mircea_popescu: nfi that anyone's getting into fixing extant clients, and no intention to make anyone write a new irc client, so...
mircea_popescu: in fairness though, this should be fixed at client level.
mircea_popescu: lol check it out diana_coman , we pinged each other at the ~same exact time
mircea_popescu: not that i see the benefit of retargetting to say python or bash ; nor does it seem sensible to do php work in cl. but as a principle.
mircea_popescu: the one cool thing about a complete testing suite is that it'd even allow rewriting into other langs.
mircea_popescu: i expect going forward tests will be 10x to 100x the vpatch bulk
mircea_popescu: yep. blesfully argentines are self-limiting disease. like bed bugs.
mircea_popescu: and then the electricity, they're gonna make on coal fired plants or what.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the air is cleaner than in, say, bogota. on account of all of argentina having less industry than bogota.
mircea_popescu: it is not true re area around obelisk. i lived there, for like a year, literally on the block 1 of corrientes, within 50m of the actual obelisk.
mircea_popescu: there's cockroaches roaming free EVERYWHERE in town, the "skyscrapers", the business district, all residential areas,
mircea_popescu: are you fucking kidding me ? there's no place in europe or the us, or mexico or fucking anywhere nearly as filthy,
mircea_popescu: dude, buenos aires is literal waste dump level, 100 debris bits per square meter rustling softly in the wind each night.
mircea_popescu: nor is it clean, in any sense. it's so fulla garbage as only india can compare.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "consequences of bad software", the mars polar lander is suspiciously never mentioned.
mircea_popescu: i find it really satisfyingly funny, the sort of problems we manage to trivially summon
mircea_popescu: such wunderbar winful scheme, it's a fucking wonder they didn't come up with it / use it
mircea_popescu: so yeah. weird baked in. (gossipd, obviously, will not have the problem, everyone'll hear "here's what you allededly said" from multiple sources)
mircea_popescu: we ~could~ have a rule asking bots to log themselves as they receive the echo rather than as they send the line ; but that'd only work in a sane world where it echos, afaik irc does not
mircea_popescu: alright, but that's different, specifically in that there's no god-given time
mircea_popescu: but i dunno that it extends as far as an expectation of functional retrospective backlink decorations
mircea_popescu: yes, but i never contemplated this ctulhu beast of it.
mircea_popescu: so this is a reason to introduce it as standard practice for live links ?!
mircea_popescu: seems fundamentally disingenuous, "oh, you clicked on a.com ? here's my own version"
mircea_popescu: i dunno i'm so crazy about redirecting the links, either.
mircea_popescu: i am not discussing db divergence ; i am discussing line rewriting.

mircea_popescu: i was thinking, all this shit is much too not fragile, wtf are we doing here!
mircea_popescu: one of these days ima notice one of these in time to actually stick some lines in the silence
mircea_popescu: the area is populated, like in europe, not wilderness, like in the us. there's a church within a day's walk in whichever direction
mircea_popescu: what i mean : multiple bear sightings. this one just managed to film
mircea_popescu: this is one of a bunch, actually. we even saw a hedgehog cross the road towards sunset
mircea_popescu: the logical move'd have been to take capital to brasov, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: in any case -- the only good army in the country (4th transylvania, stationed around cluj and made up of you know, mountain folk) kinda away from bucharest
mircea_popescu: ie, romanians never thought very much of russkis. nfi why and wherefore, but it's a historical fact. making their current thinking the world of ustards even more shocking.
mircea_popescu: not to mention, telling the idiots they were idiots re czech, and besides... even when gorbi took over ceausescu saw him more like an inept son figure than anythign
mircea_popescu: nfi how the logic went, trivial to bomb out of existence, most of it is being bombed out of existence by yearly rains
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in utterly mindblowing meta : nutaku.net/games/7-angels is a... game that... well... it simulates dating. for the people for whom the normal simulated dating apps ain't simulacrous enough, they have the next step over.
mircea_popescu: very hard to match the comfort of a haremcar in any plane/train etc.
