mircea_popescu: how come the hemp industry didn'
t band together to destroy rayon ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: who smoked pot when ro was 'unaligned' ? << literally nobody. cops had no fucking idea what it smelled like, even. i don'
t mean "some". i mean you couldn'
t find a beat cop that did.
trinque: mircea_popescu: doesn'
t seem to me that it is
trinque: I don'
t really see much difference between that one and caffeine
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn'
t sell cocaine either, at any rate not differently freom how it's done now, at which point you'd saysomething liek "mp is nao usg" and i'd hit you in the head with a six kg single crystal metaphetamine hammer.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 0.7-ish codebase radically different from 0.5-ish. It isn'
t until 0.8's pretend BDB abandonment that things get alien
phf: asciilifeform: your original analysis was that std::array (or was it boost) failed to release memory when prompted. seems like can either figure out how to prompt it harder, or substitute a structure. my other guess is that refs to same transactions are kept elsewhere, so are not actually release on clear, i haven'
t investigated that option yet though.

t - if a baby goat finds the leak the leak's just as found as if jesus had found it.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the high schoolers usually buy per joint cause they don'
t know any better

☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf this is a non-competence blocking issue. it doesn'
t matter how competent or credentialed you are,code in question will be reviewed anyway.
phf: asciilifeform: now all i need is for somebody to take mapTransactions / CTransaction from me... << i started investigating the issue a while ago, but dropped it since wasn'
t sure if it was the highest priority. i've been traveling, but i'll get back to it. i don'
t see any reason it can'
t be resolved. i'm not claiming territory, but unless someone more compotent decides to take over you can consider me
BingoBoingo: What if on my machine F5 doesn'
t mean "reload" but instead "re-load"
danielpbarron: that steampunk thing doesn'
t look like what I have played. To me, "tower defence" means building a maze of turrets to control the flow of progressively beefier monsters, the goal being to kill them all before the get through
mircea_popescu: i also want soul hunter thing as a minigame, and a genetics thing, and a few others. the minigame portion of eulora is gonna be pretty spiffy, really. huge gameplay thing, but i don'
t really see it happening before 2017..
mircea_popescu: it's "colonies where the indigents weren'
t massacred". mexico, egypt, you name it.
mircea_popescu: "i didn'

assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 19:52:02; mircea_popescu: anyway. the advantage of anon & disappeared as opposed to "going to every conference that serves pasta" is that you don'
t have to face the "i fucking expected better of you" reproach.
mod6: ah, no this thing doesn'
t prompt at all. just command line flags. works a lot like your implementation. no caching, etc.
mod6: sweet, V code is basically complete. one remaining test left to write surrouding 'press' (shouldn'
t take long), then just documentation to write about the thing.
mircea_popescu: and under the overheard in my house heading, "would you like to taste my pee ?" "sure. but... didn'
t you just have asparagus ?" "aha" "that's supposed to be the #1 pee ruiner." "oh man, i can actually taste the asparagus wow!" "is it strong ?" "it's pretty strong yeah".
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> say Naphex, wouldn'
t you want to run a server for s.nsa too ? << ?
mircea_popescu: say Naphex, wouldn'

jurov: if they aren'

mircea_popescu: anyway. the advantage of anon & disappeared as opposed to "going to every conference that serves pasta" is that you don'

