mircea_popescu: ie, if "selection doesn't work for me" "why not ?" "because what i want to select recurs", give some thought whether indeed "selection is broken and should be fixed". WHY do you want to select something THAT RECURS, and recurs so much it actually doesn't allow you to extend the context slightly, one character at a time, resolving your problem ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 00:54:44 asciilifeform: it's possible that
mircea_popescu intends his item to be standalone, rather than pilot plant for all 'canonical' loggers. then dun matter so much whether calendar etc.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 22:38:25 asciilifeform: the other thing, the
adhoc traditional line select is human-friendly, very fast to grab a line url, whereas
mircea_popescu-style selector less so, gotta find unique start/end text, when citing from trilema it usually takes asciilifeform 2-3 shots to nail down the correct snip
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 22:26:36 asciilifeform: in related grrs, asciilifeform recently attempted backport of
mircea_popescu's selector knob to own wp, but broke teeth cuz it dun know how to cross paragraphs, and i have '9000' multi-para selections, esp. in ffa series where coad
diana_coman: (and them
mircea_popescu will write a mandatory-reading thread of more than 500 lines and my log-selection via log-raw will fail).

mircea_popescu: oh, and is
this a search bug, btw ?

mircea_popescu: whereas on trilema you have the whole power of the mp-wp selectylanguage at your disposals, you don't need the line numbers because you can just select w/e actually interests you

mircea_popescu: consider both the positive (no convergence language'd ever have emerged out of "oh, phf did excellent job with logger") and the negative (without "we have these loggers, how do we sync them" nobody'd have ever understood why mp-wp is a better display mechanism than "this shit i just brewed").
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 21:37:54
mircea_popescu: loggers as extant suffer from being built manalone style, from scratch, as such the only possible in-page selection is an ad-hoc (but very functional, as it happens) by-line.

mircea_popescu: billymg, did you ever find the trilema article re how to re-do your missed pingbacks ?

mircea_popescu: for this reason any imanentization (ie, mapping of concepts into reality) will revolve around a "paradigm" / wilful blindness of some kind. "how could i not think of that" is always lulzy -- if you thought of everything your head would explode. and that's a literalism : if you somehow fit all states of its own emptiness into a glass it'd go boom.

mircea_popescu: it'll benefit the nooblets immensely if they seriously spend some time groking the "
turn" thing. there's a time for everything ; and for most things that time isn't NOW.

mircea_popescu: speaking of which, an' considering we're apparently stuck with a buncha
chrises over here : any of your resident knights capable of registering a chan on ~any other network~ and writing the bridge code on top of extant bot already ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 14:59:46
mircea_popescu: so yes, there's ~IMPLICIT~ policy in
intellectual stance : if you're smart, you're here ; if you're not here, you're ~THEREFORE~ dumb. and so following.

mircea_popescu: anyway, vaguely interesting orc couple. he (
adrian), minor philosophist wanna-be, writing twice a decade minuscule nothings ("what is not existence", 1994). she, mirela, doing ~exactly~ nothing. both born in the periphery, mid 50s, exactly another inginer-profesoara couple like so very many at the time.

mircea_popescu: damn, rating > 1. so 2 trhough 10 inclusive.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 06:27:44
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yup, was the cap.

mircea_popescu: mine is diana_alt
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: I think this issue with self-voice vs lordship comes from #trilema being both republican halls (ie lords discussion) and your own training halls (hence nicoleci's problem to self-voice if only-9 can do it);
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: isn't bvt lord verschlimmbessert?
bvt:
mircea_popescu: i.e., in this context my rating remains +2, hence no self-voice in #trilema?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 07:01:56
mircea_popescu: of course, this could readily also bear the alternative interepretation of "there is nothing the rater WISHES TO SAY".
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: is there some eta/requirement on/for the castle-licensing thing? on my part I'm fine with it as stated.
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: yes, but not sure I see the point of "unset"; it's 0
billymg:
mircea_popescu: i could be completely missing the point though, i'm still not very familiar with pingbacks outside of the small bit i've read since you mentioned it
mod6:
mircea_popescu: oh no! sorry to hear about the mobo. not an emergency at all. in a rush atm, will re-send later, no worries. :]
lobbes: incidentally,
mircea_popescu with your permission I would like to bring the bot into #trilema during the next week for further testing (it wouldn't need voice; just needs to quietly sit in background). I'd like to see how it handles a heavier log-load
lobbes:
mircea_popescu: pls to let me know if you'd like the formatting tweaked. Both in terms of the textual output of log lines as well as the url format, and title format.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-22 16:37:18 lobbes: With that out of the way it has been going smoothly, and I'm mainly making up for lost time now. It would seem I'm on track to hit my
deadline though. I will probably have some demo output for
mircea_popescu to look at by the end of the day

mircea_popescu: shall say what had in mind on man's blog

mircea_popescu: you should have seen that dork, he creeped up to us while we were watching some locals zumba and all schmoozey "what is this ?"

mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman you still feel like hungary ? have a cuppa this weekend ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 13:03:01
mircea_popescu: hasn't actually read any of the links (nor do i intend to), so in theory this may be entirely baseless hatemongering on very comme il faut goodfolk who totally see the length of their nose.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 12:22:19 asciilifeform: ( from hanbot's piece i drew conclusion that
mircea_popescu is back home, but possibly he's simply 'night shift' nao )
lobbes: asciilifeform: well,
mircea_popescu's spec all of the lines are to appear on mp-wp articles (hence, the database piece is the backend for mp-wp, which is mysql)

diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: well, it's the use not the items, the usual "omg, not used according to my expectations therefore bad, abominable, can't exist etc"
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: eh, on some topics some people always "have no idea"; in the best interpretation possible, because it's so alien from everything else they have.
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: eh, he made it to the newspaper, ok?
diana_coman:
mircea_popescu: unfortunately I can entirely see him because he's so...unique I suppose.
diana_coman: bwahaha and
mircea_popescu did not "want to answer" lmao
