t make hard commitments re: time this week or next; however I don'
t mind taking a look at phuctor's db use at all.
mircea_popescu: or to quote the webexperts in derpxertises, "The elephant in the room is that GCC and emacs aren'
t competing against proprietary compilers so much as they are against LLVM and clang.

assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 03:55:05; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he still has a point. a) we're careening dangerously towards -dev levels and b) people can'
t fucking follow wtf is on that list.
mats: it is attached, my keyboard isn'
t setup: the three accents are associated with three of the four tones in pinyin
mircea_popescu: mike_c incidentally the reason i won'
t recite a todo list for v (and deleted alf's proposed list) is specifically because we don'

t find someone older about 13 or so to write their writings.
mircea_popescu: the fact that most of the world agrees girls can marry once they can walk, that doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: don'
