http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519202 << it's kind of a pun, i think of systems design as landscape traversal. i think there are frequently paths, as is the case here, that hit multiple design goals and have lower overall complexity, better than a seemingly direct path, that has a hidden high complexity. abstract discussions about ideological goals, that don'
t take into account design space traversal can be resolved by actual taking
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "they sure wouldn'
t have built this very versatile car, which they talk about a lot more than where they have used it and for what" << now this is fo sho valid criticism of the whole demographic.
gabriel_laddel: nothing is straightforwards when you don'
t have a bank account
mircea_popescu: you want to change the world, build on top of immutable primitives, like in v. don'
t go around pretending "light" now means something else than yesterday.
mircea_popescu: unlike you, mircea_popescu doesn'
t lie to himself about what's going on.
phf: mircea_popescu: i haven'
t had time to integrate it, my spare cycles were going into bot rewrite
phf: mircea_popescu: i don'
t have the 2012 ones yet
mircea_popescu: of course... he wouldn'
t do it in cahn in the first place would he.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm homeless and that isn'
t really possible atm
mircea_popescu: note that the woz didn'
t make the ipad. so that theory lost a lot since 2002.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t dispute your goals ; merely your very inept methodology.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: can we table this discussion for the time being? I understand what it is that you're getting at, but you don'
t have (and nor will you have) a clear picture of exactly what it is that I'm doing.
gabriel_laddel: Terry A Davis wrote a whole graphics system that doesn'
t communicate with X.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'll tell you why not : because until he asks, you can;'
t tell.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel the reason kernel exists is so that random crap doesn'
t steal your machine.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: it is not yet clear as I don'
t know enough about the kernel to know if I can do away with the whole "user space" thing.
mircea_popescu: whatever wisdom one has is divided in two categories : that which must be asked for ; and that which needn'
t be.
mircea_popescu: phf he means you can'
t use them without x, integrated.
phf: gabriel_laddel: you're saying that mcclim has FFI to cairo/freetype/opengl, i don'
t think that's true, care to link to relevant code
phf: asciilifeform: or possibly gabriel_laddel doesn'
t know what he's talking about
phf: last time i checked there wasn'
t cairo/freetype/etc. in mcclim to begin with
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: you're going to be waiting a while in any case, so I wouldn'
t get to worked up about it.
phf: asciilifeform: i don'
t know why gabriel_laddel is saying what he's saying. truetype has already been rewritten in lisp, and that's what mcclim uses for fancy truetype rendering. it's expensive as hell, and equally pointless.
mircea_popescu: importing bitcoin into your financial affairs works its magic just by being a node ; doesn'
t have to be the whole process. actually, can'
t even be whole process, that's gavintardism. but yeah, no big deal.
mircea_popescu: whether os or not os needn'
t be resolved ; but gabriel_laddel should be able to acquire a copy i say!
mircea_popescu: judge can'
t spell, and has the unmitigated audacity to say THAT ?
mircea_popescu: that's why they're used in the first place, inept nurses don'
t kill patients with them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh get out of here. ketamine ld50 is like half a gram/kg. propofol 1/10 that. in either case you can'
t pack enough of the stuff in a shot to kill anyone.
mircea_popescu: ie, "god didn'
t give you curare, it gave it to those monkeys."
mircea_popescu: hence why i wouldn'
t use diazepam. god gave you propofol / ketamine for a reason.
mircea_popescu: needn'
t be deniable. need be humiliating, need cause memory loss.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform link to even one photo of your mom's cunt or else you weren'
t ever born!!11
mircea_popescu: suppose i get hold of her and keep her in a room for half a day ? what then ? "i can'
t recognise the person i voted for!!!" ?
mircea_popescu: now, the ancients didn'
t think it wise to have blind emperor ; why the postmoderns imagine it acceptable to have figurehead with habit...

t got no seizures. she's got a habit, left over from the days she was stuck in scandal cast playing kerry washington (created by shonda rhimes).

