mircea_popescu: but
the model here discussed DOES permit very long strings.
mircea_popescu: so if
the init were made so as
to pass cmd line args as
THAT, ie, proiper string, ie 3 part string, ie, x + y + z bytes,
then...
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 14:09 asciilifeform: phf: observe however
that it is impossible
to make use of your approach re cmdline args.
the standard unambiguously mandates variably-lenghted strings ( i.e. dualstackism ) for
that.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 14:06 phf: i
took a different approach, i wrote _to ada standard_ with
the idea
that each interface can be substituted with a custom system specific replacement. for example my character_io is a new_line aware replacement of
the original,
that relies on ada.sequential_io. now if i wanted
to retarget
to small machine, i'd write a custom sequential_io
that uses machine specific calls for byte read/write
Mocky: BingoBoingo, I've just read
through your real estate posts, what was your best source of info re: rentals, was it agencies?

think is
the right size, it crashes!111'
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 13:53 phf: interfaces.c is not a libc concern, it's an ffi.
the situation is
that C can't be linked
to an Ada, even if
the C part has _no libc_ in it
mircea_popescu: can be standardized, "broken machines
to receive software crutches
that meet
the standard".
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 13:46 phf: or is
tmsr ada whatever ave1 put into his musl build, which is, worse, a political situation. diana_coman can argue for her ffi stuff
to be included, should i be arguing for my get/put stuff
to be included?
mircea_popescu: the counterpoint
to all
these issues being
that ~not everything can be standardized~.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 13:45 phf: as far as ada is concerned,
the
tmsr ada is a subset of standard,
that only exists in your head, and can be somewhat inferred from ffa.
that's no standard
mircea_popescu: (i meant especially re
the "Ada standard
turned out
to be dodgy (very precisely specifies some shitty solutions)" art.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 14:16 asciilifeform: ave1:
that'll be
the gold medalist, as it will run on ice40 , i.e. 'tmsr cpu'.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 13:41 phf: asciilifeform: oh yeah, i get it,
the approach requires a GOST cpu with a GOST bus etc. etc. right now
the situation is mildly depressing (though perhaps
that's not
the right word), even Ada standard
turned out
to be dodgy (very precisely specifies some shitty solutions)
mircea_popescu: though generally it seems waitressing is
the cheap quick and accessible substitute.
mircea_popescu: "real activity". what i mean is
that activities can be classified in resistence-of-medium
types, when one interacts with objects, and catcalls
types, where one interacts with people. just like stock
trader would immensely benefit from
taking
time
to do some whittling, just so alma de casa would immensely benefit from
taking some
time
to do paid escort work.
ben_vulpes: human interaction outside of house is
teh next item hue
mircea_popescu: sellign real estate, baking home cookies for faire sale, anything
that's a real activity, as opposed
to gardening. kids, plants, whatever.
mircea_popescu: she'd be better off pole dancing at
the local strip club,
than gardening.
ben_vulpes: she gardens, we're building a fence and working on
the house.
mircea_popescu: try
to not reconstruct
the insanity
that drove
the (legitimate) previous wave "feminism", you know ? it's 2018 after all, no further need of kathleen
turner going slowly insane in
the house of rose.
mircea_popescu: it's not generally possible for intelligent human
to stay healthy, let alone happy, without some sort of activity in
the mix.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes consider it'd alleviate
the need for ketamine.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 12:59 phf: for example in naggum's "history of
time" he
talks about having a package
tz with symbols for all
the
timezones, and if you access say
tz:est or whatever,
the
timezone is
transparently loaded. can only be done in allegro
ben_vulpes: not atm, but mebbe down
the road. would have
to pay pretty damn well
to offset costs of childcare and producing food for
the family at home is
the first reason
to not.
ben_vulpes: anyways early results are coffee made for instead of by me, exercise
taken under own steam, complete cessation of wandering into room and forgetting original cause ("i've
tried
to brush my
teeth six
times
today"), and general lifting of
tenor around
the domus. much habit-building
to do now.
Mocky: i have a nephew who
tried
to get me
to cr last summer and I agreed, but
then he backed out. he was raving about
the place
ben_vulpes likely doomed
to relocate
to austin within
the year
Mocky: more
trails within city limits
than you could get in some states
Mocky: the hiking
there is mind blowing
mircea_popescu: everyone from
texas prefers austin. it's a wonder
to behold.
mircea_popescu: Mocky funny, my favourite place in
texas (and usa, mostly) was san antonio
Mocky: BingoBoingo, yeah I've been
thinking. Spent better half of last year
travelling southern usa and mostly finding places I would *not* want
to live until landing in Austin, which I quite liked. But
then later snapped back
to east coast. I've developed a pretty good sense of my (pretty minimal) quality of life needs recently.
ben_vulpes: .05 perhaps, notes are across
the room. delivered over an hour. asciilifeform doses are well calibrated at
this point.
mircea_popescu: just sayin', why are you lot laughing at me for baseball-batting my
terminals and
then go about attempting
the ~same ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you'rte going
to use veterinarian's anesthetic, might as well go
the whole way and fuck veals, no ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i can see how beatings could kick
the brain into a new regime
mircea_popescu: it is perhaps arguable
that major function of beating is in
this vein.
ben_vulpes: empirically,
there are classes of chemicals
that a) shut down
the aforementioned dmn entirely for a short period and b) for reasons unexplained
this dialing-down of
the dmn can endure beyond
the presence of
these chemicals in
the system (although perhaps not other chemicals
that are produced in response, nobody knows anything beyond
this point)
mircea_popescu: this isn't even gendered in any sense.
thousand mile stare etc.
ben_vulpes: there's a megatonne of dross and snake oil
to sift
through, but another flake ive found is
that
the same mechanisms
that one uses
to process and put behind scary/traumatic/painful events can become
the dominant mode of behavior if
the individual's subjected
to pain/abuse/shit-ass situations for long enough
mircea_popescu: (evolutionarily, if anyone's curious, it's a key component of how
they "fall in love", because
there's need for some ample shutdown of higher cognitive function for
the animal
to permit such gross usage as childbearing entails.)
a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 18:24 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate
think.
there's
two kinds of
think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of
trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ;
the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described as spinning, whereby specific emotional
triggers / detriggers are visited in succession.
the prussian model was never concerned with
the former in any sense, but merely aimed
to elimi
ben_vulpes: the gist i get is
that
there's several physical regions
that see high bloodflow when
the mind is in an idle state
that are correlated with "ruminantive"/"obsessive"
thinking
that are grouped by experts as "the default mode network"
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> hanbot don't
these sound like some epic hats ? << lol,
that
they do.
the question is, wtf is a "puttplug"?
mircea_popescu: phf
there's a strong undertone of "these people are
trading
the grains for
the chaffs"
throughout.
ben_vulpes: not
to derail, but i've learned quite a bit about what neurofolk call
the "default mode network" over
the past
two weeks
phf: mircea_popescu: oh oh i get
the point
ben_vulpes: very explicit understanding between
the men involved
that we're far better off not sharing further
than doing so.

☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 12:55 phf: well lispworks has capi,
that doesn't have an non-proprietary equivalent, so if your work requires any kind of gui, you're stuck with some very dodgy solutions (in
the early days i even used emacs/slime as a gui backed by ccl)
mircea_popescu: seems kite's
tail still
the most practical, but anyway.
