asciilifeform: comments will still go to mod queue, but asciilifeform gets pinged and will review in sumthing close to realtime.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you could say that i cheated tho, lessee if actually worx
asciilifeform: ( replaced the google liquishit with a simple and humane kindergarden arithmetic thing ) ☟︎
diana_coman: so it ..did not take all that long in fact?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I only skimmed the last chapter so Peh's output makes at least some sense but I still need to work my way through all the previous chapters; and time is limited as always...
asciilifeform: nuffin, mircea_popescu was awake to pull the breaker
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and what's the objection ?
mircea_popescu: i guess he just got eager to contribute.
asciilifeform: lol whatever happened to testing gadgets before firing in battlefield

mircea_popescu: spyked plox to see http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874742 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's no other way here, is there.
BingoBoingo: I guess if a news is going to be double posted it ought to be Merkel's opportunity to go out with a bang

asciilifeform: d the online payment processor Stripe each pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project.' etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Feb. 5, 2015, 8:10 p.m.: After this article appeared, Werner Koch informed us that last week he was awarded a one-time grant of $60,000 from Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative. Werner told us he only received permission to disclose it after our article published. Meanwhile, since our story was posted, donations flooded Werner's website donation page and he reached his funding goal of $137,000. In addition, Facebook an
asciilifeform: incidentally, is microshit still paying that derp megabux to 'maintain' his turd, i wonder
asciilifeform: cleaning up ~those~ is much higher grade of exterminator work than asciilifeform's..
asciilifeform: good % of the daily sisyphean boulder work of programmer, is to tear up these past attempts at 'smart' so that work can happen
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have a strong bias against proggies which try to be 'smart' ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 14:29 asciilifeform: phf: i like the explicit a/b dirs
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874722 << yeah. wrong place to have implicits./ ☝︎
asciilifeform: i aint had occasion to do ~this~ yet, but whoknows.
asciilifeform: lol, re 'perfect code', oughta mention the philosophical complement to genesis : eschaton ( diff proj against null ...! )
mircea_popescu: the ~only wrong thing is if there ends up added a switch, to turn machinery from "normal" to "genesis mode". that, no.
mircea_popescu: but then again nothing substantially wrong with "genesis is when you vdiff against /dev/null".
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 14:19 phf: vpatch is picky about what it accepts, it's basically only a/foo/* b/foo/*, where's vdiff can accept a totally random stuff like /foo/bar/qux diffed against /dev/null or whatever. right now even diffing two straight files e.g. vdiff x y will produce a non-pressable vpatch. this is all not so much a bug as an unexplored aspect of vdiffing which is also part of the whole rename tracking.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874718 << philosophically i don't see the problem with having an empty dir around in project trees, as a permanent reminder of what perfect code looks like. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's the least of the problems. The imaginary trains appear to just run portions of bus routes with little coverage of interesting city and long runs into the favelas
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in any case the pumps to keep the sea out right.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-25#1874601 it occurs to me i should probably also share the echo "FC66C0C5D98C42A1D4A98B6B42Fv9985AFAB953C4/17215D118B7239507FAFED98B98228A001ABFFC7/gns" | sed 's%.\{1\}%&<wbr />%g' that produced it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: there's still iirc a bug in auto-reconnector, but is upstream in the http://btcbase.org/patches/ircbot-multiple-channels-corrected , i'ma attend to it laters ( unless trinque & ben_vulpes know a ready pill )
BingoBoingo: In still other lulz, MS paint map made by alleged local socialist kid of imaginary train system they would like to see in the city, Maybe USG is going to try to get their money back selling one? https://i.redd.it/f7xva1zoqd021.png
asciilifeform: i perma-welded it to 256bit cuz irc lines are short .
asciilifeform: ( bonus is that the ~output printing~ itself is constant-time, ha )
asciilifeform: pehbot is simply a wrapper around compiled ffa_calc , currently it gives closest possible picture to what you get if you ran the proggy itself locally.
asciilifeform: in cmdline work , the leading 0s actually make life easier ( can see if leading bit is in the expected place , etc )
asciilifeform: ( observe that input mechanism dun require the leading 0s )
asciilifeform: could, in principle ( could even discard leading 0s ) but i wrote the orig logic mircea_popescu-style, 'do not want spurious whitespaces'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to elaborate ? broken up where
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can has broken up output tho ? 5s or 4s or w/e you prefer ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 14:07 phf: unless there are objections from others i'll add it to backlog
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874716 << no i think he has a point, shouldn't have to keep adding or-true to code. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda the point of the design/spec yeah. BingoBoingo heh.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: UY doesn't really have natgas or any other hydrocarbons of its own. It has cows. The supermarket turkeys though were US imports though.
mircea_popescu: if and when it ~actually~ becomes annoying, then.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i honestly don't even see the problem with this being here. let people learn how to code, what.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: but take this forinstance : thorouyghly hated politician active these days MADE his own fucking ARO (70s romanian SUV). OUT OF PARTS. WHICH HE BOUGTH.
mircea_popescu: ftr, that dragnea fellow being http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-22#1741883 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i'ma move it to #asciilifeform later today, to cut down on rubbish in log )
