billymg: diana_coman:
thanks! i see your point about
the footnotes,
they could use some visual separation from
the main content
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: certainly. in general speaking,
trbi will prolly not use any of
the current
trb/prb legacy common code
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not like anyone has
to press on it, as per
that discussion.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Apparently Brasil has Walmart, but no,
there is no lolmart in BingoBoingostan
billymg: what if i submitted a vpatch
that adds
the js-text-selection feature and
the few lines of CSS
to
the "default"
theme in mp-wp (blue header one)?
☟︎ billymg: BingoBoingo: i could definitely do
that, wanted
to add it
to my own as
the first step
BingoBoingo: Prolly rather sickly. In
this sunny place I am surrounded by sickly looking pale freaks.
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> it's funny
to see "face whitening cream" on
the grocery shelf next
to shaving cream and
tooth brushes. i always assumed it was just michael jackson and brown chicks with dark blemishes wanting
to bleach skin << Apparently it is a big Asian
thing.
The prospect of it being here makes me very cautious about sunscreen selections.
Mocky: yes, a few of
them. but waffles here are like a desert gimmick, covered in
thick layers of chocolate sauce or
the like.
they don't
take
this shit serious
BingoBoingo: billymg: if you are really looking for something
to do,
there's a spiffy js
text selection
thing and mp-wp could use a couple
themes where it is plugged in by default
BingoBoingo: billymg: I hadn't seen
that one yet. Nice
take on
the
TrannyCoC problem.
Mocky: oh and in more important news, i got a line on where
to buy a waffle maker here. went
to
the store and
they actually do sell
them. but ... sold out. which is probably for
the best since
they were selling a model worth 17$
that makes one at a
time for 80$
lobbes: although for vdiff, you'll probably want phf's vtools for
the keccak
billymg: would like
to get out before getting stuck in a coke machine
billymg: haha strange country very much
top of mind for me
Mocky: that's where it starts, next
thing you know you're in some strange country
billymg: right now i have
two items in my queue 1) figure out how
to submit a vpatch for mp-wp with
those few lines of CSS
tweaks on
the default
theme 2) write a completely custom mp-wp
theme
billymg: as
there is some overlap between design and marketing
billymg: this is something i had
thought of before
lobbes: billymg:
there may also be opportunities selling for pizarro. If you
think you could be good at
that couldn't hurt
to check with
them
billymg: lobbes: of course, and
thanks for
the heads up on
the other projects
billymg: NPCs and SJWs everywhere not sure whether
to be outraged
that it's satire or
take it seriously and be outraged at its "religious discrimination"
lobbes: definitely no shortage of work around
these parts
lobbes: billymg:
ty for
the offer. however
ticker functionality will be intimately married
to
the auction database, so I'm going
to want
to own
that completely. However, auxiliary logs for
the various chans is something in demand (#pizarro, for example, just has
the one logotron atm).
That being said,
there may be more pressing needs in
the general
tmsr conveyor
lobbes: for some reason 'bleached skin' and 'hot desert sun' don't go well
together in my mind O-o
Mocky: it's funny
to see "face whitening cream" on
the grocery shelf next
to shaving cream and
tooth brushes. i always assumed it was just michael jackson and brown chicks with dark blemishes wanting
to bleach skin
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, finally got off ass made new header. jesus christ
this
thing.
lobbes: Mocky: congrats on
the cool air
lobbes: asciilifeform: ayup. but it doesn't matter if actually works even. just needs
to 'look like it works'
to whichever group of agents
lobbes: aha
that seem familiar
a111: Logged on 2017-04-11 00:21 asciilifeform: i can see a legit pov for
the 'no sql' folx. 'you will NOT introduce programmerolade into our process flow, creating work for maggots like yerself and marrying our corp
to your lazy and entitled arse' approx.
billymg: lobbes: i might be able
to help with
that if you're looking for hands, but i
think i first need
to spend a few weeks getting comfortable with V before i'll be of much use
lobbes: so everyone forced
to use
lobbes: but yeah, also it one of
the few
things 'execs' can wrap
their head around
Mocky: working with programmers is hard,
they constantly
tell you why all your ideas are
terrible, if any business person who can self
teach vb / php can deliver "value"
to manager without pesky programmer problems
lobbes: "we need
to automate reporting." "well data is split across 10,000 sources" "idk, do it anyway"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 16:05 BingoBoingo: In other news,
today is pizarro invoicing day and hanbot's auction closed per "<lobbesbot> AUCTION # 367 has ENDED: 500usd via WU SOLD
to BingoBoingo for 76mn coppers. Attn: hanbot" leading
to a price of 6579 usd/BTC
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:21 billymg: lobbes: what does
the
tickerbot entail?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:16 Mocky: I've met a
ton of excel lovers who
think php is fantastic. seems
to appeal greatly
to a certain
type

to a retarded girlfriend
trying
to flood your apartment,
that not only opens all
the faucets and stops all
the drains, but also
takes
the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing
the water pipes, so she can
then preciously inform you
that "turning off
the faucets won't help" and you must work with her
to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen
TV so as
to navigate
the marshy

mircea_popescu: if you look into
the
templarte, you'll see it's very flat, as in, most of
the non-variable content is quoted literals.
billymg: what about
the various wordpress "caching" plugins?
billymg: ah, i
thought you meant
the final visual output
mircea_popescu: and it's all
the customizing anyone can
take, im sure.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the point re "redesign" is sound. i comissioned
the
theme 10 years ago, never really changed it. rolling daily headers came kinda midway, but it literally is one line.
Mocky: yeah, pretty far down
the list
mircea_popescu: i don't see
that it does ; nor is ram expensive enough
to justify work.
