Vexual: Dunno. Makes me
think
that
things McAfee says aren't nessisarily because of bath salts
BingoBoingo: Vexual:
The Buggering bu Internal Affairs you say?
Vexual: Theyre busy investigating all
the unwarranted bugging by
the internal affairs of
the next commissioner now. Printers prolly gone
Vexual: Reminds me of some aussie cops spending 10k on a printer and 9bux on a roll pf cornstarch
to show how a liberator will
take your fingers orf
ben_vulpes: Whenever it came
time for his daily bowl of soup he would look around for
the nearest "girl" and ask if she would fetch it
to him. It did not matter if she was
the cook, an engineer, or
the president of
the company. I once asked a female engineer who had just been a victim of
this if it bothered her. "Yes, it really annoys me," she said. "On
the other hand, he is
the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics
to me as if I could
ben_vulpes: wolfram worked with feynman at
Thinking Machines?!
ben_vulpes recompiles on local vm with actual beef
to it.
ben_vulpes: aside from having
the
thing actually be programmable, but
that's apparently a nonstarter in our world.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
the only pills i'm aware of are pouring capital into refining
the interface and
training
the intended customers.
ben_vulpes: i'd no idea
that compiling a static bitcoind would
take quite so much memory.
then again, it's loading all of boost and dbb and openssl - does all of
the above need
to reside in memory at
the same
time?
ben_vulpes: (subject of
the portatron: "g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus) ")
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: and did you spend a similar amount of
time attempting
to 'work'
the same way in 'the gimp'?
decimation: there's another angle
to
the 'open source cad'
thing: autocad refuses
to release
the spec for
their full-feature 'save' files
decimation: yeah
that's exactly what I
thought when I opened it
ben_vulpes: oh jesus
this is going
to be like gimp isn't it
decimation: I
think I used it a little while, it mostly works
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I
think
the best explanation for 'why hypercard had
to die' is
that apple discovered
that you could sell software
to chumps at huge profit, whereas actually competing on hardware is a low-margin miserable business
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'trololol' < i suppose
that part sheets, dimensional
tolerancing and what have you are part of my base assumptions for part fab.
ben_vulpes: one of
the
things
that gently nudged me into my current slavery
ben_vulpes: the best part about labview is how once a person builds a reasonably complex
thing in it
they and only
they can really understand where all
the pipes go and where all
the data is and how control moves around
decimation: including one 'have you
tried labview' lol
decimation: except
they cost $, are not reliable, and are less useful
than hypercard was
decimation: yeah
that makes sense. as I recall as a youth in school, it was used as kind of a proto-powerpoint
decimation: Because
there's very little I can imagine labview can do
that couldn't be replaced with a few hundred lines of "c" and
the labview driver library
decimation: really? why bother with
the layers of
turdware?
decimation: I find his idea
that someone actually uses labview for something other
than
to waste
the
taxpayers'
time & money amusing
decimation: asciilifeform: actually in
that scott locklin comment
thread he brings up labview, which I'm sure you are familiar with
decimation: asciilifeform: what software would you recommend
to create an easily purchased bracket from inappropriate materials?
decimation: asciilifeform: made a comment on
that post
ben_vulpes: "does it fit" << doubly so in
the context of assemblies.
ben_vulpes: 6-axis doolie
to move
the object around in space; select faces and planes on which
to draw shapes and sweep/extrude
them
through space.
ben_vulpes: decimation: it's actually very fast and intuitive once you've learned
the interfaces.
decimation: well,
there's certainly a 'does it fit' aspect
that is visual
decimation: I mean
that
the brain's language 'co-processor' (as ascii desribed it) can be used
ben_vulpes: it's one of
those few interfacing problems
that i don't really
think is suited
to a
textual abstraction.
ben_vulpes: and in fact
that is how good part design should be done.
ben_vulpes: decimation:
they both support defining parts parametrically.
decimation: ben_vulpes: do either of
those systems accept 'scripting' inputs, such
that you could describe
the parts with a
textual interface?
ben_vulpes: that you gotta check against single dimension approximations
to make sure it's not haring off into impossiblespace
decimation: yeah my understanding is
that solidworks is kind of
the 3d hill and autocad is king of
the 2d hill
ben_vulpes: last
time i checked
the answer
to "assemblies?" was "lolwut" and i stopped paying attention.
ben_vulpes: it has been a few years since i looked at
the "open" cadcam "solutions".
ben_vulpes: although
the notion
that you can design any 3d part of any utility without inventor or solidworks is pretty lulzy
decimation: so you gotta wonder how long it
took
the guy
to dick around with his winblows cad software
to create a bracket
decimation: will repay itself
though
the continuous printing of
thingies."
decimation: lol "An owner of a 3D printer recently
told me
that "having one really exposes
the impotence of… not having one. For instance, I needed
this little
thingie
to hold a shelf.
Took 30 minutes
to design and print. And where would I get it otherwise?!"
The answer, of course, is "at a nearby store" where
they have a box full of
these
thingies at about 20 cents apiece. Of course, in a couple
thousand years, his investment in
the 3D printer
decimation: where's my farmville subsidies? has congress passed
the farmville bill yet?
decimation: lol asciilifeform >"If
this strikes you as absurd, does it strike you as even more absurd
that people claim something
to be a problem when its "solution" is as obvious as it is ridiculous? (Or is it really
that ridiculous? Farm subsidies exist. Why not FarmVille subsidies?)"
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> where'd ya get
the O2 O3 combo << shlomiel moment
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: CXXFLAGS=-O2 -std=c++03 -> CXXFLAGS=-O2 -O3 << is
this braindamage of my own design?
decimation: ^
this might actually be qntra worthy if someone puts
the right spin on it
trinque: anyone have a high bandwidth node I can give
to deedbot
to speed his ass up?
decimation: asciilifeform: does
the same company sell
the sought-after
toilet/kitchen sink combo?
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2015 02:25:58; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: realize
that
the obscene memhunger is 99+% bastard blocks
trinque: and how does it need anything but
the
top of
the blockchain
trinque watches atop -d... what
the hell is btcd reading at a sustained 4mb/sec
trinque: ben_vulpes: dual boot
the gentoos
