nubbins`: 1 level left to complete in captain toad
cazalla: trinque, tbh, that made me even more determined, not saying not to hit kids but i think it needs to be applied in a manner my own parents failed to do
nubbins`: i'm tempted to grab Worms 2
danielpbarron: yeah i'm still watching the video, makes me want to get it again
trinque: danielpbarron: this game with the dominoes looks fun
nubbins`: isn't robert mugabe the current head of the AU?
assbot: ‘Bitcoin will be the Technology that Unifies a United States of Africa’ ... ( http://bit.ly/1OOgVgS )
trinque: kid: "I'm going to kill you all." parent: *SLAP* kid: "I'm very sorry."
cazalla: trinque, parents who would rather be doing something else than parenting
trinque: what parent would let cops and bureaucrats educate their children at all?
cazalla: apparently there are better carts than the sky3ds but at the time, that is all that was available for the firmware my 3ds has
nubbins`: oh, there's an R4 3DS now.
nubbins`: i had an R4DS cart for my ds, took microsd
cazalla: nubbins`, the sky3ds is pretty sweet, but will only load 3ds games, not backward compatible
cazalla: danielpbarron, copper asked me multiple time if i actually had guns heh, this was shortly after the columbine shootings mind you
danielpbarron: level starts with dominoes set up, and you have to move them around so that you can push one and have them all fall over. And there are different types that react different ways ☟︎
danielpbarron: i was thinking of "Pushover"
nubbins`: you were thinking of Worms, maybe?
danielpbarron: oh i just realized i was thinking of a different game, but this one was also great.
assbot: Lemmings 2: The Tribes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1OOgpzv )
trinque: great music too
danielpbarron: i think i played it on DOS or windows 95
nubbins`: the game's only $20usd, but they give you the wii u AND 3ds versions with purchase, and i don't have a 3ds
danielpbarron: i used to love that game, never finished it
nubbins`: so you can grab cool new levels that others have created, etc
nubbins`: danielpbarron seems so. and there's a level creation/sharing thing
nubbins`: luckily for me, all the text in korean mario kart was just transliterated english
danielpbarron: i'll try to find out which it is and get back to you, but if it's compatible I think i'd like to take you up on the offer
trinque: nubbins`: not at all; the western christian church has gotten equally boring.
nubbins`: i had two actual DS carts (mario kart korean version, advance wars 2) before i bought an SD loader
nubbins`: i think they look pretty similar
danielpbarron: i'm looking up images now, and it looks like i might have the "DS"
nubbins`: trinque only the socialist state?
trinque: let the cattle have their safe public school where they memorize a few useful facts, and let the miscreants join some academy where their mistakes blow their hands off
danielpbarron: oh and I think I have a "3ds" that someone left with me as collateral over a bitcoin deal and later said keep it
trinque: nubbins`: trying to stamp out weird is precisely the sin of the socialist state
nubbins`: cazalla i had a similar device to your sky3ds or w/e for my original DS
trinque: they want you to know that they can bring you back to prison at any moment
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 22:49:42; cazalla: trinque, i threatened to shoot a bunch of kids at my school via icq.. made front page of local rag and blurred out face on local tv, no name though :\ probably get 10 years like that isis kid these days
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271941 << I got arrested in the principal's office when a librarian who had a grudge against me (she was the mother of some kids in the military and didn't like that i didn't stand for the "pledge of allegiance") ratted me out for yelling "i'm gonna kill you" (not in earnest, it was just the thing to say at the time) at some kids who made a habit of teasing me ☝︎
nubbins`: o look, one of the local prostitutes seems to be pregnant
nubbins`: will be quite the spectacle either way, yep.
nubbins`: just tired of boots on their throats
nubbins`: mp can probably relate tales of .ro folk going apeshit in streets in late 80s, early 90s, and they weren't muslim ☟︎
nubbins`: going apeshit in the streets is generally a direct result of treatment, either by other citizens or government ☟︎
trinque: it seems to be the perfect thing to suck the socialist state completely dry
nubbins`: trinque, if you'd asked the british whether the irish were rather culturally similar, they'd have said no
trinque: muslims seem to be a few degrees more willing to go apeshit in the streets, or worse
trinque: the distinction I see is that those were still rather culturally similar to the folks already there, no?
nubbins`: this whole part of the country i live in was mainly settled by irish escaping the potato famine
trinque: heh, the era of the clusterfuck
trinque: really, no one says there has to be any sane solution ☟︎
nubbins`: might as well suggest the refugees head to usa.
nubbins`: as if anyone in the fucking world wants to live in saudi arabia
trinque: europe cannot maintain the political myth that people are equal, fungible, interchangable without accepting these refugees. ☟︎
nubbins`: "saudi arabia can house X refugees, why aren't they heading there?"
