PeterL: pilot only needs one instrument at a
time, why clutter cockpit?!?
mircea_popescu: i
tell you
though, whenever i came into
the office of some dude who was literally fucking around with 45 different pieces of paper at
the same
time, i wouldn't
think "oh
this guy is such a super hero" but rather "ok,
this guy's getting fired first."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only
thing
this "tiling" bullshit does, in your case as exemplified, and in general as a matter of necessity, is
that it allows you
to hide your poor cognitive performance in minutious labour. IF you are encountering certain classes of problems (wood splinters in glans penis), it is because you are doing certain
things wrong and should revise your process. a signal proper pagination does give you, and
tiling
phf: mircea_popescu: i work a lot better with your method, but i also sometimes like
to manually drag windows around in a particular arrangement as a sort of distracted busy work.
the only usecase i found for
tiling wm is "full screen everything"
mircea_popescu: anyway ; anyone is free
to jack off with whatever
technique he prefers. let it be clearly stated
though
that a) underhand is perfectly valid and b)
that
the first
time you were unsupervised as a 9yo you did it with sharpened pencils does not mean sharpened pencisl are required
to jack off.
phf: actually i had best results with multiple logs in a single file, color coded. it gives you also better understanding of
time relationship between events
mircea_popescu: "it would be so
terribly hard and difficult
to pipe all
the shit into a single file and
tail
that omaygerd."
phf: so we have
three different behaviors here
mircea_popescu: i am seriously sitting here flipping between log and xchat, and i wouldn't care
to do it another way.
mircea_popescu: phf what
the fuck is wrong with just flipping pages / adding more panels if flipping is
THAT big a deal
☟︎ phf: laying out
terminals is nice, but i prefer how fvwm did it. "find a square of screen realestate, where i can fit it, with some
tolerance"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've yet
to use a "non-full-screen window" for anything.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, so is any woman you meet. in a few brief years she'll have
to be redone, by some woman, painfully, from zero.

the guy who invented
tiling window managers (tuomo valkonen, he wrote Ion,
that nobody probably remembers at
this point), quit linux in 2005 or so over exactly
these
things. his pet peve was all
the retardation
that was going into x11 as part of linux on desktop movement. of course back
then people laughed at him, etc.
mircea_popescu: ie, you're constructing
this experiment
to miss out on
the stuff
that didn't exist in 1990.
phf: bordeaux-threads now mandates asdf >3.1, why?
there's literally no reason
mircea_popescu: reality : kernel-utility-3/kernel-idiocy-4 = kernel-utility-9 / kernel-idiocy-12 ; alf-proposition-1 : "3 is approx 9". alf-proposition-2 : "meanwhile 4
turned
to 12!!!1"
mircea_popescu: and if pushed, alf-proposition-3 : "all numbers of
the same number of digits are ~equal"
mircea_popescu: reality : 3/4 = 9 / 12 ; alf-proposition-1 : "3 is approx 9". alf-proposition-2 : "meanwhile 4
turned
to 12!!!1"
mircea_popescu: this is you : 3/4 = 9 / 12. 3 is approx 9. meanwhile 4
turned
to 12!!!1
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 17:04 phf: you just forgot how it was in '98. you now have wider range of available shit, so it's
the snr
that has changed.
there was definitely a peak free software where available range also had max hacker value, i.e. intangible quality of buildable, inspectable, etc. but before
that free software was kind of shit with a lot of dyi required.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 16:56 phf: well, i'm more interested in mechanics of it all, since i don't believe in lizard hitler. do
thugs of both camps meet at
the canteen and measure each other up? are
they going
to embrace mutual scam wholeheartedly? are
they going
to
try and undermine each other in subtle ways?
mircea_popescu: governance model, listen
to random indian go. "we" and "governance model".
mircea_popescu: "our core mission is
to shit on specified names. ha-ha."

mircea_popescu: it's hard
to keep people impressed when you got nothing.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 15:50 asciilifeform: sorta like
those centurions who
threw out
the armour, 'too heavy'
PeterL: the US does not declare war anymore,
they just start blowing stuff up. (last US declaration of war was WWII)
mircea_popescu: they want merkel
to be a military
target, best declare war
to germany first.
mircea_popescu: the real situation doesn't enter into
this,
the fictitious situation as presented by usg is
the basis.
mircea_popescu: as far as
the usg is concerned, germany is at peace, and moreover, an ally.
PeterL: or are
they part of
the general USG war on everything?
mircea_popescu: (and what would be
the definition of "rogue state" other
than
that ? "people we don't like" ?)
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is
the head of civilian government at peace "military
target"
mats: but
this distinction is also useless, so imma shut up
mats: merkel is military
target, imo
mats: anyways, i await next chapter of snowden-ru cooperation, where
they leak evidence of usg direct action against civilian nato
target
thestringpuller: mats: i'm cheap so yea. I guess
that's my future - "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i guess police are like dogs.
throw a bone in one direction, do activity in different direction.
mats: maybe your problem is
the amounts are
too small
thestringpuller: it's getting
to
that point :( never
thought I'd have
to have proxies for such an activity back in 2012
mats: you don't need
to be
there.
mats: pay a guy - pay
three. you worried about premiums or something?
mats: its unbelievable
to me
that your network is so small you can't orchestrate a btc purchase for cash
thestringpuller: you have a safe in your car.
they
take
the safe and let you keep on rolling.
thestringpuller: war on cash man. you have more
than 1 grand,
the police
take it. no questions.
thestringpuller: the police are
the ones who gonna roll up and be like "We want our cut!"
mats: set
the meet at a police station like most folks on craigslist with $expensive-item
thestringpuller: I'm like highly convinced someone is gonna roll up on us one day and just
take
the cash.
thestringpuller: Oh I do. I just have not found a way
to
transfer BTC
to cash and back without meeting someone in person.
mats: minimizing liabilities shoulda been one of
the first
things you learned here!
thestringpuller: mats: i'm actually more worried about going
to jail for buying bitcoin /w cash
than I am anything else I do
that's considered criminal activity.
mats: asciilifeform: if i'm remembering
these acronyms correctly,
that last
thing doesn't ave anything
to do with windows
thestringpuller: cuz instead of serving
time you pay your probation officer
thestringpuller: probably about
the
total cost of
the product
that was seized from him
thestringpuller: i guess prosecutor didn't want
to go up against an actual scientist...
