a man to be 'feminine'. i think that's what i meant, not more than that
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:09 diana_coman: Framedragger, there is sex and there is gender; in other words, an individual woman can be more of
a man than
a specific, given man and the other way around;
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599727 << i'm with her.
a woman may be assumed to be cowardly, and
a black man may be assumed to be
a thief, and an asian guy may be assumed to have
a small dick, and if that works for you all the better. but it dun work in general, i don't think, nor in my experience. all children are born cowardly, all modern society tends to encourage it, the few who get out of infantilism aren't very gen

a whole.

mircea_popescu: if two girls that are close but the sexual bubble between them's not popped and they run into this guy at
a party who looks kinda cool and interests them because maybe he's gonna do it but then he wants them to kiss this other guy they may just pretend to be going to do it to see if he stops them.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger well then this isn't
a proper measure. woman playing coy != woman being coward.
Framedragger: aha. yeah you're right. this reminds me of when i made plans to sorta-jumpscare
a guy by him being kissed by two girls, and the girls were all bravelike and c0mmitt3d until the moment came.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:34 ben_vulpes: Framedragger: which reminds me of
a thought perhaps mircea_popescu can make better use of than i, given how it's been evading my grasp: why is it that you can have brave men and brave women, but cowards are all men?
Framedragger: sure. and that's the best one can have for the time being, and, *given trust*, it works nicely (dare i say, in
a community-like aspect). and trust is unavoidable anyway and maybe the best instrument for civilisation. (also, need coffee)
mircea_popescu: what you've both done is - summarized
a familiar topic for the benefit for foreigners.
mircea_popescu: this is how
a mother acts, and why kids have not much business with her past the age of about 10 or so, depending how retarded they are.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is contemptible and beyond contemptible to rely on his ignorance, disinterest AND COWARDICE to get him on
a windowsesque thing which "works", and provided he's willing to adapt what he wants done to what the butons say, all will be well.
mircea_popescu: explain how to make backups (even if it's
a dump-db-encrypted-to-key script you throw together) and that's it.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:23 Framedragger: (just complained to taleb about him using medium. this whole "scrape article right after it's published because the unicorn it's riding on may go really go down soon" is
a bit stupid. on the small off chance that he replies with
a request for
a suggestion to be considered, i wonder if there's anything to actually be suggested. need to search for
a bit (i'm certain he wouldn't fuck around with mp-wp unfortunately)..)
mircea_popescu: which is how hillary ended up visiting 1mn strong towns in the sense of speaking to fifty ditzy cunts nobody could be bothered to ever fuck in
a basement library somewhere.
mircea_popescu: and for the "we all agree" (that "sexual harassment is
a thing" or "words hurt" or whatever other nonsense du jour) engine to work, the strict requirement is for "everyone" to be entirely
a set of usg drones. it's not even enough to pad theroom, it must be filled.
mircea_popescu: in any case the usg "tax code" or "legal code" or any other pile of usg-specific idiocy is NOT
a schelling point.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "softforks" ie successful attacks to date are
a very simple indication of how this works.
davout: seems to me that enemy being able to build
a large chain differential would be
a problem in its own right
mircea_popescu: that's
a real threat model, because of how bitcoin works chain differentials are real leverage in the hands of enemy.
mircea_popescu: the reason you want them in succession is that single blocks will definitely get orphaned, but longer chains present
a risk for miners if they opt not to build on them.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:40 Framedragger: yes, there is that model of
a woman as someone who is expected to, and is bound to adapt in my mind, too. if she runs away from
a dangerous bank robbery scene, it's to be expected. ties into the 'protecting children' function, too. unless she *explicitly* is
a heroine.
Framedragger: diana_coman: i see what you mean. at the end of the day if one cannot carve out existence on their own terms, they are doomed either way - this much i agree with. (also, i didn't really have
a fleshed out point, thanks for clarifying things for me)
diana_coman: well, I don't really think someone can live
a very unhappy life due to *others'* expectations; at most due to his/her own

a man needs
a qualifier.

