mircea_popescu: who won what from the whole "black president" charade ?
mircea_popescu: funny how poorly the whole charade worked out. imagine if they came to you, you know, "here guy, you're the least informed dork in all of this obscure university's legal history dept, we'll promote you as the truly white black man! then you can go down in history as the most idiotic black man the soil ever produced, while we move on to different-but-same whiteboi wanking posts".
mircea_popescu: in short, obama is the ~by product~ of a bunch of retarded white boys, nothing else.
mircea_popescu: turns out that yes, hussein bahamas was suckered into that play and crushed.
mircea_popescu: more money away from the competition. (Unless Obama's smart enough to talk congress into investing in the future _before_ it becomes an imminent crisis.)"
mircea_popescu: guy's political intuitions are remarkably weak : "All along, their big worry was the price of oil would rise to the point where alternative energy sources became _cheaper_, and people started funding research into them not out of altruistic or environmental motives but because there was money to be made in the near term. The massive price decline in oil is a mixed blessing for OPEC; it shrinks their paycheck but diverts even
mircea_popescu: "If I go home, I'll be endlessly pestered by cats. If I go into a room and close the door, they'll claw at it, the whole time." << dood had some srs problems. i sent much less disrespectful cat flying out window.
mircea_popescu: these numbers for, or if the perl generating them didn't suck quite so badly.) Tired. Bedtime. Tackle it in the morning." << 2008, this.
mircea_popescu: "So the busybox "dc" command was broken when I tried it, but Denys fixed it last night, so I can do the next perl removal patch now. (I need to get this done before the merge window closes.) Three hours later, I've learned how to implement the greatest common denominator algorithm in shell script using Eucilid's algorithm, and I'm only about halfway through. (This would be easier if I either had any idea what the kernel used
mircea_popescu: he sounds like he's from maryland or something, to me.
mircea_popescu: n Ubuntu 8.10, which eventually turned out to be that gcc 4.3 is miscompiling Python 2.5... Eventually my cell phone battery died from all the calls." << how about this.
mircea_popescu: "Busy all day. The phone just would not stop ringing. Mark called several times (some of them about Paychex), Stu called (oops, late to meet him for lunch), my sister called (wants me to buy her a house, but in a good way), I called my grandparents to thank them for the Red Lobster gift card Fade and I used for dinner, the series of phone calls from Eric was because he had to debug a problem with the gpsd test suite hanging o
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "So yesterday, I told paychex the exact amount of money that was in Impact account, and the portion of that Mark and I each earned, and that my main concern was not bouncing a check. Today, they want to deduct $253.50 more from the account than I told them was in it. Â This did not seem to raise any red flags on their end." << keks. "paychex", also still in business. also still doing the same exact thing -- meanwhile it's
mircea_popescu: the retard medium is the retard message. what the fuck else.
mircea_popescu: dood spent a lot of time disogranisedly fighting the [to him, invisibly] organised morons.
mircea_popescu: the wrong approach. The right fix is sometimes a completely different patch, and sometimes there are several ways to do it which will work, but you have to pick _one_ way or they'll interfere with each other." and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "Most authors mean well, but most changes have problems. Often they are conceptual problems, the problem they're trying to fix is real but they take
mircea_popescu: anyway, equally lulzy is rob langley trying to explain to bellard and assorted nicks why and wherefore wikipedia is a bad thing.
mircea_popescu: most of these aren't. the discussion of massaging long long etc in the tcc for x64 included in that mailing list is most lulzy on topic.
mircea_popescu: "Tinycc was once closer to offering a serious open source alternative to gcc than anything else, and it's still simpler (and smaller, and faster), but part of the definition of its development community was a willingness to deal with development tools from the days of DOS." << what was his problem specifically to this day we do not know (beyond cvs not being able to handle namechanges, much like ~every other wanna-be v until
mircea_popescu: which is, truth be told, what america was all about since day 1, over at valleyforge.
mircea_popescu: the point being, dumbphone creates an imaginary overlay over reality for dumbass to interact with instead of reality.
mircea_popescu: whore's crack metamorphosized into pavement crack, one big government-maintained single-body whore, and the city boi... welll.
