mircea_popescu:
as per the "males -- born to die trying ; females -- born to carefully & spawn" theory of biological gender difference, it even makes sense. in any case, the included prediction : i say there's not going to be a better (oral ; over the internet) gender test.
mircea_popescu: in fact, this is SO fucking ~biologically~ specific i'm even proposing it
as the ~best currently known~ gender test. 1. female path : what are you going to do ? "im going to try X" why X ? "it's what everyone else tries". 2. male path : what are you going to do ? "i'm going to try Y" why Y ? "never fucking heard of it before"
diana_coman: most game's economies
as far I know are a sort of "feeling like an X economy" really
diana_coman: well yes, sitting while flapping about
as to how not-sitting
diana_coman: and by "breaks" there I meant more like fundamentally break
as in ...it's not really designed well; (because why design esp for "so that it can break and be repaired")
mircea_popescu: this is even why we play seriously : so
as to have broken things that have been fixed (and broken again and fixed again, xn) rather than shiny untouched "things".

as best can tell is a very credible and not at all falen angel.
mircea_popescu: dumb
as it is, it's not merely widespread, it's universal. "the path to making money in a service economy is not at all doing exceptionally well at serving, but on the contrary, being a
fucktarded romanian and saying no all the time!"
mircea_popescu: just
as fucking long
as it doesn't amount to a hill of beans, they're a-for it.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 14:07 mircea_popescu: the basic, and really only, rule of hermeneutics is : that then you've understood a text when, far from its shortcomings appearing inexplicable errors, they become the actual pillars upon which the damned thing is constructed, and what originally seemed to you sensible and structural takes its true place
as accidental.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the concern's not so much the monastery. the problem is that stupidity is self-reinforcing. i never met an idiot AWARE he's being moronic. on the contrary --
as an amusing reversal of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1505418 the very specific quality of idiocy / qualification for being an idiot is the ~being persuaded by idiocy~.
☝︎ diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: note the dissonance in your approach - if you want reputation here, you need to do stuff that is useful here (there's a long list of such stuff that needs doing, pick, start on it and document
as you go/ask politely and intelligently for help when you need it); onth if you want "reputation" for landing a programming job irl, dropping links here won't help (I doubt the Edgecase thing will help either but that's entirely up to

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
as per tradition (sadly, the WRONG tradition, of common law title-deed), can i has logline re this or anything ?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful,
as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-25 02:45 mod6: So the 0.03542985 includes the price of the physical box, and a charge for rack space. we broke this down into a daily cost, then multiplied it by 19,
as we figured this out on the 12th.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The dulap spare was yet another monthly, that one strictly billed
as a colo, which hanbot played with cuntoo and then the subscription was canceled when that experiment was aborted. The S.NSA spare is cold at present.
mircea_popescu: i'm not trying to eat your lunch here, you should be paid a fair amount ; but note you that "sin" was ongoing for

☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: remarkable just how useless computers are these days. so first, i chugged in 2gb of ubuntu. the moment it came up it wanted to get a further 450mb of "updates". then it turns out ~every game out there has pretty much outsourced its distribution (and, i suspect, debugging, such
as it is) to steam (with a minor gog presence
as well). so you gotta install steam. that's only 50mb or so, but a third layer by now.

as coinmuon bc of the sign at the doorbell). Then there's Latincoin, which is also there athe 'embassy' and also doesn't even exist and is only piching to 'investors' to get money with no product. Last time they were asking for $7

diana_coman: what pops out to me from all those "other half" is the ...wooden tongue in there; different wooden perhaps than realizari marete but just
as wooden
as far
as I can tell.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course it's coming down a trickle pipe, so it was a 10 hour download when it started, half hour ago, then moved to 15 hours
as i started ranting, and by now it's claiming to be done in 35 hours.
mircea_popescu: so
as a factual matter, i expect ima pay something, and i expect it'll be entirely meaningless. in which case, da fuck do i care whether it's a mobile phone and you "
own the games" or a nintendo and you "own the cartridges" except... well, you know, you virtually own them.
mircea_popescu: all joking aside : the best answer i could produce for the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-01#1916471 question stands
as "choose between steamos and ubuntu", which in plain terms is "do you wish to make your computer a supernintendo and buy
virtual cartridges for it ? or would you rather make your computer a mobile phone ?"
☝︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not necessarily. The would-be schizo pensions turned into a sorta ghetto foodstamp supplement
as described by tlp.
BingoBoingo: electric airplanes were his kink when he first showed up
as "ninjashogun"
BingoBoingo: Anyways, at this rate US activists complaints are likely
as useful
as active intelligence gathering to foreign analysts.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in the US war machine: "“I seem to be getting inundated with black female officers who are being disciplined for dumb stuff,” says Coretta Gray, who spent 13 years
as an officer in the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps, the military’s branch for military justice and military law, and continues to consult on cases."
mircea_popescu: the logic behind
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-01#1916530 if it wasn't self obvious : secure box and gaming box are exactly opposite design constraints. computer games (
as a distinct and opposite category to eulora) are by definition code that'll run on your box without your having run it. if you're going to do that ANYWAY, might
as well save your time.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, indeed not. think about how this works : a) the comment includes a link not-to-trilema. so it's potentially a spammer ; then b) uses an "vps" ip, which has a very high likeliness of being previously used to a spammer, and marked
as such in trilema's own antispam.

as fine a measure of code quality
as could ever be hoped for : DLC, "disentangled lines count", the number of lines which can be changed.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: AHA, the catch is IEA doesn't count Russia, China, or India
as "advanced economies"
mp_en_viaje: perhaps to be given
as a ratio with loc,
as 78/160k.
diana_coman: by now I suspect most code out there is the fungus sort
as that's how things "naturally grow"

As it stands I have two full pages of hand-written notes with various c and apache-stack likbez, and that was just so I could understand up to line 152 of
https://github.com/mbattyani/mod_lisp/blob/master/mod_lisp2.c (only 900 or so lines left to eat). I most likely will publish these notes
as a blog post once all is said and done
mp_en_viaje: then i could continue this way to block 620k. just
as long
as i have both a) longest chain and b) a more difficultuous block sometime early on, my chain is technically, by protocol rules, the true chain.
