asciilifeform: what's it take to can't?
mircea_popescu: check your priviledge bro. there's more people who don't javascript because they can't than the ones who don't because won't.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Listen you, i wont say donk, but spam accusin with no evidence, before accusing someone of using bugs better check with that player why he has so much points, and does he even know why he has so much points. I am sick tired of jelious players who don't know how to play game and everyone else is than using bugs and i don't know what else. SO, Please, what is your igm NICK? I gave you mine. I have 3 words for you - L2P
asciilifeform: 'Since the game is full of bug, it does not mean i don't work hard to get to the first position. My mines is working full power and bring more than 60000 resource per hour'
mircea_popescu: gets better, "i don't know how to fix that 500 error so will close the game"
mircea_popescu: grep for "Ok guys, I found a general failure on the defense system of the game and don't know how to fix that making the game unable to play at this point."
mircea_popescu: just as long as we agree woman doesn't have a prayer.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, lulzy "duel" of talking points from the libtards and really-not-libtards-promise. they all agree russia doesn't matter and that hillary will somehow win the "elections", but you're more than free to connect the rest of the dots any way you please ? hurr durr. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is after all the gambit here. i say they can't.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other omg i can't believe this shit, apparently there's an entire ecosystem built around "faucets". << lol, you've been so sheltered from this fount of idiots
asciilifeform: and wouldn't even consider not having.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-01#1533230 << can't steal potato 'while you sleep!111' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other omg i can't believe this shit, apparently there's an entire ecosystem built around "faucets".
mircea_popescu: the impressive thing, at least to me, is that it is an ideal artefact so utterly interpretable. from a purely political, or religious view it's one thing ; but a purely gnoseologic definition is also available, and it doesn't even have to import "person" or "reality" to work just fine. besides, it can be stated in any other systematic approach one cares to.
shinohai: I don't mind, typing @ noobs = job security.
Yipdard: so you influence peoples but you don't vote
mircea_popescu: besides, i don't vote ; i just publish articles.
Yipdard: don't know how
Yipdard: don't know
Yipdard: amazighs, berbères, don't really know their name in english, there probably don't have one
Yipdard: i said frenchs, not fucking algerians, don't like them
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Don't forget to carry your Kleins, hammer, and other tools of privilege inspection on your belt. Always dress for trabajo
mircea_popescu: why would i have to prevent it ? there's specific space in the design spec for third-party developed maps. they run by whatever rules third party comes up with ; player doens't have to enter it. if he does enter it, client loads up more data.
shinohai: However, vietmanese isn't my specialty
shinohai: We aren't vagabonds here, some of us speak languages besides queen's English
mircea_popescu: people doesn't enter in this conversation, it's not a fucking vote.
shinohai: Well technically there *was* bickering. Some ppl were happy with original, some didn't like >,
mircea_popescu: so then say "sorry, i couldn't maintain my bot to spec" not "bickering. truth helps.
mircea_popescu: yea, it's totally because not paying attention to ~trump~ that place's going to shit. not because not paying attention to the soul eating, all consuming bureaucracy. that's a-ok, will make the country not-great again because it doesn't need to, because to them it's always been great.
mircea_popescu: so i watched a southpark episode last night, it was one about how all the canadians moved to the us because they had elected a trump and canada was turned into a total detroit by his idiocy BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION, and it made me think of http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160831/from:98/to:98#98 ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-09-01 12:31 shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-01#1532863 <<< too much bickering over what trigger characters to use, so don't blame me. I just tried to make nice things.
sellbtctraderz: I am pretty new to this, I have a finger print but can't import it, Do I need any specific user id or password?
shinohai: Didn't get that until late yesterday sorry :/

trinque: he can't stop talking about him
boolcrap: didn't you get the memo
boolcrap: stan why aren't you rich yet
trinque: all these damn kids that can't handle their drugs these days
BingoBoingo: $t m s.mg
mircea_popescu: anyway, not like the problem isn't both well understood and well solved.
asciilifeform: so today there's what, 10,001 derps per minute who 'just want to' but cannot, and aren't worth even a bullet.
pete_dushenski doesn't want to appear ~too~ useful, lest ben_vulpes become overly attracted to this end of the continuum
mircea_popescu: also there's a major problem with abstract criteria. i for instance don't grasp recursion.
