ben_vulpes: if your wages are subject
to garnishment you *are* unter.
ben_vulpes: more of a
tool of wives and mothers
than
the state and snitches
though, isn't it?
ben_vulpes: the west may have been brought under dominion of
the feds with marriage laws, but
the whole country is dominated by CPS.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
this was a decade or
three ago.
ben_vulpes: "when it comes
to children,
the us /is/ worse
than russia."
☟︎ ben_vulpes: wrapped up, bundled, swaddled, generally speaking insulated from
the cold.
ben_vulpes: "this is worse
than russia! even kgb would not
take children...my wife will never go along..."
ben_vulpes: "you don't understand.
they. will.
take. your. children."
ben_vulpes: "oh,
they'll
take your children away if you don't conform
to us norms."
ben_vulpes: so my father managed a gentleman who'd moved from
the soviet block many years ago.
the man walks into my fathers office one day, asks for some privacy
to
talk about american
things. "in odessa, we put children out
to nap. cold air, is good for little lungs! anyways," hands my father a letter, "what is
this 'child protective services?"
ben_vulpes: our conversation
the other night. "wot suggests i..."
ben_vulpes: anything
touching
the request/response cycle? apis etc?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what, by
the way do you mean by "web work"?
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> So how is Scarlett Johannson gonn go from hot
to
tumblresque ? << Remember
that series of films where she went from a spy
to a public figure holding fucking glowsticks on a movie poster?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
they have
their place. i find it convenient
to have
tests when rewriting large swaths of a
thing either i've written: with
the behavior codified, i don't have
to manually poke at
the
thing
to ensure
that it still behaves
the way it did before i
tore it apart and put it back
together.
ben_vulpes: i
think you may have even cited
that before
ben_vulpes: "my only job around here is
to scowl loudly at bad commits and demand more
tests" - $bzprtnr
mod6: I'll
try
to chat you up later
tonight.
mod6: shinohai:
thanks for doing all
that
testing on V. looks like I might need another round yet before
tomorrow.
mod6: ok everything passed. I'm glad I wrote all of
those. makes regression
testing on core functionality like
this so much easier.
mod6: running automated
tests...
mod6: ok, last place of 'each' removed -- only one more line of code required
there.
mod6: anyway, will update later when I get a chance.
thx!
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, perl v5.005 or whatever has been in use since 98, lot of systems have from
that version forward. would be good
to support older versions.
mod6: i've got one more spot in
the code
to change out 'each'
mod6: it's only 2 more lines of code really. so it's not a bad solution, and
this affords me not
to have
to require perl 5.12 or greater.
mod6: i've re-written
the
traversals of
the map for ante & desc and my new changes passed
the automated
tests.
mod6: so apparently
the 'each' keyword is pretty much
to be avoided like
the plague.
mircea_popescu: and by "Some girls" we mean "the vast majority of human females of reproductive age", but hey,
they don't read random derpy us website nobody reads so
they don't count\
ben_vulpes: (but you know
they're weird and perverted etc)

mircea_popescu: "
there should be no instinct at all
to defend such a jerk, and yet----- and yet
that is precisely
the instinct many people get." << check it out, usg wants monopoly on orcdom now. IT can defend
the outcasts so
they can
terrorize
the cattle, i'm not "allowed
to" because hey,
there can be only one and it can't be me, amirite ?
mircea_popescu: it's not
that
there should be no controversy
THIS way.
There should be, and really
there is not, any controversy
the other way. ~Some guys~ SHOULD
tell a girl
they'll rape her. If
they don't, how are you
to stand out ? And "girls" in
the general must be convinced in
their bones
that either
they put out with
their choice or get collectively raped by everyone.
This part seems
to work okay, anyway.
mircea_popescu: "There should be no controversy: a guy should never
tell a girl he's going
to rape her, online or not, kidding or not." umm,... and whence doth
that should come from ? what nonsense is
this, anyway ?
mircea_popescu: funny how
this happens, on perhaps 1% of articles, i actually want
to add more stuff in
the morning.

think, wow, he's a big player. You don't realize
that if he didn't exist
there would be some other person in his exact position, who would also have become a Distinguished Professor, won awards, written 450 publications, etc.
The machine was already in place, his slot was going
to get filled; his mind didn't discover
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ytou ever found
that
tlp where he says "x derp is just
there because
the seat existed" ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and how does it relate
to what some idiot sow did ? << because people keep
talking about it as if it were important. and so what
the hell's
the difference.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> with a seance ? <<
they just ask
the other people.
