phf: i met fare at one of international lisp conference's and i thought he was kind of off, but the kind of work he did on asdf3 precisely corresponds to his personal and writing styles. sort of like a dirty kid that you have to constantly remind to like fucking go wash yourself dude, omg

phf: well, that's the thing, the original backend from clim2 goes all the way back to genera, and it's literally all solid 1-pixel lines, and bulk of the display is text.

phf: well, fwiw i've no idea if you can make clim non-ugly (i'm not even sure at this point what "ugly" means. you certainly can't trivially make it look the way "people come to expect")
ben_vulpes:
phf: i would be happy to try living in either of those 'ui's
jurov:
phf: that was x-post from #clim? :)
trinque: (wherein
phf gets mad at me re: that's how set theory works and I scratch at my left stump)
mircea_popescu:
phf asciilifeform to make you both feel better : sat i'm going to a "russian rock concert" at this massage parlour slash blinyi restaurant run by a buncha russian chicks.

phf: asciilifeform: do you have a set of high dpi (150/200) bitmap fonts for x11 that you use by any chance?
Framedragger:
phf: ugggghhh. (now i recall you possibly mentioning this in relation to archive.is; i see i see.. that's what they do)
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 18:06 Framedragger: quite sure that it's possible to dump dom in selenium but in any case, yes dumping it seems like a prerequisite, like what archive.is does and what
phf said above

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
phf provided eg "java runtime fonts" aren't there on top of x11-fonts etc
mircea_popescu:
phf> state of the art for blind folx is misserable. << about same as in 1997.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: as
phf said, archive.is output does not contain js. just to clarify.
Framedragger:
phf: ah, but i meant the initial rendering phase - the 'archive this plz' process itself. but thanks for clarifying yeah
Framedragger:
phf: you mean, js rendering done server-side? sorry i got confused i guess
Framedragger: yeah yeah, and i recall discussion about how archive.is does this (
phf had some notes), etc.; it's quite icky.
Framedragger knows
phf and asn from that list personally and knows for certain that they didn't 'plagiarize' from phuctor. but whatever, if phuctor not cited, it's plagiarism because independent thought not possible, etc.

phf, jurov ^^
mircea_popescu:
phf my hm hasn't returned yet. what conditions are presupposed that anticipate the problem ?

phf the main objection to your quiet style is that now i can't discern whether you a) understood the arguments and are thinking about it ; b) simply didn't understand the arguments or c) understood what was said but didn't judge it any kind of argument. express yourself, don't repress yourself!

phf: well, since asciilifeform's not here "let them eat nagant! wake me up when less stupid people!"

phf they pretend to be millennials. in point of fact are apes.
mircea_popescu:
phf that argentina is essentially a scam. it never existed ; much like vhs america never existed.
mircea_popescu:
phf and if you don't keep the machine online, you don't.
mircea_popescu:
phf it's either predict or expose itself. there's no third.
mircea_popescu: yes, but this idea doesn't scale the way
phf wants it to scale.
mircea_popescu:
phf and then keeps patching ? forever ? from behind the grave ?
mircea_popescu:
phf the rub is that you're stuck with infinity on one end. you really can't tell in advance what i'll want your compiler to do.
mircea_popescu:
phf the premise ("1 item can be compromised") is true ; this however is not a ~systematic~ concern. the reason it isn't a systematic concern has everything to do with the imaginary concept of "the hash with checksum". suppose 1) a hash function existed which 2) contained a secret which 3) allowed the possessor to distiguish possible inputs into two classes and then on the basis of the result know whether the input that led to
trinque:
phf: that problem is introduced *by* the urge to write your compiler in its own language, neh?
mircea_popescu:
phf this is elementarily false. i don't have full control over eg female biology, enjoy full control over my slavegirls.
mircea_popescu:
phf now now. don't squirm away. let's have the discussion. what exactly IS the concern.
trinque: answer's trivially yes, but size of the thing isn't moot. or do I misrepresent
phf?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile you, catchingwind of this, go into your thomspon shrine, say abracadabra and now my kernel is infected with
phf-rat ?
mircea_popescu: if i come up with random "will you
phf guarantee to me that if i swab her cheek on so and so date there won't be a spermatozoid in the microscope field", you'll just shrug.
mircea_popescu:
phf which is my point. trust is not binary. yes you trust her, but many things she thinks you care about you don't, and even more you care in different contexts and to different levels than she imagines.
mircea_popescu:
phf i think hes' right though. we're not going to be solving shit.
mircea_popescu:
phf this is sane, imo. exposes all the dirty hacks which "in kindergarten" etc.
mircea_popescu:
phf yeah, but still, we have some experience with the neat trb building process. it can be done.

phf: i suspect saifedean is pitching various audiences to create a buzz for his upcoming book, because the way he opened seemed like a cold call. "normies" "bezzle this bezzle that" every phrase felt like it was lifted from a "wake up sheeple" video with that matrix soundtrack
mircea_popescu:
phf evidently not. he wasted a coupla years of his life, now in 2017 is in same position as he was in 2014. but it's ok, he's unwilling to review this, so he'll die as he lived.

phf: as far i understand they are all essentially the same, in that they don't actually serve food.
mod6: <+
phf> "are you boys up to no good? -- no, mam" << haha. I think she thinks we're doing great things, and have a just cause.
