phf: presumably needed to "actually work"
asciilifeform: does a motherfucking blog engine need to weigh 1000s of lines of ???.
phf: though could probably use same nick matches as that's used in from:, so that $seen ascii will return last of many ascii_field, ascii_orc, ascii_butugychag ...
mircea_popescu: i dunno... you tell me ?
phf: by the way, what's wrong with current %seen?
asciilifeform: oodles of shell crapolade in there.
asciilifeform: i just downloaded, states quite clearly, that it runs strictly on plan9.
phf goes to setup wordpress
phf: i'm not even sure why i'm participating in this conversation, y'all just ranting over each other :>
mircea_popescu: what is this, "do what i dream" ?
phf: BingoBoingo: that one's missing browser integration
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: By the cat-v plan9 people
mircea_popescu: we're white, what. that's what it's for.
mircea_popescu: but hey, that's just me.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to the topic : the lot of you've got to be insane to opine on the matter without actually trying the set-up i declare to be happy with, which also carries the endless millions of trilemawords, longer than any codeball ever written.
asciilifeform: ah then normal adult man l0l
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bout the usual quart a week.
asciilifeform: sounds like mircea_popescu takes in more ethanol than water nao
mircea_popescu: today, tried the contents. pears delicious, the liquoir a bit strong. brewed fresh pot of coffee, added it in. OMFG best coffee ever.
asciilifeform: a rubbish blog gotta be augmentable from devices other than battlestation
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 01:32 mircea_popescu bought a coupla dozen, chopped them off, stuck in jars with clove, muskatnuss, a little alspice and about 3 bottles of cognac
asciilifeform: srsly what is so hard to understand.
mircea_popescu: trinque it's not as bad as it seems theoretically, on the grounds of apache being utter shit.
trinque: exactly that.
asciilifeform: what i want is to generate them ONCE, when EDITED.
trinque: they do this, then "caching" gets involved
trinque hated on the wiki recently; maybe I'll write a CL html generator sometime soon
asciilifeform: (e.g., spit rss for trinque's bot)
trinque: wtf is this "actually"
asciilifeform: not if you want it to actually work.
trinque: they're an afternoon tops
mircea_popescu: from this pov.
trinque: I tend to use static site generators
asciilifeform: probably but this is again the bmore house
mircea_popescu: on the upside you can prolly have emacs macro to properly handle image linkage if you have a fixed scheme
mircea_popescu: write markup by hand wtf barbarism is this
mircea_popescu: you can tell a shit language (html) by the fact that as it matures it goes back where it started from : infancy.
asciilifeform: it is probably what i'll end up doing, but it crosses over the worth-doing threshhold to wrong side.
mircea_popescu confesses to being tempted by such a scheme many times past, because that way the headers would be historically accurate.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: too much sweat per rubbish photo.
mircea_popescu: you can do it, all i use are like 5-6 tags.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform then just write straight html, what.
asciilifeform: would really like to dispense with the db crapolade.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, trinque, BingoBoingo, et al ^^ anyone have a counter-example handy ?
asciilifeform: just watching the js turds flicker.
asciilifeform: and normally you can even tell from 5 seconds! of looking at author's page.
asciilifeform: and realized that if i were starting first one today, would prolly have just given up.
asciilifeform: in other adventures, i made the mistake of trying to set up a 2nd bl0g, for rubbish
asciilifeform: a good chunk of gauss hasn't even been typeset yet (!)
asciilifeform: the arses, however, expand very slowly, to fit the chairs.
asciilifeform understands this quite well.
asciilifeform: where existing langs aren't even enough for the truly 1333333333337
asciilifeform: next phase is of course full-bore tolkien
mircea_popescu also defines the grammar of languages, eg. romanian. and then "alert reader" calls him on it, and mp says fuck you, language is codified by the languagemaker, the poet and the genius generally. which is me, not you. now fix those cookbooks and laundry lists you call "grammar books"
asciilifeform: selling chairs that ordinary man could put entire living room on
asciilifeform: only in the sense that a furniture store run by a giant is 'sinful'
asciilifeform: this isn't a sin peculiar to mircea_popescu either.
mircea_popescu: yes. who's to call me on it ?
asciilifeform: so, e.g., if you dun like taming scorpions, you ain't man
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu likes to roll all manners of particular mircea_popescuinities into concept of 'manhood'
mircea_popescu: howevert yuou state it, manhood can't be much of a talent.
asciilifeform: not everybody is a born animal trainer.
asciilifeform: question is the labour.
mircea_popescu: in other words, i don't believe manhood to be much of an innate talent. there'\s good arguments for the position.
mircea_popescu: it's deeply unclear to me the acrobat, rather than the stripped that comfortably dps, is at issue here.
asciilifeform has no pertinent recent data and will take mircea_popescu's word fo rit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bear in mind, however, that ~ANY woman can be trained to, eg, http://66.media.tumblr.com/9e19e1efb34b4219d13570f08d85a19f/tumblr_nv091t4hkt1uwpmxro1_400.gif
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform complex. pretty thin middle class in btc. people > 10k or <100 , broadly.
asciilifeform: you have to 'be someone'
asciilifeform: not in the sense those 88 cent cans of tuna have a cost.
asciilifeform: see, that was my contention, that the thing HAS NO COST
mircea_popescu: but yes, granted, the spot's not for everyone.
mircea_popescu: work that asshole!
mircea_popescu: i'd say high six figures in actual, liquid capital, should be sufficient. that's ~1k btc atm.
asciilifeform: (what is the cost of becoming a circus acrobat?)
asciilifeform: and the cost of ~getting~ in, even if physically possible, is not calculable in any straight manner.
asciilifeform: so for instance, upon first look it appears that 20-30mil u.s. will get you a simple 'bent pipe' launched into orbit, but then you notice that you gotta be in 3 different wots that asciilifeform isn't in.
mircea_popescu: your experiment will have to be re-done.
asciilifeform: again, the number is potentially $maxint, depending on how much of civilization you gotta rebuild in order to even play
mircea_popescu: well, let's have it, worry about that after.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-21 00:38 mircea_popescu: in the sense a luxury car is "100k" or a cellphone "1500". yeah, right, read the maintenance contracts.
asciilifeform: i could say a number but it will be misleading, for same reason as the private jet thread
mircea_popescu: what capital figure did you come up with as ther threshold ?
asciilifeform: ... conclusion being, ~other~ folks, with serious economic weight behind them, can and do indeed launch sats.
asciilifeform: whole experiment went precisely like my 'what would it take to launch a satellite' thing.
mircea_popescu: in principle a household should be capable to intake 500 lbs of freshly slaugthered pig and craft it into food supplies worth ~1 1/4 mn delicious calories
asciilifeform: cellar was not very large tho.
mircea_popescu: but - on the upside, teach girl to cure meats etc, loads of fun uber valuable skills.
deedbot: [Qntra] US Plagued By Tainted Flour - http://qntra.net/2016/07/us-plagued-by-tainted-flour/
asciilifeform: incidentally i factored in cost of NOT going to 'food depot' etc. and it is quite high.
asciilifeform: from them.
asciilifeform: and learn to breathe water.
asciilifeform: when i go sailing i will be sure to also ask her to pick up some fish so we can learn from them how.
mircea_popescu: gee whiz, what the fuck sense could it make to interact with the very subject of your interest!
mircea_popescu: and you wish to do the same. on your own terms, sure, but the point is - the same.
mircea_popescu: do they or don't they ?
mircea_popescu: local fauna lives there, amirite ?
asciilifeform: wtf do i need the local fauna for.
mircea_popescu: it's not yours to question why.
asciilifeform: and bear in the woods.
