mircea_popescu: whereas my intention was to result in a new single line highlight. yes yes i see.
mircea_popescu: oooohhh i know wtf it was! see, what it was was this : you DID have it this way, but then i'd highlight one line or follow someone else's highlight, and i'd RIGHT CLICK another line, and this'd result in a range.
Framedragger: (i'd use it, too)
Framedragger: well i had it turned on until it pissed you off, so now it's manual-only. but you're right re. third-click adjusting anchor, maybe that's what's missing. would indeed be useful to see this in btcbase logs
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 15:11 mircea_popescu: and i must be able to figure out the state by looking at the url, which is why POST is not better than GET but much, MUCH worse, and why it was pushed as part of "ssl", typical usg-tardism
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599385 << thought the same when i was implementing this, hence one also being able to manually define range which imo is mandatory requirement. no hidden state ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i do.

asciilifeform: 'It is my opinion that the fans of this family of hardware/vaporware, consistent advocates of The New Age of Computing, have serious AI problems. Here's a sample quote on cellular automata: "I guess they really are like us." Well, if you want to build a computing device in order to have a relationship with it, maybe a cellular automaton will do the trick. Although I'd recommend to first check the fine selection of Homo Sapiens we have
Framedragger: fwiw i had the first click + second click => range thing but it confused you (and others) into accidentally selecting ranges unintentionally. third click may make sense..
Framedragger: see i told you it'd be useful ;)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 13:54 mircea_popescu: and the other thing : that entire "it is unclear whether people aiming to make an artificial friend have seriously considered the much cheaper, ordinary kind" which i can't fucking find in the log for some reason goes A LOT deeper than generally realised. it's not "oh, i'm not discussing ai so it's not about me". yes, IT IS about you. if the software you're contemplating aims to take fifty hours of engineer work to replace fi
a111: Logged on 2015-09-25 21:50 mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285635 << exactly the wrong kind of fucking ai. a) not actually intelligent ; b) negative - the last thing i fucking want to see is mechanically powered women nagging ; c) not self contained - at least the stupid nag you can beat into the ground.

mircea_popescu: i don't need a fucking power button to recall i can turn off the box, i can type shutdown just fine.
mircea_popescu: this formalizes the problem with guis, "oh but mp, did you know you can italicize text ???" yes bitch, i fucking know about text italicizing. "no but maybe you forgot, here's a 60x60 pixel square on your screen shooting photons at your retina 60/60/24/7 so you remember". what the fuck am i supposed to be, a frog ? that my brain has no remanence, entirely powered off the visual field ?
mircea_popescu: sex, food, knowledge, anything. i'll pull and don't fucking dare push anything on me. ever.
mircea_popescu: and it's not ~just~ a horrible idea. it comes from a thorougly broken thought process. i'm not in fuckign school, to be informed via a push interface. i am an adult, i will pull for what i want. the only thing the world may do or should do is spread WHEN I SAY. and at no other point.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599268 << no. for the low low cost of adding a woman to sit next to the woman driving, i could have implemented this years ago. but honestly if the car came so equipped i'd fucking shoot the siri girl to fix the car. horrible fucking idea. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (these i used to buy like bitcoins in the early 2000s, possibly best car ever made.)
mircea_popescu: course ytou can't get the nice w200s faces anymore i don't think. because fucking "progress"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599242 << the last car i owned was e200. which i think is still in production and also a fine car in all respects. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 03:55 asciilifeform: i recommend to exempt it from the usual treatment, trinque et al, until i invent some radically new mechanism for the thing to work on, instead of postgres.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594569 && http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594581 << since most of those are 502s, yes those URLs can be exempted - i am a bit wary of introducing blacklist / ad hoc rules - after all, those phuctor URLs can later be re-archived, what's the pain - but maybe it's strainful to phuctor? ☝︎☝︎☟︎
davout: i never claimed to be in the hosting business wtf
netmonk: i dont know much on their custemer support and product
ben_vulpes: i like the notion of an anti-system
davout: ah, this article doesn't really elaborate on the OVH part I guess
ben_vulpes: funny, i had that thought when his photo went by in a link earlier today
ben_vulpes: i did ask for clarification though
ben_vulpes: yeah i see where i misread there now.
