justJanne: your phone will burn
through your clothes. And
then ignite everything around it, before becoming a blob of molten lava
mircea_popescu: mod6
the entire
toaster miner
thing was lulzy
to begin with, but smartphone coronat opus.
mod6: asciilifeform: heh, now
these 21 guys are saying
they wanna make embeddable mining chips for smart phones. glwt. seeing as how
they run out of power in like 9 minutes as it is.
justJanne: mkdir -p #bitcoin-assets && cat /dev/urandom |
tr -dc a-zA-Z0-9 > #bitcoin-assets/random
justJanne: though one day
the script wiped
the drive itself was on, never found it again
trinque: man I need a good amount of raging out
to metal per day
justJanne: for some years I had a script
that wipes a random harddrive at a random
time
danielpbarron: i'm not into music enough
to care about
these
things anymore
trinque: lol yeah I formatted
the drive
too
danielpbarron: yeah i lost all my flac files when i forgot i had
them on a harddrive i used
to make
the RAID in my full node
danielpbarron: oh I get
the advantages
to lossless; I even went out of my way
to buy special hardware (fancy headphones and an iPhone-style device with custom firmware)
trinque: I like how youtube has every damn everything on it, and continues
to exist
justJanne: danielpbarron: it makes sense
to have 1400kbps FLAC, as
that’s CD quality
assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 22:16:09; justJanne: ben_vulpes: still, compared
to all
those 9000$ expensive audio cables, or Beats headphones, lossless FLAC has an advantage over 128kbps mp3
justJanne: nah, spending one year in
those chats, 24/7 is something I’ll never get back.
mircea_popescu: dude let
the woman have her childhood. i listened
to fucking iron maiden!
justJanne: I’ve seen
the movie 13
times in cinema >_>
mircea_popescu: they do a
trick, for frozen cgi, which is very hard
to do by hand, where
they fold her face in a particular moe pattern. amusingly enough -
this is very similar
to how pharma works, because it involves searching
the space of possible facefolds for something
that's not in
the uncanny valley and works.
justJanne: a friend did, but I collected
them
trinque: heh maybe if
the last
two
terms are swapped
justJanne read
that as
trinique.see() ? someday : sure
mircea_popescu: justJanne blessfully, relatively few people live in
that sort of shithole. speaking of which, do you have plans
to escape ?
trinque: justJanne: someone requires I use
thing X as part of my browser, and
that's
the day I stop using browsers
trinque: of course; it's something I may run into or not, but I will not
try
to make sense of wooden ducks
mircea_popescu: so "prove i did it" has a very simple counter : if you weigh
the same as a duck
trinque: mircea_popescu: yes
that makes sense re: law
justJanne: we’re
talking here about a government where
the chancellor has a PhD in Quantum Chemistry – obviously not stupid, but evil.
mircea_popescu: it's point is not
to produce sicence, but
to prevent people from clobbering each other.
mircea_popescu: here's a simple explanation catering
to you specifically : it's not a
truth finding mechanism, it's a consensus building mechanism.
trinque: I don't
think anyone in government could form
those sentences
justJanne: and governments
then passing laws
that "circumventing client-side access control" becomes a crime
trinque: the browser's a fine document
thing and it should stop
there before it hurts someone
trinque: and you've got other people
trying
to use
the
things as proper programming
tools
trinque: so you've got one group of derps demanding
the
thing be "intuitive"
to "those people"
trinque: the conflict
there is
the same one as in SQL
mircea_popescu: trinque
the selector
thing is specific js
tho, and it does something not afaik doable in html per se
trinque: I do
think many "web apps" of
today would do better
to be written as native code which just opens a socket for data
trinque: mircea_popescu: I can't argue with HTML being a decent way of publishing articles; seems
to have worked out pretty well
justJanne: if your parents didn’t kill you for
the dialup bill,
though
justJanne: in 2010 you could
throw wget -r on
the new york
times and get, after a few weeks, half of
the web.
justJanne: adlai: yes, but in 2008 you could just curl
the web and get it all
adlai: justJanne: dunno, it seems obvious
that if you want
to crawl
the luser-visible web, you simulate
the luser, not curl
justJanne: like
that it encourages
them
to use more functional code
mircea_popescu: trinque i dunno dood, i love
the select
thing on
trilema.
trinque: subcategory of... JS is an appalling language and bolted
to
the DOM it's even worse
justJanne: when my crawler stopped working due
to
this,
trinque: I approve of you having independently discovered
that
this is a shit way
to do
things.
justJanne: makes
the job a lot harder for crawlers
justJanne: JS webapps
that do everything in-browser
trinque: that looks like someone's stupid js data bindey
thing fucked up
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for copypaste from 1
to 2 with note: Confirmed for
the ever-awesome HotWheels.
trinque: justJanne: points out
the conflict between
the web-as-document-store and web-as-app-things
mircea_popescu: !rate copypaste 2 Confirmed for
the ever-awesome HotWheels.
justJanne: people writing in-browser apps
that don’t support linking
assbot: You rated user copypaste on 13-May-2015, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: Presumably, 8chan owner.
mircea_popescu: you were ripping flash vids before your voice changed. wtf is
this!
trinque: I'm not saying
the browser isn't adding features; I'm saying it's aping
the
tired ways of a previous generation
mircea_popescu: justJanne wait,
the sad days from when you were... 9 ?
trinque: with a canvas like
the canvas
tag
trinque: flash was just another ecmascript runtime
thing
mircea_popescu: and 8chan was,
to my surprise, chock full of html5 videos
that work just fine.
justJanne: I remember
the sad days of having
to decompile swf objects just
to rip a video.
justJanne: Now I can just grep
through
the JS, find
the link
to
the .mp4, and wget it, and watch it offline
mircea_popescu: im really impressed with stuff like gyfcat or w/e
that was called.
trinque: hilarious also
that
the shit getting put into
the browser is effectively whatw as in flash
mircea_popescu: what now ? owned by a 19yo girl ? not even speaking her mother
tongue ? HOW!!1 do you expect
to end up bitter like me
this wya ?
trinque: yeah I'll grant browsers are going further
towards "open
techmology" whatever
that means
ben_vulpes: justJanne: have you been following
the glibc
travails?
justJanne: hey, at least nowadays
the web is getting better again.
trinque: kazaa was when
the idiots all joined
the party and ruined it
trinque: ben_vulpes: goddamn kids don't understand
the unlimited buffet
that was
the intertubes
trinque: man
that was a glorious age of
the internet
ben_vulpes: bitch please back in
the day gnutella /was/ mainstream
justJanne: ben_vulpes: we’re
talking about services
that have a chance of mainstream adoption.
justJanne: yeah, still –
Tidal is
the first service providing CD quality.
trinque: and will just see 10 bucks more
than
the 10 bucks I'm already not paying
