shinohai: I never did AA, I can'

BingoBoingo: The SOP that pissed me off most was fuckers prancing around with their Dainty light beers while playing games like Beer Pong. Bitch if have that kind of muscle coordination left you ain'

☟︎ phf: for all the jokes about russian vodka drinking, the amount of "functional alcoholism" i've seen in ussa is staggering. i literally cut contact with about 70% of my friends from my 20s, because they are slob alcoholics with no self control. so it's either health nuts who don'
t touch the stuff (or rarely) or else it's "50 minutes of квас and then race to the bottom" crowd
☟︎ shinohai: Depends on mood I guess, but I do enjoy it so I didn'
t want to give up *entirely*

t tried Eulora build on Gentoo yet, only got one box w/gentoo
phf: mod6: i don'
t think you understood what we were saying, but certainly nobody's expecting you to grind vpatches as a "service to others", so please don'
t danielpbarron: i can'
t imagine there is a better environment to build and run it in, granted getting a working gentoo might be the hard part

☟︎ mod6: <+phf> asciilifeform: i did, he said something about "this being work in progress and don'
t want to commit" or somesuch << i could regrind them, yeah. ideally, each who want to use these unexamined items should do so on their own accord, placing them in their patches directory as a "WILD" patch. Until the day when the foundation moves forward and folds them in after examination and testing.
☟︎ mod6: pposed to replace it <+phf> instead. obviously this doesn'
t make for pretty graphs, so i don'
t upload it << yup. there's a planned vpatch for this. bunch of discussions. just been focusing my attention on trb build stuff lately.
mod6: <+phf> there's periodically things that claim to be vpatches, but they don'
t have genesis. i think a notable example of that is v.pl, which has been published as v.pl, and then followed up by vpatches that are supposed to superseded each other rather than form a chain. generally i've seen that pattern a lot, people publish something, than publish a second vpatch, that doesn'
t build on previous vpatch, but su
phf: only thing i can'
t figure out with asciilifeform's killfile is how to get laptop to do apm related stuff. the main package depends on dbus
☟︎ shinohai: I literally can'
t make a story on anything last few days
mircea_popescu: that STILL doesn'
t mean bigtoe typing is going to be well regarded.
phf: asciilifeform: i did, he said something about "this being work in progress and don'
t want to commit" or somesuch
mircea_popescu: there's places for flexibility ; but this isn'
t one. i dun even wanna think about "creative" solutions such as "retrocreate a genesis". just god damned it already, take the code, sign it, and then patch on the basis of that.

mircea_popescu: "and as it isn'
t ready or willing to allow clients to cash out... BANKING IS NOT A TAX (says the SCROTUK)
diana_coman: but actually why pairwise only? iirc you can mix up to 16 in one go using a table, no? (if it wasn'
t complicated enough )
ben_vulpes: ohey archive won'
t eat the linkedin lulz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform softness of the target is not even half the story - what helps more is that half the time the derps don'
t even know if they got noise or signal.
mircea_popescu: ok. so basically, they vaguely are aware that project P is made out of parts P1... Pn, although if you take them to task they can'
t really explain it ; and for that matter they're not really aware that "we made n parts for P" really means "we made part 1 six times and part 3 nine times because they were easy to make, we don'
t have any 2, 3, 7, 8 or 9 which means P ain'
t ever EVER working"
mircea_popescu: i suppose there is merit to this point, which is to say, "nutty central command economy mp wouldn'
t have ever come up with harmoniums, because they are stupid."
mircea_popescu: and the contention is that not only not all cuts are worth making in software : this one definitely isn'

phf: fwiw my entire system is poll based. i literally don'
t have any notifications, all are disabled. "i look when i look"
mircea_popescu: 45 different scrolling shits aren'
t specifically better tyhan one.
mircea_popescu: i tell you though, whenever i came into the office of some dude who was literally fucking around with 45 different pieces of paper at the same time, i wouldn'
t think "oh this guy is such a super hero" but rather "ok, this guy's getting fired first."
mircea_popescu: i am seriously sitting here flipping between log and xchat, and i wouldn'
t care to do it another way.
mircea_popescu: "i don'
t need grenade pin safety for anything" "put grenade in your ass, pull it out by pin and write back"
mircea_popescu: ie, you're constructing this experiment to miss out on the stuff that didn'
t exist in 1990.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 16:56 phf: well, i'm more interested in mechanics of it all, since i don'
t believe in lizard hitler. do thugs of both camps meet at the canteen and measure each other up? are they going to embrace mutual scam wholeheartedly? are they going to try and undermine each other in subtle ways?
mircea_popescu: the real situation doesn'
t enter into this, the fictitious situation as presented by usg is the basis.
mircea_popescu: (and what would be the definition of "rogue state" other than that ? "people we don'
t like" ?)
mats: you don'

a111: Logged on 2014-11-14 22:24 asciilifeform: (for n00bs only: who is 'lizard hitler' ? a character approximately as real as magnetic field lines were to michael faraday. don'
t look for magnetic field lines, they aren'
t there. physically. or as far as we can tell, anyway.)
phf: we're on the same page, but purely from entomology perspective, i, for example, don'
t know how two competing groups of termites behave when joining forces.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the lulziest part being that they've been aware of this for years and don'
t know how to fix it.
mircea_popescu: a good chunk of the leaks are due to retarded client-server architectures deployued for no conceivable reason which they don'
t know how to secure
mircea_popescu: i just mean the part where "everyone knows the moduli don'
t factor" "oh look they do"
mircea_popescu: i can'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is myopic, because the nato isn'
t long of this world. what do you do once they;re gone ?
mircea_popescu: that you don'
t share a specific one does not mean you're incapable of having them. moreover, from experience, everyone gets his own, custom-tailored.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the $standard_strategy = "it won'
t happen to me"."oh shit"."it didn'
t happen to me"
mircea_popescu: you think stalin or anyone there is PROUD about the whole michurin affair ? no they aren'
t.
davout: yeah, but 2016 isn'
t 2015
mircea_popescu: PeterL he's just being difficult, not like boron doesn'
t have well known absorbtion/emission lines. you can either heat it and see ; or else shine a tuned laser on it and see.
mircea_popescu: tle condensation cranny/whatnot was integral and we didn'
t know.
mircea_popescu: PeterL the problem with build-yourself, at least in my brief experience [of managing other people trying to do it] is that you end up with nonstandard parts, which is an utter pain because a) you may get results you can'
t later reproduce, which is the bane of all time and eternal sadness and b) it becomes very difficult to correctly model your thing for prototyping/scaling/whatnot. because that little unintended glass lip/lit
