mircea_popescu: but
this
thing you really need 2-3 people and ideally you know, an hour or so undisturbed
mod6: oh yeah,
they have wild boar in
tucson.
they'll eat anything.
mod6: i do clean my own phesants, about 50 per year. but
thats easy, and a lot different
than a large animal.
mircea_popescu: and you know, boar weighs about
the same as a large number of sacks of potatoes
mircea_popescu: fucking nigthmare
the damned shits, like
they were everywhere
mircea_popescu: spent hour and half dragging it around
trying
to find place with no anthills within five feet
mod6: it helps when its cold out,
this is for sure.
mod6: me? i've done a deer a few
times
BingoBoingo: alf draws workman's comp from
tower crane induced UTI
mircea_popescu: you ever
took a live animal and
turned it into steaks ?
mod6: but, alf seems
to know something about rabbit stew; with a decent shotgun, small game is easy.
mircea_popescu: incidentaly, what do
those people do when
they need
to pee ?
mircea_popescu: the real work crane hosts 3 and
they sit on
the same chair.
BingoBoingo: Ohterwise alf has said mod6
that he would be pashtun dog.
mod6: i feel like alf could live like
ted kaczynski in
the woods just fine.
ben_vulpes: it is precisely
the opposite of adaptive
ben_vulpes: i really admire
this nest of constraints you've put up, asciilifeform
mod6 imagines alf in
the control box
BingoBoingo: If you stay at home depot long enough you can get your lift
truck license
BingoBoingo: Prolly more popescutronic girls
there
than rupture farms
ben_vulpes: there's also
the local amazon subsidiary
BingoBoingo: You can even move
to other corners of Mordor!
BingoBoingo: Just suggesting an employer who can give alfdog fiat and who is hiring
this
time of year.
gribble: Estimated
time of bitcoin block reward halving:
Tue Jul 12 01:22:13 2016 UTC |
Time remaining: 12 weeks, 4 days, 22 hours, 40 minutes, and 0 seconds.
mod6: Say
that
the reward half is in july... seems hard
to figure we could have anything meaningful written in ada by
then at all.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i don't expect
to ever relax. but currently exploring
the idea of less-loathesome wurk << Seriously
try Home Depot
mod6: mircea_popescu: anyway, re: retooling
to ada; I
think my overall
thought was, get v054 complete, in its classic form.
Then move along
to ada perhaps. But
then
there's still
the question surrounding your suggested changes. Should be done in cpp ala classic? Or full re-write including your changes?
ben_vulpes: software qua software is a mystery
to me, asciilifeform.
ben_vulpes: system works so well
they never needed a hand afterwards
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yes, human interaction. i'm a derpy american business-ish hustler who also does software as it pertains
to
the /businesses/.
mod6: except for
the $12 bj's.
that's a decent perk
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: beats me! just answering
the question.
mod6: hm. but custom work pays ok
then right?
ben_vulpes: mod6: every payment processor has
their own interface. but as mentioned above,
the
tech is almost entirely ancillary
to figuring out what needs doing and piping
the data round.
mod6: huh. so
there's no way
to make an interface
to just bolt on
these abortions 'eh?
ben_vulpes: it's
the guiding
them
through
the conversations with
their auditor, department of revenue...
ben_vulpes: you
think /i/ need help shitting out some
tags?
mod6: because, my
thought here is, Mr. P. inflates bitcoin via V, and
then `cd bitcoin ; make`
mod6: the main
thing is; i've gotta get
the makefiles in proper order, and basically, iirc,
they already are real close.. but
the
thing I gotta work out is making a vpatch
to add
them
to
the source
tree.
ben_vulpes: or, say, custom forms for donation-accepting nonprofits who need
to collect additional data on
the state's say-so.
mod6: so in other news... yeah,
tomorrow will work for me. i know
trinque has been doing good work on deedbot etc lately, so I'll
try hard not
to bug him on
the shit i gotta do.
ben_vulpes: "yes,
that falls in
the set of
things you can purchase here."
ben_vulpes: 4 10's, kegs in
the corner, 20-hr weeks, philosophy instead of working, dollars...
ben_vulpes: various knobs
to
turn based on worker proclivities,
that's all.
ben_vulpes: try
to eke out a few dollars here and
there.
ben_vulpes: i still labor under
the delusion
that i'll crap out something someone like myself will find useful
that will pay for me
to relax a bit.
mod6: im not sure which is more depressing actually, shitshoveling in a jerva shitstack all day, or walmart. make me want
to pitch a
tent in Mr. P.'s garden instead and work on math machine, even if futile. would be more rewarding
than
the shit i do on an avg. work day
ben_vulpes: other
than
that, hilariously inept at anything other
than procuring usg dole or scaring innocent civilians with 'sekyoority' analysis
ben_vulpes: nevermind what
the 'correct by construction' flight controller will be used for.
ben_vulpes: i would vastly rather shovel
this shit in my own office with my hand-selected brothers and sisters in arms
than
travel sixty minutes each direction
to work on
the once-every-two-years cool multiphysics projects $semicorp has on offer or 1.25 hours for
the opportunity
to labor in a machine shop with men who
think boats are a good investment
mod6: there's your
tax dollars hard at work
mod6: same lady, week after week buying
the same full cart of vagicreme. same guys night after night wrestling over a spot in line at 01:59 am
to see who would get sold
the last 40
mod6: for about 8 months, and spent
time working nights in a
tucson walmart in
the ghetto
ben_vulpes: i have yet
to find anything /less/ painful for webwork.
mod6: im gonna have
to be like Hiro, quit
this shitshoveling and start devivering pizza for CosaNostra
ben_vulpes: "well because how would map know how many arguments it
takes?"