davout: i saud "<davout> online is basically fucking ovh's waifu"
ben_vulpes: you said "online is ovh's waifu" and i said "i have nfi what that oldfag gibberish means"
ben_vulpes: i don't know what sort of apology is due here as clearly nobody has ever even tried to apply those patches through a strict v, but i'm still going to go slam my head in a door until i get some of the stupid out ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: a question i have been wondering about for long is "why does the trb tree sit in a 'bitcoin' directory, wherever it's pressed", but it is not particularly irrelevant.
ben_vulpes: trinque may confirm: i believe that this is due to asciilifeform grinding (trb-)genesis.vpatch from an a/ and b/ containing a directory 'bitcoin'
ben_vulpes: aha, i have made a mistake!
ben_vulpes: i realize in this moment that i did not miss the phuctorings.
trinque: http://i.imgur.com/gl2SCbX.jpg << speaking of toyota trucks, bought this guy ☟︎
trinque: I'm heavily biased
pete_dushenski: also, of your list, only population is a curious itch i'd want to scratch. the rest is sorta neither here nor there if i'm passing through on a road trip or what have you
pete_dushenski: interesting. i guess i'd be skeptical of the source of the info at the very least.
gabriel_laddel_p: oh okay, well anyways that's the train of thought I'm exploring.
pete_dushenski: i have never wanted this, no.
pete_dushenski guiltily plays 'someday i'll buy x' game and doesn't begrudge others who do similarly
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I have done very little to CLIM the library thus far - mostly creating, organizing and DOCUMENTING examples of what one can do with it.
pete_dushenski: could i think of better ways to spend ? $125k or whatever a gt4 is ? sure. but /me can still barely fathom whether gabriel_laddel_p is sitting on inheritence or if he expects masamune to be ~that~ big a success or if he's poster shopping for bedroom ceiling.
pete_dushenski: with the caveat... for a new porsche. in the breed, in the class, it's a tight, sexy, and sorta unrivaled package. selling over list last i checked too.
gabriel_laddel_p: I saw the gt4 the other day and... no car has ever tugged at my soul before
pete_dushenski: gabriel_laddel_p: lol! what am i, a efnj ?
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: not even slightly. I wanted to know your thoughts. How do you /feel/ about it.
ben_vulpes: if i tell him there was an ice or crypto or ruin of usg thread he'll eat a few weeks in one sitting
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: and does your $bzprtnr actually read logs ??! fuck me if i new anyone in meatspace who read these. not that i'd be embarrased but that i'd have so much more in common with them!
liquidassets: I'm around, mostly trying to keep up. Doin my thing, thanks for saying what's up.
liquidassets: ben_vulpes assuming you were talking to me just getting back from a 3 week vacation, back to South Cascadia. I'm going to go read through your blog, haven't spent much time there yet, but looks like a new look? Cheers.
ben_vulpes: and now, i will likely never buy a new vehicle.
ben_vulpes: and to think, i left an entire industry because one engineer at the firm when questioned about wasting money on a brand new vw microshitbox said "i just think everyone should own a brand new car once in their lifetime"
ben_vulpes: yes please, blue light and screens at night while i drive
ben_vulpes: yes please, random screen twiddling in my peripheral vision while i drive
pete_dushenski has seen 'virtual cockpit' in new audi s3. it's rather nifty even if i wouldn't want to own it.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 2003 isn't a bad cut-off for cars manufacturing date. most recent news i heard was that nvidia was teaming up with audi for their next-gen vehicles and that some of the higher-end german models (though not just audi) have upwards of 100 ecus.
trinque: that's about all I have to say about those logs.
pete_dushenski: they most certainly aren't, at least last i checked maybe a decade ago
mircea_popescu: i said normative. ie, that derpy romcoms aren't using it as "the way".