☟︎ ascii_field: '"He is a recipient of the Free Software Award from the Free Software Foundation for his work on Secure Boot, UEFI, and the Linux kernel". Ah! All the bits that I *don'
t* want in the kernel. Did he work on systemd too?'
mircea_popescu: but notwithstandingtheir hopes and aspirations to "build businesses", you can'
t make money renting out the space inside your nose.
mircea_popescu: i might care what i rated x, or what you rated x. but the meaning of these ratings to a third party we don'
t know is necessarily 0.
punkman: I don'
t think there's enough to go around these days
punkman: maybe they can'
t import enough cork
mircea_popescu: not that it's not readily believable, not that there aren'
t excellent reasons why it's not in the usg agitprop.
mircea_popescu: just so customers don'
t look at you while you amble around with your two left legs transplanted for arms ?
mircea_popescu: wouldn'
t you think, if you decide in your late 40s to switch gears and open a wanna-be wine shop, that you pick up the fucking book of how to pack, do exercises in your garage, something ?
mircea_popescu: i bought two champagne flutes of actual genuine bohemian glass (i tested, couldn'
t believe either)
mircea_popescu: moving on : he can'
t fucking pack for the life of him.
mircea_popescu: then, the guy can'
t work his fucking machine, takes him longer to input my economic activity into his fucking compuer than it took me to engage in it.
mircea_popescu: davout they don;'
t have much roquefort here, unfortunately.
mircea_popescu: mike_c he didn'
t know you can rate in pm, most likely.
mike_c: ;;later tell pete_dushenski I don'
t see a discrepancy. It updates nightly with the wot database dumps. So probably he changed the rating and btcalpha hadn'
t picked up the change yet.
mircea_popescu: back then it wasn'
t even fucking expensive, iirc it cost ~25 cents per
mircea_popescu: it may not be the last web pressed fiction offering in the us, but it won'
t be far ahead of the last i dun think
mircea_popescu: a) the printer can'
t use latex ; b) self published generally means, PoD and a sharky editor that fleeces the hopeful. this was actually printed on web press, so in this sense everything else printed hence is a lot more "self published" than asylum.
mircea_popescu: either that or they didn'
t actually change it until the 3rd.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's kinda what was wtfing me, what, i don'
t paste enough of inbound spam in here or wtf is their problem.
mircea_popescu: not everything that isn'
t specced but could be specced should be. that's how idiocy gets in.
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 09:29:18; mircea_popescu: i don'
t want anything specific. but i will be keeping track of a large ammount of tiny indicators, because anything else results in exam-taking-training.
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 01:12:45; asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu wrote something re: how he wants wot as a very fluid and informal animal that can'
t be 'optimized against'
gabriel_laddel: "Grigori Perelman's theorem: There is no offer you can'
t refuse."
BingoBoingo: These people weren'
t exactly of the "scaled" class
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t know me, i don'
t see why you have any right or any permission to use my ratings of someone else.
mircea_popescu: somehow i suspek it ain'
t getting published, but anyway.
ben_vulpes: which raises a problem i spotted a while back and didn'
t raise, which is that ratings are not independently verifiable.
pete_dushenski: 'oh, we told the regulators that you were circumcized and they found out that you actually weren'
t. please visit your nearest stealership so we can right this terrible wrong.'
pete_dushenski: or the 'king tut's centre for kids who can'
t read good'
mircea_popescu: and strangly there wasn'
t a reddit icrapple dedicated to mocking the funbux.
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 06:05:19; mircea_popescu: anyway, the ever more feverish pitch of desperation is lulzy. "sell bitcoin to me". dude... why the fuck would i be selling anything to you ? fuck you, your approval is not required, your desires don'
t matter, you're not being persuaded here. you're being raped. nobody gives a shit about your consent, let alone excitement to use bitcoin. you'll use it to survive, and marginally at that.
diana_coman: whether it's that thread or the other one starts with, doesn'
t make a huge diff
diana_coman: so it doesn'
t really matter if it hid 1 of 6 - if it is any good, it will be referenced anyway
diana_coman: assuming the guy doesn'
t have his own page updated for some reason
mircea_popescu: the general population may be happy to pop sugar pills, but that doesn'
t make them medicine, right ?
PeterL: but the general population is ignorant and does not care to alleviate their ignorance, so google works for them. If they can'
t find it on google, it doesn'
t exist
mircea_popescu: in short, google may perhaps maintain the illusion of utility for as long as the needs are superficial and stay that way.but if you're mostly looking for specific stuff and tend to go beyond the surface of things, it doesn'
t actually do anything whatever.
mircea_popescu: not useful is like untrustworthy. doesn'
t mean "absolutely and in all cases zero use". it just means unreliable enough to be 0.
mircea_popescu: but see, the only reason i could conceivably be interested in is because a woman made them and i liked. then i ask her, such as my mom, or the chick in the cofee shop, or whoever. i don'
t think i ever wanted to make a random item.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think i've used style templates in the past twenty years. conceivably this may be a difference of style.
mircea_popescu: if it's a complex enough graph it really doesn'
t matter where you start.
PeterL: you don'
t get information from google, you just use google to get to the places with the info
mircea_popescu: if i want to find out what X said i don'
t go to ask google, i go ask x. etc.
mircea_popescu: and if you don'
t believe it anyway, then why bother with the box ?
