asciilifeform: atm this proggy does ~not~ write to the disk -- all state is lost when switched off.
asciilifeform: linux, interestingly, seems to spend good % of its boot cycles in the calculation of 'bogomips.' if subtracting this, thing boot in coupla 100 msec. (as is, approx 8sec, on my irons)
asciilifeform: 'bogomips' figure will be same errywhere, as there is no iron timer simulated yet, the faux timer is simply 'erry N instr. ticks'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if you have 5min, go ahead an' boot it up, it boots...
asciilifeform: will genesis like civilized people when myself have a free hand (atm do not, still writing piece re what remains to be done in ffa and how long takes etc )
asciilifeform: the reason why posted, is that theoretically this is enuff to start the cuntoo port. supposing anyone finds himself with a free hand.
asciilifeform: req'd mem is ~200 bytes + however big is the memory image used for particular run.
asciilifeform: there are ~no~ dependencies, and yes not libc either.
asciilifeform: currently i suspect it is world's fastest emulator, for pc, of any machine whatsoever, but suspect can be made yet speedier (see comment re tlb entries) and elsewhere.
asciilifeform: ( for thread-completeness, the missing pieces afaik are : 1) handle speshulcases of 'div' and arithm. overflow trapping -- neither apparently used in linux, but presumably used ~somewhere~ 2) iron timer slave thread 3) nic 4) disk i/o 5) cuntoo port ! )
asciilifeform: there's a version that actually logs erry single tick and fills yer disk, and a set of utils for cutting apart said logs, but omitted here for clarity.
asciilifeform: includes ~complete instruction set guide (in comments.)
asciilifeform: imho is reasonably 'fittable in head'. if tonight piano falls on asciilifeform , it will not be difficult for someone else to add the missing pieces.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re uy election piece -- i'ma have to confess that it reads to me exactly like descriptions of footballism. i.e. massive pile of unbound symbols☟︎
asciilifeform: i.e. apparently in eureich , officials hold copyright on their mutterings? had nfi.☟︎
asciilifeform: extended ver., linked via BingoBoingo's lul >> 'Immer wieder versuchen Reichsbürger und Selbstverwalter, Behördenmitarbeiter bei Amtshandlungen zu fotografieren oder zu filmen sowie heimlich Tonaufnahmen anzufertigen ... '
asciilifeform: ( gotta also wonder, do they still fly each newly-'elected' chancellor to washington for 'the talk' ? or does usg make house calls these days ? )
asciilifeform: 'Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland sei kein souveräner Staat' << noshit.
asciilifeform wonders whether in current italy there are also 'reichsburger' , who demand to be dealt under proper roman law...
asciilifeform: there's a sovok-flavoured variant also ( and stoked somewhat by the fact that sov passport is still theoretically valid in modern ru )
asciilifeform: i cannot say why they did not build the (youngest, i think, in world) wash. metro -- 1972 iirc -- with 100% bidir. platforms
asciilifeform: ( in chicago, many do, but still iirc not all )
asciilifeform: they do not of course physically cross even here. but the trains do have to switch sides, i dun know of any subway anywhere where ~all~ stations have bidirectional platform
asciilifeform: ( they in fact do. but not 'because rich', but rather because will sooner forgo food than to forgo to 'feed' truck, without it is as without legs )
asciilifeform: pretty common cockroach in head of 'vhs' orcs incidentally -- 'in usa errybody's rich, see, even elderly widows own trucks'
asciilifeform: i'ma guess that these come from same fountain of liquishit as the 'hotel' in oslo -- i.e. clients unequipped to distinguish the sham from real deal
asciilifeform: cannot nao find in O(1) this piece, but iirc had 'picture if you called undertaker, and he replied that he's waiting for a tram with enuff room to bring the coffin'
asciilifeform: which was memorably odd and howthefuckdoesitwork
asciilifeform: re 'bottom inflection points' -- iirc mp_en_viaje also described existence of whores in south amer who 'make house call' but haven't own transport
asciilifeform: this is prolly where asciilifeform ought to honestly admit, that he dun even have the equiv. of 'three grades of church school education' in this subj : in fact had never been to a bordello at all. so the last thing alive vs subj expert.
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje did one time write a portrait of a sad bordello he went into, (in cr?), where chix on flea mattresses behind curtains. but presumably this -- was for sport
asciilifeform: is logic here that if it were a quality bordello, neon would be rounding error in operating cost ? and therefore 'wrong gate'
asciilifeform: only mp_en_viaje can say why did not go in. i cannot.
asciilifeform: i admittedly have possibly simplistic picture, where it's quite same as miller
asciilifeform: ( or would've stayed if saw neons ?? )
asciilifeform: hm. but presumably mp_en_viaje left not 'because garage' but because was empty or fulla sad people ?
asciilifeform finds that 'flashy' is ~inversely~ proportional to functionality in erry industry he personally touched. why ought whoring to be exception ?
asciilifeform: why invest in 40 metre neons and megalith if mp_en_viaje will just as happily come to properly equipped garage, maybe is the logic
