mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i recall
a month or so ago when this happened and they tried to blame it on the crew.
mircea_popescu is vaguely unsurprised that rando who spends his time vaguely considering "invertible compilers" for, obviously, javascript, has yet to actually produce
a definition for itself.

scriba: Logged on 2016-09-07: [01:06:18] <asciilifeform> 'Really, I think it’s too late for mainstream “Linux”. It’s gone. It’s done. Geeks of the world were easily fooled by
a shiny new toy and
a corporate propaganda campaign to match, without considering the engineering implications. You can still use
a real (systemd-free) version of Linux, or move toward the BSDs, but if you stay with the
alice_: & the syntax is similar to
a literal keyboard when possible
alice_:
a homoiconic format for binding keyboard keys
alice_: i seriously tried lisp, i spent hundreds of hours coding in
a variety of lisps, including clojure (ugh) and arc (lovely but it was for
a production web server and it was completely unsuited to the purpose)
alice_: seems to be
a lot more natural language for
a lot of humans for
a lot of things
boolcrap: they have me doing odd jobs, doing prep work for
a RE course they teaching at UM
alice_: afaict christopher alexander is using "pattern" to mean
a basic component of language, not the thing which macros remove
boolcrap: i finally got official access to the place i am
a contractor for
alice_: right, macro is an excellent way to use patterns in code (and is itself
a pattern)
alice_: i read
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=401. it doesn't mention design patterns. i'm p sure i can guess correctly the bad thing it's complaining about, but i didn't get
a model for how design patterns are
a language bug
alice_: if i had
a dollar every time somebody made that joke
alice_: mm. it's
a mix of theoretical and applied architecture. generalizes nicely to all of design.
mircea_popescu:
a government can never be solvent ;
a government can never operate legally.
☟︎ shinohai: trinque: thx I just always found it annoying griible required
a ;;more when it all fits in 2 lines fine.
mircea_popescu: you know this "you are very welcome daddy" think keeps reminding me of this ... i don't recall, maybe
a succession of sms captions ? where
a clearly competent streetwalker (of the sort that lives on street most days, checks into motel now and again) was assuring some random dude that she doesn't mind his friend beating her up.
shinohai: Notice jhvh1 doesn't require
a "more"
mircea_popescu: yes, but
a z80 clone chip is no sort of fpga forcrying out loud.
mircea_popescu: we're discussing here, modern clone of symbolics machine, or
a similar item.
mircea_popescu: if i know they take
a month i just start
a month early.
mircea_popescu: i literally do not care if preparing the signed copies of warrants for s.mg takes
a minute or
a month.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck ? no chick wants
a gf ; esp not
a shitty emulation in male hardware.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why the fuck this error is so common, but it dominates anglosphere. "white knight" = dude who is trying not to be
a good dude, but to be the best chick he could possibly be.
mircea_popescu: there is
a clear market in high assurance hardware to do things such as signing, encrypting and bitcoin payments where time is not
a concern.
mircea_popescu: sure. but the idea here is to build an upgraded symbolics machine ; not to build
a competitor for current intel offerings.
trinque: asciilifeform: looks like you've been doing marketing for
a non-existent networking gear company all day
mod6: yeah, alright, i'll take
a look.
mircea_popescu: if someone made
a fpga-based clone of the symbolics machine that'd prolly get
a bunch of people to wet their pants.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-22 01:47 asciilifeform: i actually spent the first ~6 mo. after i bought the lisp machine, trying to rig up, with fpga,
a mechanism to read the fucking disk
mod6: so yesterdays discussion got me thinking about
a lisp machine (lisp-cpu) with verilog on
a fpga

mircea_popescu: in other lulz : when nixon and rockefeller were negotiating the treaty of fifth avenue, nixon's / gop's "platform committee" was in
a hotel in chicago. they were on the phone for four hours ; but midway, as midnight came by, THE HOTEL OPERATOR PULLED THE PLUG AND WENT HOME.
mircea_popescu: (feel free to drop
a pgpgram when done, of course, i "won't be able to prove it's mine" etc.)
mircea_popescu: the saudis have an actual culture. all the ustards have is
a well lubricated hole.

jhvh1: shinohai: [KJV] Matthew 22:24 :: Saying, Master, Moses said, If
