that, found MP's article, googles

b6: Through
the most recent f2pool ddos,
to be exact.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to a whole lot of gargle,
the list of +ev usage is ~empty.
☟︎ phf: but i'm going
to drop
the subject, i'm being
tedious and i need
to pass out anyway
phf: BingoBoingo: oh i wasn't saying it's harmful, i was saying
that when coffee stops working, perhaps it's
time
to
take amphetamines, since it's a cleaner and longer productive high. of course with a history of substance abuse of any kind it is perhaps not a good idea (same people who drink coffee by
the litre, start eating amphetamines, etc.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol so apparently r/btc moderator
turned out
to be con man,
took donations
to hash, kept donations since classic doomed anyway.
BingoBoingo wonders what could be so harmful about drinking less coffee con a daily basis
than I often did vodka
phf: from
the study of dynamic systems, "researches put more wood on kindling, create big fire. more wood is good for fire!" "researches put more wood on massive fire, fire suffocates. less wood is good for fire!"
BingoBoingo: Well, grandpa did smoke into his late 60's
to early 70's
mircea_popescu is vaguely bracing himself for discovery
that
tobacco essential for healthy, cca 2050 or so
mircea_popescu: well nobody seriously wants
to contemplate
that hey, 19 haplogroups, 100+ subgroups each, subgroups of subgroups, and serious
test of "is coffee good or bad" needs 1mn+ subjects
phf: so does any other arbitrary chain of biochemical events
that some
team somewhere decides
to investigate. it's
the mutual interaction of
those events
that makes
the entire system not amenable
to reasoning
phf: in a correlation/causation world of pop medicine here's
ten
things
that you need
to know about new use for an old drug
that's all
the rage
BingoBoingo: Well, supposedly coffee is good for
the liver
phf: it was mostly a rhetorical question, i just
think
that once you cross certain line with a substance, perhaps it's worthwhile
to
try something different. but since coffee guzzling is mostly done from lack of attention, perhaps it's not a good idea
☟︎ phf: some good parties you go
to
BingoBoingo: How would I know if I did have a history of
that?
phf: i
thought aa mostly object
to other substances only as much as
they
trigger alcohol abuse. unless you have a history of mixing alcohol and speed,
there shouldn't be any crossover
BingoBoingo: phf: Because
that would be bad for my sobriety
phf: i don't mind
the idea, but, if you need
this much coffee, why not just
take amphetamines?
phf: that evokes images of a decisive cup, rationed coffee as a boost for man's will in harsh conditions. most of
the coffee experience i'm surrounded with is not like
that at all. office workers on a litre a day, hipsters with artisanal pourovers,
three jobs just
to keep up crowd on a dunken donuts extra large. not much keeping up with nature
BingoBoingo: Well coffee helps when keeping up with all
the rest of nature
phf: i'm always reminded of
that movie where i guy was living among wolves, every morning he'd drink a lot of coffee and make rounds
BingoBoingo: They gotta understand
that when man can mark
territory with
their weight in piss it is man's world.
phf: BingoBoingo sets own yard on fire
to settle a long running dispute between cat and fox in favor of man
BingoBoingo: I go out front
to see what
the fuss is and
the cat shoots out of
the
tree and under a car while
the fox shoots off into a
the park
BingoBoingo: the
turf, one well lit front yard.
The combatants a vocal orange neighborhood cat and a fox
BingoBoingo relishes in
that feeing of power
that follows one's presence ending a
turf war.
phf: well, yeah, all
those hoops i jumped
through, compiling anything non-trivial would kick in fans at 60000
phf: maybe i can get away with running 10.9 for
the next five years at which point b-a will have its own scheme-81 clean room, yeah?
phf: but
the whole exercise feels a bit hair shirt
phf: i have a borrowed carbon x1
that i'm hoping
to make use of. guy was running ubuntu on it, and clean slackware install at
the very least doesn't exhibit particularly aberrant behaviors
phf: mircea_popescu: extreme case of "tom knight and
the lisp machine", doing
things with no understanding hoping
to produce desired effect
phf: oddly enough doing
that same PEEK/POKE after
the linux framebuffer kicked in would blankscreen
the machine.
phf: i gave up because integrated intel card and ati card combination required some fancy grub PEEK/POKE combination, and i didn't want
to do grub
phf: well,
that's why i'm back on mac os x in defeat
phf: manually forcing cpu
to run in save as much battery mode
phf: ati card, bus
that it sits on, wifi, sd card slot, firewire slot, hdmi, bus
that
those sit on
phf: most of
the
time i spent setting up linux on macbook pro was
tracing and eliminating overheating problems
DicePower: Ahh okay,
thought I had
to decode
that hash
thing.
punkman: what,
the history of "utter failure"
assbot: Jean-Marie Le Pen on
Twitter: "Si j’étais américain, je voterais Donald
TRUMP… Mais que Dieu le protège !" ... (

punkman: asciilifeform: wtf would
that even mean ? << other crazy fsf people
that want
to be rms
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps he has become a lichen as he aged. Half man half malassezia since
the
toe jam incident.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: i suspect
that it is a js
thing << look at
the page source. no js, just a href anchors.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: is rms hawking
these
turds himself ? cui bono from
this misdirection ?
BingoBoingo: Is
the heatsink appropriately copper colored or is it laminated with
tar?
pete_dushenski: "SSD UBER rates are higher
than disk rates, which means
that backing up SSDs is even more important
than it is with disks.
The SSD is less likely
to fail during its normal life, but more likely
to lose data." << from punkman's link.
pete_dushenski: fwiw b-a logs always and everywhere seem
to link correctly. maybe eulora logs need some of
that kako magic pixie dust ?
mircea_popescu: course i'm not installing fucking zorin or w/e
the
thing is called
