mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to look into it

mircea_popescu: i think i have copies of vlc that i've been using since 2007 or so

mircea_popescu: somehow i had working copies. i guess ima have to move them to new systems somehow or wtf.

mircea_popescu: and i can't be bothered with packages prior.

mircea_popescu: very weird, the list of nonsense these people sprout. it's as if they have 0 reflexive capacity whatsoever, how am i supposed to distinguish google "ai" from some douche who spits out " Your style of just summarily shitting on how the author wrote this piece adds no value to the discussion." ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: damn, i wish we knew that back when phuctor story was #1 for half a day. such arguments!

asciilifeform: 'How do you describe this flicker effect? I've never seen it.'

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but who the fuck uses emacs nonfullscreen and why. << Me, I use it like a "sticky note" on screen.

trinque: gabriel_laddel can tell me when I can rewrite all my elisp in CL

trinque couldn't stand writing one command "open all the shit I use to work on project P" in multiple languages, the cost being stepping around various exwm bugs

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it did, when i found it, i had been using various 'light' (e.g., 'flwm') wm, and the switchover felt quite like if you had lived with mice, rats, lice, all of your life, and then finally learned to kill'em

asciilifeform: point; it has been a very long time since i ran into anyone else who used it.

asciilifeform: so i dun have 'windows' in the customary sense here.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-19 18:39 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've yet to use a "non-full-screen window" for anything.

mircea_popescu: what, i should search ?

asciilifeform: i use emacs strictly full screen. which is why i keep 4 screens.

asciilifeform: on recent mac, i found that emacs is simply not usable at all unless in fullscreen mode, the contents become cga-like soup

asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect that it happens on windowdraggatronic wm's

mircea_popescu: what, i should use qt ?

asciilifeform: motherfucker, looks like this was the warning bell, as soon as this idiocy makes it into mainline emacs (and it will) i will have to maintain own fork.

asciilifeform: where i use 'ratpoison'

asciilifeform: 'Emacs uses an X11 extension, DOUBLE-BUFFER, largely seen as an historical artifact. There are other hacks I didn’t describe, like putting scrollbars in their own X11 window, contrary to the intent and design of the GTK people. This extension allows us to reuse our existing drawing code and redirect it to an off-screen buffer. GTK+ or Lucid or Motif or whatever we’re using is oblivious. My diff turns scrollbars and other widgets

mircea_popescu: this sounds a lot like "my car engine doesn't run smooth so i'm going to fix the steering wheel, gas pedal etc."

asciilifeform: and i don't use the terminal emacs either

asciilifeform: i've used emacs on pentium1 under bsd, on whatever, even on this year's crapple boxen, etc. and never saw this flicker.

asciilifeform: 'I am a sinner. Unrepentant. Damned. Thusly, for me, Emacs flickers constantly. I hate flicker. I love Emacs. Something has to change. I decided to hack Emacs to eliminate this antediluvian flickering.' << i am hearing about this flicker for the first time.

mircea_popescu: i don't get it. what exactly can it be other than "a text program" ?

mircea_popescu: i thought it was 1.5 stuff

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-31#1560415 << lol, I'm under the impression that gabriel_laddel trolls logs for highlights with a script, or would've provided better context ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there was quite certainly no water under the one i saw.

asciilifeform: d to reason with cattle. No more. Completing the CLX implementation, as described above should take no more than a few months.' << this is iirc the first time i am seeing 'mean girlz' in a shithub page.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-31#1560409 >> 'He's more-or-less lent jackdaniel his signature, and is too much of a pushover to, say, speak up or block access rights to the repository when jackdaniel takes actions he disagrees with. Someone familiar with the fork suggested that it might be premature. Had I nipped this problem in the bud a week ago, I could have had translated the CLIM specifiction to CLIM by now. Instead, I attempte ☝︎

asciilifeform: in other 'news', i was walking on a street and saw a house that appeared to be made of steel. overgrown with jungle, apparently for decades, according to city hall. looked up what the thing was, turns out they were stamped out like cars: https://archive.is/isbKL

gabriel_laddel: masamune news: I've a machine for hosting the channel + logs+backups, but it is missing a power cord and doesn't have a bootable linux on it :/ Have never installed on a computer that didn't at the very least give me a boot screen, so have nfi how long this will take.

mircea_popescu: phf yeah i guess that works

trinque: and also, yes I will host the thing's vpatch pile.

phf: apparently i was putting it there

phf: it does add a visible space though, and i'm not sure why, hmm

phf: it was an end of line corner case that i didn't test, but no not altering, just the highlighting part

a111: Logged on 2016-10-30 17:57 mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you did lol.

