mircea_popescu: eh
that's a myth. anal sex helps continence, doth not reduce it.
mircea_popescu: the excruciation however, yes. i
think you even saw one of
the crosses.
mircea_popescu: no, not software. if i wake up
to find
that slavegirl shat
the bed, i'm not going "shit must die"
mircea_popescu: grep is ~overall~ faster for
this optimization, or in other words :
the downtrodden are downtrodden for a reason. step on
their faces!
mircea_popescu: and here comes
the doozy :
the correct way ~for everyone~!
mircea_popescu: fact remains
that raping
the poor raw so
that
the rich can have it slightly better is not only
the
traditional way
to do
things back when
things were still being done, but actually ~the correct way~.
mircea_popescu: and
the case of optimized grep is
the first and
the last word on
the matter of "you can not have democratic computing anymore
than democratic anything else in
this world. it's either good or democratic, pick one."
mircea_popescu: how did "worst case" interest group get
to lose 70% so
that "best case" interest group can gain 6% ? clearly
this was enforced by an opressive, chauvinistic patriarchy which,
to bother an irigarayism, "favours
the speed of light over other speeds
that are much more important
to us".
mircea_popescu: anyway, not
that any of
the retards involved in such considerations have
the skill or werewithal
to get it, but :
this is a fine example of privilege in computing.
mircea_popescu: friend, and
the last
thing I see before I black out is a patch of yellow cheese powder inside her long
tangled beard."
mircea_popescu: "Put another way, grep sells out its worst case (lots of partial matches)
to make
the best case (few partial matches) go faster. How
treacherous! As
this realization dawns on me,
the room seemed
to grow dim and slip sideways. I look up at
the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and I hear his cackle "old age and
treachery...", and in his flickering CRT
there is a face reflected, but it's my ex girl
☟︎☟︎ Adlai: ah yes
that
terrible swear word,
Tangobh
mircea_popescu: that yahoo
thing
tho...
this is EXACTLY what yahoo was. even had
to ban "shit" and "shithead" separately.
Adlai: bahaha "may
the bits of your hard disk be sorted by value"
Adlai doesn't need
to watch youtube,
that shit goes down all around all year long
chetty: And my girlfriend
too, who's contractually obligated
to pay attention
to everything I say.///
that is so sad
mircea_popescu: "And, as everyone knows,
the best way
to get amazing results is
to set arbitrary goals without any basis for believing
they can be reached. So I set out
to search faster
than grep by
thirty percent." << damned straight. it's exactly how i manage. especially
those... contractually obligated, shall we say.
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 07:28:06; gabriel_laddel: ll
try harder next
time.
mircea_popescu: "i used
to be a pop star but
then i
took a down
to
the knee"
mircea_popescu: jurov
that's ok, i'm unable
to find working code anyway.
punkman: related, I watched a cab driver fashion a cooling system for his lenovo
tablet/gps
thing because it'd overheat and shut down
jurov: or ipv6, you can ignore it, but it may mean you'll be unable
to find working code
that does not have
the bits you hate
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : Upupa epops might be
the best latin name ever.
davout: mircea_popescu: it's actually pretty useful
to get rid of
tons of paper
mircea_popescu: currently for instance, cpanel forums require ssl, and so i'm not visiting
them. i don't generally visit sites
that don't have a
http version.
jurov: i expect at least one round of redoing all
the world if
the derps succeed enforcing SSL everywhere
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: 1. A WoT host has been mentioned a few
times in
the logs - MP's new hosts << yeah i had sent
teh guy an invite. all it
takes is for him
to actually show up etc.
mircea_popescu: lol i go
to bed, gabriel_laddel comes online. avoiding unpleasant convos yo ? :D
mats: ouch,
TWTR falls 15%
mircea_popescu: actually
the forecasts are
that 2020 bw will be less
than 2015 was.
mircea_popescu: bandwidth alone is not really
that
type of change
tho. and it stopped going up also, esp in
the us.
jurov: if
that hits
the ceiling,too, maybe
then.
jurov: moore is not
the only game in
town. network bandwidth is still going up.
mircea_popescu: i am at
the forefront of people who noticed, and demand changes.
jurov: you come and ask for car
that damn works in
this situation
jurov: basically, it's like roads were replaced every few years (bevcause we can and it's cheap) so
that cars would need constatnt upgrades and modifications
mircea_popescu: i guess
this could be progress. it could also be normalization. whatever it is...
mircea_popescu: IF i am going
to allow
these retarded kids out of
their basements and into society,
they HAVE
TO spiff up
their act.
mircea_popescu: hm... i
think
the ddos might still be on.
that lolz dude left exactly 246 s after i voiced him.
jurov: so you want
to have progress, after all\
mircea_popescu: it has a decent chance at simply ending
the world, now.
