mircea_popescu: ^ link above should be alf's "only so many lines of code within before madness", but i can't find it.
mircea_popescu: one
can't quite make fleas in the lab as things stand right now, so in this utterly jeffersonian view the ploughsman's the only true scientist.
mircea_popescu: but yes, to say it plainly : i don't agree phf was some kind of technical monument or example to be followed. making things that work does not enact one into such ; observe that every frog makes things that work, extremely fine things that work extremely well, viz the very fucking frog in question. yet a frog that can breathe is an ordinary frog, not an exceptional engineer.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding its manifest popularity among the most perdurant and pervasive type of hostis humani generis, it's still impracticable insanity.
mircea_popescu: in fact, breaking this distinction is truly the one deep problem with all sorts of "religious" thinkers in their own view, aka unmitigated morons in reality : the traditional position of the
mula, intellectually impossible as it is, stands as "i'm not interested in sin therefore here's what you must do about it".
mircea_popescu: is based will inform the ought discussion, sure ; but absent that... just, how ?!
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-11#1935529 << there's about zero chances i'll tell someone what to do with things that don't interest me. i mean it's not even fucking possible, altogether, by reason of logical inconsistency : if you're not interested in a toy, how the fuck can you summon the basis upon which to tell others what to do with it ? if you're interested then the same thing upon which that interest
mircea_popescu: "degitlegau" (lit, ofnecktierer) instead of the "alien" cravata (tie)
mircea_popescu: yes, but need a certain conceptual stability to attempt. i suppose the most systematic was late 1800s, latinization a la i h radulescu.
mircea_popescu: much like the man on pcp running up and down the sidewalk punching out imaginary flying trees is way too busy to kill himself properly speaking.
mircea_popescu: the reason rotards didn't do, incidentaly, is not wisdom but idiocy : so many
completely iliterate attempts to "systematize" lang, there was no fucking need or rather, practical possibility of directed activity like you're describing
mircea_popescu: notrly. they did however do an idiotic antisemitism thing ; the guy is actually Eliezer Schein ; and other than one of the precious few, subdozen romanian linguists ever worth the mention, aslo spent most of his life trying to be naturalized and not managing
mircea_popescu: Șăineanu (1920s) actually gives your exact etymology, [Slav. PODŬKOVŬ, din PODŬ, subt, și KOVATI, a făuri].
mircea_popescu: but if you want to do things in the style of print(url, list-of-params) whereby print_url(list-of-params) is called printing the list as an url, you definitely can.
mircea_popescu: why'd a flea need that much iron shoeing ? lest it jumps too high, of course.
mircea_popescu: php CAN handle cascading templating, the reason it's never seen is because anyone who can be bothered to do such things is not there to do it, but too busy fucking tghemselves in the ass with obscure dildos ; in romanian this is called "pe cind se potcovea purecele cu 99 oca de fier la un picior".
mircea_popescu: the greater point being that ad hoc php by iliterates is not different from ad hoc perl or c or bash or lisp for that matter, why's it the computer's fault ?
mircea_popescu: re echo '<a href="' . $url . '">' . $description . '</a>'; << nothing keeps you from doing print_url(x y z) if you want to. you'd have to define that function, of course, but this is true in lisp and any other language as well.
mircea_popescu: anyway : i'm willing to bet migration ~will~ be trivial ; and i am very curious to find out why not if indeed not
mircea_popescu: "without much effort" isn't meaningful. "in one week of six hour days". something.
mircea_popescu: you know, by the way, curl can make a heavy load for you any time you so feel like.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'll just have the girls try on all the stockings in the house
mircea_popescu: i have pie, and sluts, and a whole web of plans and complots & conspiracies to alleviate the expectation
mircea_popescu: lobbes, you know, it's technically speaking sold ~to~ lobbes.
mircea_popescu: (this is deliberately, so a whole field of one can be converted to the other without needing lookahead parsing, just s///g will suffice)
mircea_popescu: holy shit i had to take out [] style links from my latest trilema draft.
mircea_popescu: will be trilema.org/dtng meaning it'll still block bw leeching, meaning -0 interest from all the usual makers of something from nothing.
mircea_popescu: or rahter, if. incidentally, there's some way to read smart data ? i get oyu don't use the buttholes, but locally there still is a way yes ?
mircea_popescu: i confess as a merchant i have a literal and approximative grasp on theological arcana.
mircea_popescu: attempting to put in production alf-formulated republican theoretical theosophy earlier, "spin up instance on spot" or however it went
mircea_popescu: but this is the ideal application : trielma's backed up anyways, and losing dtng chanmaterial... well.
mircea_popescu also never thought he'll live to have a use for pure stripped raid arrays.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yeah, isn't light log a pleasure on tired eyes!
mircea_popescu: and if bw comes to grief, we can either further tune the software via same process trilema.org was invented anyway ; or else spand the pipe, we see theb
mircea_popescu: and make them a strip raid. and this;ll be the trilema.org / dtng box then
mircea_popescu: very nice. so get then 4 whatever plate disks you folk recommend on the basis of your extensive experience with computer hardware, seagate ?
mircea_popescu: (then again trilema bad is a thing in its own class - for instance anyone recal lthe time of the deal wiht copypaste, when trilema served a few imgs on each page of the 8chan ever loaded ? came to astonishing amt)
mircea_popescu: iirc original item was bad, but not nearly trilema-bad
mircea_popescu: well, more of a "we cross that when we actually get to it whainot."
mircea_popescu: was fully expecting russian to pop in at any moment. didn't see it ; but the topic is very central to rus' nationality research, a mirror of the novgorod-constsantiniople trade, this slavic over-the-danube thing. so not all hope is lost.
mircea_popescu: (long story short, eugenie grandet of the colonies really really wants to impress le petit monsieur vane-charles, if not with a bit of cold pheasant for breakfast then at least with some gossip circle fireworks. needless to say the local bureaucrats weren't impressed with any of it.)
mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing history : anyone know of a study describing anne hutchinson's self-evident influence upon the concept of a "witch" in the colonies, and retelling the "witch trials" as her necessary epiphenomenal epigonic downstream ?)
mircea_popescu: spyked, you know what, re img pastebin ? i think im just going to revive ye ancient dtng service
