mircea_popescu: this "concerned public" nubbinstardation didn'
t work for the original nubbins. you think you're special or some shit ?
mircea_popescu: being an obnoxious turd, no matter how disguised, ain'
t gonna purchase you jack shit. no matter what you delude yourself into thinking it purchased.
adlai: asciilifeform: hypothetical program gets two files as input, old version and new version. proceeds to make diff itself, rather than relying on gnudiff; doesn'
t need to use awk matching since it's not massaging grudiff output but rather producing the vpatch directly itself, thus bypassing this magic string. am i missing something?
mircea_popescu: afaik outside of my referencing him (and for that matter tlp) by name, it "wasn'
t know" at least "not publicly" etc. which is disjunct from "not knowable" ofcoars.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:12 Framedragger: fwiw i still like moxie, but it's sad that he's doing the "i don'
t use gpg anymore" thing, too
mircea_popescu: we appreciate the compliment ; they can go serenade all the dumb cunts that don'
t know better, as before.
phf: binary blobs remain an unsolved problem. the whole idea of binary (or base64) is contrary to some of the more philosophical aspects of vpatch you and mp like to discuss, so i don'
t know if base64 even solves it.
☟︎ adlai: d) b64(gzip), hope that bug doesn'
t recur
adlai: i don'
t think "+++ " can be a valid (subseq line 0 4)
phf: huh, i didn'
t know that. i thought deedbot takes binary blobs sort of deal
phf: i guess deedbot does something it shouldn'
t do..
Framedragger: fwiw i still like moxie, but it's sad that he's doing the "i don'
t use gpg anymore" thing, too
☟︎ Framedragger: well.. that's one of the problems. i don'
t really keep names in my mind, it's not worth the space. sorry if i implied that i'd be able to point at anything interesting
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: I don'
t think keybase allows you to generate keys anymore...you have to supply them...
thestringpuller: Luke-jr was trying to warn people similarly to you as to "paper wallet" crap-olade. And "the self proclaimed experts" stated, " He doesn'
t believe that any security sensitive activity should happen in a web browser, disregarding the fact that today's JavaScript actually has excellent cryptographic bonafides -- like a random number generator that's generally stronger than whatever the host operating system can offer."
mircea_popescu: or because i was the only dude over 30 there that didn'
t look like advanced case of brain parasitosis.
mircea_popescu: jurov dunno if you care but your blog doesn'
t send pingbacks.
mod6: so, if we wanna go backwards, we'd have to create another similar method to go backwards with something like pindex = pindex->pprev. and this doesn'
t seem wholly better than what exists. i guess i did think about this about last week, but just figured putting in less code is better.
mircea_popescu: ie, science, technology, scientific and technological progress etc aren'
t driven by the naive, idealist "curiosity" of "bright folks"
pete_dushenski: wasn'
t there an old comment from non-senile buffett re: trading volume ?
phf: i know mitutoyo, but the joke doesn'
t quite work with a jp company. "honorable datskovskiy san received boxes 1 through 5 with replica card prints cut to 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm allowed error margins, that mitutoyo san found presumptuous to include with own humble compliments"
trinque: wouldn'
t it be more interesting to give them a problem that implies they know asm ? i.e. there is a robotic arm in a factory, RISC processor, here are the motions it should perform at these intervals
Framedragger: trinque: yeah, hm. i've seen more than one instance on that. i see what you mean. it was basically a case of, from what i gathered, "data sent; waiting for response; not a single byte sent back by server". either because server wasn'
t http, or some "hang forever, fucker" anti-DoS measure..
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580179 << goes back to tmsr compiling things. instead of the obvious conclusion "most applicants don'
t know how to program and most interviewers don'
t know how to interview" you get insanity "this problem is a special problem!!1"
☝︎ ben_vulpes: only grabs the ip list at the beginning of run, doesn'
t have any provisions for restart.
ben_vulpes: you teed it up nicely, didn'
t take much more.
mircea_popescu: just like the fucktards who don'
t like bitcoin aren'
t permitted to "upgrade it" ; they have to go do ethereum or whatever the fuck doge ripple solidcoin bullshitcoin they do.
mircea_popescu: if they didn'
t want to play in the character=byte garden they're more thanwelcome to go learn lisp.
mircea_popescu: this "modernisation and progress is the destruction of items by people who didn'
t like them in the first place" nonsense is pretty far out there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. why i didn'
t say anything re your curl earlier. will have to be run periodically lol
trinque: todd really is the worst name, isn'
t it
mircea_popescu: for some reason mud- welded in my head to conlangs/muds and wouldn'
t let go.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 17:06 asciilifeform: 'Plagiarize !! Let no one else's work evade your eyes ! Remember why the good Lord made your eyes ! So don'
t shade your eyes !' (tm) (r) (tom lehrer)
Framedragger: well, its status is prolly still unclear. but basically current govt doesn'
t really take to end to end encryption, in a more serious manner than previous govts; or at least this one managed to push things forward a bit
mircea_popescu: so no, the peasant didn'
t blame the boyar because the boyar did something. the peasant doesn'
t care about that (nor was the doing actually verifiable as such, nor did it likely happen rather than the opposite). the peasant blame the boyar because the boyar was the wrong thing, a do-er rather than an is-er.
