mp_en_viaje: and if you must have, at least don't sign
mp_en_viaje: "young men" aka men without history, that's what's there : you can only take for your own the past of another if you don't have much past of your own.
mp_en_viaje: it wasn't much divergent from his own personal past ; but it was well divergent from everyone else's.
mp_en_viaje: it helps if one doesn't attempt to simultaneously live and exist within a "society", ie a list of bad "no" answers to fundamental questions.
mp_en_viaje: much like ceausescu, you know ? there he finds himself, among young men for once. for once in a logn while. and he still, he doesn't quite see how it'll go. he's surrprised by the chain of events. i dunno, seems fucking obvious.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, the queen didn't take it back anwyays, iirc.
mp_en_viaje: (the joke : don't think ; but if you must think don't say ; but if you say at least don't write ; and if you write do not sign. but if you sign -- don't be surprised)
mp_en_viaje: they didn't have pensions back then iirc.
mp_en_viaje: which it was. but neither bouch, nor anyone else "accused" or "under suspicion" during the proceedings -- all of them his friends, incidentally, the gilkes making dubious passive-agressive comments in the vein of "knowing how treacherous a thing cast iron is, but if an engineer gave me such a thing to make I should make it without question, believing that he had apportioned the strength properly" had been his partner for thirty years at t
mp_en_viaje: he didn't remain in liverpool, but he returned home, and with a merry gang of equally enthusiastic entrepreneurs an' worldchangers he set out to... change the world.
mp_en_viaje: the greeks didn't have metal casting so never did that.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-08#1954513 << this is not a problem peculiar to that particular corner, either. people who write, write. people who don't write, don't write. the two aren't really the same thing, you can give some rope so type-1 individuals finding themselves in a type-2 tradition renounce and extricate themselves. but that's about as far as it goes.
diana_coman: it's the first time I manage to crash nano like this but I suppose it won't be the last time.
mp_en_viaje: the other node of the argument, to be perfectly fair, is that a lang editor that ~doesn't~ auto-tabulate is thereby broken ; and perhaps the case stands that a language wherein this can't be done -- is also broken.
mp_en_viaje: it isn't a huge problem, which is why it wasn't particularly resolved, then. or i guess now. or ever be
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I don't know re that as such; ie I don't mind it either way, whether \t or space, I don't see it as a huge problem.
diana_coman: as I ended up doing a long log-crawl on v-matters because it's still bugging me, I found several discussions on spaces vs tabs but overall I can't tell what the current conclusion is on this: does anyone know?

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-07#1954463 << ahaha beautiful. how was i t?
spyked will admit he doesn't even know how reverse engineering costs can be estimated, most likely due to lack of experience. will ask around, maybe someone in the field can give an idea
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 07:45:04 mircea_popescu: it's only interesting because it's how "bake own hardware" eventually starts ; sure as fuck can't have anything stalled on it.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-06#1954435 <-- I'm not convinced it will, tbh. atm buying an existing corebootable board is a much cheaper alternative (for gpg at least) than supporting a new one, on account of http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-05#1954371 ; might work on the long term when the supplies for e.g. x60 will be exhausted, but even then, trying to make sense of closed t
lobbes: My root issue is really that I haven't been optimizing for the best case in general. Completely separate from that is the issue of my general computer illiteracy. Both of these I can work to cure via diving into ebuilds, so I'll hold steady on this course I reckon
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 22:32:39 lobbes: though tbh, this whole experience makes me think that maybe computers just ain't my thing. Perhaps I ought to think about BingoBoingo's writing for Qntra course a little more instead of this TMSR OS project
dorion_road: I haven't developed it very far past what's in those articles and what we've done to develop JWRD, but seems like there is a medium to long term profit center to establish.
mircea_popescu: it's only interesting because it's how "bake own hardware" eventually starts ; sure as fuck can't have anything stalled on it.
