mircea_popescu: seems a rehash of
the entire "it's okay for fat woman
to drown you in her lard in
the subway. it's not ok for male
to sit comfortably."
mircea_popescu: "TLDR: Fat with knee problems. Fat mother. Fat people are a cancer. " << i wonder how come people will
throw an absolute hissy fit should mother dare smoke, yet nobody seems
to get
too worried should mother be obese. yet smoking is not nearly as damaging as obesity.
BingoBoingo: "This kid had an injury
that Id never seen before. Instead of articulating posteriorly
to
the patella, his femur went lateral while his
tibfib went medial. Basically, his
thigh was sliding
to outside while his shin was sliding
to
the inside. Id seen dislocations before, but his bones were cocked out at angles
that were different from
typical
traumatic dislocations.
To me, it simply looked like his knee gave in under
the weig
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 00:10:35; mircea_popescu: anyway, point remains, if someone [such as jurov] decides
to spend a day on
this he should have
to use as little as possible hunting
the history as
that leaves as much as possible
to actually doing work.
BingoBoingo: If I designed
this it would use 1024 most common nudes encoding
mircea_popescu: if i designed
this,
the -a flag would yield a "1024 most common english words" encoding.
mircea_popescu: dumbest fucking idea. why
THE FUCK would
the
transport layer be even aware of pgp as opposed
to plaintext.
BingoBoingo: fwiw
this
tends
to happen msot often when messages are produced with GPG v2 and
the first layer included mentions of MIME
types
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's all
the result of "easy
to use"
tools
that run automagically.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> like dioxin-free
tomatoes. << or dioxin free roads/parks
BingoBoingo never ceases
to be surprised by
the ways people bend GPG
to produce bundles inside of bundles
to
the point it is impossible
to discern where one might begin untangling
the second bundles
BingoBoingo: <felipelalli> I wrote it on Emacs, I just re-sent. << I am at a loss now for how
to extract
this

mircea_popescu: there's no reason for it
to be "good" when kuhn describes it as a way for scientists
to keep from being
too stupid and also "bad" when ayers describes it as a way for red necks
to still manage
to fit in with
their neighbours without shooting each other
too much.
mircea_popescu: love or hate it, propaganda has a role in helping undifferentiated cells digest phenomena. pure, nude phenomena are indigestible by
the human cell.
trinque: pretty hilarious sentence by Citizenfile
there,
too.
assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 02:49:04;
trinque: Citizenfive | What I'm saying, if I'm saying *anything*, is
that
the words don't matter. << I used
to
think
this; lately I consider it an autoimmune disorder caused by lifetime immersion in symbolic shit
phf: that seems
to
tie with a broader point
that once something is named, it's already over. propaganda storm is kind of like grabbing onto something stationary while in a current, and realizing
that
there's a current
to beging with, and
that it's possibly strong.
mircea_popescu: ie, i'm so very proud and i
tell ya : rather
than english or german, french or american, you're better off moldavian.
phf: hehe
that's a catchy song
trinque: to which I've been giving a great deal of
thought since.
phf: well, our rocket is made of cardboard, but
their jeans are made of american dream
mircea_popescu: phf well, you know, onoculated from propaganda, what's
that even. "i'm done with love" ?
mircea_popescu: i happen
to
think
the same is
true of propaganda, even
though it's an ideal object. by
the
time it's ubiquitous,
the
thing's going
to shit. propaganda storm is a reflection of developing propaganda resistance.
phf: same people who
thought
themselves inoculated from soviet propaganda, fell for western one hook line and sinker
mircea_popescu: "who needs blood when it spews from every orifice". seems like
that's when you need it
the most
trinque: watched Forrest Gump again last night with a similar morbid curiousity. in it, he's
the "hero" for no other reason
than he is maximally obedient. he's
the perfect american.
mircea_popescu: the irony implicit being
that had she watched it in 1978, she'd have
thought it unspeakably great.
mircea_popescu: the flesh in
the west was starting
to build a new socialism, and
the flesh in
the east wanted what flesh always wants.
mircea_popescu: for specifically
this reason : it is
the direct equivalent
to
the set of euler's axioms.
mircea_popescu: i am sure it was
the coolest movie in
the soviet union.
phf: parents were
telling me how saturday night was like
the coolest movie in soviet uniont. nobody have seen it, but everyone
talked about it. having a leisure suite from checkoslovakia was
the pinnacle, etc. mom finally watched it in early 2000s, reaction was "wtf is
this shit"
trinque: I just watched one of
the dance scenes on youtube;
Travolta is *awful*.
