shinohai: I suppose BU feels that tmsr members must secretly support the blockstream agenda as well.

mircea_popescu: i suppose i needn't point out the correct verbal tense'd have been "the teen HAD disappeared". no tense left behind!

ben_vulpes: i must be a bad person to even be thinking about the ethnicities involved

shinohai: I'm blocked from commenting on Bitcoin Unlimited code :/

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yep, i expect that's exactly correct.

asciilifeform: 'No idea if I'm right but it looks like that just attacks pruned nodes.'

mircea_popescu: shinohai i'm sure they'll "professionally" "handle" etc.

Framedragger: nah i think it's innocent, it's just full of junk, e.g. http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ACKJH/?raw=true

Framedragger: anyway sample file's here https://commoncrawl.s3.amazonaws.com/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171232.43/crawldiagnostics/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00529-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz but in fact i may just be mistaken with regards to how commoncrawl works. maybe i'm supposed to be seeing random junk for a particular requested site

ben_vulpes: on one hand, i suppose the peasants may do whatever to each other. on the other, how dare you rob me of still-productive flesh?

danielpbarron: shinohai, is this the set up to a joke? I don't know that there is a gender restriction imposed in the Bible

asciilifeform: iirc hangings were declared (i shit thee not) 'too sexy'

asciilifeform: trinque: i am rather fond of the thing they had in ye olde american south, 1950s, portable electric chair truck ( most towns were, apparently, too poor to afford their own permanent one )

shinohai: W...W...Where am I ?

trinque: in fact I saw one of these get pulled over immediately after. was pretty great

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cabs in usistan are peculiarly expensive, i still have nfi why. it's the thing that ultimately spawned crackpot chumpatrons ('uber', 'lyft', etc)

danielpbarron: i don't slow down for 'em

trinque: I wouldn't mind if the whole thing worked that way

mircea_popescu: i guess it'll have to do!

danielpbarron: i oppress them in a non violent way: I pass on the right. I don't let people follow behind me, or to my side. when I pass, I get it over with. and I never try to look at the people in the cars, which i've been told by people who do that it causes them to become apoplectic

phf: ever since playing Quarantine, i thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to make highways lawless zones

trinque: I dunno if this is even a thing elsewhere

trinque: I think they qualify if you're close enough behind

phf: i jumped a fence while drunk in georgetown once, during my college years, was invited for a glass of bourbon and a chat by the owner. "i was a rufian, like you, young boys, once"

asciilifeform: ( but oddly enough, even a very jumpable, strictly ceremonial fence -- keeps'em on the sidewalk. why -- i do not know. )

asciilifeform: for whatever reason (could be from plantation days? i have nfi) plebes are not managed like people in usistan, but more like livestock, they build pens, corrals, for them, this was even the subject of a mircea_popescu article ('embroiled in dealings with the stupid poor', or what was it called)

mircea_popescu: look : if my slavegirl wears a red dress and i dun like it, i go "take that thing off". maybe i don't go anything. but i sure as fuck don't go "oh honey, red dresses aren't good."

mircea_popescu: i mean for him to give them what for.

mircea_popescu: i don't think he forgot.

asciilifeform: i thought east (civilized) china, were wet..

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they were thinking, "we're going to mass industrialize in 1980 AND BUILD ROADS"

asciilifeform: i dun know of 1 toll booth even half of this size, in usa

asciilifeform: that is not, i suspect, what most drivin' folk think of as 'jam'

danielpbarron: if that speed were the speed i want to go then i guess it wouldn't be a problem. but i drive fast

asciilifeform: can't say i've ever seen a jam that looks like 'long strings of cars going exactly the same speed'

mod6: and I ordered a physical box that has the same 2 procs, but has 64gb of ram as opposed to 24gb. just needs few disks.

mod6: well, yeah, i've got a new dedicated box that is trb w/wires and currently syncing from thin air.

mod6: I hung my new 4'x6' whiteboard next to the battlestation last night. 'tis awesome.

shinohai: I found this poor little Dell Inspiron 4150 sitting by a dumpster on my morning walk. Brought it home and the thing actually booted w/Knoppix xD

mircea_popescu: that's why it's there, to not get stuck in traffic. "oh, i got a scrape and then i put disinfectant on it which infected it".

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "where the fuck are you ?" "i'm stuck in traffic on the highway."

