mircea_popescu: lol. and even better - he wanted to buy it, to show how easy it is. then it wasn't easy. but instead of publishing a piece about how "
i thought it was easy - turns out it's not", he has a ...
mircea_popescu:
i suppose that's how the whole soypizdi thing should go, too. "no ty, you're a dude" "
I AM NOT A DUDE
I AM A STUDENT!!!"
mircea_popescu:
i don't get it. gun shop refused selling to alcoholic wifebeater, he identifies as "journalist" and butthurts all over ?
mircea_popescu: but yeah, this is a pretty good model. "natural language is just like a computer language that had no // or quotations." "so how do
i know magic strings, and comments, from code ?" "your mother."
mircea_popescu: ps : why is "common wisdom" in agreement that "no man could possibly hold 1mn lines of code in head" when
i actually have 10mn words worth of trilema articles in my head ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i have like a feeling that if
i offered them to wear a cock cage and watch quietly while
i fuck the girls, more than half would gladly accept.
felipelalli: and a "premined" coin (dev coins) is easy to inflate the final marketcap:
I just create 1`000`000`000`000`000`000 coins and sell to my mum at $ 0.01
felipelalli: Really, if
I had my life invested on it and
I were the 1.77% "NO",
I would make a campaign to "the resistence" and ask to users change the PoW algo due to defend from this clear mining attack.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
i kinda doubt it. there's really not much common root between me and teh esl derps.
trinque: pls more complexity since
I do not have 1mb/10min to spare
Framedragger: asciilifeform: haven't heard but from looking and inferring you meant it's shit,
i respond that it's still funny to me!
a111: Logged on 2015-05-18 23:49 mircea_popescu: admittedly,
i'm more like a 1700s mind.
Framedragger:
i was just made aware of this term;
i wonder if this may help me to conceptualize mircea_popescu in my mind
a111: Logged on 2016-06-22 18:46 mircea_popescu: how THE FUCK do they get away with it.
i mean, they still give the bums the sort of stuff bums misrepresenting tghemselves as "students" and "With potential!" get all over the world
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sweet dreams are made of this, who am
i to disagree.
i own the world and its seven seas, every nigger's lookin for free dough...

i found it especially entertaining how reddit folk (at least used to) believe the 'if only male birth control pill' thing would make any difference (if such thing existed, 'paternity' would simply get redefined, french style, to accomodate cuckoldry)
mircea_popescu:
i don't think anyone actually understands stupid people
phf: mircea_popescu:
i was trying to describe the kind of thinking that goes into the "linux on desktop" drive
mircea_popescu: phf
i'm not even sure what proper tools to talk about this in. so basically, you're discussing a sort of "nothing happened" for the mouthbreather population ?
mircea_popescu: whole thing's incredibly stupid. fuck you if
i'm going to pay a red cent to the "state budget". once
i make a factory, it'll assemble its own tanks and fucking shoot the lot of them derps.
phf: there's a "mail client" which is a modality, can be inline, can be a popup, as long as everything's kept in same modality. "now
i interact with electronic mail, what pray is this pdf document??"
phf: no, no, not mine,
i explicitly use "in" as a windowism, because it's a thinking thing
mircea_popescu: if
i awk | sed | grep do
i read stuff "right in the grep" or "right in the awk" ?
phf:
i guess the two are in lockstep. you get pdf in your email, you save it to file, you open it with xpdf. a dwim equivalent is to open it, dwiw style, right in the mail client. can't do that with xpdf (actually you can but need to read specs for x11, yawn), so make xpdf into a library, embed the whole thing into client.
phf: but
i think the library problem is separate from dwim problem, where retards find all these levers, and go "oh
i can rube goldber level 1 to lever 12 so that, but
i'm missing an
http client library to do this so
i'm just going to bring in libweb and everything will be peachy keen"
phf:
i knew that one would trigger you.
i just discovered it few months ago, was so upset
i stopped using that gentoo laptop
phf:
i think these are two parallel process though
phf: when
i started using emacs there was an almost ideological aversion to DWIM in the community, instead of having say smart context "search" thing you'd have a dozen search-foo-in-bar combinations, and that was thought The Right Thing. emacs has long been dragged in the dwim direction by the usual suspects, but the vogue elsewhere is now dwiw,
i.e. do what
i want. as explicit/"want" gap gets bigger, you're going to have all kinds of attack vectors o
trinque:
I crap out an encrypted OTP
mircea_popescu: both to the helicopter mom that importantly recommends you "be careful" (bitch - be careful IS ALWAUYS TRANSITIVE. if you don't specify the object
i'ma slap you)
mircea_popescu:
i am familiar with "a dime", which simply means "perfect", which doesn't denote anything but thjat's ok.
ascii_deadfiber: ah
i thought 'hb' was reference to a type of pencil sold in usa
mircea_popescu:
i BET YOU that it's some sort of derpy "co-op" "al costo".
