mike_c: right, but bids don't need to keep going up to incentivize writers
mike_c: i thought that a couple times, but then the bids kept going up.
thestringpuller: mike_c: hard to distinguish buyer frenzy from investors paying for content.
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 23:13:49; mike_c: insanity. qntra bids are over 0.0003? going to be the priciest share on mpex soon.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2015#1033766 o.O look at that. ☝︎
decimation: does that say 'bread'?
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2014 01:48:07; decimation: He remembered having seen several trucks like this today in various parts of Moscow. Taking out his notebook he wrote with his dark-red fountain pen: 'Now and again on the streets of Moscow you meet food delivery vans, clean, well-designed and hygienic. One must admit that the city's food supplies are admirably well organized.'"
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2014 01:48:06; decimation: "Buffeting its load of tightly packed bodies, the gaily painted orange and blue truck drove on through the streets, passed a railway station and stopped at a crossroads. There, halted by a traffic-light, stood the dark-red car belonging to the Moscow correspondent of the Paris newspaper LIBERATION, on his way to a hockey match at the Dynamo Stadium. On the side of the van the correspondent read the words
decimation: maybe we can be in the same 'meat van' as asciilifeform when we are being taking the the sharashka
asciilifeform: except that gasenwagen doesn't have 'gasenwagen' painted on. it has, e.g., 'kaiser kaffee'
thestringpuller: decimation: hmmm. sword axe time draws near.
decimation: <nubbins`> probably unrelated but there's been a comms van w/ gov plates parked down the road from me for like a week
asciilifeform: this is the other one
asciilifeform: decimation: nah that one comes with >1 round
decimation: re: cosmonaut's gun: I thought it was for besting wild bears if the capsule lands in the urals
asciilifeform would prefer to live with alligators
asciilifeform imagines one day roto-rooting toilet and pulling up pieces of suit, briefcase...
mircea_popescu: i dunno. ima have it looked into tomorro
mircea_popescu: well i lost a main router somehow too. supposedly was a power outage downtown
asciilifeform: 'once is an accident, twice is enemy action'
decimation: possibly due to anti-ddos animatronics
decimation: the otp url comes across, but the http interface is dead
mircea_popescu: am i the on;y one ?
mircea_popescu: oddly assbot otps timeout
decimation: assbot's http interface appears to be down
asciilifeform: but i cannot guarantee this.
asciilifeform: if i knew for a fact that the bug -only- triggers on 'sandisk' drives, it wouldn't be worth thinking about at all
asciilifeform: another data point - the 2.6.31.8 linux kernel originally shipped with 'pogo' had precisely the same behaviour
asciilifeform: (yes, the capacity read by both u-boot and bsd is garbage, though deterministic garbage)
asciilifeform: forgot to include the detail, in profound_retardation.txt, that the sandisk drive is a 60gb unit.
asciilifeform: it isn't unimportant in the least bit
asciilifeform: ^ i mean srsly, wtf am i supposed to do with that. the unprintable garbage is key to the message
asciilifeform: so that's not the issue
asciilifeform: jurov: your thing is very seriously unusable imho
asciilifeform: because that's retarded.
asciilifeform: fucktarded turdatron ate another message of mine
thestringpuller: trinque: lets have a LISP tutorial when I'm tripping instead of drunk ;)
trinque: just imagine everything's one of those, and there are no implicit orders of operation except up
thestringpuller: altho ruby seems to punish you for it
thestringpuller: i use procedural paradigm when using Python and Ruby tho...
thestringpuller: but the lispi-ness of it evades me for sure
thestringpuller: i also don't use emacs but when trying to learn, it really really really made me want toss my computer out a window
thestringpuller: i don't use VIM outside text editing so I don't know the capacicty to which it is customizable
thestringpuller: alright them is fighting words
ben_vulpes: granted, nothing that vim doesn't do (poorly)
ben_vulpes: that is the point of using emacs.
thestringpuller: oh so emacs does all the lifting as you said earlier
thestringpuller: i've onyl been able to really accomplish that in terminal
thestringpuller: i'm trying to figure out your workflow I guess.
