a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 14:32 mircea_popescu: apparently the fact that it never worked worth a shit doesn'
t deter anyone. bureaucrats are not just stupid - but committed to stay that way.
mircea_popescu: trinque here's a strategic point for your consideration : eulora will move to a rsa auth model sometime next year. this means the client generates itself a key, and talks to the server. i don'
t want to create a special deedbot for eulora, and so, how do we best interoperate them so that i have rate and deeds in-game ? (ideally the wot visualisations and other such beauty also)

t deter anyone. bureaucrats are not just stupid - but committed to stay that way.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, isn'
t it remarkable the ustardian social media isn'
t up in arms about all the sex discrimination going on in iraq ? why, pray tell, ONLY MALES "of fighting age" are being suspected ?
mircea_popescu: you don'
t have to ~go~ somewhere to meet people, especially not in ancient inhabited places like asia.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this dumb shit, they ain'
t got computers where you live ?
Framedragger: didn'
t really get the chance. except for in retrospect missed opportunities :/
mircea_popescu can'
t stand azn soups for all the fucking oil they put in there.
mircea_popescu: eh don'
t be too harsh, you also have potato dumplings with a little cheese in them.
pete_dushenski: maybe a russian invasion, or at least a smattering of carpet bombing campaigns, will straighten out their obsession with risk aversion. but that might be a few decades off. unlikely trump can live that long, even if i wouldn'
t be surprised if he put an end to the two-term limit.
pete_dushenski: isn'
t such a faulty approach something mattis could do away with ? or too embedded ?
mats: anyway, i don'
t believe that combat vets (or vets of any kind) are suitable for public service in this manner
mats: some say he wouldn'
t have refused, if it had been marines in the fight
mats: although there's that incident involving an ODA group asking for medevac, being refused by mattis, forcing usaf to fly in from k2 with an unrested crew that didn'
t have maps
pete_dushenski: speaking of blogs, this comment came in recently with a link to an reuters piece about how the tsx had just turfed canadian scammer king anthony di iorio as their 'chief digital officer', just as i told them to do exactly five months ago. so goddam golden. mega-satisfying even though i didn'
t make a penny off the prediction.
ben_vulpes: i didn'
t actually know that the fire marshall planned to let himself in, but GLORIOUS SOCIALIST UTOPIA OF PORTLAND
mircea_popescu: i can'
t say i grasp what the dude thought he was doing exactly.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:25 trinque: still didn'
t feel superhuman on either; more like excited dog that has to sniff everything in a loop
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:24 trinque has advocated various dopes in the past solely because they were fun, like camping is fun, but I don'
t write code camping either. I camp.
mircea_popescu: fine example for trinque 's folder on "brain - not reasoning machine". woman goes out in the field with the horde of kids (whose job as we know is to act as landmine sacrifices for the mysterious bushes). notices kid eats berries from berry bush, notices kid doesn'
t die, has some, and then tomorrow, and then
mircea_popescu: a) people want to do x ; b) people don'
t weant to do x ; c) people pick the more lunatic marginal, make him Priest of X.
phf: perhaps if some tribe accidentally learned how to synth p they would have "festivals" around it. "doesn'
t work otherwise"
mircea_popescu: and ftr in the "Self administered medication" above i don'
t just count "performance enhancing psychoactives" but also colodial silver, large servings of c vitamin and for that matter fucking steroids.
mircea_popescu: come to think about it, i find it deeply regrettable that fuel teas aren'
t fashionable. imagine, if people actualyl did plant mix decoctions to mix in their gas tanks.
mircea_popescu: that ~nobody wants to notice~ is the very point. yes, once the spot on the sleeve is pointed out it stands out. and before it wasn'
t there.
mod6: but, i don'
t have a link handy for ya or anything, it's just '
http://nosuchlabs.com' in a private-window with all history cleared, no 'shop' link in menu bar.
mod6: doesn'
t seem to resolve the issue. but w/e. less people in line in front of me!
mod6: ooooh. i see what the problem was. the homepage doesn'
t have a link to 'shop'. after clicking on 'the real bitcoin' link, then was taken to that page, where a 'shop' link exists.
mod6: i didn'
t see a link. i'm probably an idiot.
mircea_popescu: he doesn'
t even realise that this is moo-ing for moo-ers, not discourse for people.
mircea_popescu: and consequently : he simply does not want it to be a discussion about that, so he doesn'
t mention it.
shinohai: Lamport parachute or it didn'
t happen.
mircea_popescu: because i can'
t conceive why'd you want to do that to your cornea.
trinque: still didn'
t feel superhuman on either; more like excited dog that has to sniff everything in a loop
☟︎ trinque has advocated various dopes in the past solely because they were fun, like camping is fun, but I don'
t write code camping either. I camp.
