though. Function is a requirement and form is a structure for implementation.
TheNewDeal: form and function are quite useful
tools for analysis . anatomy
teacher used
to preach it in secondary school
BingoBoingo: Well form must always exist as a +1 onto something else
to be useful.
mircea_popescu: me killing dopey-popo-plus being a fine example of exactly
this.
mircea_popescu: form as used by
they with a lot of substance isn't even form per se anymore.

to a point, but by
the
time you
take it far enough
to add -ism it's gone
too far.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i'm beinf facetious for
the fun of humiliating
they absent
third parties
that believe in form and formalism.
BingoBoingo can
tell it is statement season because
the logs are so
thin. I guess it is a consequence of so many
things going on

to be programming C++
decimation: I was
thinking about your point about how
these languages put
the programmer in 'jail' by separating 'language' and 'code'
decimation: I was amazed
that anyone could
think
that it's a great idea
to give up control over your software using
templates written by some committee
BingoBoingo: decimation:
The Problem with Java is it denies
the existence of Hardware
decimation: today I was
trying
to wrap my head around C++ std vector libraries
BingoBoingo: It's amazing how much
though
that could have been
the case in LISP machine world.
decimation: somehow
there's motivation in
the 'linux' world (by
that I mean redhat)
to make
the OS 'go away'
decimation: BingoBoingo: pre-bsd mac os was a
turd
decimation: after all, wouldn't you like

tie your boot process with opaque silicon?
BingoBoingo: As notated in
the logs from April - May
this year after my scrotum's previous brush with illness and danger,
the surprise Hearnia would be a most unwelcome guest.

think
there's also some 'me-too'-ism with secure booting off
the
tpm module
assbot: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By

decimation: exactly
the dependency issue. If you "know" what your system depends on, you can parallel-boot multiple processes simultaneously

to have
their systems boot quickly
decimation: asciilifeform: I
take it you are not a 'systemd' fan?
BingoBoingo: I mean seriously, who wants
to run a *nix laptop and not play with runlevels

BingoBoingo: Hearnia probably ought
to join
the vocabulary

the
transition.

this.
decimation: re: sabu/fbi irc chat << fyi, if you are a 'hacker' and someone
tells you
that
they can 'hack NATO', you are being played
BingoBoingo: I have
to imagine it can't be a non-trivial number
lobbes: "As
they watched
the bonfire die down,
they asked
the DEA officials
to estimate
the value of
the marijuana
they had just burned.
The reply: half a million dollars.
The farmers had
to laugh.
The value of

the plants
decimation: asciilifeform: "server logs" <<
these are from
the
http referer headers?
decimation: asciilifeform: I always wondered about
the rather large population of fortune
tellers in Maryland. I'm glad

that NMR resolution isn't good enough
to be helpful for silicon-based integrated circuitry

the memo
that said floating icebergs in
the gulf of mexico = GLOBAL WARMING.
mircea_popescu: "The winter of 1783-1784.
The Revolutionary War had just ended, and Benjamin Franklin was puzzling over
the nation's bizarre weather. Congress had been delayed getting
to Annapolis

Treaty of Paris because
the Chesapeake Bay just wouldn't melt.
The Mississippi River froze down

the Gulf of Mexico."
