mircea_popescu: the "standard
tank shell" is not "the standard shell" for
this exact reason.
mircea_popescu: mno. EITHER "the standard library" is not
the standard library ; or ELSE your mips is a chunk of charcoal and you've got down syndrome
to be
trying
to program on it.
mircea_popescu: that phrase should immediately reduce
to "your item is stupid and you're dumb for working on it"
mircea_popescu: in any fucking case, "here's
the standard - it doesn't work for yout item" is rank nonsense, and
the paragon of anti-utility.

the point, as
these are both industrial processes. anyway.

to some points of interest - "the meat should be between some sort of bread".

PeterL: what I mean is
the french have
the academy
trying
to specify
their language
mircea_popescu: does not. french is specifically
the one culture language which does not have a normative, academy-produced dictionary.,
PeterL: French dictionary
tries
to be a standard
mircea_popescu: this difference is important, and apparently not much understood
through normal schooling.
mircea_popescu: still. when we discuss language -
the alphabet is
the only standard.
the dictionary is not a standard ; nor aspires
to be a standard.
mircea_popescu: a standard for 1 inch nut does not a) specify material b) enter into considerations of what levers
to push on what
type of cnc mill
mircea_popescu: thinking
the dictionary "a standard" is exactly
the level of ignorance one displays
thinking "the blue earth internet icon"
mircea_popescu: not so.
the fucking alphabet is
the only human lang standard.
mircea_popescu: "this
text is non-compliant, dictionary
translation makes no sense" - wrong
mircea_popescu: "this
text is non-compliant, replace letter ? with a proper letter and resubmit" - right
mircea_popescu: do
tell, how are you richer
than your father, and his father, when his reservoir was full and yours is empty ?
mircea_popescu: yet modern idiot fancies himself much more intelligent
than anyone who ever lived ; and better informed, and "progressed".
mircea_popescu: somehow
the small alphabet in which one can actually write - is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
the much worse point of
this is - WHAT

the fuck standard is
this standard, utf-standard,
the antistandard.
ben_vulpes: thanks phf, i used shinohai's dump as i didn't realize

the item i) except it's unclear exactly who exactly how and
to what exact purpose or standard"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being : "a) here is a package of open source software
that b) worked great c) for a lengthy, unclear and unverifyable past interval d) maintained by an intelligent but dour and otherwise busy party
that e) is well respected but no longer much involved f) yet you could ask q of
them if only you could find out how
to ask an intelligent one g) which is pointless anyway because you can't make much sense of
the
mircea_popescu: check it out, we managed
to replicate in vitro ALL OF FOSS
phf: ben_vulpes: i have a patchset,
that
takes wp from stock 2.7
to mircea_popescu's version, and
then adds a few cleanups
that i did. once i get

the stock->mp patch is useful if you want
to do further work on
the codebase and have some idea where mp's custom patches begin and end

the idiot'd
take it at face value and kill
the other person ?

tidy sourceball,
