phf: i suspect because the 90s hackers were a lot more mainstream, i mean they had prodigy and orbital, rollerblades and spray painted laptops. i guess wargames is from the time when nerds weren't "cool" at all, though they did have progressive rock, so i guess that counts for something..
phf: i wonder if some decades are not really destined for a general come back, like the 70s
phf is actually going to HOPE, which was always a parody of a "hacker culture", coming as it is from 2600 circles, but at it's in new york and it's an opportunity to spend time with my new york friends. last time i was at HOPE that was 2010 or so, when the whole theme was g.w.bush as 1984/hitler. at least hope delivers in lulz department. wozniak is going to be there, signing apple ii's or whatever.
phf: there was an occasional poc||gtfo speaker doing not necessarily particularly sophisticated, but at least aesthetically pleasing hacks. and of course you could meet oldfags in the hallways. but even back then you could see that the community is being replaced by martin marlinspooks with throngs on millennial sycophants, but at least you could avoid them if you wanted to. i heard that's no longer the case.
mircea_popescu: i suppose one could just doctor the strings.
asciilifeform: and i have c64 etc
mircea_popescu: i still had my old z80s in a drawer somewhere well into the 3rd millenium
asciilifeform: 'this os/2 box still runs, why should i change it'
asciilifeform: when i ditch the last glibctronic gentoos, it won't be a day too soon.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i considered making a http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2295 -style canned gentoo out of my dulap trad-gentoo, but really would rather switch to trinque's item when it is baked
trinque: toggled by the rsync-verify use flag, not that I'm excusing it.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-05 00:46 asciilifeform: i dun recall if i mentioned : as of coupla wks ago, no moar 'emerge portage' on asciilifeform's-ban-masks gentoo boxen : it now ~demands~ gpg2 turd.
mod6: maybe it's different now. i'll see what I can find out.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, after thinking about it a bit, I don't remember seen "booths" like I was thinking of there. was at least 15 years ago though.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-28#1830546 << lol missed this, but nao i'm curious, mircea_popescu , how come the 'wolf men' duncount as islamic ? << Perros no son halal. Perros son haram! ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-28#1830546 << lol missed this, but nao i'm curious, mircea_popescu , how come the 'wolf men' duncount as islamic ? ☝︎
mod6: I follow the republic log, down through all the sarc; listening to the lords exchaaange.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, i dunno how isolate. "Joƶalla ya marşo" looks exactly like gypsy.
mircea_popescu: well i mean... it was kindof a fiume republic neh ?
phf: asciilifeform: since you're a fan of these kind of homepages, here's one i found today http://www.quadibloc.com
BingoBoingo also ought to do a review of the camera I arrived with
BingoBoingo: Likewise furing the rest of Uruguay's games, I have agreed to sit in the exact same chair I occupied the previous matches.
mircea_popescu: lol. i can see it.
BingoBoingo: Maybe for the second year's week off. I have a whole list of shit in range of the nice buses I've been hearing about for months and have yet to see.
BingoBoingo: Further that Maduro fellow needs to register a key here. I have yet to have a bad arepa.
BingoBoingo: I need to look again. I tried to find it in December, but everyone I meet here seems to only be aware of the nuts. I suspect the cashew has a strong nut/fruit divide
mircea_popescu: i always suspected us airforce preceded me.
mircea_popescu: i'm happy with my set, enough so as to not hire male drivers.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, i am not responsible for moronia recruiting the wrong chicks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was speaking of the living, lol
asciilifeform: so far all i know is re the tailhook thread.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know there's a quote for this, and it goes like "Just because females could endure anything does not mean they should is my view I suppose"
mircea_popescu: i am seriously considering buying her a racer if i ever europe again.
asciilifeform: ( for all i knew , the 'she' was also a trained all-terrain racer , etc )
mircea_popescu: well ok, but i like 'em tall.
asciilifeform: could then be proverbial 'stopped clock shows right time', then. i've nfi.
mircea_popescu: but i thought the argument was as to difference, rather than "any driver"
asciilifeform: prolly bad example, nao that i think of it, pretty much any multidecade driver, incl. asciilifeform , would've handled the eggog correctly, in 50ms ( allowing for length of his legs )
mircea_popescu: i never taught anyone how to drive, i don't even drive myself.
mircea_popescu: "utterly fucking broken down system of major complexity -- i have identified correct way out and the pedal goes down"
asciilifeform: i am not equipped to discern. all i got, is what's visible from my perch thus far.
asciilifeform: arbitrarily deeply trainable in specifics, but they tend to collapse under 'this system i did not even know existed, has broken down', is my impression.
mircea_popescu: i don't see this.
mircea_popescu: yes, but it ain't about "minor unexpected" either. it's that i was there, it has everything to do with me and how much she wants to please/impress/etc.
asciilifeform: but about ability to deal with the unexpected, the nonstandard. this i see as measure of 'capital S' skill.
mircea_popescu: not at all. what, i don't give physics crash courses upon admission.
asciilifeform: i can only presume that the subj gurl was as well-taught as any mircea_popescu patient
mircea_popescu: i wasn't saying this at all.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what the link is.
a111: Logged on 2012-08-24 01:31 EmanuelDeOrtego_: I like that there are so many women involved with Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: perhaps a continuation of ballas' point re male nurses, but fucked i be if i can find it again.
mircea_popescu: in less lofty matters, do you happ[en to recall where the fuck i said essentially "women are the societal scar tissue, by the time males start leaving a field and women start joining it, it's fucked" ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno...
