mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, sounds like a plan. also don'
t get oneitis.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, they aren'
t paricularly looking to get more hands in Uruguay, but they are interested enough to have a get to know you sit down. I'm emphasizing my readiness to locate while moderating my expectations.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don'
t know if I've been this strictly encouraging to read since the War of Life debut.
BingoBoingo: I suppose Asian proficiency in English can'
t be any worse than Uruguay's alleged "Best in Latin America, though no one knows what the letters sound like" English
spyked: mircea_popescu, that inflation isn'
t limited just to version numbers tho. those numbers are just the tip of the iceberg hiding underneath a whole lot of stupid changes. e.g. gcc 4.7 to 4.9 had quite a few changes (among others) to default flags, admittedly. but 4.9 to 6, ffs that broke compilation for a lot of projects.

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-25#1953525 <-- way I see it, this version numbering scheme comes as a consequence of the adoption of a "move fast and break things" ideology. it's just numbers, the guys leading those projects don'
t try to make any distinction between "major" and "minor" changes anymore

mircea_popescu: and in other anglo lulz : searches for "teen whores" return naught but, well, porn. as you'd expect. "~teenage~ whores" searches, however, return nothing but retards ranting about how their kids shouldn'
t suck the cock or whatever usgistani neoprotestant nonsense.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Gentoo's problem is it doesn'
t have a "Gentoo X" where X is a set of reasonably standard tools amenable to documentation.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Anyways, while it's still available Devuan Jessie (systemd free Debian fork) seems the least shitty noobable distro of the day that hasn'
t linkrotted out of existence.
dorion_road: I don'
t dispute the noteed [
junior management status, but am keen to demonstrate the bootstrapping people process, as BB puts it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i really can'
t complain, the weather here's a very solid late march, though it be almost december. sunny warm and pretty.
diana_coman: come to think of it, moving east doesn'
t sound all that much healthier - less fat and more sugar or what, lolz.

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1950564 << my only take-away is that trinque does not want to own the tmsr os. whether this is because ye olde manaloning & etc silly habits of boihood are just that hard to break, or for whatever reason. i can'
t quite discern, seeing how he talks little and mostly besides the point.
mircea_popescu: seems to me today november the 25th we've not moved inch one away from
nov 12th, though it's been two weeks. i don'
t expect anything substantially different will occur in the remaining two, so i'll just conclude that for whatever reason trinque's not the man for this job.
diana_coman: ah, that would be very likely; not like they weren'
t dead, but essentially got swept up too.
BingoBoingo: Last night's crowd was a dense collection of bipeds with a headcount that easily exceeded the entire naval manpower of Uruguay, but... they didn'
t have any energy at all.
BingoBoingo: Around this time last year was when they started having motorcycle naval infantry start escorting the prefectura trucks to put on a show for tourists or whatever. Why the bus didn'
t get motorcycle marines is also a mystery.
BingoBoingo: Why they don'
t just cart them around in the back of the Prefectura Naval pickup trucks is a mystery to me.
jfw: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo: trinque appears to have solved the problem with my deedbot wallet account but any previous attempts at invoicing didn'
t make it through. Should be clear to retry now.
BingoBoingo: Also the padded walled gardens that don'
t want juicy bimbos
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-21 06:43:55 mircea_popescu: it seems to me that "special purpose os" is a contorted circumlocution for "an app". it futher seems to me that the proposition "hey, you know how to do the thing we don'
t know how to do ? let's do what we know how to do instead and call it good!" is fundamentally weak, ethically (ie, that it's not driven by anything but convenience) ; and that the "make your os for a purpose" thing is undistinguishable from it
hanbot: well it's certainly grown in terms of needlessly complex stupidity and cosmetic optionality devoid of substantial difference. it can'
t grow if nobody remembers what it's for and why it goes a certain way, except for a scant few with entirely other sets of problems.
BingoBoingo: That's kinda what I figured. Now that Adobe Flash is dead and buried, is there anywhere on the toilet-web/appverse that doesn'
t at least appear to work on Chromium?
BingoBoingo: nicoleci: I've long ago settled on XFCE as my balance between "sometime point and click offload pressure on my brainbox" versus "I don'
t want to subject myself to engineers constantly breaking everything"
nicoleci: BingoBoingo, yes it does! i can'
t wait to see how progression develops/end result
BingoBoingo: nicoleci: You probably can'
t afford the time to go full on ascetic putting together a "cleanest" possible linux, but the first couple things that popped up when I looked for "What causes this awful error" were all gnome related.
ossabot: Logged on 2017-04-19 11:33:43 mircea_popescu: the problem with this is that it won'
t allow you to see engineer-politicians, which is ALSO not compartimentalizable : it will force you to beedog, ie, not become as good as expression and telling women's original haircolor as you could, on the basis of your genetics say, actually be.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-22 08:44:59 mircea_popescu: !!rate asciilifeform 2 if what you need done happens to be what he feels like doing that day he'll probably make you an excellent piece. if not, there's no recourse, and you can'
t establish this until after the fact, he's utterly canine in his use of language.

