fluffypony: making sure they don't run dangerous programs like the AMD CCC

mircea_popescu: ahahaha what are these turnips smoking.
mircea_popescu: "You will probably experience a higher attempted double spend rate, for example, if selling a digital good to someone who didn't buy a device."
assbot: 21 inc attempts to stop neckbeards from copying their obsolete Frankenstein creation. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1lLjEPy )
asciilifeform: but they all have specific purposes and are not 'workstation' in any sense.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i have a pile of laptops that never leave the house
kakobrekla: i guess the point was lappy != field work
mod6: think i shut it down on the flight from b-a
asciilifeform: what of this
asciilifeform: the mega-insight here is that laptops suck ~because~ they are part and parcel of a kind of life that sucks
deedbot-: [Trilema] The muchass of the day, a triptych - http://trilema.com/2015/the-muchass-of-the-day-a-triptych/
kakobrekla: x1 tried to be mac air
trinque: I've fine-tuned gentoo on both this and a macbook pro previously, as perhaps some kind of pain fetish
asciilifeform: also will note that the portable i actually use for work, cost no less than the maximal mac, relies on blobs, and a good number of peripherals simply do not work, blob or no blob
mircea_popescu: im rrrrreally call the police i tell you!
mircea_popescu: then what are you talking!
asciilifeform: if i didn't already have one, for the (fortunately) rare times that i need such a thing - would buy.
mircea_popescu: so the box you'd buy is putative, as you didn't buy it, and as far as the rest of the quoted is concerned ima go on a limb and guess thye had other reasons.
asciilifeform: nah that's all.
mircea_popescu: didja run off with half the sentence ?
asciilifeform: and ben_vulpes, and - iirc - trinque, phf, ...
mircea_popescu: ~nobody ever bought this crap for this reason.
asciilifeform: and yes, if you want a unix box with 300 dpi screen and where the MOTHERFUCKING PERIPHERALS WORK (suspend lid, etc) - you buy this.
asciilifeform: (the box ben_vulpes was thinking of doesn't have a sata jack, so you're stuck with what's soldered on)
mircea_popescu: 1.5 tb ssd ?!
ben_vulpes: and an extremely small cost in the grand scheme of things.
ben_vulpes: because one cannot put ones own storage in the machine
mircea_popescu: why would you pay 1k for something that retails for like 80 ?
ben_vulpes: oh wait dig it you can get a whole 1.5 tb for A WHOLE GRAND
ben_vulpes idly pulls up the apple checkout flow in a text only browser, laughs
asciilifeform: used to be you could even put standard 2.5 inch disks in there
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not only don't have, but never had, and afaik the monkeys do not yet smoke enough dope to hand'em out to folks like us.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you're allowed in b-a if you do.
asciilifeform: some bozos do not even remember to advertise it, and then proceed to waste hours of my time only to break the news later
asciilifeform: in other 'news', in past month i learned that 98%+ of openings advertised for my profession demand proof of aryan status
ben_vulpes: the new trackpads are impressive, though.
mircea_popescu: in more than one port news, http://41.media.tumblr.com/9c29ade55981246eaddcbaa779ac9461/tumblr_mudr2mwLX71ric5jho1_500.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presently this is only in their 'budget' models
mircea_popescu: seriously, you'd buy some toy with a single port ?
ben_vulpes: i would like to not have to use portable boxes
asciilifeform: but if i needed a portable unix box today, i would be forced to buy a crapple machine.
ben_vulpes: enough hot air to float a vax
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: isn't it a marvelous thing
mircea_popescu: why do you people persist in buying this crap
ben_vulpes: want to plug in device and charge at the same time?
ben_vulpes: oh and surely i've bitched about the hilarious external port layout of the most current model
ben_vulpes: but $shop uses macs to deploy software on macware
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't have one because of that
mircea_popescu: oh you need the gpu ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no, though it has permanently soldered ram. it is simply that crapple refuses to support the gpu
mircea_popescu: what;'s the rub ? can't put enough ram on it ?
ben_vulpes: so trivially miserable
asciilifeform: but at one point i needed to run a java turd for some teleconference thing and it worked.
asciilifeform: the thing is almost fantastically useless
mod6: yeah, i was thinking that was the case Mr. P. Just wanted to throw it out there before I start pulling 'em
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 02:46:43; ben_vulpes: el capitan quest, day three: os x still refuses to upgrade xcode 6 to xcode 7.1, a prerequisite for el capitan (or is it the other way around? once i run all of these permutations i'll have to check that set).
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Well, you could work your way up starting with an apple newton, and maybe someday achive an IBM AS/400 ans still further in the future a system/360 "box"
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 01:20:10; mod6: asciilifeform: if the Foundation is going to host & sign OpenSSL/Boost/BDB, I'll also need to host buildroot + buildroots deps, no?
mircea_popescu: investopedia article fails to mention fugger ? derps.
ben_vulpes: it's just too much for my puny frame
ben_vulpes: the macbook is too heavy to press, it's not like an air or anything
BingoBoingo: Have you tried squatting it in sets of 5?
ben_vulpes: my fate is horrendous cobbled-together towers of abstractions
BingoBoingo: Just correct your machines and put them on OS 7.5.1
ben_vulpes: el capitan quest, day three: os x still refuses to upgrade xcode 6 to xcode 7.1, a prerequisite for el capitan (or is it the other way around? once i run all of these permutations i'll have to check that set). ☟︎
BingoBoingo: there's the good book, the big book, the little black book, the BBQook
BingoBoingo: It gets confusing all these "The [adjective] Book" titles
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: that is a good book
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Ah, I dunno the original source.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: from "let's panic about babies", according to the girl.
pete_dushenski: well, i'm out like a trout. laters!
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: My sobriety has given me free time so I am exploring the world's many religions and comparing them. At the moment Brodinism seems to be winning.
BingoBoingo: I never knew this stuff was in the bible
BingoBoingo: Ah,"Thus, when you pray in the squat rack, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the Smith machines and on the ellipticals, that they may be praised by others. For they work for false gains of false praise." - Masshuge 6:2
pete_dushenski: at the outside
pete_dushenski: panta's firmly in the 'roll-over on own, stand-up with one held hand for balance' category.
BingoBoingo: From the good book "Blessed are the swole, for they will inherit the earth - Masshuge 5:5"
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Seriously though. Is pantagruel up to benching and squatting plates, or is he still working on an unloaded bar.
pete_dushenski: NO to woman's perspective, YES to men's !
mod6: Anyway, that's one major task still hanging out there. I'd like to get that done before we ``release''. Have all the required deps signed & hosted so that the rotor-build script I've been passing around can be changed to pull the stuff directly from the foundation.
mod6: asciilifeform: if the Foundation is going to host & sign OpenSSL/Boost/BDB, I'll also need to host buildroot + buildroots deps, no? ☟︎
mod6: anyway, my apologies for missing that stuff on the last go-around :/
mod6: but I think this update will be a full-everything-signed distribution again. and if this version is acceptable, maybe I'll publish the genesis of it sometime later.
mod6: i actually have a v-genesis.vpatch for this new v99997 version as well.
mod6: here's a vdiff of the changes (for now): http://dpaste.com/0NHDQBG.txt
mod6: oh and removed two spots where there was a trailing space at the end of a line.
mod6: replaced those with spaces.
mod6: also changed were two extraneous tabs that got in there during the refactorization of the ante/desc subroutines.
mod6: (added an automated test for this, passed.)
mod6: i've fixed this locally, and am testing currently.
