mircea_popescu: anyway, i regard the matter of sausage
as solved matter, by the germans, pre fucking the better germans (also known
as jewz). say 1880s or so.
mircea_popescu: i'd have said "go to munich sometime", but sadly this kinda ended. "go to munich with radetzky",
as per the pilsudski story.
BingoBoingo: My impression of Brasil is an alt-America where large swaths of the land were written off
as malarial death sentences.
BingoBoingo: Well, the thing is, how stroked out and vegatative does an
httpd have to be to not serve the plain text asc
as plain text?
trinque: xdel.ru serves up gpggrams
as application/octet-stream rather than text/plain, so I'll have to account for that possibility in the importer,
as drakma gives you a byte array for those.

diana_away: myeah, I gave it a thought but it wasn't the right thought
as it turns out
diana_away: hey, thanks asciilifeform ! I was thinking of you the other evening
as it was rainy cr all the way, lol; and no, still no ocelot !
xdeller: err, I think I`ve found trilema link a few months ago
as a reference in some interesting blogpost
mircea_popescu: haven\'t really been paying any attention, but
as a matter of principle.
mircea_popescu: the problem with this scoring approach is that google or w/e "exciting" "tech" bs is just
as drab, but optimizes for "getting people in the picture".
mircea_popescu: "humility"
as the xtian virtue, right, "love"
as the harem slave's virtue, "do not fucking flip that bit"
BingoBoingo: Uruguay tried
as well, but they really needed a stressor from outside
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Spain is rather impressive
as well

as to break down the find into shards the size they can fit in a pocket, after which they stick it on their oxcart'
mircea_popescu:
AS WELL
AS a ~homonymous~ conjunctive pluperfect with conditional-optative role, "sa fi stiut de dimineata, mincam" ie had i known then, i would have.
mircea_popescu: but the nonmarginal doesn't have the problem here discussed,
as part of the definition of nonmarginal.
mircea_popescu: you register company, you have company receive some dough, which it can use however it pleases, such
as buying you a dozen cars or a piece of real estate or w/e, then you use that for right of stay and eventually passport.
ben_vulpes: less blue hair and fewer kilts
as i move through the digestive tract
a111: Logged on 2018-08-16 16:38 mircea_popescu: the fact that anglotard english "does not have a cannonical body of works", the necessary result of "ameritards stole england's language but had no room in pocket for culture", resulted
as it has in "no great american novel" makes it impossible for engl dept to see what classical lang dept did and do it one better.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: kids would rather sit around the table gabbling about whatever problems 0.00003% of the population have instead of sitting down and reading old shit about universals
as what apply to 99.99% of the population
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the probable "cause" for there not being sane dict for living langs, you realise, is that there IS such a thing
as a cannonical body of greek, but "who is to say what anglovomit does not make the cut".
☟︎ ben_vulpes: trinque flagged whitaker's words for me
as a latin dictionary (an ada artifact even!)
ben_vulpes began the exercise
as a form of entertainment during a road trip recently; "hey baby what do you think of this translation" "what does X mean in context of Y"
ben_vulpes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-16#1841997 << the otherwise-invisible failure to implement anything even approaching intelligence augmentation (or even the statistical AI crap) is never so obvious
as when translating works in other languages on the touchscreendevices: why does 'iBooks' waste all of this time animating between the french and english translations of the book i'm working on; how is there after
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with "happy" families is that they provide no intrinsic reason for offspring to "seek fortune" (
as in the fairtyale trope).
mircea_popescu: Mocky you could just
as well take a woman or two and become mellifluous i mean multifluent.

