as a demand to play tetris instead of work.
ben_vulpes: over my head, asciilifeform.
as though i were five, please?

pete_dushenski: "“Black Twitter” may be infamous for scorning white women like Rachel Dolezal who think they are black, but it has also pioneered the idea of hashtag activism, such
as #SayHerName, which highlighted the invisibility of black women in discussions of police violence in black communities, or #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, with its allusion to tensions between black and white feminists, to offer but two examples."
mircea_popescu: "To get Heaviside away from Newton Abbot, his brother Charles arranged for him to live with his sister-in-law, Mary Way, at her home in Devon. Since Mary lived alone, having the eccentric Heaviside live upstairs from her seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, things got even more bizarre at that point. Heaviside insisted on treating Mary
as a slave despite her being the owner of the house. Not only did he order
☟︎ cazalla: i regret that high school was not similar to this place.. come each day because i want to
as do other students
as do other teachers, actually learn something type of thing
trinque: we got into some fun of that nature in the last two years. one can learn a lot about computers bored
as hell in TX public school, if he's awake
mircea_popescu: phf and there's nothing wrong with the process per se,
as a distraction. but you have to admit the only way it was an acceptable behaviour when you were 16 was because YOU ALSO WENT OT SCHOOL.
mircea_popescu: but those people are "lest concern"
as they say about overrepresented, nuisance species.
mircea_popescu: "my gimp 1.2 is
as good
as your photoshop" rms style << i still maintain pretty much any version of gimp is better than photohsop.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile california is just about to fall into the fucking ocean. oddly enough. problems it didn't have
as a "failed state", it has in abundance
as a whatever it is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is kinda why i was mocking the "lisp
as its own thing" thing days back
mircea_popescu: what if i make the program branch, and then load itself
as $_ ?
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 21:09:39; mircea_popescu: gavrea, whom i've recently mentioned, had a very similar saying to distinguish between the "mathematical understanding"
as described by funkenstein and the genuine article, by using the difference between the romanian words muzician (musician) and muzicant (roughly speaking, illiterate gypsy that can play by ear)

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 15:52:48; ben_vulpes: Using 'if' or the ternary operator
as a function is quite common in perl. Using data structures to control flow is common in perl. Trying to learn C# after learning perl was like running head first into a brick wall. I'm really glad this guy is trying to make programming a bit more perl-like."
mircea_popescu: but V is the best simulation of how actual math learning happens (in those brains actually capable to learn math) that we ever had
as a fucking species.
☟︎ phf: well, i have a 2.4 box that runs "if your dodgy stack fails, this must remain" operations, like email, sms, incidentally that is also last version i can find my way around (pretty sure massive amd/intel commit blogs came later), but it's impractical to use it
as main system, unless you go to extreme measures of "my gimp 1.2 is
as good
as your photoshop" rms style
phf: desktop linux destroyed linux
as a system for professional workstations. poetering (or whatever) made his name on desktop-ification of subsystems that were supposedly "hard for common user"
phf: this is also roughly the period when people running various unixes on their thinkpads imho decided that
as long
as you have to deal with shitty code, might
as well use a mac, which let you run same userspace, at the time still had an opensource kernel, etc.
funkenstein_:
as I see it the reason to have a crapple is you can pretend to know nothing about computers

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
as the headcount of romanian kids toiling with gheba during five decades.
mircea_popescu: i don't think
as many people lived the bible
as a whetstone in their life during the whole history of christianity
mircea_popescu: In fact, even the term “word problem” is not used in Russia, because the word “problem” usually means a word problem, while non-word problems are called “exercises”. << exactly correct ftr. the difference was even enshrined
as such, in the ro equiv of "standards" cca 60s.
mircea_popescu: and with this observation, the world
as observed suddenly makes significantly more sense.
mircea_popescu: not to mention that the number 1,
as well
as the number 0 and the number 78 are "self-similar" on all scales, in a technical sense or not.
mircea_popescu: the idea to use this
as a heat source is older than the aeroplane. i had perfectly functional schematics in books published in the fucking 60s.
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 03:24:57; pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: you around ? can you educate me on what the nytimes is referring to here : "The schematics, prosecutors said, revealed the design of a device known
as a pocket heater. The equipment is used in semiconductor research, and Dr. Xi had signed an agreement promising to keep its design a secret."
punkman: "does not need physical contact with the substance being tested because it uses a beam of light in what is known
as Near Infrared Spectroscopy."
mircea_popescu: it's that they do not show up for work, they get the same per hour pay (which on the strength of that alone they should not, for the record,
as i'm not paying the same an hour the guy who works 16 hours and the gal that works 6.5) and so logically at the end of the year they get less.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it does "something" and for
as long etc, i'll fail to understand why it remains a thing.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: for so long
as you think this, you will catastrophically misunderstand why apple remains a thing
trinque: cazalla: yep, back up now;
as long
as they are that responsive I'm pleased
mircea_popescu: "
as long
as the state agrees it's 700, doesn't jack shit matter what they do"
mircea_popescu: in any consumer driven market, the price is the only signal of everything. and you do not give
as much
as a faint whiff of selling the 1k item for ~20 bux. not ever.
assbot: Logged on 21-08-2015 03:58:42; mircea_popescu: fun fact, since for some reason i'm doing history now. romania's head rabi (niemirower) died in 1940. he was succeded by one alex safran, who was 29 at that time. and by virtue of being head rabi, the young man also had an ex officio seat in the romanian senate. but for not being yet 40 years of age
as the senate required, he asked for, and obtained, a special derrogation from the high chamber of cas
assbot: Logged on 11-09-2015 13:56:45; asciilifeform: then again jurov is fortunate in not being personally concerned with this matter, just
as eagle does not concern himself with muddy roads...
mircea_popescu: anyway : yes
as adoption grows (the real kind, not verbal), the average size of the unspent will decrease.
trinque: "They will train to repulse an attack from the air and to defend the coast, which means firing artillery and testing short-range air defense systems, " the source said, adding that the exercise had been agreed with the Syrian government. << might
as well have said "against US airstrikes"
assbot: Logged on 11-09-2015 14:55:23; pete_dushenski: gotta love those statist stats. what would we do if we knew that poor people were fat and poor because we were redistributing wealth so
as to ensure that they stay that way in perpetuity ?
ascii_field: 'Yes, opium was a murderous agent in our blood streams. Yes, we were addicted. But we gained a gravelly tone that made friends’ poetry recitations bearable. If we expired bit by bit, we were comfortable in our growing numbness. Opium eased away frustrations and failings. This was a traditional addiction respectful of our history, of traditions that allowed us to go with the flow
as we socialised around glowing charcoa
pete_dushenski: looks to be ~$1/lb
as a going rate, shockingly, exactly like in that trilema article
pete_dushenski: gotta love those statist stats. what would we do if we knew that poor people were fat and poor because we were redistributing wealth so

