mircea_popescu: WHY did not rms say "you MUST unify
the
toolchain" at such a
time as ~before~ ers could step in
to do it for his usual expectation of a coversion gain ?
mircea_popescu: they love
the whatever, "world", "cosmos", whatever it is, and dun wanna hurt it. and
they figure if
they don't exist, can't hurt it. and so will studiously avoid saying "~I~ forbid you from X", not because "they believe in equality" or "it's impolite" or "other's freedom" or any such bs.
the driving force is simply
that IF you say "i order/forbid you"
then
therefore you CAN end up in
the situation whereby "you forbade me and
mircea_popescu: but let it be said
that
the ~actual~ reason all
these bernie sandals
tards pretend all
the shit
they pretend about equality and authority is precisely
this fear :
that
the flow of events may bring
them
to
this position where
they did something wrong.
mircea_popescu: now why exactly
this does NOT read "it is here because ~I FAILED~
to signal correctly and in order" is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu:
to set up
the combined facilities on
their own. SourceForge made
the combination conveniently available for both new and experienced developers. "
mircea_popescu: it should be instructive exactly ~how~ ers's warcrime as you (with cause) call it made its way into rms's naive ranch of cattle purity : "SourceForge brought
to Free Software a unified and standard development methodology based on modern
tools. Before SourceForge, such
tools (bug
tracking, cvs, web, support, forums, polls, news, etc.) were available individually, but few developers used many of
them
together, because
they had
a111: Logged on 2016-03-28 13:11 mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i see no reason
to continue supporting or otherwise encourage kakobrekla's bizarre worldview. on
the contrary, i view further involvement with
the nonsense as considerable moral hazard, and a miserable
thing
to do altogether.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
they were using a logotron made by someone not in
the l1, big whoop. (then you realise
they apparently HAD NO IDEA
this is what
they're doing, or what a l1 even is -- suddenly
the "big whoop"
turns
to "wtf is wrong with
these idiots")
mircea_popescu: they have SUCH a fucking ridiculous, fucking obvious, structurally-stable passive-aggressive approach
to
things, jesus god. one can literally identify,
tag and mark
the invidious bernie sandals socialist by
this his most peculiar approach
to conflict and social hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck must be going in
through
their skulls
to view "advertisement spend from proprietary competitor on my page" as anything but a) a great lul and b) hey, nice, i'll be sure
to buy more dog
toys for
the bitches out of
THEIR MONEY
mircea_popescu: you see,
THIS is what i'm fucking worried about, getting an add for a "proprietary competitor". cuz
that's what we're fucking doing here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform probably because "Savannah has high project approval requirements and
thus visitors can expect freedom-related qualities from projects hosted here (such as no proprietary dependencies). Moreover,
there are no advertisements,
thus you do not run
the risk of getting an ad for a proprietary competitor on your project page."

mircea_popescu: the problem's all
these people who keep not getting it right, see.
the problem with socialism is insufficient socialism!!!
mircea_popescu: because, obviously, in moron's eyes
the problem wasn't socialism
to begin with. i mean, mussolini
tried, just didn't do it right.
then hitler didn't do it right. stalin showed him how, but sadly also didn't do it right. but it's ok, roosevelt showed
them how. and mao and
trotsky and eventually rms.
mircea_popescu: and "cooperation". ALLLLLLLL
trhe fucking problems of naive socialism, ALLLLL of
them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or
that
time
they got directx on its knees and
then went ahead and gave opengl back.
mircea_popescu: "we've managed
to burn 20 years worldwime and in excess of 10k engineer man-years
to reproduce an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of corporate land".
mircea_popescu: AS DOING.
The fact
the rest of you are now finally realizing
that some of
the problems I already solved years ago were, in fact, real issues, is mildly amusing
to me in a morbid way. If you have competent developers on
this lsit you don't NEED my patches, you can figure out how
to do it from
the _idea_ in a couple hours." <<
there, as good an epitaph FOSS could ever get.
mircea_popescu: "I do not
trust Grischka's
technical judgement, his committment
to
the project (I put way more
time into my fork
than he's put into
the official version), his leadership abilities, or his organizational skills. I spent
three years of my life improving
this project (not just coding but documentation and
testing and design and so on), and
the result was esentially discarded at

