mod6: BingoBoingo: eh, i
think it was about
the same, just a minute about
to create charts and push
to web.

☟︎ thestringpuller: trinque: you were
that kid who managed
to break a gameboy weren't you?
trinque: meanwhile I dropped my old black macbook down stairs
twice, did fine
trinque: yeah,
their strategy seems
to be make something fragile, call it a
tool, laugh arse off when
the customer realizes it's not
ascii_field: he
tried
to return it, 2 wks old, apple
told him
to piss off
ascii_field: trinque: retina mac, and I dropped it and smashed
the shit out of
the screen << colleague of mine had one which cracked, in front of my eyes, by itself
ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'fill out PO's until
they find one
they like' in my case resulted in a mountain of garbage
trinque: was a retina mac, and I dropped it and smashed
the shit out of
the screen
ascii_field: like suspend mode where battery continues
to drain, etc
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
the starbucks hipster is usually
the unemployable art school student.
the employable ones don't complain about
tools since
they just fill out PO's until
they find one
they like.
ascii_field: and
there are no 'small' but intolerable driver imperfections
ascii_field: whole fucking point is
that os is shipped by same folks who made
the iron
trinque: ascii_field: wasted way
too much
time getting a gentoo
tuned on a mac
trinque: and I'd be happy
to replace it with something
that was basically a
terminal emulator with a nic
ascii_field got
tired of
the gymnastics of maintaining an apple box
to be somewhat usably posixy/x11y - and is now on an 'unusable' laptop
trinque: this is certainly
the last I'll purchase
mircea_popescu: laptops are for chicks
too worn out
to fit normal dildoes anymore.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the closest approximation
to a usable laptop is (or was) sold by apple
mircea_popescu: as opposed
to competency at pretending like one's involved in art.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
that's because logical competency and art don't go
together. better
trying
to mix oil and water.
ascii_field: (among
things missing from 'gimp' is, at least last i saw, support for pressure-sensitive input gizmos like 'wacom')
ascii_field: the hell i'm gonna spin up a winblows box just
to edit a graphic
thestringpuller: and yet no one uses GIMP in real life unless
they are poor and/or hate Adobe.
ascii_field: phun phact: it is
the official gnu extension language, for what it's worth
trinque: I was adding sweet flames
to
text or something
trinque: mircea_popescu: may have been
the first
time I encountered a lispy
thing in
the wild
ascii_field: but sooner operator will be struck by lightning 10e10
times
ascii_field: -could-
turn out
to be one anyway if
the gods were
to smile
mircea_popescu: trinque imagine my surprise when i discovered
that gimp actually uses scheme as a scripting language.
ascii_field: 'random' in
the strict sense of -not- being a product of carefully selected long primes p and q passing various
tests
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: essentially
the results of random integer n
trinque: I have a vague inkling
that CLOS can be used for
things I use RDBMS for, but I am not
there yet
thestringpuller: trinque: yup. Puppet did an "okay" job of managing
the config scheme among multiple machines in a single environment.
trinque: course it runs into every problem anyone ever made a
terrible XML
thing for
trinque: you just munge
things out with sed/awk/grep and call it good
trinque: yep, nobody has any fucking idea what
the structure of /etc is
thestringpuller: ah. well even on a lower level, like for instance going from a local Apache instance (running on iface 127.0.0.1)
then running it on prod.
trinque: thestringpuller: "show me all
the config items which make reference
to a hostname"
trinque: thestringpuller: needs something with a declared schema, referential integrity, other fancy
things from rdbms land
thestringpuller: docker does
this in a way similar
to floppy drive press enter
to boot kinda deal
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude who
the fuck is
that gbanga fellow. responding
to himself nao...
thestringpuller: trinque: yea which, in my eyes, illuminates
the underlying problem
that is not solved: consistent configuration from one environment
to
the next.
assbot: Logged on 04-06-2015 19:45:13; fluffypony: "former serial murderer serving life in prison says other serial murderers are 'going
to be in prison' eventually"
trinque: amounts
to building a pillow fort in your living room
thestringpuller: the security
theatre part is a nuclear bomb waiting
to go off.
trinque backs away slowly before he starts
talking about using relational modeling for CM
thestringpuller: well
that and
the images are
truly portable if
the host is sane.
trinque: but it's actually several features of a sane *operating-system, not some bolt-on
to linux
trinque: I see what it
tries
to be, and people can get some benefit out of it
trinque: thestringpuller: he's actually a local buddy of mine; we've chewed on
that one a couple
times
thestringpuller: it's supposed
to remove
the sysadmin from
the equation if you don't have money
to pay for nice ones.
trinque: yep, sounds like your
taster is
tuned
mircea_popescu: trinque i never formed an actual opinion on
the grounds
that it looked
too gimmicky and widely adopted in
the astroturf manner for my
taste.
trinque: I
tend
to
try one new
thing per project;
that one's headed for
the ash heap
trinque: equal parts security
theater, wrong problem, and "deny
the underlying system exists"
trinque: this docker
thing is a piece of siht
trinque: it's getting
there; got some changes I'll be making
this weekend
mod6: trinque: ah, aight,
thanks.
thestringpuller: davout: you heard Fat Zuckerberg! Paymium is a disaster waiting
to happen!
trinque: chain him up somewhere and let people
take a swing at him for 0.1BTC, repay accounts out of
the proceeds
shinohai: I just want
to smack him one
time. Just once.
trinque: "At least in
the
traditional world of finance,
these different institutions are separated." << if only
there were screening programs which flagged potential serial killers in childhood, we'd never have another
fluffypony: "former serial murderer serving life in prison says other serial murderers are 'going
to be in prison' eventually"
☟︎ davout: on of
the redditards has it,
the guy should really write for
the onion
ascii_field: '“The guys
that were working down out of Hurlburt,
they’re combing
through social media and
they see some moron standing at
this command. And in some social media, open forum, bragging about
the command and control capabilities for Daesh, ISIL. And
these guys go: ‘We got an in.’ So
they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later
through
that very building,
three [Joint Direct Attack Munitions]
ta
trinque: loose
tweets stain sheets?
shinohai: I personally want
to see wallet binary divorced from
the server.
trinque: also
that paragraph at
the end is representative of
the new communism. "govts print money
therefore y u no free money?" as per recent
thread
shinohai: @ danielpbarron nearly synced fully and
the new address imports work good.
trinque: gotta love
that zerohedge hyperbole
ascii_field: (the actual american zhirinovsky is not unambiguously one man, but could be peter
thiel, ron/rand paul, a number of other folks)
ascii_field: funny how mr mold is being groomed
to become a junior assistant zhirinovsky
danielpbarron: >> Glad
to see Moldbug now gone from
the @strangeloop_stl speaker list. I'm sure he wouldn't have been
there at all if
they'd known about him.
danielpbarron: that "moldbug" guy got kicked out of some
tech conference
