asciilifeform: in other noose, several 100k 'laughable primes' ( i.e. close to powers of 2, powers of 2 with various value of upper byte, etc ) being generated and added to phuctor 8ball db as we speak ( item discussed in late may, but stuck on conveyor )
asciilifeform: 'enslavative case', thought asciilifeform when he saw this
asciilifeform: another score for 'sapir-mircea_popescu' , seems like.

asciilifeform: in other sapir-mircea_popescu-whorf-isms, seems like in ye olde 'нохчи мотт' , not only nouns, verbs, but even 'to be' is gendered
asciilifeform: whereas here it's 'spanish' d00d , doing plain old work, all day, erry day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in 'plant' nowadays there are 'workers' with 'rights', tax is paid, they demand to see passports, the whole nonsense.
asciilifeform: verilog etc have approx as much to do with general-purpose dataflow as arm-flapping has to do with aviation.