BingoBoingo: High denominations being rougly 30 and 60 USD on
the Uruguay side and 15 and 30 USD on
the Argentine side
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Orcs? But
the inspection appears
to be less about forgery and more... Argentine and Uruguayo bills look alike in
the high denominations
BingoBoingo: Studying
the quadruple digit peso bills is standard procedure for any cashier when you are a new face. Studying
the benjis... not so much
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have yet
to find an abitab clerk making 12,000-18,000 pesos a month
that studies
the details of benjis in
the way
they study 1000 and 2000 pesos notes
to make sure
they aren't secretly Argentine pesos
BingoBoingo suspects Paraguay calling out bad series of benjis is what got
them on US shitlist
this century (as opposed
to other
times
they got on US shitlist)
BingoBoingo: Honestly, being here it
took me a while
to get used
to
that slighly different color
the new benjis have
that good old Jackson's don't
mircea_popescu: let
the morons/amateurs/menalone/etcetera crop stick
to "freelancing", making websites, iphone apps and
the rest of
the cattle-adequate activities.
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the ownership of
this entire
thing is clearly established, and entirely nobody
the fuck else outside of properly authorized republican hands may fucking
touch it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not only i will negrate anyone who in any way participates in
that shameless shitsoup, starting with janneke moron, but eventually also shoot
them.
mircea_popescu: d for building
the complete system.
Therein lies a problem:
the current combined size of
these bootstrap binaries is about 250MB . Auditing or even inspecting
these is next
to impossible. For i686-linux and x86_64-linux, GuixSD now features a "Reduced Binary Seed" bootstrap (see
the wip-bootstrap branch). We would like
to say: "Full Source Bootstrap" and while we are working
towards
that goal it would be hyperbole
to use
that
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz, "Guix---like other GNU/Linux distributions---is
traditionally bootstrapped from a set of bootstrap binaries: Bourne shell, command-line
tools provided by GNU Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, sed, and grep and Guile, GCC, Binutils, and
the GNU C Library. Usually,
these bootstrap binaries are "taken for granted."
Taking
these binaries for granted means
that we consider
them
to be a correct and
trustworthy see
BingoBoingo: Men died honorably in combat/gutter, women left
to breed with
the other chattle
BingoBoingo: I dunno
that
the redskins were eliminated so much as interbred with
the imported german slaves
to
the point of disappearing
mircea_popescu: the last conflict with clear us agency would be
the redskin elimination, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i can't recall
the last
time
the eventual outcome had much
to do with
the us,
tbh. i mean, syria obviously entirely unrelated
to any usg claim
to agency. but it's not clear
their last victory did anything meaningful
to iraq ; certainly never budged either korea or vietnam.
the euros are exactly where
they'd have been had germany won ww2. and so following.
mircea_popescu: the "kicking", and increasingly more
the "shooting" happening principally in
the self-aimed navel-grazing devices.,
a111: Logged on 2016-08-13 14:20 asciilifeform: 'kick
the dog
till it bites,
then shoot it' is standard anglo approach, from boer war,
to ww2 japan,
to every poor motherfucker like
the one in link
BingoBoingo: Colon Powell is still a major player in
that young adult novel I started in 2010 when I lacked
to experience
to rightly attempt such a
thing
mircea_popescu: all
the way
to "iraq/syria/whatever BIONUCLEAR&CHEMICAL WEAPONS!!!!"

mircea_popescu: but anyway, certainly a lot of interest in stripmining
these days.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile
the Peruana lost interest in New York when I point out "Hace Calor" outside at 32 degrees, "Hace Frio" inside at 24 degrees, and snow doesn't become possible until
the number of degrees is less
than zero

there are some decent microscopists ( not
the 1 phf went
to, but apparently others. ) for instance, very recently found
that К1801 ( sovok 'pdp-11' single-chip ) was ~not~ in fact a photoclone of dec's (only
the early '80s demo ver was!) but ,
turns out, entirely indigenous orc design, with coupla x ~fewer~
transistors and yet faster max clock
BingoBoingo: I've been waiting
to drop
that factlet into a blog, but
there it is. One man month of hard if not particularly efficient work ~500-600 a month
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Artisinal gold mining is a
thing in Vzla.
Typical haul of an artisan gold op
there is 10 grams of gold per man-month
BingoBoingo: Declared Cuba/Nicaragua/Vzla new axis of "not listening

BingoBoingo: Derpident also claimed power
to order US military action

than baltimore, in any case.
