ben_vulpes: exwm and
the reference implementation are ~90% of my current compute goals
phf: accelerate? what you
trying
to watch cat videos? i've only gotten as far as having emacs running on console
ben_vulpes: mine did obsd just fine, didn't want
to accelerate videocards
though
phf: i
tried openbsd on it, but it wouldn't even boot. i'm pretty sure it's an issue with integrated/discrete video cards
ben_vulpes: sorry,
the relentless carblogger
threads have me
twisted
ben_vulpes: oh wait
this is fiat currency not fiat cars
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
the fiat involvement is not clear
ben_vulpes: sorry, $client left many bottles of homemade kahlua at
the office
phf: who would've
thought
that linux ecosystem could've gotten worse since last
time i checked..
phf: but you're not supposed
to
touch
those files directly, oh no,
they are undocumented and what are you some kind of
terrorist. instead
there's 20 incompatible power/suspend/battery/sensor/fans/specialkeys control daemons in various states of disarray. "oh, if your fans don't kick in you want
termald, or
try batterd, which works with new lzmi acpi functions."
☟︎ phf: like for example controls over
the ability
to not overheat like crazy and drain battery in half hour.
phf: so running linux on macbook pro is all kinds of fun.
there's about 50 files exposed in /sys and /proc
that control intimate details of
the laptop's operation.

there were not even 12 makers of rich folk cars in 1890.

these were entirely unrelated parts of
the zil factory afaik. only reason "zil" was chosen was
that b wanted
to shine a positive light on
the company, like bahamas does with cadillac. not like it matters whether 'beast' shares parts with gmc
trucks. hell it probably wouldn't break down in
the middle of diplomatic missions if it were a custom job !
☝︎ pete_dushenski: even
then, it'll work
to a perfectly adequate extent. i'm not sure anyone will be worse off for brunei's adherence
to last century's mores.
pete_dushenski: which would've worked fine in any of
the last 20 centuries, unfortunately just not
this one
ben_vulpes: buy cars and not computers. have no representation in
the wot.
ben_vulpes: adherence
to
the modernist forms notwithstanding.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski:
they /are/ barbarians.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373871 << except
the sultan of brunei (as everyone knows?) has a
thing for cars, not computers, and so has had dozens if not hundreds of custom-built automobiles, many of which he never drove and later left
to rot in
the sun, but
that's his prerogative. but no, it didn't all go
to glitzy whores.
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 02:18:02; asciilifeform: as is
the cpu in engine comp.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373868 << cars were better pre-cpu for a reason you've already pointed out in
the (lost) logs, viz. constant firmware crashes and general electrical gremlins living in cars of
the last
two decades. no cpu in
the car anymore ? good riddance. maybe
then i'd actually buy a newer model.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: once i was a child, i extended
them as much rope as i
thought
they'd need
to hang
themselves
ben_vulpes: i don't extend
the robert viragh s of
the world nearly so much rope as i did before
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: 'twas so banal as
to be entirely unremarkable
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: So what was so irritating it had
to happen in a pm conversation?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: RE:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-11-2015#1325573 << Employer matches 401k up
to ~6% of annual income pre-tax.
The 401k program allows you
to
tke a 401k loan and pay yourself back. Best case scenario you pay
the fiat back over X period (as long as you don't leave
the job), or somehow
there is some huge collapse and you just never pay it back.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: how quickly do
the rest of you feel like burning your identities?

there was no ferrari in 1850.
ben_vulpes: punindented: you may continue

BingoBoingo: harvester scout for surfaces more hostile
than
the roads
they were
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373850 << ha.
the only disingenuous comparison is between your experience with cars and roads and what's actually required for '15k' world. so 15k people drive international cxt's across
the broken remnants of
the americas. what of it ? YOU DON'T NEED INTERSTATES. wanna
travel farther ? fly. or move.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: Speaking of Ferrari from
the mines: "For once, Christian Bale exits a body-changing role because it’d be
too hard on his health/body

pete_dushenski: no one's claiming
that flying and driving and living and breathing under usg don't blow dead bears.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 02:12:24; asciilifeform:
today one is not permitted
to fly so much as a mile without filling out forms in
triplicate
pete_dushenski: these were evidently a first-class mode of
transport, substantially more expensive
to own and operate
than a car, and not,
to my eye, made of cardboard (though planes a decade earlier were, by and large)
mod6: asciilifeform: hey, for a long
time now I've been searching for
the fix you provided
to vdiff for debian/ubuntu; for some reason it barfs saying
that
there is an unmatched quote or something.
pete_dushenski: perhaps i read
too much into
that question, but
the idea
that one would need
to specifically name future miners and
their means and methods seemed (and seems) a bit silly
to me.
they, whoever
they are, will find a way, because how not ?
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:13:18; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and what other player will catch up with
this, do you suppose, and how ?

the
thing here is
that
the age of unreliability is
today, not 1700. as alf pointed out at some point - you couldn't sell ANY of your consumer junk you buy
today
to people living
then. not your shitty shoes, not your shitty anything.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 01:42:12; mircea_popescu: so you got a 4x improvement in qualityt of life for
the slaves&servants in question out of
the very simple measure of halving
the costs and doubling
the quality ; and at
the expense
that julie nobody doesn't get
to pretend on reddit and gates doesn't get
to pretend in washpo anymore.

they're as unreliable as
they fucking get.
pete_dushenski: this peanut butter chocolate cheesecake is a bit disappointing. icing is
too sweet and it's not "cheezy" enough. more like an ultra-rich, ultra-dense, slightly creamier cake
than you'd otherwise expect.
the most impressive
thing about
this cake was
the sheer mass.
the box must've been 20 lbs for a 10"er.
BingoBoingo: jixei: Rude is often welcome here. But lurking is fine
too.
jixei: I
thought being prepared at any moment
to stand up for what you believe in was
the higher road. But
the impasses have been many.
jixei: Not
to be rude, but I
think I'm just going
to lurk.
Thank you for your inspiration.
BingoBoingo: jixei: I see, care
to give us a little bit of your history?
ben_vulpes: one of
those interesting $50 now or $2500 in
three week problems i can solve due
to hilariously checkered background
BingoBoingo: Hello jixei what bring you around
these parts?
thestringpuller: Isn't BitcoinJ
the
thing
that lame android client used?
That
thing was buggy as hell and like 15 different distros of android caused
the wallet
to leak keys.
BingoBoingo: From mines:

the one hand he has done some good work with BitcoinJ, Lighthouse etc. Certainly his choice of bloom filter has had a net negative effect on
the privacy of SPV users"

to war over keccak.
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 23:45:41; jurov: *shrug* i can understand,
the world is overcrowded, it's
tempting
to dream of putting stupid people "to
their place". whether
that comes
to pass, i doubt.

the idea of V is a versioning system based upon patches
