ascii_field: (not hard
to arrange in
the field - use an igniter from electric cig lighter)
ascii_field: i wonder if it enjoys a good few kV put in
the line.
ascii_field: (i won't bother
to describe ~for what~ here, it was deadly boring & lame)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aahahahahaha! i once actually interviewed for a schmuck like
that
mircea_popescu: "i've assembled a small
team" but looking desperately for any actual human.
the small
team is made out of Siri, his 5yo step-daughter and a fridge he named Fred.
mircea_popescu: clearly
this newfangled "communication
technoilogy" has made it so much easier
to find and work with people.
mircea_popescu: just... cheapert
to ship it
there wholesale
than bother documenting
the "oh, X partners!"
mircea_popescu: the reason usg-* loves playing
that game is
that well,
they got slush funds up
the ying yang
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: as far as i can
tell (supposing
the product actually exists)
they power via laser, with control ethernet riding modulated on
top
mircea_popescu: something
that works like conductive spidwer web ideallyu
mircea_popescu: in principle you could make a pretty decent disposable
teether out of
these supposed advanced materials
ascii_field: would also be interesting
to learn how 'In
the event of a power interruption or microfilament failure,
the PARC vehicle has an on board backup battery
that will allow
the vehicle
to safely and autonomously return
to its launch site.' works.
ben_vulpes: yeah have fun with
that control system handling
the adjustable length
tether
ascii_field: if it shits
tether faster
than it gains altitude,
then plausible
ben_vulpes: it's under
tension if only from gravity what is
this
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: according
to
their ad,
the
tether plays out ~from
the bot~ rather
than
the remote
ascii_field: and i could've sworn
that we did 'fiber-tethered drone' idea ~right here~ in '13 ?

thestringpuller: The puritans were pretty radical as it is. I remember reading
the crucible and
thinking, "religious politics huh?"
thestringpuller: Except US has perverted christianity pretty hardcore. (Funny given
the puritans and all)
danielpbarron: the world hates
The Bible and its believers.
There is nothing new here.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
This is how it starts. Shame
the people praying in public. Later
they shame you for praying at all.
danielpbarron:

the hypocrites. For
they love
to pray standing in
the synagogues and on
the corners of
the streets,
that
they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say
to you,
they have
their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray
to your Father who is in
the secret place; and your F
☝︎ ascii_field: (it was held in
the same dilapidated church as a 'hack space'
thing i attended sporadically in
those days)
ascii_field: idk, i originally ran across it at a meeting of a hobbyist society devoted
to
the subject
ben_vulpes: entirely unmentionable outside of
the uranium mines.
ascii_field: if not for
this, i'd long ago have forgotten
the
thing even exists
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: for a while, it was in
top handful of 'google' hits for 'clojure'
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i still get flamez on my circa-2009
turd on subj (and
the later sequel)
ben_vulpes: but yeah
the asbestos fibers on
the insides of
the gloves get into your blood and kill you
ben_vulpes: thing about non-cl lisp-like
things is
that just
the few
tools
that clojure provides are enough for me
to get my hands around
the neck of, say,
the whole wwwstack
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 17:00:13; *: adlai is not familiar enough with clojure
to dismiss it as pseudo
ascii_field: bonus l0lpo1nt5 if
this was a stego'd privkey
ben_vulpes: **** most of
the afternoon going
through
the applicants and sending emails
ben_vulpes: *** "going

take values from spreadsheets and put
them into node"

BingoBoingo: If you have
to ask if you are smoking crack, you prolly are.
ascii_field: i
think it accounts for a good measure of 'mysteriously not found' cases
mircea_popescu: look who's
talkign about empty platitudes!
the united libertards party!
ascii_field: 'I came out of college with a faint disdain for both
the
teachers and
the principle of
the whole
thing.
This is natural. I also came out of college not owing anyone one red cent.' << funnily enough, same.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it pointed
to a 'preview' (wordpressism) of
the article
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
taleb will miss out on
the only
thing he didn'twant
to miss out on
this life.
ascii_field: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu your link in footnote iii is broken
adlai chalks
this up
to
the comparative
truthiness of
the
two
test
adlai: study probably boils down
to "rails lol"
adlai is not familiar enough with clojure
to dismiss it as pseudo
☟︎ adlai: someday you could study
the comparative damage done by almost-lisps such as ruby
adlai: industrious must be got rid of, for he is
too dangerous."
☟︎ ascii_field: that
this could happen, was not a defect of
the piano.
adlai: clever and lazy qualifies for
the highest leadership posts. He has
the requisite nerves and
the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and
adlai: also

the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of

ascii_field: theodor dalrymple (british) had a piece describing a scene he witnessed as a medic in liberia, where enraged orcs sawed
the legs off, and carefully
too massive shits into, a rare and very costly concert piano
ascii_field: at any rate, i cannot possibly argue against
the main idea here -
that a horde of energetic, malignantly-stupid people can befunge literally ~anything~
ascii_field: actually it was pretty obvious
to herr dijkstra
mircea_popescu: it wasn't obvious c will congeal into
the now familiar morass either.
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 14:47:46; mircea_popescu: does anyone have
the line where i
tell asciilifeform or someone
that
their love of lisp is misplaced, because a) c was just as great before
the horde got involved and b) if lisp were
to become fashionable it'd be cpp in short order ?

this isn't entirely wrong, but it is also not correct: it would be a very different sea - more like a small puddle of molten plutonium. (dynamic langs with everything-viewable and everything-debuggable sort of capability don't congeal into
the familiar unix-like morass, but nobody cancelled idiots and ~purely logical~ bugs)
☝︎ ascii_field: perhaps
this was 'fan mail' sent
to mircea_popescu privately ?
mircea_popescu: it's remarkable how little mark
this whole pile leaves in
the record.
ascii_field: was it
the imbecile who wanted his key (never specified!) removed ?
