mircea_popescu: i just came up with it.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 17:32 mircea_popescu: first, i will crack all your fingers in the piano. THEN you MAY be allowed to buy ancient laptop and learn to gpg, MAYBE.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1508006 << is this a reference? i should much like to know where ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's no "i fired it but it dun count because isis and shiva"
mircea_popescu: no, i'm not. but if you fire the round you've fired the round.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is a '1shot1kill' sort of fella , i get it
a111: Logged on 2016-01-21 13:29 asciilifeform: 'if i make it what i think is the right size, it crashes!111'
asciilifeform: but instead 'sarge, too much fog, i cant shoot'
mircea_popescu: i couldn't.
asciilifeform: i could even see an argument for, e.g., laser, if there were any place to put it
mircea_popescu: "no need cuz i has scope see"
mircea_popescu: amusingly i've yet to meet someone who could use sights correctly.
asciilifeform: and wtf, first time i hear the complaint about the spring
ben_vulpes: "but i can't let go of the ipnohe, it's got my email and facebookz!"
mircea_popescu: first, i will crack all your fingers in the piano. THEN you MAY be allowed to buy ancient laptop and learn to gpg, MAYBE. ☟︎
asciilifeform: relatedly, 'SURE, IS ONLY YUGOSLAV COPY TYPE BUT IS STILL PROUD DESIGN OF SERGEI SIMONOV. THIS IS LIKE SENDING HIM BIRTHDAY CARD WITH SEVERED OFF THUMB OF DAUGHTER IN ENVELOPE. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERGEI! I PISS ON ALL YOU CREATE!" LARGE MOUND FORMS OVER SIMONOV'S GRAVE BY CONSTANT TUMBLING OF HIS ANGRY CORPSE. IS FAULT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. '
mats: am i missing something or what
mats: i dun understand how this'd prevent exfil when the user eventually turns on the radio to use it
mats: i don't see how this could be workable either
phf: i'm reading http://www.m1-garand-rifle.com/ivan-chesnokov.php
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1507898 << this was a thing of beauty but i lost the link... ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf: aha, i killed an 'm' for many of them
phf: yeah, i see you replaced ctrl and alt keys from elsewhere (and a bunch of others obviously)
asciilifeform: the weird 'lock' key is a ctrl. (i was unable to source a correctly-shaped cntrl to go there, and did not feel like sweating over it at any rate)
asciilifeform: dun forget, i do things with the box other than talking.
asciilifeform: notice, i like programmablekeys.
mircea_popescu: "meta-alt-fuckyourmother" ? really ? i am not pushing that!
asciilifeform: but to this day i have no weird nerve or carpal or whateverthefucks, because, perhaps, i am not a monkey, and do not bang the keyboard all day long
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 15:37 mircea_popescu: phf most people who spent as much as i have with computers a) wear glasses b) have various complicated nerve and tendon damage, esp wrist, elbow etc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1507911 << fwiw i destroyed my eyes with b00kz, the old-fashioned way, before i got to spend any serious time with machinery ☝︎
asciilifeform: what i do know is that actual people who lived in the actual-people-age did no such thing.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1507904 << understand, ALL of the original driver electronics were removed, controller is mine, any key can be whatever i like. i have the middle of the arrows as a meta. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but in fairness, i would say i rely on a very specific sort of literacy. i have people do things for me! you lot, all of you, are the modern equivalent of a barony that is neverthelss being run by the ox-baron personally, by hand. because in the future we have this strange species of ox-man that "can". of sorts, really, only 80% of the can, but hey, who cares about broken fingers and other appednages as a result. HEAR THE OXM
phf: i think naggum had a quote about it
phf: you also rely on very deliberate, minimal tooling. i could for example use nano to write short python scripts, but i need intellij to wrestle with large codebases, and "professional" programmer tools have notoriously bad ergonomics. emacs is notorious for giving its users rsi, etc. but i agree, it can all be remedied with literacy
mircea_popescu: i'm fine. i credit my literacy for both!
mircea_popescu: phf most people who spent as much as i have with computers a) wear glasses b) have various complicated nerve and tendon damage, esp wrist, elbow etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose this makes me bad conscript.
mircea_popescu: i will confess i almost never use the fs and rarely if at all the modifiers.
mircea_popescu: there's worse things i could be doing with my time than handcopying teh masters.
mircea_popescu: i did this gladly, and i consider myself well gained from the exercise.
mircea_popescu: btw asciilifeform : above, I TYPED!!11, by hand, the whole fucking lengthy thing.
phf: oh i didn't realize there was a whole series of these
asciilifeform: if anyone wants one of these things, you can wait a decade for it to show up on 'ebay' or the like, as i did, or you can get the modern reproduction, that someone actually makes, but be aware that it is a castrato (66 key) thing.
asciilifeform: for good measure i coated the plastic (only the top surface is plastic, the rest - 3mm steel, 3 layers thereof) in thick nickel paint
mircea_popescu: i thought it was capacitive ?