punkman: watched Un Prophete
the other day, pretty damn good
mod6: i feel like I have
to watch it now lol
felipelalli: Another question: strong, em etc. are HTML
tags?
felipelalli: BingoBoingo, I did not understand
the item 4, how can I create a link?
jurov: for
the record: igprof won't work with stator, must change STATIC=all
to STATIC=1 in stator.sh
to get dynamic executable at final link
time
felipelalli: BingoBoingo, I just sent you an email with my first Qntra article. Good luck
to me :)
phf: in
this case "broken because of boost" is more like a description of an OSI layer, i.e. uknowable
things are happening somewhere in
the datastructures level of
things
phf: one
thing
that i see happening here is a subtrate problem, i.e. oh boost is crap gotta use std c++, oh c++ is crap gotta use lisp, oh lisp is hosted on unix, gotta host on bare metal, oh bare metal is crap gotta vhdl our own cpu, oh can't do our own cpu because 3 factories. i'm not sure where
that leaves us exactly
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's a valid and an invalid
thing
that i can readily see going under
the same mantle.
the valid side is an outgrowth of "no, we're not putting up with any shit, because shit reproduces itself, if you're going
to make a sterile environment it gotta be sterile".
the invalid part is well, paranoia, basically. "world is out
to get itself!!!"
mircea_popescu: not all
tumours are operable, is
the sad fact of biology.
ascii_field: (and it HAS
to be cured before pogo can be a
thing)
ascii_field: presently i do not even know how
to cure
the far more straightforward 300 bytes/block
thing, without walking into
this
ascii_field: phf: in
this particular case,
there is also another
thing - whether
the problem is solvable without committing 'power rangerism' and mutilating
the patient beyond recognition into a monstrous chimera
phf: what i meant
to say is
that sometimes ascii
talks precise, but sometimes with a certain amount of flair, which roughly
translates into "the problem is nasty, with many unknowns, and requires excessive amount of investigation and work, if it's even solvable at all."
this was
the second case, i.e. not literally clear(), not necessarily boost, needs further independent investigation
mod6: anyway, i need
to give
the IgProf hooks another
try in a different, nongentoo env and see.
mircea_popescu: !rate CheckDavid -1
Too young yet. May reconsider
this in a year.
gribble: Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated

mircea_popescu: ;;rate CheckDavid -1
Too young yet. May reconsider
this in a year.
mod6: <+jurov> igprof won't work with stator, i guess? << i'm
trying
to recall
the details... but i
think it compiled ok iirc, but when I ran it (on a gentoo amd64 env) I couldn't get any
thing
to dump out for some reason.
ascii_field: until he ended up buried entirely in
the earth.
ascii_field: and a sign,
telling strong men 'pull with all your might'
ascii_field: where
there is a little iron ring in
the earth
ascii_field: there is a dismal ru version of
the 'sword in
the stone' sorta legend
CheckDavid: ANy ideas from
the great minds in here?
CheckDavid: So Gyft has a 25% discount on giftcards? How can one
take good advantage of
the offer?
ascii_field: the process used
to be me elaborately chronicling my
travails on
the ml
ascii_field: jurov: i don't recall now if
there was any actual reason it had
to run with dynamic libc
ascii_field: because
there is actually not a good record of
the last
thing i did
jurov: the patch adds -l dl
to LIBS
ascii_field: actually
the only reason i logged on presently was
to help jurov
mircea_popescu: anyway, point remains, if someone [such as jurov] decides
to spend a day on
this he should have
to use as little as possible hunting
the history as
that leaves as much as possible
to actually doing work.
☟︎ ascii_field: at one point i considered bolting on stroustrup's 'smart pointers'
thing but gave up in disgust
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-11-2015#1332526 << for
the record/future and as best practice : mod6's style of doing
these, with pastes etc is much better, because it allows later effort
to build upon previous effort. deedbot- is also not a bad venue
to store
this sort of
thing, seeing how it's just code atm. "when i do so and so
this is
the bt resultant".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yeah, one of
these days we'll make a sore point list of
things, as a necessary [early] step
towards printable btc.
mircea_popescu: the usage of statics in
that pile is still not understood [in its implications]. stands as a major sore point
to
this very day, six years later.
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2015 22:46:25; jurov: just found
there are several static maps and sets
tucked in misc functions,
too...
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2015 21:57:56; phf: jurov: you know how it is here,
there's one small problem, gets elevated
to shitgnomes in all
the
things!!1 status
ascii_field: i am always astonished when folks ask question like
this
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 20:20:07;
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell asciilifeform is it legit?
mod6: i
think mine compiled ok with it.
mod6: if you get
that igprof patch working jurov, let me know.
