mircea_popescu: i disagree.
asciilifeform: i.e. the buttons are connected.
phf: i don't know the current mirror, i was using librusec, until that too went to shit
phf: i like how first google link is to mashkov lib (or whatever's left of it, post-burning)
phf: trinque: mechanics of padmasana doesn't put weight on knees. i don't know what that lady is doing (that picture is straight up cargo cult), but even in her caise majority of her weight is on the lower buttocks
trinque: plus I thought he only did trailer park emotional issues
asciilifeform: phf: i bet they have it in japan.
trinque: eh, I'd much rather stand
asciilifeform: in definitely not newz, 'Counterfeit batteries are a HUGE problem on eBay. I firmly believe that probably over 85% of the Lithium Ion batteries on eBay are counterfeit or of inferior/dangerous quality. Most of them are extremely overrated as well. For instance, a 18650 cell simply cannot hold 4000MaH. It’s not physically possible for on of these cells output that much energy without draining it to an unusable state. Whatever th
asciilifeform: i knew where to sell goat in washington.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
thestringpuller: i guess i don't understand the obsession
mircea_popescu: phf i'm of the same persuasion. they should never have included "automagic" conversions.
phf: asciilifeform: having fixed a share of "unicode doesn't work in python!!1" problems, i'm pretty sure that it's an operator problem
mircea_popescu: maybe they fucked up the tools that'd show it ; but i will not believe it's gone
mircea_popescu: i am willing to bet it's still there, in utf.
phf: i recon, that is the gist of the joke
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 14:43 mircea_popescu: you'll end up in a bath tub i'm telling you.
mircea_popescu: then again, i dun think anyone seriously maintained any of this in a decade+, so who even knows.
phf: oh there's a lot of shit like that in btcbase, that's what i was working on while not working on stability issues apparently
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 13:18 Framedragger: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160921/#109 << znc puts shitty non-utf-but-should-be-utf chars in logs, bot trips over them and can't ignore them. that is also (cc mircea_popescu) the reason why it keeps saying it's the same char at same position: even if you just read() the whole file into buffer, it's gonna fail (at the same place). obviously this is unsustainable, i.e. i won't put up with this.
mircea_popescu: you'll end up in a bath tub i'm telling you. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, this nonsense does not satisfy my criteria for "full disclosure".
mircea_popescu: yes dude, i know. i said it!
mircea_popescu: anti vietnam war songs. plus a lifesize poster of randy from south park going "oh... we can say one thing and do another! you can be america's muscle i'll be its caring soul!"
asciilifeform: in other 'news', winblows 10 displays a screen-filling 'WE ARE HAPPY YOU'RE HERE' on install. if i ever drive a gasenwagen, i would like these words to be printed inside, for the 'clients' to read.
asciilifeform: i have nfi who ever supposed that it was?
mircea_popescu: in any case i'm not saying "you alf, do not do what you want to do because stupid people also do it". i'm saying "you stupid guy, going through the motion of alf as you perceive them doth not make you alf."
asciilifeform: i have seen the lenses of the leahs though. they are unremarkable and unusable.
asciilifeform: because the one i live one is a bit different. the orcs compete to swallow max saheeb cock, while feigning 'rebellion.'
asciilifeform: this mythical planet, where the 'third world' represents some sort of escape, i would like to move there.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah i saw that; they deleted one thread and locked the other, it seems. which is lol.
asciilifeform: 'I got a reply from Lenovo on my Best Buy review about why the BIOS on my Yoga 900 ISK2 UltraBook has been set to stop people from using Linux. This system has a Signature Edition of Windows 10 Home installed. It is locked per our agreement with Microsoft. ... The Lenovo employee posted about locking the thread. Basically, he called me disruptive and then said that if they had to, they would turn on pre-approval so that nobody can co
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-21: [04:44:39] <phf> oh, i guess it's just requoting links from inside a111's quotes..
Framedragger: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160921/#167 << yeah, and i'm still unsure if it should not do this. i like it as it provides more context, but it's not.. standardized; it's rather ad-hoc; probably better to turn that off in scriba, and add facility for it to cite multiline passages via privmsg.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i have a similar problem in phuctor, it is a pythonism for which i know no workaround

mircea_popescu: of all the doomed-culture-collapsing dioramas i personally witnessed, this is readily the most amusing.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-19 17:44 ben_vulpes: i doubt it, as everything so far is little-endian, and only by convention reversed by early block explorers to show the zeros first or who the fuck knows i've never found a sensible explanation for reversing block hashes (and only block hashes!)