mircea_popescu: "clicked traffic" as the thing is called in the [porn] biz being about 500k to the bitcoin last i looked, sometime last year. meaning the entire yearly value of the global "online advertising" market is equivalent to a few bitcoin blocks, meaning in turn that a choice to occupy yourself with that thing is equivalent to a deliberate choice not to matter. nttawwt.
thestringpuller: i hate apache so much
phf: irs claims that he was selling direct, so i don't know how that translates into money at all, it's probably all fixed bid. if he was doing google now and they didn't immediately kick him off the network, etc. he'd probably be pulling more than 5k but of course not "16mil", which is not enough to pay entire gawker staff, but enough to cover his server costs, etc.
phf: we had a thread about advertisement i think copule of times
phf: or to quote The Guard "street value. you boys always go on about street value. i don't know which street you buying your coke at, because it's not the same street i'm buying my coke at"
mircea_popescu: i have personally chased the "Estimated ad revenue" of such people, for years. it never came through.
phf: you understimate the amount of fun those little devices provide :> ukranian guy in poland raking estimated 16 mil in ad revenue, i'm sure he had bitches and bling, rather than you know live in a safe bunker and infosec all day
shinohai: yes i need tohave BingoBoingo change that if he will thanx
shinohai: Yes I meant to start the sentence with "Polish" to clarify that.
ben_vulpes: http://theindependent.sg/smrt-secretly-shipping-35-prc-made-trains-back-to-china-for-repairs/ << i don't even
ben_vulpes: i did not begin to collect those until quite recently.
ben_vulpes: this was back when i considered it disposable and not a treasure, mind you.
ben_vulpes: i have *sat* on the thing to *zero* effect.
ben_vulpes: i have one of the v2s, iirc. fits in back pocket of ~all jeans.
ben_vulpes: i've wanted one of those for a while.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i had them loaded there for years.
asciilifeform: i think this is largely a begging cup
ben_vulpes: this was i think before you were born.
ben_vulpes: i personally want a display that detaches.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i run 4 vertical displays
ben_vulpes: which, if you'll let me finish omfg!, would suck in myriad other ways i can't wait to hear you bitch about
asciilifeform: i would buy it.
asciilifeform: the depressing thing about the crapple lappy (and i think i have the one ben_vulpes has, the maxint one) is that it makes me pine for a few square metres of its lcd
ben_vulpes: i am at the very least lucky that emacs will eat CMD-<anything but tab>
ben_vulpes: i fight this daily on osx.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, i have 1 per
mircea_popescu: if i wanted multiple viewports i'd have bought more screens.
mircea_popescu: even the fucktardation of "resizable windows". you know i never used that stupid shit ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1507564 << i'm beginning to see where mircea_popescu got his notions about 'gui is for lamerz' ☝︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i was barfing at the idea that phuctor is cleanly sliceable into a piece that lives on my box and sends csv to somebody else. very much own thing, from own thread..
ben_vulpes: you were bitching about csvs! how'm i to know what you do and do not know.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1507577 << how didja think i got the, e.g., 'list of e==1 winnerz' etc out. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: that i have also learned recently!
phf: ben_vulpes: you might benefit from sticking byte array into CHAR[] unless i'm misremembering psql constraints on what kind of chars can go there. because bytea is going to have a 4 byte overhead, numeric an 8 byte overhead
mircea_popescu: i guess they call the words "int" and the bytes "char"
ben_vulpes: galls me on some level to think about a hash, which i concieve of as an integer, as a byte array or a set of chars.
ben_vulpes: phf: i know, i meant 'integer' in the abstract, with numeric as the concrete implementation that i'd use.
ben_vulpes: "why the everloving fuck would i install 500 mb of webkit for shit that should have been packaged with the source?"
pete_dushenski: i thought august was supposed to be the 'hot month'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 14:28 asciilifeform: the only proggy i've ever encountered which did.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506980 << emacs has (standard-display-cyrillic-translit "Russian"), which i remember being enabled on the dos build of emacs ☝︎
phf: ben_vulpes: but i'm just being pedantic
pete_dushenski: which i guess basically describes albertans in a nutshell : a buncha rich rednecks
ben_vulpes: phf: i'd like to stick these values into postgres, not hold them in memory in a lisp process.
mircea_popescu: i walk about 14-14.5.
mircea_popescu: i walk faster than that! backwards!
ben_vulpes: ftr i do an average 24.6 km/h for thirty five minutes.
phf: ben_vulpes: well, binary types are unrelated to the issue though. binary types you declare your struct, you still want to decide yourself what goes in the struct. treating hashes as numbers makes sense if you're going full lisp, i.e. you're actually going to do math with those numbers (which is at the end of the day their whole purpose), unless it's not actually a hash but a bit mask or a xor'd something or other
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1507470 << the only good one of this was the one with the southern womenz. i have nfi why everyone thought they could do a version of their own. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose unrelated to your q so nm.
mircea_popescu: I DONT ACTUALLY NEED THE WEB ?!?!?!
ben_vulpes: the entire point i apparently failed to make.
mircea_popescu: they have a point. when i cant get a bottle of nitric acid to carelessly spill on table, there's not going to be any inventions.
thestringpuller: yea. ix.is is good for qntra writers. just make script to dump gpg turd into ix.is and then i can just dump that to irc
