mircea_popescu: because the debuggee keeps dying, which results in gdb apparently taking water.
mircea_popescu: i can't be the first person to run gdb over multi-week stretches.
mircea_popescu: aaand apparently my gdb has a memory leak. what the fuck.
mircea_popescu: actually i'd say they're a standard sui generis, "if you're going to distribute binaries, at least do them as well as nvidia"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, if it makes you feel better, the nvidia binaries of late are absolutely rock solid, i never ever had a problem ; moreover they even fix shitty apt-get messes.
mircea_popescu: ie, the video card problem is mostly solved, large stocks exist, getting some chips pried open would be useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is the death of moore bit them in the ass too. i am very happy with 10year old cards as it is. and even when i buy "new", i buy old ones.
mircea_popescu: after all, industrialized intolerance is how i made my living, back in the day.
mircea_popescu: phf i also cultivate it deliberately, because i believe it is (in my case, not necessarily for everyone) a most valuable skill.
mircea_popescu: but as you were typing that, i was thinking "We fucking need an expert gfx card wizard to debinary that shit already"
mircea_popescu: i cheat ; as per alf "is a toilet" magics, i just use nvidia's binaries.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess. it is called a ~damage~ file after all, rite.
mircea_popescu: i'll note that everthying the republicans deliver builds like a fucking charm, be it ffa, avetronics or what have you. i've never had a problem of this sort inside the walls.
mircea_popescu: i do not pose as expert gymnast in any sense ; and yes this caliber turd is somewhat common in unixworld altogether. but still, holy hell, fucking gymnastics.
mircea_popescu: so something like "no significant gymnastics needed by olympic gymnast" ?
mircea_popescu: and two years ago, how long did it take you to get the wheels to spin ?
mircea_popescu: (none of this is spurious dicking about, either. we're going to end up needing both some sort of standard of ok-ness on one hand ; and specifically in the case of X it's like, the one looming mysql-esque cuntoo wrecker)
mircea_popescu: ok, but specifically x is exactly the mess of improbable libraries etc. have you pkgsrc'd it recently anywhere ?
mircea_popescu: for that matter, apple wants to take advantage of tmsr-style release, let them get in l1. but even before that, it's so shocking to me alf would accept a binary from "bintray.com" as some sort of item.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but, again, there's no room for this "on windows, we use autoupdate", "on mac we distribute binaries", "in india we shit in the street" w/e. hence the girl old ipad comment.
mircea_popescu: i read "substantial gymnastics" in the sense of, needed to c) above.
mircea_popescu: let's put it this way : should i double click that on an apple, i'd find a bundle so that a) if i exclude all non-text files i can then b) use at least one specified version of a compiler chain i can build in same manner so as to c) produce object files which then d) run on my system.
mircea_popescu: phf and that thing is a pile of software which compiles with a chain of my choice into a functional x for a target (apple) system of my choice ?
mircea_popescu is too lazy to burn the dmg, and discover the ten trillion subtle breakages each of which thoroughly suffices to sink the proposed argument.
mircea_popescu: "installs" can NOT mean "use apple appstore". it must mean something in my hand.
mircea_popescu: phf it's a legitimate pov, seriously now. why should i have to follow the (closed source! very tenuous! and burdensome!) process apple chose ?
mircea_popescu: alf to pet "your snatch has no use outside of my house" pet retorts "usure ?"
mircea_popescu: much in the vein of giancarlo giannini calls mariangela melato "cretina!" and the imbecile translator regales his eager public with "you stupid bitch!". because totally, "cretin!" is not a thing in english.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but that's the fashionable thing, ever since "our brave boys in uniform" came back, erryone's permitted to go about pretending as if they have some kind of business.
mircea_popescu: and also the "oh but mp, that's not the EXACT specific narrowly defined line" isn't permissible either. a "doctor" who can't equalize a molar transform is no fuckinfg doctor, i don't care how he thinks chemistry "is not properly part of doctorhood"
mircea_popescu: yes, teh republic is un poco carente in the commercial lines ; nevertheless the epsilon here far exceeds the zero there.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but those are mostly hoping to social mobilitize. at least going to inca capital for it makes some sens.e

mircea_popescu: briefly thought about doing something about it... but then, i think i'd rather just wait for PeterL to move or w/e.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah ah. if vanished on own power let him complain.
mircea_popescu: we've just been supplying the string because tradition, or dunno. i suppose much like venetian merchants dressed the house pets. dun mean naked woman about the house is a bug (even though the 80s retard, before i/we came about and fucked their "trtaditions" right in the ass, would have suspected such_
mircea_popescu: some people are very much into the 16yos they tow about ; but in general speaking fuckers should just be shot.
mircea_popescu: Mocky better go out of crazy season anyway, i know of no place that benefits from heavy tourist load.
mircea_popescu: kinda how i fly. used to have old world all mapped out, "and here';s the schnitzel place we stop for in frankfurt, and here's the,..."
mircea_popescu: problem with wood is that it's too friable. they basically made metal from parts.
mircea_popescu: if this were true, korea'd have won some war at some point in its history.
mircea_popescu: the cult of safety is the enemy of safety. like all other inca products.
mircea_popescu: this rapidly escalates into a "what does it mean to program".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman neither of those are it, i guess ima embark on a re-read expedition, it's discussed somewhere 2015ish pretty sure
mircea_popescu: but i suspect it's in the vein of "a lot of the utility of sledgehammer comes from there being all these abandoned warehouses to loot" "well... how about you organised things better, then no sledgehammers"
mircea_popescu: in fact, a lot of the utility of pipe (and with it, a lot of the utility of unix altogether) comes from it being, fundamentally, a loosely specified scripting lang.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it';s a recurring problem though, recall the "url length hacks" endemic throughout web age ?
mircea_popescu: i've been thinking a lot about this since discussions re how mining bot should be configured in eulora.
