mircea_popescu: that i'd rather he had a sane woman to take him to the hospital.
asciilifeform: ( the other, obligatory naggum re subj, http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3233532779857997@naggum.net.html , i.e. 'is your work expensive and uncertain because you drill 5km into ocean floor
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 00:49 mircea_popescu: i know some clits i don't mind pushing 707 times.
asciilifeform: phf: i'm still curious re with what you replaced emacs.
mircea_popescu: "i'm annie" "from anna ?" "no, from аникей"
mircea_popescu: i wish someone here made a garage band so i could write lyrics for them.
mircea_popescu: i know some clits i don't mind pushing 707 times. ☟︎
asciilifeform: usually when i end up picking up entirely new system ( most recently -- ada )
asciilifeform: fwiw i turn a knob or two in .emacs , every other year or so.
asciilifeform: and i've no interest in not having SLIME
asciilifeform: phf: this is not untrue, but i'll be damned if i EVER consider hitting a key 70times in a row, a legitimate part of life, ever.
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. ☟︎
phf: i've been reflecting on the implications of that point with one of the effects that i stopped using emacs (a while ago).
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1630030 << we had a thread where mp's said something like "i don't have rsi because i'm literate". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in the same vein : new dork (at least i've not seen him before) with apparent delusions of "management" at place i normally frequent. i tell him to bring me a dozen empanadas para llevar. he... didn't understand, at first, then on second pass told me to go to "the different counter", then got invited to go search for his mother's cunt, which rendered him apoplectic. /me went to other place down the street he also frequents, g
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah i have like one per machine over here :D
phf: i misspelled something in btcbase search and was surprised when it didn't "search instead for ..." me.
asciilifeform: anyway it isn't a 'replacement for emacs', and serious emacsists do sometimes spit, 'i can do this from TRAMP' etc.
ben_vulpes: i go yell at whoever sent me that garbage
ben_vulpes: once i have a grasp on sentences, grammar, i can probably get pronounciation with a few hours of teevee
ben_vulpes: i kind of don't care how to pronounce the shit, reading far more important to me now
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when i say single-key -- i mean single motherfucking F-key.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ah i thought you wanted translit.
asciilifeform: on most days i spend ~= time in it, as in emacs.
ben_vulpes: i thought that was like a file browser or some such
ben_vulpes: ohey trinque i know you're busy but you can link to transactions in mimisbrunnr now: http://mimisbrunnr.cascadianhacker.com/blocks/456445#8ce75d1a1e4eaed104a752b92f328bd3d9bb29b66ba7384b0b9dc78319ec01a8
lulcoinz: trb specifically (I know what a btc node is)
lulcoinz: if there is a god, I don't think he gives a shit my (or anyone elses) prayers :)
lulcoinz: i'm not the religious type, i'm more agnostic
ben_vulpes: shinohai: i saw that and laughed uproariously
asciilifeform: ( anyone here tried trb on bigendian ? i -- have not )
asciilifeform: somewhere. i found it on a chalkboard, in uni.
asciilifeform: (i forget, where)
mircea_popescu: "i don't give a shit about rutherford's labels" dun reduce to "there were none" except in your own frame.
asciilifeform: 'one time we got lost in the woods, and i was afraid that i would have to eat Tippy. then we were rescued, and i put Tippy back into the fridge, next to the other sandwiches.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: (i wonder if stevejobs ever claimed 'we ain't got any nonreplaceables')
asciilifeform: somehow i suspect that when mircea_popescu gets into an airplane, he would like to find that it has triply- or higher- redundant avionics system, rather than 'oh it is redundant because if this one goes down, there will be another plane, with some other bloke in it, some other day, dun worry.'
asciilifeform: trinque: uniquely bad example, ww1+2 put a very permanent, i suspect, hole through 'euro civilization'
trinque: I dunno what changes there distinct from you falling asleep in one spot, being moved 5ft over, and waking up
asciilifeform: (i'd quite happily walk into the mythical teleporter, for instance.)
asciilifeform: some folx have finicky and easily bothered 'senses of identity'. not i
asciilifeform: 0 to do with the psychiatric 'i'm speshul!' tho.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on contemplation, the need-radiation organisms are probably bacteria. i imagine it figures heftily in the "endless adaptability of life on earth" for anything with short (subweek ?) cycles. from coprophyta to drosophila, most of the biomass.
trinque: but I don't think the person's reasoning involves their uselessness
ben_vulpes: likelihood of earthquakes makes for robust buildings where i live
trinque: I can't think of any better use for that.
asciilifeform: btw i recently heard that the 'last radium gurl' died in 2014. apparently there are folx who are unkillable even by it.
mircea_popescu: look at all the "bitcoin ceos". i ask them this... and they think... i insulted them.
mircea_popescu: nah. "i'm totally worth it ; because i'm just that good ; because i'm special ; because i'm too dumb to realise how trite i am."