asciilifeform: at any rate, this is 'red herring.' nobody's insured against having kid who can't grasp recursion, or even do addition, etc.
asciilifeform: 'hey come and play powerball with me, i haven't won yet but TOGETHER YES WE CAN!1111'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: iirc he doesn't lift random scum off the street to work on.
asciilifeform: https://youtu.be/T9SeOrGni9s?t=31m00s << specifically the fictionalized zherzhinsky pictured here.
mircea_popescu: to quote, "oh no, i wouldn't do THAT. *pause* there MAY have been some instances... in THE PAST! but that's all ancient history now."
mircea_popescu: well actually maybe you don't know, wtf do i know. but anyway, there's a very peculiar thing people/kids do when the inconceivable happens ; like joe di maggio walks into dunkin donuts
BingoBoingo: Haven't looked, but why does it write like a cetain dude broken at conception?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, a large part of what i like about #trilema is that it doesn't consist of above examples.
mircea_popescu: gured out what works and what doesn't in lo all these many years, he never is figuring it out."
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160831/from:95/to:95#95 << i'll leave you with the observation that of the two people i named to chair the bitcoin foundation years ago, one's been doing a lot of work and the other's been doing a lot of hurr. on the continuum between mod6 and pete_d you're ever sliding towards the end opposite to what i'd imagine you're aiming for, and at some point it'll become a matter of, "well, if he hasn't fi
mircea_popescu: yes. the usg.web war on the url for the past decades has been nothing short of indicative. imbeciles are so butthurt about individual control, they can't fucking stand urls. gotta hide them! gotta destroy functionality! god fucking forbid the user is at some point in control of anything!
Framedragger: (i suppose it's better than the new web nonsense where "awesome devbro javascript" retains some info that is not part of the actual url, so you can't change shit and depend on the shitty js interface for navigating around..)
a111: Logged on 2016-08-06 21:00 mircea_popescu: the major problem in poker isn't "fair dealing", it's debotting it. but i have a ready solution for this problem too, and im persuaded it's complete.
trinque: makefiles don't rebuild the buildroot step more than once, so a gentleman could emplace that just as with the deeds, after having built one
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:516/to:516#516 << you seriously don't see the precariousness of this ? if i tomorrow hire a stripper to go to their house and dance until they make it all be in a ruby gem in java, they'll do that, too ?
mircea_popescu: don't stress out eh.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:475/to:475#475 << amusingly he's exactly right, although he doesn't know why. bitcoin hasn't been used by roger ver since cca 2013ish because roger ver has been flat broke ever since then. so no practical need, for him.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I didn't scroll up enough
mircea_popescu: t, and rando "fluffypony" has no say in this matter.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:450/to:450#450 << i don't think the guy personally has any voice into this whatsoever. see also http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:256/to:256#256 on this topic. basically, there's a very fat, dumb man walking around, and it tried to sit on a chair named eth which caught fire. the fat man still wants to sit, and monero is the one thing looking most like a chair available. it WILL si
Framedragger: echo 'Вопрос' | iconv -t cp1251 | iconv -f koi8-r
Framedragger: does, uh, your irc client add a spurious byte just for kicks, or wtf. hm. i also know there are multiple long hyphens / shorter dashes in unicode, maybe some of them don't get recognized by these shit systems
Framedragger: meaning, i won't be doing anything with the full logs (assuming that's what you mean by the artefact) today
Framedragger: damn. www itself is utf-8 proper, but the source of the log (znc) reports that long hyphen as byte 0x96, for whatever reason. this then gets rendered as �. i think i won't dig into znc's mysteries as i'll be planning to move to a different log format anyway (everything to be stored in db for proper search, etc.)
Framedragger: https://github.com/Automattic/_s/ - allegedly it's da modern super minimalist theme with minimal css that one is supposed to hack on. toolbox (marked as 'retired', which doesn't really mean that) on themes.wordpress.org links to _s
asciilifeform: '- You're a great one for the fighting Bill, I know, but you can't fight forever. - I can go down doing it. - And you will. - What did you say? - I said, you're turning you back on the future. - Not our future.'
g_l: I don't know how you expect to get there without going through a complete CLX backend first.
g_l: If you're not interested in CLIM, don't bother. I'm not here to convince you of its utility.