lobbes: well, current saltmine (doing reporting) not only doesn't have awk, nor bash, but is on winblows (no surprise) and no administrative rights to do anything useful on computer). It is comical really. The amount they spend in time/money to do things that could be done with a 5 minute bash/awk (which again, just goes to show that in Incan lands it isn't about actually doing, just looking like doing)
mircea_popescu: (notice, incidentally, how my bash / awk didn't betray me in "if($2 != day)" like your python betrayed you)
lobbes: that may be part of it haha. The more I do learn, the more I realize that I don't like it enough to ~want~ to be in front of a computer all day
mircea_popescu: from what i've seen, most people decide they don't really like computers once they get to know them at all.
lobbes: though tbh, this whole experience makes me think that maybe computers just ain't my thing. Perhaps I ought to think about BingoBoingo's writing for Qntra course a little more instead of this TMSR OS project
mircea_popescu: moreover, a weekend-ish project that didn't complete in three momths ain't gonna complete in a coupla days.
lobbes: weird huh. Possibly I was just implementing it wrong; I haven't looked too much into it tbh. Though I did find a workaround (instead of "<" operator, simply a "<>". I ultimately just need to tell if the days have changed from one line to the next, so that works); re-running my archives into my testblog now. Then I'll be going through with a veeeyyry fine toothed comb
hanbot: priority post, right, where your priorities ain't theirs.
diana_coman: they half-heartedly shove it all back in again ie they didn't steal anything but didn't really pack it either; one of the drive bays' clamp was sticking out of the box even; I took some pics for the lolz but not sure when/if I get around to publish them.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo_: the server finally arrived (and rather surprisingly, since the tracking page had no mention of any delivery date even this morning), thank you; it's been thoroughly pawed and decorated with "border force" tape but they can't hold a candle to you when it comes to packing, clearly.
mircea_popescu: aite, im stopping this. restate your thing properly! by which i mean, fix this one thing ; don't fix the rest of the issues, i've as you've seen meanwhile written bash around it.
mircea_popescu: please tell me you didn't do this systematically for EVERY month, whereby they all start on 2nd ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-12-04 04:37:32 mircea_popescu: lobbes wtf dude, you set ALL of these to 2019-12-03 22:03:06 time ?! didn't we go through an entire discussion of how it should increase monotonically ? gah.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-12-04 04:37:32 mircea_popescu: lobbes wtf dude, you set ALL of these to 2019-12-03 22:03:06 time ?! didn't we go through an entire discussion of how it should increase monotonically ? gah.

BingoBoingo: Of course the fact that Colombianas don't end up in Uruguay seems like it may be a testament to their hotness
mircea_popescu: i've met plenty of 20yo nominally male old women. haven't you ?
mircea_popescu: yeah ; but they're very consistent with all the other magics that don't exist outside old woman skull. they work just like jesus, for one thing.
BingoBoingo: AHA. The fixed lens really beats the thing into uselessness. The fictional "enhance image" tools the magic produced for Old women CSI magician police shows use... don't exist.
mircea_popescu: 1080 px (ie, just enough to MAYBE be able to identify ~something~, say 50% of the time, given you have neither iris nor crystalline, meaning your camera's fixed lens, doesn't adjust for either depth of field or luminance) will produce 1mb per color PER FRAME. if there's 10 frames in the second and 24 hours in the day, why,
mircea_popescu: the cameras everywhere are there for stupid old women to shut the fuck up already, they don't really do so much -- in the rare instances they actually have film. which -- it's fuckingexpensive, the camera revolution happened just as the ssds came in. do the math if you will :
BingoBoingo: http://archive.is/60SGP << And the local establishment wankstream press is finally catching up to Qntra on the background of the rebellious youth now that they've been cycled through their house arrest hearings. It also appears that for all of the money spent on cameras and other theatrics... the cameras aren't good enough to offer images capable of actually identifying anyone at night.
