shinohai: But if you want to shove batteries in me and make me do repetitious tasks, I do enjoy roleplay.
indiancandy: so how do i activate kleo
shinohai: I can be humble servant or cruel taskmaster.
indiancandy: i just duno how to use this
indiancandy: thanks i downloaded kleoptra
a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 18:49 phf: actually funniest "charitable" pretense is some years ago kate michaels raising money for underprivileged kids so that they can play polo. every time i remember it i crack up
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite obviously i do not know bernstein as a human, but can only conjecture, that he felt like a proper rube , ripe for fleecing in orc land.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-15#1603324 << everybody wants 'beautiful sex gurl' but i suppose not everybody wants 'walk off with your wallet gurl' ☝︎
Framedragger: (it's more like them just talking in the film, i must say it is really a nice watch)
mircea_popescu: i certainly spent way more time chatting with whores than fucking them. no regrets.
Framedragger: " The phone rang shortly after I drifted off. No more jet lag; I jumped out of bed and picked up the phone. Now I'll find out who's been calling, I thought. ``Would you like beautiful Russian sex girl?'' a woman asked. ``No, thank you,'' I said. Couldn't you just hand out forms at the front desk? I thought. I went back to sleep. "
phf: actually funniest "charitable" pretense is some years ago kate michaels raising money for underprivileged kids so that they can play polo. every time i remember it i crack up ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this somewhat in the vein of "i want to believe these eggs weren't actually shat by the dumbest thing on the farm."
phf: i want to believe that there's a dusty attic somewhere on upenn campus, grandfathered in of course, with a library and a secret liquor store, where boys wearing ascots meet to discuss their progress at becoming men
phf: i have two or three friends who were proud of their ivy fraternities, and i checked, umd had a chapter for one of them, stopped qualifying sometime in the 80s
phf: i'm pretty sure that whole angle is never going away, at least it was as strong while i was there. one sort of complements the other.
phf: left of the line it runs on campus housing, the three bars where everyone gets shitface and then sororities (i suspect fraternities are also there, but no idea)
asciilifeform: i am looking at this farm through the lens of the farmer, rather than the cow.
mircea_popescu: phf i was thinking, wtf, college for any other purpose than slut magnet ? where's he live.
mircea_popescu: hey, for as long as the fathers of peasants buy into the nonsense dissected in http://trilema.com/2014/a-practical-exercise-for-people-who-cant-afford-airfare/#selection-89.0-93.622 that arrangement is sustainable, i guess.
asciilifeform: where i went, they were mostly in first category.
mircea_popescu: i take the nobody back then. impressive enough.
asciilifeform: (i shit thee not)
mircea_popescu: i can 60% a 4-choice test on any topic in klingon.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it needed any help with that ; by churchill's time england was entirely that already. started in manchester cca 1800s.
mircea_popescu: so as per a) it'd be west virginia (dude got 68.63% o.o) or else the 3rd district of nebraska. as per b) i guess pennsylvania. hold it in harrisburg ftw.
mircea_popescu: fuck you washington dc, i get 4% of the vote you get 96% income slashed off.
mircea_popescu: well logically, wouldn't you go hold your inauguration in either a) the state where you got the highest % or else b) in the state where hillary got the greatest margin below what she expected ? say something like "there's some people in this country who think they're better than everyone else, and i don't want to hang out with them"
mircea_popescu: dude... i had no idea this world was actually so full of important people.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, everyone agrees the us is a colony now, but from that it doesn't exactly follow which bits fall into which spheres of influence does it.
mircea_popescu: http://cascadianhacker.com/2016/02 << check out your pagination (i'd show you exactly where but there's no way to select position in text ; scroll down to first place where there's a hash)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have words from mp's free critique services : 1. too big font, too much whitespace => way too few words in right column ; 2. single utility column => too much scrolling to get articles ; 3 no good structuring of history (and i dun care about your categories enough to want them listed) ; 4. bad idea to put whole article in archive listing, because then you have to paginate the months which defeats the whole point
mats: i suppose the one interesting thing from the confirmation hearing is the stated intention to put the National Guard and various branch Reserve components in a state of readiness as it was in the decade following 9/11
mats: trinque: i read the transcript and it was boring
ben_vulpes: i just updated an article i wrote in 2014
mircea_popescu: in other news, i just got a pingback for an article you published in 2014
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'd seriously say if i had anything useful. but sadly...
ben_vulpes: i hate this thing
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/i-think-they-might-be-overdoing-it-in-places/ << Trilema - I think they might be overdoing it in places.
asciilifeform: btw somebody! recently linked a 'code of conduct' that tried to actually forbid $proggy to infidels...? or did i dream this.
mircea_popescu: i saw a pretty lulzy thing in this vein today, there was a horde of zombies going by an advertising to a tv show about zombies.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 22:14 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the mp-wp blessed method for a custom root page? i've tried writing a front-page.php (which mp-wp didn't eat, suggesting that front-page.php was a post 2.7 introduction? their documentation doesn't do time travel, so the archaeology is tough); and twiddling home.php (but i can't get home.php to behave conditionally depending on whether it's the site root)
shinohai: I'm gonna lol if rumors of Balaji Srinivasan getting a Trump position are true. Just too lulzy.
shinohai: BingoBoingo: was that key correct or did I bork something?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 00:23 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ; moreover i'm talking about a very specific "intellectual" thing. not in any sense intended for mass consumption. intended for perenity.
