jhvh1: BingoBoingo: tiny dancer :: "Tiny Dancer" is the name given to (and used when spoken about in public or otherwise) the 1/2 erection that can be grabbed at the base and twirled around, thus becoming
a "tiny dancer." [ex:] "So who wants to go play frisbee?""I do, but wait until my Tiny Dancer goes away." [/ex] | 1.)

mircea_popescu: was
a time when data was
a lot more valuable, basically on account of the world not yet consisting of the www pressed shitboard. in that world of little valuable data, having any chunk "lost in the pipes" would have appeared typically soviet wasteful bureaucratism.
doppler: asciilifeform: POSIX sure seems to result in
a lot of braindamage
trinque: folks that want
a charitable interpretation of these might ponder
a while re: who has the most time / resources to shitgnominate
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: of course i do. i meant, i see it here, too, and agree. but, yeah, 'tis
a big problem
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: complexity is
a the self-justifying disease of the programmer's mind
trinque: cat thread is by now
a yearly tradition
Framedragger: "Note if the input may return short reads as could be the case when reading from
a pipe for example, ‘iflag=fullblock’ will ensure that ‘count=’ corresponds to complete input blocks rather than the traditional POSIX specified behavior of counting input read operations." OK
mircea_popescu: except for any time you try to use them, i find they are fine too! like one of those comedic toolboxes with
a hammer that's seemingly attached except if you pick it up the metal falls off etc.
mod6: i'll try that next time i run
a test.
mircea_popescu: as
a general policy, when doing things of this nature (publishing intertesting stuff in forum) keep the whole echafaudage for day+ while people comment.
mod6: i'm up for
a full re-eatblock. just want to make sure I'm not missing anything this time :]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly time to re-do this whole eatblock instrumentation with
a per-line timing profiler.
mod6: thanks
a LOT to diana_coman who helped me :]

☟︎ mats: Framedragger: came up in
a discussion re: dprk engagement, regarding how one might 'error correct' to prevent conflict spiraling
trinque: mostly, it's 1) start from
a musltronic stage3 (they're present on the mirrors in iirc "experimental") and 2) install layman, add musl overlay
lobbes: Wow, that makes sense all of
a sudden
lobbes: Well, I'm just trying to stand up
a gentoo that'll run trb. Seems like my kernel choice may not be as important as I thought as long as gcc is musltronic?
ben_vulpes: bad bad agitprop masquerading as
a children's book
ben_vulpes: i had
a similar experience recently, asciilifeform
mod6: <+asciilifeform> not
a big deal, read+write ~= total ProcessBlock time << makes sense. stangely, i overlooked that last patch

mircea_popescu: what % of your time last year did you spend in an airplane and what exactly would have happened had you taken
a nap / chatted up random chicks / thought about your nails for the interval.
mod6: aight, lemme work on getting
a post put up here.

a bar in the same block (tom tom's, closed now), so i used to spend
a lot of time in this area
mod6: I'm using the USB-TTL cable that I bought, separate from the one shipped with the fg. There's
a picture of the connection up close in the blog post. It is plugged directly into the computer.
mircea_popescu: someone was making
a visual explorer worked pretty well.

a communal work coffee shop is
a space that advertises itself as
a coffee shop, but mostly consists of permanently parked people with laptops. i'd say about 7-10 years ago it suddenly was hip to work from coffee shop?
mats: workbar event on 'The Art of Giving
a TEDx Talk'
ben_vulpes: relatedly, i recently saw
a pitch for
a very 'colorful' animated tv show (?) that would teach children the basics of html/css/js
phf: i've never been to wework, but 1776 is lulzy. last time i was there they had
a talk "difficulties facing female CEOs" to

☟︎ phf: i think you had office share for
a long time (places like Regus), then around early hackernews you had the whole "working from coffee shop" fad. some places started recognizing the fad and catering to that crowd. at some point somebody had an "idea" to update office share image by adding the necessary signaling of the work from coffee shop "culture". actually this coffee shop i'm at (

a machine for typing on, and producing content, not for consuming content... Even now, nearly 30 years after production, it still works perfectly. The larger capacity modern rechargeable AA cells means that four of these will keep it running for weeks. Astonishing battery life compared with modern devices.'