asciilifeform: 'because oooh hey i need to paint my lips again'
mircea_popescu: "where can i find a guy who is safe to work in a datacenter ?" "where 1% of the 1% gather", doublespoken as "for 100k a year".
asciilifeform: i am still thinking about the 'radium girls' mircea_popescu . for some reason most 'left'-flavoured historians don't mention the fact that they were paid 2-3x the market rate for 'generic unskilled gurl'
mircea_popescu: i do not believe so.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the reason was petro->chickenfeed conversion and economics of scale.
trinque: I haven't one, is why
phf: both trinque and bingoboingo are bsd people, so that's probably why. i ran linux on g3-g5 2000-2010
asciilifeform: i don't even presently have 1.
ben_vulpes: upstack, trinque asciilifeform y'figure the g5's will only take a bsd? i've got a pile of links for 'linux on g5', but have yet to start sucking the spittoon down. would rather know if actually impossible up front.
phf: relatedly, aquaria is a neat action adventure for ipad. i think that's the only ipad game i actually enjoyed, though it's not particularly creative. swim around enjoy pretty art
mircea_popescu: i think it's 50 now
asciilifeform: i thought ben_vulpes was the iphonist
asciilifeform: iirc (again when i last had a crapple dev acct) there was a limit, was it, 100 (?) boxes of 'sideload' per acct.
asciilifeform: in every case it is the luser who breaks (by 'ooh i'ma UPDATE!111')
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i suppose that's what they tell "investor" suckers to get them to pay out.
ben_vulpes: "i'm going to put a fun thing on your phone. apple will break it within the month, because they're assholes."
trinque: I played through wizards and warriors on ipnoje
ben_vulpes: nevertheless, the response is "holy fuck, i haven't had this much fun playing games on my phone...ever!"
ben_vulpes: i'm in the habit of installing gb/gba emulators on my friends ipnohes
trinque: I do not
trinque: the "social media 'gaming'" thing though, was large part them. many of their games bolted directly to facebook, i.e. inside the thing
mircea_popescu: trinque not an expert other than by need ; but i suspect zynga is a different strand. these are the azn "fantasy" offerings, wanna-be d2 and h3, by the looks of them.
asciilifeform: 'i want to click on the pirate, not the beer mug'
asciilifeform: i tried once to play various 'scummvm' classics on a patched ipad, it was blergh
asciilifeform: in just about every case 'i wish i had a mouse, why is my cursor finger-sized'
asciilifeform: i haven't met a likable touchpad game, yet
asciilifeform: i actually have ~0 idea what specifically supports the 'mainstream' commercial existence of the ipad. (as in the old ebay thread with mircea_popescu , it turns out that asciilifeform's uses for various items are often quite nonstandard )
mircea_popescu: so gtarcade -> r2games -> paymentwall -> paypal/qiwiwallet/unipin wallet/webmoney/indomog/cherry credits/mycard/mol (money online -- fucking george constanza lives i swear) and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: 3. the "payment platform" (all of these work on micropayments, obv) is a wrapper style thing (say, paymentwall, but there's at least 500 entirely identical items vying for a pie $lice with absolutely no distinction whatsoever) processes cards and also links to a pile of... i don'\t even know what these are. looks a lot like the silver age of porn really, early 2000s, where the various paysites kept trying to push each other.
mircea_popescu: i thnk i must've.
mircea_popescu: i'm losing my edge!
mircea_popescu: then i noticed it didnt say stripper.
mircea_popescu: i first read "next to a stripper"
asciilifeform: tru, classier. perhaps i can be shot in a proper saloon, next to a spittoon.
asciilifeform: i can get shot for free here!111
trinque: I have a feeling you'd tolerate the people a bit moar than DC
asciilifeform: one of these days i must go there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd own a dump truck with a crane -- if had where to keep it.
trinque: holy shit I just said
asciilifeform: but not only do i actually pay per kWatt/hr here (in summer time : TWICE: again to remove the waste heat!) and have quite limited space, but there are only so many p3 you can hang off ups.
asciilifeform: i'm sure it does
asciilifeform: ( do you pick up p3 when someone throws out ? i -- no longer do )
trinque: moving downtown though, so maybe I can get something a little less barbaric
mircea_popescu: trinque i got some 100 MBps pipes, but yeah, can't just pop a random 50 whatever from radio shack on me
asciilifeform: trinque: for 'microscopic task but needs own box', i prefer something more like pogo, which is fanless, solidstate, and zero-maintenance. vs ancient clunking monster , howling like vacuum cleaner and filled with dying mechanical hdds
trinque: I've found uses for them, but also have several of the g5 towers and the imac g5
asciilifeform: i threw out my g4s.
asciilifeform: i can entirely see mexicans taking a specific-something.
trinque: ah I could see the same thing as turkey and EU with mexico down the road
asciilifeform: trinque: understand, i would much ~like~ to find something stimulating, inside that arse
trinque: "I have to stare into this thing's asshole 8 hours a day"