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I hadn't caught up to your witty retort yet
pete_dushenski: trinque: i watched 'sausage party' last night. talking condom was easily creepiest character.
trinque: I hope you're wrapping it up; that thing's not sanitary
trinque: asciilifeform: I'm back, glass of wine in hand
mircea_popescu: makes sense i guess!
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 03:32 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo : if/when my auto gives up the ghost, i'm getting another ~2003, and not because cheap, but because wtf omfg firmware?!
asciilifeform: lol, just when i needed him!1111
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc i was waiting for trinque to ok it.
mircea_popescu: but for some reason nobody seems to have an alt preference. such as for instance because they don't exist or i have nfi
mircea_popescu: and i see no problem with any other or only other services be used - which iirc i even said when bot spec for archival was drawn, that everyone making one should ideally use a diff service
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, item seems to work is the entire extent of the thing ; and i don't specifically know him to be a hitler crony, like i do specifically know archive.org to be a hitler crony.
mircea_popescu: right. anyway, to dispell the possible implication - it's not that i like secretly know whoever runs archive.is
asciilifeform: at any rate i did not say d00d is enemy. only 'not friend.'
mircea_popescu: o yeah, cuz i lifted the js for text selection from his site.
mircea_popescu: i think i shot him an email once which he replied
asciilifeform: granted that i do not know, if he left, if he stayed, what role he played. at least partly because d00d is not in the wot! and never speaks in the forum.
mircea_popescu: well i dun think anyone's a friend, including the baker. i've not yet geiger-countered the flour.
mircea_popescu: or whatever thousand others. i have nfi.
asciilifeform: and granted if this had not happened, i probably would not have gotten off arse and rewritten the thing, and it would be ~useless nao.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: now - wut of all of this ? maybe it was the same guy, i guess, maybe there was a conspiracy to reboot the server, i guess, maybe etcetera. i'm unconvinced nor do i see it matters any. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: xing his code or going away ; e) so butthurt was alf over his code being no good in some particular and not terribly relevant way, he decided to go away. this caused phuctor to be offline for about a year. f) at some later point, getting a machine in the same datacenter if memory serves, alf declared that remnants from archive.is were found i dun recall how or where. this is entirely possible, and in any case i've not invest
mircea_popescu: a) alf wrote a first version of phuctor, which wasn't very good. this is excusable in that it was a first version, and altogether irrelevant ; b) alf's version being not very good was accidentally exposed through ordinary course of business ; c) alf got very butthurt at this circumstance, and kept whining about it in the logs ; d) having had enough of the whine at some later point, i presented him with the choice of either fi
mircea_popescu: look. i dunno what set of assumptions/convictions/determinations of fact you're operating under ehre, but to be plain, the situation as observed from my chair is as follows :
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what you're on about on either of these.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 03:14 Framedragger: creating an impression of a strong wot and so on, i see.
asciilifeform: i'm not certain how it beats, for instance, google.
asciilifeform: i still have nfi exactly what. it's been backburnered since.
mircea_popescu: but why would i/anyone do that ?
phf: crapple uses open source code for unzipping. where's i believe pkware eventually open sourced their code too. so now there's two competing versions floating around.
asciilifeform: (and i meant MY zip, as in what came out of my wall plug, and not what-mircea_popescu-got-from-curl)
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall tracing the problem towards unzip version but giving up under barrage of strange.
phf: i was playing along. i think could unpack it with pkzip, but not the open source equivalent
asciilifeform: i dun recall anybody but mircea_popescu trying the replicate
mircea_popescu: all i recall from it was "alf got problem couldn't be replicated".
mircea_popescu: you did ? hm. i somehow dun recall.
