mircea_popescu: also, i don't think it's intelligent to ban footnotes from code blocks necessarily.
mircea_popescu: the / is spurious. yes, people who get the tag misidentified can just replace the literal [ with an escaped value.
mircea_popescu: billymg, congrats, so now you understand parsing better.
mircea_popescu: but yes, you prolly have "scroll:show all" or somesuch'
mircea_popescu: they're broken, 1e69 - b26d299c1f0e9c11631a78c46f95913bd
mircea_popescu: 128MB default memory limit for a PHP script << this is not factual ; there's no default limit for a php script, it's set by config file, you can make it any value you wish.
mircea_popescu: this is remedied in the new version, because while the horiz scrollbar is still there for some reason, there's no need of it, as the actual width matches the window width, so there's no leeway to scroll left/right
mircea_popescu: the portion "$footnotes_options['superscript'] = (array_key_exists('superscript', $_" is visible on my browser. in order to actually see the "POST)) ? true : false;" portion of it, i'd have to scroll right. however, the right scrollbar is under line 413. if i scroll that far down, the topmost line is in the high 300s, meaning that i can't observe the effect scrolling right has upon line 149.
mircea_popescu: billymg, in the original example i looked at, line
149 reads : "$footnotes_options['superscript'] = (array_key_exists('superscript', $_POST)) ? true : false;"
mircea_popescu: in any case, the "machine-wrapped lines" refers to the machine pissing spurious characters into the text, NOT to how any terminal ~displays~ the text. what's wrong is specifically comma-slash-n, a syntactucally forbidden construction, \n can only follow a dot, questionmark, exclanation point etc.
mircea_popescu: and i think it's extensible : the same exact process should be applied to all code displayers ; it'll handle comments correctly by default, and people who don't like what it does to their code should write their code otherwise.
mircea_popescu: what i'm saying here to billymg is that he really should look into how trilema flows the content of logs such that they fit in the allocated space, imo that's the only way to go about ths problem
mircea_popescu: now, all this becomes entangled once we apply our
literate coding standards, because suddenly the code-vs-text difference above dissolves, and wtf are you saying, mircea_popescu ?!
mircea_popescu: there's also the argument that the compiler's the arbiter of code, and if ~it~ doesn't complain then fuck you. but in any case i really am not advanced enough to have the impression i have something to say on that matter.
mircea_popescu: then again have you seen my/his (hey, if dumbass bois can be denoted by complex pronominal constructions of little sense and even less purpose, why can't i be my/his!!!!) bash kb+ one-liners ? the man's insane!
mircea_popescu: there's the argument that very long lines are a symptom of poor writing habits, and if one re-wrote his code such that "fitting code to viewport" is never an issue the code won't thereby suffer (and if this means ditching idiocies like "object oriented" and dead-end wanna-be nonlanguages -- well, it's a public service).
mircea_popescu: wrt code however, mircea_popescu has no firm oppinion on line length, or what to do about it (apparently he also doesn't have a firm oppinion on discussing himself in the third person, which strikes the fourth person mp, that being the first person reading itself in the third person, as a little odd).
mircea_popescu: wrt text, mircea_popescu is firmly against machine newlines, because text is supposed to maintain auctorial intent not machine convenience, and the unit is the paragraph, and further considerations.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-28#1957545 << this is a misunderstanding. wrt code, mircea_popescu is firmly against spaces-as-substitute-tabs, on the theory that duble vowels are stupid and triple-vowels pure linguistic breakdown. there's no fucking reason to keep clucking at the same button over and over like a maniac ; and besides there's semantic difference between the two, spaces-as-tabs are just fucking
mircea_popescu: one of the many benefits of travel, it forces the review and fixing of bad trees.
mircea_popescu: bvt, i did see that, but i took it as a simple stop-gap non-answer. it's there serving a political purpose, i don't have cause to take offense for neglect or anything, which i don't ; but it's not ordinarily much of an answer, as there's no proceeding on it.
mircea_popescu: there's a self-obvious reason socialism existed traditionally as the political mode of
subsistence peasants, and then became an urban matter once industrialization produced of idle and useless vagrants in sufficient quantities.
mircea_popescu: so i really wouldn't be worried about any eventual extermination of socialism. if you don't wash you become filthy, and if you don't think you become a socialist. these'll survive, being as they are the names for a lack. lacks are eternal.
mircea_popescu: in fact, i doubt if anything ~but~ socialism is even meaningful to small children, much like nothing but tit is meaningful to even smaller ones. by extension reproduction-as-only-function females, the dedicated mothers, grandmothers etc with no other activities or preoccupations besides the production and early rearing of children are liable to revert to their mindset and worldview.
mircea_popescu: all children are born socialist the way they're born dumb, deaf and iliterate, with no taste for food and no taste for music, with no sexual capacity or experience, acultural, amoral and so forth.
mircea_popescu: socialism can and will survive indefinitely. like ordinary filth, vermin infestation and so on, it's the natural order, prevalent inside graves, abandoned human dwellings, any other disturbed then neglected terrain.
mircea_popescu: less reading deng derpy-ping, more log reading. it ain't the 50s anymore.
mircea_popescu: working debate, proceeding usefully towards actionable results' been a thing for a while now.
mircea_popescu: " Non-debate theory is my invention. Non-debate, is to gain time to work hard. When you debate, everything becomes more complicated and it wastes time. Nothing can be done. Don’t debate, and just try. Be brave and experiment." what ludicrous, half-literate, anachronistical nonsense. where's the gook dog been living under for the past decade, a rock in his native chinastan ?
