mircea_popescu: (though i've read many convincing arguments

they can fucking
think in
their pigdin
jurov: mircea_popescu: "ignore whitespaces" is half of
the source alf posted me as example
mircea_popescu: this is not how
things fgucking work.
text means latin.

this girl, what need of her fambly ? we'll just live
together under a blanked of sky, alone, like
those
two kids in
the chinese myth!".
mircea_popescu: no matter how elegant
the pretense can be made

jurov: meh. i'll believe you both when you in

too.
mircea_popescu: and just because you can't see where
this problem breaks shit down from where you sit doesn't mean it's not gonna. it will.
mircea_popescu: just because you can elegantly package idiocy in sexpr does not alter what

assbot: Logged on 31-10-2015 16:37:36; *: asciilifeform is l0lzing over how we are replacing

the part of asciilifeform and asciilifeform playing
the part of mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: text means a very specific
thing. latin alphabet. nothing else. if you'd rather work with 文本, work with 文本.
mod6: asciilifeform
