mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski suppose you wanna fuck during
those 5 hours!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: but
that begs
the question : why is
this loop-di-loop necessary
to maintain
the pretense ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: but
then why use superpower so inefficiently ? it's like 'i have x-ray vision, but only when i look at
this angled mirror at you'
pete_dushenski: ie. 'rsa pill really exists, just you wait until
they drop bomb'

transmitted over a U.S. border,
then legally
the NSA/CIA/SCS will claim
that it
then falls into an international
transmission and
that
they are justified in performing an intercept, even
though it is a domestic call, but because it was shot out of
the United States over an international loopback. Another wrinkle is because
this loopback
to
the UK,
the British government will also intercept it at
the loopba

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 16:37 mircea_popescu: yeah but you want
the bridge
to be wide enough. 1kw is not practically useful - inductive charge for an average ac unit for instance easily beats 5kw
pete_dushenski:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480202 << ac isn't 'mission critical'. if it goes down for 15 minutes or even 5 hours, you might be a little sweaty and grumpy, but your hard drives aren't so flexible, especially if
they get caught mid-write with
their pants down (but ianae)

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:33 davout: if what i want is sell dildos online, and $framework runs on 15$/month box, wtf do i need a website
that could run on a
ti-89 for x10000
the price?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:31 davout:
the point is
that wtf do i need golden
toilet for, i shit just as fine on a regular one!
mircea_popescu: medicine works a lot like
this, in principle but with smaller parameters. law works precisely
the same way.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:15 asciilifeform: have, in fact, invented a means of 'putting out' fire
that simply moves it, 10x amplified,
to another spot.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:14 davout: your point is basically
that
the fireman could have a
tendency
to pyromania?
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
mircea_popescu: a "brilliant fucking idea" for everyone except everyone
that matters. hence democracy.
mircea_popescu: and
this is systematically
the problem of
the fucking state. by inventing "god's marriage" it fucks up
the natural social hierarchy ; where some get all and most get none. and by inventing "bureaucracy" idem. keep reducing "inequality" which is
to say -
those who deserve
to starve and
those who deserve
to puke - all get
the same
three peas ;
those who deserve
to bathe and
those who deserve
to burn - all in
the lukewarm pit.
mircea_popescu: the problem with
this being
that it ambiguously mixes
two categories. one from outside can't distinguish between
the pigs
that drove
the ship into mud and
the poor souls
trying
to push it back out.
they're all ~ equally covered in
the same shit.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:07 asciilifeform: davout: see
thread. if
the mess did not exist, ben_vulpes et al would have
to earn bread some other way
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480685 << no,
this is
the problem. a bunch of idiots would have
to earn bread different way ; and ben_vulpes would be allowed
to do something less idiotic with his
time.
that's
the problem whenever derps get
the reins -
they drive
the ship ashore and someone's stuck fishing it back out.
☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:05 asciilifeform: my realization is
that
this kind of
thing is EXACTLY same as fiatolade
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 20:46 ben_vulpes: i went
to upgrade a docker installation and
they pulled
this gorgeous
trick where
they actually deny access
to repos based on docker client version
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 20:43 davout: more like "oh, ruby 1.9 doesn't support
this new 2.0 syntax, let's just sed it into sanity"
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 17:09 shinohai: paging BingoBoingo ... he has
to write
this one.
trinque: Arathnim: hello, saw you in #lisp
talking
to gabriel_laddel
davout: "while
testing, kitting-out and packing would be performed by religious groups (in conservative states) and groups of people with alternative sexual orientations (in liberal ones)" <<< win
a111: Logged on 2014-07-16 19:04 mircea_popescu: "Suppose you have a company
that sets out
to make a widget. Let's call it Company A. Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and
the widget
they design and manufacture is of
tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality." << hey check out orlov.
davout: "have larger club, kill more enemies, rape moar of
their daughters", pretty clear
to me. "intentionnally shit in my own soup, so i can remain employed as a maker of fresh soup, as a general
thing" is something i have a bit more
trouble seeing
though
davout: while i don't care much for docker specifically, i don't
think it's a good approach
to blame people's stupidity and lazyness on *tools*. sure it makes it easier
to be retarded. and if your point is
that it makes every sane's person job harder, why not, i can agree with
that
davout: i'm not sure i agree with
the generalization
davout: i can see your parallel with
the fiat world
through
the mere existence of
the "technical debt" expression
davout: if what i want is sell dildos online, and $framework runs on 15$/month box, wtf do i need a website
that could run on a
ti-89 for x10000
the price?
☟︎ davout: the point is
that wtf do i need golden
toilet for, i shit just as fine on a regular one!
☟︎ davout: probably just as many people
that are willing
to pay $maxint
to be able
to shit in golden
toilet
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:10 davout: ben_vulpes: as much as rails is in many ways retarded i
tend
to

that if
this were
true, folks would write websites in straight c
davout: i blame 16gb of ram being seen as a small-sized server as
the main cause of lazyness
davout: well, i
think
that
this is a result of people being stupid and lazy, not really much more
davout: your point is basically
that
the fireman could have a

☟︎ davout: not "creating more labour
to keep
the cows busy"
davout: asciilifeform: yeah
that's
the point

☟︎☟︎☟︎ davout: you could fix
the cessna i fly with a
toothpick and some wire, doesn't mean
that
the existence of
the A380 is justified by
the creation of labor for
the cattle
ben_vulpes: rails webshites have 10x
the complexity for 1.1x
the 'features'
davout: but
that's kind of
the same
thing as saying "work creation is rewarded" when more modern airplanes require more maintenance
davout: ah, missed
the "in
this case, 'work creation' is rewarded." line
davout: i definitely agree
that
this applies
to rails
the phramework, but i am and will openly remain a rubyrast
ben_vulpes: how can
the game dynamics produce any other result?