hanbot: plenty moar than 6. i suppose it's possible i failed to get an @ in there...but i don't think so. ofc i don't have much of a way to go back and review.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-02#1954082 - no changes really; on looking at it, that error was thrown on too-short/missing email/name so possibly that's what happened? At any rate, since I don't care about email really, I took the check on email out so please try again and let me know if it's still missbehaving (my testing comments all went through fine, from different machines & IPs).
mircea_popescu: i don't really know anyone who both a) is technically literate and b) thinks post 2015 intel chips are actually worth money, as it happens. a situation eerily reminiscent of every other socialism's progress, late sovok folk similarily didn't think late sovok artefacts worth deploying.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'd rather this didn't end up with a tmsr motherboard.
dorion_road: mircea_popescu grub may be required if EFI systems are supported. I don't know if lilo is worth saving or if grub for everything is the better choice.
mircea_popescu: you don't specifically want both lilo and grub, or do you ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 14:49:29 mircea_popescu: dorion, it'd prolly be a good idea to take your own trackbacks out of the (independently --VERY SHORT) recent comments toolbar. i can't tell what's going on
dorion_road: I don't yet know exactly how they're to be beat, that's for the owner to investigate, report back on the cost/benefits of various decisions and publish his vpatches.
BingoBoingo: It is a small sadness that it looks like I'll be leaving Uruguay just as it starts to get interesting, but... the local vandals don't seem to have discovered how to make "ninja rocks" outta ceramic insulators.
BingoBoingo: Lol, this country doesn't have an actual walmart. It has small chains of "hypermercados" run by board members of Walmart and Walmart-likes that they use to play around and learn more about this sorta cattle troughing.
BingoBoingo: Last I looked into it they brought at a minimum an additional ~GB of RAM consumption and ~2-50% of CPU utilization as a "Don't copy this floppy" deterrent that forces everyone to download the version with that shit cut out.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, (adjusted and) answer't your comment.
mircea_popescu: then i was going to say something like : lobbes, can you get me the result of <? ?> and give out php code to dump directly, but I notice things such as "<br><table>" as article headings, instead of the correct <table style="font-size:1em;width:580px;">" and so i assume the middle <td> doesn't carry the required class="breakup" either.
diana_coman can't quite believe that.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-30 20:26:57 mircea_popescu: spyked, one annoying part about your blog's implementation of footnotes is that they don't tooltip the content. which sucks.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953986 <-- approved, I'll be away today, so will answer tomorrow. otoh, 2014 /me had much less of an idea about politix in software than nao (didn't even start reading the logz back then). e.g. my lunix conference run fails to cover the broken parts I saw there and couldn't properly verbalize at the time
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't yet speak Korean. Some cases take more digging than others, but places to shove my solicitation are being found.
mircea_popescu: spyked, one annoying part about your blog's implementation of footnotes is that they don't tooltip the content. which sucks.
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22error%3A+%27thd_lib_detected%27+undeclared%22&t=ffsb&ia=web << in other lulz.
mircea_popescu: it's really the same conditional, shouldn't it rather be and comment_type = comment' ?
mircea_popescu: i guarantee you it'd have taken anyone else > 30 minutes to figure the shit out. just because you have the massiva advantage of perfect familiarity doesn't mean so much,
mircea_popescu: arguably a press + vdiff + test press + sign shouldn't be half an hour, but it seems to me by now we're trying to measure the measuring tool, it's not even clear the measurement tolerance is narrower than the width of that "shouldn't". by how much shouldn't it be half hour.
mircea_popescu: now, that time shouldn't be excessive ; but 20 minutes hardly strikes me as excessive, dunno, is the argument here ?
mircea_popescu: honestly it doesn't seem to me the breakdown you have is unreasonable. it will take some time to write things up. this time SHOULD be taken, there's no benefit from "oh, let me mention things vaguely and anti-usefully in the log", it's worse than nothing, it's a cost upon the future.
diana_coman: maybe that is true though I think it shouldn't be.
diana_coman: and then ofc something stares me in the face but I can't yet even fully scope it, gah.
