phf: mondo 2000, the proto valley crowd, i think we had the thread. basically, jwz.
mircea_popescu:
phf really the only important knob after such event is to be able to set "likely bug" or "likely messed with".
BingoBoingo:
phf: Have you tried "beefing" a111 up with some Tren? Apparently works for AWS

phf is a111 sick ?
mircea_popescu: look at how polite and shy
phf is and you'll see the hands of old woman all over society.
mircea_popescu:
phf im not sure how the shoes cut in. BingoBoingo what's the shoe idea ?
mod6: <+
phf> kind of reminds me of those personal homepages of schizophrenics back in the early days of the internets << scammers.
mircea_popescu:
phf yes but does it ever collate into an unicode character or anything of the sort ?
trinque:
phf's "foo" breaks it, though really, if the thing's an ascii paster, I dunno that the bug's anything but "fed uniturds, did not tell user to fuck off"
ben_vulpes: thanks for the debugging input
phf, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu:
phf what i mean is, im stuck guessing how wotpaste() { is called and etcetera.
sina: hey
phf, quick q, is lisp memory safe?
mircea_popescu:
phf it does, the actual stuff you're sending. i imagine you feed it to curl via something somewhere in the call yes ?

phf: fwiw unifont is not even the whole story. consider extensions like CTL, which allows you to have special rendering for a sequence of glyphs. a completely separate technology from ligatures and combining characters, but part of the standard never the less.

phf: asciilifeform: i used to try and clarify the inflection, but then realized that it's mostly meaningless for the anglophones. so however much it grates,
erlehmann:
phf unifont actually leaves out shitstains like arbitrarily combining glyphs to make national flags.
mircea_popescu:
phf are you proposing this is merely kishinev nonsense ?
mircea_popescu:
phf for my curiosity, don't you find it to work better when the girl's looking for them ?
mircea_popescu:
phf i dunno what you've been doing with your life to this point, but let me point out to you in no certain terms that adjusting what you do by what's available is the child's lot.
mircea_popescu:
phf but necessarily you won't have a closed form solution to an ill defined class of a known hard problem.

phf: i won't the thing to follow some pretty simple decision algorithm: here's a gps list of viable landing spots, here's a gps list of interesting targets. given your positional knowns decide and execute a flight path that'll take the aircraft through highest number of interesting targets before landing in any one of the viable landing spots. surprisingly large number of moving parts in a situation like that

phf: i thought that proper classical education is all about learning how to discriminate? i mean western art has this value of "this guy is good, but not quite. this other guy is as good as this first guy, and he also has that not quite covered. he's the true master"
mircea_popescu:
phf consider this : in many insects, as well as reptiles and other inferior (and therefore simpler) lifeforms, the male/female decision, or else the reproductor/drone decision (such as in bees) is not made genetically, like it is in mammals, but through some manner or other the egg comes with a lever settable in the field so to speak. now -- the male lizzard come out of egg that was cold in its youth ain't never going to be f

phf "they made it an error to locally shadow cl package symbols," is this direct centralism then, "we own the names in your machine -- not you" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 16:02
phf: i don't understand the points that you're both trying to make

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
phf: for the longest time i thought that common lisp spec is a magic paper against modernization. << check it out, the apotropaion of lisp!

phf: lotta "romanian" girls now, i.e. darker, gypsy looking ones. is that normal for romanian girls, or that sort of type is purely gypsies?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:06
phf: and they are coming from the "formal verification" direction, via spark

phf: oh fuck you :)
mircea_popescu:
phf if you triedf to junglewalk with that thing you'd be blind for all the shit it drags into your face. machete blade is curved the other way, to (if used in the right manner) repell everything at a 45ish angle
mircea_popescu:
phf ah that's a rather different item. it's not properly a machete, more like a sort of kukri.
mircea_popescu:
phf i had a local guy who was trying to impress a local girl explain it all to me. fibers, man!
mircea_popescu:
phf it's all because of mommentum. counter-military blow, the blade decelerates just as it hits somehiw. i can't do it either.
mircea_popescu:
phf do they do the one hack while holding the fruit move there ?
mircea_popescu:
phf that restores my faith in apple engineering. could buy its own ass!
mircea_popescu:
phf sorry about that. in retrospect i picked the worst choice, not even on the menu. should have just made a short hi and then decided.

phf: but ffa also doesn't have that many moving parts. it's a single stack mathematical code that mostly operates on same, uniform memory regions. so my original issue was that there's no enough quality code, certainly plenty of shit code, which is not quite the case in common lisp world
mircea_popescu:
phf i'll propose to you that the problem is too much over"thinking". the idea is to get the idiot stop doing what he thinks is thinking.
