mircea_popescu: pity it's missing,
too, because i know of scarcely better word
to denote us corp drone besides ro
tîmpiți.
mircea_popescu: timpit doesn't even exist in any sense, unless you dig out slavonic. what's
the english ~word~ for someone made dull by repeated blunt skull
trauma ?
mircea_popescu: sadly
they sound like nothing in english. "devli's ox" wtf is
that ?!

mircea_popescu: come
to
think about it, perhaps
the largest open question re ro language would be why exactly everything exasperatingly dubious belongs
to
the Fish.
mircea_popescu: "staff" didn't know what's highly offensive
to it until
the nigger brigade showed up
to enlighten!
mircea_popescu: "It has been brought
to our attention [...]
that offensive language is commonly used by [...] staff. Such behavior, in addition
to violating our policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive
to both visitors and staff." << very
typical flavour of
bureaucrat alt-worlding, "here staff, here's wha
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the dead endness of dead ends is ~always~ going
to be sitting on a pyramid
tho. "how do you know
this can't be" very different from "here,
try it, it works"
mircea_popescu: that literally ~advanced~ metamaterial isn't for
this advance further, but rather -- closer.\

times until such gem was polished into its current greatness.
mircea_popescu: nah, rather, "winner" of
tournament
thingee, now stuck pretending like he's a sorta king sui generis.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you happen
to recall / still have
that poster ?
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 18:39 mircea_popescu: actually,

mircea_popescu: nobody even fucking knows such a
thing as "laura stone" even existed, except for romanians old enough
to recall
the 90s.
mircea_popescu: (i know it sounds ridoinculous, but obscure starlet
took job
to do some show or other in ro and as a result ended up hounded by ~all males, including
the "finance minister" (a "technocratic expert" bla bla etcetera),
the star soccer player,
the star
tennis player / chief bisnitar etc.
mircea_popescu: pity
the internet wasn't invented by romanians, it'd have racial resistance
to
trolling built in by default.
mircea_popescu: sadly i can't seem
to locate it anymore.

mircea_popescu: t went, "dear employees, please do not refer

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
they simply never found
the linguistic resources (yes,
that's a pun.)
a111: Logged on 2019-02-07 20:05 mircea_popescu: romanians imply various subtle distinction. eg, "gargaun" would be
the sort of skittering beetle
that digs unseen and ruins structures, like
termite or weevil (the folk name of which, "gargarita", very much model for name)
mircea_popescu: (the usgistani model, where "career women" and "corporate life" and what
the fuck is ~particularly~ amusing in romania, where
the difference between
this,
http://gothtypes.wikia.com/wiki/Emo_Goth and
the lengthy history of male receptive homosexuality social expression can simply not be made.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: eh,
the divergence between what
they put in
their reports
to shareholders and what's going on irl is aptly summarized by
that "which changed
the
TV program viewing modality" wooden
tongue explosion.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 18:12 mircea_popescu:
they have a whole signalling
thing in ada, so you don't have
to do
the retarded c infinite loop
mircea_popescu: "In May 2011, UPC launched for
the first
time
the 3D
technology, which changed
the
TV program viewing modality."

BingoBoingo: The split is more cages without any desktops and cages
that are all desktops.

the pov prevailed, and
their early ad-hoc "dc" in a sovok flat room somewhere contained proper boxed desktops instead of server racks.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 16:15 asciilifeform: unix i/o is retarded, if blocking read blocks, it gives you a zombie process , and
the next process you start
that
tried
to read same
tty, will also become zombie
diana_coman: but
the whole
thing here was more about what completing
the job means - which so far is not defined and at any rate it's defined with
the Job, not with
the worker as it were; anyway, I stumbled on
this just as part of usual "poke new
things around in all directions"
diana_coman: sure, as
the code shows
there is no infinite loop anyway yes; workers will wait on Get_Job and
that's pretty much
mircea_popescu: they have a whole signalling
thing in ada, so you don't have
to do
the retarded c infinite loop
☟︎ diana_coman: and
to clarify just in case
there was any doubt: NO, workers are not meant
to loop for ever or any such nonsense; BUT I still can't assume
that can not happen!
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 17:01 mircea_popescu:
the only correct solution
to "this program has spawned something it can't kill" is "kill
the program
then".
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893756 ->
this makes in fact a lot of sense esp given asciilifeform's observation
that indeed,
that's an unrecoverable error state; so
this sounds good: if child
task doesn't die when aborted
then kill self (taking
the
task with self
too ofc); I'll experiment with
this but afaik so far it should work

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and i said "why would you buy
these small shits,
they don't even have a reset button"
mircea_popescu still recalls discussion in
the heart of what later became one of romania's largest isps, when sold
to i udn recall who : five dudes each with large-ish ad hoc networks (i suspect you recall
those) were
talking about pooling, and
they needed what in
the civilised world is a peering noc, and it was discussed what items
to buy
mircea_popescu: but i will not stand for
this "can't kill my baby" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: i'm not against a kernel
that a) never itself crashes and b) always kills anything i want FOR me, and elegantly.
