jurov: all out email and else woes are due
to
text originally defined as "interspersed by cr in shorter intervals
than any buffer wherever gets() is used"
chetty: feed
the computer anything, with front panel switches
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 03:40:09; decimation: he said recently a sea change has come with kids coming out of school;
they want
to specify massive cpu, memory for very simple micro-controllers so
they can run java
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 03:39:28; decimation: asciilifeform: I have a friend who is an old graybeard EE, been working on actual circuitry since
the 80's
jurov: and i strongly suspect
the computers of yore aren't what alf imagines, either. have
them eat a
text with arbitrary linelengths and see
mircea_popescu: a world of play-pretend like
they're adults and doing
things
mircea_popescu: i
tell you.
there are no professionals left. all children posing for
the mirror.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your idea of nuke plants is more akin
to a UP's big boy control hatch.
this is not how
they work, whole shit's run in java
these days. for
that matter - remember
the recent airbus which had all 4 engines stop because counter smash issues ?
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 20:02:14; mircea_popescu: siemens is "german" in
the sense
tsipras is "greek" and so on. absolutely nothing
to do.
mircea_popescu: (gauss copula, look into
that sometime. if you want "pseudoscience
that burned
the world", global warming's nothing, witch hunts are nothing,
this
thing ruioned
trillions)
mircea_popescu: or my info as
to how
the entire fucking house of cards came down chiefly bewcause some idiots were doing copula calculations
jurov: (i mean, when
they are installed, hopefully not when
they are built. but not sure on
that, either)
jurov: decimation: perhaps you missed how my info how gigawatts of steam
turbines are simulated and projected ... in excel
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (or even valid in a block) <<
they are not valid.
they are spendable for reasons
that have
to do with what
the protocol says, ie, unintentionally.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re punkman's reddit link -
the
tards miss
the fruit and focus on
the pit of
that
thing, as usual.
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 19:59:28; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> so it would have
to be very clean
to justify losing search <<
technically speaking, needing "search" is a symptom
that you've not yet learned it.
decimation: it's not like
they sell enough of
them for 'people
to come
to expect'
mircea_popescu: siemens is "german" in
the sense
tsipras is "greek" and so on. absolutely nothing
to do.
☟︎☟︎ decimation: where's
the german alternative
to microsoft?
decimation: 17:42 <+jurov> everything had
to be modernized by siemens & co.. < jurov, but why does 'modernize' mean 'run on winblows 2k?'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> so it would have
to be very clean
to justify losing search <<

that you've not yet learned it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> can give
the 'atoms' electrostatic-style charge, so
they repel, and
the bonds - 'strain', so
they contract <<
this is actually a pretty great idea. and
then run iterations over
the
thing until stable.
shinohai: I m syncing
the dark side's wallet, keeps crashing with CDB: Error -30974, can't open database
mod6: <asciilifeform> interestingly, incitatus synced and stayed synced
today << ahh ok,
thanks for
the heads up
shinohai: I had hoped you could churn out another story based on
that xD
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Nope. Jericho it
turns out is not actually Cecil's brother. CNN is just listening
to any crank who calls in.
punkman: "Reportedly, Koko enjoys seeing human nipples and will request her female caregivers
to show
them
to her on occasion.
This has resulted in sexual harassment lawsuits by caregivers who have felt pressured by Patterson
to show
their nipples
to Koko against
their will. Attorney Jody Weiner, who previously represented KoKo in licensing agreements, writes
that he should have recognized warning signs of a sex scandal. "
kakobrekla: >I cooked up a multi-user general ledger system based on
this hardware in '79. My client was a rural Iowa accountant who (what a prophet!) was afraid of hacks, so he insisted it NOT be compatible with anything else on
the planet. So,
though NorthStar DOS was way ahead of it's
time, I had
to ditch it. I burned my own boot EPROMs, wrote
the whole
thing using Ashley's assembler. You just can't do
that anymore.
jurov: everything had
to be modernized by siemens & co..
jurov: can't even imagine what noise would austrians do if a reactor nearby would be allowed
to run on something homebrew
mircea_popescu: <jurov> in
these parts most reactors reportedly run on win2k << why not me while at it.
trinque: that actually covers everything I needed, I
think
trinque: jurov: I missed a bunch of messages due
to
that
tls
thing, so I'm
trying
to grab all
those
jurov: i will,
too. eventually.
jurov: in
these parts most reactors reportedly run on win2k
trinque: at least
there are sigs; I don't really care about having identical mail headers
to
the originals
trinque: I wrote a python script last night
that
turds
together maildir mail from
the
txt dumps, but it's a hack at best
trinque: jurov: how hard is it
to dump maildir mail files from mailman?
trinque: is
that poor guy still maintaining it?
mircea_popescu: do not expect a girl with a collar is actually a slave - she probably
thought it looks good for her facebook ; do not expect someone with a pgp key is a lord -
they probably were just
trying
to impress someone.
mircea_popescu: trying
to feed
themselves out of used condoms left behind in dark alleys
trinque: I was fumbling for
that idea
the other day re: internal representations of identity
mircea_popescu: since
then, everyone's just been
trying
to salvage utility out of
the kids' roleplaying
trinque: you're going
to get fake representations out of most, if it cuts it with
the people looking at
them
mircea_popescu: possibly
the last
time anyone did anything for serious with computers was in
tyhe 80s.
trinque: sounds like
the problem with letting most people define
themselves on
their own
mircea_popescu: then
they went about roleplaying
their super-secret-agent kink for a while
mircea_popescu: and i posit
that
the entire fucking
thing, "from
the ground up", is B. all of it.
mircea_popescu: case B : kid sees girl in bar, works up his courage until 3am, eventually approaches her and explains
that he's into kinky stuff. which works out, because she always dreamed about being raped, so
they meet in dark alley and have some great sex.
mircea_popescu: case A : kid sees girl in bar. waits for moment when no-one's looking around 3am, kloinks her in
the head with bottle, drags her dark alley outside, shreds her clothes and her virginity.
