mircea_popescu: o brother, this was one of those total oil loss systems was it ?
mircea_popescu: paper is a miserable fit for the manner in which i read. one day ima actually manage to put into algo form the sort of tree i wish to see
mircea_popescu: perhaps ; but it's not clearly out of the crossing yet, so it may be counted.
mircea_popescu: well, the reasoning was, "as they can't be bothered to read online while out ; so can't they be bothered to read books while in"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of buried tech : ~nobody credits diderot with the first coherent rejection of "intelligent design", but lettre sur les aveugles.
mircea_popescu: it might be the first time i had something cogent to say about code.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's my understanding that the soul of c is exactly "compiler dun care about this".
mircea_popescu: (this is generally the wost sort of problem, when false is the expected return, because undefined often masquerades false, ie it "seems to work")
mircea_popescu: because seems as it is that it may not return anything specifically in some cases.
mircea_popescu: so to summarize : ismine logic is false if !solver, true if item.first==op_pubkeyhash and gethash160=hash160 ; false if item.first==op_pubkeyhash and !gethash160=hash160 ;
mircea_popescu: + BOOST_FOREACH(PAIRTYPE(opcodetype, valtype)& item, vSolution) << more than one ?
mircea_popescu: we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: man gotta know, if / when doing patch work, wtf his stylistic choices are required, expected, desired to be
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes to my mind "c99 loop vs boost blabla" is very much in the same chapter as 4/2 spaces etc
mircea_popescu: question is very general and low priority : "just how far does the stick to 4 rather than 2 space indents thing goes ?".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it does ; not from boost ; satoshi'd have written it as a boost thing im sure
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i thought it gets inherited. entirely likely i don't comprehend c loading model.
mircea_popescu: is there tmsr rule "no further boost constructs added" ?
mircea_popescu: + for (std::map<uint256, std::list<OutputIndex> >::iterator i = relevantOutputs.begin(); i != relevantOutputs.end();) { <<< took me a triple take.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i thought fstream is already included. no ?
mircea_popescu: of course, average samurai cut down >1 peasants before ending self.
mircea_popescu: the problem of course being that competent ruler doesn't need you to cut your head off, and incompetent ruler too thick in the first place.
mircea_popescu: i confess i can't imagine how the suicide of competeny, loyal underlying could fail to drive competent ruler to redress.
mircea_popescu: the more interesting subset, imo, is the protest suicide.
mircea_popescu: note incidentally that even though delayed because slavs retarded, the soviet item served exactly same function -- how to be non-non-soviet.
mircea_popescu: to be noted that l'encyclopedie (the 1700s item) was a LITERARY WORK. with d'alembert almost a sort of tolkien of his time. it mattered not so much whether the items contained were right or wrong (obviously most were wrong, 1700s) but the fact that you could rely on every respectable gent knowing at least of them.
mircea_popescu: yet plenty of comme il faut gents were not thinking men. as per babbage etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not to being a thinking man ; to not being a savage. it's fundamentally negative. know this so you don't end up in the tribe.
mircea_popescu: yes, but the underscore of it all was "these are the things zulus do not know : machine gun, etc. know these so you do not grow up into a zulu."
mircea_popescu: the tmsr log serves a very similar function to diderot's offering, in practice.
mircea_popescu: ~exactly identical item to the female photographer/solider war/training exercise heroine.
mircea_popescu: that the socialist substitute does not work is evident to the proponents, but their interest is of course not in it working. on the contrary.
mircea_popescu: "these are the inferior people to be repressed, for these reasons" is ~the whole point of the original item
mircea_popescu: imo golden age was 1800s, and their principal utility was to provide ideological allignment for patriarchy.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly not saving anyone against his own fucking will.
mircea_popescu: no skin off my back. so i'll be the last person alive to know anything, and every girl i ever meet who's not a retard feels an irrepressible urge to kneel and beg.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i could produce more value than what wikipedia's worth by simply boiling the collection of wikipedia "editors" and selling the broth.
mircea_popescu: they however do not appear willing to compare the 500 hours a dozen men put in to produce an encyclopedia with the 5000 hours a dozen million imbeciles put in to compile the steaming pile of shit aka "online encyclopedia".
mircea_popescu: wikipedia loves to compare itself with the various actual encyclopedias it stole most of the material worth reading from, but on a "per line" basis, as if THAT is the fucking point of an encyclopedia, never mind the COMPLETENESS or RELIABILITY parts.
mircea_popescu: today's street urchin is entirely useless -- he's more than happy to spend 30, 50, 150 years if possible siphoning your salary (which he regards as his living wage / god given right) to pay for the britny spears "music" and entirely similar "start-ups", ie, let a lot of you idiots give us your valuable stuff for free maybe we get enough of it to survive our inept whittling it down and still be somehow worth money.
mircea_popescu: average street urchin in 1917 could be hired on the expectation that after 30 years of either being bored stiff or else payingattention at his job he'd finally make a useul worker.
mircea_popescu: but to come back to it : the plague of "handheld devices" did a lot of damage to the marginal socioeconomic utility of a large class of people. they spend all their brainpower correcting quopedoa/wikira/whatever the fuck instead of spending the same undersupplied resorce to keep track of their customers / car direction vector / etcetera.
mircea_popescu: shinohai yeah it is possible the azn community is spearheading the reculturation process.
mircea_popescu: trinque funny thing being that a) it is infinitely better food than anything pizza hut / taco bell / mcd / kfc etc have on tap and b) it's not really a full dollar a kg from what i've seen.
mircea_popescu: possibly repurposed overhead compartment in airliner ?
mircea_popescu: incredibly popular with various young office drone males, evidently living alone in a sort of ship hold.
mircea_popescu has seen a lot of "comida por kilo" eateries in latinoamerica.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next logical step is to you know, "who ordered the this???". make the customer keenly aware you couldn't give less of a shit about 'em and then whine about how you work in the "service industry" ie he HAS TO TIP YOU!!111
mircea_popescu: bitch, if you don't know who i am you already failed your job.
mircea_popescu: us vaguely heard of this, has inept girly not yet qualified to bus tables in the front office, asking you who you are.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how the shit evolves, though. historically, the maitre d'hotel would be this knowledgeable, older male, exactly equivalent of the village godfather for his little village onto itself. so HE'd greet you and take you to your table, KNOWING FULL WELL who you were.
mircea_popescu: of course, even getting oysters fit for the table in the first place was already a dubious matter then.
mircea_popescu: fifteen years ago it was good sport to order oyster entree with local fellows present. average american will make faces at the half shell and do it no further harm.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, can you even get a proper (14.) full course meal in teh us anymoar ?
mircea_popescu: the us tv has brought about this chef-restaurant manager combo. dunno how sustainable it is in practice.
mircea_popescu: generally it's the job of the maitre d', which in more euro-style restaurants is the you know, favoured louis de funes role, not really rhe chef. but custoims vary.
mircea_popescu: possibly, through having had a lot of muricans in the joint over the years.
mircea_popescu: the (very indian) chef of great local place actually came out of kitchen to see these two people who were eating all the stuff i rodered ; but couldn't summon the courage to more than bow from a distance and scurry off.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you got that particular fetish/brainhole, stroking it is pleasurable, but once the spunk comes out that's it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that anyone reads the guardian for purposes other than superman magazine or hustler.
mircea_popescu: uk had three referendums in its entire history, now they want one a year ?
mircea_popescu: and i swear if i see another one of these ustard precious cuntlet ledes with "o nso and so date so and so insignificant schmuck just like the author was being part of an imaginary sequel of seinfeld" ima kidnap some "innocents" and sell them in gabon.
