mircea_popescu: if one were
to
take
this
tack, couldn't even
turn on computer, gotta fix desk first
to be even smoother.
mircea_popescu: trilema ran for a decade on a lamp stack
to no serious detriment.
mircea_popescu: honestly php seems a problem
that least needs fixing right now.
billymg: Mocky: sort of a hand-rolled "static site generator"? i've used jekyll in
the past and from what i remember
this is how it worked
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:20 asciilifeform: put
the dressing in blog.ads as constants and be done with it. when erry couple of yrs you feel like
twiddling
the bg colour or somesuch -- it's a 10sec recompile, wat.
billymg: lobbes: what does
the
tickerbot entail?
☟︎ Mocky: only rarely fiddled with if you have actual
things
to do, fiddled endlessly when activity substitutes for usefulness
Mocky: I've met a
ton of excel lovers who
think php is fantastic. seems
to appeal greatly
to a certain
type
☟︎ Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi
to python for comments
☟︎ lobbes: would be a nice luxury
to have. Every
time I've used php, I wished I wasn't using
lobbes: asciilifeform: aa yea.
this is
true
lobbes: perhaps one of
these promising noobs can
take on..
lobbes: oy
the price history stuff
too,
tickerbot
lobbes: on my conveyor, absolutely. I still need
to 1) finish de-heathenizing lobbesbot's functions 2) redo #eulora logs 3) get auxiliary #pizarro logs up 4) probably something I'm forgetting
lobbes: it would be an interesting project
to learn some basic ada with
lobbes: hm interesting. I
too have hands
tied up but have been meaning
to get a few chapters of ffa under my belt. I'll jot
this idea down for far off in
the conveyor if someone else doesn't get
to it first (and by all means, Someone: feel free
to beat me
to
this punch)
lobbes: though nowadays
the rockchip kernels in
the pizarro plant have iptables enabled, so you now have a couple of options for crossing
that bridge if you come
to it
lobbes: hey nice work on
the mp-wp guide billymg
deedbot: BingoBoingo rated billymg 1 <<
The New Yorker
BingoBoingo: It's Brasil, discerning whether or not
they registered is probably a six month process
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "unregistered foreign influence agent" being
the specialist
term.
billymg: i.e.
the part where i get stuck fighting with portage while
trying
to install php
billymg: i realized while writing
that
the middle portion sort of veers away from "guide" and more into "retrospective" format but figured it would be best
to just get something out for people
to read/comment on
billymg: i also made some very minor
tweaks
to
the default
theme's css, mostly for my own sake
billymg: i have billymg.com as well but i'm not sure if
that's what i want
to use yet

the first
try was !!pay BingoBoingo 2
Mocky: also, central air units don't feed
the chumpatron. room units: huge market constantly
turning, repairmen "fixing", "workers" installing, refurbishers
mircea_popescu: (this wouldn't be a very high standard clean room, but 80s level
tech quite achievable. whole shtick is
to have
the controlled airlflow, pressurizing
the room.)
mircea_popescu: but with current
tech, and given airplant already
there, making a den into a clean room is entirely hobby budget.
mircea_popescu: if you didn't have
that infrastructure, you might balk at buying it just for a hobby.
mircea_popescu: i mean, since you have
the pumping infrastructure, costs comparatively little
to isolate one room and do w/e in
there, microscopy.
mircea_popescu: how would ac unit solve
the problem of unwashed co-dweller ? seems
the application for
that is a lock rather.
Mocky: maybe qataris have central air and only orc horde has room units, haven't been
there yet
mircea_popescu: "but mp, why would anyone want
that!!" "i dunno, same reason anyone would want a large icebox" "inconceivabru.
the global market for cars is maybe 12 units."
mircea_popescu: Mocky
the other humongo advantage of getting a central air plant instead of
the piddly shits is
that
THEN you can get clean room at no extra cost.

there are some important
things
that are going
to be brought
to life by
the republic and sure as shit
they aren't gonna wait for Qatar
to buy in. rather, if
the outward appearance is correct and
there are men of valor here who can recognize
the opportunity
then
this will be
their chance
to play host
to some business and profit exactly
to
the degree of
their continued valor and foresight and not one riyal more
Mocky: qataris have maid, nanny, gardener, driver,
tutor, butler pretty sure one could have 'change filter' on worklist
mircea_popescu: feels kinda like having
the perfect joke for a set-up and
then... not using it.
BingoBoingo: Qatar sounds like
the perfect place
to use swamp coolers
mircea_popescu: that's
the
thing, dry air is SO
the perfecvt appliocation here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not
there.
they don't even have moths,
there.
mircea_popescu: perfect way
to ruin 500k in gear, by "forgetting" about 50 bucks maintenance.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 19:18 Mocky:
the regular spots are mostly 5 star hotels on
the water. St. Regis,
The Four Seasons,
The Pearl Qatar & Medina Centrale. Also
there's some pickup beach volleyball at katara beach on fridays once
the day cools off
mircea_popescu: cuz what
the fuck maintenance does it need, jaysus.
they come encapsulated, like modern engines.
BingoBoingo: The mall actually has central air, but it is still
turned
to produce heat
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
There is one rooftop unit for every indoor unit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is so fucking dumb omg. central air costs 2x
to install and 0.5x
to run for
the lifetime of
the
thing. A DEGREE OF MAGNITUDE SAVINGS
a111: Logged on 2018-10-21 19:58 Mocky: so far so good. gotta see how well I fit in at
these 5 star hotels
a111: Logged on 2018-10-21 19:21 Mocky: yup, but seems like central air in homes is pretty rare. wallmounted units are
the
thing, with compressors on
the roof.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-21 19:18 Mocky: no, i'm subletting a room via airbnb from a nigerian who rents it from someone who also sounds african on speakerphone. and
thankfully unseasonably cool with now 2 years worth of rain in
the last 2 days
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't ask why.
The bearded fellow behind
the counter who looked as
though he could have been cast as an above average banana republic general in Hollywood promptly shut her up dispensed
the product.
Mocky: re blockchainers, im going
to
try
to get
them
to schedule an event with me as
the speaker
Mocky: I'm going
to
try buying a benjie's worth from one and selling it
the other just
to meet
them
