asciilifeform: despite the fact that, e.g., 'Armoredcoin is a set of instructions based on the airgap gold standard described by the man himself. Mr. Popescu further delineates boundries separating actual security from security theater'

asciilifeform: soo RagnarDanneskjol , how come you did not come and offer any of us to buy your Team Armoredcoin is proud to release the brave, new AC1 Control Kit 'Woodchipper' - the first auditable production Bitcoin control system available to the public' item ?

asciilifeform: ftr i do hope it can be made to work on folx who never read frege.

asciilifeform: but i can see where mircea_popescu is coming from.

asciilifeform: at least for civilian

asciilifeform: it's arithmetic, lel, not inquiry-into-nature-of-integer

asciilifeform: in that sense yea. ffa however is not frege, it is moar al-kwarizmus

asciilifeform: i'd expect , they were mostly interested in dueling and cards

asciilifeform: ( they dun teach longdiv till 3rd here )

asciilifeform: american, even

asciilifeform: it uses... what, 3rd grade maffs

asciilifeform: not in ffa either, lol

asciilifeform: it was quite decent on adlib

asciilifeform: i had 'adlib' by the time i got copy of civ

asciilifeform: lol pcspeakr civ

asciilifeform realizes that he can, more or less, play back whole civ1 soundtrack in his head

asciilifeform: i never did have a roland tho

asciilifeform: i liked the 'ru' ( blatant 'дубинушка' ) intro. and ditto

asciilifeform: sounds like roland

asciilifeform: then thought 'wtf am i doing, wai'

asciilifeform: i admit, i was tempted, last night, to actually debug the crash

asciilifeform: civ1 for me was ~the~ civ.

asciilifeform: not even on my shit 'cyrix' 40

asciilifeform: i never saw...

asciilifeform: nowai

asciilifeform: hm?

asciilifeform: apparently not ~quite~ 'ibmcompat'

asciilifeform: speaking of which, i tried to civ1 on that hp800 box, and it dies with div0 during the intro ( drops to shell, stays in 320*200 tho, and... music -- keeps playing!? somehow! )

asciilifeform: at 19 imho is on the border

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pointism << depending on age -- curable

asciilifeform: linked item is notable however because not a covox : it emulates the isa sb, which had a microcontroller, but ~without~ one, with raw ttl fsm

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: there are still such things as welders, sailors, machinists, surgeons, etc

asciilifeform: dunno, honest trades ?

asciilifeform: speaking of optics , asciilifeform found today that chinese sell a qrcode-reader thing, the size of a matchbox, with rs232 output (i.e. self-contained, needs no softwarism) , eats 5v , ~20bux

asciilifeform: dafuq is 'stripe'

asciilifeform: phf: 2nd category is no guarantee of megabux , either. ( but everybody, i'd hope, knew this. )

asciilifeform: phf: isn't classical vdiff headed for retirement anyway

asciilifeform: ( i dun disagree with phf's decision, as such. but must point out. )

asciilifeform: posix is a dead dream, deader than lispm.

asciilifeform: betcha there's incompatible sh out there.
