mp_en_viaje: there'll never be a better solution ; because
there can't be. because
there's no solution
to
this problem, i can write insane nonsense.
mp_en_viaje: and
this is
the irresolvable problem : by
the very definition of
things, i can write anything.
diana_coman: there's always
this code-text
tension
that annoys me because I still read it as broken-sign: code should be
text but
then each
time I
try
to get it along
text, it doesn't play well, ugh.
mp_en_viaje: ~~ || [[
there's so many syntactically forbidden doublingd anyway.
diana_coman: (heh, reading back in jfw quotes re footnotes, yes: he avoided (()) because of lisp-code worries so ended up on
the <fn> mess).
mp_en_viaje: right. doesn't work for
the "house on
the ground" style 3sq ft spaces. but otherwise -- unbeated, ~unbeatable~.
diana_coman: and up any sort of hills/uneven
terrain, yes.
mp_en_viaje: there is no better alternative
to however many men in
the scattered line, going at it.
they can cut grass at
the speed of a stout walk, which nothing else can do.
mp_en_viaje: yet imo, scything is ~still~,
to
this day,
the superior grass cutting
tech.
mp_en_viaje: it has
that shape, made
to fuck grass. it'll fuck simpletons just as well. hence
the falx,
the
traditional weapon of muh ppl,
the one
thing
the romans feared.
mp_en_viaje: this is entirely possibly
the case ; but i'm not rewriting
the lamp stack
to find out.
mp_en_viaje: specifically because it ~can't~ do all sorts of "desirable"
things
that aren't.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I don't know; why do you
trust php?
mp_en_viaje: i daresay
there exists no other system i'd
trust
to display my words for others.
diana_coman: heh,
that's precisely
the image
that came
to mind:
them fighting and breaking
the
tool while
the grass stood
the same way.
mp_en_viaje: so, you know, php... yeah, it's inadequate for many
things. most
things.
mp_en_viaje: a man with a scythe would have done
that plot in a few hours ;
these muppets broke
the
tool and
their hands and
their hopes for a better future, while doing less damage
to
the field
than a wild hog.
diana_coman: but honestly,
this automated system
that is same for *everyone* is something I just can't see; ie each can automate
their own system, sure; but beyond
that it gets iffy.
mp_en_viaje: can you imagine it ? i daresay you might be able
to!
mp_en_viaje: i pulled out chairs on
top balcony overlooking it and we had drinks watching
the morons fight late summer banat grass with a wheedwhacker. it was better
than
tv.
mp_en_viaje: there's a vacant lot next
to my place, here. and
the middle class "investor" owners of it came late summer
to cut down
the grass (city ordnances
threatening fines no doubt impelling
them), with a brand-new... wheedwhacker,
they paid a hundy or
two for, in
tow.
mp_en_viaje: the problem with automated systems is
this :
the moment you
try
to make automated systems for interacting with people, you're stuck with an unresolvable problem. i happen
to prefer
the scythe
to
the "modern" lawnmower.
diana_coman: I suspect he's coming from heavy-markup use habit
too so probably yes.
diana_coman: that is possible but an additional
thing
there anyway; well, in
truth, ~all php hurts from my pov.
mp_en_viaje: most of php is actually exactly like
this -- "doctor, it hurts when i do X" "don't".
mp_en_viaje: trilema uses (( and )).
this is correct,
too, should be 2 chars not 4, and should not use
the fucking </> format either.
mp_en_viaje: i didn't look into it ; but going by
the novel symbol <fn>, i expect he did a stupid
thing, equivalent
to walking on a rake, by declaring
the footnote separators
to be
tag-like, <fn> and </fn>
diana_coman: anyways, when he wakes up I'll see what he has
there exactly and will figure it out.
diana_coman: ah, in his notes
there is
that *afterwards*, yes
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman,
this seems
to be re
the footnotes ?
diana_coman: but I hadn't yet had
the
time
to actually look at it.
mp_en_viaje: it could be prevented server-side at
the cost of increasing code complexity, which... it's fucking php, wtf.
mp_en_viaje: traditionally
the problem was resolved by getting a fool/chaplain (or both)
to do
the aesthetic rating for
the lord running a public service of import. get yourself some pages i guess.

trinque: mod6: I have made provisions
to work around
the loss of my pizarro node, yes.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-31 21:35:20 lobbes: and in mp-wp bot updates: I've got
the
thing pretty much complete at
this
time.
Trackbacks-from-IRC still aren't sending 100% of
the
time, so I need
to fix
this first. After
that I will be doing final code cleanup,
testing, and
then vpatch. Still
truckin' along
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-31 21:35:02 lobbes: in other weird, I found an odd (albeit edge case) bug in
the new blog selection mechanism. If you do a select
that begins with "
http" (e.g. "?b=
http&e=#select") it will mangle
the selected link in
the post itself when rendered
mp_en_viaje: i suppose we could say women make horses while men make donkeys. people have enough fucking sense
to
take horses
to war and donkeys
to church, but when it comes
to
the other equine
they psychotically reverse for no reason.
mp_en_viaje: i meant stronger as in "a stronger play",
they make better horses, how
the hell should we introduce
this concept.

ossabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-31 whaack: lobbes: i am working on a solution
to
this
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-31#1948993 . you don't want
to put any string for
the b query param
that is going
to match a string inside of an anchor
tag.
this problem occurs frequently because often
the same
text in a link you want
to select is inside of
the anchor
tag: i.e. for
the
text 'mp writes at <a href="
http://trilema.com">trilema</a>' if you
try
to select

mod6: trinque: Since you -1'd me, am I able
to get my coins out of deedbot still?
mp_en_viaje: an' now,
time for a nice long bath ; with a bottle of pelin rosu de urlati (man...
that's something everyone gotta
try sometime).
mp_en_viaje: i admit
that he doesn't sound altogether sane, an' if you wish
to
take it as a poor reflection on my judgement
that i permit insanity
to stand in
the light i'll have
to bear it ;
the alternative strikes me as outright perversity and i dun wanna.
mp_en_viaje: i had no intention
to negrate him at
the onset ; i still have no intention
to, notwithstanding he's spewing all sort an' manner of insanity --
this not because it's laughably ineffectual an' self-defeating, but because i don't believe in damnation by quality.
mp_en_viaje: but seriously : asciilifeform has over ~all
the other morons of his ilk (though
they prefer
to call
themselves "engineers" or w/e)
the significant superiority
that he wants out of his idiocy at least
to
the degree of
talking about it, contrasted
to
the
more customary "keeping
to
themselves".
mp_en_viaje: o btw, i nearly forgot! hey
trinque , are alf's funds confiscated yet ? partay ?
diana_coman: there's all sorts of simple and not all of it boring;
that
there
though would be
the boring-simple, more like
the simple remains of a cut-out
than
the simple path
to
the core of an intricacy.
mp_en_viaje: Our natural business lies in escaping. If I can
take
this oath, I will."
mp_en_viaje: "Listen, Meg. God made
the angels
to show him splendour. As he made animals for innocence and plants for
their simplicity. But Man he made
to serve him wittily, in
the
tangle of his mind. If he suffers us
to come
to such a case
that
there is no escaping,
then we may stand
to our
tackle as best we can. And yes, Meg,
then we can clamour like champions, if we have
the spittle for it.But it's God's part, not our own,
to bring ourselves
to such a pass.
mp_en_viaje: "And if it can be
taken, you must
take it,
too."
mp_en_viaje: "Tell me
the words. An oath is made of words. It may be possible
to
take it."
mp_en_viaje: "Do
the words matter? We know what it means."
mp_en_viaje: "Father,
there's a new act going
through parliament. And by
this act,
they're going
to administer an oath about
the marriage."
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, so paul scofield (as a most excellent sir
thomas more)
talks
to his daugther :
BingoBoingo: Even pichis carrying everything

to

the
tiny mommies
tote around.
BingoBoingo: Going from
the muted human sexual dimorphism in Angloland
to Urug land where
the dimorphism is more pronounced...
The greater strength of women is clear.
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
to put at least one rng'd insanity
to rest explicitly : i work women rather
than men not because women are weaker
than men, but because women are stronger
than men. if
this weren't
the case i'd simply be gay, no question about it.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you realise, you'll have
to read all
this
weird crap in like a decade or w/e ?
mp_en_viaje: i'm
totally spoiled for any kind or manner of car usage hence.
mp_en_viaje: fun with pairs of girls. it pays!
think, i can drive perpetually,
there's always someone resting!
mp_en_viaje: florimund did 20k kilometers in ~month. i'm
talking
to like, pro cabbies etc, "how much did you do since you saw me off ?" "umm... 11k or so" "pfff....lightweight!"
BingoBoingo: Nice.
The meat networking here is ongoing, but far more productive
than when I got off
the plain with
the wrong language loaded.
mp_en_viaje: erryone here very fucking exciting
to hear from me for some reason, shall be doing a buncha rounds of coffees and adventuretellings in
the coming days.
mp_en_viaje: well... hm. what i mean is, i'm back at eurocastle mp, rather
than on
the road.
BingoBoingo: Aren't you a little young
to be ending
the voyages plural?
mp_en_viaje: not a great film, but holy god did old new york breathe
through
the background.
mp_en_viaje: im reminded of
this ancient paul newman
thing, he's a drunk lawyer, picks up some
tort case.
BingoBoingo: Well,
they didn't want
to
talk
to
the secretary.
mp_en_viaje: they don't do
the whole secretary
thing down
there huh
BingoBoingo: Not particularly. Did IRL'ing.
The damned's counsel
tried
to call my counsel when he was out of
the office.
diana_coman: not at all, I can certainly do with more clarity on
the whole
thing (hence drafting in
the first place)