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-19#1545169 << turns out, i'm entirely wrong and previous block hashes in each block are encoded in big endian. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's some sort of javascript gnarl ; failed to work on first pass and i'm not debugging it. whatever, two girls next door doing whatever.
trinque: I mean, do you enjoy crying?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-21#1546282 << i have nfi what is this. do i have to plug the speakerx in!? ☝︎
trinque: ben_vulpes: oh man, I watched that 3 times so far
phf: oh, i guess it's just requoting links from inside a111's quotes..
phf: Framedragger: i'd very much appreciate if you disable your bot from "supporting" btcbase until it's fully tested. so far it just fucks with people who are trying to get btcbase quotes
asciilifeform: which is what i meant by the fiction. no one will collect so much as a percent of what the lizards 'owe'.
mircea_popescu: right. which is what i meant.
mircea_popescu: in other news if i hear anyone EVER collaborated with francis/leah rowe for any reason or in any capacity i'm negrating.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160921/#42 << sure ; hard to find an entirely clean apple in the swamp. i'd still like to see woit here if anyone knows him enough to invite.
trinque: there's no sport because as far as I can tell, this is a device used to herd cows
asciilifeform: i keep hoping to run into one where i have to pour a cup of tea, scratch head, ...etc
asciilifeform: i will leave 'spot the wtf' as an exercise for the dear reader.
asciilifeform: now i have not read the book herr woit is reviewing, but the review imho is not his finest moment.
asciilifeform: '"We" made no such public statement, YOU did, Leah! As a major CODE contributor to the libreboot project and having been banned from the IRC channel after posting the following (mainly factual) article, I no longer will be contributing patches to Leah's personal "libreboot" pet project, but I will be pushing upstream to coreboot as usual.' -- zammit
mod6: <+shinohai> I only did 2 today, one on each of the usual platforms << ok good deal.
asciilifeform: and ftr i still have nfi why the bot dupes
shinohai: I only did 2 today, one on each of the usual platforms
pete_dushenski: i deserved that
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: "Cock-stuffing" | Go Ask Alice!: <http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/cock-stuffing>; Sensible Sounding : Why I Inserted a Metal Rod into My Penis on ...: <http://www.nerve.com/love-sex/true-stories/sensible-sounding-why-i-inserted-a-metal-rod-into-my-penis-on-purpose>; Urethral sounding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urethral_sounding
pete_dushenski: either way, i'll be hosting it i guess
shinohai: I heard it helps if you insert a sounding rod before sticking in socket
pete_dushenski: ftr y'all can bust a cap in my ass if you ever see me doing anything more than visit a mcmansionous monstrosity for the afternoon. i think it's tragic that anyone considers ~these~ their castles. it's a failure of the education system, starting with their parents, who apparently lacked the cock and balls to smack sense into their chitlin.
shinohai: I was gonna include but I never got it to load pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: re : shinohai's latest qntra, i'll also point out for the archivists that an embalmed copy of the 'bfx-->rrt pitch' is preserved here http://www.contravex.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Bitfinex-Preview-BFX-conversion-pitch.pdf
BingoBoingo: Not yet, just disused. All I lost today was a 21 y/o nursing student who refused to turn her will and life *completely* over to a higher power.
asciilifeform: i always assumed that was BingoBoingo
shinohai: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank pete_dushenski for article sauce btw
shinohai: I tweeted it already but give me her handle, I craft another
mircea_popescu: i'm flattered!
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [16:47:12] <phf> i still think that's the ideal model of computing, mentat approach
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [16:40:25] <phf> well, i do posgresql for money, the appeal of tmsr work is that i can do whatever the fuck, and though that means sometimes suboptimal results, there's a lot of merit in trying odd solutions
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [16:39:38] <PeterL> I am running it now into the past
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [16:37:38] <phf> kind of tricky to cache search, since it's very one off. most load on server comes from searching (i mean it's miniscule still, but...), but i looked at analytics and search queries are all over the place. you have n hits from mentions, which ~might~ be worthwhile to cache. (like ascii does !#s foo, and then there's a dozen of hits from random ips and
mircea_popescu: how is a third party to interact with a "i have 0 secrets" claim ?
asciilifeform: the ones which don't, ring the bell, and i look
asciilifeform: i have monumentally nfi
mircea_popescu: i dun think you appreciate how unthinkable this "we have a single-purpose, fully understood stack running straqight atop lamp" thing is, on account of it being common here.
Framedragger: [22:04:02] <leah> I was considering leaving GNU anyway
mircea_popescu: ahahahah yeah right. i'm sure it will.
Framedragger: [22:03:09] <leah> I still run this project
Framedragger: i particularly like
Framedragger: leah didn't answer yet (i posted the link)
Framedragger: omg i was too late to press return
asciilifeform: i.e. cover in scar tissue, so that nothing grows
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: idea, as far as i can see, is to appelbaum the whole thing
mircea_popescu: meh, i guess i'm the very bored.
asciilifeform: at any rate, i trotted out the probe thing for a reason, you can't really effectively work on bios without one (or similar.)
mircea_popescu: quite. i for one am not the least bit against things boeck-working for the boecks.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm totally sure that'll work.
asciilifeform: to my shame, i read the whole thing.
asciilifeform: (the argentine pickpocket i expect also had breakdown, when he powered the thing up later)
a111: Logged on 2016-02-29 16:55 asciilifeform: so at this point i'm satisfied that rms either 1) does not actually use an x60 machine with 'libreboot' ~~or~~ does not program.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never used it.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: beast's gotta eat i guess
asciilifeform: and just when i thought that the heathens had equilibrated at the bottom of their pit
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160920/#197 << lol i recall that particular alice. god we've seen a lot of these over the years have we.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160920/#189 << in the context of this discussion re freenode, the hardening value of everyone having their own blogs on ~owned~ cms on their own hosting is not lost on the lordship, i'm sure.
pete_dushenski: i guess i'm just unaccustomed to thinking of everything in sexual terms.
pete_dushenski: ok, reflecting on a rather delicious romp last night, i can see the sexual == parenting angle.
