mircea_popescu: there's nothing special about
the various clones of bill de blasio
that prevents
them from being made into soap.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note
that
technically,
the machine can be powered on anything. soviets dekulakized
the very dekulakizers at least
twice ; mao did it at least once,

target << check out
the premonitory quality of

BingoBoingo enjoys
the "actual damages" getting nice round numbers while punitive damages get a decimal point
jurov: "Children carry more
than 72 known diseases. A bite or scratch can be fatal."
BingoBoingo: I
thought JCVD was supposed
to keep
these
things from happening in Belgium because Action Movie!

The Guardian ... (

assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 00:16:30; asciilifeform: (the real question is why usg would ever admit
to it - whole point of
the charade was
to build precedent-setting verdict. i suppose
this outcome became in doubt, and whole
thing was brought
to what is intended as a quiet burial ?)
mod6: i'll have
to keep picking away at it.
mod6: works, seems will
take some getting used
to
though.
mats: a wasps nest could be good, however, i am not strong in
the crafting arts
mats: (idea with prior is, folks see portrait,
then coworker, wonder why a dead man is walking around)
mats: but, i am open
to proposals
mats: my best idea is
to print a hi-res portrait of a coworker and put something like 'January 1985
to March 2016' at
the bottom,
then hide in
the office somewhere
mats: i found a 24x36in wooden frame and currently looking for pranks
to play with it (apr1 is fast approaching)
mircea_popescu: and we don't even have
the fucking conceptual girder
to even comprehend what
the rationale'd be on (in
terms of, what are
the primitives)
mircea_popescu: and we won't even fucking know
the standard is anything but elaborate cumcake until
the rationale part stands up.
mircea_popescu: did everyone see
the funarg funerales argentinos
thing ?
mod6: right,
they said something about C/C++/et.al
that have a loop construct such as 'do/while' 'for' 'foreach' etc, as a defect in
the lang. lol
mod6: is
tail recursion always defined such
that
there are O(n) steps in O(1) space?
mod6: Ada 95 Reference Manual. Language and Standard Libraries: International Standard <<
this one
mod6: yeah, flipping
through
the book -- it's pretty dense.
mod6: oh i got
that one ref manual from 95
mod6: eh, im sure if i get
the hang of its conventions, etc., i'll get somehow masochistically into it.
mod6: i've bee working my way
though all
the examples in sicp
mod6: yeah, i'd seen
the name before, but never heard anything about it until you were
talkin about it. now it interests me because bitcoin needs
to work better
than a goddamn 777
mod6: there have been,
three people iirc
that have pasted
their passwords in here
mod6: sounds like
the right idea
mod6: kill or maim, Ada is
the correct choice.
mod6: If
the software must absolutely work wit
mod6: oh yeah,
this first link is a
trove of examples. nice.
mod6: thanks for
the pointer asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: go,
tell
three year old
that
the sky isn't a
thing, pristina rosa, all
that.
mircea_popescu: much long ago, when chet was a young woman, with children like many here she
tried
to prepare herself, like many here
try. so she had an answer all ready for
the eventual inevitable moment her oldest was going
to inquire why
the sky is blue.
phf: give me here on a platter
the head of john
the baptist
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>
trinque: idea was
to play stupid & set judicial precedent in favour of arbitrary do-what-we-say orders << i
think
trinque is much closer
to
the facts of
the field. beast doth not know what it wants not merely for
the provable impossibility of such a want, but mostly for absence of a want organ.
mircea_popescu: but if you asked me i'd have
thought mine was romanian
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> phf: you may have been
thinking of bash.org ? << i don't
think he is and i have a vague recollection of
this from
the very early 2000s
that i also can't place
phf: asciilifeform: etsy as failed woman minimax, sort of
the opposite of
theorems
mircea_popescu: she can integrate now, and it didn't even
take
that many whippings.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i once met a young girl who
thought she is no good with math. she was creative you see, and on her grave was
to be inscribed a vintage purse rather
than a badly unresolved equation.
mircea_popescu: trinque> guy even knows how
to ghost his nick << nice stuff.
phf: asciilifeform: so i actually made an effort
to go
through my notes and found it immediately,
http://2lmc.org/spool/. they nuked
their entire log and just one static page remains, hmm
phf: asciilifeform: nah, was actual blog, i started reading it when it had coherent
topical posts, but studying
their history, it started as snippets and gradually acquired features. like early posts were straight up logs, later names were stripped and only
text from "posters" retained, etc.
