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.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 04:52:14 spyked: 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: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953547 << the thing you're quoting doesn't match the structure of a thing that may be quoted as the basis for "i understood" in this context, because it's the innard of a loop rather than the return of the level-adequate conditional block.

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.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 06:52:21 mp_en_viaje: 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.
hanbot: BingoBoingo I haven't touched it --possibly mircea_popescu fiddled in there during his recent game box adventure, but possibly not even.
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.

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.
diana_coman: no, I don't.
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
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-20#1951637 - ugh, I have them on my list & contacted them via email but they must-account (though they did at least say they weren't all that bothered about actual address iirc).
mircea_popescu: i can't even imagine what she did, tbh.
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
feedbot: http://bingology.net/2019/what-uruguay-doesnt-have/ << Bingology - BingoBoingo's Blog -- What Uruguay Doesn't Have
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: mircea_popescu: my intended comment would be this: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=37t_ ; I don't know if it got truncated or what happened (it complains of duplicate if I try it again).
diana_coman: ahaha, that ayn rand ref pokes the eye very first, doesn't it; lolz.
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aossasepia.com+aspasia&t=ffsb&ia=web << aand of course, the web search doesn't do anything besides feeding chicken pellets,
diana_coman: it wasn't a put down, no.
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.
mircea_popescu: reality doesn't matter if you don't agree to it.

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
mircea_popescu: srsly, this can't become a problem.