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with permitting the enemy to get involved with the state.
mircea_popescu: basically the place's been economically in the equivalent of "having just lost a major war" since 1880
mircea_popescu: The peso ley 18.188 replaced the peso moneda nacional at a rate of 100 to 1 and was itself replaced by the peso argentino at a rate of 10,000 to 1 (the thing the austral replaced)
mircea_popescu: before that there was also a "peso ley 18.188", replacing a "peso moneda nacional" und so weiter
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-15#1956896 << here's some lulz : in 11985, the "austral argentino" replaced the peso argentino at a rate of 1 austral = 1000 pesos argentinos. in 1992, the "peso convertible" replaced the austral argentino, at a rate of 1 peso convertible = 10,000 australes. therefore, between the pre 1985 peso and the post 1992 peso there's a relationship of 1:10^7
mircea_popescu: dorion, o damn, you're rifht, i fucked the tags myself. sorry.
mircea_popescu: dorion, you didn't do nuttin, it's his crowns an' thorns.
mircea_popescu: he's got all the shit from the school bully he's gonna take, for chrissakes! therefore he'll deal with policemen, officious intermeddlers, people in suits and all the rest. anything but some pimply faced, overweight sixteen year old, he's been stuck with him for almost fourteen months and he knows well by now NOTHING COULD BE WORSE!!!
mircea_popescu: he couldn't learn a hundred lines of trivially repetitive multiplication table, but he'll manage subway and bus schedules.
mircea_popescu: this situation reccurs in the history of the young human male's tribulations on earth, whereby he runs away from school because the well familiar small difficulties are TOO MUCH TO BEAR, and "nobody really knows" whether the much larger difficulties are even large or difficulties or anything, so "let's find out"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs to me
discussion in #eulora is very relevant to the problem of bois, ie sexually and socially infantile but biologically overgrown males trying to "develop software"
mircea_popescu: whatever, let them be together, not the end of the world.
mircea_popescu: and the way this is then easiest handled (at least in part for legacy reasons) is as an "object" which gets preloaded, options.hurr = "durr" and so on ?
mircea_popescu: in the (ideally few) cases this is not feasible, people tend to mark their comms as such.
mircea_popescu: in any case, why do you want to maintain the "options" object ? too much hassle to take out entirely ? more elegant to have all the magic strings in one place ?
mircea_popescu: so keep on talking about what you do an' use the experience to talk ever more clearly.
mircea_popescu: there's notwring wrong with discussing the things, on the contrary. but let's read together what you said :
mircea_popescu: 'sthematter mocky, do the girls let you off your baluba island cage half wour every other week ?
mircea_popescu: wth is that guy's problem anyway, keeps doing these drowning man bobbles
mircea_popescu: i expect gcc will be the last owned portion, simply because of what horror it is.
mircea_popescu: reading which, i daresay to dorion that "No one yet owns GCC, primarily because I've been waiting to see if ave1 will resurface" is pretty lulzy a cocnept.
mircea_popescu: how's about recent comments in sidebar and title slug in archives, no content, so they can be useful for their intended purposes ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, your blog is such a pain to navigate, dear god. so i want to see your previous article. well... there's no recent articles on the sidebar so i can't just ~see the title~ therefore eschew the need to click things. but let's see the archives... oh oops... this month's archive is entirely identical to you know, your latest article, for the first mile.
mircea_popescu: let the servants work for a living, what the fuck is this.
mircea_popescu: i walk out of shops / restaurants / whatever ALL the god damn time, for the simplest of reasons, such as "took more than thirty seconds to come for orders".
mircea_popescu: why the fuck are you so dedicated anyway ? wrong place, ditch the heathens at the FIRST sign of trouble.
mircea_popescu: smart kidds gotta waste away, don't they, it's the imperative of the moment.
mircea_popescu: in other sighs, /me excitedly checked who the fuck that ИМ ave1 resqued from the spam que might be, went over to "knowen.org", turns out it's yet another dumbass pointless pantsuit platform-wannabe, "protected by recaptcha" to crown the shit in turds.
mircea_popescu: could be interesting for a lol. if you're using it for your basis you're way the fuck outta here.
mircea_popescu: footnotes plugin original, one, only, etcetera, is the one on mp-wp. what other garbage idiots did is garbage idiots did.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this nonsense, "the original" ? what fucking original ? the world starts here, not some other place.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-26#1957366 << how about your preference immediately becomes working on mp-wp as opposed to falsely claiming to be working on mp-wp while in fact trying to stick random unrelated garbage in there under this guise, because at the rate you're currently going im just about ready to set the bozo bit on whatever it is you do altogether.
mircea_popescu: (but to answer trinque 's original comment : stolen cookies atm not useful on mp-wp because only specified ips can wp-admin anyway)
mircea_popescu: as things stand now, 1 exists (though the hash could stand improvement) but 2 doesn't and 3 is sorta-implemented.
mircea_popescu: steall all the cookies you want ; and mp-wp can even dispose with the htaccess ip lockdown mechanism currently in place.
mircea_popescu: 3. users logging in get the cookie passed and a new record in sessions on the basis of the pw thei provided hash-matching the one in users ; logged in users get recognized on the basis of ip, user agent and session cookie identity (all three).
mircea_popescu: 2. there should be a sessions table, where logged in users time of log-in, ip, user-agent, session cookie are stored. sessions older than 24h should be deleted server-side. the session cookie should be a hash of at least the ip, the user agent and server date-microtime.
mircea_popescu: 1. there should be a users table, wherein existent users passwords are stored hashed.
mircea_popescu: the way mp-wp session handling should work is as following :