mircea_popescu: lobbes,
arrived here, it's really high time we compared notes. i have that bash thing that takes out the relevant bits in my log format and forms proper lines out of them ; it also chunks up the file by date correctly. now, how do you do the sql etc ? you have all this already so i don'
t have to re-do it i expect ?
hanbot: i don'
t know what's wrong with conceiving an os from the known universe at the time of its conception. you have a manifest of ideals and ideas in there, as you necessarily do in your head, and when it changes you're stuck patching. the os should be for a cause, then, but i don'
t know why the cause(s) can'
t be explicitly stated, and structured, so you have a tree of reason and not just results. there's no such thing as general purpose, but there i
hanbot: inasmuch as you can'
t ever completely specify the future, an attempt to state the purpose of an operating system is doomed to fail either by getting something wrong, or by self-limiting solely for the sake of avoiding the first failure prong. i don'
t see a third path. if honestly all you wanted the os to do was peel eggs you'd make an egg peeler application, not a kitchen; an "egg peeler os" is the second failure prong, even if it's gloriously fr
diana_coman: hm, I had to read that quite a few times to stop mixing app and os and getting confused there; I tend to think that the OS should not attempt to "for a purpose" mainly because a. still can'
t know it in advance and no matter how one defines it, in time it will diverge from what's needed and here we go again b. I think the hardware is more of a cause to start from. I went and re-read also spyked's previous attempts at ...

