a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 00:08 phf: i think i should go back to just pasting titles tho

ben_vulpes: phf: some days i dream of making a car like that

ben_vulpes: phf: not ideological, financial! you can hedge against devaluation. what is the hedge against moar taxes? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: phf word.
ben_vulpes: phf: mhm ya think?
mircea_popescu: phf http://www.burrenyoga.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Yoga-retreat-in-Ireland-R.jpg ?
mircea_popescu: lel phf crits
mircea_popescu: phf alpha does nothing to you anyway.
mircea_popescu: phf nah these are quite elegant actually. and ferous granite also, it's a slpendor.
asciilifeform: phf: not far from reality, lel
asciilifeform: phf: i am fairly certain the post clerk thought i was sending $contraband
asciilifeform: phf: mine also
asciilifeform: phf: i definitely know the ~type~ aha
asciilifeform: phf: there was a considerable shadow world of folx with 'big dreams' re sane comp, but ~0 technical capability, e.g., r. kulisz
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 17:57 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-27#1632826 << by the way rich felker is the author of musl
mircea_popescu: phf that's kinda how/why we're stuck maintaining the world. gotta do the purges once and share. this "one man against horde of rats" is why people don't have sane tools today.
asciilifeform: phf: they did it to emacs, even
mircea_popescu: phf deed
asciilifeform: phf: i saw this, it was quite sad
mircea_popescu: phf aha!
asciilifeform: phf: it'd be entertaining to see what, exactly, they'd do.
asciilifeform: phf: i have a hard time picturing said 'modernization' as looking like anything other than 'let's turn it into cpp'
mircea_popescu: phf yeh i recall that threat.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-02 21:36 phf: mircea_popescu: i'll keep that i mind. i'd like to give it a try, but i still have memories of tedium and despair from last time i tried building a crystal space project on mac
scriba: Logged on 2017-03-28: [23:51:43] <phf> it's not the static linking that gets you, it's the lack of stable abi. binary loads, but fails to do the right thing on system call
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 00:13 a111: Logged on 2017-03-28 21:23 phf: there are no provisions in bitcoin client for endianness support, e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles/tree/bitcoin/src/serialize.h#L124 (that's the basic implementation, but also similarly assumptions are baked into other parts of serialize.h)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 01:45 asciilifeform: quite srsly, i'd like to know : phf now uses what? 'ed' ? does he still write programs for money ? in commonlisp? in selfsame 'ed' ?
scriba: Logged on 2017-03-28: [23:04:56] <phf> the only legitimate way of running mathematica is knuth style: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/screen.jpeg
mircea_popescu: o hai phf. but no, isn't in leon-y-castillia

ben_vulpes: phf: gentoo for now
asciilifeform: from what phf has described ( and from my own experiments ) it is not clear to me that openbsd is salvageable .
asciilifeform: phf: this was the original drepperist excuse for 'shadow banning' static linking, 'oh forget it, no MODERN!11 os has a stable abi'
asciilifeform: phf: does static linking work on openbsd ?
doppler: phf: except, nope
doppler: phf: -- Motif graphics initialized --
pete_dushenski: phf: i'm not worthy of knuthdom
asciilifeform: phf: this is quite correct
a111: Logged on 2017-03-28 02:00 phf: in practice last two times i was asked that, i knew the vadim etc. in question. it's still a funny question tho
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 18:29 phf: oh, that's different group though. it's the "girl hacker" community
asciilifeform: phf: now that's interesting
danielpbarron: phf's may be the more widely used but it's my understanding yours is technically the official
asciilifeform: likewise, phf's ( the linked logtron ) has back-reference links ( when a line is mentioned, you can go from it, to the mentions ) and other conveniences (search, for instance.)
asciilifeform: between phf's logtron, Framedragger's, and ben_vulpes's -- ~100% coverage. unlike, say, your own connection plus the particular fleanode box it may happen to be on.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: if you have ideas of what is to be done when the whole CLIM process freezes, please, do let me know.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: also, errors in the CLIM debugger need to go somewhere.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: nobody is going to drop all of their emacs packages & workflow overnight to learn a new system. Emacs is going to stick around until new hardware is made.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: phf has it. use kalman reti's infamous bolix movie as a guide.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: even if I gave you a list of all the packages, it would take ~6months to get everything playing nicely.
asciilifeform: fwiw i walked away with same impression as phf
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 02:54 gabriel_laddel_p: tbh I would have thought phf would have seen the masamune video & flown out here to get his free install the next day, but apparently the rest of you are less excited about this than I am
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 02:44 trinque: phf: log might be busted atm, or my network's wonky (just pulled everything out of boxes and reassembled, so it's possible it's me)

a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 19:44 phf: in totally unrelated, i just learned that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d.
Framedragger: phf: just curious, you wrote `seq` yourself? 'cuz bash already has seq built-in
asciilifeform: phf: interesting, and i don't recall ever seeing it used
asciilifeform: phf ^ might enjoy also.
doppler: phf knows at least one of the people i know
asciilifeform: incidentally the real titan of 'bolixology' here is phf , rather than asciilifeform .
asciilifeform: phf: lulzy, neh.
asciilifeform: phf: i wonder if anybody still makes ye olde xterminals
asciilifeform: so phf's setup is the usual one then.
asciilifeform: ( and do i misread, or is phf's setup the reverse of the usual one, where genera is the server, and unix box -- client ? )
asciilifeform: oh while phf is awake ! : didja ever get that ivory cpu working ?
a111: Logged on 2016-03-20 13:54 mircea_popescu: phf> ok, not sure if anybody tried yet, but asciilifeform's gentoo chicken works as prescribed << it does, yes, and it IS a very good and useful thing. almost makes me feel bad when mocking linuxen.
asciilifeform: phf: the wacom ? it's a 2nd mouse, aha
asciilifeform: phf: how did that go ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 18:45 asciilifeform: phf: http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/4_1_15_stas.txt
asciilifeform: phf: interesting, if you ever remember what it was, lemme know plz
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:52 phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better
ben_vulpes: this leaves i believe phf's wintermute, with its once-decade of uptime

mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 15:46 phf: jeez, i like how they are not even trying. a bootstrap template one pager and a link to "bitcointalk thread"
mircea_popescu: to quote phf, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629431 ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf: at the very least, the Pedestrian Ram oughta be standard equipment.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 00:44 phf: well, i realized that environment micro optimizations are mostly a waste of time, and that something like emacs is one of the worst offenders.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 21:36 phf: that's another reason, why i don't for example, "hack my python with vim like a real hacker". give me the filthiest, most feature rich IDE, where i can just push spacebar to get half of my scaffolding, or whatever kids these days
trinque: phf already answered the IDE question in another thread
asciilifeform: ah hmm looks like i misread phf's 'nails, drills, and screws'
asciilifeform: phf: really, no screws?
mircea_popescu: phf i suspect your ride having been identified as possibly gay, you're now to defend your manhood in ARMED COMBAT!

mircea_popescu: iirc, phf himself.
ben_vulpes: who says phf works in cl?
asciilifeform: quite srsly, i'd like to know : phf now uses what? 'ed' ? does he still write programs for money ? in commonlisp? in selfsame 'ed' ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: well phf did say 'i replaced $tool-of-trade with Nothing'
asciilifeform: phf: genera in my mind is 'an emacs'
asciilifeform: suppose you write a ~new~ proggy, phf
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 01:15 phf: btcbase still runs on slime, but it's a 30 line el file that lives in the repo itself.
