mircea_popescu: "so what if make sucks, not like i have
the responsibility
to find and support an improvement. i just
type here."
mircea_popescu: decimation no. jwzery.
this attitude whereby one's excused from political involvement.
decimation: it's not like it 'fits into
the cpu' like C does
decimation: asciilifeform: if make is so
terrible, why is it ubiquitous?
mod6: yeah, makefiles are
touchy
mod6: yup, it just simply utilizes
the makefile. but
this way a person only has
to run `auto.sh`
mod6: what's changed? 1) added some checks
to see if boost,bdb,openssl are already built, if so, skip re-downloading & building 2) added a 'clean' command line parameter so you don't have
to do
this manually
mod6: so i made some additional changes
to
the modified pogo script. anyone wanna help me
test quick? I
tested it myself, but it'd be cool if someone else can verify.
mircea_popescu: lawl.
this guy misread so much of recent history i'm giving up on reading it.
mircea_popescu: above were being made and enforced with no government oversight. So
the Government convened some hearings.
The unanimous consensus, even by Ralph Nader, was
that attempting
to regulate
this process was an invitation
to chaos. "
mircea_popescu: ey usually end up being workable. After
two decades of fumbling, we have settled on a de facto standard for computer operating systems. It has imperfections - some serious - but it generally works. Imagine being saddled with a computer architecture defined by some central planning committee in 1983. At about
that
time, someone in
the U.S. Government realized with horror
that all
the standardization agreements mentioned
mircea_popescu: "In Western democracies, even in
the U.S. where
the hostility
to regulation is greatest,
there is a vast amount of central decision-making, but day
to day decisions are left
to market forces. A lot of
the regulation - everything from bolt
threads
to
type fonts - is carried out by
tens of
thousands of standardization agreements worked out by
the industries involved.
The solutions
that arise aren't always optimal, but
th
mircea_popescu: time for bed, and in
the early morning a very morose londoner sat with his breakfast.
mircea_popescu: so one
time when a horse neighed, he got all scared. but
the farmer
told him
to relax, horse just does
that, it's called neighing and it never killed anyone.
mircea_popescu: which was impressive
to him, because a)
they had food and b) good living conditions (as compared
to shitlondon of
the
time)
mircea_popescu: the story is,
that a london redditard (poor kid from periphery) visited some peasant family once
mircea_popescu: one's categorical symbolization,
the other's a kenning.
mircea_popescu: anyway : "the sea" is
the hellespont (which is what xerxes ordered flogged) in
the same way hron (whale's) rade (road) is
the sea.
mircea_popescu: (i'll help by pointing out
that alf's device in discussing xerxes is structurally similar but stylistically very indicative of
the changes in society since
then)
decimation: english arose because some retarded vikings living in
the netherlands couldn't speak german
mircea_popescu: heck, folks still speak greek. and it's certainly more mutually intelligible with classical greek
than current english with high english.
decimation: plus
the history of
the french revolution is still shrouded by
those who have a stake in its outcome
decimation: yeah, but
the french revolution is a clean presentation of
the modern 'revolutionary intellectual' and
the consequences if he gains power
mircea_popescu: look into
the abomination of "courtly love"
to see 1100ad shitgnomism en fleur.
decimation: mircea_popescu: of course
the french philosophes pretty much founded
the 'revolutionary intellectual' archetype
mircea_popescu: decimation
this is
the so called stupid wife paradox. it goes like
this : when she's young she
thumbs her nose at submission, because hey, she's not "that kind of girl". so she finds a husband instead, spends
two-three decades discovering
that it's a rotten deal,
then gets
to live with
teh regret.
mircea_popescu: dude, la revolucion is so fucking banal. always
the same moves.
decimation: reminds me of
that
tlp piece about hating
the system so much you want it
to like you
decimation: ^ author of
the above was in army, had a son in
the army, son died in iraq
decimation: re:
the unmitigated contempt california holds for... well, basically, you. < yes,
this is noted. every day reveals a bit more of its
true self, if only in its fantasies
mircea_popescu: kinda goes a long way
to show
the unmitigated contempt california holds for... well, basically, you.

mircea_popescu: nttawwt, but don't imagine slaves come

them into

to use in life - bam.