trinque: whether it's intended, it surely will head that direction.
shinohai: I'll bet Islamic extremists are foaming at the mouth hoping to recruit a few. ☟︎
nubbins`: the cynic in me wonders if the whole "refugee quotas" thing is germany's push to cripple other EU economies
trinque: to say the very least
trinque: the idea that a million or more people are going to peacefully integrate with a country of roughly 80 million is questionable ☟︎
nubbins`: trinque my understanding is that it's not the numbers but the timing.
nubbins`: "look, see? refugees throwing rocks at police" under a photograph of a football riot from 2012.
trinque: mega-lol @ germany committing to allowing in a million refugees and closing its borders within a span of days
nubbins`: i'm actually playing captain toad treasure tracker atm
shinohai: Just ignore the problem and play refugee Mario.
nubbins`: as if the mattresses were not brought there by local citizens
nubbins`: as if somehow it makes more sense to bring a goddamn mattress on a train instead of your only link to the outside world
nubbins`: lots of people pointing to pictures of, e.g., mattresses & trash left behind in train stations, refugees holding "$600 cell phones" ☟︎
trinque: and the socialist state loves those
trinque: they're the ultimate victims
nubbins`: this whole refugee thing is really bringing the complete fucking idiots out of the woodwork
trinque: didn't these people see Children of Men?
nubbins`: it's not uncommon for serious cyclists (touring 100km+, racing, etc) to purchase high quality steel frames that were made 20+ years ago ☟︎
nubbins`: https://www.google.ca/search?q=bicycle+frame+failure&tbm=isch is not smth you want happening while you're doing 60km/h in traffic
nubbins`: most of the cost is in components; a frame is a frame (to some extent), but having your brake discs machined vs stamped from sheet makes a big difference for longevity as well as maintenance
nubbins`: $500+ will buy you something you can rely on to, e.g., get you to work/school/market every day for years without failure
nubbins`: $100 will buy you what is commonly referred to as a BSO -- a Bicycle-Shaped Object
nubbins`: asciilifeform: re: the cost of bicycles -- i'm reminded of your rant about how in computing, there's no "professional grade equipment", i.e. people who code for a living are using the same hw as people who check facebook all day long
shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 cukes worked swimmingly, thanks again.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << it has a keyboard. and this was before the age of 'must use a toothpick for this qwerty' idiocy. << It is truly a more impressive machine than I was anticipating. The screen is actually usefully large.
thestringpuller: “The C.E.O. has to be the virus,” Mr. Huang said. “To build a great company, you have to kill it a bit every day.”
thestringpuller: the CEO is so dope tho
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: because it is one of the great evils of our time.
trinque: my parents would've cracked my ass the other direction by now
trinque listens to the neighbor kid screaming "no" at his single mother for the 8th time
asciilifeform: (and NO it can't exist as txt, fuck you, buy a printer.)
asciilifeform: 'Pick your favorite expression that is zero but not easily simplified to zero by the CAS. Then divide by this zero and deduce all kinds of absurdities.'
ben_vulpes: might be 2010, now that i think of it.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that could easily be the last remaining such machine, the nvidia ball grid plague killed them all, i thought.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski remarkably few, actually. i have one 15" mbp from ~08 i think that's holding up remarkably well.
assbot: Computer Algebra: How does the TI-89 do it? - Mathematics Stack Exchange ... ( http://bit.ly/1MkIH79 )
asciilifeform: e to attempting to match the TI-89's level of automation. The fact that Mathematica, Sage, etc. also will not perform these simplifications without a 'hint' makes me feel a little better, but the question remains: How on earth did the TI engineers manage to do this with literally a tiny, tiny fraction of the computing power a desktop has?' ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'In my own CAS development experience, I've found it nearly impossible to do what the TI-89 does, that is, automatically perform these simplifications without wrapping them in a 'hint' function. I've found that both in terms of computational cost, and in pure software engineering difficulty, this is basically impossible to do. Every CAS I've ever built has involved horrendous debugging of infinite recursion and similar bugs du
chetty: << it has a keyboard. and this was before the age of 'must use a toothpick for this qwerty' idiocy.// is there a thumb equivalent of carpal tunnel yet?
thestringpuller: hahahaha. i'm excited for 'creative' user-agents in the future
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 08:28:00; BingoBoingo: Much larger than I expected. About 1/2 the desk footprint of laptop
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272528 << it has a keyboard. and this was before the age of 'must use a toothpick for this qwerty' idiocy. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 07:35:35; mircea_popescu: What the “reformers” promote, that is open-ended problems, “real-world” problems with clouds of answers, activities instead of problems, create a fuzzy world, ~~~in which students always have to guess the teacher’s mind and can not learn to discriminate between right and wrong by their own means. ~~~
