shinohai: I shouldn't kvetch.
That shell is really reliable and it isn't even my box.

testing for
TEST2
mod6: yeah, bit more stuff is required. hoping
to get it wrapped up in
the next few weeks here.
mod6: yah, parts of
this script are old and need
to be changed. it's certainly not finalized. just
trying
to find out if
the rest is doing what it should.
mod6: anyway, all
thats really required
to ensure it works is
that perl is installed, Graph::Easy is installed, and
that keys are named as <wot_id>.asc in
the hand created ~/.wot dir.
mod6: i got it
to work 2x for me, and
trinque ran it... shanohai is gonna
try it out.
mod6: asciilifeform: so I basically built
this script which builds a pressed v0.5.4 via my V implementation inside of rotor
shinohai: @ asciilifeform I have had a
tumultuous few weeks with
the HD crash, gotta rebuild V

mircea_popescu: but it's
the sort of atechnical imbecillity in either case.
ascii_field: or is
this 'woman' in
the metaphorical sense, i.e. a bloke who's been
to
the dulap
mircea_popescu: basicallt
they had a woman in
tech. anonymous, as we don't know who came up with
this "idea", but
the cuntcheese stinks
through.
ascii_field: so nothing afaik came of
this, it is of historical interest.
ascii_field: (afaik
this was never
taken seriously by anyone)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: microshit demanded
that drivers act as stoolies and search for signs
that box is instrumented/tampered
ascii_field: well, as dead as a
thing for which
there is no replacement can be
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
there's really no point left in pretending. gcc is dead.

ascii_field: 'Microsoft recommends
that drivers be continually suspicious. Is
that video decompressor
taking longer
than you
think it should? Did
the voltage just drop unexpectedly on
the PCI bus? Vista has a concept it calls "tilt bits", as in
the "tilt" mechanism on a pinball machine. When a driver sees something suspicious, it bumps
the "tilt bits"; if
too many suspicious activities happen close

tbh, i'm completely oblivious of
the indivual players. i don't watch
the games i bet on. i often place bets on
teams i haven't heard of. i
trust
the people doing
the analyses, our incentives being aligned. i like
to view is as an investment and detach myself emotionally from
the games
☝︎ ascii_field: ^ microshit ~really~ wants
to help gcc die
ascii_field: 'We'll
try
to keep
this up

trying

the CLANG/LLVM community get onto Windows.'

times
jurov: ascii_field: i can restore
the database from snapshot instead of restarting from 0

the way.
mircea_popescu: what was written in english
that'\s worth reading ? and who
teaches
them french [other
than
to read postmodern shit] ? who
teaches american kids german ? who beats his 16yo every night between 11:30 and 12:00 until he's finished kritik ?
mircea_popescu: "college
trains libertards" simmer down,
there isn't anything for kids
to read
that'd yield any other result!
mircea_popescu: writing style?" He gets an A.
The problem is
that
the first kid is strongly disincentivized from pursuing his idea, from becoming a better
thinker, in very specific ways. "
mircea_popescu: Meanwhile, Balboa
the el ed major searches carefully in his
textbook and discovers
the cause was... SLAVERY. He airlifts
two sentences each out of five other books, asks for an extension because his grandmother died, adds nine hundred filler words including "for all intensive purposes" and "he could care less", and
then waits in
the parking lot
to
threaten you with "but
this is a history class. Why are you grading my
mircea_popescu: "Here's an example. Say your essay question is, "describe
the causes of
the American Civil War." Ok, so far everything
the kid knows he learned from Prentice Hall, but something inside him
thinks
the answer is: LABOR COSTS. Hmmm. Insightful and unexpected, let's see what he does with it. But
there's not much he can do with it,
there aren't many obvious resources
to pursue
this "feeling" he has. He does what he can.
jurov: but
then you won't have data integrity checksums, either
jurov: yes, such
turdgnomery boggles
the mind. any
time anyone reported
that,
they were like "oh just
turn off COW"
jurov: i can live without
that
jurov: and
to see disk usage per snapshot, quotas are needed
jurov: punkman i wanted
to have snapshots in case sometimes goes sour
jurov: i
turnd
them off and it started flying aka 1 block/10sec
jurov: when
they are
turned on, btrfs-cleaner is prone
to 100% hog cpu for hours
jurov: soooo... my adventures with stator+cheapest chinese ssd available were stalled... not due
to stator nor
the ssd, but due
to btrfs quotas :/
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they've been fighting with / running away from
their reflection ever since
then, because lo! idiot knows ONE coping strategy, which is, denial of reality.
mircea_popescu: i beheaded / humiliated some, which is
THE BASIS upon which bitcoin
took a further step and became bitcoin of 2012.
mircea_popescu: a sort of person of whom you personally remind me a lot, by
the way.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: at
THAT
time, a community of professional bullshitters, connecting
to each other
through playing chess and being passive-agressive, resistant and self protecting babies, held "communioty oppinions"
mircea_popescu: you have
to realise
that back in 2011,
the number of people who were calling pirate a scam was equal
to
the ocunt of me and my agents.

ty, I'll see what I can do with it
adlai: i'm curious about it, is all. kakobrekla makes q.b-a publicly available
through his kind soul, or

track which
time periods interest people, or something
mike_c: maybe i missed
the question
mike_c: i've been saving

adlai would like
