mircea_popescu: and
the problem with narratives is
the same problem
train
tracks have : 20 miles away from
the
track is much further
than 200 miles DOWN
the
track
mircea_popescu: because
the
thing is so complicated it encourages people
to approach it
through narratives rather
than observation
mircea_popescu: i don't
think many people actually understand how bitcoin works.
mircea_popescu: check it out - socialists agree it's
the victim's fault!
mircea_popescu: "The ?little guy? now possesses a large amount of anger about
the political system
that doesn't work for him, which shouldn?t be surprising since he repeatedly voted against his own interests during
the republican
tenure. " <<< aaaahahahaha.

than satoshi's, i
tried

thanks ben_vulpes , I'll have a look; it's been ages since I last wrote anything in Scheme as such, but if
there's a chance of moving
the client away from cpp it's certainly worth having a look at
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 08:05:44; punkman: I'd help rig it up if
the foundation so wishes
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 07:36:07; ben_vulpes:
this is probably a purposes and causes
thing, huh. avoid working
towards
the purpose of usable software for other people, and proceed from
the cause of "hell is other people's code"...
mircea_popescu: "crooked
timber" puts it
too lightly by about
two biological regnums.
mircea_popescu: the stuff women spawn into
this world is simply out of
this world in its broken, surprisingly counterfunctional variety
mircea_popescu: he who has been a
teacher will not be amused at
the zoo.
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 14:46:32; asciilifeform: 'who has been in
the army, does not laugh in
the circus' (tm) (r) (su)
mircea_popescu: you can't sit
there all day laughing your ass off at
the endless parade of idjits
mircea_popescu: the
thing with being a
teacher is
that it
trains you
to neglect so much lols.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the difference lies in
the meaning of "touch"
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 07:35:23; ben_vulpes: is everyone who hacks on
this
thing
to write and use
their own vtronic cockpit controls? or is
the production of /a/ vtron usable in other contexts a goal?
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 07:27:47; punkman: why I kept saying
that I don't like release patches
that
touch *everything*
mircea_popescu: computing gets
to grow a fucking indoor voice and progress out of orcdom.
mircea_popescu: a large stack of various items all designed
to
talk into
the void. how is
this a computer ?
mircea_popescu: and similarly no program replay and for
the same reason etc.
mircea_popescu: the derps making osen
treat
the scrollback as a wholly separate, contextual-less buffer. it's not "what we just said
to
this guy"
mircea_popescu: "seriously, you can't repeat what you said
to me ? slaves get caned for
this!" "but but but mp, it is a computer, it can't save an infinity of stuff" "WHY
THE FUCK ARE YOU MAKING A MACHINE SAY INFINITY OF STUFF
TO ME" "well it's not really infinite, just..." "bring
the cane"
mircea_popescu: the item figures prominently in my own mental list of nonsense ;
that list is an essential part of why alf's raging against computing makes sense
to me.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 07:14:35; *: ben_vulpes goes digging
through
the gui for "never ever fucking
toss my scrollback option"
mircea_popescu: and re saltmarshes,
the cannonical line being of course "Die Schweden die haben verflucht schlechtes Geld, wer weiß ob der Oestreicher besseres hält."
mircea_popescu: pretty sure it was in odessa
too. kids
tend
to eat
them - sour stuff, makes
them sick.
mircea_popescu: nah,
they're
the fruits of a plum-like wild plum
tree, grows everywhere
the hasids go
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha quite possibly. you keep
trying
to bite corcoduse.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 14:27:50; mircea_popescu: and
thinking about it on
the way from bed
to machine, because
this idea woke me up : it seems deedbot and
the ml management really should be merged. any conceivable reason patches can't be submitted via deedbot's mechanism ? not necessarily
to remove
the email feeding, but as an add-on ?
mircea_popescu: or, "people whose main impulse when confronted with an excuisite jeweled item is
to rip out
the jewels"
mircea_popescu: by and large, "people who do not feel comfortable living inside
the wall".
mircea_popescu: i follow
the palaiologos
tradition. whereby
the orcs are a slightly more complex
thing.
mircea_popescu: there's absolutely nothing human about
the sandvaginated saltmarshes.
mircea_popescu: ((the stupid women line in western europe is sometimes called
the Hajnal line)
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the american hasids are a sort of jehova's witnesses in a slightly altered color scheme
mircea_popescu: and for
the record : ACTUAL hasidic jews, as found strictly beyond
the pale, were some of
the more pleasant folk you coulde ever meet, and greatly informs my
tolerance of jews, as well as
the
tolerance of everyone who's not born past
the stupid women line in western europe.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 07:13:19; ben_vulpes: punkman: by my read 'rebase' as mircea_popescu uses it means 'dump into
the v
tree'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't know
they expel ru kids for
that
mircea_popescu: i mean
that quite profoundly -
thiel has seen
the narrow horizon of
the pen and contented himself
that "this is everywhere".
mircea_popescu: this is in fact how it works : we, aim
to V
the original lispworld. scum - aims
to systemd wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: he's 2nd generation scum, aims
to systemd
the original scum.
mircea_popescu: worst fucking idea in
the history of ideas, if
they just let jimbo fuck children until he fell over
the world'd have been better off.
mircea_popescu: and it occurred
to me while conducting fart ciclotron reactions in my spare
time
that
there's nothing more dangerous
than an idiot with a little knowledge
mircea_popescu: pretentious fuckwad / out of his weight ignoramus for
the fucking win over here.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it occured
to me while i was eating a niels bohr raisin cake (with little electron raisins floating in
the batter)
that
this is how fucking spammers work,
too. as discussed here a nujmber of
times already.
mircea_popescu: how fortunate are we
to have such bright minds around us. i gotta get myself one of
them bose.
mircea_popescu: but
the very grand intellectualistic value of someone who was watching einsten play out of his bose speakers in his spare
time is well noted, of course.
mircea_popescu: heavens
to herpinstocks,
the idea is older
than
the fucking persian empire.