mircea_popescu: jfw, after all, if q = a + b and p = a + c and r = b + c then q + p - r = 2a. if as are addresses and qs are wallets, one needn't ~declare~ his wallet to count his money.
jfw: mircea_popescu: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953825 - I think I do now: the ideal node would be able to readily list outputs and thus balances, and perhaps also history, for any given list of addresses, statelessly. Like a block explorer that didn't suck.
diana_coman: ah, could be but if I get to that, might as well fix the recent comments too or it ain't worth the gpged, lol.
mircea_popescu: dorion, it'd prolly be a good idea to take your own trackbacks out of the (independently --VERY SHORT) recent comments toolbar. i can't tell what's going on
mircea_popescu: and 2) really gotta genesis, both the script so people DO have a sane way to make edits, and the sources, so we don't depend on randotards keeping whatever software package online.
diana_coman: hm, looking now at it, there doesn't seem to be a pingback on trinque's article from mine despite my linking it; weird.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 03:31:50 diana_coman: spyked: doesn't feedbot report comments in order? it just reported in pm 3 comments on an article in reverse order (and a couple of hours late by the looks of it)
mircea_popescu: trinque, weirdly, deedbot never said anything in response to me verifying http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-28#1953791 ; wasn't it supposed to ?
spyked: diana_coman, no, not really. just didn't add the extra list reverse in the right place.
diana_coman: the spec doesn't say more than "queue" there.
spyked: well, it doesn't look at comment numbering or anything. also, it doesn't make any distinction between comments and posts, it's just feed entries, as per the spec
diana_coman: spyked: comments are numbered, yes; and ah, I hadn't noticed it was down.
spyked: diana_coman, it was down until just now. and no, it doesn't guarantee any order, though that's prolly an easy fix, should push them to the queue in the other order.
diana_coman: spyked: doesn't feedbot report comments in order? it just reported in pm 3 comments on an article in reverse order (and a couple of hours late by the looks of it)
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953652 << this is true. I'm wary about bringing down snr, but refraining altogether also ain't a solution I suppose. Careful derailment
BingoBoingo: The banana democracy thing applied to Uruguay seems to credit it, unwarrantedly with a banana capable climate it doesn't have. Uruguay's literally a moo-cow democracy.
mircea_popescu: also, EVERY woman looked derpier when she just met me vs when she had known me for a while. EVERY ONE. and i don't mean a little derpier, arguably derpier etc.
BingoBoingo: If they locked Mujica up after shooting him half a dozen times in the 70's they probably aren't going to start now.
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/11/apple-recognizes-russian-claim-to-crimea-still-hasnt-bought-russia/ << Qntra -- Apple Recognizes Russian Claim To Crimea, Still Hasn't Bought Russia
jfw: Besides proprietary GPU drivers there are other "traditional Linux" things not likely to run on musl with any amount of futzing, such as compiled non-static binaries (proprietary apps, the Adacore GNAT distribution) and "enterprisey" thinks like authentication plugins; I can't speak to whether we should care about these.
jfw: My view of musl is that it's substantially smaller and cleaner than glibc, but still has a substantial rate of bugfixes mixed in with feature additions. My sense is that many of these are in the area of threading / concurrency, for which they wrote a new implementation of the userspace part, and also an area I'm less familiar with though wouldn't mind improving on.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: fwiw that panamaservers thing failed my very initial filtering hence I didn't even bother jfw or dorion_road about it and the thing with customer service and support doesn't sound that great to me either.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953664 << I don't know that datacenter in particular. I can ask around though, Panama is small. I'd offer to pay a visit to their office if I was in town.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-06 23:08:07 trinque: and you have fewer men than you'd like, and I'm not going to pretend to be 20, and then cry when I fail at it. that's why I said I'm looking at kernel + busybox for my own stack. even it isn't human-sized, but it's about two orders of magnitude less twine and shit than "standard linux distro"
mircea_popescu: i don't mind, that's for sure.
