ben_vulpes: *even* in the summer.
ben_vulpes: kinda obligatory in the summer for commuters due to the wacky climate dynamics in the area.
ben_vulpes: i mean raingear's a thing
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: 8.3 ish miles from the office
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: that's the best part
ben_vulpes: i moved out of the city!
ben_vulpes: but the rent and the move etc are just money

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.
pete_dushenski is fond of the micro onde
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*"

ben_vulpes: should one care to.
ben_vulpes: os reinstalls are trivial.

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: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506866 << i guess i don't subscribe to the theory of server scarcity. at least not any more than the theory of global food scarcity. if server only does one thing for one man, so be it. ☝︎
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. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: http://www.lse.ac.uk/economicHistory/workingPapers/2016/WP249.pdf << "The results indicate 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 today, the implications are that costly investments in specialized human capital resources might be
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron not really that hard to do afaik
trinque: danielpbarron: cell phone's still a radio beacon at a particular place even if it's lying to whatever API
thestringpuller: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/15On
shinohai: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/15Om
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.
mircea_popescu: shinohai in theory. in practice, no.
shinohai: http://archive.is/YwpPu <<< this is just autism, plain and simple.
shinohai: thx trinque
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"
asciilifeform: i liked the stakes.
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: it's a tv show. like the price is right and jeopardy.
mircea_popescu: but this is in no sense a film
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 ?
asciilifeform: so which of these did mircea_popescu see 1.5 of ?
mircea_popescu: ie, they made it into 4 parts.
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.
asciilifeform: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064785 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072021 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128378 . that makes 3
mircea_popescu: what did you like anyway, the costumes ?
mircea_popescu: fucking bond extras thinking themselves actresses wtf is this.
mircea_popescu: yeah. well i only managed to get through ~1.5
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did you even see same thing i saw ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 00:43 asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu re: http://trilema.com/2016/sobieski-si-romanii , didja ever see mega-film 'ogniem i mieczem' ?
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.
mircea_popescu: and teh parallel with http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1506568 ☝︎
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.
mircea_popescu: put wireshark on, see what the difference is.
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
mircea_popescu: guy's some brit though neh ?
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 also a large part of why i even bother with trilema, otherwise i could just put up a page consisting of http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/penis.jpg
asciilifeform: (nobody ever beat these for chem)
mircea_popescu: it's the fundamental reason "correspondence" even exists as a thing in science.
asciilifeform: i've experimented with playing protein structures, yes, through sound card.
mircea_popescu: and, to all unstubborn engineers and others present : when encountering a difficult problem, do try and EXPLAIN IT. in writing.
asciilifeform: 'the data' is not strictly defined, nor the instrument with which to look productively - raster display, or teletype, or play it through the sound card (i sometimes do...)
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.
asciilifeform: granted, it is difficult to avoid doing this, mentally, on occasion - when dealing with, e.g., vsepr
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's assertion that 'you ought to take the benzyl ring and look at the bits of the jpeg'
asciilifeform: PeterL: the zoom levels item.
mircea_popescu: but you're discussing something that is entirely unrelated to what we were discussing.
asciilifeform: discussing idempotence of the parts.
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
asciilifeform: so they are same.
asciilifeform: if you heat the thing to 5000K and they come out, they will be same as any other proton.
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?
