mircea_popescu: maybe it should be a rule, "you can't run with the cool kids until you e-murder someone"

cazalla: so.. banned from twitter for sending "violent threats" of which i did not do lol, and people wonder why others stick to irc
asciilifeform: whether this counts as 'engineering' - matter of taste.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what he did was snip out most of the amp. at the time, most tv owners lived in or very near cities, with powerful transmitters. hence - worked. mostly.
mircea_popescu: fast forward 50 years later, even the president is a pretentiously dressed-up monkey.
mircea_popescu: back in the 60s, even clowns in napoleon costumes were accomplished engineers.

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Google | Google. The holy mother of all search engines. Is the most efficient, and reliable search engines. Can generate a few million results within a fraction of a second.
mircea_popescu: it just implies you're bringing in teh dough.
ben_vulpes: implying i could *not* buy the thing in question, whatever it is
ben_vulpes: i'm amused at the every 2 minute "all of our representatives are on the line with other customers" spiel

ben_vulpes: i have officially been on hold with the irs for an hour to get a number necessary to open their payment backend
mircea_popescu: (which is a very common deprecatory, calling someone "the son of cock" is like saying he'll be inheriting the kingdom of heaven)
mircea_popescu: awww missed the huyportunity ?!
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 22:31:04; mircea_popescu: can this be like, our god ?
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm going to take a moment to pangloss all over myself, because imagine this! we live in the best world possible : just as the muntzing of the world is necessary, the collapse of the political is unavoidable.
asciilifeform: variant on the ancient 'things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the part where it concludes "but it shouldn't" is under dispute here.
mircea_popescu: this thing goes extremely deep, because honestly, what i don't like about i dunno, take your pick ? thins.
asciilifeform: 'Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction — from which, by induction, it is evident that every program can be reduced to one instruction that does not work.'
mircea_popescu: ./muntz.sh the entire motherfucking world
mircea_popescu: Well, doggone, the picture was still there! Then he would study the schematic some more, and SNIP... SNIP... SNIP. Muntz had made a good guess of how to simplify and cheapen the circuit. Then, usually, he would make one SNIP too many, and the picture or the sound would stop working. He would concede to the designer, "Well, I guess you have to put that last part back in,"
mircea_popescu: After a short discussion, Earl would say, "But, you seem to be over-engineering this - I don't think you need this capacitor." He would reach out with his handy nippers (insulated) that he always carried in his shirt-pocket, and snip out the capacitor in question.
mircea_popescu: The story around the industry was that he would wander around to an engineer's workbench and ask, "How's your new circuit coming?"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i won't call this muntzing, but i will say that if i cut off include stdio.h from a program i expect it to a) compile and b) function ; without stdoutput.
asciilifeform: i'm no great fan of what he did. but the basic act (if not the result) deserves remembering.
asciilifeform: but one could argue that it should be readily apparent why kills.
mircea_popescu: which i decried as the evil that it is earlier.
mircea_popescu: he's an early exponent of the "80% of service with 20% of cost and try for 50% of price" thing,
asciilifeform: in that removal of anything whatsoever - kills.
mircea_popescu: nah, this doesn't actually work. i recall this guy, the salesman dude. this isn't what's happening here.
mircea_popescu: any software/stack/platform/anything interfering with this is evil, for that reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes. muntzing is the correct debugging approach.
asciilifeform: i learned of the man from locklin, incidentally
mircea_popescu: the benefits of ignorance, i get to feel nine years old again :D
mircea_popescu: stuff that does that will never fit in any head, much like bridge pillars don't fit in any cunt.
assbot: What's All This Muntzing Stuff, Anyhow? | Boards content from Electronic Design ... ( http://bit.ly/1xHkAD6 )
mircea_popescu: the problem is that in any current shitstack, if you cut ANYTHING out it "stops working".
mircea_popescu: so, if an absolute guarantee can be offered that any portion can be cut off, this probably satisfies both of us.
mircea_popescu: "when in doubt, dike it out". this is the golden rule of all computer programming. logically, interfering with it is then evil.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, i think i may have made a breakthrough here. your idea of a "program that fits in head" and my displeasure at the backwards way linux has been going have a common spot.
mircea_popescu: and yes, one of the many different reasons bayesianism is little more than "a cult of ai without moon or minsky aka stupid"
ben_vulpes: space typically grows faster than data?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it ? sparsity due to high volumetric exponent ? wtf ?

mircea_popescu: ;;google site:trilema.com tom coburn
punkman: sold 2 million copies of family tree software before 1995, love it
mircea_popescu: aww seems so. dude the curse of #b-a. "say something stupid in some trade rag, they'll find a... better you ?"
assbot: Kenneth Hess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1rlMmbE )
TomServo: Sorry, I should've said James T Kirk.
mircea_popescu: well i guess if you're 15 in the 70s it's a reasonable reason to be buying z80s
xanthyos: commodore vic 20 came out in 1980, so it was between the motion picture and the wrath of khan. shatner was a big deal.
TomServo: From Hess' bio on zdnet: His first computer was a Commodore VIC-20, which he purchased because William Shatner was in the commercials.
mircea_popescu: the perfect age to be stupid re what things are, whatthey mean and what to trust. locklin's their model.
mircea_popescu: and all through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin.
