t automatch parens and autoindent is an example of something i might do in hell
adlai: emacs isn'
t necessary, although it helps to have an editor that understands your AST
kuzetsa: oh ok yeah I don'
t use emacs so I don'
t know wht alist / plist / elist is
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 02:52:19; mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn'
t talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made a replacement.
kuzetsa: it wasn'
t anything I personally did or caused
pete_dushenski: the whole 'red hot economy' spectacle really isn'
t as attractive first-hand as it is on paper, at least aesthetically.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: of the dozen or two us cities i've visited in the last decade, i couldn'
t agree more.
BingoBoingo: If you can'
t crush people with compact shelving you are wasting floorspace
BingoBoingo: adlai: If you submit an image it might be included, but can'
t guarantee it would make it in.
pete_dushenski doesn'
t think he spends an hour a month in front of 'tv'
pete_dushenski: i also can'
t stand the texture of mashed potatoes, which doesn'
t seem to be derived from scum-sucking bottom-feeders, so i probably shouldn'
t blame the good book too much
BingoBoingo: But don'
t you get kicked out of Jewbilee for that?
pete_dushenski: just because you're not a ~billionaire~ with x-ray vision, i forgot to mention that part. and if you tell me that you're also a billionaire, that's ok too because there are more parts i haven'
t mentioned yet!'
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408407 << you don'
t understand dirigible fantasies. it's like every comic book fan's overactive imagination telling him that 'if i only has x-ray vision i'd get so much pussy'. and then mousy radiologist (as they tend to be, in my experience), asks comicfan 'have you ever seen something with x-ray vision ? i'm not quite sure it's how you imagine.' 'nonsense, that's
☝︎ pete_dushenski: fuck won'
t be making uni appear to be the sine qua non for adult life that it was presented to me as.
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 15:25:47; mircea_popescu: but, fortunately for it, the us has nothing to offer. it'd be an active safari grounds for live slaves, if the women weren'
t generally ugly and universally fat. it is being raided to shit by indian/chinese people for whatever shreds of prestige it may have left, tho from what i hear us diplomas are becoming 2nd rate in beijing these days.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408267 << /me can'
t believe how much worse this exact phenomenon has become in just the last decade. i was in the new engineering 'innovation centre' on campus today (mostly materials engineering) and every single last motherfucking dude was straight off the boat from india or china. i don'
t think there are two white dudes per floor at this point.
☝︎ adlai: trinque: you should collect the deedynickles, i haven'
t swept in a while
adlai: well, i'm overbullshitting my familiarity with build systems... but the fact that i can run make doesn'
t mean i'm benefitting from any of the Vification.
adlai: who says i hain'
t?
adlai: (format () "~$" (reduce '+ (reduce 'mapcar '(abs cdr) :from-end
t :initial-value (btc:listaccounts 0
t)))) -> "15863.10"
adlai: trinque: you don'
t wanna see mine!
adlai: everybody needs a server they wouldn'
t be caught dead on
adlai: ben_vulpes: don'
t worry someday the kid might grow up
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you just don'
t understand how the world works
adlai blames the image similarity neural networks for reading his mind wrt the language (since half the channel probably didn'
t notice anything wrong with the first one)
trinque: I'm happy to be human search while there isn'
t one
mircea_popescu: which - i can'
t find any trace of any such thing on deedbot. which is ridoinculous wtf.
mircea_popescu: like everything else -dev does, but that realisation hasn'
t mostly struck yet.
mircea_popescu: it's a deeply telling thing. THEY don'
t know what the fuck they are by themselves. why would a box.
mircea_popescu: yeah but you don'
t want to keep changing things either
hanbot: i suspect the recognition that things can actually be useful rather than superficially ego-satisfying is a more and more rare occurrence. or by now, ability. which explains a lot of the stupidity, but doesn'
t excuse it.
mircea_popescu: why don'
t you say "clearly nobody gives a shit about apple or its products - so few vulnerabilities they can almost chase them all down"
mircea_popescu: so in other words, the results of this discussion are - that apple isn'
t there yet, but it'd love to pretend like it is, and lazy general usian population / anti-entrepreneurial spirited usian elite will concede the point ot them.
mircea_popescu: jurov /me thinks that you don'
t have to pay anything to try.
mircea_popescu: " is that usg has the politburo in both cases by the balls, they all have swiss accounts 'which could have problems' if they don'
t play ball." << if we were discussing a tissue sample, this would directly map to "god's life force prevails"
mircea_popescu: sounds good phf. ftr i dun think there was anything wrong with your thing per se. broke an assumption i made that i still don'
t well understanbd, so... it counts as a positive.
