gabriel_laddel: mod6: what is your ultimate goal with
the gentoo quest?
mod6: I should be able
to get a box for
this sometime after
the 1st.
mod6: <+gabriel_laddel> mod6: Idk what exactly your goals are on your gentoo quest, but have you reached
the conclusion
that portage is insane and must go? <<
this project had
to
take a pause; I need
to get some cash
together
to buy a physical box
to put
together steps for configuration on real hardware as opposed
to aws or other cloud infrastructure. no, for now, I'm
trying
to stick with a Gentoo-amd64-uclibc-hardened.
That's
the goal anyway.
pete_dushenski: "Broadcom is known as a fabless company. It outsources all semiconductor manufacturing
to Asian merchant foundries, such as GlobalFoundries, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, Silterra,
TSMC, and United Microelectronics Corporation." << ahaha. so what
the fuck did $37 bn even buy ?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: though apparently
they recently purchase 'emulex' as well
pete_dushenski: "Avago, a maker of chips for
the wireless and industrial markets, is offering Broadcom shareholders $17 billion in cash and Avago shares valued at $20 billion in one of
the biggest deals ever in
the chip industry." << i have
to admit
that i'd never heard of 'avago' before.
gabriel_laddel: copypaste: re: your ddos / anon problems, have you read about wotnet in
the logs? \
pete_dushenski: there are a handful of such stores in pretty much every
town here !
pete_dushenski: i saw one such bookstore in manhattan a couple years back, complete with $30,000 copy of le petite prince, but
that was just one shop.
pete_dushenski: i've never seen so many beautifully preserved copies of literature, philosophy, history, biology, you name it. in german, french, latin, english
too
☟︎ pete_dushenski: also, it's worth mentioning
that for anyone into 100+ year-old deadtree books, switzerland is where it's at
pete_dushenski: thankfully,
there are plenty of relics and pieces of art
to pick from once
they shoot
themselves in
the head 9 more
times.
pete_dushenski: "They are also working on
technologies
that allow clients
to log into
their accounts using
their voice patterns and facial features, doing away with
the
time consuming and frustrating need
to answer security questions."
pete_dushenski: "Bruno and his
team are designing video games, including a prototype puzzle for iPads and smartphones, and looking at virtual reality simulations
to help people visualise what are often complex investment portfolios."
pete_dushenski: ""How do you get under
the skin of clients
today, because
they often work on
their mobiles and
they manage
their wealth in
their spare
time," said Dave Bruno, head of UBS's innovation lab. "It might be in
the bathroom, it might be waiting for a flight.""
pete_dushenski: "In a fifth floor office just off Zurich's main shopping street, researchers at UBS (UBSG.VX) are
testing dozens of
technologies
to see what could make
the world's biggest wealth manager more appealing as fortunes pass
to
the next generation."
gabriel_laddel: pete_dushenski: Nope. Consider
this a request for a blog post on your
travels in
these
two regions.
pete_dushenski: gabriel_laddel just curious ? have you been
to kr and cn as well ?
pete_dushenski: mhm. i've been
to pusan (where i have a cousin), beijing, shanghai, and hong kong.
pete_dushenski: i'd leave at
the drop of a hat if push came
to shove, but it hasn't yet.
pete_dushenski: traveling keeps me sane and clear-headed. edmonton is pretty dull but
that's where my roots are.
pete_dushenski: i just
travel for a few weeks here and a few more weeks
there.
gabriel_laddel: pete_dushenski: are you
traveling
the world, or do you
take up residency in
these countries from
time
to
time?
pete_dushenski: the 6-9 hour
train i
took across spain and portugal a few years ago most certainly did.
pete_dushenski: the
train system here is fantastic : frequent scheduling, short
trips, stations are conveniently located.
pete_dushenski: lol
the scenery out
the window is prettier. also,
tracks are a hell of a lot smoother
than shitty alberta roads.
gabriel_laddel: pete_dushenski: how do
the
trains compare
to your merc?
gabriel_laddel: OpenGL needs
to be
taken out back and shot, along with its creators
gabriel_laddel: (he raised something like 30MM - is doing
traditional housing)
gabriel_laddel: also, I
tried getting someone doing housing in SF excited about it
gabriel_laddel: pete_dushenski: nah, it was a message
to someone on #lisp
pete_dushenski: this is like
trying
to build a concrete foundation under a mountain
gabriel_laddel: So,
they put up signs warning schoolgirls about being molested on
the packed
trains, but never put any effort into... putting personal space on
the
trains or
the like.