as first lang, apparently it ~= lead poisoning
a111: Logged on 2018-08-16 14:03 mircea_popescu: imo nothing wrong with using english
AS LONG
AS ITS NOT A FIRST LANGUAGE.
mircea_popescu:
as it turns out, absurdity undergirths human thought,
as a sort of rebar.
mircea_popescu: "when you read a text and can distinguish the absurdities it contains from the actual sense, you may claim you have an anachronistic understanding of the matter ; but when you read the text and clearly see the ~necessity~ of the absurdities, their fundamentally-required-ness, and the circumstantialness of the sense, you may claim meaningful understanding of the item"
as the witticism goes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: imo nothing wrong with using english
AS LONG
AS ITS NOT A FIRST LANGUAGE.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you calculate the shelf life of pages by language space,
as an average, you can actually meaningfully compare languages
as cultural tools.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-15 21:49 mircea_popescu: and since i'm doing "strategic superiority in review" for some reason, do we count
http://trilema.com/2017/lets-put-one-and-two-together/#selection-145.0-149.12 as having protected trump / fizzled the "impeachment" lulz ? or "coincidental" in the sense man who says he's going to do x doesn't do it not because "if you do it ima fuck you up" but for ~coincidental reasons altogether~.
mircea_popescu: but filth sure
as fuck isn't infectious ; and the cvasi-religious beliefs of the subhuman horde neither. they don't end up dirty and stupid because transmission, but because nature.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes! example : "
As a non-Universalist, I can't help but admire the success of this particular replicator. It is brilliantly designed, like the smallpox virus. The fact that no one actually designed it, any more than someone designed the smallpox virus, that it is simply the result of adaptive selection in a highly competitive environment, heightens rather than detracts from my awe."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( if anyone ever sees a -5 , lemme know, it means the machine is prolly on fire ) << I prolly ought to be advised if the machine is likely on fire
as well.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-03 01:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally do you recall that very ingenious thing that worked essentially
as a vinyl record player needle but on a random chunk of clay pot ?
a111: Logged on 2015-03-17 02:26 mircea_popescu: "I’m too smart, Professor. I’ve got nothing to say to normal children. Adults don’t respect me enough to really talk to me. And frankly, even if they did, they wouldn’t sound
as smart
as Richard Feynman, so I might
as well read something Richard Feynman wrote instead. I’m isolated, Professor McGonagall. I’ve been isolated my whole life. Maybe that has some of the same effects
as being locked in a cellar. An
a111: Logged on 2015-05-11 00:08 mircea_popescu: This would also be why I don't think so very much of the libertards, and why I find myself so often in contradiction with people who view them
as either powerful or in any sense a threat (usually both) : they aren't, either, nor could they really be, either, because the only tool they know actually works for them only a short distance of its run, and for us the entire length of that same run. The libertard's gambit is
mircea_popescu: generally, the infant's "that man reads, give me his glasses so i may read too", carefully preserved
as a ~useful~ fatal flaw in the taxpayer's brain by the flawed establishment.
mircea_popescu: theres a whole lot of that in eulora
as well. and in ~all cpp-gui offerings past 20 yearsd
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 21:11 mircea_popescu: the necessary correlate to "no, you can't have your lunch and eat it too, just
as you couldn't when you asked me earlier, and just
as you won't later on", ie, "you won't get the answer you wish to hear no matter how many times you ask", ie, immutably in front of idiocy -- there's not that much to lose, not really, out of public conversation.
mircea_popescu: if she whispers "i love you, master" just
as you feel her asshole tear you might deeply regret having missed hearing it ; but if alf says (yes ? name not pronoun ?) c++ bungled smart pointers, what am i going to miss ? it's not fucking going away. if only it did. it's not. the reason he fucking said it, even is because the damned thing won't go away already.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: otherwise this mega-logotron is actually larger than the freenode it logs. might
as well use IT then instead.
mircea_popescu: "why did russian inventors not develop airplane ?" "and many did the stove crush
as it went."
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 17:07 asciilifeform: prolly the Right Thing would be to have the actual logtrons ( phf's, ben_vulpes's , Framedragger's if he were still alive , etc ) sync to one another
as fallback
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 17:03 phf: asciilifeform: i saw it, i'm pointing out that this addition breaks things. you have to make sure that every single client plays along with freenode's defective ident system, otherwise you get breaks in logs, etc. e.g. phf bouncer is used
as a fallback for logs, to ensure continuity, where the fact that the bouncer would come back naively (i.e. without trying to negotiate with nickserv) was a feature
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't come with a laptop-with-watch-in-it, it's not
as PRESTIGIOUS a job. (term of art, from the guy with the vehemently delectable pork sausage)
diana_coman: and at any rate gentoo is only last linux installed, being
as it is a public toilet iron of sorts, it got at different points in its life everything on
