mircea_popescu: original topic is romanian "grammar scholars" who aren'
t fit to shine boots, and completely ignore anything whatsoever in the discipline in favour of doing some inanity.
mircea_popescu: and absent a better idea, my concept that you can'
t possibily have more than 255-27-10 actual tools seems quite meritous.
mircea_popescu: punkman well, the cool part depending for whom doing what. i have no objection, all that sugar&spice is nice to have, but i don'
t think it mandatory, myself. the main utility is creating a copy of a resource (as in url) that is outside of the control of its original author. i'm more than happy if that is provided in the first place and the rest of the swag on a best-effort basis.
punkman: and the guy doesn'
t seem keen to publish any of that
punkman: "mircea_popescu: however a lot of leeway is available re shitty sites. i honestly couldn'
t care less what "functionality" is lost through js being discarded out of hand, for instance. << archive.is (as a browsing tool) seems useless without javascript, might as well render the page in lynx/dilla/modern browser with js disabled.
mod6: is there such a thing as adhd in china? if a kid just wont do stuff or doesn'
t pay attention they just hit you with a stick no?
danielpbarron: hm.. idk why that won'
t work. that's how trinque added all the others
mod6: im actually glad for that. and personally, I don'
t even want to look at any other lisp really because other lisps seem to have a bunch more built-in functions that we'll basically not use.
mod6: i didn'
t know that's what you called those works of art.
phf: past first paragraph is bogus, fat girls don'
t act like that in clubs, that's just an overactive imagination. what they actually do is pick up leftovers, or particularly drunk guys who were attracted by the group. it's literally a scavenger strategy, and being obnoxious will ensure that the girl is never again invited with her hotter friends. (they want to get fucked too, jeez)
mircea_popescu: and the server wasn'
t new, so prolly got his warm bed or something.
phf: we can add archive/logs/patches to a single lisp project, call it assetbook and we won'
t need any other internet anymore
phf: "can'
t have our thing, but here's a link to a chrome extension that does nothing like what we do. run along now"
mircea_popescu: however a lot of leeway is available re shitty sites. i honestly couldn'
t care less what "functionality" is lost through js being discarded out of hand, for instance.
mircea_popescu: in other news, either the code vanished or i;m just delusional, but can'
t seem to locate it
phf: asciilifeform: 1) paste into emacs 2) indent-region 3) profit!111!!! << won'
t add newlines for you though
jurov: but it's alpha, won'
t be surprised it if fails badly
BingoBoingo: Honestly at this point I forget what I've written where and what I haven'
t pete_dushenski: "when i, professor bahamas, said that there was a red line that shall not be crossed in syria or else i'd put boots on the ground, i forgot to mention that there was an asterix associated with that statement that nullified its supposed consequence if it turned out that i wasn'
t a taller, darker napolean after all."
pete_dushenski: i'd be pleasantly surprised if contravex isn'
t even at the lower end of that largest vocab list. ~15k different words over a two year and ~450k published word lifetime ? sounds optimistic, but until mircea_popescu shares secret recipe, hard to say given that other 'solutions' seem to be nothing but paid scamware.
shinohai: Just weird to me though, haven'
t had it happen before and I have accidentally restarted the lappy 1000 times and it started back perfect.
wouldibeascammer: reported it, it's annoying to put my order in while leaving out what I don'
t want to use
mircea_popescu: "Marching gets our message out." No it doesn'
t, it gets CNN's message out. "We don'
t watch CNN, we use the internet." Yet given the infinity of the internet you still surf the same 5 websites, looking for and finding exactly what you want, like a baby playing peekaboo in a mirror over and over and over and over and over and over and...
mircea_popescu: a sweet sweet 199`500 total loot we can then use to build stadiums "worth" 50 trillion and that could be exchanged for "all of russia" if only we could find someone who isn'
t part of our circlejerk (thus has something of value whatsoever) and still credits our inane bullshit (like maybe some argentines running away with the money they stole while in government there or something)"
mircea_popescu: look here : "DeathFromAbove writes to DPR, "It's not that easy [AA]. I'm legit. Green Beret. Friend of [C.G.]. I have access to TS/SCI files that FBI, DEA, AFP, SOCA would kill for. In fact, that is what I do ... kill. The only thing that I do . . . Don'
t worry DoD has no interest in you and your little website. North Korea and Iran are a lot more important. In fact, as far as the Army and Navy are concerned you are a
pete_dushenski: i don'
t for a second think it's just correlation. wealth can'
t guarantee anything any more than obama - but can wealth, unlike obama, provide opportunities ? i'm inclined to say so. ergo wealthy man can at least materially afford personal car-computer, whether or not he can intellectually afford it is borne by whether or not he actually does.
