ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i have never in my entire life
touched a non-latin kbd
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i dun keep a non-sane kbd around so
the only way
to get stuff like
the gullemets or kyrilix or such is
to google.
shinohai: I still like Newspapers
too, so you can read NY
Times without
the paywall and adware nonsense.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Most dreaded
thing in library is MARC and assorted cataloguing nonsense
ascii_butugychag: l0l so easy
to
tell
that mircea_popescu cut'n'pasted from pediwik
shinohai: Reading. I still like old-fashioned books so I spend a lot of
time in Library.
jurov: i am currently
trying emacs with evilmode and it goes in on my nerves,
these layers upon layers
ascii_butugychag: soooo it
turns out
that "locate-dominating-file" is broken under emacs24 + recent crapple
jurov: i have one
too, good
to occassionally exchange for chair. can't imagine whole day
BingoBoingo: It's good for developing back and core strength, but probably not so good
to be used full
time as chair substitute.
mircea_popescu: isn't it supposed
to be good for your back or something ?
ascii_butugychag: we have something like
that here, a few blokes sitting on what looks like upturned
trash cans
trinque: I'm having it connect=
to dulap
to see if
that helps
the limp
mod6: imagine a room full of early 20something guys on balls, and
then ole mod6 in a suit with a look of disdain.
mod6: yeah,
these guys are lollies
mircea_popescu: mod6 oh! i
thought you had a buncha lolis at your office doing ball yoga stuff.
mircea_popescu: also why
the fuck do people keep spelling impostor with an e. no latin where
they live ?
mod6: but apparently not. people sit on
these
things, and
they bounce all day while
they "work".
BingoBoingo: trinque: Are you sure deedbot- is only ~10 blocks behind? I'm not seeing any of
today's deeds on
the www
mod6: instead of chairs
they give you
the option of sitting on a ball. i
thought
these balls were just for bending girls over on.
mod6: how do
they expect men in
three-piece suits
to entertain
the idea of bouncing on a fucking ball all day long.
mod6: totally.
there is absolutely no reason for me
to be sitting where i am right now.
mod6: yeah, i used
to be basically 100% remote. and it was awesome.
mircea_popescu: at
that price i doubt it's worth
their
time
to even find out.
mircea_popescu: this is less
than half what it costs even in romania (major exporter)
mircea_popescu: yes, but in argentina public notary feels not one bit
threatened by bypassing vat.
ascii_butugychag: at any rate it will look INDISTINGUISHABLE from a bypassed meter and in most countries
this leads
to 'problemz'
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should
take a pic of
the meters for your amusement.
they look like
they were exported from
the su, cca 1930.
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, your local mains power company will also shit bricks if you have serious inductive loads in your house (shifts phase, interferes with
their metering)
ascii_butugychag: also
to keep'em from
taking
their bezzle and
turning it into
turkeys in paraguay
ascii_butugychag: (it is, really,
to keep people from 'infidelity', collecting multiple salaries)
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: recall
the
thread (i am having
trouble digging it up) where i explained why just about nobody in usaschwitz gets
to be 100% remote ?
mircea_popescu: all
that's left is for me
to hope
that one day i might be as cool as myself.
mircea_popescu: i was just poking fun at your "must have laptop
to remotely"
thing
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: i
think he always connected from a bounce box in usa
trinque: though I have snagged "deedbot"
too; new version will join under
that before long
trinque: not yet; I have one syncing
that is at roughly 350k
mod6: deedbot running
trb?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
the funny part is
that
technically it does not require computer. i am free
to attempt
the project with a pencil.
trinque: and he gets 700 bucks
to put his ass on
too
mircea_popescu: only gets one half at a
time of all
things. depending on context,
the one or
the other half.
trinque: and "fuck you I wont work on
this shit" passes for a guy moving rectangles around in a web browser.
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: tax declaration reads 'sr research engineer' (what
this means, nobody knows)
mircea_popescu: he works for something
that requires computers but is not a computerist
thing! alf is
that fabulous creature from ro folklore, "half man riding half a limp rabbit"
ben_vulpes: because if you put it
to writing it is going
to read as "programmer"
ben_vulpes: i am asking what precisely
that is in your bosses eyes
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> dude programmers in america are
the most spoiled group in
terms of bennies and
tolerance of absurd work behavior and yet you insist
that you must conf0rm! << for sure.
mircea_popescu: this is where we find out alf has been working as party organizer all
these years.
ben_vulpes: what pray
tell are you in your bosses eyes
ben_vulpes: dude programmers in america are
the most spoiled group in
terms of bennies and
tolerance of absurd work behavior and yet you insist
that you must conf0rm!
ascii_butugychag: shoot yourself in
the head every morning until you wake up as a mircea_popescu ?
ben_vulpes: i do not understand
this hair shirt buying into of corporate culture
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: here on my planet, none of
this has anything
to do with people getting
things actually done
ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: did not answer
the question.
mircea_popescu: the choice between whipping up
ten desktops in fixed positions and having you spend a week dicking around with shittops should be obvious,
mircea_popescu: one hour of employee
time, admitting you get paid $100, costs your employer ~250 or so.
ben_vulpes: if chance, it's a poor gamble. if it's a promise, why can't
they buy a box for your haus?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag can't you just mount a proper computer somehwere and...uhh... ssh into it ? or i guess
telnet lol.
ben_vulpes: is
this for
the /chance/
to do so or
the /promise/
to do so?
mircea_popescu: my bitchez can benchpress me! get some
to carry your desktop!!1
☟︎ ben_vulpes: no but why must you have
the computing device with you?
ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag:
this is what you get for
trying
to do s33r1ous wurk! on a portable
ascii_butugychag: where it
took me months
to sort-of set
things up, and wrangle gentoo, and still ended up with not-quite-working video etc
ascii_butugychag: because
the alternative,
the only alternative, was... well,
the last machine
mircea_popescu: "Since
this library is in Emacs 25, contributors must have signed
the Emacs Copyright assignment." << had remanence from seq-el.
ben_vulpes: lol mircea_popescu is using a box with ready access
to emacs 25?!