mircea_popescu: it might have been ok for 50 years ago, when
the most damage
that it could do was someone losing his retarded
tripod poems
mircea_popescu: it is, if you wish, like if bitcoin were
to
take over and everyone depended on it in 2065, but
then for some reason people started moving back
to 0.5.3 codebase.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is
that we're regressing
to
the past (srsly,
the varnish adventure is so reminiscent of "dos utilities" scene it bleeds) but with much more powerful
tools and with much more societal dependency on
them.
jurov: i don't get you
then at all
mircea_popescu: i was ftr not proposing
this was a
thing at any point in
the past.
jurov: it§s easiest
to believe in
the past
that is now lost
assbot: Logged on 28-04-2015 17:16:36; mircea_popescu:
think about it. why
the fuck should
the code have
to know about
this. and if it does have
to know about
this, why aren't ALL
the code references affected by any of such a change cross-indexed somewhere ?
mircea_popescu: as opposed
to "well it mostly works" "you just have
to..." "hey it works on MY system" etc.
mircea_popescu: what you _have_ in point of fact ACTUALLY LOST is
the ability
to live in a world where
things actually work,
mircea_popescu: "
that his way of life is just great
the way it is, it is a pretty good sign
that you let him set
the agenda once he realized
that his way of life was under
threat. Since you have nothing
to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain
to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware
that you have been
taken for a ride before it
mircea_popescu: make
them miserable and hate
their lives. People are pretty good at detecting
that
this is a likely outcome of
thinking, and it
takes conscious effort
to brace yourself and get
through such experiences. Most people are not willing even
to /listen/
to arguments or information
that could
threaten
their comfortable view of
their own existence, much less
think about it, so when you cannot answer a C programmer's "arguments
mircea_popescu: The core problem is
that C programmers
think
they can get away with doing much less
than
the Common Lisp programmer causes
the computer
to do. But
this is actually wrong. Getting C programmers
to understand
that
they cause
the computer
to do less
than minimum is intractable.
They would not /use/ C if
they understood
this point, so if you actually cause
them
to understand it in
the course of a discussion, you will only
punkman: also, cab driver: "check out
the hottie over
there" *honks* "oh shit
that was my cousin. damn she lost a lot of weight"
☟︎ punkman: I had
to get some paperwork from
the police station
today. old lady
there looks at my ID, which is old and handwritten, and says "hey, I made
this ID back in
the day"
davout: so apparently
this neucoin
thing sold for 2.7kBTC worth of
their, ahem, "coin"
☟︎ davout: punkman: because he blogged about it and didn't keep it for himself, because of what he declared
to
the cops about making stuff
to block skype, replicate its functionality without
the backdoors
punkman: davout, how did
they figure
that intent
davout: basically
the guy is being hung because
the reverse-engineering wasn't made with
the intent of creating something interoperable with skype, which is permitted under french law
BingoBoingo just watched Disney produced "evil robot fiction" was surprised at
the parts
that weren't shitty
trinque: gabriel_laddel: I'm headed
towards bed; I'll read
this
tomorrow.
gabriel_laddel: ^ many
thanks
to stas for pointing me
to
that via his blog
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Couldn't a Perl OS do
that? Works for make baby?
BingoBoingo: <trinque> sure, big bottleneck
there still << Irony of ironies, bottleneck is
the part of
the bottle
that broke such
that poison exposure happened
gabriel_laddel: ific inquiry, but as a consequence of a comprehensible, expressive design
that empowers
the individual. "
gabriel_laddel: graphics routines are inadequate, I can fall back on an 'api' independent of man. Lessons, as a refinement of research, shall offer
the same capabilities. Networking (e.g., sharing
these programs or crafting interactions between
them) shall be
trivial. No single authority shall dictate what is an isn't appropriate
to publish.
This is not
to be enforced by social machinery which promises
to promote and cherish scient
gabriel_laddel: "I need
the ability
to publish a unit of research as an interactive program containing all information used
to draw my conclusions. It shall be entirely and
trivially modifiable, extensible, and if reproducing
the research is possible on
this machine, running
the program shall be a single click or procedure call away. WYSIWYG
tools shall be included and fashioned from
the precepts of geometry.
Thus, if

☟︎ BingoBoingo: trinque: Baudot is
the penultimate encoding
trinque: you want
to send me data directly in some more meaningful structure
trinque: this is what you're
talking about right?
trinque: it's going
to piss you off when I say we were attaching widgets
to
the various
tables of our ASTs
trinque: sure, big bottleneck
there still
trinque: well
then
that's something
true of any attempt
to communicate
gabriel_laddel: right now I can't draw you a 3D picture you can just open up, modify and send back
to me
trinque: I
think
the guy just means
talking in person it is much easier
to understand what's meant by
the other.
gabriel_laddel: The preceding discussion was largely myself and
trinque learning
the others vocabulary.
