tmsr artifacts,
http://edgecase.net/pages/how_to_buy_edgecase_credits << d00d with a kinda blog,
tried
to copy mircea_popescu's old paid-articles scheme (spoiler : dunwork) -- (
http://edgecase.net has coupla possibly-interesting items, compiler-wranglings,
translations of old lit, btc
tx likbez of sorts, etc )
mircea_popescu: no need for n deep. just save copy of
the item linked.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you feel like patching mp-wp
to do just
this, i'd very much run it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
tis
the fate of classical
text, whadda ya want
mircea_popescu: (this being
the ur-case. older, and no doubt
the model for
the others)
mircea_popescu: right. but no, in ro -et is collective noun derivative. storfet,
the group of cheap whores, from stoarfa, cheap whore.
mircea_popescu: it's pizdet, an animal collective
term for young females. ~cattle.
mircea_popescu: but it is genuinely fun -- even if it doesn't seem so
to
the victim in
the moment, it does retrospectively.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ack, caffinating and
then heading over
Mocky: when I went opened comp
this morning half expected chat window
to be flashing with with ping "bot dun work!"
a111: Logged on 2018-08-19 16:51 BingoBoingo: <mod6> BingoBoingo:
Tomorrow (the 20th) you may arrage
the nuke/pave of mircea_popescu's rented rockchip with asciilifeform. << Aite
mod6: ben_vulpes: mimi went
to lunch.
Mocky: dude was ultra focused on
the generic usefulness
Mocky: there's just not a method
that returns only bool , he insists on returning some additional potentially useful info
that was gathered
Mocky: there are still ways
to do it, e.g. with
the count method, you have
to
test for count < 1.
mircea_popescu: i could
think of other reasons
though. what happens if i want
to see if you're voiced ? check
the voiced set for you neh ?
then if you're not included i
trash your line.
Mocky: so instead
the interface as methods
that keep
track of
the info for
the
tasks you actually want
to do
Mocky: the only reason
to use contains() is
to follow up and do something else, like add or remove. but if you do
those
things you have
to repeat all
the work of contains() contains
throws out all
the info
BingoBoingo: <mod6> BingoBoingo:
Tomorrow (the 20th) you may arrage
the nuke/pave of mircea_popescu's rented rockchip with asciilifeform. << Aite
☟︎ Mocky: i was
trying
to figure out what madness was behind an stl <set> not having a 'contains()' method, and
turns out designer isn't dumb after all
Mocky: apparently stepanoff wrote
the generic list processing for Ada but saw
that c++ would be more popular so
then wrote stl as researcher at HP
Mocky: standard
template library for c++
Mocky: when stepanoff starts
talking about a guy who writes 77k lines of code and earns a raise, should instead get a $77M fine, i started listening more closely
mod6: BingoBoingo:
Tomorrow (the 20th) you may arrage
the nuke/pave of mircea_popescu's rented rockchip with asciilifeform.
Mocky: talks about how his son came
to him for help with stl homeowrk, and he's like 'i'm not dealing with
that 5 pages of compile errors'
mod6: Mocky: I'll have
to
take a look at
that
Mocky: guy seems very differnt from stroustrup.
talks about all
the bad shit with
the good
mod6: mircea_popescu: just a reminder,
today is
the last day paid up
through for your Rockchip. Let us know if you want
to renew or not. Otherwise, if
there is anything you want
to copy off of
the Rockchip itself (files, whatever), have until
tomorrow.
Mocky: afaik it was in c++
that
the angle bracket
template syntax was first used. mustta had no choice what with all
the other brackets
taken, but still way
to go interfering with >> operator
Mocky: compiler knows *exactly* what I want and emits it... except
to
the error stream instead of
the output
shinohai: Hey BingoBoingo, did I already show you
that blackgirlscode meets shitcoins I found ?
BingoBoingo: Sausage is one of
those
things like painting for art, it's got some room for creativity.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i regard
the matter of sausage as solved matter, by
the germans, pre fucking
the better germans (also known as jewz). say 1880s or so.
BingoBoingo: Discounting USG deployments
this Uruguay
trip might be
the longest out of
the wire in
two or
three generations
BingoBoingo: Fuck me, by grandpa's generation my ancestors were already
trapped. One did Korea,
the other did Burma
mircea_popescu: hm, did i even recount
that ? kid goes
to moscow
to have a good
time, like grandfather ?
mircea_popescu: i'd have said "go
to munich sometime", but sadly
this kinda ended. "go
to munich with radetzky", as per
the pilsudski story.
BingoBoingo: My own corner of
the reich nuevo was a coarse meat sausage kinda corner
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well, sausagefest mostly a bayern & neighbours affair.
the prussians
tended
to smoke a lot.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is
the geopolitical lesson of all
time : in
that
they did preserve intellectual and personal freedom,
the germans failed
to produce a "french crown" so
they ended up demographically sucked up and re-packaged by one of
the peripheral french crown usurpers.
BingoBoingo: Living in
the Middle West I saw many different kinds of German exile community
BingoBoingo: I doubt all germans were cool. Maybe just
the Prussians?
mircea_popescu: but yes, zee germanz were a lot cooler before
they crossed
the pond started calling
themselves "americans".
mircea_popescu: just because your intermediate-new country lost most of
the
traditions of old country in its quest
to be acceptable by
the god-on-a-hill dun mean
they weren't
there.
BingoBoingo: I'm kind of surprised old country failed
to invent
the salchica and
throw
the whole
thing on one bun
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, seriously, eat well but work out. don't
turn into one of
the local married galz.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-18 22:49 mircea_popescu: it came
to be because if
the ministry of provisioning
takes a vacation,
the zeks'll just return
tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Seriously Imma have
to put myself on a diet or get serious about fitness. I can't outwalk all
the choripan... which is somehow more fattening when I make it myself
BingoBoingo: I've had steak once in
this kitchen and I am getting fat off of chorizo, morcilla, and mortadella (for piglet)
BingoBoingo: Related: Rio Platense folks get a lot of credit for
their beef and cheese, but
their pork sausage... Divine
BingoBoingo: Because Lopez actually held out for quite some
time
BingoBoingo: Lopez pissed off ALL Paraguay's neighbors, leading
to
the bonding excercise
this continent is afraid
to repeat
