mircea_popescu:
a mistake ~on the level of
a c that included "automagic" memalloc.
phf: and it's definitely ~not~ the case of spreading works. python made
a very right and sane distinction between strings and bytes. and the interaction of the two requires awareness. the mistake that they made is to make the conversion implicit, which lets people pretend like underlying problems don't exist, and when it breaks ~like it should~ blame it on python
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
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 14:52 phf: and for the record, read in python doesn't ever fail, what fails is elevation from str to unicode that implicitly happens in places, like when you do "print" or inside the html encoder or whatever. the correct way is to treat "str" as
a byte sequence, and explicitly do encode/decode when appropriate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at soime point (maybe windows 95 ?) they were adding
a 2 byte "bom" at beginning of all "text" files
phf: asciilifeform: second photo makes it, complete with slightly rounded crt and
a gunky beige keyboard
phf: "man sitting on
a toilet while wearing
a horse mask glyph", which, by u.s. fraction of the unicode lobby is augmented to, "woman ..." "minority permutation ..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the kind you push up and down the hill in
a great flurry to "help with athen's defense"
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 14:43 mircea_popescu: you'll end up in
a bath tub i'm telling you.
mircea_popescu: used to take an expert
a week to make you
a new font. now it's outside of the capabilities of the us government.

☟︎☟︎ 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
phf: the way you deal with this madness you can see in the guts of
a lot of irc clients: you try and decode just that line as utf-8, and if that fails, you decode it as latin-1.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-21#1546322 << this behavior has nothing to do with znc (unless you explicitly configured znc to recode your messages), it has to do with the fact that irc is encoding agnostic. used to be you had koi8-r only channels, or latin-1 only channels etc. now utf-8 is the "standard" but from back in those days you have
a peculiar hack surviging in
a lot of clients. everyone's expected to be able to read latin-1,
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
a minimum of one month after releasing, you notify the vendor.
mircea_popescu: give them
a fatal dose of ricin or w/e +
a scale model of uss cole.
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!"
mircea_popescu: which is the nature and inner core of elitism.
A can do whatever he pleases ; B must do whatever he can. guy slaps butt on street, girl turns and coos ; other guy sort-of-asks-girl-out-with-apology-included, girl looks at him like she never saw talking geese before, guy stumbles to his exit stage left. guy is in heaven other guy is in hell, his life is so unfair etc.
mircea_popescu: it's really in no sense
a new anything ; just restatement of the exact same ancient ideas at the fundament of the republic.
mircea_popescu: quite. this is the important thing here : hanging out with the "cool kids" doth not make one
a cool kid. it's not infectious, some sort of rubeola, that "all" can in principle catch, excepting genetic weird.

a subset, not to mention plainer nonsense of the kind displayed by eg. richard kulisz (see
http://trilema.com/2016/full-loper-os-blogroll-review/#selection-847.0-851.1) or for that matter "lesswrong". between psychotic and neurotic, the beta boi is forever floating on this sea of delusional "you are special and perfect the way y

☟︎ 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!)
mircea_popescu: anyway. along with "kyc", the "sex harassment" is
a primo idiocy to have
a stake driven through heart.
mircea_popescu: o hey. francis rowe became leah to escape being confused with
a bunch of cricket players from the 1800s ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-21: [00:10:00] <pete_dushenski> maybe! let
a guy stick his dick in the electrical outlet woudlja
trinque: there's no sport because as far as I can tell, this is
a device used to herd cows
trinque: But with half
a dozen or more independent servers, the client will end up with chain of proof of any server's misbehaviour, signed by several others, and (presumably) enough accurate replies to establish what the correct time is.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-09 01:23 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and if they decide that 'national s33k0000r1ty' requires
a leap week ?
shinohai: I heard it helps if you insert
a sounding rod before sticking in socket
pete_dushenski: maybe! let
a guy stick his dick in the electrical outlet woudlja
pete_dushenski: same could be said of office building, grade school, etc. operable windows are
a ready solution to the emergency egress problem. 3.8 sq. ft. operable area is mandated in these parts.
BingoBoingo: What really get me though is the distance to egress which makes the McMansion
a deathtrap.
trinque: gives someone
a way to feel around in your bot's guts for information
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.
pete_dushenski: archive.is, webarchive, jpeg thingies... none of them could save it. so there's
a 16mb pdf. hooray
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.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: Error: "<" is not
a valid command.
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: [16:37:38] <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 ?
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.
mircea_popescu: funny how leah is rapidly becoming the ~equivalent for these idiots of candi-is-
a-stripper jen-is-
a-sorority-slut etc
trinque: maybe trying to not trip
a fail2ban
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: do you have
a log of that convo? it would be an entertaining read. or maybe
a short non-time-consuming blog post? ;)
mircea_popescu: damien zammit's piece linked upstream pretty much debunks the whole thing. rowe was
a scammer from day one, stole some work from some naive coder people, is trying to pay for his cheetos with it.
mircea_popescu: what exactly "libreboot is no longer part of the gnu project" is supposed to mean is anyone's guess. the whole existence of gnu is in the form of licenses. they can't retroactively change these. so they'll what, move to mit/bsd licenses in the future ? nobody gives
a shit. are they selling to apple ? wouldn't be the first time fraudulent operator tried this under the guise of "good reasonz, guise!!!1"
mircea_popescu: well, unless someone's VERY bored and wants to do
a deconstruction/reconstruction of the lizard agitprop into actual text...
mircea_popescu: so basically, let me get this straight, trap from nz with
a history of beauty pageants etc, forked some gnu software, nobody cared, then
a few years later is trying to run with it and get credit for the intellectual theft ?
