ben_vulpes: kinda obligatory in
the summer for commuters due
to
the wacky climate dynamics in
the area.
ben_vulpes: plus
the american flags and crosses and big pickups
tend
to scare
the hipsters away.
ben_vulpes: quite idyllic, and far enough out
that people whose egos are
tied up in
ben_vulpes: i saw a few vancouver rentals
this weekend
pete_dushenski: it just... isn't
the culture here. pickings are slim as shit.
ben_vulpes: but
the rent and
the move etc are just money
ben_vulpes: here
there's another good one with
the hockey players
pete_dushenski: i'm content with a few hot meals a week,
the rest, i scavenge. makes
the hot meals all
the better.
ben_vulpes: i have a live in chef for food, and my own
two hands for servers.
ben_vulpes: i mean yeah, it's a microwave,
to continue
the cooking metaphor.
pete_dushenski: i've had no issues with cpanel in
the past, nor is 'cpanel doesn't unglue without reformatting' a cause
to abandon it in my book
ben_vulpes: looks like you 'just want
to' server stats from here.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i'm still not sure i see
the angle but it's probably fair
to blame my own ignorance on
the subject
ben_vulpes: "nah it's fine, i'll just have
the shit-cooking kitchen *over
there*"

the initial ipv4 probing off of
that. didn't run any i/o etc benchmarks
tho. any particular questions (i can run some benchmark if you want)
ben_vulpes: and whoever said scarce, or anything like
that.
ben_vulpes: feel free
to boil shit in gutter oil in your own kitchen.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 04:07 ben_vulpes: go,
try
to remove cpanel from a machine.
pete_dushenski: less important
than incentives for creativity, flexibility, and
the ability
to make incremental adjustments
that can
transform existing
technologies into inventions
that are appropriate for prevailing domestic conditions." << basically get
the govn't out of
the way and que sera sera,
the meat will be what it'll be.

that scientists, engineers or
technicians were not well-represented among
the British great inventors, and
their contributions remained unspecialized until very late in
the nineteenth century. For developing countries

the implications are

trinque: danielpbarron: cell phone's still a radio beacon at a particular place even if it's lying
to whatever API
danielpbarron: and in other channels news >> Clash> I spoof my phone's location
to manipulate Pokemon Go. << nifty idea huh? I don't know
the game well enough but it sounds like someone could rile up a lot of feathers if
they
took
this concept
to
the extreme
mircea_popescu: shit dun work, but it's all
they know how
to do, so it's all
they're doing. "should be good enough".
mircea_popescu: and no, it's not autism,
they're hatching
the cornel derp as "expert" for
teh future.
mircea_popescu: in any case, we're way
the fuck better off with you putting in
the medium-skilled 100s of hours
to get
this working ; and
then gradually improving on
that basis -
than
to wait for someone
to put in
the 10`000s of hours of very highly qualified work
to replace lamp&all.
trinque: minus
the part where you install
the wordpress apt package
shinohai: mircea_popescu: re: wordpress so is
there a better way
to do all
this
than
the lamp behemoth ?
mircea_popescu: if i ran a culture of cinema phd programme i'd spend a few hours with
that
thing.
mircea_popescu: one of
the very best offerings in comparative cinematography, btw, is imo
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1422122/ ; a collection of 5 or so shorts - coupla of which made by exceptional directors, which shows ;
the rest made by inept derps (hanno hofer worst of
the lot), and
they look exactly like "someone filmed 80 30second ad clips and spliced
them
together)
mircea_popescu: fetishism, you understand me ? "i like
this book because of
the way capital letters are drawn at beginning of paragraph"
mircea_popescu: anyways. ima just mark down
that you really liked
the hats an' move on.
mircea_popescu: i suppose "rzeczpospolita" may substitute for
the perverse ?
mircea_popescu: like porn, exactly. except without
the redeeming value of cunt.
mircea_popescu: i mean it's vignettes of no internal sense, designed
to appeal
to
the emotional brain of middle aged women, strewn
together by no glue other
than
the happenstance of having been so presented.
mircea_popescu: i managed
to crawl up
to
the part where
the weird woman reads auspices in water wheel.
mircea_popescu: tho it starts and ends with credits, so im guessing prolly stolen from some polish
tv ?
mircea_popescu: wtf was with
that guy,
there's a montage worth a good 10 minutes of him gurning meaninglessly at
the [mostly burning] scenery
mircea_popescu: 4th starts wqith scene of ilsa in shot with
the bizarro "witch" woman (typical
televisa shot, both face
the camera, because
totally
this is how people interact) ; ends with balcony scene of
the obnoxious derp + ilsa wedding.
mircea_popescu: fucking bond extras
thinking
themselves actresses wtf is
this.
mircea_popescu: oh and speaking of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-18#1504500 : so i was scammed into watching A
TV SHOW. not substantially different from "pride and prejudice"/random
televisa production. lotta spurious "interpersonal relations" shots without much logic interspersed with meaningless "warfare" shots without much logic.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 23:51 mircea_popescu: at
this point, project either delivers and is done or
takes on life of own. if
takes on life,
then 3. more wizards are added,
they slowly asm-ify
the loops, inside out.
trinque: teh parallel with "look at
the data!!" from earlier vs "UI" as styled high-level API
mircea_popescu: alternatively, send
telnet/curl raw like sane ppl. wtf is postman.
jurov: it can be caused by millionc possible
things
thestringpuller: SOAPUI gets
the correct response, postman causes 500 error
thestringpuller: so i copy a raw
http request from soapui, i put it into
the raw section of postman
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 23:22 mats: oh wait,
these are fictional huh
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1506525 << it's not fiction,
the facts are sourced,
the interpretation
that bey puts on
them is his own
though and i feel like he often stretches it
to keep
the narrative consistent with
the "utopias" part of his premise
☝︎ phf: i haven't seen one of
those since russia
though. or maybe i brought it with my old computer, but strange i probably would've kept it.
phf: i
think i might've had a cyrillic keyboard at some point. fwiw
they are usually dual labeled, e.g. on Q you're also going
to have a smaller Й somewhere on
the side
mircea_popescu: it's
the fundamental reason "correspondence" even exists as a
thing in science.
mircea_popescu: and,
to all unstubborn engineers and others present : when encountering a difficult problem, do
try and EXPLAIN IT. in writing.
mircea_popescu: what i said was
that a) ultimately all data is in point of fact data, and unless you're fucking around you will wish
to look at
the data ; b)
that "Saving
time" is only useful
to people in a hurry ; and people
thinking are seldomly in a hurry. rather
than play with a desk weight while i
try
to comprehend x item, i might as well longhand its structure.
mircea_popescu: but you're discussing something
that is entirely unrelated
to what we were discussing.
PeterL: what does
that have
to do with graphical/alphabetic notations?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> if you heat
the
thing
to 5000K and
they come out << dude... gohead cancer
to 500k. wtf is with you.
PeterL: they have
the potential
to be
the same, right now
they are different
PeterL: OK, but still,
there are differing protons. Not all are
the same, just like not all keys on
the keyboard are
the same, is
that
the metaphor you were going for?