ben_vulpes: i suppose i could conditionally switch on the url, but i prefer the scalpel or well-chosen wrench to the sledgehammer.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-14#1602989 << bwhahaha i thought they hated zuck because too uncommunist. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: oh fuq i would not like to undertake that project
pete_dushenski: "In reality I'm just hoping that maintenance doesn't end up costing me more then depreciation would over five years ownership of a new minivan."
pete_dushenski: i shoulda been more clear sorry, that part works too. here.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it loads here, i was speaking specifically re archive-yet-unarchived-page function.
asciilifeform: is archive.is 'archive new page' broken ? or i just got lucky 3 times.
indiancandy: i duno what happened
phf: well, some black men refer to me as brother, i don't see any reason not to respond in kind
ben_vulpes: said it before, i'll say it again
phf: if a brother's going to run this country, i want it to be a proper nigga
phf: kanye is too white, i don't want another oreo in the office
phf: i'd rather gucci mane
danielpbarron: i think you want gpg4win or kleopatra or something
indiancandy: what do i search
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-10-14#872312 << watched this recently +1 recommendation from me (it helps that i really liked meursault as a character in school.) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (i find it no end of amusing that today the same romania isn't agitating for eating up the western third of the actuak ukraine, "historically romanian territory")
Framedragger: worth considerin'... not always easy to implement, but i hear ya
mircea_popescu: yeah from what i hear it's pretty cool.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the island of post-soviet (homeland) for the time being :) it has a proper summer, friends, forests, sea and lower living costs; i don't know where i will land after that that, if anywhere. for the first time not worried, tho.
mircea_popescu: and in kickass trilemas i dragged up while doing research, http://trilema.com/2014/an-inventory-of-a-prison/
mircea_popescu: i see this has been going well.
ben_vulpes: i'll take a copy of 0.8.2 as well, why not.
ben_vulpes: well, i'm the one interested.
pete_dushenski: pretty sure i also have 0.8.2 kicking around if your buddy's interested. lemme know.
phf: mod6: actually ignore that entire subthread, i'm reading the log backwards :/
ben_vulpes: "Anyway, the experiment more or less failed. I began to suspect the reasons behind JSP's ugly appearance had less to do with Java than with the crazy idea of mushing two unrelated languages and syntaxes together."
phf: i've reworked the graph/press code while working on press/blame renderer, and in the process discovered various issues with the current approach. so i wouldn't really look at the press/graph for reference at the moment
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 00:59 mircea_popescu: on trying to check out phf 's nice graph i discover btcbase.org/patches redirects, to btcbase.org/patches/nil
phf: yeah, there's a routing issue, that i fixed, but haven't put in production yet. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-14#1602644 << http://btcbase.org/patches (without slash at the end) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 00:59 mod6: His graph doesn't show all of the edges, and as this correctly highlights, I believe to be less than perfect.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-14#1602646 << actually this makes no difference if i do or if i don't. the correct solution that's sitting on my laptop is to explicitly check for exhaustive anticedents, and then render a missing link if there's one missing ☝︎
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i appreciate the concern. nobody in my wot's operating under the delusion that modernly available bitcoin clients will move their coins safely.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lel, maidsafe?! in there. i had nfi still existed
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i might have one
ben_vulpes: i went a-hunting for an 0.8.6 binary for a friend recently
mircea_popescu: (you may be excused from thinking that's a stupid question, as it is, but nevertheless the rust lingo is insane in this vein. "why can i not borrow a boxed vector content as mutable" ie let's make up a whole lingo of nonsense)
mircea_popescu: anyway, /me tires of #rust. there's been 500 join/parts and strictly one line ("<clmg> How do I borrow a vector mutably while iterating over that vector? Is it possible?") in the past 3 hours.
mircea_popescu: so i thought long and hard wtf it could be, and it finally occured to me maybe they're using the pingback checking trilema does to "drive traffic", ie, dorks "buy traffic", spammer asks list of wordpress installs to check if dork has pingback, dork thinks he's getting "uniques".
mircea_popescu: but as the months wore on (no fucking kidding, half a year +, 2-3-5 a minute, every minute, no exception, i've seen by now 10`000s of ips doing THIS and this only) i started thinking maybe i'm the stupid one here ?
mircea_popescu: at first i thought they're trying to spam trilema, and doing it from central ip but inept enough to not realize that the custom error message trilema spits if you try this is NOT a success (ie, matching for failure, and failing to move on). ie, stupid.
mircea_popescu: if anyone can explain this wonder to me i'd be indebted.

asciilifeform: speaking of shitware lelz, i have here a toy comp that logs in 'with finger', and after the incident with the cement, guess wat!!
asciilifeform: at one point i had no substantial quarrel with rms.
asciilifeform: why did i have to saw dbus out of emacs? ~why was it there??!~ to begin with.
asciilifeform: the 1 place i must disagree is 'idiocy outside does not matter to adult. the sweat i put in to remove the fleas from trb, but also from many other things so that i could even attempt that work, was quite real.
mircea_popescu: the fact that no one is surprised is an argument for what i was saying.
asciilifeform: i thought -- 1920
asciilifeform: i missed it
mircea_popescu: and i'm not about to stand for any "it doesn't counts because".
asciilifeform: aah but in order to agree, i would have to figure out what mircea_popescu's was!
mircea_popescu: beyond "i disagree with what mp just said because my tooth hurts and i agree with him"
