phf: yeah, i have a dx too, i also have two or three small keyboard ones, but they break easily (i broke like 4 or 5) with they way i use them anyway, and since the kindle direction is clearly dodgy i just don'
t feel like doing anything with them
phf: i was really happy with the old keyboard kindle, it had free internet, and was just generally a very promising oldfag device. hardware keyboard, promising screen, ~lighter than any versions since~, had a bunch of linux hacks including a terminal. i ported a zork interpreter to it. and of course amazon doesn'
t care about oldfag market, so kindles went downhill fast since
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ya, just saw that 'digital paper' isn'
t backlit
phf: i use a psion as an organizer, and i still can'
t get used to the fact that it looks ~good~ in direct sunlight. like it's some amazing novel technology
☟︎ phf: i couldn'
t afford pro level palm, had to use "visor"
mircea_popescu: you also don'

http a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 17:49 asciilifeform: long ago, i tried my hand at 'sane blogging engine' and barfed; simply can'
t stand wwwtronic idiocy, e.g,. 'logging in', 'browser state',
https crapolade tower, css, etc.
trinque: yes, because this is how the allies beat the nazis, by parroting "nazis can'
t do anything anyway"
pete_dushenski: they can both be different and useless. so why isn'
t this the case ?
trinque: the part which breaks cryptography for insider trading and such isn'
t necessarily the same which ham-handedly lights the middle east on fire
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: well, dan isn'
t a nickname for daniel.... except it is. that different people are better known by one or the other doesn'
t change the fact that 'king dick the lionheart' is perfectly valid
shinohai: Because if we don'
t do it to Bitcoin, we lost the war and our upboats meant NOTHING!!!!
diana_coman: hm, as far as I know it should be able to pin the part/shape based on position+pressure and then I don'
t see indeed why wouldn'
t it be able to react to turning the pen - maybe it's a precision thing?
pete_dushenski has friends in france atm. figures that they haven'
t called from nth republican prison yet is a good sign.
danielpbarron: i have a broken toshiba portege m200 that had a decent pen/touchscreen thing, but that was with winbl0wz and I can'
t imagine it would be easy to get that working on a linux

t do it you'll spend the next month in county jail thinking things through. it's a thing, there's a hierarchy in realia, which obviously isn'

☝︎ mircea_popescu: because they don'

t have to use it, even though it is there. This may not be ideal, but it's bridge between both "easy" and "manual"
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: doesn'
t /affect/ gameplay
mircea_popescu: you don'
t think nsa lost, or usg lost, or any of the imperial heavenly legions ever lost.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t even say i don'
t sympathise with the hipsters.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you can plead ignorance all you want. lalala check me out, i'm going to pretend like this doesn'
t exist and here's tardstalk, seriously. then if you get whacked for it play the victim ? get fucked already, this isn'
t how it's played.
Apocalyptic: I haven'
t been there in ages, most posts are pure non-sense to increase post counts for signature campaigns
Apocalyptic: but hey it was been educational, at least I know I won'
t ever be going there to get work done
Apocalyptic: for the lulz, the Angell guy that signed up sent me, I kid you not, a copy/pasted code of a public github repo which consisted of a SAT-solver that doesn'
t even build
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform: actually reading the satcoin link you provided I don'
t think it's a worthy endeavour to explore anymore
Apocalyptic: so I guess they had something running and didn'
t pull them out of their ass
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform: I assure you I don'
t plan to apply this to bitcoin mining, even though It did cross my mind to just try how it would fare in comparison
Apocalyptic: jurov: well i'm all ears as to why it isn'
t trinque: er actually I posted an older version at some point didn'
t I?

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: look, we can'
t not sign the things - these asswipes KEEP CHANGING THEM
mod6: which isn'
t a bad thing; i'd rather do it slow & careful, than fast and reckless.
mod6: Makefiles will also solve alf's complaint about "shouldn'
t pull these from the web at all."
mod6: one caveat here, I want this to be the last release of the build script -- so I don'
t wanna do any heavy lifting here. Would rather put such effort into the makefiles instead.
mod6: I'm a bit hesitant to "sign" a file outright that I don'
t have carnal knowledge of -- say openssl - at least without a disclaimer that says "I am only confirming the SHA512 of this artifact is ABCDEF1234... This does not mean that I have read that code and it ``fits in head''."
mod6: so last week buildroot's site was down (for about a day) and currently the dang sourceforge site doesn'
t seem to be allowing curl to grab the boost lib.
mircea_popescu: just because they couldn'
t in 1920 doesn'

t today.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-13#1502520 << eh, in "theory", which is to say "in the peculiar fictitious narrative some people jack off to". the limiting factor for both is drag, and it ain'
t going away. "oh but what if we're shooting spherical chickens in a vacuum" "you're still better off with a rocket stfu".
☝︎ Framedragger: how do i search for multiple words associated by OR, not AND? $s works for this but btcbase's search doesn'
t, right?
shinohai: Don'
t worry, v and
t make github obsolete
mircea_popescu: no prob. just didn'
t want for you to get teh idea i just said that to give you busywork or somesuch. the thing's actually important.
mircea_popescu: it's the comic equivalent of a fat ugly woman that doesn'
t wash or ever shut up.
mircea_popescu: you mean other than "i want to make a comic and don'
t perceive i should invest into drawing or writing skills, whoever loves me loves for me!" ?
mircea_popescu: it's not pessimism just because i didn'
t vote for change!
mircea_popescu: well, a one man bukkake's just called "i don'
t want kids" neh ?
mircea_popescu: much like the current "something better" wall materials kids kick holes into aren'
t better than brick and concrete. even if some claim otherwise.
mircea_popescu: oh and the caper : obviously the coil is a lc oscillator. the remainder 95 to 99% energy doesn'
t simply disappear. it COMES BACK in the circuit. going... the other way.
mircea_popescu: i'll grant that it has more chances of being useful than the coil gun ; which isn'
t saying much.
ben_vulpes: if it works (and what, the brits can'
t do anything, clearly), it's the only improvement with legs over the classic rocket.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes yes. the comparison of the engine to the rocket is flawed. because the rocket doesn'
t aspire [random gunk] from atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's a simple problem of mass conservation though. if your compression factor is 1:10, say, and you burn 1 ton of fuel, you then therefore get a cubic kilometer worth of air, which will contain a ton and a half of water, what do you do with it. it doesn'
t burn, it doesn'
t go away. nowwut.
mircea_popescu: anyway, lovely verbiage "crisis of american democracy" = "guy we don'
t like massacring bureaucracy on the basis of popular vote"
mircea_popescu: if anyone other than you actually had any faith in this theory, they wouldn'
t be quite this desperate now would they.
