BingoBoingo: Is that the 90's band TLC?
BingoBoingo is curious if anyone here casts iron themselves, may be interested in a two hundred thousand quart pot.

asciilifeform doesn't know of any other tlc

JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo she was mentioned to me, im always curious about new girls in btc
JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo because im sexist
asciilifeform: nobody seems to ask 'who're the new girls in high-temperature metallurgy'

JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo oh are we having a serious convo?

BingoBoingo: JuliaTourianski_: Of course, this is mega professional chan. You took danielpbarron's trollbait and made an earnest effort.
JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo hehe
JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo to be fair, very young cute girls are more rarely seen in btc than dudes. so it naturally peaks my curiosity
BingoBoingo: JuliaTourianski_: danielpbarron is a rare bird here in that he is an orthodoxy attracted thinker that can stick around.
BingoBoingo: JuliaTourianski_: Of course. It is a practical reason to have focus.
JuliaTourianski_: +BingoBoingo focus is going too far
BingoBoingo: I'm just amazed that TLC's writing sections... has images of fountain pens.
BingoBoingo: JuliaTourianski_: Nah, focus happens in degrees, otherwise eyes wouldn't be tenable

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bulky.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, turning into a concern at the moment
BingoBoingo: Even fucking 68k macs are starting to seem bulky as I plan for contingencies.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: unlike pa-risc, you can get 68k portables.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: WHY DO YOUR FUCKING BRAVES HAVE TO CHOKE SO LATE IN THE SEASON!!!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, but considering two legs of contingency trip involve feet instead of tires...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have a 'powerbook duo' somewhere.
BingoBoingo: I might settle for atom netbook of particular vintage as a candidate for burining.
BingoBoingo: Makes centuries ROM disk seem like a trivial task by comparison though.
BingoBoingo: On a related note, wasn't the Palm V a nifty piece of harware?
asciilifeform: was, yes.
BingoBoingo: Shame about being the harbringer of iPod solder you own batteries
asciilifeform: said who? there was a plug inside.
asciilifeform: (even in apple's machines, afaik)
BingoBoingo: Well... people who bought a bunch for $7
BingoBoingo: Sure, replacement of batteries is possible without soldering and heating batteries, but... I worry about the social engineering threat where nifty microcomputer gets defamed as a bomb by homo retardus

asciilifeform: plenty of damning things can be said about apple products that are... actually true.
asciilifeform: 'soldered batteries' isn't one.
decimation: I use asus atom netbok for portability; cheap & reliable
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently 'soldered batteries' were a favorite of HP to force you to send back your expensive test gear for service.

