asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's is actually the slightly more complicated one.

asciilifeform: reading mircea_popescu's recipe, asciilifeform begins to suspect -- but cannot yet prove -- that no better-than-chance strategy exists for this game .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how many bits of space do you want ?
a111: Logged on 2017-06-08 04:22 mircea_popescu: btw @all, lemme know if you have complaints/comments re the whole b itcoin learning thing before it gets drywalled.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'd be amazed at what gets written on the cup.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't obvious, at least to asciilifeform , that having worked as a legit surgeon for 30yrs, say, in orcland, is a serious advantage to starting illustrious butt-silicone-injections-in-back-of-truck career in oakland
phf: mircea_popescu: i thought "elites" were under the discussion, but yeah, we went in the direction of females
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: per the su pov, the stuff inside the head of, e.g., serious physicist, is 'actual goods'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't comment on ro emigres, but with su world there was a lulzy twist : 1st wave (1970s -- largely j000z!11) wrote home, 'i'ma full professor and it rocks, come on over', 2nd wave went, to discover that market -- glut, and hello cab ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-08 03:56 mircea_popescu: you know ? dumbass soviets were like this, and then once the 80s were over and shitholistan moved to arab world, they were like that in the 90s.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-08 03:42 ben_vulpes: heh, friends have been whining, "what if you can't come back!!!1" without ever once considering the corrolary "what if you can't get out?"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu | ooo and in other news, turkish parliament approves turkish army depoloyment in qatar. << at least someone in fiat isn't afraid to get their hands dirty.
ben_vulpes: i still gotta read through that, mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> speaking of old hardware, /me just bought a bmw 320i from 2005. << Oh my, A German!

a111: Logged on 2017-06-08 03:16 pete_dushenski: the subsequent generation of 'semi-automated' have paddles on steering wheel or column. 'like f1 car'(tm). gen1 just had clicker sub-gate on centre console shifter
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-07#1666970 << entirely adequate ocr on this blob, ty whaack_ ☝︎

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: neato. manual ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu collects vintage autos nao ??
mod6: i should note, that if you end up setting a default run-level with wpa_supplicant to debug some stuff, ensure that you disable this. you want to remove that with `rc-update delete wpa_supplicant`. then add `rc-update add net.wlan0 default` in its place. this, at least for me, fires up the adapter and negotiates with the AP at boot time.
mircea_popescu: whaack_ renting ? what do you mean ?
a111: Logged on 2017-06-07 21:12 mod6: asciilifeform: new laptop i grabbed. x86_64.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman yeah, and that whole "because fuck your race" thing.
trinque: diana_coman: girl's also part cherokee; apparently they'd solve the cognitive dissonance by saying "ah, her? she's got a man's spirit!" and leave it at that
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, mama lu' stefan cel mare? lmao
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, not sure I'd have less trouble finding a man really; I get what you mean though
shinohai: Perhaps because diana_coman is equal to any 10 other women I know.
mircea_popescu: poor diana_coman
a111: Logged on 2015-09-14 00:35 mircea_popescu: * trinque [...] a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me << for the record, i don't think very much of this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you think a little about it, so would you. a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into the position of DEPENDING on a kid ? that's what you're saying. don't say that, not only is it not true it's also very stupid.
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform learned that a very recent chinese fpga board : AX516 ( http://esys.ir/images/img_Item/1158/Files/AX516_usermanual.pdf ) includes RTL8211EG , GB nic !! and cheapo.

mod6: !!key pete_dushenski
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you missed 0 useful
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most 'intelligence komyooniti' folx slave for a nominally 'private' org, rather than for usg in the proper sense
asciilifeform: 'Existing implementations of mmap() return the value -1 when unsuccessful. Since the casting of this value to type void * cannot be guaranteed by the ISO C standard to be distinct from a successful value, this volume of POSIX.1-2008 defines the symbol MAP_FAILED, which a conforming implementation does not return as the result of a successful call.'
asciilifeform: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_rm/Address-Clauses.html << discussion of 'address'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it ever were to change, ~100% of the contents of your box would barf
asciilifeform: i probably oughta explain why we even have this MAP_FAILED : constant Address := System'To_Address(16#FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF#);
asciilifeform: try To_Address instead of System'To_Address
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what barf remains ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: in this particular example, can debate which is the useful-stricter
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the example was written on a box with adacore's gnat; the stock gnu one is stricter, doesn't permit Foo'Image -- instead you gotta FooTypeName'Image(Foo) ☟︎
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'mosul' in the sense of "we're totally about to win! it's going to happen! any day!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not really ; usg hasn't yet won THAT one.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu is suggesting this could be another 'mosul'?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: no deepwater ports make it difficult to deliver food directly, neighbors have said "no stopping at qatar after with us"
asciilifeform: diana_coman: mmaps offer yet another method of glue -- theoretically 2+ processes can simply share it
asciilifeform: diana_coman: gluing in whichever direction, is pretty easy, when you have it all in 1 compiler
asciilifeform: incidentally diana_coman et al might find the paste interesting -- it demonstrates, also, ada/c glue.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: More likely de-Obamatizing
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 15:46 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-02#1635918 << i suspect alf has a very strong bias pro algae and anti bacteria. i'm not altogether convinced the view has any merit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: best analogy i can think of -- 'xerocopy of xerocopy...'
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu knows very well that puritan reich does not 'supply whores in paris', or even in bmore. instead it sacks inconvenient presidents, generals, etc. under the guise of 'immoral conduct unbefitting officer' for simply having been seen to fuck something
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last i heard, ideological purity was the #1 thing there. and something like 10-20% of admissions were reserved for the Officially Sad, and similar number -- for heirs of previous generation of mandarins
danielpbarron: but i think even if you accidentally agree to use changes, it'll put them in a ._* hidden file that you still have to manually mv to the correct place

a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 01:27 mircea_popescu: dos is probably the last capsulable item. and it has no broadband.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 01:23 mircea_popescu: trinque kinda my thinking. gentoo === ubuntu, and for that matter === windows. not really better, just "different".
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it doesn't cure gcc5ism, no
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 21:36 gabriel_laddel: $$ later tell dina_corman gentoo distfile backups

a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 00:38 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: could one pull down an older portage archive and run from that forever? although forsaking updates?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: say moar?
asciilifeform: btw ben_vulpes et al : might be worthwhile to find the last uninfected ver. of xorg.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3d gpu on linux is lost cause ages ago
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and likewise no one ( or at the very least, nkt asciilifeform ) knows of a moment in time when it was wholly healthy, with 0 wormy bits
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik there has never existed a full portage archive. some crud or other is always 'elsewhere'.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you've had this tried?

a111: Logged on 2017-06-04 17:40 mircea_popescu: bunch of old women are supposed to manage to misrepresent their trite idiocies as hip and "universal consensus", though the unlikely venue of marking reddit user groups as spam and deleting shit people said on twitter.
