diana_coman: ah, I was scratching head re golden veal, lol;
that'd be
the steak basically
mircea_popescu: apparently it's called
the golden calf, in english. pity, seems a wasted opportunity.
diana_coman: hm, I don't yet see it
that way but it'll become clear one way or another quite quickly
mircea_popescu: "nothing can ever be
truly interesting" or w/e formulation.
mircea_popescu: i doubt
the problem's etiquette. seems
to me much deeper issue
than
that, civillian pantsuit expects anything can be
taken in "at his own rate" because his personal golden veal promised him
there will never be such a
thing as
the calling in
this world.
mircea_popescu: and more generally, if it's a "oh, #trilema is item #608 on my list of 1850 vaguely maybe interesting items i found on
the internet, among which i read
to pass
the
time waiting for
the bus or w/e" sorta affair forget about it altogether,
there's 0 interest in supporting
that kinda imbecility/pluralism/skepticism.

mircea_popescu: !Q later
tell juliankunkel would you kindly spare us
the join/part spamming ? can read
the weblogs just fine, no need
to be connected with nothing
to say.

amberglint: N-World was relatively popular among 90s game developers, used in
the development of Super Mario 64 and Final Fantasy VII which are probably
the most popular console games of
their
time
amberglint: the product was renamed
twice, first
to N-World,
then
to Mirai

to
tie
this into prev
thread -- seems as if
the bolix 3d engine, 1 of
the 1st
to be sold as such, still exists as commercial product, owned by some jp firm. naturally cppized and renamed. )
lobbesbot: amberglint: Sent 2 weeks, 1 day, 6 hours, and 7 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> your last line
ties into
the real estate
thread. Easier
to buy
things
than make
things or have
them made

that looks 2001-terrible
mircea_popescu: " As a result, we have decided
to
turn off
the bulletin board while we search for a better product (hopefully one
that will allow us
to migrate our previous content). Just
to let everyone know, we have been working quite busily over
the past couple months, and will make announcements of any new product availability as soon as it/they become(s) available! "
mircea_popescu: "Bulletin Board As you may have discovered, our bulletin board has recently been overrun by garbage posts, contributing in part
to
the crash of
the Mirai forum. "
mircea_popescu: (let's
take a moment for a libration in
thanking
the gods satoshi didn't fucking writer bitcoin in unity)
mircea_popescu: that hydro plant is NEVER going anywhere. if
there's 5000 people left
total, it'll still run.
mircea_popescu: which is my point here. you're comparing a hydro plant built on rhine cca 1880 with a franchised "fries on pizza!" extruded plastic
truck
mircea_popescu: eh, qt will outlive nokia. like
those old hydro plants in europe, went
through 20+ "owners"
that went bankrupt.
mircea_popescu: unity is
three dorks and a shoe string. not working, never will work, won't be here in another few years.
mircea_popescu: yes, but qt is very fucking different from
this unity
thing.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the question might be a little like "why are
they all in flip flops,
terrible design, utterly inconvenient, how
the fuck is every dumbass on fetlife amange
to pick em". ie, "pick nothing, it's what
they had at
the store. ALL
they had at
the store."
mircea_popescu: if
this is
the result of some kind of signalling, i'd like
to know what
the fuck.
mircea_popescu: the idiots s.mg forked legacy eulora codebase from <<
this is a group of random morons, hardly
together enough
to find which side of
the wall it's raining on.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-16 04:24 mircea_popescu: so, dorks with no connections and no resources somehow nevertheless managed
to schelling on
this. why
the fuck ? what ? cuz it's got a cube-like "icon" and 2010 was all about cube-like icons, gotta kubinetes on unity ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyone with even cursory qualifications in software project management could have pointed out
they have 0 chances of managing
the switch before
their chosen platform dies (they
took 12+ years
to fuck up
the original codebase, glacial foss devcycles as only gnu can exemplify).
mircea_popescu: ~why~ exactly
the robohitler chose
to act as if
this piece of shit is "the future" for a decade starting cca 2010 is
the faint interesting bit in here.
phf: asciilifeform, yeah i just included
the patches in case
there's something interesting
there (i don't know what
the overlap of patchsets is between machines)
phf: (there are some other hacks in genera-src, but i don't want
to investigate at
the moment)
phf: i
think he
took a bunch of macro photos of random parts, and wrote a zmachine version 0 emulators, which in itself can be noted, if
the rest of it wasn't so obnoxious
phf: i bought a barely used eizo cg243w from a russian guy. it was one of his last possessions (no work and didn't want
to become a "corporate whore"), and he
talked about how quality of everything went down and keeps going down and
that you really only can
trust 2009 hardware at
the latest. i wonder if
there are more people like
that hoarding
their prized bolix, but without yet hitting
the necessity
to sell one.
phf: asciilifeform,
that's entirely my impression.
the xl
that i bought went at asking price, because ^ wasn't bidding,
the rest of
them were bought by
the same guy, and he was bidding against a handful of desperados. i suspect
that
the whole
thing was a fluke, or rather
the Rembrandt market was a combination of luck and skill on
the part of dks
phf: or it was always
the same 5 people bidding
phf: ah, huh, he's an experienced showman, could've probably sold as a board, without anything else and still fetched
the same price
a111: Logged on 2014-01-19 19:38 asciilifeform: as a boy, i read about an 18th c. book, 'Triple Power over
the Forces of Hell'
mircea_popescu: precisely. i have regular bowel movements
that do not
tend
to interfere with my daily life ; but even so i still spend most of
the day doing other
things.
mircea_popescu: i've yet
to encounter,
this fabled wonder of
the ages,
the
thinking man.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of variety out
there, "i have a cuck, i'm marrying him" doesn't even
top
the scale.
mircea_popescu: btw, you ever met one of
those athletes who never changed
their socks
this month
mircea_popescu: i
thought we previously agreed last
time any actual design work went into computing
the year was 1979