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: pete_dushenski: ah, but
the weird bit is
that
this is (according
to asa akira)
the *most common* offense in JP, and happens
to a huge percentage of
the population.
pete_dushenski: gabriel_laddel it looks effective
to me. at least as much as any fuzzy rat puppet (in canada)
telling kids not
to
trust strangers
gabriel_laddel: ^ I can't read Japanese, but
that looks correct from what I've read of
the phenomenon.
gabriel_laddel: mod6: Idk what exactly your goals are on your gentoo quest, but have you reached
the conclusion
that portage is insane and must go?
gabriel_laddel: BAD (#bitcoin-assets distro) update #3. Install works (writing
this from a machine formatted in
the past 24hrs) and is a massive PITA. Next
TODO on my list is
to radically simplify (automate)
the install. I've updated install doc if anyone is interested: gabriel-laddel.github.io/system.html
gabriel_laddel: did you see
the signs
telling schoolchildren
to "beware
the chikan"?
gabriel_laddel: JP is weird. I don't know
that
they're censoring it because
they find it "offensive"
pete_dushenski: i can see
the idiots giving up on
their idiocy after a good chinese butt pumping.
pete_dushenski: one wonders what it'll
take
to break
the pixelation wall
gabriel_laddel: Oh
that would make a lovely hentai. Breaking
the 4th wall pixellation of privates.
assbot: Logged on 26-05-2015 00:50:22; mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski
the funniest part about
the medieval japanese cuts is
that at
the
time, bare cunt was
the standard
there and nowhere else. meanwhile,
they have
to pixelate it
today, lest it jumps out and eats
their head or something.
BingoBoingo: The hockey situation in
the US/Canada isn't much better. A number of great players drafted by NHL
teams are staying in
the KHL
BingoBoingo: They also don't so anything in
the way of running a minor league either, but...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
To be fair in illustrating
the US's humiliation over
the soccer situation
the US's most bezzel'd league had
teams selling
tickets under five dollars
to not fill stadiums in some
the same cities soccer was selling out.
mircea_popescu: that said, a bunch of
these
twerps were pretty rotten. jack warner being a fine example
BingoBoingo: Because OMG Serbia Vs. Croatia sold 45,000
tickets in a
third
tier midwestern city for and exhibition game
BingoBoingo: Basketball and Hockey were US
tamed pretty readily, but
the last couple years European
teams started doing a bunch of exhibition games in
the US and selling out so Nike and Gatorade had
to call
their congressmen
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically,
these dudes allowed
the us into soccer in
the 80s, now
the us doesn't want
them
to be
the bosses anymore.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Isn't nubbsy in
twodogs land?
gabriel_laddel: ;; later
tell nubbins` where all did you live in Korea?
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2015 03:26:41; *: asciilifeform spotted a gurl from
transylvania
today; she worked in a restaurant; queried based on accent, familiar from hanging out with mircea_popescu
cazalla: the shit is
too expensive anyway
cazalla: i don't really want
to be a gold medal winner at drinking
BingoBoingo: cazalla: We got
to carry it inshifts like and olympic
torch
cazalla scores 22, what's
this 8 business?
cazalla: "If you answered “yes”
to more
than 8 questions, you may have a serious level of alcohol-related problems requiring immediate attention and possible
treatment."
BingoBoingo: But who will help keep
the #b-a glass full?
cazalla: imma go
to AA or something lol
cazalla: gee
that was one awful hangover
BingoBoingo: Mebbe
they move
to 8chan for moar ad impressions?
BingoBoingo: It really is. Apparently
they organize around a reddit, butwho knows how long
that part will last given reddit's censorship.
BingoBoingo: probably appeal less
to #b-a members not in
the god damned middle west
BingoBoingo: This is probably either one of
the best or
the worst
times
to move into s.mpoe
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2015 01:51:58; BingoBoingo: MPOE seems like It's been awfully stable at
the 3 mark lately