pehbot: asciilifeform: I am PehBot. See also http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2822 . My Width is currently fixed to 256 and Height to 32.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 04:41 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz nobody likely gives a shit about : romania apparently has some natgas in its chunk of black sea shelf ; usg wants to steal this ; ro senate wrote a law for them ; ro commons rejected it, because this one guy (liviu dragnea) said so. his majority collapsed because "hungarian" miniparty changed its mind overnight (ie, transparently got bought out) and well... guess who is "accused" of supposedly having FORCED
mircea_popescu: in those cases there's also "joint-ventures", http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861717 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: UY.MIl kit distinctly lacks USG tech
mircea_popescu: 70-80% of what usg embassy even does, is try to get the dubaloos back in large coups.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the way they try to close the circle is by aspirating large chunks later, "sells them military technology".
mircea_popescu: large portion of ye olde "it's expensive to live in places humans do not naturally live in, be it air water mars w/e"
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's notion was that usg, unlike yachtsman, somehow mooches the cost from the orcs )
mircea_popescu: and i mean, what are you going to do ? not pump the tank ?
BingoBoingo during the apartment search breifly considered a dock at the Yacht Club's Puertito Buceo. Floating house stray thought did not survive 5 minutes.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, you can reconstruct it mentally in any case, yes ? "there's a fee for the dock spot" "aha" "and would you like your tanks pumped ?" "sure" "this is for fuel this is for black water this is for fresh water do you want air" "go on" "oh there's also mandatory veterinarian inspection" "i got no anima..ugh. i only got bipedal pets on board" "can be waived for fee"
mircea_popescu: suddenly there's this mile-and-a-half ticker tape.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you lack this fundamental experience, of either taking a boat/yacht/whatever, or a private plane, to port. it's this very specific thing, like the post-party restaurant bill or taking a harem grocery shopping.
BingoBoingo: Mind this is a country where https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/para-de-fleteros-dejo-sin-combustible-al-aeropuerto-de-carrasco-20181016204544 happens
BingoBoingo: Anyways, USG is going to likely be buying fuel made with VZLA's oil
BingoBoingo: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/aerolineas-se-reunieron-con-ancap-preocupadas-por-costo-del-combustible--2018112018470 Maybe I misremembered the recency
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: the margin it appears they are facing is more than a trickle of rectal blood given the airline shitfit over prices. Will try to dig up that article
asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if it were 'coupla bux / litre' tho
BingoBoingo: Locals who don't glaze over at the sight of dollars, because they track dollar prices here like folks back home track gas prices
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the margin on the fuel ?
BingoBoingo: Then there's going to be the hookers getting paid by the chair force folks
BingoBoingo: But yes, Uruguay seems to be taking money
mircea_popescu: i bet you they sold machine sandwiches they had sitting around since i was last there.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> hercules tank is like 30k gallons. per plane. if they surcharge a coupla bucks a liter, which they do, uruguay airport made 100k in one day for the first time since it was inaugurated. << The price of aviation fuels went up last week quite a bit as well to the protest of some airlines
mircea_popescu: hercules tank is like 30k gallons. per plane. if they surcharge a coupla bucks a liter, which they do, uruguay airport made 100k in one day for the first time since it was inaugurated.
mircea_popescu: the only time most of the local morons actually see custom is when usg.tards land.
mircea_popescu: all those people, get off, pay the local whores. 0 clue as to anything.
asciilifeform: see, i had picture that it's like potus visit to flyover states -- massive ding for local coffer (they offload as much of the cost as they can on podunk)
mircea_popescu: but i mean, you realise this is ~free money, yes ?
BingoBoingo: Anyways, a lot more military vessels passing by the beach this past week
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, i dun have a good model of the miami-seekers, apparently
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The Blanco Party protested
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i naively thought there was a chance that they'd protest
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why wouldn't they, lol.
mircea_popescu: as a side point, i wonder how many of these cardboard imbeciles, "i'm not fucking my daughter because there's no space in the kitchen robot atop my shoulders for such out there things, not because i totally could but don't really feel like it" understand they strictly can't be anyone's father, or anything else. just items, like the table, "approving" or "disapproving" of entirely nothing in particular.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol! so they did kowtow.
BingoBoingo: Update on the G20 invasion: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/lluvia-de-solicitudes-para-sobrevolar-el-territorio-uruguayo--20181125144049
mircea_popescu: oh, they certainly will. though looks more like 40 years of milking old people's idiocies, "old man's otherwise dead eyes seem to light up when i mention i'm locked up in google cell block, as opposed to ordinary cell block. nfi why, but in truth i never saw that idiot genuinely happy, so what can you do."
asciilifeform: hey if ibm can live for 40 yrs on milking real estate , wainot also these
mircea_popescu: cuz how do you "fight terrorists" aka people wielding uncomfortable realities, other than by hiding in ever deeper layers of imaginary nonsense.
mircea_popescu: essentially driven the "abstraction" cycle of that abomination, resulting in today's situation, where google is practically dead on the black side of the ledger, 0 utility for anyone, and extremely expensive on the red side.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 16:07 asciilifeform: no word so far on what the brits will do when they discover that the 'sticker prices' for the golden toilets are a work of '2 old jews and their painting' fiction , and ~worthless on market
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "made for adsense", early republican technology that consisted of force-leaching of turkey dollars from pre-alphabet google's http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663222 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 12:28 spyked: notification for current republican feeds has already been added for #trilema, so you can disable the rss piece in deedbot, trinque

mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/UhPRW << top keks... it even links to the original ? wtf is this.