thestringpuller: thestringpuller: like what OS, browser, text editor do you use on your local that you don't have to use a mouse to navigate?
thestringpuller: trinque: ah. the only client i've used is mirc, and as I just told ben_vulpes i hate mice.
trinque: thestringpuller: weechat's kind of butt, just less butt than other things I've used
ben_vulpes: do you take me for a menu-traverser?
ben_vulpes: i never take my hands off the keyboard.
thestringpuller: this is also why I hate IDE's that have "buttons"
ben_vulpes: cutting and pasting etc must fit within emacs text manipulation paradigms.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: i used to belive this but I don't like using mice. I find the use of a mouse kills my wrist.
ben_vulpes: but for other things, it is not.
ben_vulpes: it's good for the things for which it is good
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: re tmux etc like alf, i pretty much refuse to work in a terminal
trinque: where is the simple bouncer
trinque: right now I'm just weechatting in a tmux+mosh
ben_vulpes: x11 tunnel
trinque: it claims to be what I want
trinque: ben_vulpes: https://github.com/neersighted/nbnc << I might try this out
asciilifeform: as in, never having to hit an arrow key more than once to traverse a block of whitespace
ben_vulpes: all i really know is how to ask about what others do and run my own experiments.
asciilifeform: emacs is unbeatable on account of the customizations - not only of appearance (i've a different highlighting mode for every type of animal, and most are not the stock included ones) but mechanics - how do folks get along on other editors without 'hungry arrow keys', for example ?
ben_vulpes: i don't really know enough to laugh.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what typeface do you use?
cazalla: thestringpuller, i like this one better :P http://i.imgur.com/aFYebE1.gif
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: why not use a screen multiplexer? like tmux or screen?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i enjoy colours, good fonts, etc. and so will not use emacs in a term if there's any choice about it
asciilifeform opened today's mail, is leafing through 'ada 95 rationale' and it's a joy
ben_vulpes: the most obvious route to me at the time was to run emacs in a terminal on a remote host.
ben_vulpes: i like manipulating text in emacs, but wanted a persistent connection to b-a.
asciilifeform: (if this was in the log - link to log)
asciilifeform: why switched from that to the remote thing ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i presume the second item on this list was a build of traditional emacs for apple ?
ben_vulpes: followed by emacsclient crashing emacs --daemon every time the x11 frame disappeared
ben_vulpes: aquamacs -> railwaycat emacs port -> erc in a terminal on a remote host -> frustrations with tiling window managers in os x -> discovery of xmonad, ratpoison and friends -> x11 configuration -> stumpwm -> emacs on os x in x11 -> horrific bastard mode of "znc" on local machine with "znc" running on remote host -> emacs on remote host as bouncer displaying on a local x11 frame
asciilifeform: mostly trad emacs but with gui hooks for the os
asciilifeform: iirc the canonical emacs on apple is 'aquamacs'
ben_vulpes is baffled as to why guessing would be necessary
ben_vulpes: i've finally grown up a bit then i guess.
ben_vulpes: in a terminal.
ben_vulpes: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32423?project=1 << emacs over x11. am i the only one who does this?

ascii_field: pete_dushenski: but keep in mind that data centre doesn't sell pipe alone
pete_dushenski: ascii_field just so i can have a ballpark feel for the numbers, let's say dc
pete_dushenski: "thank you for carrying out our policy, here's the bill"
pete_dushenski: "Morgan Stanley to Pay $2.6 Billion to Settle Mortgage Cases" << more usg tax collection
pete_dushenski: in theory-land ?
pete_dushenski: where could such a thing even exist ?
pete_dushenski: now, we wait and see if he turns that into action.
assbot: Hey /halophoenix, tip of the cap for mentioning GPG in your list of 'best file encryption tools'. Consider this an invite to bitcoin-assets.
pete_dushenski: mr. henry (lifehacker author) is apparently flattered at the b-a invite: https://twitter.com/halophoenix/status/570723112498679808