☟︎ jurov: sorry, pls what was that "25 times more productive" link? somwhow can'
t find it in the log
phf: asciilifeform: that's a good question, i haven'
t isolated the bug, but i'm pretty sure on openbsd crashes instantaneously. note that c++ threads are involved, so perhaps they try to initialize things even before you start using them?
phf: asciilifeform: oh so it doesn'
t crosscompile? i though buildroot explicitly builds all own gcc and family etc
shinohai: Yes I haven'
t done much with it yet besides verify the bitcoind snarfs blocks and that the flag produces a message
mircea_popescu: 441386 (Merkle Root c8f8c5889e5d8d61c40f23cbb9b9e60a809c1d516a69834379aa68f7467d8857 Hash 000000000000000002e85349ac1deb78507a9d9a514ba2cd439c1a537c248c56 ) doesn'
t seem to verify.
mod6: adlai: yeah, to make it work on bsd you need some special tweaks. otherwise, won'
t go.
adlai: what i can'
t fathom is this fetish all the teachers have for writing content by hand in realtime, rather than clicking a button and having a computer instantly display a legible, proofread, typeset, etc version
phf: adlai: you don'
t want to read it too closely, i certainly am not going to waste my time defending nitpicking
mircea_popescu: jurov yes, the problem is not well solved and not evidently solvable, but this doesn'
t make it not a problem.
jurov: 5 years go by, video card breaks and can'
t be bought, what now?
jurov: mircea wanted similar freeze with eulora, i can'
t imagine it
jurov: there are still too many moving parts, what do you do when you find catastrophic bug in X, or it has only hardware drivers for devices that can'
t be bought anymore?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel any schedule you make that doesn'
t include a fixed time to get pubkey is for that reason unusable ; throw it out and re-do.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: eh, if you're not willing to ask / do that to realize sane computing -- you don'
t want it at all.
mircea_popescu has been having fun asking libtards "so why didn'
t YOU influence the elections then ?"
mircea_popescu: next i suppose they'll be "teaching the controversy" of whether shit or turd is the correct choice, and we'll continue ignoring them and they'll continue to pretend that we don'
t matter and their 5% is inexplicable at the same time. without any problem whatsoever in their absent minds, putin doesn'
t understand how the world works and influences the elections, sure, why not.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 21:46 phf: i've been low-key reviving cmucl's hemlock, can'
t use portable hemlock nor climacs for that matter, because neither have terminal versions. needless to say the process is slow and painful. like right now i'm trying to figure out why scrolling the buffer is slow slow you can see each individual line redrawing. also arrow keys don'
t work
mircea_popescu: this is like being "centimetre short of gravitational capture". ain'
t how things work.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: let's put it this way -- I used cocaine, meth etc etc from 16-20 constantly, then not at all for 4+ years. Idk if that is disciplined or what, but I don'
t appear to have a problem with it, know what it does to me and think it would improve my current situation.
phf: i wouldn'
t code on coke, or amphetamines for that matter, that hyperactivity narrows down your periphery thinking, which results in a lot of drawn out code
trinque: doesn'
t look like superhaxor...
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: yet. I end up going through these cycles where caffeine works to stave off sleep, then it doesn'
t, then I end up sleeping on a couch for 3 days, 12-14 hours a day.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 21:22 asciilifeform: i've wondered if he doesn'
t have a secret and dire problem with dope or similar.
jurov: eh, leave gabriel be, at least he isn'
t working on doublebuffered Emacs FastSave(r)(tm)
trinque: "he didn'
t have my winning mentality!"
gabriel_laddel: jurov: if you don'
t understand how (common) lisp differs from tcl/tk you've missed the boat intellectually.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the problem here isn'
t a discrete technological product, be it a font or a bridge ; nor the dysfunctional process that produced it, be it a broken cnc mill or lucent ; but altogether something more fundamental, where young man looking to "go west" decides the west is at the bottom of the lake and proceeds to dig.
mircea_popescu: a) you can not meaningfully say if you've found a "good" font, seeing how you can'
t say what portion of fonts youv'e actually seen ; b) the very notion of good font is impossible because in principle all possible fonts were made already in triplicate.
mircea_popescu: consider a simpler problem - you wish for whatever reason to "pick a good font". suppose your "good" is specified. you proceed to... look at fonts, selected by some criteria. eventually you are tired to the point your eyes blur, and haven'
t seen 5% of the available offerigs in "gothic medieval" from one place. there's more places. when are you done ?
mircea_popescu: phf even limiting the matter to ttfs (seriously, postcript is a whole extra layer of crazy) one quickly discovers some very serious conceptual problems. i don'
t even mean from a technological pov.
phf: (it also has a nifty set of astro tools, that i use to chart the skys from time to time, because it's really easy to use and i don'
t know any better)
phf: i don'
t know. it has a whitepaper though
phf: i've been low-key reviving cmucl's hemlock, can'

☟︎ jurov: asciilifeform: iirc anything past 0.10.x won'
t speak with trb
yalehasaquestion: hey, I'd like to know, I've been running a listening node, and I added 46.166.165.30 as a peer -- but I don'
t look like I'm connected to it
shinohai: I've used --data-raw to good effect and didn'
t get newlines stripped
jurov: ever seen water pipe? it uses charcoal puck, too. and CO isn'
t very well absorbed by water (unlike CO2)
