ben_vulpes goes
to bed, asciilifeform goes
to rebuild
the universe.
mircea_popescu: Ladies and gentlemen, seldom can it have been a greater pleasure and privilege
than it is for me now
to announce
that
the next observation gave me
the great pleasure and privilege of observing
that it is my great pleasure and privilege
to live in
the best possible world of all
the worlds
that are possible already.
mircea_popescu: so, for instance,
they are not allowed
to
take up residence in single occupant dwellings / family houses etc ?
mircea_popescu: hm... it occurs
to me... wouldn't it be a good idea if all progressives were required
to register
themselves with
the state ?
ben_vulpes: is drepper
the shitgnome or did drepper find
the
thing?
gribble: Bitstamp |
There are currently 3005.8877 bitcoins demanded at or over 216.9 USD, worth 671376.912891 USD in
total. | Data vintage: 0.1582 seconds
decimation: yeah I know you weren't, but I
thought it was an interesting question
decimation: after all, a program
that manages
to boot
the
target and run an infinite loop is a basic os
decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose
that if one really wants an os written in ada
that 'fits in head' - one should write it himself
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal
they have been
trying
to
trade for bitcoin with moderate success.
decimation: apparently
there are varying levels of posix support in actual flight systems
TheNewDeal: there's a company in
the us called "amagi metals" and for some reason I
thought
that rang a bell
danielpbarron: and it was silver, not gold; unless he had another
thing i'm not aware of
danielpbarron: heh i was just reading about
that; it's at
the start of
the public logs
TheNewDeal: offhand, does anyone remember
the name of usagi's gold company?
mircea_popescu: i wish
to know
these 100 people out of whom 50 died of .4% bac.
mircea_popescu: But legal driving limit is usually .08%. And 50% of
the
time, .4% is death, so
there's
that.
mircea_popescu: so when i drink a liter of 52% moonshine over a night my liver
takes out 50ml/hour while carefully keeping
total blood alcohol under 30 least i die ?
mircea_popescu: for
the sake of argument, 0.4% means 32 ml of alcohol in
the 8 liters of blood ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: you need like... i dunno, 5% or so
to fucking die of it.
mircea_popescu: dude where
the fuck do anglos pull
their data from. 0.4% BAC = LD50 ?!
decimation: the contrast between
the German soldiers, bronzed and clean-cut from a youth spent in
the sunshine on an adequate diet, and
the first British war prisoners, with
their hollow chests, round shoulders, pasty complexions and bad
teeth –
tragic examples of
the youth
that England had neglected so irresponsibly in
the years between
the wars."
☟︎ decimation: the 'forced exercise' idea reminds me of a passage in
the 'rise and fall of
the
third reich': "The young in
the
Third Reich were growing up
to have strong and healthy bodies, faith in
the future of
their country and in
themselves and a sense of fellowship and camaraderie
that shattered all class and economic and social barriers. I
thought of
that later, in
the May days of 1940, when along
the road between Aachen and Brussels one saw
☟︎ punkman: I was making a case for "sentence all members of parliament
to 30 years hard labor" yesterday at dinner, "but what of
the innocent ones"
ben_vulpes: wai wut? i
thought bezzling was a good
thing.
mircea_popescu: it's healthy,
too. most usians could immensely benefit from more exercise, especially if nude under
the nude sky.
decimation: for
thieves, embezzlers, etc it gives a good yardstick
BingoBoingo: <decimation> I would prefer 'torture'
to be 'hard labor, gulag style' << Quality punitive
torture can leave souveniers
decimation: but
that's difficult
to capture
through a window
decimation: I would prefer 'torture'
to be 'hard labor, gulag style'
mircea_popescu: torture people behind
the glass, force highschoolers
to visit yearly.
mircea_popescu: decimation i dunno if i descreibed it or not, but i
think so :
the prison zoo.
decimation: for
this reason
the us should bring back hangings and should
televise
them live
mircea_popescu: it's quite ridoinculous what sort of compartimentalised nonsense
they sprout. you'd flunk senior hs essays for
this
mircea_popescu: they fail
to consider
that punishing
the mentally retarded is a signal FOR EVERYONE
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which incidentally is
the missing point in
the supreme court discussion of punishment quoted as it happens earlier
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, of course, but
the student must learn from something
decimation: yeah, 'half a page of docs per line' is pretty much
the same as your 'what does
this line do?'
test
mod6: ok. no problem. just
trying
to get it down
to a spec
mod6: i
thought we didn't want
to use shared libs? only static libs *.a's
mod6: asciilifeform: ben_vulpes might have
the same problem with his, is
there something he should be specifically looking for in
the elf?
decimation: actually it would be interesting
to know exactly what hardware is used in modern avionics
mod6: is it appropriate
to do `make LMODE="static" LMODE2="static" -f makefile.unix bitcoind` instead?
decimation: asciilifeform:
there's also ARINC standard 653 if you want an RTOS along with your ada
mod6: asciilifeform: in your portotronic script,
the line `make STATIC=1 -f makefile.unix bitcoind` ends up doing "-Wl,-Bstatic ... -Wl,-Bdynamic" when actually executed because of
the bug in
the makefile.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah
there's much
to like in
this approach
TheNewDeal: ;;Later
tell
TomServo sorry I missed you last evening. Went out for some drinks and left my irc on. Will be back
thursday evening
