ascii_field: but it really cooks, in
terms of apparent performance on
the runway
ascii_field: every
time someone spews out a bastard, we end up snarfing preceding blocks
mircea_popescu: which is why
the piece howls like so. "india should be concerned about how we pooped our pants"
mats: mircea_popescu: i agree. US strategists, on
the other hand, should be concerned
ascii_field: a block gets fetched, here, potentially infinitely many
times
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't perceive what
the great danger is here.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu is wondering about wasted bw (of which
there is megatonnes) ?
ascii_field: if any part of
the patch does not make immediate sense, ask now - i'm about
to get into a wheeled coffin for a few hrs
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i have a clock on
the wall
mircea_popescu: ascii_field didja put instrumentation in place
to measure speed or bw ?
mircea_popescu: mats meh,
the entire china pakistan
thing seems overstated.
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 16:45:26; funkenstein_: wow,
that is not
that long ago. crocodiles didn't change much over
that
time.
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 20:41:33; mats: vulns being released for Hospira equipment due
to pending acquisition by Pfizer
ascii_field: (recall 'mule' debacle in emacs ?
that almost killed it as a living project ?)
ascii_field: it is so
that idiots can use 1,001 incompatible encodings for
their hieroglyphs
mircea_popescu: computers are for humans not for whatever
the fuck special needs monkeys use "diacritics"
mircea_popescu: fuck you, everyone. 27 letters or go back
to your fucking yurt.
mircea_popescu: and all
this so
that idiots can use
their idiot alphabets.
ascii_field knew
that mircea_popescu's antennae would stand up from reading
that
thing
ascii_field: 'we will slip
the cock in with such grease
that you will never notice'
mircea_popescu: "The drawback of using loadable objects is not a problem in
the GNU C Library, at least on ELF systems. Since
the library is able
to load shared objects even in statically linked binaries, static linking need not be forbidden in case one wants
to use iconv."
mircea_popescu: maybe once we get 100k pounds a year
to study our memories of collegiate dentistry.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha.
the spittoon is brim-full and rancid
ascii_field: many interesting observations could be written re:
the echonomy;
taxonomy of chumps (free-range vs corralled, etc.) and
the like
mircea_popescu: anyway, what would it be doing in bitcoin. waiting for when libnss is yanked out,
to kick in.
mircea_popescu: "All
the benefits of loadable modules are available in
the GNU C Library implementation.
This is especially appealing since
the interface is well documented (see below), and it,
therefore, is easy
to write new conversion modules."
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it occurs
to me
that
the word funkenstein_ was looking for,
to describe
the economy of chumps (whose coin is
the bezzlar) would be... echonomy.
mircea_popescu: "they're invigorating,
to
the people who can walk ; selling alcohol helps
the echonomy".
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 19:47:29; funkenstein_: How about educate
the morons?
ascii_field: again,
this is a very preliminary
thing. i strongly encourage others
to attempt replication.
mircea_popescu: As of April 30, 2015,
the new price for .ws domains has been increased
to
ascii_field: (why? exercise for
the alert reader. if no one gets, i will explain at some point)
ascii_field: note
that
this one isn't a backport from anyone
ben_vulpes: pulling
the pin under fire much less so
ben_vulpes: field-testing's
the easy part (sort of)
ascii_field: which one of you folks will be
the brave man, who
tests
this one.
ascii_field: 'To honour, while you strike him down, /
The foe
that comes with fearless eyes; /
To count
the life of battle good, / And dear
the land
that gave you birth, / And dearer yet
the brotherhood /
That binds
the brave of all
the earth.' (TM) (R)
ascii_field: memory footprint climbs very, very slowly. as far as i can
tell,
thus far,
this is 100% due
to fragging
ascii_field: [BTC-dev] (EXPERIMENTAL) Full Orphanage
Thermonuke.
lobbes: so far, it feels noticeably faster
than
the windows 8.1
that came with
the machine (toy)
lobbes: which seems
to make sense as against what makes linux strong
lobbes: and
the whole 'roll up all
the
things into one
thing'
lobbes: Now
to change
the init
to something other
than systemd (for reasons I don't fully grok yet, other
than it is being pushed pretty aggressively, from what I gather)
lobbes got his new 'training laptop' installed with debian over
the weekend.
ascii_field: mod6: now, as far as i can
tell, it doesn't jam up
the attempted static build
mod6: ok gotcha.
thanks for
the heads up.
