asciilifeform: ( at least jp moved away from this some time bc )
asciilifeform: trinque: wait till you remember that the cn folx are fractally damaged, they can't ~speak~ like normal humans either, gotta do this 11-tone singsong thing
asciilifeform: 'Знает каждый на Руси - вХРЮК, оХГДЕЖ и МЮ УСИ' (tm)(r)
asciilifeform: trinque: there weren't any shitgnomes yet.
asciilifeform: i dun actually hate apl. it ain't chinese liquishit, is actually pretty small and readable alphabet. that probably oughta have occupied the upper half of ansi 8bit coding, instead of the rubbish that's in there nao.
asciilifeform: hey, mao did answer 'but your father swallowed french revolution, we dun know which is more lethally stupid yet'
asciilifeform: ( i could instead say '1 msec' but crystal jitter, interrupts, etc )
asciilifeform: exercise for reader : write equation to predict, within 1 minute, how long N! takes on your box in ffa
asciilifeform: it doesn't relieve of the burden of having to actually prove correctness tho.
asciilifeform: ( to the extent such a thing is to be demonstrated experimentally. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another fine experiment is to do 9000 mults of B-bit rngolade. demonstrates that the payload really has 0 impact on time.

asciilifeform: though i definitely see the strength of his argument, that people who use more glyphs than there are keys on keyboard, have severe problem, and their place is by the cultural latrine, and not bloating the os for civilized folx
asciilifeform: ( why was it necessary to unicodize the fucking hieroglyphs ? even supposing the chinese are inseparable from them. why not simply carry them as bitmap matrix.)
asciilifeform: also you forgot, in the original, to divide the length of ffa by 64 (bits), yours will blow up instead of run, gcc by default does not give infinite stack
