mod6: asciilifeform BingoBoingo : Can you guys address Mr. Popescu's request above here ^. I haven't the slightest idea on that stuff.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 14:38 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will also nitpick : 'erlang' does not belong in the list, it was a 1980s product that worked quite well in its industrial niche (large telco switches) but was later stolen and used as a totem by the folx from yesterday's thread ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633873 )
a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 14:50 asciilifeform: trinque: erlang wasn't simply about 'uptime', or even 'no pointer arithmetic', it also was the only case i know of where process migration actually worked
mircea_popescu: if i had to guess, perl.
asciilifeform: point upstack being, 100% of what i've touched with own hands of 'adult' heavy equip without microshit or systemd etc in it somewhere, was 1980s vintage or earlier.
trinque: poor guy. I had the good fortune to watch half a hardware startup get laid off at 16.
asciilifeform: if i had known that the real problem is the win95 that runs in natotards' ~heads~, would have saved coupla yrs of life and be somewhat less poor nao...
asciilifeform: sadly enuff i've personally used a $1mil mass spec with win95 on it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no, i know, to my grief
a111: Logged on 2014-11-26 04:23 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at one point i needed some conductive cloth (the kind with silver strands) for an experiment. to my great surprise, i discovered that there is a large manufacturer in usa, and they do brisk business with folks suffering from precisely the kind of phobia described in decimation's link.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-15 17:58 asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop'
asciilifeform: lulzily i documented this in the past , in http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-03#1260586 , http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-15#1406177 ☝︎☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 20:03 asciilifeform: the only reason i even use lulazon for anyffing, 'pay 80bux/y and the rest of the yr can order 3 m3 screws and two metres of #10 copper shipped sameday for 0 extra' etc
mircea_popescu: what, i guessed ?
ben_vulpes: eyy, anyone want to guess what i found in the toothpaste?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i get to read, you realise, the A papers of contemporary valedictorians and whatnot. the incas' brightest and bravest, career women to the last soul and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: how do you think i came up with it.
mircea_popescu: oh, i know.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you should try this 'riddle' on fresh off the boat usian gurlz, btw. i shit thee not, they dun teach the 'times table' nomoar
mircea_popescu: "if everything's uncomputably large then therefore i no longer have to be able to say 7 * 69 = 483 within a second or so"
asciilifeform: this goes even for the asian industrial titans. last i knew, chinese ic fabs still were using gear from siemens etc
asciilifeform: the unfortunate bit tho is that industrial production (not even speaking of laboratory experimentation) is agonizingly centralized; if i had to set up FG production in bananistan, would prolly still be stuck sourcing resistors, and tearing out hair, like kurt tank in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839406 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 21:01 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: astronomical rents, i suspect, also play a part. it is ~impossible to stay open if you stock anything that doesn't move continuously. specialist shops are the first to die.
asciilifeform: the only reason i even use lulazon for anyffing, 'pay 80bux/y and the rest of the yr can order 3 m3 screws and two metres of #10 copper shipped sameday for 0 extra' etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: obviously people bake in the cost of their peripheral-ness in their price judgements, which is why i'm willing to pay 10 bux a pound for cherries here, whereas in romania they're ~free for the picking.
asciilifeform: i dun expect it'll add up to financing-anyffing
asciilifeform: painful to think on what most petrol in usa is used. i suspect -- this.
asciilifeform: there's a d00d on my street who goes on, i shit thee not, 10 minute long car trips. 8 or so times in a day. ( i think, to buy mcfood ) but just picture this .
mircea_popescu: i suppose the best illustration for this problem is ye olde bullet. as proper a quanta of civilisation as one might ever pick.
asciilifeform: hey i have nfi what is this mythical 'perfectability', on my home planet we have 'горбатого могила исправит' instead
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 18:05 asciilifeform: revisiting upthread : if mircea_popescu , or even say wykeham professor of logic , tells me 'yer a tard, problem is very simple' i'ma yes, nod, and not try to somehow argue that not. but it dun magically grow asciilifeform moar brain, can only go and think, and possibly one day think out of paper bag, how else.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 17:43 mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, "it makes me so nervous but i trust you" explains the difference -- slave's well advantaged wrt zek. who's a zek to trust, he's supposed to be something entirely else.