Framedragger: test2 (sorry for teh spam, need to make sure i understand issues)

a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 01:09 mircea_popescu: i thought it worked in english.

mircea_popescu: "oh, big whoop, why oppress the niggers! not like i don't have my nice suit or my sane office"

asciilifeform: in other types of leisure reading, 'scientific american' (i recently bought half a century's worth of'em, monster crate) also same types of people

mircea_popescu: basically people'd steal whatever govt office supplies, make a... well i guess a sort of blog, really. 90s.

phf: i briefly used emacs and clisp in dos. as poor man lisp machine as it gets

mircea_popescu: but my jaw dropped when i was shown the wonder.

mircea_popescu: i don't recall right off.

mircea_popescu: i used to use it daily when i used real mode computors for sure.

asciilifeform: i use mc's -- daily

asciilifeform: ( and yes, i wrote kilometres of .bat, like everybody else )

asciilifeform: and yeah , an nc-like proggy can make life on a shell-less os almost tolerable. but (as i described in earlier thread) that is not the only use.

trinque: I'm tempted to fiddle with midnight commander after asciilifeform's mention

phf: trinque: i've been there, i used exwm for a couple of months. there's no end to the rabbit hole when it's made out of bits, is my point

mircea_popescu: i never had that one i dont think

a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 00:44 phf: well, i realized that environment micro optimizations are mostly a waste of time, and that something like emacs is one of the worst offenders.

mircea_popescu: i think i mentioned old dood doing actual mm paper acre sized work at some point.

mircea_popescu: ~everyone i knew using it for srs first composed a string for paper.

mircea_popescu: come to think labout it, the extensive keybindings was the part i enjoyed least about derive.

trinque: I'm over here with emacs as window manager, shit you not.

asciilifeform: (when i used 'idea', 'mathematica' other very spiffy nonemacsen specialized to tasks )

asciilifeform: trinque: i still missed 'hungry backspace', zero-mouse mechanics, and not having to use ibm keystrokes .

trinque: I dunno about the commercial lisp IDE situation but wouldn't surprise me if they're pretty ok

asciilifeform: i found it trinque

a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 21:36 phf: that's another reason, why i don't for example, "hack my python with vim like a real hacker". give me the filthiest, most feature rich IDE, where i can just push spacebar to get half of my scaffolding, or whatever kids these days

asciilifeform: i was intrigued, 'no screws! ze phyootoor'

asciilifeform: ah hmm looks like i misread phf's 'nails, drills, and screws'

asciilifeform: the funny/sad bit is that i loathe emacs.

mircea_popescu: phf i suspect your ride having been identified as possibly gay, you're now to defend your manhood in ARMED COMBAT!

phf: but in structural carpentry by the way they don't use nails, drills and screws. (i have experience with that one, and last time i did a build i don't think we even had a hammer)

ben_vulpes: but i leave this thread

ben_vulpes: from which the other rec which i took derives, "appcode"

asciilifeform: i could bewrong.

asciilifeform: i will take off my hat, if it is so. promise.

asciilifeform: quite srsly, i'd like to know : phf now uses what? 'ed' ? does he still write programs for money ? in commonlisp? in selfsame 'ed' ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: your asking has very little in common with asking and a lot in common with "i'll just make up some random shit within 0.1 s and challenge everyone to prove it wrong"

asciilifeform: how'd i know. hence -- asked.

asciilifeform: could. and so i asked him, because i'd like to see how carpenter goes along without hammer. maybe he found how to convince nails to go into wood by themselves..

asciilifeform: 'i sold my hammer' 'i suppose you are not a carpenter no moar?'

mircea_popescu: i dunno.

asciilifeform: what am i to guess , this means.

asciilifeform: well phf did say 'i replaced $tool-of-trade with Nothing'

phf: i didn't actually quit programming, omg. this is reminiscent of the whisperers thread, where a strawman, once chosen, because the only possible direction of conversation

asciilifeform: but it is disingenuous to say 'i founda Zen Method of programming'

asciilifeform: i don't, note, take issue with folx who quit programming. i aspire to do it one day, myself.

asciilifeform: if there were one of these per six metres of road, i'd consider a tracked vehicle.

asciilifeform: ( there is nothing wrong with getting successful to cocaineyacht stage of life. but i like whenfolx are ~honest~ about it )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have allergy to 'Simplicity! Is Best! Simple life, Simple toolz!!!' folx, who, on examination, are able to carry along in he delusion strictly because they do ~0 nontrivial work with own hands.

phf: i'm not sure where to even start with alf's vitriol, but i've seen this conversations enough to not even try

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't imagine he's proposing you don't use whatever tool you want for whatever job.

mircea_popescu: yes, i understand that man drowning in complexishit may find various straws to help himself keep breather holes above level for a week longer.

phf: who-calls ~what~? ~when~? why am i even asking that question? we're discussing a tool outside of specific problem, which is precisely "harmful habits" manifestation

asciilifeform: 'i picked nose, but cured now, cut off it and fingers'

phf: but otherwise i use whatever. it's sort of like, if you don't have a hammer, you don't go pounding nails when you have nothing btter to do

phf: i sometimes load it to do a macro transform on a particularly gnarly file

mircea_popescu: i have nfi why regrets - noun wouldn't work in a language where regrets - verb in perfective aspect works out of the box and without glue. in romanian it needs glue to work, and you can say "hey, no glue for noun so you can't do that!"

mircea_popescu: it doesn't really work in romanian. i mean, a common honorific for the deceased is "regretatul" ie, the regretted. but that's about as far as that goes.

asciilifeform: but i'm not an inglischman

mircea_popescu: i thought it worked in english. ☟︎
