pete_dushenski: this daylight
theft wrapped up as 'transparencee' caters directly
to
teh aspie crowd,
the kind who fancies himself genre savvy without really being so.
the victim of 'taught controversy', if you will.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dubious if it's worth
the hassle, which is ~why i never seriously pursued it.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 15:57 mircea_popescu: if anyone wants
the project, can be (probably SHOULD be) implemented as pure html, just a form.

there for a reason. significantly smaller codebases and attack surfaces cf. wordpress. just sayin'.

to play in
the wrong sandbox? Ok.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503180 << let it be said
that if you wander into
the courthouse one day and staple an invitation
to your hipster fair / recruitment drive on
the judge's face he'll whack you once and if
that doesn't do it you'll spend
the next month in county jail
thinking
things
through. it's a
thing,
there's a hierarchy in realia, which obviously isn't obligatory
to dreamers - up until
the dog comes.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: you are not in
the demo even vaguely. ipad games are for millenials. kids of a very peculiar plato's cave upbringing. kids
that never killed an animal with
their own hands ;
that never ran until
they lost balance,
that never fought with
the boys or pulled
the girl's hair an' skirts.
mircea_popescu: people have "fun"
through sheer confusion. plus
they're never done playing.
mircea_popescu: the ~only successful ipad mmorpgs consist of exactly
this : make 500 minigames loosely bunched
together in a "daily activity meter" list of rewards,
mircea_popescu: it's already here : raise your shitcoin holdings
to whatever power you feel like and
then multiply
the result by zero
to find out how much value you're holding.
mircea_popescu: all
these in
the spirit of cixi's
too loud
train : "water abhors metal recipients"
mircea_popescu: yeah, but
the main problem is
that
the african/pacific islander notion of "water" precludes hydraulics for a number of solidly good reasons a few derivations prior.
mircea_popescu: it's
the case amoeba in an agar fell upon some grains of sugar and are now
taking
their approximate shape, as perceived by amoebic senses
mircea_popescu: you understand
this ? it's not
the case of a person making design decisions on some basis leading
to some results.
mircea_popescu: because
they don't even VAGUELY understand wtf
they're doing
mircea_popescu: but imo odds are yet another replacement group will show up.
the notion of coallition success is ridiculous,
the arabs are just wearing
them down, exact same way
they did
to
the french in north africa a century ago.

BingoBoingo: I'm not sure
they *need*
the Levant if
they have France
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 06:46 mats: and
they don't have planes
BingoBoingo: More on
the new surveillance revolution "This app [poke-a-man Go] did in 24 hours what Michelle Obama couldn’t do in eight years. It gets kids off
the couch and moving."
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: When I find one
that seems
to have
this it draws
the not unimportant criticism
that it requires
the whole Plan 9 userspace
jurov: one step at a
time, i guess
Framedragger: but at
this point im more interested
to
try my hand at 'p2p/federated content system', a la mp's e2e encrypted generalized forum idea, whatever
this resolves
to in
the particular.
Framedragger: i guess
the only way
to convince people would be
to present a working PoC with working spam mitigation, hm.
jurov: and
then you decide you want
to store metadata for comments,
that means moar files or some gnarly file format :)
Framedragger: each comment saved as separate file,
to be removed etc using normal system
tools; any modifcation under
tree
triggers static content regeneration
jurov: and
then you want
to remove some spam and edit "current comments" file in place?
Framedragger: i'm amused
that it's hard
to find something like
this, i.e. static generator _and_ a comment handler component
Framedragger: (maybe i just described a spec
that i should one day implement, heh)
Framedragger: jurov:
that, of course, is a problem. but surely "everything dynamic or everything static & no comments" is a false dichotomy? could you not have an html form which POSTs
to a separate dynamic handler which is only responsible for comments? a "current comments" static html page is generated upon every new approved comment, etc.

trilema
mats: i expect coalition forces

☟︎ mats: and

☟︎ mats: ~40% according
to some
mats: not sure if you've been following, but
they've lost a lot of
territory recently
mats: and
then
the subsequent IS resurgence
mats: i look forward
to reading about
the ensuing power struggle after IS gets squashed
BingoBoingo: What a coinidence
the next generation of smartphone surveillance would direct users
to places mircea_popescu lived!
mircea_popescu: (Πιστεύομεν εἰς ἕνα Θεόν, Πατέρα, Παντοκράτορα for
teh curious.)
mircea_popescu: soviets fell because ran out of cars. i was
there when
they did. i will be
there when
these re-soviets will.
BingoBoingo: Who knows? But it would probably enjoy
the brown guy who would not be having
the
time of his life.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 21:27 asciilifeform: soviet sphere quite certainly did not fall because su (or ro, or any) police ran out of cars
to burn. but because gorbachev wanted his flat in manhattan.
trinque: woah, is
that stray
toilet paper in uh... "front" ?
trinque: I see a european ass in
the air and a brown guy having
the
time of his life
BingoBoingo: “Pokemon Go
to
the Polls" - Clitler July 14th, 2016
BingoBoingo: So even
though
the weather has been objectively worse here
this week
than last, I have observed a sharp increase in
the number of
transmayos walking and biking outside while glued
to
their smartphones.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 02:37 mod6: As far as
the "V Mirror"
thing,
that I know alf hates, I move forward on
the basis
that one doesn't have
to use it, even
though it is
there.
This may not be ideal, but it's bridge between both "easy" and "manual"