asciilifeform: if it had been written to a standard of 'i throw a dart, and you , programonkey, WILL justify the existence of this line, or die' the coadbase would weigh 1MB .
asciilifeform: i deliberately wrote portable proggy. not even married, afaik, to 8bit byte.
asciilifeform: if folx continue to operate 27 pointlessly incompatible platforms, and burn their lives fiddling with otherwise healthy coad to make it go on'em, what can i say, the gods have cursed'em and it is not in my power to uncurse
asciilifeform: and whatever is in my hands that can contribute to the extermination of the pointless babel, i'ma push.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dunno if i will live to see the end of nonstandard iron / os / junkyard wars. but would like to, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect you will rue this day if you were to actually get your way, and at some point in 2118 all the work available consists of "try and write this thing from tree y for tree z, we don't currently know why it's a broken polymorphism to the x tree"
mircea_popescu: i'm saying you're ifdefing it away.
asciilifeform: but possibly i dunno where to look
asciilifeform: i looked in my copy of talmud and did not find ifdefs, lol
asciilifeform: i am unequipped to comment in detail on the rabbis and their planet.
asciilifeform: i cut winblowz #ifdefolade out of trb because i did not read it and don't intend to.
mircea_popescu: i dunno i'd go so far as that, but it definitely isn't great engineering.
asciilifeform: i dun object to junkyard wars -- if and where we must. but there is even there a 'up tree' and 'down tree' approach.
mircea_popescu: would you prefer i called it x86 ?
mircea_popescu: to which alf answers "sorry, i only fuck 19yos, i can't tell you why the tits sag" and i go "sure you do, but other people not as fortunate."
mircea_popescu: because this is all i can make of it, #ifdef 3+5=11moron, let 3+5=8.
a111: Logged on 2016-01-21 13:29 asciilifeform: 'if i make it what i think is the right size, it crashes!111'
mircea_popescu: i am having a major perturbation, and have for weeks. this is just...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am starting to feel exactly like golden age antrhopologists cca 1800s going "how the fuck did these primitives who didn't even sail manage to have ~the same myths~ ?"
mircea_popescu: it's just shocking to me how ~perdurant~ certain thought patterns are. in continuation of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-26#1829978 ; because ~how the fuck~ is it the case i'd find the same stupidity implemented by some orc kids in some video game engine wanna-be as usg's own brahmin german put in the post-zimmermann pgp massacre ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and i recall several diana_coman articles on subj, nao )
mircea_popescu: i do not presently know.
asciilifeform: i have no intention of helping winblowzism to continue.
phf: well, like i said from that perspective there's nothing left to do, cygwin is not supported.
mircea_popescu: my first step would be "omfg take that cygwin out". but as per phf's, since i'm not doing it...
mircea_popescu: and in practice, too. Mocky 's out there trying to run a eulora toolchain on windows i think, peterl trying to vtool on cygwin, etc
asciilifeform: i am not equipped to test the e.g. ppc routines; and ill-equipped to study'em and certify. and really if somebody wants'em badly, he oughta make use of v and make his branch.
mircea_popescu: the signature is as to reading, ie, performative, i joe did this. it is not as to the world, ie, declarative, "sticks and stones won't break your bones".
phf: asciilifeform: i'm still unconvinced by this line of argument, and not on technical merits. i think there's a point that i can't articulate, about what it is that you're signing exactly. an if-def-less code suffers from the same problem that you're trying to apply to ifdef specifically. i can't sign that printf is not malicious on the target machine.
phf: mircea_popescu: it was more of a tongue in cheek, since i think that asciilifeform is tediously relentless on this particular point
mircea_popescu: phf the "considering that no one but myself have signed vtool" argument is disingenuous in the sense that of telling sons "considering i'm the only one fucking anything...". dami tempu ca ti pirtusu
phf: well, in principles i'm not buying the untested code signing argument, because we don't have a universal measure for what code signing indicates. you've attempted to solve that problem, but it's not been used by anyone. i think right now effectively code signing works like a wot rating, without a rating. you have to consult with the signer to discover what the intent was.
asciilifeform: i've prolly signed a #ifdef DEC_PDP11 piece of shit at some point. dun mean it ain't a sin.
phf: considering that no one but myself have signed vtools i'm not too worried about that part
mircea_popescu: i hope you're as impressed as me with the nude and rude, "ask a question, get an answer, this isn't fucking about".
asciilifeform: still seems like 'if yer sexing requires anaesthesia, yer doing sumthing wrong' but what do i know.
asciilifeform: i abolished it in trb ( rotor ) , ave1 -- for gnat, and really ought to end with the logical conclusion, standard cuntoo musl/headers/gcc.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 15:16 PeterL: hi, I was just trying to build the vtools, and I ran into this problem: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AuLgQ/?raw=true
BingoBoingo: I have my doubts that they do. They ones who do it here are mostly bums getting hight off of low content waste products.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi
mircea_popescu: and, of course, genetics. i wonder why alf's "drunk" booze level is samoan's "dead" booze level.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the world is full of junkies going "he-he, 1 gram cocaine ld50, i once bla bla bla". yes, obviously, if you do enough it stops doing anything whatsoever eventually. but in civillians...
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, ~none of it makes any sense
asciilifeform: iirc i saw a photo of such a cheap trick in a ru prison smuggling discussion
mircea_popescu: i don't get the hairbrushes twist. is cocaine supposed to look like dandruff or what ?!
mircea_popescu: i said wot.
