as much jealous
as amazed :)
nicoleci: diana_coman, your summary does look great! not
as much jealous
as amazed :)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile in wtf : iptables -nL works
as expected ; iptables -Ln does not ; iptables -L -n does not either. dat "unix philosophy".
diana_coman: the knob+time is always and forever
as it was
mircea_popescu: but yes, pretty good both
as to time taken and
as to content produced!
diana_coman: this is not to say that any week would take the same,
as I don't expect it would
mircea_popescu: i doubt the problem's etiquette. seems to me much deeper issue than that, civillian pantsuit expects anything can be taken in "at his own rate" because his personal golden veal promised him there will never be such a thing
as the calling in this world.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-16 04:44 asciilifeform: ( phunphakt to tie this into prev thread -- seems
as if the bolix 3d engine, 1 of the 1st to be sold
as such, still exists
as commercial product, owned by some jp firm. naturally cppized and renamed. )
mircea_popescu: "
As a result, we have decided to turn off the bulletin board while we search for a better product (hopefully one that will allow us to migrate our previous content). Just to let everyone know, we have been working quite busily over the past couple months, and will make announcements of any new product availability
as soon
as it/they become(s) available! "
mircea_popescu: "Bulletin Board
As you may have discovered, our bulletin board has recently been overrun by garbage posts, contributing in part to the crash of the Mirai forum. "
mircea_popescu: no what i'm saying is : poor & stupid kids in peripheral village somehow picked same bit of entirely indistinct and utterly useless&dysfunctional flotsam
as ibm.
mircea_popescu: anyone with even cursory qualifications in software project management could have pointed out they have 0 chances of managing the switch before their chosen platform dies (they took 12+ years to fuck up the original codebase, glacial foss devcycles
as only gnu can exemplify).
mircea_popescu: ~why~ exactly the robohitler chose to act
as if this piece of shit is "the future" for a decade starting cca 2010 is the faint interesting bit in here.
phf: ah, huh, he's an experienced showman, could've probably sold
as a board, without anything else and still fetched the same price
a111: Logged on 2014-01-19 19:38 asciilifeform:
as a boy, i read about an 18th c. book, 'Triple Power over the Forces of Hell'
mircea_popescu: this may then explain "insane" choices such
as boggle naggum.
mircea_popescu: there's also the what to discard, what not to have in there at all (yes there's such a thing
as xray mirror, also some plastics are no good, and so on).
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and read "x ray hygiene"
as a thing, it's not a one liner.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-14 22:53 asciilifeform: ( and really dun need dram at all, the drams on the daughterboard are all connected through period auto-refresher ic that presents
as a sram )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-14 19:33 asciilifeform: reportedly items like this are being orbited ,
as cost-saving measure in place of ye olde saphire semiconductors. but there's ~nuffin publicly written re just how built.
phf: asciilifeform: i worked on tandem for a bit (known by then
as HP NonStop), i appreciated the architecture, but entire software stack was cobol
mircea_popescu: ok, so the idea here is, that while maintaining different code on different boxes is costly and undersirable, nevertheless that is mitigated by the relative ease of the genericization/prototyping mechanism in ada ; whereas single queue model,
as logically tempting
as it may be, is costlier than it seems (not necessarily because insertion can't be o1, but still, machinery involved).
diana_coman: "
as asciilifeform describes" aka 1 item put/get at a time; 2 different queues, one for rsa one for s
diana_coman: i.e. yes, it could have been implemented
as mircea_popescu describes if I didn't aim for this specifically
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, the way I implemented it it's
as asciilifeform says but the reason it is *this* data structure is because of intended use so linked to above
mircea_popescu: "this is needed for the same reason
as the generic at UDP lib previously - to allow one to store Serpent messages or RSA messages while maintaining them clearly differentiated" << why are you putting ducks and geese in the same line though ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, certainly should provide whatever diagnosis tools and equipment you want. i don't want to fill that in yet, it'll... come to you,
as it happens :)
diana_coman: well yes,
as long
as sender/receiver are ultra-thin aka only from/to queue to/from udp lib then no clog expected at socket
diana_coman: doesn't even bother to decrypt or whatnot because anyway it has no info
as to keys and all that
mircea_popescu: diana_coman
as in "the only possible statement of mp's ultimate optimism will be centered around a refusal to believe such, for lack of any other available centers."
diana_coman: since Julian was at my talk on Monday, he now knows something about WoT :D But more to the point: he is so far the one and only Uni lecturer who wants to understand this bitcoin thing
as opposed to just talk about it. So I'm quite happy he's here.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Puede Ser, I haven't given much though to Australia's Kangaroo Courts
as a legal system to get involved in
mircea_popescu: i expect if attempted it'll immediately run into the same problem pizarro is encountering, whereas bois will do ANYTHING WHATSOEVER, no matter how patently stupid and laughing impending beheading in the face, just
as long
as it's NOT "talk to a lot of people".
