mircea_popescu: (and there was some idiot sheila from down below years ago ; i recall lulzing in the logs as to how this wonder will drive rapist to a) probe and b) beat into a squirming, faceless mess any bitch dumb enough to go around with it)
mircea_popescu: btw, vafgina dentata is from freud not from john smith.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764256 << let's leave it at that ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm too lazy to dig up where mp says he uses old amds, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: note to journahos of the future : include a plain statement of the above fact in your opening salvo or else.
mircea_popescu: who's ahead and who;s behind in the great technological race of 2010s ?
mircea_popescu: now let's see here : "Meltdown breaks all security assumptions given by the CPU’s memory isolation capabilities." vs "So given that there is in fact no secure memory implementation no matter how much it would be useful if there was one, EuCrypt takes instead the honest and practical approach of making it clear that it uses plain memory and nothing else."
mircea_popescu: could have shifts!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that -- yes, can have, but cripled like so
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764246 << this is a very apt commentary on the value of 1bn orcs piled up together. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: so to have closure, i suppose http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763975 should read "80 cols plox what is this" ☝︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: can't even reform anything around here!
mircea_popescu: phf fine!
mircea_popescu: on both cvounts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.

mircea_popescu: is the conclusion of this standards board discussion that "fu mp, live with 80col comments, we're not gonna reflow shit for you" then ?
mircea_popescu: this is not even a bad argument. fixwidth speeds scan for code for sure.
mircea_popescu: hm.
mircea_popescu: are we even done ? ;/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unlike said contest, this snipped had real world impact!
mircea_popescu: only a coupla kb.

mircea_popescu will link here http://trilema.com/2017/how-the-beastforumcom-private-messaging-function-became-a-paid-user-only-item/#selection-83.0-83.18 because heh.
mircea_popescu: phf i've little problem with people writing code in whatever line lengths they want to. but comments of arbitrary cut are infuriating (though admittedly 80col not nearly so much as 50whatever)
mircea_popescu: but at issue here aere the comments ; and make no mistake about it -- since we're doing the whole literate thing this is very important.
mircea_popescu: heh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, this lispier way is much better.

mircea_popescu: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XJQ6d/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: ?
mircea_popescu: GetCenter(), boundingBox.GetSize().Norm() * 2);
mircea_popescu: GetNearbyMeshes(mesh->GetMovable()->GetSectors()->Get(0), oldpos + boundingBox.\
mircea_popescu: \t\t\t\t\tcsRef<iMeshWrapperIterator> objectIter = engine->\
mircea_popescu: so you want "\t\t\t\t\tcsRef<iMeshWrapperIterator> objectIter = engine->GetNearbyMeshes(mesh->GetMovable()->GetSectors()->Get(0), oldpos + boundingBox.GetCenter(), boundingBox.GetSize().Norm() * 2);" to be instead
mircea_popescu: i tell you if the shit was multiple lines per line i would just exudate my lungs through the skinpores on my back out of sheer fury.
mircea_popescu: special pleading city over here.
mircea_popescu: what if one dayu you have to read cpp videocard stuff ? what THEN ?
mircea_popescu: oh oh oh I SEE HOW IT IS
mircea_popescu: like, 40 line procedure calls and shit ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you seriously \ out oo-cpp gnarl to 80 ?
mircea_popescu: but i guess if emacs feels the sentence needs more random gibberish instilled who am i to not permit it.
mircea_popescu: me too. ONCE PER FUCKING PARAGRAPH.
mircea_popescu: why not also the interjection "you know ?" or i guess "mon"
mircea_popescu: i dunno, you want it to stuff \n in there for you.
mircea_popescu: phf yes.
mircea_popescu: while i watch mad max the future or whatever the fuck i'd do in this weird crapsack world
mircea_popescu: the day i want the machine to write text for me ima just buy all the girls strapons and they can fuck each other too
mircea_popescu: bs.
mircea_popescu: ah
mircea_popescu: it is, but i was curious re what he meant.
mircea_popescu: (+if my articles aren't plaintext what are they bonus)
mircea_popescu: phf who the fuck sez ?
mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, which 3 pages did you mean ? xach search returns like 50
mircea_popescu: (last line 661 to 669, so 8 ; from 13 to 8 the variation indeed is 160% so hah!
mircea_popescu: phf http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/trilema-spaces.png ?
mircea_popescu: (upon actual measurement, notrly, 1st 368 to 381 vs 2nd 186 to 197 vs 3rd 232 to 242 ; so 13, 11, 10 etc. )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/time-to-get-out-by-the-way/ << third paragraph, 1st line space is 160% of 2nd line
mircea_popescu: phf do i have to screenshot this ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764226 << either that or "either you produce a naked female employee on her knees right this second, or else your fucktarded shenanigans just cost you a 580% salary increase for being a bunch of repugnant scum" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: phf a 120 col line will contain a number of words distriburted around 23.7 ; this means your spaces being elastic works to some degree. i will hold up trilema as an example of this, would you say elastic spaces are not working for it ?
mircea_popescu: the rules for adding multiple xn together are more complex than straight addition, but not complex enough to manage a positive out of negatives.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the naggum quote above : a better statement would be to say that every problem comes with an iq functional which could be approximated as a (x-fiq)^3 + b(x-fiq) ; the a, b and fiq are parameters of the problem, the x is where the solver's iq goes. if his iq is lower than the fiq required by the problem, his "work" comes out negative.
mircea_popescu: this is like starting a new paragraph on double \n and also on double l.
mircea_popescu: phf but hyphens are fundamentally different from spaces. the two are not semantically equivalent.
mircea_popescu: "intelligence is only a labor-saving device. less intelligent people can in principle create just as elegant solutions, but it would normally take them more effort to get there." <<< ajhaha NO! FUCKING! WAY!
mircea_popescu: yeah, trilema not a very good field for the "oh, ima be vague" approach. it's called trilema because it has at least three of everything!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764210 << kinda unfortunate he disappeared yeah. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: !~google wgah'nagl fhtagn
mircea_popescu: i do not wish to see de-hyphenate or chumpa-tron split up.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764188 << why dehyphenate at all ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shocking.
mircea_popescu: !#s andy wingo
mircea_popescu: http://wingolog.org/archives/2017/09/05/a-new-interview-question#cd7ce15868f2195baa8586069393901a4b2e182e for the record.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764187 << yeah, like http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/privilege-linguists.jpg ☝︎
mircea_popescu: all these fucktards "being involved" in various topics through insistently discussing what they read in hustler. jacking off doesn't make you a beautician/car mechanic/architect/dentist/etcetera. it may make you blind, apparently, to the world around, but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker... NOBODY CARES. seriouyslty now. it makes exactly zero difference for any practical purpose "in the industry" whether you chain up all the women and sell them off to martians.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764186 << so i dutifully follow, and i duly end up on " I have a new interview question, and you can have it too: "The industry has a gender balance problem. Why is this?" [ed: see postscript]" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764183 << alan kay is actually not so greatly regarded here ; or at least by me. certainly not his later meta stuff. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what fucking better.
mircea_popescu: "human rights" hurr. nobody reading that thought "o hey, how great, old woman gets ground into the dirt". HOWEVER, the difference between sane person and moderntard is that they also didn't go "HEY, PIXIE DUST!!! MAKE ALL BETTER!!!"
mircea_popescu: ikr ?
