mircea_popescu: derstanding of the ethical progressivism of society-- better than lawyers or engineers or teachers or priests or anyone else-- ethics which they admit are
constantly evolving-- but have thankfully, magically, and conveniently reached their culmination with today. The end of history. 4000 years of ethics, useless; they got it all right with a grant from the NIH and a subscription to The New Yorker."

mircea_popescu: "Browsers without javascript aren't supported by Foswiki out of the box. We once decided to assume that nowadays everybody should have access to a sufficiantly standard browser that implements javascript. Of course this was different 15 years ago when we still had to deal with IE6 and the like. But as almost all vendors

mircea_popescu: "I have a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be taken in the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want to be around you that much. No one does. This isn't because you're a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person that the kid benefits from
constant exposure to you. When you have something to offer, maximize
mircea_popescu: The music of John Cage, Charlotte Moorman and Annie Sprinkle will take you by the hand, correlating Gamma zeros with prime numbers! Imagine deriving Euler's
constant from Stirlings asymptotic series! Imagine never living in fear or embarrassment again! This life can be your own!
BingoBoingo: Missouri has two rivers and the Ohio river terminus. Vast amounts of bulk goods

mircea_popescu: the only true drawback is that unlike real estate, this is a
constant maintenance racket. everything you have at any point won't be useful in 5 years, or even 3. things move too fast. so its not one of those "do this right once it's done forever" stories like alf likes. it's more of a "hold this lamp up".
gabriel_laddel: Instead, we stack layer after layer of additional convoluted crap on top of what we’ve already got because we don’t know how to fix it. Instead, we flit
constantly from Thin to Mongrel to Passenger to Heroku to Bitnami to Docker to whatever new way to deploy trivial apps came out yesterday. Instead, we obsess over adding better Sass integration to our frameworks.

shinohai: til you really don't need anything special to perform a DoS attack on reddit besides a script that
constantly f5's the page.
pete_dushenski: 'in the database dump from Impact Team, all we can see is the ample evidence that male users were contacted by bots pretty much
constantly. Those data fields tell us that 20 million men out of 31 million received bot mail, and about 11 million of them were chatted up by an automated “engager.”'

mircea_popescu: "I told him not to worry about it, because so long as he built something good enough to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve. If he was bad at extracting money from people, at worst this curve would be some
constant multiple less than 1 of what it might have been. But a
constant multiple of any curve is exactly the same shape. The numbers on the Y axis are smaller, but the curve is just as stee

constant tv rotation in the early 90s, that are simultaneously associated with collapse, "wild 90s" and plebs getting fucked left and right by yeltzin, oligarchs, tv spiritualists, scams, central bank etc.

constantly rolled up in higher and higher schemes, because at all points throughout the past two centuries, bismarck's folly (pay now and the more people coming next will pay you) seemed too big to fail.

Adlai: a
constant is a lot less state that max(
constant * average, variable)
mircea_popescu: but it horribru or not horribru - a) we are currently keeping state, just, as a
constant and b) there is no way to make pie-in-the-sky arbitrary values work.

nubbins`: “In November 2004 the house insurance dramatically escalated from $552.00 to $1,315.60. The municipal appraisal was
constant. The insurance brokers advised me that it was almost impossible to obtain insurance for a downtown, partially attached house. They advised that the new rate was the best they could obtain.

gabriel_laddel: BINGE is a FFI generator for Common Lisp. It parses C source files (header or code, it doesn't mind) and spits out a FFI for your Lisp system of choice. Functions, global variables, types and symbolic
constants can be extracted just naming them. Its design is modular so that adding a new FFI API is a matter of few hours. Back-ends for SBCL, CMUCL, LispWorks, UFFI and CLISP are provided.

gabriel_laddel: Hrm. Perhaps I should have said "not everyone sees everything through the lense of sexual attraction
constantly" - myself being a prime example.
mircea_popescu: looky, there's very little point in
constantly rehashing this particular form of learned helplessness thing you got going. i don't work that way, i never worked that way, it doesn't in any sense work. it can be a quaint curiosity if you wish, a peculiarity of a peculiar gentleman if oyu must. it can never be more than that and it can never have any impact or meaning in the world.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Indeed, first raindrops fell. Not much yet other than a

williamdunne:
Constant issuance rather than a hard ceiling like we have in bitcoin
williamdunne: Mining
constantly incentivized by permanent sub 1% inflation, and a dynamic block size which allows something like the median block size of past week +20%
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, i suspect a large number of the rapemeat, aka sjws, actually masturbate, at least mentally, to the idea of them being blind from birth street urchin sexually abused on a
constant basis.
isaackl: My personal theory was it's similar psychology to RPGs, clicker games, even strategy games a little bit. You're
constantly chasing advnatages which let you chase advantages, etc
isaackl: Then gold will quite possibly win the runaway effect. The gold mining rate is a