☟︎ Mocky: no mr. recruiter I don't have experience with Docker,
as fun
as that sounds
mircea_popescu: this is a facet of what i'm saying : rather than have you "look for a girlfriend
as best i can when i perceive i need one", how about you have a ~girl~ look for girlfriends ALL THE TIME, and you can pick one or a few when inclined.
mircea_popescu: and i suspect this fundamental intuition is what drives a lot of high socialism (like high protestantism, the nonsense among intelligent folks,
as opposed to low) -- the intuition that the 1800 notion of money, perfectly adequate
as it is for concretes, utterly fails on abstracts and what one needs is a lot more abstracts than concretes.
mircea_popescu: ie, he wants sufficient claim to fame
as to make the "i'd like to live rather than die" proposition defensible. he doesn't even want money
as such at all
mircea_popescu: he wants ~to be able to get other professionals to help him when he needs it~, he doesn't want "more dough" specifically and
as such.
mircea_popescu: and if you answer this, you necessarily answer "how to value work"
as well
as "what meaning has king's arbitrarity" and so on.
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's a whole other can of intricate strange. i wasn't gonna address it till
as you say, some l1 folks move on.
mircea_popescu: the above "question of valuation"
as well
as the "it'd better make sense" readily translate into "give me resistive loss formula".
mircea_popescu: consider tomorrow emperor of china writes in, wants to give taiwan to republic
as peace gift.
mircea_popescu: given a set of ("the place formerly known
as sudan", "a monopoly on aviation", "the empire state building") and ("has written proper sgml", "heroically reversed bolix stack","found way to write without getting out of bed"), which is the correct matching ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ie, i would propose
as a foundational myth, "avik killed naggum". there's something here. << And he did it for (((packing))) Peanuts!
mircea_popescu: to bring this full circle : the perceived difference between particularizing (doctor) and generalizing (computer scientist) abstract work is entirely hallucinated. the ~only~ way to correctly pay for abstract work is
as allocations from crown.
mircea_popescu: ie, i would propose
as a foundational myth, "avik killed naggum". there's something here.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside my observation of anyone else's experience -- the "here's mp-wp codebase" has not appreciably destroyed something
as far
as i can tell.
mircea_popescu: now let's look at this system : it's not nicole's place to judge her master avik ; separated from this her master avik is a moron. is it our intention that everything should stand
as it fell ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 19:15 asciilifeform: at the risk of repeating ancient thread -- 'the best machine is no machine', it weighs nuffin, needs no maintenance. and the best proggy, is no proggy at all, if a problem can be solved without writing proggy, it ought to be. erry line of coad can be rightfully pictured
as an act of intellectual littering. y'know, like throwing cig butt or bottle on the ground in the park.
mircea_popescu: suppose,
as a thought experiment, we are now in charge of the world. we are to say how it is to be run.
mircea_popescu: the world, not
as a sum, but throughout, each-individual-component-
as-well-
as-all-groups-of-components, is worse off for computers being more accessible thusly.
mircea_popescu: and the thing that truly gets my goat, is that all this inane "simplicity -- computers have to do the work for people" reinterpreted
as "computers have to do the work to compensate for utterly destructured psychogenic noise -- and you have to write the assurance software for the software they run" was only pushed in the first place so "accessible" because then "more people get involved". forgetting all the while that the "peo
mircea_popescu: there's no way out of this, alf : inasmuch
as "math" is not fully alphabetic (
as it isn't, because it includes procedural items
as well
as characters) you WILL HAVE TO add some notation to your "text".
mircea_popescu: but you ~could~ add the actual latex source
as an alt tag on the image, resulting in... searchable, and viewable in [correctly working] lynx.
mircea_popescu: it contains such gems
as "He went abroad with him, and brought home such a return
as was to be expected from kindred honour and well reciprocated use."
mircea_popescu: interesting item, ran for ~200 years up until ww1
as a sorta-kinda republican log. eventually some society of bored folks in utah produced a complete index, like 100 volumes.
mircea_popescu: that said, a svg-centric (
as per prev log discussion) x-only (no gnome/kde/whatever bs) browser will prolly have to be written anyway.