asciilifeform: re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-20#1843083 item, i suspect it is same general psychopathology as prisoners who bang their heads, blow up own feet with blasting caps, etc to get a stint in hospital as break from butugychag uranium vein tunnel, 'care' from medics, etc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: right. i pick heuristically rather than systematically.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: frederick's men were likewise free of sr-90 in bones, and corn syrop fat, and 9000+ else. i have nfi specifically what to pin whichever diff on, therefore.
asciilifeform: tho i suppose as pure cargo cult, hypothesis floats
asciilifeform: i'm not in the habit of retrofitting a why to where there wasn't one. i suppose i have one set of jumper settings, she -- another, or i'd be in #darpa or wherever the capons and kanzures live, and not here
asciilifeform: lol i had nfi this needed a why
asciilifeform: i'd rather go straight to the very bottom of the deep sea, than to be 'saved' like the chix in that story was 'saved' ( not that noncuntbearing folx run much risk of this kind of fate, but there are cases on record )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i see no problem with it.
asciilifeform: for instance brin the elder told me ~20y ago that 'yer a tard', i did not argue then also.
asciilifeform: revisiting upthread : if mircea_popescu , or even say wykeham professor of logic , tells me 'yer a tard, problem is very simple' i'ma yes, nod, and not try to somehow argue that not. but it dun magically grow asciilifeform moar brain, can only go and think, and possibly one day think out of paper bag, how else. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 16:30 BingoBoingo: more heavily to the end of the year? As it is I am still effectively paying out of my diminishing savings to live amongst the retards.
mircea_popescu is strategically "fortunate", no longer has to ask "now how is it i manage" a few years later. this, of course, happenstance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, "it makes me so nervous but i trust you" explains the difference -- slave's well advantaged wrt zek. who's a zek to trust, he's supposed to be something entirely else. ☟︎
asciilifeform: also nao i'm curious, why illiterate
asciilifeform: i'm sure it would be great read
asciilifeform: oh hm, i thought it were
asciilifeform: but who am i to say.
mircea_popescu: so by this logic, the obvious thing i'd want to do is go to the place where idiots just like him take whores hired for the weekend, to trade my decade+ committed personal whores for their mercenary randos. because totally, i can't hire my own weekend whores if i feel like it, i gotta participate in the best buy of cunt.
asciilifeform: i'll admit to a bit of surprise re the recurrence of the 'retireded gringo' in mircea_popescu's field reports, i was under impression that these were rare outside of reservation
mircea_popescu: i suppose on list of inca taboos. share != star-e.
asciilifeform: whatever happened to the name, tho, i dun recall seeing it in print for , idk, 20y nao
asciilifeform: i have this vague memory of 'raganwald' appearing in-chan, but apparently not
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842466 : http://braythwayt.com/2013/10/04/the-freedom-to-pay-thirty-bux.html (meanwhile at https://github.com/raganwald/braythwayt.com/blob/gh-pages/_posts/2013-10-04-the-freedom-to-pay-thirty-bucks.md because, in the derp's own words, "i am an imbecile".) ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on 'conventional' www this reduces to 'munge the shitstack' problem, afaik still not satisfactorily solved ( and i dun expect a solution ). gotta have remake of www.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you feel like patching mp-wp to do just this, i'd very much run it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought whole point of the elaborate electrical echafaudage were , to try an' get around these headaches
asciilifeform: i think i misparsed 'half molded' lol
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can go eat, i'ma reflash disk, will take <1hr.
