mircea_popescu: and you are doing a+b. you are
taking
three different sources of data and merging
them
together, because it is ~deeply inconvenient~
to store comments
together with articles.
mircea_popescu: mysql db is direcylu back-up-able by copying
two files. php IS FUCKING FILES ON DISK
diana_coman: I can't begin
to imagine what was
the design idea
there "oh, ALL does not mean categories because you might want
to just re-categorize all your writing" or what
BingoBoingo: Ah,
the export
thing is a pain I have bumped into before
diana_coman: and re
the wp backup from dashboard specifically,
the one
time when I used it on old blog it
turned out
to be shit because although it said "backup ALL" it failed
to actually backup /restore
the categories
too...
mircea_popescu: low staunchly but mechanically, vainly imagining
that
there is a virtue in following
them staunchly which makes up for
the mischief of following
them mechanically."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other places, "The whole scope of
the essay is
to recommend culture as
the great help out of our present difficulties; culture being a pursuit of our
total perfection by means of getting
to know, on all
the matters which most concern us,
the best which has been
thought and said in
the world, and,
through
this knowledge,
turning a stream of fresh and free
thought upon our stock notions and habits, which we now fol
BingoBoingo: Harder
to do with
the old port fouling plastic shrouded
thinds
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
This is a point. I found a bandaid, gotta not let
the bandaid
turn into a load bearing structural member
mircea_popescu: why are you learning
the wrong lesson andf baking php into your process
mircea_popescu: you will have
to at some
time backup other
things
than mpwp you realiose
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Workflow
thing. I don't keep a constant ssh
tunnel into
the server, but if
there's a button of
the constantly open wpdashboard which shits db for my local machine Imma hit
that button at least daily.
BingoBoingo: Aite, I have found a ~56kb chunk of php which will let mp-wp shit out database backups from
the dashboard. Going
to put reading
the PHP in
the que, because php chunk's alleged author is
this guy:
http://austinmatzko.com/ mircea_popescu: there's no ~need~ for it
to work, is
the important point.
mircea_popescu throws hands up,
this was
the available budget for pdf bs.
mircea_popescu: possible ? or i got
the wrong item, who
the fuck even knows.
mircea_popescu: i honestly believe
the item linked cca 2015 is perfect answer. do you know which i mean or need i go spelunking for it ?
mircea_popescu: pdf can't "own" bits anymore
than wikipedia can. if i drop a can of
tuna in dogshit, it;s not now "dogshit brand
tuna"
mircea_popescu: just re-genesis anything you happen
to find and care about in a pdf as if it were your own original invention.
mircea_popescu: so imo saddling anyone with "transform pdf into sanity" is not unlike saddling
the one with any other restatement of "build machine, shit in, prunes out".
mircea_popescu: and by b) i mean inept shit like "this
text is a picture"
mircea_popescu: by a i mean : a zip of pngs can be presented as ".pdf" and
this is legal ; just as vectored
text or ascii
text could.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem afaik is
that pdf is a) not a format and b) not digital.
mircea_popescu: i'm perfectly willing
to
turn
the de facto "we of
tmsr do not believe anything in a pdf should ever be read" into law.
mircea_popescu: and
the republic's insistent refusal
to bake it, over
the years since it was first specced, an entirely resounding and clear refusal of
the
theory.
mircea_popescu: at some point, man has
to discriminate. as much sense as
the woman's wail "o look, he has
TOES!!!
there are SOME human-like parts!!" may seem
to make sense on
the surface.
mircea_popescu: iirc i even put in
the logs url of very fine service in
this vein, back a few years ago when i still even considered i might be interested in reading something
that came in a pdf.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the ability
to keep house ducklings for eventual retirement
to
the pond on
the back 40 is a distinct advantage of rural life
a111: Logged on 2018-11-15 15:35 mircea_popescu: by all means.
the republic is eternal ; children are like ducklings, one day
they
http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/best-in-the-world-13-560x373.jpg then you blink and
they're 3 lbs being
thrown into
the pond. come back when you're mocky's age, you can have a lengthy history of java you daren't admit
to
the self you regret and you can go
to burma or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i'll want
the coin back next year. now go forth and own stupidity no more!
Mocky: I'd appreciate it, I'm not in a position
to
turn it down as much as I'd like
to
mircea_popescu: now
this out of
the way : your credit's still good, you want a coin or so on your marker ?
Mocky: anyway, I'm putting in 80hr/week interview prep as
that's my bottleneck, plus as many more hours as I can cram in before it shuts down
mircea_popescu: Mocky imagine, never before was i
tempted
to
type a nick by hand, so we never knew.
mircea_popescu: trinque so
the payment he references is actually dead, and i should re-do it (and in redoing it say "mocky" not "Mocky" so you can
test) ?
trinque: but you'll need
to re-issue it and !!v again
Mocky: mircea_popescu, you were going
to get a reminder from me
tomorrow if it hadn't gone
thru by
then.
