shinohai: How is Crapples iWatch
thing going does anyone know?
nubbins`: asciilifeform
they froze support for 2009 macbooks?!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but generally i don't recommend an archaeologist's machine
to a civilian << I recommend
this one because hypercard. As a dare, for
the ones
that get it realize not all "advances" are such.
shinohai: It's like buying a Ferrari with
the hood welded shut.
BingoBoingo: <phf> ppc macs were nice. i spent years with a handmedown g3 ibook, running linux on it, and i still love
that machine, probably for sentimental reasons << Bought one used with defunct vertical line on screen. Played with
then closeted,
then recycled. Prolly should have kept it.
nubbins`: macbook, still going strong.
typing on it now while InDesign pumps out dead
tree sheets
nubbins`: so it's essentially frozen in
time

the latest iOS and essentially zero new apps

time, i developed "app store" apps as a hobby
phf: ppc macs were nice. i spent years with a handmedown g3 ibook, running linux on it, and i still love
that machine, probably for sentimental reasons
shinohai: Laptop I have now came with Win 8, which I never even booted in
to.
shinohai: Heh. I have only "owned" 1 apple product ever, an ipad and
that lasted a week before I gave it away in disgust.
nubbins`: jobs is marginally interesting for having fessed up
to LSD usage, but as i understand it was generally a piece of shit otherwise
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Seems
to address
the much neglected niche of graphical www without any scripting. Apparently default browser on 'raspian'
nubbins`: fairly unlikely at
this point
tho.
nubbins`: at some point in my life, i'd like
to require
the rewinding of a motor
nubbins`: “Usually people just go for
the motor,” says Bleyle.
nubbins`: Bleyle admits
that repairs can be pricey, especially hand-rewinding a DC motor, which can run between US $30 000 and $40 000. But he says even a refurbished motor looks cheap compared with
the $500 000 cost of replacing
the elevator, not
to mention
the months of involuntary stair climbing during
the upgrade.
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell shinohai played with Dillo
today. Seems
to be promising "graphical" www browser
nubbins`: or was it
the pneumatic water-based lift
thing
nubbins`: nowadays
they're riding
the wave
nubbins`: once
the foot's in
the door, sure, act changes

things
☟︎ nubbins`: i find people don't want X so much as
they want
the experience of choosing/buying/being sold X
nubbins`: smooth
talkers win more often
than not

tech day and reminiscing about nightmares past isn't helping
nubbins`: anyway i gotta fuck off

nubbins` facepalms
thrice, runs out of hands, uses desk
nubbins`: but of course
they didn't update
the API
nubbins`: and
then literally reversed a bunch of
the
terms in
the next version, so a site was now a web and a web was now a site
☟︎ nubbins`: they also reappropriated all
these general words like "Site" and "Web" and gave
them specific definitions
nubbins`: move over CSV, P/SCSV is
the new kid in
town
nubbins`: no kidding, every now and
then some internal piece of code would return an array of strings as a single, very large string, with entries separated by
the escape string "#;"
nubbins`: for a while i was paid
to develop bespoke widgets for "microsoft sharepoint", a CMS/DMS
that is
the biggest piece of shit you'll never see

that his reaction was ~NOT~
to visit
therealbitcoin.org & get
the real client.
mircea_popescu: gotta love
tardstalk. almost as good as washington post, in
that it's not merely written by retards,
mircea_popescu: They need
to make
the next version use a better database system
that is not linearly.
mircea_popescu: "wow ok. Sounds like nobody
thought it would get
this big.

trinque: I mean,
the fucking

☟︎ trinque: mats:

the footnotes
mats: any guesses on what character its moaning about
this
time
trinque?
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 19:46:35; ascii_field: so far we've been
trying
to weasel out of maintaining a whole #b-a linux distro, but i'm not certain
that it is avoidable.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 21:40:30; mircea_popescu:
this is quickly becoming
the #1 problem for us.
trinque: I continue
to discover new character sets which cause some or another component
to barf
trinque: mats: it's probably
that character

the wrong direction." << heh. yes, keep copies of your old browsers, for
the new ones will be less and less useful.
shinohai: My first stator build failed at least 6
times.
shinohai: I'm not giving up. Just need a breather
then perhaps it will clarify itself for me.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 18:54:32; shinohai: Yes. I have followed
those instructions from
the ml and still have no idea what I'm doing. I'm shoving
this
to
the back burner.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 18:45:34; ben_vulpes: in particular, "“[I’m looking for] 5:1 (risk /reward). Five
to one means I’m risking one dollar
to make five. What five
to one does is allow you
to have a hit ratio of 20%. I can actually be a complete imbecile. I can be wrong 80% of
the
time, and I’m still not going
to lose.”"
mircea_popescu: it's cute
the first 300
times. after which it starts
to occur
that "why am i hanging in a room where a 40 yo woman
that STILL has dumb virgin perisexual issues derps on ?"
