them
to improve maintainability" etc.
phf: "contributor

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1506567 << i've been going
through
that exercise with code recently, where
the original developer abandoned
the project and
there's a new maintainer.
the exercise is

☝︎ mircea_popescu: damn, i
thought it was
the black knight always
triumphs.
mircea_popescu: who in his right mind would close a hole in
teh mit budget ? by all means, let
them succeed and keep on succeeding, like
they've won
the war in
the middle east.
mircea_popescu: you're wide open, in a security sense, because of
this notion of cleanliness.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the boat issue goes way
the fuck deeper
than you realise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh what do i care what
they do.
the idea here is "o look, a scamcoin nobody holds managed
to hardfork.
this is about as relevant
to bitcoin as guy soiling his pants and
then washing
them in
the sink. I AM ROVER GER AND I
THINK ITS
TIME FOR BITCOIN
TO! "
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i used
to read amanda b johnson. But she is more for
the children I
think.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well no one bothered
to actually hold any of
the
tokens, either, so...
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller rotate
the lolcow ? preferably
towards something with
tits ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: Reading involves comprehension. I merely glance over it for lulz. I invest more focus on reading my comic books
than Ver.
phf: Framedragger: re ipython you could probably avoid all
the discussions about right and wrong by simply doing and
then presenting
the result
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you realise you're about
the only reader ver actually has ?
thestringpuller: Never
though Ethereum would become more scandalous
than paycoin.
thestringpuller: nope. it was all staged
to act as fud
to get Bitcoin
to hardfork while creating FED-chain.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i don't like posting reddit links as not
to infect
the channel
thestringpuller: the ethereum hard fork is making
the VER-ified crowd go wild.
mircea_popescu: all
the machining i ever had done was presented in essay form.
mircea_popescu: but
then again stop fucking pushingyour doodles on other people.
they are
the exact equivalent of used condoms.
mircea_popescu: it may not be
the most convenient format for doodling,
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, i'm not underwriting
the eventual wreck.
mircea_popescu: if not, why not and what does
this say about his mental organisation.
mircea_popescu: but
the point is : literacy is a skill not a blessing. does
this architect know how
to present
the
tree IN PROPERLY SORTED ORDER ?
mircea_popescu: you'd be surprised how much you find about an architect with
this simple process.
mircea_popescu: most all of
them reached for
the paper, which i wouldn't give back.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i used
to pick architects by
the criterion : "nice plan, now
tell it
to me".
mircea_popescu: your head works principally when its
tendency
to disregard natural complexity is well supported.
mircea_popescu: and i knew i failed within minutes specifiucally because not using
the fucking pictures.
mircea_popescu: "from organic chemistry
take an item
that is with carbons linked like so, where * can be anything ie free radical and = at
the end links back
to origin"
mircea_popescu: i find
that especially in organic chemistry
the drawings are counterproductive.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile : i want a
tag
to
turn numbers into images ; which i arbitrarily call svg ; and i want a
tag
to
turn strings into scientific notation (which does not JUST mean math, i want chemistry also.)
mircea_popescu: so i guess you can have a fat 8 lines of buttons in
the mp-wp
thing ; and i'll continue
to
type
tags in directly.