Mocky: no, i get something like http://trilema.com/2014/maramu/#selection-165.47-160.1
mircea_popescu: this is not at all that far off. i do a lot of that.
asciilifeform: i picture the camera pov as that of hogtied prisoner derp, and mircea_popescu whispers 'you dun even know what fun lies ahead'
asciilifeform: i like with the teeth.
mircea_popescu: i actually like the ones with girls, myself.
mircea_popescu: doesn't it link "Si nu-i da canoane multe ca cu mine is facute si nu-i da canone grele ca pacatile-s a mele." for you ?
mircea_popescu: o i c ty
Mocky: mircea_popescu, in the latest trilema piece I can't resolve the selection at the "ammends"(sic) link: http://trilema.com/2014/maramu/#selection-161.1-165.92
Mocky: when I went opened comp this morning half expected chat window to be flashing with with ping "bot dun work!"
mircea_popescu: i can see the "Since we've done the work" angle.
mircea_popescu: i could think of other reasons though. what happens if i want to see if you're voiced ? check the voiced set for you neh ? then if you're not included i trash your line.
Mocky: i was trying to figure out what madness was behind an stl <set> not having a 'contains()' method, and turns out designer isn't dumb after all
Mocky: when stepanoff starts talking about a guy who writes 77k lines of code and earns a raise, should instead get a $77M fine, i started listening more closely
Mocky: talks about how his son came to him for help with stl homeowrk, and he's like 'i'm not dealing with that 5 pages of compile errors'
mod6: Mocky: I'll have to take a look at that
Mocky: mod6, i actually feel way better about the stl stuff now after watching alex stepanoff talk about his creation for an hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COuHLky7E2Q
Mocky: compiler knows *exactly* what I want and emits it... except to the error stream instead of the output
shinohai: Hey BingoBoingo, did I already show you that blackgirlscode meets shitcoins I found ?
Mocky: c++ is a shitshow, I swear to god: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/PLjAM/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: anyway, i regard the matter of sausage as solved matter, by the germans, pre fucking the better germans (also known as jewz). say 1880s or so.
mircea_popescu: hm, did i even recount that ? kid goes to moscow to have a good time, like grandfather ?
mircea_popescu: i'd have said "go to munich sometime", but sadly this kinda ended. "go to munich with radetzky", as per the pilsudski story.
BingoBoingo: Living in the Middle West I saw many different kinds of German exile community
BingoBoingo: I doubt all germans were cool. Maybe just the Prussians?
BingoBoingo: I'm kind of surprised old country failed to invent the salchica and throw the whole thing on one bun
BingoBoingo: Seriously Imma have to put myself on a diet or get serious about fitness. I can't outwalk all the choripan... which is somehow more fattening when I make it myself
BingoBoingo: I've had steak once in this kitchen and I am getting fat off of chorizo, morcilla, and mortadella (for piglet)
BingoBoingo: The thing about Brasileros is they span all ethnic appearances. I could have swore one Brasilero during the hostel days was just a really faggy German
mircea_popescu: (it may be double that, for all I know, during peak hours. It could be 5 times that during peak holiday shopping). << careful, your linear thinkers are showing.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever talked to a brazilian male, thinking about it.
Mocky: omg, i "reached" 790k people. so powerful am i !!
mircea_popescu: Mocky https://stackoverflow.com/users/3211/mocky << i see stuff from 2009 in there. so ha-HA!
BingoBoingo: I really don't know how they manage to flirt and reproduce when they lack linguistic sexual dimorphism
BingoBoingo: Lol, biggest fag speakers I have met here are the Brasileros
BingoBoingo: Related, I put on some audio from Spain to help continue training the ears. Before this I am warned the accents in Spain son muy dificiles. And... Fuck the fuckers over there speak clearer than the fuckers here
Mocky: lol, 10 years ago I asked: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/335250/parsing-xml-with-regex-in-java
mircea_popescu: lol i see your castellan's improving
mircea_popescu: the examples can i nfact continue. before i wrote down grep -Po '"nickname":.*?[^\\]",' for http://trilema.com/2018/fetlikeslol/#selection-97.20-97.53 i reviewed the expert sex changes. do you know "you should really use xml module to parse xml" is included in ~EVERY~ ~SINGLE~ ~GOD~ ~DAMNED~ ~COMMENT~ ?!?!?
mircea_popescu: so here i sit discussing "proper" "mimetypes", because these are fucking things to discuss now.
asciilifeform: prolly left the 'example conf' uncommented, dollars to doughnuts, iirc i ripped the 'mime' thing out of mine