☟︎ Framedragger: usually i am
a coward and
a proper ellipse is too much of
a commitment to me.
ben_vulpes:
a man's work stands on its own, for everyone else there are marketing departments standing by to contribute to revenues.
ben_vulpes: you'll have
a long fucking slog getting him to use finished software if he's an investor in
a revolutionary online publishing platform, though.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: davout: aye, that's what i've always thought. no need to waste characters on
a nick when a111 does it for ya!
ben_vulpes: it might not be so bad at that, there's one command to compile, and
a single keypress to abort
a failed compilation. ofc, you'll have to either edit directly in emacs (strongly recommended for parens-balancing reasons) or edit the file in something else of your choice (not recommended because no parens balancing) and then loading the file in
a persistent lisp session in tmux or whatever
ben_vulpes: lemme guess: you're ~epsilon interested in poking
a running lisp process through emacs
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 18:04 mircea_popescu: ah. the way i was thinking this'd work would be : the bot answers to any lines where its name is mentioned ; and i can update its "brain" with
a !^ url style command. whereby it replaces its "ai" code with the content of the file.
mircea_popescu: "i know, let's put
a fucking forth parser into the consensus system, that'll be so fucken smart!"
mircea_popescu: davout the way this works is by piling
a bunch of slow txn.
davout: "It is possible to use
a standard p2sh transaction as the attack vector, but it seems to be
a transaction that takes no more than 500 msec to be verified." <<< this part confused my parser
davout: asciilifeform: it isn't very clear to me if the actual attack ~must~ be
a P2SH transaction
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm thinking is stacked 2 high, filled with rebar and concrete poured, one could make
a respectable fence.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo can stack em as high as 8, and in principle could cover
a square mile with 'em
mircea_popescu: yeah not
a bad time to buy containers. trade's going to shit.
ben_vulpes: what build, i'm going to live out of
a shipping container
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 17:05 ben_vulpes: i'm one more 'undefined is not
a function' away from moving to boring and raising cashmere goats
ben_vulpes: you can pump it through
a stucco sprayer, which i think is very fucking cool
BingoBoingo: concrete's
a fickle little bitch it's first month of life.
mircea_popescu: "The 652 square metre corner block boasts high ceilings, timber flooring,
a theatre room and alfresco deck." AND ONE BATHROOM
mircea_popescu: wtf they do anywya, "you can't be john, we already have
a john. why don't you be felix ?"
mircea_popescu: the other speaks to accuracy. there is
a reason man pages are written by the authors of the software, not by
a conclave of self-identified users of said software.
a measure of accuracy could certainly be devised whereby the 2nd version is "just as accurate" as
a proper man page. nevertheless, it would not in the slightest be INTERESTING.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the noobs : to specific objections are raised here. one speaks to corectness :
a random "reality tv" show may include elements which, inasmuch as they factually exist, are actually true, such as
a curb, or
a window pane. nevertheless, this does not make the reality tv show MEANINGFUL.
mircea_popescu: i always read it as
a "i am dedicated to the empire and won't miss an opportunity to spam its tendrils". exactly the same substance as the "seo expert" pushing colon cleanser or w/e. just vaguely different clothing.
phf: i don't think it's an attempt to establish terminology. i always read it as
a herp-
a-derp chumminess with
a reader "oh maybe you don't know what i'm talking about, i'm going to help you out here"
mircea_popescu: issues, and we'll provide
a full post-mortem here in the morning." together with the absent anything "in the morning" readily constitutes the epitome of "
a new generation" in computing.
mircea_popescu: "We've isolated the issue to
a blip on an internal service caused by
a deploy
a few hours ago, which triggered
a case where some buggy code incorrectly propagated the errors caused by the malfunction up to our client, that then attempted to retry sending the message. For now, we've reverted the changes and everything looks stable. We're going to investigate this further. As of now, we have
a few action items to resolve these
mircea_popescu: apparently "cyberhatsecurity" is
a bunch of kids (usual male + coupla orbiters + love interest movie cast) defacing/ddosing random obscure websites (da.gov.ph, "official website of ella fitzgerald", ectb.org, readanddigest.com and so on). but an evidently important & mayn guy named system "Im leaving social media. im sorry guys. please if you want to contact us go in our discord.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 17:18 asciilifeform: every large conversation has
a start. why not quote that.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 17:18 phf: well, mp is presumably trying to solve
a problem of quoting large conversations. our thread links for example go for one liners, but require extra effort to figure out where the conversation starts and where it ends, etc.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599371 << i've been thinking about this problem, because range select is very handy, but i haven't figured out
a way to make it not confusing. specifically the "stickiness" where you catch
a range and can't get rid of it. can implement the traditional select semantics like shift-click to activate
a range?

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598294 << scheme83 is like
a "canticle for leibowitz" artifact. "published design" is overstatement of the century. scraps of published memos and reports spread over out of print conference proceedings, the bulk of actual technology needed to recreate probably somewhere on
a TAPE. i don't know where you got that mask generator runs on scheme83. the entire production stack was for mit cadr
phf: sometimes i want to address specific point in
a context of
a larger conversation. when i speak here it's usually enough to just point into conversation, but mp with his audience perhaps requires more contextualization
phf: well, mp is presumably trying to solve
a problem of quoting large conversations. our thread links for example go for one liners, but require extra effort to figure out where the conversation starts and where it ends, etc.
☟︎ phf: you have
a choice to represent everything with
a "click" procedure that activates things on backend (by altering get parameters), or you go frontend in which case welcome to the javascript hell
phf: and then once you have
a range and trying to get rid of it, if you have
a screen full of range, you have to go through the whole "scroll till no range, select arbitrary line" thing
