asciilifeform: ReadErr: when you 'download proggy from shithub', it is exactly same act as if you could, in a restaurant, order '1 cubic litre from public dump' as a dish. complete with whatever happens to be scopped out, used condoms, syringes, rotten vegetables, dead rats
asciilifeform: ( or rather, some finite sequence of these )
asciilifeform: ~all ffa ops can be reduced to 'add-with-possible-2scomplement' and 'shift'.
asciilifeform: ( likbez : all you need for the mythical holy grail, 'fast iron rsa', is a very large-bitnessed adder-cum-barrelshifter and a few storage registers that can be programmatically shuffled between. )☟︎
asciilifeform: essentially, 'yes we put srams in the fabric but they can't shift, fuckyou'
asciilifeform: phf: naggum had a perl rant , re how it typifies fungus-growth media by supplying young cocklets with inexhaustible fountain of trivial breakages to 'cleverly' work around
asciilifeform: was massive, cancerous ball of autoconf and ???? even decade ago, aha.
asciilifeform: itarianism, the perspectives that guide their actions may not favor justice in your organization. '
asciilifeform: 'My conclusion from the interaction is that, now more than ever, when it comes to future collaborators, in any context, it is important for anyone for whom justice matters to probe candidates deeply for fascist tendencies. If they show a sign, pass. Anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer, and anti-black behaviors and actions often correlate: if you see one sign, often there are more underneath. Even if the person claims to value egal
asciilifeform: 'the extent to which men's-rights-activist and racist talking points had made it into their discourse, and the way the individualist edifice of their world-view enabled their pre-fascist ideas'
asciilifeform: 'trying to get them closer to a justice-affirming perspective'
asciilifeform: why am i reading about e.g. '...ignorance about the lived experience of women compiler writers, say, can lead to hurtful behavior...' ?☟︎
asciilifeform: esthlos: sanity, esp when it has a short-term cost, is not the default. your null hypothesis is broken.☟︎
asciilifeform: like all other fw calls, it's built into ~all~ of'em. like nipple.
asciilifeform: see also other banzais, e.g. '... Если немца убил твой брат, / Если немца убил сосед, — / Это брат и сосед твой мстят, / А тебе оправданья нет. / За чужой спиной не сидят,/ Из чужой винтовки не мстят ...'
asciilifeform: dunno that 'isms' play into it. it's a firmware call, 'pet chix dismembered in front of you ? banzai'
asciilifeform: based on the type of man that at the time existed, and ~came out~ of the war -- i would conjecture : the former. rather than 'for her demoocracy'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unfortunately i can't answer this, my ouijatron is broken...
asciilifeform: in mircea_popescu's cosmography, the folx who banzai'd to avenge the chix , castrato ?
asciilifeform: details proclaimed uninteresting -- get de-emphasized
asciilifeform: notice how most drawn human figures even today -- unless, i suppose, drawn by streicher -- have smaller, than in life, nose. but nobody thinks this is odd.
asciilifeform: 'if the model is ugly, it's epicyclic even if we don't have the reduction yet' is an ideological, yes, position
asciilifeform: it is only to very limited extent forward . ( recall the 'physicists have a duty to press for clean unification' asciilifeform thread )
asciilifeform: inescapably the shit-model is only revealed to be such, ~after~ the epicycles removed
asciilifeform: to borrow BingoBoingo circa 2014 -- the correct solution to fat is... not to become fat; rather than 'reach implements' and double-wide train seats
asciilifeform: whether we're speaking of v, or of the introduction of polar coords, or lagrange's mechanics, etc
asciilifeform: correct mechanics of model ( aka notation ) for a problem , has the same effect as levers do in mechanical work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it makes sense. nevertheless, epicycles were abolished. the gymnastiscs of roman arithmetic are no longer here. and so on.
asciilifeform: iirc original term of art was sumthinglike barnum's elephant-repellent
asciilifeform: turning a dump truck full of ???!?$$??? that you found on the street, that contains some parts valid v-sigs, patches, and some parts chicken shit -- into a purely valid v-tree , is o(n^2). but q is why to permit the dump truck situation to begin with.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope. it was resolved in the correct way ('give the vtron the obvious hint , i.e. sanely named files , that turns the problem from o(n^2) into o(n)' )
asciilifeform: phf: this is 1) true 2) still a war crime
asciilifeform: does scheme even have multiline comments ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun even know if it is 'good sportsmanship' to count individual langs. oughta count families, perhaps ? slavic, germanic , roman
