mircea_popescu: well, other than that assignment can be informal.
mod6: and the idea of "done" can be a different field.
mircea_popescu: ok but how do you track progress ? "this is done" "oh yeah ? when ? by whom ?"
mod6: err, meaning, if it is assigned to a person already.
mod6: irl, it seems like if a guy isn't assigned a ticket, he rarely looks at it.
mod6: mircea_popescu: so during development, i decided not to allow assignment for tickets; i wanted to encourage all to look at tickets and possibly propose solutions or changes to even patches submitted (denoted in the notes section??)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-11#1480951 << o, you hate proper hdds now ? when did that conversion happen ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai let me guess, phantomcircuit works for them ?
mircea_popescu: seems we need two more items right ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 so here's a q : suppose a ticket gets allocated to a name. how does tbot know this ? suppose the name completes the ticket. how's tbot know ?

mod6: ok so for future ref just set no wrap and it should be fine then?
mod6: yup thanks for updating
mod6: im sortof overly paraniod about 80 col wraps. if i set a command in vim to do it for me, i feel like its not always consistant.
mod6: sorry, i must have overlooked that
mod6: also, i think it may read a bit better if "proposed" becomes "proposals"
mod6: oh, i typically wrap at 80 by hand.
BingoBoingo: But machine does not mechanically un-80 column text
mod6: thx though. tried to just keep it short/sweet.
mod6: oh, alright. i was just looking at some others that had paragraph tags in there. wasn't sure.
BingoBoingo: mod6: In the future <p> tags are superfluous and what is this thing where you insert superfluous line breaks?
mod6: ah cool! Thanks BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell jurov Sorry for the ambiguity. I mean you could help mod6 with the disposition of his shares.

asciilifeform: (because, i suppose, they were also retarded children??)
asciilifeform: apparently, there is nothing more attractive than ~empty~ swimming pool, if you ask american jurists.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> apparently, it's "anything that may attract a child", and outright a defense in tresspass! << Swimming pool is canonical "attractive nuissance"

asciilifeform: and fuck seek times measured in ms vs ns.
asciilifeform: backup, to keep in safe.
asciilifeform: i tread spinning rust as i once treated tape
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why do you dislike the plates so much?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-11 02:17 pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480214 << now ~that's~ the business. will defo be looking into these at next place (2017 sometime)
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-11#1480807 << If your generator doesn't have wheels will likely need Electrician to wire/pull permits. Such things can actually be had from big box stores like the Orange Depot ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dunno about yours, mine are ok to 75c or so

