know what the word "concept" means.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, i can'
t believe my eyes lived through it.
mircea_popescu: oh incidentally, for the socialists in attendance : watch "quiz show". it's an utter piece of crap i couldn'
t comprehend why anyone bothered making until we got to the scene where the white priviledge guy apologizes for existing.
mircea_popescu: "oh no, that's just not poissible, who wouldn'
t want an obnoxious old woman." guess.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/fmGhw << i don'
t even know where to begin with this 'day in the life of 28yo credit suisse banker'. is bi that fucking cocksure that they think their readers will swallow pictostory about nice kid who plays squash and eats in cafeteria all day ? as if this kid isn'
t pushing dodgy shit onto worthless clients he and his bank don'
t give a shit about all because his higher-ups have some bad

t crash ? because i've been running trb on vps since it came out and have no particular complaints other than semi-regular st9 errors.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 23:34 mircea_popescu: tbh i have nfi how you could run trb in a vps. i don'
t think it's possible, not really. would be certainly quite the medal of merit on any software that can handle such.
mircea_popescu: some guy came up with the bright idea of ading a fine copper mesh to miner lamps so they dont' start fires anymore, about the same time. it didn'
t fucking change mining from milk to ambrosia.
mircea_popescu: it's just a different category of special pleading. even if you get me to fuck liz taylor tonight, and even if i personally fucking love it and propose marriage, i still won'
t agree she's structurally different from womanhood.
mircea_popescu: look, the label game only works if you can enforce it. and you can'
t.
mircea_popescu: yes, catalytic convertors could go away. they don'
t work with carburetors. so ?
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a single engine on the market, the kind with shaft driven aspiration and carbureted intake. so what.
mircea_popescu: there's just about nothing interesting you could find by opening hood of ancient car, as an engine designer today. not one trhing. most of them are collected, and are revered by a so-minded public, and aren'
t documented worth didly squat. i dun think this sunday hobby item is different from that.
doppler: well I suppose it wouldn'
t hurt to ask them
doppler: I haven'
t done anything in that regard personally
mircea_popescu: imo us and su failed exactly the same way : once the message got put out that "don'
t worry, do your own thing, we got X covered", it died the next day
mircea_popescu: but to get back to it : no, hitler didn'
t have much of a clue, nor were any of his decisions either sound, useful or correct.
mircea_popescu: that's the rub. not "need one billion". you don'
t. but you DO need a giant fly swatter to oppress teh masses with.
phf: speaking of FUCKGOATS, project PITCHFORK? i still can'
t get over that one
phf: that would be a nifty project if it didn'
t just reduce to "raspberry pi"
phf: i think the argument was, you can'
t do aa with ttf unless you're composing client side.
phf: i think the only thing i haven'
t tried yet is the stylus, which doesn'
t work if you just startx. i vaguely suspect there's a second mouse device i need to wire into the right place..
pete_dushenski: powerbook g3 ? thought those were nifty as a kid but i was still on desktops at the time. brief foray into laptopery didn'
t come until college in 04
phf: pretty sure it won'
t, i even read a reason for it, but don'
t recall what it is anymore
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i've spent the last couple evenings since ppc thread re-emerged trying to run openbsd 6 on macppc. can'
t get the bloody machine to recognise cdrom OR usb. open firmware, boot screen, etc nada zilch zip.
mircea_popescu: tbh i have nfi how you could run trb in a vps. i don'

ben_vulpes: you want to hoon around the parking lot making smoke? buy a drift slut, don'
t do that to the wrx
ben_vulpes: the one additional point possibly worth making is that don'
t run your engines hot if you want them to last.
ben_vulpes: as if the plane weren'
t stupidly complex enough already, let's bolt another pile of heinous complexity to it as well
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don'
t have any quads yet
ben_vulpes: i don'
t think i want watercooled irreplaceable computronium
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... considering what's on youtube, i wouldn'
t be surprised if they had.
diana_coman: that sounds close enough/toward the "make money renting folding chairs" though, doesn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: i imagine he ran. also i don'
t imagine he got any this year.
ben_vulpes: what, he wasn'
t going to offer you one for the privilege of staring at your babe?
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was lulzy, "let's see your papers" "well i don'
t carry them" "why not ?" "the embassy told me not to because i'll get robbed." "oh".
