mircea_popescu: it contains such gems as "He went abroad with him, and brought home such a return as was
to be expected from kindred honour and well reciprocated use."

they've always been my "wrong
tool for every job"; i'd rather have a set of deep sockets in pretty much every situation.
trinque: don't you want
to use our prebuilt bins, citizen?
trinque: asciilifeform: I failed repeatedly
to build chrome on musl, said "fuck it", dustbinned.
mircea_popescu: honestly,
the engine needs a rewrite anyway. and
the rewrite needs our svg/html spec. and so following.
mircea_popescu: that said, a svg-centric (as per prev log discussion) x-only (no gnome/kde/whatever bs) browser will prolly have
to be written anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just making a copy of
their historical offerings.
mircea_popescu: there's
this pantsuit
trend of making websites from playdo. 0 levers, 0 anything,
thick bright colors.

that civ which can't make si ball can use pre-provided microscopic multers or w/e.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-24 22:59 asciilifeform: without sovereignty, 'your'
tractor - isn't yours. it belongs (along with your starfish)
to
the big boys.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-24 22:58 asciilifeform: jurov:
tank is a particular
type of
tractor, let's say. it cultivates sovereignty (or did, in
the age of
the
tank, but why nitpick) rather
than edibles.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "when world ended",
this 2014-2015 winter might actually be
the best not-after-this date
mircea_popescu: "These factors
together worked
to bring
the actual NATO oil need under its allocation for
the first
time in
the forty years since
that allocation exists, and otherwise for
the first
time since
the Industrial Revolution some centuries ago. It's really an incredible, history bending first,
this" <<
http://trilema.com/2015/oil-theory/#selection-61.102-61.394 mircea_popescu: what, like growth of galena crystals guarded over by roc bird like in arab
tales ?
mircea_popescu: point in case, programmable ants available since forever, we've yet
to see ant-automation natives.
mircea_popescu: i dunno

there is no, strictly speaking, reason
that iron MUST be provided on
the surface of a planet just like
the earth. it ~could~, very well, have simply gone
through a place poor in planetoids and ended up entirely iron free on
the surface. but it did not.
mircea_popescu: dude. "microcrystalline obsydian". it's like silica glass, except volcano-made. it has planes and everything. what are you
talking about ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-11 21:44 mircea_popescu: not afaik.
tho honestly
the idiocy of "equity" as practiced in common law / intuited by
the runts in every litter +
their enablers is such monumental nonsense as i don't expect can be readily unpacked.
diana_coman: it always sounded rather...menacingly/cold
to me, lol; ash != sand I'd say
BingoBoingo: Then
there's
the Falta de Respecto y las otras faltas
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, so
that Arenal area in CR is meant as...sands/sandy or what?
diana_coman: I can see it easily; it's a human right
to have it easy in whatever definition of easy one might have floating by
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> do
they also use "cuesta mucho" for "it's not fair"? it'd be quite on point at least from what I can
tell << Around here
they usually bitch about
their derechos
mircea_popescu: not afaik.

☟︎ diana_coman: since asciilifeform was asking re what does "it's not fair" mean - from what I can
tell, precisely
that: if one finds it hard,
then it's not fair
diana_coman: do
they also use "cuesta mucho" for "it's not fair"? it'd be quite on point at least from what I can
tell
mircea_popescu: but back
to
the point :
the only sort whom "los cuesta"
to be
thinking is
the sort
that really has no business here.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, spanish (which is
terrible re cognates btw, it fails
to distinguish between expecting [esperar] and hoping [esperancia] and so on) uses
the same word for both "it's expensive" (cuesta mucho) and "i find it difficult" ("me cuesta").
diana_coman: I
think it's simply a matter of effort-avoidance, what; i.e. change aka innovation is always "hard" so by consensus subversion will be attempted until ~all possible attempts are exhausted, sort of
thing
mircea_popescu: nor what other incentive is
there, for either, besides
the "moron still wants
to live and spawn".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman on meditation,
the innovation/subversion distinction is quite well founded.
phf: oh, i don't know what you guys achieved in html mode, because i'm looking at
the result in lynx
phf: asciilifeform: you can also use console maxima
to fixed width layout formulas for you
mircea_popescu: i
think it prolly makes it more readable, and also has
the merit of making
the ad-hockery less ad-hockish/more rulebased.
mircea_popescu: might as well use wall of ( 3
tall if you're doing wall of |
mircea_popescu: yes well. none of
this works with a fixwidth display. not
that i'm against having font scaling separate by heigh and width, but currently, it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: though in fairness, while
the
thickness displayed is exaggerated, what you do by hand is not SIMPLY shear it. you also
thicken it some.
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, i don't
think
they implemented arbitrary shearing of fonts.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean "not
turned up" lol. it's in
the article i just linked you.
mircea_popescu: well, one or
the other.
there's no way
to magic away
the difference between gfx browser and fixwidth
term.