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-11#1480803 << AC is mission critical for the health of your hard drives ☝︎
ben_vulpes: or 'excavator' -- with treads and arm and bucket?
ben_vulpes: figure out? were controls marvelously different from controls of other motorized things?
mircea_popescu: nobody expected 6yo could figure out how to run the thing.
ben_vulpes: "might be interesting to look at" as a legal problem cracked me up when i first learned of it
mircea_popescu: this magical item that can charge your credit card to the max, has no duty to protect you (you have a duty to protect him). no fucking wonder every prole aspires to police himself.
asciilifeform: but in - afaik - all of usa, folks who 'cause' the death of policeman by, say, running away and then he crashed his cruiser, are tried for murder.
asciilifeform: ^ the infamous skylight case
asciilifeform: hey, they even had, e.g., http://overlawyered.com/2006/09/the-burglar-and-the-skylight-another-debunking-that-isnt
mircea_popescu: and this is all post 1990, too. fucking place went to shit with moscow in tandem.
mircea_popescu: if your kid goes on my property YOU PAY ME! not the fucking other way around omfg!
mircea_popescu: "unenclosed pools, machinery or stacks of building materials" that present "an irresistible lure" omfg what the everloving fuck.
asciilifeform: recall the famous band-saw case.
mircea_popescu: apparently, it's "anything that may attract a child", and outright a defense in tresspass!
asciilifeform: 'A local apartment com-munity had become a problem with unsecured vacant units, garbage, graffiti, attractive nuisances, and blight. The owner also routinely rented condemned units that had no power (cord was run from other units). Neighboring owners complained of rodents coming from the unattended landscaping and units. Squatters were found in units by the police department. Owner was cited...'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the great uszimbabwe,
mircea_popescu: if history's any guide, fiatcorps could forever buy russia. at any rate the byzantines could buy asia. according to them at any rate.
ben_vulpes: path there will be bumpy for folks. in the above and other ways.
ben_vulpes: anyways there's a whole infection to deploy between today and a world of impoverished fiatcorps.
mircea_popescu: but in a lot of detail! makes up for distance through depth!
mircea_popescu: alf's favourite approach is to discuss something vaguely related :D
asciilifeform: afaik it takes everyone.
ben_vulpes: point i was seeking to make is that as much as usians like to bitch about cost of health insurance and what it doesn't cover, they have no idea what pain is lurking in the near future
asciilifeform: recall, the car and nothing else caps the mtbf of usaschwitz inmate at something like 200 yrs
mircea_popescu: "the people" are up in arms about this. not permissibru.
asciilifeform: aha. and this also is sop
mircea_popescu: this is like some people buying cars that take them places and some other people buying cars that take them to the morgue
mircea_popescu: we both fuck the same sick girl. i don't care and you die of a brain abscess.
ben_vulpes: that some can afford to live and some mustest die
mircea_popescu: cost is just a proxy for this. they don't perceive the same capacity from "it", mostly because htey're imbeciles and will perceive my cock when it's sliding in and no sooner. which is why they talk of that not this.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes also, the problem with healthcare isn't the cost per se. it's that it distinguishes between people. they have a serious problem with any sort of "reality comes home" situation where difference between people may be forced from outside.
ben_vulpes: if it leaves me eating dust and my children picking pockets i will go to the street gladly having seen it
asciilifeform: 'All existing phones in the holding cells were replaced mid year. The previous telephones were equipped with a hand-set which created a number of issues. Our primary objective was to allow prisoners telephone access while minimizing risk to staff and prisoners. On many occasions prisoners would forcibly remove the cord and handset from the telephone housing. The newly installed telephones have no cord or handset which, in turn, mini
ben_vulpes: oh i am waiting for the great implosion of unwrangleable complexity
ben_vulpes: the windows shop approach is not at all bad from a resourcing perspective. 'software is complicated and sucks and we need a budget for maintaining ours. may as well just pick technologies we can staff for 60k/yr/butt and allocate integer butts.'
ben_vulpes: americans think /healthcare/ is going to bury them in costs. they have no idea what the maintenance cost of the past 2 decades is going to be. what a burden poorly written software is on a business.
asciilifeform: my observation was that there is STRONG anti-incentive.
ben_vulpes: man the 'not quite emacs' keybindings in weechat are killing me
ben_vulpes: complexity in software, that is
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:12 asciilifeform: davout: my observation was that there is ~0 incentive to make wwwtronic systems lighter/more consistent/more apprehendable/less broken.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480694 << another take on this: the only constraint on complexity is design and discipline. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i'm a peripherial acquaintance with another cult that occasionally writes, say, templating languages in c. for use from c.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:10 davout: ben_vulpes: as much as rails is in many ways retarded i tend to think that if this were true, folks would write websites in straight c

pete_dushenski: 'golden toilet' is only a thing because state can't even make basic toilet. it doesn't ~want~ toilet made of precious metals, it just can't find its way to a more efficient solution.
pete_dushenski: the mere suggestion that the state can ~do~ things that private individuals can is misleading and farcical.
pete_dushenski has seen this utter dearth of optionality with own eyes, from inside. 'no fun' doesn't begin to describe it.
mircea_popescu: throughout. no exceptions. no meta-bullshit. from petraeus to the last grunt, zero, nada. nothing.
mircea_popescu: the optionality of the state is just about zero.
mircea_popescu: you're acting as if they're doing that, or any other thing, for fucking fun. it's not for fun. they're doing that, like everything else, for the same reason : they perceive they gotta do something ; dunno how to do anything useful or effectual and so this is what's left.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you also don't have to dispense shitty cheese to a bunch of deeply retarded, profoundly useless, schmucks with pretensions.
mircea_popescu: am i the only one that's very amused by this joke ? guess so huh.
mircea_popescu: soon enough, once we complete the uti.
pete_dushenski: unless i'm mistaken, this is within alf's modest ability, and he is not statal superpower
pete_dushenski: maybe i'm thick but how is packet diddling 'heavy weapons' ?
asciilifeform: and them packetz diddle themselves aha lol.
pete_dushenski: weapons too heavy to lift and paper of such poor quality even the knock-off artists on the other side of the pacific don't want it
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: if i was at that life stage (yes, it's coming!) then i will have one garage for five cars and another of ~equal size~ for back-up power ☟︎
pete_dushenski: because everyone else on the outside is pointing and laughing
mircea_popescu: or* call girl's bestie "hey you got power ? ok if we come over to fuck at your place ?"
pete_dushenski: mod6: last year too. i think i mighta had that card, which is why it rang that memory's bell
mod6: He did spend 1 year with the Whalers