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-30#1560372 << actually nor do i, lol ☝︎

shinohai: I rather like we have a room full of editors here to watch for those sorts of things.

mircea_popescu: lol i guess it's a trophy of sorts!

shinohai: First one I ever noticed in a trilema article!

shinohai: I might actually fuck Palin if drunk

mircea_popescu: that's shinohai ? i thought it was palin

mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you did lol. ☟︎

phf: (i'm just tuning in)

shinohai: I'm still working on that ... removing it so far breaks the whole plugin.

phf: i have by the way fixed url delimiters on btcbase. now if url ends in > ; . , and ) it won't include those chars. that might break a url in a case or two, but in most cases that actually fixes them

shinohai: I guess it is easy to hose down during those pesky ethnic cleansing campaigns.

shinohai: If he is, I'll give him a bitcent just for taking the artform to a new level.

shinohai: Nah, I sat in my chan with him about a week ago trying to help him once again poor guy

mircea_popescu: funny thing being, it's prolly faster. depending on your conn, obv, but i think for >50% of the world it would be

a111: Logged on 2016-10-30 03:30 ben_vulpes: "Zooko proposed recently to periodically force everyone to reveal their balance as a solution for the hidden inflation problem." << ahaha i mean fuck what's the point

ben_vulpes: "Zooko proposed recently to periodically force everyone to reveal their balance as a solution for the hidden inflation problem." << ahaha i mean fuck what's the point ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'i invited the strippers [,] hitler and stalin to my party'

ben_vulpes: "i mean fuck buddy, it's /your/ body politic but fuck, buddy. it's your /body politic/."

BingoBoingo: http://trilema.com/2016/the-story-of-elliot-rodger-by-elliot-rodger-adnotated-part-one/ << "My parents threw a party for me in our field. I had a helicopter birthday cake." If people want to know why "Attack Helicopter" is such a popular gender identification amongst protesters

mircea_popescu: but anyway, i shall bbl.

mircea_popescu: i wonder what male dependos are like.

asciilifeform: (when i worked at flying a desk for u.s. army, there were posters hanging in the lobby promising 25-35k re-enlistment bonus for DESK FLYERS, with the logic that they CHANCE iraq)

phf: i actually picked up a 1964 pulp print of pkd's the simulacra with his illustration at a tiny "mystery books" bookstore in philadelphia, that since got closed

a111: Logged on 2016-10-29 22:34 asciilifeform: (actually i could swear i saw that pic on a '90s sf cover, when they were being printed on that yellow toilet paper thing)

danielpbarron: i don't understand what it's referring to

danielpbarron: which is very strange to me because, i'm 1/2 armenian

danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-29#1560075 << yes. I think i have this. whenever i eat eggplant i feel itchy and generally uncomfortable ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-29#1560115 << i went not long ago into 'upscale' booze shop in washington, there was a, iirc, 150k-usd bottle, in a 'hope diamond'-type glass display, shopkeeper claimed that he's sold 2. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-29#1559985 << lel, that must be me in the parallel Bright SovFuture Universe i got booted from ☝︎

shinohai: I'm an idiot, I should have put bundles in table.

shinohai: anywho is I find a way to contact them I'll hit you up if you don't mind signing a message from that addy.

shinohai: I dunno if it was intentional or what ... but no way to contact admins or anything that I have found thus far.

shinohai: I left that goddamned page up for 3 days

mircea_popescu: i see.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo 40 bucks a bottle is actually pretty great price for the merchandise i'd say

phf: i don't know what to do with that knowledge, like ark of the covenant, it might be ultimate weapon

phf: i have to add this as an asset in an ongoing hostilities with my iranian colleagues over "things that we have invented and you stole from us", which started as this things do over my casual remark that samovar was invented by russians

phf: there's a joke in a su commedy set in 16th century russia, where a character is listing dishes at a lavish feast, black caviar in a giant container, red caviar in a smaller plate, and "caviar from foreign lands, eggplant caviar" barely a spoonful. i sort of always assumed because of that movie that at some point eggplants were near impossible to source around where the term "eggplant caviar" originated

mircea_popescu: and i have nfi why they call "caviar" things which remind them of ... cheap roe salads. but w/e

phf: hah, that's why i like baba ganoush, but i don't know the recipe for later. when cooked russian style it's somewhat different from what they sell as baba ganoush in u.s.

phf: mircea_popescu: oh it's great as a zakuska, i was just thinking that i should make some "eggplant caviar" (no idea what the proper translation is)

phf: hmm, yeah, i have hard time with that whole direction, squash, eggplant

ben_vulpes: hey i just said "PROCURE ME A DIVERSITY OF TUBER"

mircea_popescu: i don't much care for the sweet stuff, so i don't usually eat it. i think it's acquired thanksgiving taste.

phf: i don't get sweet potatoes, i've been trying to work with them, but they don't seem to ever come out tasty. i even tried them as fries..

mircea_popescu: i suppose yams think themselves pastries.

ben_vulpes: i was trying to work a cucking in

ben_vulpes: i think so

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it may interest you to know i first met / picked out / hired my best driver ever when he was 17 and was doing "spinnies" with a group of similarly minded idiots

mircea_popescu: i wonder if they actually had a hood engineer sit around thinking about this

ben_vulpes: i think it's a mechanical jam, possibly the glass is now out of true

ben_vulpes: i ain't even take remedial kink and that shit's retarded

shinohai: http://i.imgur.com/AX2KmH9.png

asciilifeform: because, and as i said before, there is ~unlimited supply of academitards etc. ready to play.
