mircea_popescu keeps sitting down
to write
trilema articles, ends up producing full featured articles for people's blogs' comments sections.
BingoBoingo: To put
the contrast differently. As a
trade, datacenter
tech is portable. A datacenter
tech does his work and follows opportunities like an oilfield roughneck. A customer service manager enters a carrera in
the Latino sense of it being a race. It's a race
to either move up in
the organization of move from organization
to organization while staying in front of rot
that accumulates in other aspects of
the business.
BingoBoingo understands
that datacenter
tech is a sorta
trade while customer service manager is in many cases is a sort of fall guy.
BingoBoingo: Apartment rents in
their neighborhood appear
to be ~150%
to 175% of similarly situated Montevideo rents, and
they opened
the conversation with a request for my salary expectations. I appreciated
they replied, even with an opportunity other
than what I approached
them about... but I'd like
to avoid
the situation where I end up in
the wrong job *and* underpaid for
taking on
the extra risk.
BingoBoingo: jfw dorion_road: Do you know anything about an operation calling itself Panamaservers.com? Of particular interest, is Panama a small enough place you maybe ran into
their last Customer service and support manager?
BingoBoingo: In unlikely local headlines seen
today, ~10 million USD worth of "contraband" went from Uruguay
to Paraguay contrary
to everything I understand about smuggling between
the Guays.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Right.
The sweep continues.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
they aren't paricularly looking
to get more hands in Uruguay, but
they are interested enough
to have a get
to know you sit down. I'm emphasizing my readiness
to locate while moderating my expectations.
BingoBoingo: Actually owning, provisioning
the Datacenter more of a Burlington sorta industry.
BingoBoingo: Asia's delivered some fast, but dumb. I am beginning
to suspect folks with heads in
the DC space may have moved
to doing
the POP in a bunch of other people's buildings
thing Pizarro was intended
to grow into.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm
trying
to get
that number up
to 500. Sticking with
the small got a lot of
the same dumb silence I met in 2017.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, if you refrain you'll never know what's wrong with
them eh
BingoBoingo: Lead from expanding
the search
to non-Equinix, non-NTT chains
BingoBoingo: In new developments, next week will be meeting with someone from a datacenter firm
that keeps POPs all all over South America when he hits Montevideo.
lobbes: and with
that, I'm going back
to
the workbench for said mp-wp bot.

the
understanding ebuilds self-assignment is a good starting point in
the meantime as
the strategy clarifies. How about you explain
them
to yourself in
the form of a blog article(s) ?
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953620 << sounds good
to me.
The mp-wp bot needs
to be completed/delivered
this week (which I will have some extra
time
to do so due
to upcoming US holidays). Once I get
that and
the auctionbot work estimation complete, I will propose a deadline for my ebuild 101 homework.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-26 19:26:28 dorion_road: lobbes Reading your
latest plan, looks like auctionbot work remains outstanding useful. How much work/time do you estimate for
the auctionbot updates ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-26 13:29:01 mircea_popescu: conversation, at least among well spoken & intelligent people and in
the context of organizing work, very well resembles well written programs for well built machines for
the exactly obvious reason :
that's what
the machine aims
to be, a well spoken intelligent person.
dorion_road: mircea_popescu
thanks, making it explicit since I'm new here.
mircea_popescu: a project's in some
trouble when management's
technically above
the actual engineers for chrissakes. and yes,
the whole point of even having a republic is fine high escalation, so as
to be able
to deal well with insanely difficult rare problems.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 17:07:58 jfw: I expect
that'd be quite difficult, its libGL is a glibc-based .so
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-13 18:16:19 bvt: re
tmsr os - i am curious what work plan
trinque will come up with, esp wrt static linking.
dorion_road: For fundamental strategy decisions such as
the
static linking knot, I'm really going
to have
to lean heavily on
the
technical expertise here.
dorion_road: I will make it clear here
that I judge
trinque's
technical knowledge and experience
to be much greater
than my own, from both programming and sys admin perspective.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't know if I've been
this strictly encouraging
to read since
the War of Life debut.
dorion_road: lobbes

jfw: diana_coman:
that needs
to be done, yes; I suppose I'd have
to do
this as my morning writing, if you'd be ok with
that
dorion_road: jfw wallet is
top priority
this week. can you get a start on your Gales writing as part of
the
time you have allocated for writing.
diana_coman: jfw: after
the work on
the wallet
though, no/
jfw: dorion_road, diana_coman: we're in clear agreement
that I should write it up
then;
think I should make
that a priority for
this week?

ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-13 03:01:41 lobbes: I'm aiming
to get remainder of mp-wp logger complete in under
two weeks.
Then rest of Nov I want
to
tidy up auctionbot. So Dec 1st should be a good starting point for me

trinque: k, so
this is little else
than creating a signed
tarball of
the cuntoo bootstrapper's output, and building a livecd/usb
that can unpack
that item onto a fresh system, bundled with some driver firmware and a
try-all-modules kernel.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 00:43:50 lobbes: fwiw, as I understood it
the plan was
trinque would be managing spyked and myself on
the
livecd/usb work, starting in
Dec dorion_road: I understand
the "what you're engaging" part is important
to know in deciding, but for
the sake of sharing an estimate
that it's work you're interested in.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 21:24:34
trinque: best of luck
to dorion_road
then. last I heard neither spyked nor lobbes were free until december, and no, I'm not able
to maintain
the pace of engagement
this appears
to require.
diana_coman: jfw should publish all
that Gales work and docs
too, for sure.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 18:02:15 jfw: mircea_popescu: a Linux distro, yes,
though my understanding was
that what we built
there was
too narrow in hardware and application support
to be of more general interest
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 16:03:55 jfw:
To update on
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1950766 , I would be more comfortable with 10 hours a week, at least if it's an "intangibles and goodwill" sort of deal. dorion_road was in accord if I recall. And as discussed with spyked,
the limited
time could provide a good pressure
to keep it productive.
BingoBoingo: I suppose Asian proficiency in English can't be any worse
than Uruguay's alleged "Best in Latin America,
though no one knows what
the letters sound like" English
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Asia just seems a lot more alien
than anywhere else.
spyked: mircea_popescu,
that inflation isn't limited just
to version numbers
tho.
those numbers are just
the
tip of
the iceberg hiding underneath a whole lot of stupid changes. e.g. gcc 4.7
to 4.9 had quite a few changes (among others)
to default flags, admittedly. but 4.9
to 6, ffs
that broke compilation for a lot of projects.
mircea_popescu: but anyways, a lot of
this "it's just numbers" attitude since
the innumerate have been "no kid left behind"'d into everyone's processes.
then once cats finally join
the fray as fully franchised
theirdemocracy voters &c, it'll be "whatever, it's just calendars" and so on.
mircea_popescu: (among
teh great advantages of ye log import : sql search for "power" "rangers" now yields 94 rows in set, all of
the Forum logs for X format. yippee! i kinda do vaguely regret however not bothering
to immortalize
the original gushing fan on
tardstalk, "oh, you guys are like power rangers!!!" in excited response
to
the perceived great acumen displayed by hearn fucking up bitcoin while everyone else was watching manga)
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-09 05:40:35 mircea_popescu: all sorta chuck moores, "famous" and apparently ever so good and useful, just WAITING for you
to give
them a chance
to strangle you.
mircea_popescu: whereas for
the generation ingoing with
the sept
that never ended,
their exactly just as deeply rooted precisely equal fear of its own inconsequence and inadequacy manifested as version number inflation, with which printing press
to pay off on
the hopes&dreams of a
team of retards. simple monetization of
the sacred cows of
the previous generation, really, which is how neoprotestantism ever works.

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-25#1953525 <-- way I see it,
this version numbering scheme comes as a consequence of
the adoption of a "move fast and break
things" ideology. it's just numbers,
the guys leading
those projects don't
try
to make any distinction between "major" and "minor" changes anymore
mircea_popescu: ore over
two decades and nobody was ever gonna make a 3 again.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953553 << countervailingly,
the way i see it is
that insecurity flipped once
the generations changed ;
the generation outgoing with
the sept
that never ended had a deeply rooted fear of its own inconsequence and inadequacy
that manifested in a version of neoprotestant modesty whereby by
the
time a program reached version 2 something it had passed
through
three hands or m

trinque in a more advisory/consultant role? I
thought
this was more or less
the original plan
to begin with
tbh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo,
that sounds pretty great, actually. what's wrong with asia after all,
they have
tiny weird looking chicks but i guess one can always rubberband a coupla
together and fuck in between
the bellies. vaseline conquers all!
mircea_popescu: trinque, not
the end of
the world, we see how it goes.
bvt: spyked: ftr,
this is just a brain dump, i'm
trying
to evolve my own understanding of
the problem
spyked goes
to read bvt's fresh article on
this

to 9 in under a decade either.

Dec BingoBoingo: I am suspecting Asia prefers Gringo employees
to gringo entrepreneurs/business partners.
BingoBoingo: 16 minutes from my solicitation
to: "Let's schedule a conference call. What
time works for you?"
BingoBoingo: It's looking like I probably should have started
the search with Asia... Fastest non-autoresponder response yet (notably faster
than when I approached
the place for a quote)