PFate: i just got booted from conneciton, not sure i have much
to
talk about ATM
jurov: PFate:
this is just for 30mins, so speak up if you want
mats: vulns being released for Hospira equipment due
to pending acquisition by Pfizer
☟︎ BingoBoingo: trinque: Putting aside
the nonsensical "hospital" and "secure", home use of
these
things isn't uncommon
trinque: BingoBoingo: hospital networks are required by law
to be secure; I don't see
the problem with
this
pete_dushenski: "Canada's Bombardier Inc and Egypt's Orascom Construction and Arab Contractors will build a $1.5 billion monorail near Cairo, Egypt's housing minister said.The 52 kilometre (32 mile) project is set
to be completed by mid-2018 with funding from a 14-year loan" << monorail, monorail, MONORAIL!
funkenstein_: Bad sense developed 1830s-50s, in part from influence of French socialist writings (especially Saint Simon), also perhaps influenced by use of
the word in U.S. anti-slavery writing;
funkenstein_: hmm. . exploitation (n.) 1803, "productive working" of something, a positive word among
those who used it first
trinque: cop isn't
the exploiter in
that scenario
funkenstein_: actually
they will not let you wear a police uniform if you score
too well on standardized
tests
ascii_field: funkenstein_: who holds
the rifle during deer season? man or deer? and why
trinque: you'd have
to first have
the power
to compel
the morons
to learn
funkenstein_: Often
the "exploiter" is just a moron
that has been given a gun and a uniform.
ascii_field: are precisely adopting one of
those
two options. (Social democracy is a little more advanced: Kill everything outside 2 sigma.)'
ascii_field: 'The problem is
that "exploitation" happens only
to people stupider (and consequently less informed)
than
the "exploiter".
The root cause of
this whole world problem is
that some people are smarter
than others.
There are
two basic solutions
to
this problem: Kill all
the morons, or kill all
the brains. If you look at how several political regimes have behaved
throughout history, you might get
the impression
that
they
☟︎ trinque: no one could possibly have been
that far ahead of everyone else
ascii_field: i will add, for interested readers,
that mccarthy's garbage collection (and other items) 'did not count' for
the same precise reason why mpex 'does not count'
to american muppets, and in general why
the annoying kid who 'throws
the curve' and sends entire classroom of imbeciles
to
the bottom of
the sea, is decreed
to 'not count.'
ascii_field: 'radical nutrition: how
to
transform your life by not eating shit'
mircea_popescu: "a novel method
to live. not previously described in art."
mircea_popescu: "Blanton, Brad 1996, Radical Honesty: How
To
Transform Your Life By
Telling
The
Truth"
ascii_field: e.g., java folks 'discovered' garbage collection in mid 90s (after mccarthy invented it in 1960, but
this 'does not count' because reasons.)
mircea_popescu: much more keenly aware of how retarded engineers are
than
the contrary.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you'd be surprised at how often
this kind of
thing -actually- plays out in programmaretarddom
mircea_popescu: i mean
think about it, dialectics was a novel device early 1900s, impressive and all.
ascii_field: emotional superstructures over events
that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in
terms of what happened but of what ought
to have happened according
to various ‘party lines’. ' (orwell, 'looking back on
the spanish war')
ascii_field: the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where
there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw
troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and
traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as
the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing
these lies and eager intellectuals building
ascii_field: 'I remember saying once
to Arthur Koestler, ‘History stopped in 1936’, at which he nodded in immediate understanding. We were both
thinking of
totalitarianism in general, but more particularly of
the Spanish civil war. Early in life I have noticed
that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for
the first
time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation
to
the facts, not even
mircea_popescu: to
this day
the principal value of latin america literature is its patent insanity in
this sense.
mircea_popescu: new world did exactly
the same
thing, dressed its solipsism
to look like euro
truth. but it's still solipsism
mircea_popescu: judea bastardized it into some sort of idiotic mysticism, which is really just rehashing
their pre-existing idiocies
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
tbh, i suspect
the euro notion of
truth never really caught on, even in its own colonies.
mircea_popescu: contemporary records are just as unreliable, it's just
that meanwhile our friends in
the us inhabituated us with
this barbarism
ascii_field: cn never really invented 'history' in
the euro sense (of at least attempting de-mythologized recordkeeping)
mats: this unreliability is magnified
the further back you go
