Vexual: heck, i'll even chip in for
the prize
Vexual: what about a
thursday freeroll on seals?
Vexual: also
theres not many people you'd like down at
the local pig and sty
Vexual: mp: i'd love
to run your free drinks, but i see a conflict of interests
Vexual: have cpan mirror, will
tarvel
Vexual: mircea_popescu: move on
to perl ? < bring me a straw
Vexual: as long as it doesn't go into
the whiskey
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes:
Tits are real. Just wait until mircea_popescu replaces flouride in
the water with risperidone
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I've been
trying
to get my mechanical engineering student brother on
the LISP
train (dentist brother needs no guidance) and I'm giving my paper copy of land of LISP
to degernerate cousin's kids. God bless warez.
BingoBoingo: Python also benefitted from Math departments
that
thought "R" was bad branding for a language
decimation: yeah I
think
they were mostly a python shop
ben_vulpes: decimation: i may have mis-discovered my history but wasn't
the steel behind python largely google before
they created "Go"?
ben_vulpes: i shudder at
the mention, but perhaps i'll end up "Go"ing
ben_vulpes: yeah how do i roll greenarrays into
the
thing
ben_vulpes: clojure
takes 30s
to boot and so is utterly unusable for operations stuff. common lisp is...well, unpalatable
to client operations staff. bash is not up
to
the
task. python's right out, along with
the *js crowd.
ben_vulpes: the last
thing i see happening is me getting excited about using a language for infrastructure automation.
ben_vulpes: i've only been doing
this for like 3 years now and i've already learned
that languages are a red herring.
ben_vulpes: python's basically dead in
the water ("which python",
to quote alf)
ben_vulpes: but it's pretty lacking in
terms of mutating
the cluster in place, and not
the most pleasant of
things
to work in being written mostly in bash.
ben_vulpes: i wrote a
thing
that handles
turning standard piles of software into running software on ec2 with docker for environment isolation
ben_vulpes: i'm at a loss where
to go with provisioning, deployments and cluster mutatino
BingoBoingo: This ^ Kit is cheaper
than a
typical 'netbook'
BingoBoingo: Basically
they want
to run a USD
to USD dice game
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah how
the hell are
they going
to settle
their 'physical' bitcoin swaps?
mats: BingoBoingo: bummer. its been p quiet,
those links were
the most interesting
things in
two days
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well it is one of
those BTC futures without any BTC delivery deals
☟︎ mats: i learned
today naive cold boot attacks are actually pretty unlikely
to work, due
to modern memory controllers causing a lot of data
to appear
to be garbage
BingoBoingo: mats: So apparently I am banned from
that channel
decimation: this ledgerX
thing is amusing. bezzle's gotta bezzle
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There were parts where maybe I believe, but yeah
the string of inconsistent broke people kinda kills
the
thing as a movement.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude i so don't believe
the recent cosby dirt...
mats: the guy
talks a lot without much substance and im not inclined
to believe his claims at any rate
BingoBoingo: mats: And Bill Cosby claimed he was a clean cut saint who wasn't in it for
the pussy.
mircea_popescu: decimation was linked here few days ago, some "mixer"
thing stole however many btcs
mats: his followers claim he is not
the same as
the bitcointalk scammer
BingoBoingo: Lemme dig up
the latest buttcointalk drama on
the moriarity scammer
decimation: what was his scam? I recall he claimed
that he had 'made it big' on early bitcoin
mats: >Russia will write off $865 million of Uzbekistan’s debt leaving a balance of $25 million
to repay
to Moscow
undata: you know
technically one can climb in either direction
decimation: mats:
that is neat, I didn't know gribble could do
that
BingoBoingo: And Bitcoin climbs,
the dollars simply does not yet know!

decimation: actually
that would be particularly devious - a shell
that one could hear being dropped, which would scatter mines everywhere - arming after a few seconds of settling

mats: Chinese did it just fine. muskets

BingoBoingo: decimation: I'm just saying if we're shooting... projectiles with immediate injury. Dun want
to get owned by a brave idiot wearing
tin foil
PeterL: motion
triggered nuke?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: If we were doing
turrets, why laser and not rail?
mircea_popescu: definitely
the oldest weapon, definitely
the most cost effective.
mircea_popescu: actually alf has a point.
the mine is merely
the successor of
the caltrop
decimation: I
think mr. mold made
this point - once you have laid
the minefield, it's an easy step
to
the laser-turrets
decimation: asciilifeform:
this is what I mean by 'border fence' with mexico
ben_vulpes: i always enjoy derpettes humiliating
themselves on camera.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do not complain about
things you should be
thankful for.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pyramid stone at least had value in being convenient cut rock.
This is literally a dirt pile only being molest because of grants by engineers
that can't arithmatic.
decimation: asciilifeform: but some of
them might have been making an idiotic political statement!
decimation: they have been
there more-or-less unmolested for 1000 years
decimation: basically
the lines are drawn in
the black crusted desert, with white sand underneath
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> next
they'll smash something notable on purpose. << Locally "preservation Engineers" have done exactly
this with "Monks Mound"
Thing is just a pile of dirt long lived with stable shape. Engineers come in and in
their interventions invent "slumping" A scourge
the caused and insist only
they can solve for
the grant dollars.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my first stint as a
Teaching Assistant I had Late 40's grad students. Retired military or house wives getting almost always already employed by
the university looking for
their second or
third career
decimation: that was pretty much
their original 'apology' and peru said 'fuck you'
mircea_popescu: they
tried and
therefore no one should criticize
them.
