mircea_popescu: (and ftr, the usians had been whining about it just about since ww2. rando with a "
book" on the topic is about as relevant as pink.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, they never specify because they never give a shit. you're generally supposed to have a new
book you're trying to promote or such.
sina: that is the one, although the
book from which it derived is equally enjoyable
whaack: i'm not advocating one doesn't make an effort to learn, I'm just pointing out that the material covered does not "fit in head" (as alf puts it) very easily and thus the main thing gotten from that
book, for me at least, is the deep complexity involved with some of these schemes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he's ordered the early cycle schneier
book, what.
erlehmann: code execution in comic
book parsers
erlehmann: result: i tell people to not write a
book.
erlehmann: i think we submitted more changes than any other
book by one or two orders of magnitude, just because we had it automated.
erlehmann: we developed
book using git and RST (because almost plaintext), with reviewers who also used git.
phf: there's a scene in samurai executioner comic
book, where main character is cutting wood with a very similar looking knife, observed by a local youth. the kid later tries to repeat the move, and complete fails to even penetrate the surface. pretty much where i'm at with all this :)
andreicon: never heard of it, but it doesn't sound like a curse. not in my
book phf: (check it, their second realm
book starts out with TAZ in the subtitle, and that was the mondo 2000 thing, that we're going to build anarchist communes online. idiots, hakim bey came out and said very explicitly that the last chapter of TAZ where he ~speculated~ that internet might have a potential for TAZ was a mistake and to not please refer to your "cybercommunes" as TAZ'es anymore)
erlehmann: for some reason the topic makes me think of the
book “the queer art of failure”
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the danger from reading teh torah comes from trying to read it alone, not from trying to read it at all. << Same problems occurs with reading "Big
Book" alone. People read selectively and get weird ideas. Hence the whole idea of sponsorship, tour guide through the text and steps.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it has a fine profile to reeducate idiots. "dig-find-love" or how did that "
book"/"movement" go
erlehmann: as i said: as a tourist, i probably would not choose airbnb in berlin. reason is that the strategy is working. less stressful to
book hotel room or hostel.
mircea_popescu: i preferred twain, but the problem is twain wrote enough for a coupla weeks, verne for a coupla months. every day as a 10yo i'd come home from school, stop at library, buy another jv
book an' go read it.
erlehmann: for those who know german, i can suggest „die läufige leinwand“ from christian kessler, a
book about american hardcore porn from 1970 to 1985. maybe there exists a translation?
diana_coman: at asciilifeform's link it even says it might have been his wife, not his daughter - so maybe it was more of a consolation/precisely the dedication thing I was saying earlier: too busy to fuck, I wrote this
book mircea_popescu: ie, a
book from 1900 about a major's "what a great time we had" re 1850s wars.
mircea_popescu: if i were a judge i'd throw the
book at this so-called "government" so help me. lie to me do one month in the can, no questions asked. so if it takes fifty da's it'll take fifty da's.
mircea_popescu: myeah. there's this very pernicious "i could read any
book, therefore i'm just as good as one who actually did so read" nonsense that;s by now 100% of white culture by mass.
mircea_popescu: but the fact remains -- you have "The
book" ie a complete description of the god machine. all that's left is to you know, apply them "just the facts" in context.