☟︎ pete_dushenski: "“Food insecurity” is a statistic designed to mislead. USDA defines food insecurity
as being “uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food to meet the needs of all their members because they had insufficient money or other resources for food.”"
phf: you could target picolisp from sbcl, same way
as you're right now targeting the unix to common lisp machine abstraction layer, that's written in c
phf: no, i showed her pictures from consensus though,
as a reminder, she double down on her studies of turkish language
mircea_popescu: "11. Don't know a thing? No worries you are not alone, but that shouldn't stop you from blogging
as it doesn't stop others, you can still make money just by blogging on topics that are interesting"
mircea_popescu: just, not really
as a hotel. pretty decent setting for a remake of diabolique tho
mircea_popescu:
as soon
as they are ready, the reservation system and Bitcoin integration should be ready also.
mircea_popescu: the boat's still missed. but i gotta say it's fucking hysterical to obvserve the US
as a society behaves collectively exactly like every ustard individually. haughty pretense at first, desperate flailing once it's too late.
mircea_popescu: Blythe Masters says US lags in blockchain use (ft.com) / Over $60 million in funding raised for bitcoin companies this week alone. / bla bla << "To sum up : what we have so far are a few millions invested in hopeless start-ups that have no talent, no business model, aren't solving a problem and generally speaking don't exist other than
as a tag on an orange calling it a potato." /
http://trilema.com/2013/the-future-of- ☟︎ shinohai: lol. XT camp takes it
as a sign they have already won the game obviously.
assbot: Logged on 11-09-2015 03:24:17; pete_dushenski: "internet companies "across China" are hiring "pretty, talented girls that help create a fun work environment. Dubbed "programming cheerleaders," these young women serve to chit-chat and play Ping-Pong with employees
as part of their role."
mircea_popescu: ie, you'll never have that many legitimate txns that also consolidate. especially
as the size opf bitcoin economy increases.
mircea_popescu: because you know for a fact
as btc will run up to 10k next, the "consumers need this improvement" thing will be lowering the spam limit.
mircea_popescu: There is a 32 bit version (written in C), a 64 bit version (written in asm), a 64-bit emulator
as well
as a Java version.
pete_dushenski: “GoDaddy reasonably relied in good faith on the representations made by the registrants of the Accused Domains stating that the registration of those domains did not violate any third party trademark rights,” he wrote. “
As a result, GoDaddy could not have used or trafficked in any of the Accused Domains with a subjective bad faith intent to profit from the AMPAS Marks until such time
as GoDaddy received no
pete_dushenski: cazalla: interesting choice to call those coindesk photos
as belonging to 'dixie'
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell trinque wd on deedbot-,
as ever. any progress with the bitbet integration ?
pete_dushenski: very back of napkin, yes, but apple comes out ahead,
as you'd fully expect.
pete_dushenski: now if apple's 'iphone upgrade program' were available in canada, which is isn't, this phone would have to be ~cdn$50/month, seeing
as usd$ pricing 'starts at $32/mo' for base iphone 6s with 32 gb and cdn-usd is 0.75.
pete_dushenski: "The comparison of actual and counterfactual development shows that the presence of mafia lowers the growth path, at the same time
as murders increase sharply relative to the synthetic control. Evidence from electricity consumption and growth accounting suggest that lower GDP reflects a net loss of economic activity, due to the substitution of private capital with less productive public investment, rather than a
cazalla: you don't care for some diet snappe and reeses bars
as in that pic just linked pete_dushenski ?
pete_dushenski: compared and contrast, if you will, dear, log readers, with the steaks eaten at 'conference 3',
as documented on trilema.
