mircea_popescu: "This is one of
those
things
that seem
true for
those who have gotten spoiled by
the windowing environment.
The reason
this can't be considered
true is

mircea_popescu: “Well, I’m not sure I completely agree
that Slashdot is less vital

assbot: Logged on 29-01-2016 19:02:40; mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
this harkens back
to such a more lovely
time in
the computer lab.
hanbot: oh hey. mod6, i'm ezbake-ovening
that now!
mod6: you just need
to create a .wot dir and place keys in
there,
then (in
the same directory do
this): `./build-bitcoind-v99996.sh`
☟︎ mod6: here are my changes, please review and
try
this out:
mod6: ok folks, my build succeeded with

the shit you boys do just
to get

to
the classic "programmers wanna play and so ruin productivity spending moe

this harkens back
to such a more lovely
time in
the computer lab.

the flow principle described earlier.