☟︎ phf: right, i had reddit knowledge of it, but now i'm trying to get a nice hardcopy of a
book that i only have in text, and i'm rapidly gaining tmsr knowledge of just how rotten it is
a111: Logged on 2017-05-29 19:32 phf: (actually i'm not sure if it's the right
book, but i got "hara-kiri: japanese ritual suicide" by jack stewart)
phf: (actually i'm not sure if it's the right
book, but i got "hara-kiri: japanese ritual suicide" by jack stewart)
☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: i picked up that harakiri
book, enjoying it so far
mod6: i really started getting into ada like... maybe a month or to ago, even though I kinda started nosing through the Ada 95 Ref
book a while before.
phf: all three of mine are in
book boxes (i just moved) but they definitely have cyrillic (as well as all the other friends of the people, e.g. al khwarizmi spelled in arabic, japanese etc.)
deedbot: 2017/04/02 08:26:34 <saifedean> in any case, these only inform the last couple of chapters of the
book. the rest is mostly economic history and austrian economics on sound money and its perks & fiat money and its disasters
mircea_popescu: the core is the simple observation that if your trade value of whatever item is above
book value, you should continue to manage it, not me.
mircea_popescu: hoarding it like ~ is borne of a very flattering view of humanity, supposing somehow that the worms could also not be worms, if $magic, such as you know, reading a
book.
mircea_popescu: i dun feel like paying amazon 30 bux because who the fuck are they, not like they helped me know i hafta read this, and not like there can exist another merit ; i dun feel like waiting till they deliver. i did see the
book at one point, in library, of course, which is how i know it exists, but i'm not going back there to read a
book.
mircea_popescu: doesn't really have much to do with either prison, or my
book.
mircea_popescu: afaik they get a
book a week or some shit, i dunno, haven't followed.
ben_vulpes: some day i will reclaim my
book-storage-below-one-meter space
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i ordered a kubinetes
book but got instead an ikea box.
mircea_popescu: "The explicit goal of the service mesh is to move service communication out of the realm of the invisible, implied infrastructure, and into the role of a first-class member of the ecosystem—where it can be monitored, managed and controlled." << alternatively, you could read a fucking
book. motherfucking chukas.
phf: asciilifeform: thanks for the ada updates, i was reading knuth's
book 3 on arbitrary precision multiplication, so you're 20 steps ahead of me
BingoBoingo: Sweet corn and summer squash are other good candidates to consider, Lords are advised to consult their county fair's premium
book to guide crop selection.
mircea_popescu: "i read a
book i like twice, but books i don't like i don't read at all!11"
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: gotta skim through their
book. It's basically ad copy for ISIS. Incites feeling that the proper sane foreign policy to handle the middle east is wall building and enticing a greater idiot to occasionally hurl missiles over there when the mohammadeans get aggressive beyond their station.
BingoBoingo: Back to this Koran bsns... It sure talks about jihad a lot... Have any of these SJW's (i.e. moldylocks the haircunt) actually read the other SJW's (Scary Jihad Warrior's)
book?
mircea_popescu: there should be a
book written about these "earworms" let's call it, little bits of memetic stupid that work on the innocent strictly, and reconfigure what'd have been a natural construction into stupidity.
mircea_popescu: lol this shit. "The
book especially defames trans women who are attracted to men, calling them "homosexual transsexuals" as if they were men themselves." ... which... they aren't, because... reasons ?
ben_vulpes: bad bad agitprop masquerading as a children's
book mircea_popescu: she's like something from a coloring
book for mongoloid kids.
mircea_popescu: incientally by now "Wrongly inclined
book" is ~= "imbecility in writing". there was a time when english style spines were promising. today, it's guaranteed to be some nonsense a la blue apron / fingerpaint cezanne
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER, and this is the kicker : 4.4. a
book of "painting masters -- paint cezanne by the numbers" WAS included.
mircea_popescu: 3. after this bizarre situation, walking downtown with same girl, we went past library, where i pointed out
book by roland barthes, and said "buy it and gift it her".
mod6: asciilifeform: got that
book from pong chu
mircea_popescu: if you're wondering, mp doesn't use the reference because the introduction de novo is a paragraph, the discussion of differentiation is a
book.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so it doesn't fail it in your
book. what of it. i brought a whore to my grandma's dinner once, it didn't disqualify her in my
book. that's what books are for.
ben_vulpes: the bids and asks are all right there in the order
book mircea_popescu: it was 100% datura. enough there for a medium sized
book club.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 22:22 mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it. the time for unsolicited manuscripts was sometime in between the summer of 90something and the autumn of the same 90something. nobody can tell you precisely when, but in any case "i made a
book" is precisely the same as "i made a used condom"
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 22:14 phf: i suspect saifedean is pitching various audiences to create a buzz for his upcoming
book, because the way he opened seemed like a cold call. "normies" "bezzle this bezzle that" every phrase felt like it was lifted from a "wake up sheeple" video with that matrix soundtrack
mircea_popescu: "selling" 1k copies of a
book is a) a fine way to spend a thousand hours of your time to earn about a hundred dollars and b) sufficient of an achievement to make you a "best selling author" and allow you to "lord it over" the utter fucktards populating that particular hobbist space.

diana_coman: in other unrelated or possibly related happenings, my 4 year old got a
book about the iss (int'l space station); he got quite obsessed with it for a week so now he knows it inside out; this morning he came with a construction made out of lego pieces and informs me: THIS is IIISSSIII!
saifedean: well, not to blow my
book's horn, but this isn't some waiter's novel written out between shifts. I've put a ton of good work into it
saifedean: I'm writing a
book explaining the concept of sound money to normies and how bitcoin will restore it
phf: ah, i only have 2nd edition (1996). i agree though they went downhill from there. i don't think even armstrong's next
book is particularly good
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 13:27 asciilifeform: ada in particular is 'a harsh mistress', you can sit for 3 hrs and your thing simply won't build, gcc won't eat it, and you gotta actually open the
book and grasp the reason why, brute force knob-twiddling will get you 0 result.

shinohai would like to thank Forrest Mims for printing decent
book I could understand at 8 and building lifelong obsession
