gabriel_laddel: you're talking about the women in question purposefully aborting her pregnancy?
gabriel_laddel: I've had sex with a female if that's what you're asking.
gabriel_laddel: in what sense? that it'll accept all sorts of odd inputs?
gabriel_laddel: I mean literally - steal their bitcoin, hack their bank accounts
gabriel_laddel: About this "don't feed raw data into your app" and "filtering" nonsense - if you're using a language that isn't complete shit you never need to "filter data" (just communicate in sexprs and (let* ((*read-eval* nil)) ...))
gabriel_laddel: EVERYTHING you've thought on the subject has been covered.
gabriel_laddel: While I think that the whole submitting to a teacher thing is important in some cases, we have 100ks of people running through e.g., introductory chemistry courses. There are only so many paths to walk.
gabriel_laddel: Let's say that you sign up for a course. You cannot possibly learn anything interesting because they've got to execute all code in the browser, or barring that, you're aping youtube videos.
gabriel_laddel: Completion rate is really irrelevent, the problem is that they've created this new "format" and books are still superior.
gabriel_laddel: It is the good sword. However in the game I stole the reference from - it was the sword of the villain.
gabriel_laddel: unless I give someone the direct link, as in here they'll only see it from that code path.
gabriel_laddel: I'm not saying that it will happen, merely planning for the unlikely
gabriel_laddel: They are guaranteed to have an agent one or two handshakes away.
gabriel_laddel: y linux kernel via sneakernet produced by ? who didn't interface with the kernel devs and originally uploaded his modifications from several drones abandoned on coffee shop rooftops."
gabriel_laddel: "A single procedure call being all that is necessary to bundle the entirety of the (possibly heavily modified) sources into a redistributable bootable USB stick installer or network download. Coupled with meaningful extensibility, the unsophisticated interests that have taken ahold of the bureaucratic process of all linux distributions are bypassed. Imagine hunting down 1000s of individuals distributing a less crapp
gabriel_laddel: the distro has been curated - the development on top of that has not been finished
gabriel_laddel:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-03-2015#1069268 << for the record I was not attempting to "pass off" anything, but rather clearly define what it is that I'm talking about. I'm rather happy to have second-guessed that decision because the correct answer is that the lordship isn't clearly defined outside of what has been posted to trilema and as one who isn't a lord I have no buisness calling it anything other
☝︎ gabriel_laddel: The programmatic object returned then can be used on top of something like e.g., CLIM
gabriel_laddel: !s so sick of asciminerism I can't even begin to tell all
gabriel_laddel: !v assbot:gabriel_laddel.rate.mats.1:af274b559672ad59e75e9980aa8d67558cdb50339e2cab5747d1fcc90c50c0bd
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: I'll note that without comprehensive design documents others have to retrace your steps entirely and anyone who is a fan of your work is running on grey goo pipe dreams.
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: o. I thought that you could if they have an entirely known design?
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: iirc your argument was "it isn't worthwhile because if you succeed you'll not have enough of them to do anything interesting with"
gabriel_laddel: I can't remember your exact words, but I think you said in here once "my time would have been better spent putting together a demo than blogging"
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: we've already discussed this. I'm for doing it piecemeal because there are no other options.
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: Sometime in the next 48 hours I'm going to drop some information in here regarding the #b-a distro, and when finished with that move on to finding funding again.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: actually, re-reading your last message - isn't that really an argument against abstraction period?
gabriel_laddel: ^ I never would have thought of presentation systems unless I happened upon ascii_field's blog.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: nonsene. We know any programming language that doesn't allow the operator to manipulate its own ast programmatically is going to waste the operator's time.
gabriel_laddel: because some of the $random-african-gruntlangs don't have any means to describe the future or past.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: learning latin is very different from learning $random-african-grunt-lang
gabriel_laddel: Urbit is probably a good example for what I think stas is discussing. You can get paid very well so long as you are very active doing nothing.
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: it is palpable. << Yep. Let's say, for example that you learn perl. Nothing you learn has any use outside of... writing perl. If you learn javascript, java, C++, scala etc. idem. The web and these related "technologies" are going away. All of the effort poured into learning them is wasted.
