mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (take a known hash, do whatever is necessary
to end up with file of
that hash) <<<
this is actually a great approach, if it weren't for off-by-dword issues
mircea_popescu: <trinque> yep, I may
take
that on next. << not a bad idea yeah.
trinque: sounds like a
type of shell script, where one can perform-action
then check-hash-of-state,
then continue or die
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 17:00:29; asciilifeform: sorta like a v press-to-hash (feature i never got around
to implementing)
trinque: but gotta get
them from somewhere
trinque: so outermost makefile would do what
this script is doing,
then call a rotor makefile.
trinque: the above is just about 4-5 lines
tweaked
trinque: yep, I may
take
that on next.
mircea_popescu: the guy's expensive shirts make an incredible situation with
the "we couldn't afford a hotel room so we paid
the porter
to let us use
the utility closet"
thing
mircea_popescu: and i'm not overstating
the screaming, onctuous poverty
they're in one little bit. have you seen
the footage from
that meeting of perry with random nobody in ukraina,
that
took place in a room smaller
than
the very cramped
table ?
mod6 wonders if he'll have
to buy
trainloads of coal one day
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not
terribly sure avbout
that. for one
thing,
the us is poor
these days. for
the other, it's always been perfidious, and
the blown nuke plants are perhaps more valuable
to it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 understant,
there's no "turned off
the universe" switch. whether you have "an use" for it or not,
teh sun's still gonna shine, and
the radioactive will still decay.
mod6: ya, makes sense. sucks if you can't afford
to buy
the coal or what not
mod6: 'NPPs require power all
the
time'
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 16:22:07; mircea_popescu: it;s not
that most healthy cultures piss on
turncoats. it's
that
turncoats generally go psychotic.
mod6: i had
to laugh at
that last orlov
mod6: was
this started from a /clean/ env or is
this
trying
to load up a blockchain from christmas past?
mod6: <+thestringpuller> db.log has one line >> 'unable
to join
the environment'
mod6: im not sure what
this is about:
mod6: should do
the
trick.
mircea_popescu: who was
the classical general
that busted his own face, pretended his king did it, went
to
the enemies who bought it and
then raped
them in
their sleep ?
mircea_popescu: it;s not
that most healthy cultures piss on
turncoats. it's
that
turncoats generally go psychotic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is why women generally confront
the "either you put out or we rape you" and bureaucrats generally confront
the "play ball or go sleep with
the fishes".
mircea_popescu: the point isn't "the money",
the money is always and everywhere as it is here a
token.
the point of
the bribe is
that
the bribed becomes part of
the clan of
the briber, it's exactly a fucking wedding.
mircea_popescu: anyway. if memory serves
the actual cia conclusion was "social ambition drove it", which is EXACTLY what a fucking bribe is.
mircea_popescu: "f0or as long as we define bribing in
terms
that make it impossible, it was impossible
to bribe an usian
to move
to su in
those days"
mircea_popescu: recall
the north korean girly
that killed herself in paris rather
than come back home
to
the ~very priviledged~ household of her commanding daddy in best democratic
thingamagig ?
mircea_popescu: in
the end not substantially different from
the su's own "sluggard schizophrenia" in response
to
that age old question
that's
the bane of every mature bureaucracy : "why would anyone want
to leave paradise!"
mircea_popescu: it's funny how all
the soviet defections were proof sovietism dun work (it didn't) but all
the various us defections weren't proof usgism dun work (it... didn't).
mircea_popescu: in my head it's all "time when
the pre-cocksucking lusers lived"
mircea_popescu: in another life you could have been a happily employed girlie, reading
this crud of your own curiosity an' making summaries for
terrorists.
shinohai: Once I figure it out I am definitely going
to write an idiot's guide
to cross-compiling.
shinohai: Maybe I need
the proper drugs.
shinohai: I just cannot understand how
to use buildroot, despite reading manuals for hours upon hours.
shinohai is evidently
too retarded
to build using asciilifeform 's recipe.
T_T
shinohai: I strongly believe linton_s_dawson "just wants an app for
that"
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 08:29:37; assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 22:38:37; linton_s_dawson: If something ca be done in an easy-to-use manner, it should be done. I'm aware of
the "if you're
too lazy
to learn you don't deserve it" logic but I don't completely agree with it.
