mod6: trinque: just have
to wait until next block before it shows up in
the deedbot.org list?
mod6: asciilifeform: sounds good.
thanks for doing
that.
ben_vulpes: in a healthy relationship,
the consultant keeps
the customer from making bad decisions in areas in which
the customer has no business making decisions.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:18:24; asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have
this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on
that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does
this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit
there with it in.'
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:13:22; asciilifeform:
that does not work with gimp.
ben_vulpes: go
talk
to
the cfo about
the cat pictures.

trinque: because
the CSV one requires him no work but
to change
the save-as
type, or w/e
ben_vulpes: sometimes one goes
to a cafe
to meet a customer instead of demanding
they come
to ones office.
trinque: also
this is a matter of sales, not education

☟︎ mod6: I'm currently working on
the SoBA
to close out
the month, would like
to point at
the vdiff.sh
that creats w/o
timestamps in
the document. Only reason
that I bring it up.
Thanks for
taking a look. Wasn't sure if I missed it somehow.
punkman: asciilifeform: customer can learn
to export csv or fuck off most of
the
time
phf: i
think gnu awk closes implicitly but a bsd one keeps
the fd's open and eventually runs into open file limits
punkman: asciilifeform:
trinque: go and sell 'it' if it doesn't read&write microshit excel format. i'll watch. << I've written lots of
these, it's called .csv
phf: by
the way
that script above needs a close i.e. ... if (s) { close(s); ...
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 19:35:24; asciilifeform: i mean, why would i want
to do ~any~ per-user work in distributing something ~for free~ ?!
mod6: bah, well disregard
the above -- as
this came from my orc.sh script with escaped shell vars, but you get
the point i
think.
mod6: so i see, obv.,
the one
that was submitted with
The Full Orchestra, but i don't see your updated one
that looks like:
mod6: asciilifeform: hey, qq: are you going
to post
the modified vdiff.sh (creation of vpatch w/o
timestamps)
to
the ml, or will it be included with your next submission of
the full working solution?
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 19:40:56; phf: but if
the argument is really reduced
to воры/суки
then guys above are idiots, because иван иванычи and have all
the intelligentsia deficiencies
trinque: ah but who wants
to be
that big and bloated
trinque: right, you're a scientist. meanwhile I'd love
to have
the market on
traffic cones cornered.
trinque: and it farts out reports I give
to my accountant
trinque: this needs no perfect solution
to be better
than what's available
trinque: yeah but you're
thinking like a scientist
trinque: you derive specific solutions and sell
those
trinque: I could see a scheme where you make a general solution
to
that problem which you do not sell.
phf: but if
the argument is really reduced
to воры/суки
then guys above are idiots, because иван иванычи and have all
the intelligentsia deficiencies
☟︎☟︎ trinque: and
the
tools are all shit
trinque: every business on earth needs
tools
to classify and count
their
things, and
to answer useful questions with
this information.
phf: there's greenblatt,
tom knight, david moon, daniel weinreb, guy steele, peter norvig, abelson&sussman, jack holloway. stallman and minsky. not
to mention cracauer, eller, fahlman, maclachlan, rme, ron garret of
the later people
that i know of,
tons of people i'm forgetting.
phf: graham and naggum are probably not
the best examples of lispers. graham wrote cgi scripts for clisp in vi and had unhealthy obsession with macros, did a web startup and sold it at
the right
time. naggum if he was a little bit dumber would've just been a kook, considering his completely insane angry rants. (and i learned a lot from naggum, but i don't
think
the manner of his death was a surprise)
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 14:17:13; mircea_popescu: and yes,
the "scam money rots your brain"
think is also a very powerful
theory.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> perhaps ben_vulpes can become
the hero who makes
that unicorn, a software worth paying for.. << Eulora bots.
trinque: well,
that seems
to be
the only way
to amass
the capital
to do interesting
things, at least from where I sit.
trinque: meanwhile inside
the company building
tools
to make
the crapping ever easier
trinque: could instead decide
that you'll use your software powers
to cynically crap out anything with a price
tag.
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 06:54:23; mircea_popescu: mkay. lemme explain something about markets
to you.
the sun is infinitely valuable,
to
the exclusion of all else. nobody (tm) would consider paying for it, and in no case would
they pay anything close
to fair value (why
this is so should be
thermodynamically obvious). meanwhile, ipads have no utility and go for hundreds by
the million. on
top of
them, jackpot machine simulations sell for more $$$.
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 06:54:48; mircea_popescu:
the idea here being
that people wouldn't pay for a sane os for
the same reason
they won't payfor
the sun.
trinque: that speaks more
to
the "for free"
than
to
the work, doesn't it?
ben_vulpes: regarding
the "may i" spamola, you could issue a license
to a
trivially-generated pubkey.
ben_vulpes: it has
to be commercially viable in
this wot.
ben_vulpes: oh it's even harder
than
that, asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: you've not made anything worth paying for,
then.
ben_vulpes: as, of course, verified by your signing a license
to
their key.
