phf: ben_vulpes: like clockwork. i will do
the
tmsr
thing and claim
that wreckers are blackholing
teh server
ben_vulpes: "There's a possibility
they may not be
the only ones
that are doing
this, but right now we feel if
they are
the only ones
that are doing
this, with
this arrest we hope we will be able
to curb
the amount of
thefts occurring," said Woods. << quote i'd meant
to drop last night re
the carlol
trinque: 230 lines now with maybe 100 of
that being nickserv logic I haven't deleted yet
trinque: broke all
the code for
the commands into
their own
thing which interacts with
the db
trinque: the
thing just establishes a connection and shits messages into db, reads messages
to send from db
trinque: all problems mine has involve
the various nickserv states; sasl auth solves
that
trinque: asciilifeform: I mean perfect in
the latter sense
trinque: relatedly I've read cl-irc and
the
thing is a haphazard mess
trinque: right now after I issue AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
the
thing
times out
trinque: if I can get sasl
to work I will have an afaik perfect bot
jurov: yea, no
two C++people can agree on common string implementation.
BingoBoingo: Pretty much
the only reason any Americans still have "their" cars appears
to be
that
their cars suck
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Usually mounted
to
truck frame under
truck bed, or inside
truck bed. Instead of
toolboxes composing sides of bed as on "friendly"
tows, most repos no have factory bed of lookalike
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: repo
tends
to have business end hidden and quickly self loads vehicle onto carriage.
mircea_popescu: i was just
trying
to get BingoBoingo 's links and noticed.
mircea_popescu: so i
think i invented a new cocktail. you cut up a fresh ripple pineapple, into small chunks. you pour an inch of fine cognac into an old style whiskey glass. you proceed
to dip
the chunks and eat
them.
mircea_popescu: in which sense, while mediatory strategies exist, working
through modifying
the environment -
the fact
that it needs modifying has not been resolved ; and so
the genotype is still shitty.
mircea_popescu: it can't mean anything more/above
that ;
there's no absolute shitty.
mircea_popescu: "shitty" in
this context strictly means "inadequate
to current circumstance"
mircea_popescu: what's
the mechanism for allergies ? shitty immune system. how about autism ? etc.
mircea_popescu: the reason is
that nature explores in
the male not in
the female ; and consequently
there's much more variance in
the male
than in
the female ; and because
they're all kept alive...
mircea_popescu: note
that it's VASTLY a more common problem for boys, and ~in civilsiation~
than it is for girls.
mircea_popescu: which is dangerous, because if she's picked as well as orwell's dumb whore of a mother picked,
the derp won't even
try it he sucks so bad.
mircea_popescu: her intent is
that if she manages, your father won't have
to kill you.
mircea_popescu: what's
the intent of your mother
teaching you
to not piss
the bed ?
mircea_popescu: have you been brainwashed into disbelieving
there's as many points in a line as in a plane ?
mircea_popescu: eventually a "king's representative" showed up, and
this event marks
the end of
the classical period, and
the start of
the modern, ie decay.
mircea_popescu: more
to
the point,
the "classical village" is an entity
that survived fine with a dazzling array of law and regulation
that a) exceeds in complexity modern codes and b) was entirely oral in nature while at
the same
time having... no police. at all, i mean. none. zip.
mircea_popescu: but go ahead, illustrate
this difference between "a state" and "a church", i'm all ears.
mircea_popescu: then again i spent some
time dripping wax on bare
tits in 5 century old euro churches, also.
mircea_popescu: the difference between "don't ever fuck a girl in
this building, nor drip candle wax on her bare
tits while she kneels on
this particular wood plank" is no different from "don't call fat people niggers and don't park where
that drawing is"
mircea_popescu: no, in
the sense of any ethics (ie, an attempt
to implement morals) is equal
to any other.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the church-state difference is entirely hallucinatory in nature.
mircea_popescu: but
the problem is
that even here
the republic wins :
the
tax it collects is an optimum on
the capital allocation curve
mircea_popescu: this is important. qualitatively it is exactly as much a state as any usg flavour.
the discussion may be carried in quantitative
terms,
mircea_popescu: the republic manages
to extract
tax without a
tax extractor.
mircea_popescu: let's carry
the discussion in
terms of
tax, always and everywhere
the most nevralgic point of
the statal model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mno. law can exist without "law enforcement".
to equate
the
two is very much part of
the statal delusion.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to what
the state likes
to claim, it is always "law enforcement"
that creates "the criminal element" ; never
the other way around. first
there was a police,
then
there was a "law breaker"
mircea_popescu: ie, what street
toughs will
there be once
there's no policemen ?
mircea_popescu: in general
tehnologeala weakens
the consumer ; advantages
the gangster. except of course in practice it works
to split
the gangster into levels of consumerism.
mircea_popescu: can't say i'm entirely opposed
to
the idea.
then i can just log into facebook backend, direct selected womenz
to preferred fuckpad ?
mircea_popescu: "this is a car sold without
the intent of its owner".
to answer
the perennial
tyre-kicking question of "so why're you selling it"
mircea_popescu: so frequent in fact
the manufacturers introduced a special category of "not new, but as-new"
to cover for it.
mircea_popescu: i used
to regularly humiliate
them for
their sheer ignorance, back in
the days i almost cared.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's an academy. it is very much vessenes-style ; and always has been.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, not most of
them, because intelligent people are lazy and cowardly.
mircea_popescu: (in other lulz : ro admits both
technologie and
technologeala as imports for "technology".
the first is commonly used ;
the latter is a portmanteau of
tech and ologeala, which is
the noun describing
the "fact of having been made olog, ie, unable
to walk". quite appropriately.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good
thing
they "solved"
the old mechanical lock problems
then huh! viva progess &
technology.
mircea_popescu: in other news holy shit ffmpeg is a fine example of how not
to do a -h switch. it overruns default
terminal buffer!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's your call, because
the matter is quite acute : is it a safer system
to demand 8kb entropy/second and hash 12
times ? or
to demand say 128bytes/second and hash 768
times ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: nevertheless, as long as
the input isn't actually fucking 0... maybe urandom can survive with
this.
mircea_popescu: if we actually go with a 12-pass hashing method,
this
then will require > 8kb of entropy/second from
the client, which isn't possibru without dedicated rng fountain.