mircea_popescu: the collected "profession" of "journalist" can'
t if working together think a thousand words ahead.
pete_dushenski: well, don'
t drive in traffic. take scenic route. that's the whole point of car. the scenery. as well as the ability to stop here for lunch and there for coffee and over there for an ice cream, etc.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what's the big deal about being original ? that's not the talk to someone visiting a hotel. 'this living out of a suitcase thing is really most splendid, why doesn'
t everyone do this?'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> as for deharting, it isn'
t altogether different from what american medics do to folks ~anyway~ << word.
pete_dushenski: assbot: show the courtz your enumerated goodness and that it doesn'
t include kiddy pr0n.
mircea_popescu: the world, if you had the misfortune of being spawned by a dumbass with a drunkard, mostly consists of things "you couldn'
t possibily want", let alone need.
ben_vulpes: salesbabes don'
t wear spandex, boothbabes do.
mircea_popescu: what's that, women that never queef and dudes that don'
t go bald ?
danielpbarron: yeah but you don'
t usually pass around private keys like bank notes
mircea_popescu: weren'
t ppls bitching that purse.io went scam or was that a different thing
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2016 19:08:14; phf: as soon as i can move again, i'm going to make it to russian&turkish baths in nyc. they don'
t really do saunas on the east coast, but that baths place is awesome
phf: tinyscheme can'
t read strings longer then #define STRBUFFSIZE 256, hmm
mircea_popescu: all this because they really wanted to be as cool as the euros and didn'
t comprehend that faking it till you make it just gives you saturnism
mircea_popescu: he doesn'
t believe, eg, math, is "something created at mit"
gernika: mircea_popescu: I don'
t recall saying anything. Probably because I was pretending: "no big deal." or something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the sufficient and necessary concrete is readily available and of an abstract kind. i needn'
t any actual calcium carbonate to say various things about various bits of code.
mircea_popescu: currently our substance is drawn specifically from the fact that for the past 2-3 decades, these twerps approached the problem of functionality ("the software doesn'
t do enough") with nary a clue about the problem of feedback ("the software does too much")
Jacmet: mod6: yes, the download infrastructure in buildroot will only download if the tarball isn'
t already available in the dl dir, or you can point it to a local mirror
mod6: <+Jacmet> mod6: and why the manual download of openssl/db/boost instead of just letting Buildroot do it? << actually, one thing I think we're considering is doing a modification to buildroot so that we don'
t pull its deps over the wan via rsync. is there a way, currently, to just place all of its deps somewhere so it won'
t rsync?
mod6: np. well, we've been working for quite a while now to get all of this tooling setup the way we need it. we haven'
t had a reason to move forward with the version.
phf: actually i don'
t know how to call them..
mircea_popescu: eh it doesn'
t pull anything. think about it : it is a modest, quiet hope, specifically that shiva/b-a/trb is actually heavy enough that it may pull him.
mircea_popescu: won'
t be accepted in trb by any means, but i dun see anything wrong wiht the process.
mod6: huh, yeah wouldn'
t have expected that
mod6: 9 connections, there soemthing i don'
t see everyday.
mod6: ah, ya, haven'
t looked yet tho.
mod6: ah, ok good deal shinohai. I updated the script so that it doens'
t even pull that .sign file. we'll just rely on the sha512 that I hvae, alf has, and ben has.
jurov: as i said, don'
t mind. it's my problem, i should not avoid dubious USE flags
mod6: but i thought you said that `ls` and `pwd` didn'
t work, like in your shell. that shouldn'
t have anything to do with perl.
jurov: but don'
t mind, this is my private mess
mod6: perl doesn'
t care about what subprocesses a unix command may or may not use tho.
mod6: fork() shoudn'
t even be a consideration here... im confused.
mod6: anyway, an open line of comms to these folks could help us -- especially going forward as we basically might need to "roll our own" so that it doesn'
t pull the deps via rsync.
ben_vulpes: mod6: while there's no harm in checking the .sign, i don'
t know what it buys us
phf: as soon as i can move again, i'm going to make it to russian&turkish baths in nyc. they don'
t really do saunas on the east coast, but that baths place is awesome
☟︎ mod6: anyway, i guess i don'
t mind, i can add a part where we check the SHA1 & MD5 of the buildroot artifact and then continue to verify that .sign file.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu's javascript also doesn'
t work in every browser
