mircea_popescu: what, you gotta know how to spell to be a poetess ?!?!
mircea_popescu: anyway : the nedeflorena looking character on the left is some wanna-be poet, ie unmarrigeable and unskilled but by now too old boring female. the other one is an ambitious sort, trying to make money by selling crap, in this case vegan food. she's at some point a decade ago briefly attempted to exploit for pr reasons this mentally deranged cat lady suzanne-something, who claims to be the "suzanne feeds you oranges" in leonard
mircea_popescu: pesky upstarts that were competing with my motorola brick!
mircea_popescu: nono i was talking about "imho it is a mistake to make such a piece. folx who did not appreciate it from the b00k, had no business touching it"
mircea_popescu: trinque the king wasn't in any sense shitty, mind. you familiar with the tea story, yes ?
mircea_popescu: misconstrued circumstantial constraints, "we're a business, we don't have the time to fix the world" "oh, those guys failed, we gotta '''learn''' from their experience" etc
mircea_popescu: idiots without a culture and without a history. "we found that lantern in the woods, and boy, those were the best days of chuka life!!1"
mircea_popescu: "Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit, Jody got married, shoulda known, we'd never get far."
mircea_popescu: cuz that's what language means. has, or at least could have, self universe.
mircea_popescu: ie, does this alleged non-scripting-language bootstrap ?
mircea_popescu: in principle anything that can be run can be compiled, this isn't a matter. the question to you alf is, that "actual optimizing compiler, like gcc", is it WRITTEN IN ERLANG ?

mircea_popescu: i can compile javascript to bytecode. what's that prove ?
mircea_popescu: lua also worked well in its industrial niche ; dob isn't that much of a consideration imo
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they imagine this. in point of fact the system that delivers milk in a bottle so they don't have to milk their own cow is MORE complex, not less.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: fucking decay of idiocy, they want to turn the nodes-notnodes binome into fullnodes-nodes ? if you don't verify blocks you're not a node, if you can't program the machine it's not a language etc. holy shit.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, when the fuck did a COMPUTER LANGUAGE, ie, a language you can program the machine in, become a "systems language" ? why, to make room for javascript being a language ? it ain't a fucking language, it's a scripting language which means jack-all.
mircea_popescu: they're mentally retarded, there's no two ways about it. people who are in their 20s/30s today and were parented by the idiots and imbeciles in their 40s and 50s and 60s are simply and irretrievably retarded.
mircea_popescu: " My name is Joel Jacobson. I’ve been using PostgreSQL almost every day since 2002. Recently, I started getting involved in the community around this fantastic RDBMS."

mircea_popescu: much like opting to have a natural compost pile in a shady spot in the garden instead of fertilizer and "modern our democracy" will result in a much better ecosystem, with birds and earthworms and so on ; just like a good cheese and yogurt diet rather than taking peptobismol will result in a happier digestion ; just so havinga house full of linens rather than nylons will result in a much happier overal environment to live in,
mircea_popescu: so you're up to a certain point stuck overwashing once you buy the plastic angle.