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 00:58 mircea_popescu: (dunno who for instance recalls 2012 back when "logging irc" was "a bad idea" by "community agreement". freenode would still hold on to that idiocy hadn'
t it died meanwhile.)
mircea_popescu looks in project about main, doesn'
t even see Philip Fominykh

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and while it would allow tcp/ip, it wouldn'
t be limited to tcp/ip
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: hosts file can'
t possibly be more intimate than a gpg keyring
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good point re the "hack" thing. apparently the reason average cattle doesn'
t is because ... they CHOOSE not to. not because they cucking fouldn'
t to save their stinky hides
phf: asciilifeform: i don'
t actually know about that one :o
a111: Logged on 2016-08-11 18:55 asciilifeform: '"[Trump] is an enabler of Putin, former head of the KGB, and of course is leading all these hacks," Reid said. "It should be a message to America that you can'
t hold hands with Putin."'
PeterL: right? I guess he didn'
t realize that it was poisonous in large quantities
PeterL: actually, I wouldn'
t be suprised if meth would dissolve better in apple juice than plain water, so maybe he was telling the truth?
trinque: asciilifeform: isn'
t, but I can package it up later. I hand-applied phf's patch to a custom skin mangled from the "classic" skin.
mircea_popescu: obviously, the managerial imbecile didn'
t specifically aim to make life hard for engineers. nevertheless - it's either one or the other, and if you're not actively oppressing people who know how things should be, you're then therefore actively oppressing people who are curious as to how things actually are.
mircea_popescu: "How does the bitter black fungus keep out the tasty lactic bacteria ? Certainly not directly ; it's a terraforming process you see. Which is why you can'
t "just want to" : either you permit it or you don'
t permit it. There's no third option available."
a111: Logged on 2016-08-11 15:11 phf: i never grok why some of these javascript libraries don'
t just provide a demo console. "everything you need is loaded on this page, feel free to run your browser's dev console"
phf: well, i can read the key with proton's opengpg implementation, can'
t generate one though
phf: i don'
t think it's the same beast as openpgpjs, since the later does seem to support keys
phf: i never grok why some of these javascript libraries don'
t just provide a demo console. "everything you need is loaded on this page, feel free to run your browser's dev console"
☟︎ thestringpuller: i've never used opengpg.js but most of those things have some kind of "demo" version so you don'
t have to touch the code yourself without gloves
thestringpuller: until he made that tweet danielpbarron archived "gpg needs to die cause grandma can'
t use it"
mircea_popescu: likely, but as i've never needed to i don'
t have it at the ready.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t say elevating. it's an elevator shaft, it ... you know what ? it's mcdevil quickfaust, is what it is.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:15 mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn'
t badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
mircea_popescu: pro tip : the former don'
t usually figure in serial killing files. the latter rarely don'
t figure in serial killing profiles.
ben_vulpes: what, samantha fox enforced her ip 'rights' and the other girls didn'
t?
mircea_popescu: let's just say the internet didn'
t invent the fandom. it moreover killed it.
mircea_popescu: in context of "why there weren'
t a buncha derpy 20yo chicks running around dressed as minnie in 1976"
mircea_popescu: all i see so far - is that softening the grip on IP is actually more harmful to human life than keeping it tight. this entire cosplay thing exists essentially because the various "ip holders" aren'
t nearly as vigorous as they were in the 70s (good fucking luck doing "your own version of mickey mouse/donald duck" because "you think you look like them" and then - horror of horrors!!11!!1 - selling fucking tschotchkes)
mircea_popescu: somehow they don'
t even notice this. "why aren'
t you in asian then ???" "oh, from ohio to la was long enough a trip for me!"
mircea_popescu: by now these idiots are so infatuated with their own "SOCIAL MEDIA!!! HUGE!!!" gargle they don'
t even comprehend numbers. "it's a number, so it's huge, righht ?"
mircea_popescu: "The line was for TwitchCon merchandise.
T-shirts were $22 – $25. The next day they were $150 on eBay." right, right "were". how many fucking sold ? "I CAN DO ANYTHING! I'VE NEVER BEEN PUNCHED!"
