mircea_popescu: you wouldn't want anyone
to be able
to make a gui without importing rust-whatever ?
mircea_popescu: used
to be exactly what alf says,
the building blocks of "gui".
mircea_popescu: the issue of
textual->pictographic representation is a lot wider and deeper
than what
the imbeciles rephrased it as, and proceeded
to "solve" in
their usual fucktarded manbners.
mircea_popescu: and i suspect
the "unicode" problem is
tightly bound into
this.
mircea_popescu: i guess next
time i ban his whole c class.
two bit shitheads on
two bit shitnet with pooled ips
epony: cut
the crap, what do you want?
epony: Can you guess what
the answer was?
epony: I'll have
to ask
that
too.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 22:12 mircea_popescu: a language dumb enough, by
the way,
that
there's no way
to distinguish between "i expect" and "i hope". espera-m-ia-i pula.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes definitely from "back home", bought it in romania, was unable
to replace because spanish speakers are idiots
to a man, for
the reason
that
their stupid mothers spoke a stupid language
to
them.
mircea_popescu: yet EVERY shop in
this cowtown HAS IT. same exact item. everywhere. pretentious malls, built for no reason, "expensive" "brand" shops, offering...
the same exact nothings.
mircea_popescu: who and in what cloud of
toxic smoke came up with short sleeved bathrobes ?!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yes,
they
teach
the girls
to raise livestock and fix
their clothing
mircea_popescu: and SAME fucking
thing with bath robes. you have your choice of a) plastic, imported from miami or b) chinese notion of fluffed cotton, looks like insane asylum ware, WITH SHORT SLEEVES
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You gotta look for
the girls
that grew up in places where "4H" is a
thing
mircea_popescu: fwiw, proper size beach
towel had
to be crafted, "not available" from "retailers" of "industry"
mircea_popescu: yes it's fundamentally stupid ; but superficially sane. and in a world
that's fucking stupid
throughout,
the "i don't give a shit what
they started with,
they have x y z working processes" is quite
tempting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform handsewn underwear, so help me.
this is how stuff like mormonism endures, ftr.
mircea_popescu: they're so god damned useful,
these pointless morons, i have an assembly line of stripper-phds running all over
to find
the most banal of items.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't remind me, i am $1000 dollars into
the adventure of finding underwear for myself.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 23:41 asciilifeform: generally --
the industrialist saw
the artisan as a headache, and killed him. nao we get
to 'enjoy'
the fruits of de-artisan'ed industry.
mircea_popescu: what
the "gay community" got out of
the mess is
that it's actually even MORE difficult for gay man
to find a partner
today
than it was in 1980.
mircea_popescu: it'd have been a fuckhell of a lot better
to NOT liberalize it, and for
the effort we'd still have a bunch of sad faggots crying in
the corner, AND ALSO a natural and universally confirmed expectation 20something housewife-to-be can work webirc by herself on first encounter.
mircea_popescu: but what we got for
the "diverse, inclusive internet" is
the move from
the "sov schooling & father's army belt" 1980s where ~all kids understood most basic
things naturally~
through a period of "confusion" and into
this situation of smartphone and food delivery, where ~all kids understand nothing useful~.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 16:23 asciilifeform:
the 'postel's law' nonsense, of silently forgiving people who send liquishit at
the dusty disused corners of
the protocol, enabling
there
to even ~be~ such a
thing as dusty corners in a protocol!, MUST die.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 16:40 asciilifeform: gnat has a deliberately brittle behaviour re
the restriction pragmas -- if you use one it doesn't know about, it barfs. ( and i'm not even convinced
that
this is wrong. half of
the appeal of ada is
that it
takes 'postel's law', rips off its head, and fucks
the stump )
a111: Logged on 2016-06-14 14:25 asciilifeform: did we ever do a 'postel's law not only considered harmful but a disaster of epic proportions, quite comparable
to leaded petrol'
thread ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there are some very strong arguments available for intolerance.
mircea_popescu: very much like "preventing ~other people~ from smoking means 7% of
the
taxpayers don't die early from cancer
they got ~in
this manner~, so
they either find some other abortion mechanism or else even worse news,
they get
to pass on
their shitgenes)
mircea_popescu: "oh, but
this means 7% of kids don't get
their shit beat out of
them regularly ages 6-9 for
THIS reason"
mircea_popescu: somehow
this never figures in
the blather (also called "conversation" in-universe) :
that
the COST for "being inclusive
to left handed people" is
that a) all
tools now must come with manual indicating whether left or right handed item and b) it's ambiguous, when going for a
tool, which hand
to go with.
mircea_popescu: because back
then, yes less diveristy, and consequently, also more obviousness.
mircea_popescu: "things
that crawled out of
their mother's cunt, stuck around long enough
to grow a cunt of
their own, and
tits
to go with it"
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, i don't fucking remember having
to explain anyone how
to use webirc in 1998.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform remember back when "self evident" was a
thing ? legitimately, was an actual
thing.
mircea_popescu: downconverting is a much stickier issue
than meets
the eye
trinque: asciilifeform: happen
to have a recommended SDR?
trinque: (none ought be in
the bootstrapper either, as I
think
they're all masked,
though not by any hard protocol)
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 18:02 phf: gentoo out of
the box
turned out
to have all kinds of interesting surprises (i haven't ran gentoo in years, so it was interesting
to see
the holes
through which
the darkness comes). like
the foo-9999999.ebuilds
that just pull from
the mystery github repos without any kind of checksumming
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 16:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo
this is not even
the wrong way ; will not only significantly cheapen our end, but ~all of
the enemy hardware will ahve
to be replaced, at capital costs far exceeding its current capacities (projected
to diminish in
the future as
they may be)
