mircea_popescu: i saw it in frieda and i
thought it's prolly
the role, right ?
mircea_popescu: btw danielpbarron here's a nice idea for article : step by step guide
to run your own wp on pogo.
BingoBoingo: I guess #b-a is
the most ecumenical religious gathering around
BingoBoingo: I
thought it involved collecting more devil worshipping redheads
than I've managed
to cage
mircea_popescu: those are heretics even according
to
the orthodox (which literally says -
TRUE FAITH. in
the name!)
mircea_popescu: it's only
THEM
that don't get along, it's not about him.
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda waiting for
the lulzy moment when "the community" decides he's you know, religious nut bla bla,
then it's revealed he hangs out just fine with flaming iconoclasts such as yours
truly, famous stake-in-butt practitioners like alf, sunni muftis like yourself, cascadians and what other scandalous outrages
there be in
this here menagerie
BingoBoingo: Or he'll have
to graduate from Wordpress and lead #b-a
to a new blogware planet
BingoBoingo: I suspect it will have
to graduate from a pogo
to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in
the next few months.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Yea so you are an idiot.
There’s no need
to comment and make
these shitty articles. Who are you
to determine what “false churches” are? Religion is something an Indevidul believes in. It is what
the said person puts
their faith and
trust in. I just
think you should read up and do your research before posting nonsense.
Thanks."
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm kinda curious what comes of
this danielpbarron blog in
the end.
phf: soviet joke. americans purchase a sukhoi airplane from soviets, comes in parts,
there's assembly instructions
though. so
they go
through
the process, result is a working
tractor. wtf.
they break it down, assemble again,
tractor again. so
they call russian, "wtf,
tried assembling all we get is a
tractor", su responds "please read fine print, `the product needs
to be finalized with a judicial application of hammer and file`"
BingoBoingo also seriously considered voting Bernie for
the lulz
BingoBoingo ended up voting for
the creepy cuban cowboy in
the absence of useful polling data
BingoBoingo: Anyways I cast my ballot on paper
that was machine read.
jurov: lol so
then my education was started by
trying
to free conventional memory by moving a virus
to
the highmem
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo on
the basis of
that
tidbit alone you'd be logically correct.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: My position is and continues
to be
that
Trump is merely and agent of Clinton
mircea_popescu: you'd expect
the anti-lizard fellow
to be anti-diebold definitionally and before anything else. "either paper
trial or no vote
took place",
phf: i started my purposeful computing education by accidentally nuking windows 95 install while
trying
to get rise of
the
triad
to work!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, since you're maybe
the only guy here
that actually gas re us politics : admitting for
the sake of
this argument
that
trump really is
the you know,
tell-it-how-it-is, fight back against
the system independent bla bla : what does
the fact
that he isn't making "electronic votes are not a sufficient way
to settle
this election" a central part of his campaign ?
mircea_popescu: like it or not -
the prince of persia curricula is how a country
the size of oregon ended up providing half
the engineers hired by microsoft.
phf: the purity of scheme continuations! so
they let you move execution context into an arbitrary location in
the past? yeah! congratulations, you just implemented haf a goto
mircea_popescu: only
to implement gotos by another name in everything all
the
time
phf: i've been coding gwbasic on my libretto. i remember a bearded su closed research facility forth guy was
telling me "basic rots
the brain, man, we get
these developers who are forever ruined, i
tell you"
that was in 96. i wonder what he
thinks of present crop...
mircea_popescu: i guess
the point i'm getting at is
that
teaching
technology is always and everywhere a secondary concern
to
the human quality of
they being
taught.
BingoBoingo in k-12 watched computer
training degrade from
turtle graphics on Apple II,
to adobe dreamweaver/flash on Crapple OSuX
mircea_popescu: ~1/3 of
the kids figured out how
to give
themselves infinite lives by
trashing
the ram.
phf: prince of persia would be a step up from
the "haaweeey kids i'm ratty
the friendly rat and i'm going
to
teach you, 15 year old adults, about long division. it's haaaaard!"
mircea_popescu: of course, meanwhile usability and friendliness and utf and reddit happened, so
that no longer works.