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in important policy discussions : i've been thinking about
bvt's theory, and while i can'
t say i'm done thinking nor much hope to ever be, here's a major problem i encounter :
mircea_popescu: that business ain'
t never getting off any "ground" it imaginary finds itself on, is it.
diana_coman: someone left some records pointing to my new IP, what can I say; I don'
t... mind it.
mircea_popescu: trinque, looky here, i have a job that needs done and a bunch of people who are interested in helpinh with it. for the past month i've been considering you to run the doing, however as i sit here i still don'
t know if you are or are not going to. you've not yet put out a plan for it, you've not said if you will, you've not set a date for it, you're just making occasional, impredictable and ~useless drive-bys
mircea_popescu: it can'
t stand as you have it atm, the leftmost column throughout the table.
lobbes: I'm going to let it run during the night and will hopefully wake up to 4 years of #
t logs in a blog. Feel free to poke at it and lemme know if you'd like any tweaks/edits
mircea_popescu: i really don'
t see the problem with taking anything besides c/cpp/ada out
BingoBoingo: I don'
t expect GCC is even the place folks would want to run these languages if they were nintendo-izing, but I do wonder how much of a rats nest gcc is.
ave1: Good point, I don'
t know yet. I was think to remove these before the genesis as the whole thing ways in at 300mb or so. Plus, java and go don'
t even work as is.
diana_coman: ahaha, that ayn rand ref pokes the eye very first, doesn'
t it; lolz.
mircea_popescu: who knows, if it gets cloudy, foggy an' dark enough, conceivably even turd could shine ? or at least, you couldn'
t accuse it of not shining ? YES ?
hanbot:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-15#1951420 << recall those several tv channels in .cz entirely dedicated to "women standing around arguing with occasional intervention from men in 'authority' uniform" (incidentally didn'
t you mention this somewhere? i've been trying to find it for 20mins, fucking hell)? i don'
t think it's so much that people even like playing the role, per se; the public has a MAJOR fetish for it. i betcha most peop
mircea_popescu: yeah, but they generally understand it's performative art, they don'
t go home as if going to sleep. they go home as if waking up.
diana_coman: couldn'
t reject it, as it was plenty valid but...tooo old!!
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: well yes, because had mine too and they can'
t do both at the same time and etc; around europe I don'
t need it/care for it but to Montevideo I'd need it.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I don'
t think there's anything else that'll turn the kid away from thinking marijuana could be cool than a high season visit to Montevideo.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: not like I don'
t want holidays even to visit waste in faraway lands; but that would mean first waiting for the gloriously communist ro embassy to finish futzing with the paperwork and issue my new passport so it can'
t happen right now anyway.
BingoBoingo: This is a point. The effort that goes into covering for what isn'
t here instead of putting in the effort to have, also a thing that has to be seen to be understood.
mircea_popescu: an experience that can'
t be acquired through the livresque approach
mircea_popescu: gives one a good grasp of why latin america isn'
t a place ; and how it's perfectly possible to have millions of people not amount to a thick strand of spit.
mircea_popescu: not because of what's there, but becauswe of what isn'
t.
diana_coman: not sure how the "won'
t pay for shipping those all the way from uruguay" directly translates into no value on amd processors; not like I don'
t have around me mainly amd processors for that matter.
mircea_popescu: i wasn'
t going to buy alf made crap to piss on it & set it on fire ; but otherwise i have dozens deployed.
BingoBoingo: FUCKGOATS won value, hardware I didn'
t want lost value
BingoBoingo: I don'
t know about more organized. Just seems more centralized if the post office handles dispatch instead of the "dispachante" cartel.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: The Uk has one of the soviet Uruguay style customs regimes, doesn'
t it.
diana_coman: if it weren'
t such a horrible mess to get them all the way to here, ugh.
diana_coman: for that matter the former smg servers contain FG too but apparently don'
t quite appeal.
diana_coman: atm I don'
t really see the need for anything more than that anyway; I'll set up again all the data backups anyway, ofc.
diana_coman: re OS the idea was that I'll have to install remotely the proto-cuntoo though, wasn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see the merit. either it's alligned or else it's cheap, what the hell is this "pay us a premium so we can derp". i ain'
t ever buying "quality" outside of republic, for the obvious reason
mircea_popescu: cloudflare is the internet equivalent of usg's fatca chantage mechanism. "partner" for protection or else get flooded. i wouldn'
t hold it against civillians.
mircea_popescu: unfortunately (for them!) i don'
t own them, nor are they in channel, meaning they haven'
t access to this font of "obvious, in retrospect" sense. which is the true drawback of "oh, we built our business around the convenience of a website" : it all but enforces missing out on pretty much everything.
mircea_popescu: sadly they don'
t have a way to record/replay battles, which is stupid, should just have a hash url for any battle.
spyked: esn'
t quite amount to 40hrs/month (10/week) though, more like 20-30, so I'll have to use the remaining time for planning/writing etc.
jfw: trinque, mircea_popescu: my status on settling the s.nsa auction invoice is that I haven'
t funded a deedbot wallet before, and the above is encrypted to a key unknown to me, so I would like confirmation from trinque that there isn'
t some wire crossed and when I deposit, the coin will in fact be assigned to my key.
diana_coman: ahahha, I don'
t recall it but it does fit his utterings as I got to read them otherwise, for sure.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: myeah but what can I say; fwiw I didn'
t hold much back eg directly told him that ahem, I can see how it's "convenient" for them but that sort of convenience has a cost and moreover it's totally inconvenient for me.
BingoBoingo: In local news, the day of the last Presidential debate... The Argentina's president-elect came for a big photo shoot with Uruguay's sitting president and the Fat Forehead nominee. I am having serious trouble conceiving a situation where the commies aren'
t trying to throw the contest.
BingoBoingo: I split all of mircea_popescu_popescu's things for their being used for different ventures, wasn'
t sure if anyone else wanted that in the paying out.
BingoBoingo: Well, I didn'
t think so, but I'll give it some minutes now that I know someone else is trying to read it.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Right, I put in on the 'anyserver' but haven'
t done any tweaks to it other than making it clear the operation is closed/closing. I'll give it a couple minutes and see if I can silence the spew.
BingoBoingo: Even down here the little shim for converting laptop optical disc bays into generic 2.5" SATA drive bays are common enough finding one wasn'
t a headache
