the ones i recall from early 2000s, gone nao
diana_coman: what can I say; fwiw on one hand entrance exam at my uni was already getting seriously watered down and onth in 500 students/ year (minimum), I have former colleagues
that are happily microshitting now as
they were
then
diana_coman: eh, what royalty
to speak of, lol; any exam-admission is already a form of "not for everyone"
diana_coman: my observation re numbers is
that it's not as much whether reich or not but simply whether "public education" as in "for everyone" or not; because if profs are recruited based on need,
there will just never be enough really; and
the wider
the base aka
the greater
the need,
the more chickenhouse, inevitably
diana_coman: that makes sense once it's a chickenhouse already, yes; supposedly it's not /was not,
to start with.
diana_coman: well, how would anyone find as many exceptions as needed
to fill all
the unis basically (not
to mention all schools!)
diana_coman: I don't even recall exactly but basically
took
their spec
too seriously
diana_coman: well,
the 18yo me at programming exam-to-get-qualification-diploma got
told directly (out of prof's sheer exasperation I suppose): "next
time, don't
think
that much!"
☟︎ diana_coman: hm, kind of all learning is about "how
to fit in";
the difference is "in what"
a111: Logged on 2018-07-13 18:52 asciilifeform: funnily related story, back when asciilifeform was a uni student, cellpnojeism was beginning
to spread among plebelands, and asciilifeform noticed
that folx were paying
telco fiddycents/minute
to
talk over 1-2km ! so asciilifeform went, like naive idjit,
to engineering profs, with 'p2p
telephony' proposal
thing, reaction was
the exact sort of
through-the-teeth laughter of
today's bernstein re phuctor .

they still respond
to signals! i once bought a ricochet modem just
to determine
this.
mircea_popescu: basically
they went ahead and did our passive mesh network
thing
mircea_popescu: they really don't want
the shits ever
turned off, do
they.
BingoBoingo: Apparently
they added another XY old woman
to
the "maintainer"
team
mircea_popescu: there should be a short story about
this, 1988 soviets don't spontaneously combust, but instead invade. find a mexican dude in all of new york
mircea_popescu: by "the retards" i meant whatever's currently left holding
the power ranger flag
BingoBoingo: The story doesn't make
this clear, but
this is not
the only recent case of
the emergent fad where fuel is dumped into
the armored cashier box and lit.
phf: (which might also be
the reason why i forgot
the password, it's lots of
travel and heavy drinking sessions one after another..)
a111: Logged on 2019-06-10 19:50 asciilifeform: achtung, whoever it was who was voice-calling asciilifeform's
torture room from ru : i do not pick
these up, plox
to use civilized means of contact.
phf: i've
typed it every day for
the past couple of years, multiple
times a day, woke up last
tuesday with no idea what it might be
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 4 days, 13 hours, and 52 minutes ago: <mircea_popescu> hey props on your parser, it does right
thing with context-supplementing bracket and link-anchoring bracked mixed in same line!
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 1 week, 2 days, 1 hour, and 33 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox
to snarf ch19,
ty.
phf: craziest
thing, i forgot my gpg password for about 5 days. was walking around
trying
to remember parts of it, obviously couldn't get access
to anything meanwhile
☟︎ BingoBoingo: lobbesbot jurov: Please issue
the invoices at your convenience
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: lobbes:
ty going
to put
the GPGgrams
together
lobbes: BingoBoingo: ^^ plox
to gpggram me wu deets. I can have it sent out by eod
tomorrow latest
mircea_popescu: and
THEN you gotta fix various half-installed libgdev and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: b) install gcc. and
then make. because it SHIPS WITHOUT
THESE. and
then of course discover
the current versions don't match what
the kernel was compiled with.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other lulz, getting nvidia driver installed on gaming box requires a) arcana getting rid of "nouveau" (their derpy cvasi-driver). and no, absolutely nothing of system internals is exposed on
tabletOS, you gotta know what you're doing in a
terminal ahead of
time,
there's no "visual GUI" way or manner
to even
touch anything system-relevant.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-02 01:24 mircea_popescu: so you know, "usa is
the powerfulest
thing ever" "reheheally" / "oh, #metoo matters" "where ?" and so on ad infinitum.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 14:23 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw
they always Officially print 'when crossing
the border' (recall
the ru d00d kidnapped 'in spain' etc.) it's
the new 'shot while escape'.
billymg: in my current situation,
there is not enough leftover energy for
the
tasks i'd like
to be doing.
this could be helped by
transferring
to a less demanding galley but my current
thinking is
to do my
time, save resources, and
then make it a clean break
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 17:54 lobbes: I've been doing some hard
thinking lately, about what I want in life, and about how I'm way
too content with my current living situation in
the reich.
The problem is
that man can indeed be content ~anywhere. Nevertheless, I find myself being sucked closer and closer
to
the intake of
the mass chumpatron. My
time, my money, my sanity, slowly but surely slipping away with each day
billymg: i slapped some parts
together for my fx build, and was able
to confirm
that
this particular asrock board does not support ecc ram
https://archive.is/CFyzn (for any readers using lulazon and looking for an am3+ mobo)
billymg: always seems
to save with
the post id as expected
billymg: tried a few different ways, letting it auto-save with no
title, explicitly saving with no
title, both of
those with a space only: " "
a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 21:35 diana_coman: in other stepping-in-all-the-holes : it seems I found a fail-mode of mp-wp browser interface namely if one pastes
the content of a post first and only
then (possibly after it rushes
to quick save it or whatevers)
the
title, it fails miserably as it apparently
tries
to save it with
title "" (notwithstanding
that no, it should not,
there is actually a
title
to it)
billymg: hi all, i've been quite busy but was still keeping up with
the logs