ben_vulpes: the lifetime of coddling doesn'
t make managing them any easier either.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 01:47 phf: pete_dushenski: sure, but my comment stands. when you read travel diaries in general they all have the same format, it's just this particular one reads like "in my country of Kazakhstan we shoot dog, i couldn'
t find any places to shoot dogs in so called civilized england"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 02:30 mircea_popescu: i don'
t get this fizzbuzz thing. someone explain it to me ? for i from 1 to 100 do if i is divisible by 3 j+="Fizz" ; if i is divisible by 5 j+="Buzz" if j is null j = i print j.
mircea_popescu: am i nuts or something ? wtf "I think Fizz-Buzz is "hard" for some programmers because (#1) it doesn'
t fit into any of the patterns that were given to them in school assignments, and (#2) it isn'
t possible to directly and simply represent the necessary tests, without duplication, in just about any commonly-used modern programming language." (as per
http://wiki.c2.com/?FizzBuzzTest )
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get this fizzbuzz thing. someone explain it to me ? for i from 1 to 100 do if i is divisible by 3 j+="Fizz" ; if i is divisible by 5 j+="Buzz" if j is null j = i print j.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: this hasn'
t changed in 100 years, but still depends ~where~ we're discussing.
phf: pete_dushenski: sure, but my comment stands. when you read travel diaries in general they all have the same format, it's just this particular one reads like "in my country of Kazakhstan we shoot dog, i couldn'
t find any places to shoot dogs in so called civilized england"
☟︎ pete_dushenski: apparently the 'big city' of tokyo or wherever isn'
t part of the jp where triads ARE the law, financiers, drug dealers, etc etc.
pete_dushenski: phf: the authors aren'
t highly cultured and esteemed envoys from foreign lands, they're just... regular blokes.
mircea_popescu: now, it is true that you don'
t have to deal drugs to accumulate power ; nor because you accumulated it. but it is supremely unwise to imagine one's not going to crack a few skulls if it comes to it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, my selection-for-obedience process doesn'
t also select for comatose mental state simultaneously.
mircea_popescu: yes but i guess they can'
t be arsed to deal with stuck in traffic peon / having to physically go to the peon pen etc
mircea_popescu: they usually don'
t walk the streets, being selected for a sort of pretentious lazyness, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: or if they don'
t because society broke down, i guess my guardpeople shoot her and throw the body to the dogs. either way.
mircea_popescu: why would there be a THE HOUSE ? i don'
t subscribne to "let's all go to the same shitty island and make a georepublic" ima have a the house ?
mircea_popescu: what exactly is the cost of failure ? is it some sort of "oh, i can'
t go talk to the girl in the bar" sort of crazy ?
mircea_popescu: i can'
t imagine that whoever wanted to get in couldn'
t at least try.
mircea_popescu: and no, i have no argument - it is EASIER to think of yourself as "i am good at x" raqther than "brain works or doesn'
t work."
mircea_popescu: "this cpu could do anything" "i don'
t see your sql server doing any dos emulation work" "nigga... wut ?!"
mircea_popescu: i also didn'
t see meat airplane borne out of the soviet maternity circuit. this proves something ?
mircea_popescu: either your brain works or doesn'
t. if it does, you can use it for all brain things, much like either your cunt works or doesn'
t, and if it does it does for all dicks.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 14:44 mircea_popescu has the pleasure to introduce EDLionX , who's chinese, lives in brunei and looks altogether like a great kid (though he isn'
t a kid!)
mircea_popescu: yes, there isn'
t a beep-boop thing going around your livingroom. but it might as well be - the warehouse is entirely robotized ; the production line mostly ; etcetera. even driving is going away.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no ; because modernism hadn'
t ended yet. but the chick herself - if she weren'
t twerking she'd be on reddit . there is literally NOTHING for her to do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pygmystan is not actually a culture ; stone age tribes don'
t get names.
mircea_popescu: see, when I hire diana_coman to do dev work for eulora, OF FUCKING COURSE she gets to redefine the job on the basis of the title. because before she got it she hadn'
t seen the code, and after she had, for instance. or for any other reason.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly why simple minded folks in third countries such as argentina etc display the strange behaviour where they don'
t wish to actually work, first discussed in the article about whores
mircea_popescu: just because i can'
t keep up with the horse doesn'
t mean it won'
t get its exercise. we have mechanics!
