mircea_popescu: dulap may be the latest piece of software in actual use that doesn't actually benefit from periodic rebooting
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 02:47:55;
mircea_popescu: i think the latter kids don't really grok this "don't reboot machine " thing
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 19:48:13; asciilifeform: ;;later tell
mircea_popescu potentially interesting observation: dulap has been ~50 blocks behind semi-permanently since reboot. in as far as i can tell, it is not mainly from 'blackholing' but due to cpu starvation! on account of phuctor re-grinding the product...!

mircea_popescu: mkay. lemme explain something about markets to you. the sun is infinitely valuable, to the exclusion of all else. nobody (tm) would consider paying for it, and in no case would they pay anything close to fair value (why this is so should be thermodynamically obvious). meanwhile, ipads have no utility and go for hundreds by the million. on top of them, jackpot machine simulations sell for more $$$.
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 06:54:48;
mircea_popescu: the idea here being that people wouldn't pay for a sane os for the same reason they won't payfor the sun.

mircea_popescu: rearing children is perhaps not so unlike going to reeducation camp for a few years. it "didn't work" on a. solzhenitsyn. it DID work, obviously, on all the schmucks he knows by name but you do not. so...
