mircea_popescu: mod6 why not ? pretty sure all it takes is money. the sure sign of booth not doing anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the precise reason stated, marginal weirdo cultish folk. why's ukrainian not count as russian ? at least the ukrs have the claim on ~inventing~ it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, i dunno how isolate. "Joƶalla ya marşo" looks exactly like gypsy.
mircea_popescu: what did they do, the anthem and the moscow theatre invasion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ddin't know this ?! imo one of their principal achievements
mircea_popescu: "A brief page with a few annotations about the Girl Genius web comic, for which a link banner appears to the right, is now on this site." holy shit that's terriblty drawn
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Welcome to my personal home page. There are many pages on this site, but this one is my own."
mircea_popescu: o darn, wasn't he gonnamake a nice travelogue post ? hm ? HM ?
mircea_popescu: maybe pizarro gives you a week off, you can venezuela!
mircea_popescu: taste all the cunts ; when you find the salty one you got her.
mircea_popescu: i'm happy with my set, enough so as to not hire male drivers.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, i am not responsible for moronia recruiting the wrong chicks.
mircea_popescu: the more typically observed pattern in humans, actually, is the skeleton.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know there's a quote for this, and it goes like "Just because females could endure anything does not mean they should is my view I suppose"
mircea_popescu: i am seriously considering buying her a racer if i ever europe again.
mircea_popescu: could be that women are actually better drivers, if not fucked in the head by idiot mother/bf combo.
mircea_popescu: also, she's a) too young to have multi decade driven and b) only recently allowed to drive at all anyway. so...
mircea_popescu: but i thought the argument was as to difference, rather than "any driver"
mircea_popescu: i never taught anyone how to drive, i don't even drive myself.
mircea_popescu: "utterly fucking broken down system of major complexity -- i have identified correct way out and the pedal goes down"
mircea_popescu: girl drove ~through~ rather than stopping and choking my engine.
mircea_popescu: well... consider the recently discussed case of amphibian landing.
mircea_popescu: if you don't watch at least two of them interact, then what can you say.
mircea_popescu: there's no way known to measure individual particles, they use particle interaction, yes ?
mircea_popescu: how do you discern if you're measuring the fermion's flavour rather than the tool's flavour ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but it ain't about "minor unexpected" either. it's that i was there, it has everything to do with me and how much she wants to please/impress/etc.
mircea_popescu: not at all. what, i don't give physics crash courses upon admission.
mircea_popescu: no, genuinely, it's both easier and faster to teach a girl ~anything.
mircea_popescu: ironically (at least from my experience), girls significantly more dedicated and skillable than boys.
mircea_popescu: perhaps a continuation of ballas' point re male nurses, but fucked i be if i can find it again.
mircea_popescu: in less lofty matters, do you happ[en to recall where the fuck i said essentially "women are the societal scar tissue, by the time males start leaving a field and women start joining it, it's fucked" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ye olde dos fit this, yes ? ye olde lispm, perhaps, also ?
mircea_popescu: well yes, the protabilityhell starts with printf, which is why phf was using that as example.
mircea_popescu: and if effort is made, no more specificity of diddling, cr51 for them all ?
mircea_popescu: no, this is simply "27 different proggies, no longet try to masquerade as 1"
mircea_popescu: but i suspect you will rue this day if you were to actually get your way, and at some point in 2118 all the work available consists of "try and write this thing from tree y for tree z, we don't currently know why it's a broken polymorphism to the x tree"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, not all these choices can actually be made into meaning.
mircea_popescu: to bring this flock back to the manger : what you choose to cut out to stay afloat in the postmodern deluge of intellectual objects is your choice!
mircea_popescu: this is traditionally the view of rabbis re bulk of commentary mass.
mircea_popescu: seems the ifdef approach to the problem is more in the vein of the kaballah+commentary (ie, the right thing) than in the vein of the xtian "translated scripture" + "megachurch", ie, idiocy.
mircea_popescu: having 27 independent restatements of the ~same thing is not intellectually dirty ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno i'd go so far as that, but it definitely isn't great engineering.
mircea_popescu: or rather, because people would prefer a single trunk for all machines, diversely broken, than a trunk for each kind of breakage.
mircea_popescu: ifdefs don't flow from prime principles, they're no if.
mircea_popescu: but yes the reason ifdefs exist is because machines are broken.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem here. "1. we have these machines ; 2. we know they're broken ; 3. alf objects to the curative process either because he doesn't like its name or because that which cureth could make ill."
mircea_popescu: no argument. but what is the ibm xt compatible, climbing down or back up ?
mircea_popescu: to which alf answers "sorry, i only fuck 19yos, i can't tell you why the tits sag" and i go "sure you do, but other people not as fortunate."
