thestringpuller: ah. Well he honestly thinks GPG contracts are failures because they are too hard to use...which is like retard believing he is not retarded.
mats: turns out hes as retarded on a blog as he is on irc and twitter
mats: i wanted to see if he had anything useful to say in a long form medium
thestringpuller: mats: why did you submit yourself to that punishment?
mats: i spent the last ten mins reading BlueMeanie4's blog
ascii_field: boosts ego to the point of making any cooperation hard << wat
ben_vulpes: "No Thinking Required!"™
thestringpuller: i know the script kiddies love it, but probably same reason they defend node.js
thestringpuller: the rails generate command is abused a bit too much
mike_c: agreed. i think rails has too much black magic
thestringpuller: mike_c: yes. but rails took this overboard imo.
mike_c: turbogears2 looks good too.. i have some vague memory of not liking sql alchemy for some reason, but that was awhile ago and i can't remember why.
mike_c: or for webdevs that don't want to rebuild every wheel
thestringpuller: django is good for marketing teams who need to deploy content fast and don't have IT
jurov: my impression of list is that it boosts ego to the point of making any cooperation hard
ben_vulpes: (oh, and those "experts" in rails/django/yii/whatever tend to swallow wholesale whatever braindamage comes out of the "community")
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: the best webdev lanuage is PHP.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: there you go with that lisp nonsense again!
ben_vulpes back to the mines
ben_vulpes: i'm always cautious about that line.
mike_c: or, there's something about those that choose lisp..
ben_vulpes: there's something about working in lisp that seems to reduce the speed at which entropy chews apart a webdev project.
mike_c: ok, but i'm not going to judge by how easy it is to un-fuck a particular framework done poorly.
ben_vulpes: (most wordprexen are cobbled together from plugins - not terrifically difficult to reason about)
ben_vulpes: miserable django shites made by novices rapidly become very expensive to reason about.
jurov: ben_vulpes: so everything sucks because idiots can use it to hang themselves?
mike_c: idk. noobs will make sites. and their wordpress blogs will be used in ddos reflection attacks. what can you do.
ben_vulpes: mike_c: keep in mind i'm approaching this from an empirical perspective.
ben_vulpes: but the surface area over which they can make mistakes is vastly limited.
mike_c: so you are just offended by the offering of something between cojure/ring and wordpress.
jurov: rdbms are easier that that
ben_vulpes: the novice's desire to not learn how relational databases work and how to leverage their strengths is damaging to both themselves and anyone downhill of them.
ben_vulpes: while again it can be used well by people who can use it well (intentional tautology)
ben_vulpes: oh and let's not get into the ORM.
ben_vulpes: mike_c: ever touched a clojure ring app?
jurov: oh, that. http is notable for its leaky effects into all higher layers
ben_vulpes: and in their experiments with object oriented programming create these insane class hierarchies that are impossible to fit into human working memory.
mike_c: and the alternative is they build from a microframework and fuck up even more?
jurov: and all other too
ben_vulpes: while they can all be used well by people who know what they're doing, most people using them categorically do not.
jurov: fuck everythign that moves.
ben_vulpes: fuck django, fuck rails, and probably fuck turbogears too.
jurov: pity more people don't use turbogears2. i have found it quite usable, with documentation uptodate and keeps improving
mats: a buddy of mine uses it only the daily. moans constantly.
mike_c: what's wrong with django? i bit bloated, but there's a lot of good code in there.
mats: django. god help the one that accepts the job.
mike_c: ;;later tell mthreat is it an index option for periods to break words?
mike_c: word breaking is different from stemming. that feels.. wrong. mthreat is it normal for periods to not break words?
ascii_field: afaik nobody is forced to program in it
mike_c: not according to search
mircea_popescu: i think it was in the logs from last time we did this
mike_c: you lost me there.
mike_c: and just because this should be immortalized in the logs: http://phpsadness.com/
PeterL: pete_dushenski:weird thing is: bablogs.btcscoop.com seems to have no problem with it << I forgot I had to do a funny trick with codecs to get that to work, lets see if scoopbot works now?