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 14:59:11; mircea_popescu: no but don'
t you think it's kind-of funny nobody goes "hey, bahamas-the-laureate said embargo will totally hurt russia - it decimated our allies instead. maybe bahamas is just fucking stupid ?"
mircea_popescu: and yes, i am aware that you're thinking you're decent people, and your friends idem, and you'll toil and labour and this can'
t all be to waste. the thing you're not aware of is that i have friends like that in say togo. ever heard of togo ? and had friends like that in lebanon years ago, and so on.
mircea_popescu: but, fortunately for it, the us has nothing to offer. it'd be an active safari grounds for live slaves, if the women weren'
t generally ugly and universally fat. it is being raided to shit by indian/chinese people for whatever shreds of prestige it may have left, tho from what i hear us diplomas are becoming 2nd rate in beijing these days.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: retarded euros on the other hand... "us posturing precipitated an immigration influx that we reallty can'
t support. wat do ?" "i dunno, but try to not notice that the us-provided security costs a degree or two of magnitude more than the worst possible case would be without them around"
mircea_popescu: im sure it's ever so glorious being black and having these idiots for "supporters". with such help you really don'
t need any enemies.
mircea_popescu: no but don'
t you think it's kind-of funny nobody goes "hey, bahamas-the-laureate said embargo will totally hurt russia - it decimated our allies instead. maybe bahamas is just fucking stupid ?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yet the canadians aren'
t swarming across the border to fucking burn down the dangerous rogue state next door.
mircea_popescu: consider this simple point : so i materialize out of the ethers and offer well trained young slave to us kid, for $sum. how can he pay ? he can'
t. he has no money, the usual way he pays for things (begs daddy-government's agent, called "bank" for absolutely no reason much like fast-food is unrelated to food, being a species of engine oil) does not work for this purpose. what's left ? we just discussed how he can not do
mircea_popescu: you can'
t seriously contemplate this applies in the us ?
PeterL: isn'
t that why you have children, so they can support you when you are old?
jurov: heh that won'
t really work (our fees are $x, add to that $random on the murican side)
davout: either way i'll ask the question a bit more formally, and ask about outgoing non-sepa wires too could be useful since i don'
t plan on ever becoming a victim of my own success
mircea_popescu: it's basically a soviet country, just like the russians were. unlike the other soviet union, however, it doesn'
t fucking know this, goes to bed every night collectively imagining that "start-ups" as implemented there are actual business ; and "stars" as implemented there are examples of successful people. it's really quite amusing.
mircea_popescu: and the monetary cost is nothing, us banks are incredibly parochially retarded, will pretend like they can send wires, but then don'
t.
mircea_popescu: (no i don'
t mean redditards, i mean people with jobs, jerry! and secretatries.)
mircea_popescu: jurov i don'
t think by now any usian is without eu banking.
jurov: Looking at you, USians who don'
t want to feed coinbase and their ilk.
punkman: pity it doesn'
t have a better screen
punkman: phf, seems so. my initial suggestion was releases as patch sequence files, but I don'
t think anyone liked this idea. My vtron does .seq files with "foo.vpatch \
t sha512(foo.vpatch) \n" inside, which works for my blobby vtronized things.
pete_dushenski: but i guess there can'
t be ~that~ many pics of abdullah pounding white poon in the back of his open-air 600 landaulet
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski ro schooling isn'
t going to impress anyway.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ok. so guy wants to improve his station by moving abroad to work for multinational. and he doesn'
t apply for this job by mailing a few pieces of paper with letters on them, but more importantly with ~numbers~ on them, lending clear incentive to find easy > great teacher in uni ?
punkman: a sidenote that came to mind looking at phf's lisp snippet: adding comments to everything for release patches (and alt-genesis) doesn'
t work so great if you have non-plaintext files. not a problem for trb as it is, but perhaps something to keep in mind.
mod6: further, some make it, most don'
t.
mod6: just because 'king' doesn'
t mean they still can'
t get neg rating
mod6: for instance, what if the king of jordan wanted to be in TMSR? why wouldn'
t autocrats be able to be in the wot?