mircea_popescu: literally their entire collected works consist of a bunch of them, face to face, tablet/smartphone clutched with white knuckles, finding pokemons.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder that "game" went away, it was the game of fucking life for these "free and open source" minds.
mircea_popescu: and they never, ever, no matter the fuck what EVER engage in any meaningful exchange. two fucking ignominous tards finding pokemons in front of each other on a subway platform. that's all it is.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker, that wasn't what was being discussed, now was it. "if you don't aim to be employed by microsoft stop complaining abouyt windows crashes :)" fucktardry next, whainot.
mircea_popescu: and the fucking :) usage, too. "> If you don't want to have CVS write access on Savannah, please stop complaining about your repository not being in sync :-)"
mircea_popescu: the demons people have to conquer vary by gender, news at 69.
mircea_popescu: it makes a fucking difference, even before we stop to consider that the native female ~also has different primitives~ one can leverage to obtain satisfactory results without going the exact same path.
mircea_popescu: and for reasons, which have to do with the ~ovopositor~ discussion. see ?
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, there wouldn't have been ww2 us bombers under any other paradigm.
mircea_popescu: in any case, let the record reflect i find the pompous feminity they titlessly assume personally offensive.
mircea_popescu: and i view esp the drepper thing very much in these terms, "we are dumb cunts deliberately and by design, and we will not excommunicate another dumb cunt irrespective of any considerations, because believe-women".
mircea_popescu: in short, it's a bunch of stupid cunts tryna pretend like the kitchen's the world.
mircea_popescu: except that pretense is obviously enough a bald face lie, if they were ignorant they couldn't be this systematic.
mircea_popescu: they are ~studiously~ and systematically disrespectful of male hierarchy and patriarchy in general, then they evne more insultingly ~pretend to not even be aware~.
mircea_popescu: whereas everyone else, traditionally, will just fucking permit themselves to be dragged down to the lowest common denominator rather than behead a misbehaving old hand.
mircea_popescu: "He said that they have also contacted the GNU Arch maintainer about adding GPG signing. Though it may take some time to develop, the addition of GPG signing to commits would be a welcome feature. " << see, because we
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775402 over his failure to bring gribble up to spec.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "To that end, the compromise may actually be a good thing in the long run. Kuhn said that they have contacted the CVS maintainers and have offered to pay for development of features that would allow GPG signing of commits through CVS -- making it much more difficult for changes to be inserted unnoticed into code held in a CVS repository." << guess how far this made it, 15 years later.
mircea_popescu: (linux weekly news being the qntra of 20 years ago, except much the fuck shittier, in no small part because fucking retarded editorial team)
mircea_popescu: bout as effectual as the sand dollars i fished at beach last.
mircea_popescu: cuz obviously, they still jack off under covers. they just do it amateurish-poorly.
mircea_popescu: what ~the fuck~ prevented them from saying "loic has the autority to make an alt-logger, fuck your mother." ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's just... they EVEN HAVE THE HOLE WHERE THE GEMS WOULD GO. everything, everything, except not making it work.
mircea_popescu: but they don't say "by his lordship's authority, gna". they say "phylosophycally!!!!" which is a keyword with these functionally iliterate morons, and it's a keyword for specifically "this is where real republic instrument would go, if it existed as it does but we heretically deny"
mircea_popescu: i mean, understand this fucking nonsense : on the very savannah gnu org/maintenance/WhyChooseSavannah/ page they list "Gna!:
http://gna.org/ - philosophically compatible with Savannah, run independently by other people; located in France" ; this is there BECAUSE his lordship loic the schmuck is doing it.
mircea_popescu: "what, is it pure coincidence all inca's boydaughters run about doing inca's will ???"
mircea_popescu: if the "there really wasn't anything there to begin with" was at all controversial, such banal yet obvious yet
disavowed matters would sink it anyway.
mircea_popescu: o, you guessed it!!! "securedrop, for to journalists wanting to wikileaks"
mircea_popescu: that va linux ceo dood, fine. but guess what dachary's doing now ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the lulziest thing is how all these born-in-65-foss-blabla tards end up ALWAYS on the fucking forefront and speartip of usg.blue isms.
