billymg: it still requires manual markup but it has
the benefit of breaking at
the right character automatically, rather
than finding
the character manually and placing a `<br>` after it
billymg: so one solution is
to wrap you string in something like `<span class="break">longstring</span>` and setting `.break { word-break: break-all; }`
billymg: so `word-break: break-all` works in
that any string will be cut when it hits
the end of
the line, but
this has
the unintended consequence of breaking spoken language words as well
billymg trial-and-erroring
to see if
this is possible in css
mircea_popescu: looky : if you have words of lengths 5, 5, 6, 17 and a line of 20 characters,
the expected behavious is A) 5 5 6 3 / 14. NOT b) 5 5 6 / 17.
mircea_popescu: what
that does is
that it fucks
the previous line, fills a whole subsequent line with a chunk of
the long word, and puts
the remainder on a
third line
billymg: i
think it's `word-wrap: break-word`
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck
this isn't default is anyone's guess,
there's ~no other way anyone wants
text
to ever go anyway. but w/e.
mircea_popescu: billymg no. i am looking for a html property
that will make
text flow correctly. which is
to say -- break as much of a long word as needed
to fill PREVIOUS line.
mircea_popescu: billymg yes, i put it in. now
tell me
the html
that makes it look like
that without hard linebreak.
billymg: but you're looking for a css property
that will break a single string when it reaches
the end of
the line?
mircea_popescu: (obviously
the \n fixes nothiong, because every rendering engine will fuck it up differently. which is why it'd be nice
to have code, and which is why html was even allowed
to exist in
the first place --
the promise, meanwhile scandalously defaulted on,
that it will resolve exactly such
things, cheaply and forever)
billymg: in
that example it looks like wordpress spit out a <br>
to manually break
the line
mircea_popescu: what code delivers
the result of
that \n between 3 and 9 ?
billymg: if such a
thing could even exist
billymg: ah, so would need
typesetter
that could "see
the mistakes"
billymg: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform: next
time you can simply say "billymg: it should look like
this, make it so"
mircea_popescu: and
the annoying part of syntax wrangling is
that now it overwrote my mental space, i don't even fucking recall wtf i was saying.
mircea_popescu: it's what
trilema does, and for
this reason. and every
time i ventrure out...
mircea_popescu: and it
takes like 8 fucking
tries
to get
the right length by
trial and error,
too. fuck my life, why am i living in
the chair of an idiot.
mircea_popescu: in
this case, a spurious line break sorta dozen characters in.
mircea_popescu: fucking html, ALWAYS
this is my experience with it : sink however long you want into making it do what you want it
to,
then write off
that effort and hand-coerce
things instead.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: previous line is fuckspaced because obviously, it didn't break an early fragment of
the long line
to fix
the
typographic needs of
the line coming before it.
mircea_popescu: fucking idiocy
this html. so i have a long line with no whitespace, and i want it
to break CORRECTLY. like an idiot i spent 15 minutes digging up "word-wrap: break-word" magic syntax, and
then another 10 for "how
to make css go inline into html". as a result, INSTEAD of breaking like i want it
to break,
typographically, it breaks moronically (stuffs a whole line of
the long line into
the paragaph,
then breaks it off, but
the
mircea_popescu: i never saw
that "spittyspot" or w/e
thing, but im ready
to write an open guarantee it doesn't come with basic functionality.
mircea_popescu: is it
THAT FUCKING HARD
to just have a relay ? i mean... not like i use
the fetlife app for fucks sake. because why would i.
diana_coman: possibly
the same "how can you live without a smartphone???"
mircea_popescu: just what
the fuck do
they put in
the water over
there in
the zekstan ?
mircea_popescu: it boggles
the mind
though,
these fucktarded morons,
they'd actually use usg.dumbphones ? in fucking syria ? PERSONALLY ?!
mircea_popescu: in other news, working on some gds specwork, draft later
today.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 23:49 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma put your patch into
the 'official' sequence, rather
than simply sewing it into ch13, i'd like
to explicitly honour
the work.
mircea_popescu: kinda funny, all
this obama-era debris. ridiculous libertard cocksuckers and
their dumb shit.
mircea_popescu: though i suppose heifer is
the
technically accurate
term.
venatiodecorus: so if
that was her feeling on
the matter i'd
trust her opinion
mircea_popescu: ""It seems believable
to me. I dunno why someone would make
this up," Cochran
told Motherboard in an encrypted chat. " because
totally, "attention whoring, just like everyone else in
the attention whoring '''industry'''" is not self-evident and arch-sufficient and explanation. and don't forget kids -- ENCRYPTED CHATS!!!
venatiodecorus: the channel ban expired on 2600net and i grabbed
the channel just cuz i
thought it was funny
venatiodecorus: there is a guy on
twitter @lulzsecops who claims
to have been around
them back
then or something like
that
venatiodecorus: planeshift is a custom engine coupleod with
the crystal space 3d rendering engine
venatiodecorus: phf: yeah i was actually just browsing
the source and reading up on
the history
venatiodecorus: i used
to work on an mmo
that ran on
torque,
thought it looked similar
to
that
mircea_popescu: ah. notrly. but yo ucan look
through
the client, it's published.
venatiodecorus: he linked some stuff and i got
to reading about ur game and bitcoin work and evreything
amberglint: "The documentation is done
through a "black box" process were Diamond is asked
to generate a large number of designs which
then used
to create bitstreams."
amberglint: asciilifeform: I
think
that's for
the reverse-engineering process only?
amberglint: perhaps
the rsatron will fit into
this larger chip?
trinque: asciilifeform: ftr
this "toilet box" vs "republican box"
thing is I gather what we all approximate already
mircea_popescu: if it has no dns servers it'll just do hosts and
that's it.
trinque: asciilifeform: it's
the libc
that *reads* even /etc/hosts
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yours is a specious argument. i have stable of slaves BECAUSE i do not use crap. not
the other way around.
mircea_popescu: you don't put it in, can't be arsed
to put it in,
think shouldn't have
to put it in -- ergo not need it.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:38 mircea_popescu: but imo also will
take some
thinking, do it right (which mostly means - simply and intolerantly)
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:40
trinque:
the libc's
the guy doing all
the dns-ism
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 14:18 asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu reminds me ,
trinque : here's an idea, let's banish
the 'root certs' and any systemwide sslism from cuntoo. if user demands it , let him install locally.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:44 mircea_popescu: replace
them with a single component, which builds a hosts file
through pressing v
tree.
mircea_popescu: he certainly is
the one
that deserves
the pogo storage headache >D