BingoBoingo: phf:
The qntra is actually being written on a medical
topic, but I was googling
the "war on computing" link and was pleasantly surprised when qntra was #1
phf: concepts "IF you see a wall
THEN
turn left!"
phf: BingoBoingo: i've not read
the article yet, but
truth is, i'm yet
to meet a
teacher at a conference who's at all qualified
to
teach computing
to kids. at best
the approach is entirely experiental, "when you see a
tiger^W^Wa popup, you should run away^W^Wcall a
teacher" or "
https stands for secure!", and
the educational
tooling is at best an inferior rip off of Scratch but more likely a scattershot gamification of hodge podge algorithmic
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
this model exists and is of anthropological relevancy proves
that yes, categorically impossible.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 18:18:07; asciilifeform: what's it got
to do with
time..?
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 16:44:44; asciilifeform: already i work in a shop where
the modem hiccups and 80% work - stops...
mircea_popescu: shoot as many as you'd like,
the sort of sniveling cur
that'd become a preacher is abundently provided by
the perl cunt.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 16:40:39; asciilifeform: from
the pov of
the 1970s central planner lizards,
the
turn from 'pay per cpu cycle'
timesharing phyootoore
to personal comp was a mistake
mircea_popescu: (institutul de
tehnica de calcul, one of cluj's
tallest buildings, certainly its only proper office building for a few decades (complete with cubicals!) and one of
the places where ro was going
to be defended informationally from
the us!)
phf: i've been
to education conferences, and i hafta
tell ya, it's not very good
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 16:34:43; asciilifeform: operator would ritually
take out, re-seat
the cards, kick
the
thing, etc.
phf: ben_vulpes: i dunno, i've seen some pathological cases in json readers, "too nesty" at 10kb could be one of
them
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 03:49:42; ben_vulpes:
the 'umble shoemaker, dedicated
to sitting on his ass and never doing anything, will starve in
this
town until he
turns
to making fashionable shoes with heels and lace instead of
the sturdy
things in which men
tromp
through mud.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432848 << for
the record,
this is a lot weaker
than it seems, for reasons discussed but perhaps worth repeating : it is so
trivial
to
transform all
txn into a high/low-S of one's choosing,
that
there exists no actual barrier due
to it.
ben_vulpes: holmes i can read 10mb of json into memory naively and not even begin
to sweat
the phone.
ben_vulpes: i cannot imagine what is going on over
there.
ben_vulpes: "the blob is like 10kb -- is
that
too much?"
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 01:45:38; mircea_popescu: (perhaps
this is obivous
to me only for some god-forsaken reason, but
the next step after
the view on
the bitcoin protocol
that it permits miners
to arbitrarily reject
txn and
the collusion of miners is - you gotta get a license
to bitcoinate. why hardfork
to increase
their revenue, even.)
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 01:34:13; mircea_popescu: which is how and why chetty's passing bumped her
trust in my eyes
to 10 : not because she's "very good" now, but because she lacks any further capacity
to surprise anyone. at least so goes
the logic.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 01:03:18; mircea_popescu:

this is a complicated proposition.
the
traditional avenue of
the dedicated
tramp is
to join a group, liberally fuck anyone but
the alpha of
that group, insist
that
the alpha marry her.
this presses a very strict choice on
the alpha
that's not
trivially resolved - if he kills her everyone else loses a fuckdoll ; if he marries her he's fucked, n
thestringpuller: except
the most resilient who set up
the "web environment" on
the LAN and
then do dev
that way.
thestringpuller: hahahaha! what a familiar feeling. if internet goes out at small shop
that does "web dev", everyone pretty much goes home.
jurov: then why central planners allowed win 3.x
to happen? everyone was supposed
to run X11 over dialup!