kakobrekla: adont thank me
kakobrekla: hehe, is true; http://mpex.co/?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
kakobrekla: nah, that was mpex
ascii_field: kakobrekla: how do -you- normally answer letters from people offering to 'fix everything that's wrong' ?
kakobrekla: a friend replied telling them he can fix everything that is wrong, but they dont want that.
cazalla: shame you can't todd gack someone on reddit with a few thousand satoshi
cazalla: mircea_popescu: todd gack mysteriously missing. <<< yeah, what sort of name is that anyway?
ascii_field: electronic equivalent of toilet tank cocaine
mircea_popescu: who cares that pedo today ==== faggot 1965. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the gays got their way with marriage prior to the freeze, but that's it. pedos aren't getting theirs. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but yes, the "sexual disorder" of the 90s is definitely coming to a close. it's too expensive, and to most dickheads undesirable anyway.
mircea_popescu: cunts shackled and sad on the internet their forecunts had fought to conquer ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: not banned. permitted in 'viewable only to registered' sites.
mircea_popescu: no, it's just provincialism, the same idiotic middle age women that run apple now run google.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field how's blogger.com banning porn further that ?
ascii_field: never know who might have to be 'robert borked' in the future.
ascii_field: porn - a-ok in usa; viewing porn without usg permanent record of the act - nope
assbot: Noname Jane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1zdrKzl )
cazalla: BingoBoingo: Bad google http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-bans-explicit-adult-content-from-blogger-blogs/ <<< the amusing part of this is that the author of that article sued a porn actor who used the same name as the author, poor girl had to get a new name
mircea_popescu: i didn't say that eh.
ascii_field: (i do have one of these, http://i.imgur.com/EuoNzHn.jpg - ~18 usd - but it suffers from lack of sata, 32M(ram) 8M(rom), and a wifi chip that cannot be disabled - built into cpu and embedded antenna)
ascii_field: (expect mircea_popescu to retort 'throw the damn thing out' but i'll note that they aren't exactly in limitless supply - nor do we yet know of an alternate box that is)
ascii_field: nubbins`: it lets you debug boot, and see kernel output prior to nic init
danielpbarron: i'll try to document what i did
nubbins`: is the serial mod necessary or can i just ssh to the silly thing?
ascii_field: all the rest of you with 'pogos', i highly recommend taking the time to do this mod
ascii_field: (marvell will slurp up a boot image via 'xmodem' though tty if you feed it)
ascii_field: it is even theoretically possible to restore it if nuked 'uboot' as well
ascii_field: also note that it will overheat if run at length w/out heatsink
ascii_field: if you've the time
ascii_field: failing this, boot pogo into arch and echo "something" > /dev/ttyS0
ascii_field: then - without unplugging the usb - power cycle the pogo
ascii_field: try reversing rx and tx
ascii_field: also make sure your dongle is set to 115200 baud
ascii_field: danielpbarron: the stock uboot iirc did spew something
danielpbarron: do i need to modify uboot to make it send through usb?
mircea_popescu: they aren't thinking per se anymore than an ashtray is a party.
ascii_field: quite possibly a species only ever gets one or two of them
mircea_popescu: books are the defecation product of thinking.
mircea_popescu: tell me, if i burn the walmart in connecticut tomorrow, has capitalism had a setback ?
danielpbarron: ok well i got the usb thing to show up in a live ubuntu, but nothing gets sent from pogo
mircea_popescu: ascii_field but you take an eerily supermarket view of this setback thing.
assbot: If you are more practically inclined, and having understood, accepted and come to terms with your fundamental human inferiority as it flows from your poverty, some solutions to your predicament of "I wish to buy myself a basket" have already been discussed. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1zdoOma )
ascii_field: one (often overhyped but afaik factual) example of a total loss that is later 'un-lost' is archimedes having had fluxions
ascii_field: in some cases ( mircea_popescu of all people ought to know ) partial copy of something survives
mircea_popescu: so then how's it a setback ?