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber
i could have sat there for a week, free. most of them do.
mircea_popescu: how THE FUCK do they get away with it.
i mean, they still give the bums the sort of stuff bums misrepresenting tghemselves as "students" and "With potential!" get all over the world
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they wanted THIRTY EIGHT PESOS for the thing. this is as much as it costs in the poshiest cafe
i go to.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which,
i had a cup of coffee in the food court there.
i was the only guy that bought coffee, everyone else was too busy with utterly revolting meat patties in wonderbread (SUCH an insult in argentina, this, that they'd eat the us crap) and fructose syrup drinks.
mircea_popescu:
i regularly see ww2 benz trucks here. and egypt was chock full of ancient cars also.
mircea_popescu: eh, third world can fix diesel engines alright from what
i've seen
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber they fired torpedoes off submarine at coast goard while
i was there in CR.
ascii_deadfiber: if narcos ever nailed a usg boat with bazooka, it was successfully censored from anywhere
i might hear of it.
mircea_popescu: prior to this encounter
i couldn't even conceive of this notion.
ascii_deadfiber: but
i expect the original will soon enough make its way to a museum
mircea_popescu: in principle nothing ever happened and etc etc,
i think we all know the drill by now.
ascii_deadfiber: incidentally - and
i've not been keeping up with altsc4mz - but, is it necessarily the case that eth price was propped up by burning btc ?
ascii_deadfiber: supposing that they 1) bought the coin 2) can't simply steal it back --
i can see it
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber
i'd trust this eval a lot more if it were based on some experience!
mircea_popescu:
i went to the fucking vagrant epicenter aka "design college" here.
gernika: Curious re: above idiocy of mine wrt "
I agree." Better to deedbot a retraction or just start over with a new private key?
ascii_deadfiber: but
i have some clues. homo usaticus is veeery well-bred for parochialism. easily compartmented.
i learned recently that there is a trailer park 20min away from where
i live. but
i have never once seen it, nor any of the people in it!
ben_vulpes: but
i suppose this falls under "where you live, color of skin"
diana_coman:
I think it might even be illegal in the US if
I'm not mistaking? (kid alone in the street coming/going to school)
mircea_popescu: of course
i've not seen any kids with the threaded key around neck here yet.
ascii_deadfiber:
i had a gigantic bag full of such keys as a boy to play with.
ascii_deadfiber: was it mircea_popescu who showed me what
i was quite certain was an old ru key
mircea_popescu: possibly made by the exact same machines, too,
i routinely find ancient euro machinery at work here.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman the little bitches here are whining that "costs - by the sky, presupuestos (ie, "conditii"), under the floors". you should see the fucking place,
i nearly wept for 1970s nostalgia.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> lol. "on the plus side,
i have my own kitchen. on the minus side, let's go eat out." <- that's the full story of uni dorms really
diana_coman:
I take the carpet away to discover that they had put it on top of all the bits and pieces of walls and whatnot they had gotten down to change the window frames
diana_coman: oh, and on the first day after the renovation thing
I get into the room by pushing on the door with all my might and then
I notice that the floor is bulging all over the place
mircea_popescu: lol. "on the plus side,
i have my own kitchen. on the minus side, let's go eat out."
mircea_popescu:
i suspect it was one of those prison showers & shittery combos.
ascii_deadfiber: net pipe situation in usa is astonishing. when
i was at $rupturefarm... this was a 'beltway bandit', usg contracting shop with princely budget, building had gilded doorknobs and other nonsense, but net was 'comcast' gas modem.
ascii_deadfiber: incidentally, when
i lived in uni dorm the net pipe rocked and never failed.
ascii_deadfiber:
i'd bridge the 2 lans and avoid the ascii_misc_rubbish gymnastics but will need mechanism to switch off zoolag so as not to exhaust the gsm bw quota
ascii_deadfiber: (would buy something else, but
i am not giving a penny to shitcast ever again)
ben_vulpes:
i have removed side view mirrors for that offense.
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber
i was thinking about this too. so now we're going to saddle him with protecting the idiots. what is this, minidao ?
ascii_deadfiber: jurov:
i find it at least as sinful to ~eat~ an '
i agree, signed - X' as to ~shit~ it.