TheNewDeal: what os you rocking decimation?
decimation: arch linux
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It wasn't consistently one
asciilifeform: aha there it is!
asciilifeform: soldered battery.
TheNewDeal: does that feature a dependency hell?
decimation: I would consider migrating to openbsd, but I'm not sure it would have a friendly user interface
asciilifeform: well, not really soldered battery though.
asciilifeform: just cable.
asciilifeform: as pictured, even a kid can safely swap this one.
decimation: they have a variant of 'ports', they seem to actively manage dependencies pretty well
decimation: I would recommend arch linux for learning more about linux
TheNewDeal: oooh
decimation: although they jumped on the systemd bandwagon
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well in those scenarios my favored fix is scotch tape+conductor.
JuliaTourianski: +BingoBoingo hhaha just someone said to me she's "penetrating the btc scene" so I figured I should probably know of her if that's the case
TheNewDeal: is that at all similar to android init.d?
decimation: heh. it's a replacement actually, and not everyone is a fan
BingoBoingo: decimation> I would consider migrating to openbsd, but I'm not sure it would have a friendly user interface << Can be done, just worry about drivers first.
decimation: replacing init scripts that have been inherited from the early unix days with aimless binaries
TheNewDeal: my knowledge of daemons stops as Warcraft 1
asciilifeform: jumped on the systemd bandwagon << and you're using this on your own free will ?
decimation: the most annoying part to me is getting rid of a text syslog
BingoBoingo: <decimation> although they jumped on the systemd bandwagon << Alpine Linux still defaults to clean
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah too lazy to switch off
decimation: asciilifeform: did you see this site: http://boycottsystemd.org/
assbot: boycott systemd
asciilifeform: sure.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Solution might be to be lazier to avoid the systemd update???
asciilifeform: coming next: boycottshitpizza.org
asciilifeform: don't eat at coprophagic restaurants!
decimation: hehe yeah. when the update mechanism begs you to upgrade, the seduction is hard to avoid
asciilifeform: presence of such a mechanism is a very loud bell that you were gravely mistaken to go there at all.
decimation: "Contribute to and use distros like Slackware, CRUX, Funtoo, and Gentoo that follow traditional Unix paradigms."
asciilifeform: be glad for the bell.
asciilifeform: it tells you to: run.
BingoBoingo: decimation: What happens when you are stuck at OS 7.5.1
decimation: yeah, for instance apparently freenode was hacked
BingoBoingo: What happens when Chicago becomes Charcoal in OS 8?
decimation: the fact that our identification mechanism depends very little on freenode security shows a strong point
decimation: that's a bell too
decimation: BingoBoingo: people who upgrade macs are already very familiar with this hell
decimation: apple is famous for deprecating any feature that an advanced user would find useful
BingoBoingo: decimation: True Macs have only 1 upgrade, OS??? to A/UX
BingoBoingo: Because real macs don't run OS 8 or have PPC
decimation: actually I was sad when apple capitulated to wintel
BingoBoingo: A True Mac is just a Giant TI-89
BingoBoingo: decimation: True story Bought my first cumputer around 2000
decimation: my objection to macos 9 and earlier wasn't that it was a terrible user experience, it was mainly its inability to gracefully handle errors
BingoBoingo: was roughly $10
decimation: more often then not it would just lock & reboot randomly
BingoBoingo: OS 7 handles errors liek an angel
BingoBoingo: The surviving Mac Classic still boots.
decimation: perhaps the macs I had in high school were shit
decimation: I would agree that mac classic i suprisingly usable
BingoBoingo: On its original 40 MB hard drive
BingoBoingo: Only problem with the classic is the SE/30 already existed
decimation: In retrospect, apple should have gotten on the bsd/nextstep bandwagon around '90 or so
BingoBoingo: And kill BSD as it was about to be Free?
asciilifeform: decimation: apple as traditionally understood - does not exist now.
BingoBoingo: History's accidents are where it gets beautiful.
asciilifeform: decimation: 'next' burned it, salted the earth where it stood, and renamed self 'apple'.
decimation: yeah that's a good point, I guess the bsd lawsuit didn't end until '94
BingoBoingo: Yeah
decimation: asciilifeform: next stuff was actually pretty neat
BingoBoingo: There's a Theo interview with a lot of that history
asciilifeform: decimation: apple was also, occasionally, pretty neat.
BingoBoingo: Sun was neat too, if only they had kneepads and made a consumer machine
decimation: my perception is that sun died when 'wintel' was adopted by the baby boomers
decimation: some time in the late 90's even management started using windows
decimation: that, and the cpu vendors used by sun just didn't keep up with intel performance
BingoBoingo: Well Sun probably died when the started handing out Solaris install media to fuckers like me who bought their stock at $3.60
BingoBoingo: And the T-SHirts...

They appear to have very small horizongs and little knowledge of and little curiosity in the world. Don’t very smart people tend to have large horizons?. My guess is that the
mircea_popescu: Times is doing its usual rationalizations for the intellectual and other deficiencies of blacks.

mircea_popescu: but then, a commenter : "Daniel F. writes: I saw from Steve Sailer’s post on the same article that the low-income, high-aptitude cohort under discussion is 69 percent white and 15 percent Asian. So the large majority of the kids at issue are white."
mircea_popescu: so the response ? "Thanks for the correction. But I wonder if that information was in the Times article (which, again, I didn’t read the whole of and was only making a reasonable speculation on, based on past Timesean behavor), or only in the Sailer post."