mircea_popescu: menalone, a very expensive bioengineering project aiming to emulate two ounce mice in 200lb hominid hardware.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course. and yet IT STILL DID BETTER than fucking "savannah", the cvs pharmacy in 31401 georgia.
mircea_popescu: somehow the lesson that "anomie-freedom's worse than ANY KIND of slavery" still unlearned, 20 years later. "why did savannah fail ?" "dunno" "but you said somethings about it, dorky. where's the review of them ?" "
not me!"
mircea_popescu: ge, but it has a bright future because it is rooted in a cooperative effort of people sharing Free Software. "
mircea_popescu: "Some months ago I helped to launch Savannah for the GNU project because I felt the need of a collaboratively run platform. With friends and co-developpers we are now re-writing and packaging distributed development hosting software. The idea is to be able to install and operate a SourceForge-like site within hours. Savannah will run this software at the end of this year. At first it may have less functionality than SourceFor
mircea_popescu: and so fucking following until we fall the fuck over, how can this dork live with himself.
mircea_popescu: ed it with real people, but instead permitted a buncha weasels to run with it, not even under the supervision and signature of an established lord, because my mother dropped me repeatedly on hard floors during breastfeeding]."
mircea_popescu: ker data /export/sf_tracker_export.php. Few people are aware of the later because it is undocumented. The export page explains how to use scripts that don't exist anymore; implementation of facilities to ease project extraction was stopped. The developer community is exclusively made of VA Linux employees and a few people who are asked not to disclose the current code [and I didn't declare this a strategic objective, nor fill
mircea_popescu: "The move to non-free software was the culmination of a series of steps designed to lock users in. There never was a way to fully extract projects from SourceForge [and I never said anything about this because I, rms, am a moron unfit to lead a L-shaped ambush, let alone an entire world], but efforts were made in this direction--then this year they were removed. At present the only things you can get are the CVS tree and trac
mircea_popescu: RM and in May 2009, Augustin was appointed as the chief executive officer."
mircea_popescu: ber 9, 1999, during the dot-com bubble, VA Linux became a public company via an initial public offering and Augustin, then 38-years old, became a billionaire on paper. In August 2002, Augustin left VA Linux and from September 2002 to December 2004, he was a partner at Azure Capital Partners, where he helped lead Azure’s investments in Zend Technologies and Medsphere. In 2005, Augustin joined the board of directors of SugarC
mircea_popescu: anyway, for thread completeness : "In 1993, Augustin founded VA Research (later VA Linux and Geeknet), while a Ph.D. student at Stanford. Augustin was a Stanford colleague of Jerry Yang and David Filo, the founders of Yahoo!. Filo and Yang introduced Augustin to Sequoia Capital, which provided Augustin with venture capital. In November 1999, he launched SourceForge, a collaborative development environment or "forge". On Decem
mircea_popescu: "might as well this as that, it's all the same anyway."
mircea_popescu: fucking beautiful. "it turns out we weren't about anything in particular, so when convenience rears its ugly head..."
mircea_popescu: "Because of the convenience of SourceForge, many Free Software developers have come to take this collection of features for granted, and would be reluctant to go back to the old way of doing things. Unfortunately, this means that when SourceForge itself takes a turn for the worse, it tends to pull Free Software developers down with it. "
mircea_popescu: meets future wife on bus, doesn't go over (BECAUSE HAS OPTION NOT TO, SEE ???), never meets her again.
mircea_popescu: all these zero-cost options dorks keep writing to themselves.
mircea_popescu: so, where's all the rms "hey folks, make blogs, rms-wp is over there", is what i wish to know.
mircea_popescu: the foregoing has the disadvantage a very good man is still smarting from it ; the latter however IS FUCKEN POISON.
mircea_popescu: get the fuck out of here. in adult world there's such a thing as "this tall to ride".
mircea_popescu: you know, the items discussed, "efore SourceForge, such tools (bug tracking, cvs, web, support, forums, polls, news, etc.) were available individually, but few developers used many of them together"
