mircea_popescu: we had a few, but they eventually married asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: but nice going on the boundry checking lol. srsly, it works.
mircea_popescu: the worst a slutty pharaoh can give you is a little itchin'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you like to buy my "how to get laid in egypt if you had a time machine" guide ?
mircea_popescu: and moreover... the product is not deployed. any disclosure is responsible by definition
mircea_popescu: most of the trilema that's not written in vi is written in nano
mircea_popescu: it's not even anything else than *i don't think i could be bothered to use compuers at all without that*
mircea_popescu: that's the happy medium here, i tell you : hack the shit in c, then re-write it in lisp once it's in any seriousness going to be used by others for anything
mircea_popescu: rather than take my ability away to write five bad lines of regex until i finally get grep to find what i wanted in the logs
mircea_popescu: imh&uo, what's needed is a way to convert exploratory code from c to lisp, and have all old shit in lisp
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform will you be terribly annoyed with me if i point out that in fact the "run fast and without making sense" approach appeals ?
mircea_popescu: what are you, from the 50s ? this is the 21st century, work relations are fluid.
mircea_popescu: what am i, a highschool teacher, send me crap in double spaced comic sans fiont ?
mircea_popescu: suppose you just write the elevator speech in the next five minutes
mircea_popescu: i am however not transforming this into "please send me anon emails". you want to critique it, either publish it on cryptome, that critique, or on your blog, which i may eventually read if you're anybody
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 dude. i sent a letter to the guy running cryptome. because i know he's qualified. he published it. i see no problem with this. i am more than willing to extend the welcoming of critique to his readership, because if he judged this is a good idea i'm going on his hand.
mircea_popescu: just, anyone who is [excessively] preocupied with written form and style to the possible detriment of meaning = calophile
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it just denotes the general preocupation. doesn't have to be a poem
mircea_popescu: it's a love of the form of phrase, unrelated to meaning. a fixation with getting aliterations and formal perfection.
mircea_popescu: hm i guess im the only one knowing what calophilous is supposed to mean.
mircea_popescu: benkay don't worry, the past two dozen lines were all a setup for me to say "become benkay"
mircea_popescu: see if benkay sends me a proposal ima prolly read it. but you're not benkay.
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 i don't have it in mind, you have it in mind. whatever it is in your mind that makes you think i could conceivably give a shit about your proposal.
mircea_popescu: that stock answer is, join here, build the relationship you seem to imagine you already have, talk after.
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 i didn't see it. i just have a stock answer to all those that insist to aproach me personally as if we have some sort of a relationship.
mircea_popescu: therer you go asciilifeform. "is mp a psychopath ?!?!?!" "definitely! he aims to destroy our shit!!1"
mircea_popescu: " If you deny people the opportunity to defend something they feel is under threat, however, some people go completely insane with rage and actually believe that you threaten them on purpose and that you willfully seek to destroy something very valuable to them."
mircea_popescu: ce you have nothing to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware that you have been taken for a ride before it is over and you "lost".
mircea_popescu: and get through such experiences. Most people are not willing even to /listen/ to arguments or information that could threaten their comfortable view of their own existence, much less think about it, so when you cannot answer a C programmer's "arguments" that his way of life is just great the way it is, it is a pretty good sign that you let him set the agenda once he realized that his way of life was under threat. Sin
mircea_popescu: Getting C programmers to understand that they cause the computer to do less than minimum is intractable. They would not /use/ C if they understood this point, so if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of a discussion, you will only make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hate to break it to you but crotch levels vary
mircea_popescu: anyway, please everyone don't read my supersikrit business idea
mircea_popescu: so the morning after her nails are white, and two weeks later it's bleedin' purple
mircea_popescu: they should totally make these nailpolishes to react to whatever fuck hormones chicks have,
mircea_popescu: fluffypony at the rate you're ghoing she's going to be here to cuss us all out in person.
mircea_popescu: you hate girls that are too scatterbrained to buy nailpolish so they end up with hands in different colors ?
mircea_popescu: this obnoxious pretentiousness where "you" have an idea and x has money and you're now equals is like... dream on, you'll be on sex and the city
mircea_popescu: then, maybe, perhaps, possibly, you actually have a name
mircea_popescu: then maybe they give you the great opportunity to give the manother one. also for free.
mircea_popescu: dude get out. you got no money you're giving your entire idea away entirely for free to the people who have money.
mircea_popescu: and i do mean great, not in the sense of "tinker joe thinks this rocks after two beers".
mircea_popescu: fluffypony if you stick around here you'll see great ideas being given away for free multiple times a week
mircea_popescu: nobody notices what the bums do in the holes they inhabit, nobody notices what "ideas" anon ppl "have" etc.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the anonymous enjoys perfect secrecy of their ideas anyway.
mircea_popescu: if you keep pretending like you call the shots i'll simply ignore you.
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 no, i merely pointed you out to here. i'm still not going to pm with you, and that's not likely to change.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform noob nagum. he thought security theatre was taking too much time in 2000