BingoBoingo: <Framedragger> OT: i don't suspect anyone's got any suggestions for a wordpress theme to use (minimalist, gonna be ~3 pages in total, no comment box) for showcasing a newly published (non-electronic) book? << Toolbox. Just delete the comment boxes and other shit. Small theme so easy to fidn everything you want/need to delete.

asciilifeform: and hasn't been since, well, 2012 or so.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: trb and mpex don't make themselves easy to be used by everyone. which YES is a great thing. but it's not because an angelic light shines upon them, repelling all evil.
asciilifeform: they aren't flocking to trb, or mpex, etc.
asciilifeform: and if that doesn't do the trick, consider when object is covered in a pound of flies, does it remain an open question whether it is good to eat ?
g_l: If you don't want the font engine crap, make a new font engine. This is very much doable by a single man.
mod6: i sure as hell didn't wanna have to go back there though for lack of a "good sample".
mod6: i was like, "don't be afraid to squeeze that thing hard."
a111: Logged on 2016-08-30 15:24 mircea_popescu: "i am an engineer" "good for you" "but i'm poor" "then you aren't an engineer ?" "no, i am, it's just... the environment i come from doesn't allow for engineers. this world is so unfair!" "so then... by coming from an environment that doesn't allow for an engineer, you...aren't one ?" "NO SEE, ENVIOUS RAGE! OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN HEAVEN AND I AM IN HELL!!"
asciilifeform: who wouldn't want to live in pirate port, lol
mircea_popescu: wasn't proposing it as an algo, mere eg.
mircea_popescu: "modern democracy" shall we call it likely doesn't.
mircea_popescu: some whores who knew they were whores, and some whores who wasted their life pretending they aren't whores.
mircea_popescu: "i am an engineer" "good for you" "but i'm poor" "then you aren't an engineer ?"

"so then... by coming from an environment that doesn't allow for an engineer, you...aren't one ?" "NO SEE, ENVIOUS RAGE! OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN HEAVEN AND I AM IN HELL!!" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: no, more in the sense of "now they'll either wear suits or come up with complicated arguments as to why they aren't, because either way they very deeply care".
mircea_popescu: conquer china wasn't that.
mircea_popescu: these aren't cancellable.
asciilifeform: so why does it surprise mircea_popescu if folks won't follow a heuristic that was devised in a world which no longer exists ..?
mircea_popescu: which is why the guy gives the girl money in http://trilema.com/2014/the-romanian-language-for-other-people/ but he doesn't pay cristiana in http://trilema.com/2016/il-magnifico-cornuto/
mircea_popescu: this is the whole premise of capitalism : dear retard, don;'t listen to what the priest says to do ; but listen to what the rich guy says to do.
mircea_popescu: the whole capitalism / industrialism model works on the following principle : idiots (by which we mean virtually everyone) are overwhelmed by the complexity of reality, and so resort to societal heuristics. such as you know, "religion", or else "all girls" agreeing that sucking cock is gross in 9th grade and that only farmhands and mongoloids wouldn't do it in 12th grade. these heuristics are weak, and an intelligent guy can
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't trust his decision. that's the point : under 110 or so, you are well advised to not even think about making these sorts of calls.
mircea_popescu: i dun think it ever took me more than a few days to pay for a month of costa rica or whatever, and this if i was particularly persuaded by the "don't eat from capitals" balabusta angle that month.
mircea_popescu: i have just about 0 interest in working for any of the various cans of usg soup. pre tmsr, i actually didn't work much if at all, and in retrospect i understand it's for this exact reason.
mircea_popescu: "the Mist plateau is famous for its thick fogs and beautiful women"... wouldn't you expect this not to be the case ?
Framedragger: OT: i don't suspect anyone's got any suggestions for a wordpress theme to use (minimalist, gonna be ~3 pages in total, no comment box) for showcasing a newly published (non-electronic) book?
mircea_popescu: "if you're not the customer you're the product" "oh yeah, i understand that now" "no you don't" "o look, i hadn't understood it". either you pay, or else you're getting married. these are the options. stop confusing yourself.
mircea_popescu: i can't possibly comprehend why simple logic is so hard in practical application, but. unless he says "gimme 20 btc", what he says is "marry me". there are no possible, understand ~possible~ exceptions to this.
