phf: ben_vulpes: http://www.winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html << i am surprised that this has not yet been linked here << it's a whole genre, with roots in usenet days. "~i~ of course grok lisp, but the masses won't, so i use perl, which is as good, so ya'll should stop whatever you're doing". has the standard reaction of "where the fuck are you idiots coming from". naggum gained his notoriety mostly by arguing with these people,
phf: unsuccessfully
mircea_popescu: more importantly - arguing with these people FROM A POSITION OF EQUALITY.
mircea_popescu: it'd necessarily be and remain unsuccessful, for as long as naggum thinks socialism works, the idiots keep spawning. they come... from him.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's say he... hadn't. what then ?
mircea_popescu: you can't posit a negative.
asciilifeform: why the fuck not ?
mircea_popescu: because you have to posit something that can be. negatives can't be - that's what they are, non-being.
mircea_popescu: if you prefer - you can't meta-posit. plox posit like common folk, dismoun.
asciilifeform: fine, let's say he had argued from a position of man-cockroach superiority
mircea_popescu: dismount*
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so he has a) other men ; b) some good reason he's entertaining cockroaches ?

mircea_popescu: understand that it is never upon the cockroach to explain why man doesn't have house. that's what the duality is all about.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, eventually he woke up to the futility of entertaining cockroaches.
asciilifeform: naggum died in '09, his last usened post - circa '04.
mircea_popescu: this is not for a second what's spoken of here.
asciilifeform: *usenet
mircea_popescu: so bum in train station woke up to futility of entertaining cockroaches ? and what, moved on to rats ?
asciilifeform: moved on to ????.
mircea_popescu: how about get a fucking job, buy a house...
mircea_popescu: bum that died in ditch, whether he was or was not playing with cockrtoaches in the few minutes prior, still was and died a bum.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that herr n. had money, which was then taken by the crown, the story is in the logz.
mircea_popescu: perhaps.
mircea_popescu: point remains - no house, how are you man ?
mircea_popescu: boy, perhaps ?
mircea_popescu: one day to be man ?
asciilifeform: for this question, not to me, but straight to primo levi's 'if this is a man'.
phf: i think on top of his fine personal qualities, naggum had an unhealthy obsession, because the system was new and there was no hygiene
asciilifeform: (concerning auschwitz.)
mircea_popescu: phf i do not say this necessarily to bellitle the man in question. but the matter must be said i nthe plainest terms for posteriority.
mircea_popescu: aristotle also did not have condoms, to his detriment, but readily excused.
asciilifeform: i still want to know what mircea_popescu sees naggum as ought to have done.
mircea_popescu: made b-a.
asciilifeform: out of what ?
mircea_popescu: bitch, what is this!
mircea_popescu: "make a house" "out of what" "fuck you."
asciilifeform: srsly bitcoin did not exist.
mircea_popescu: so ?
asciilifeform: l. davinci had a better chance of building a radio set.
mircea_popescu: so ?
asciilifeform: than naggum - b-a.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck do you think this is, school ?
mircea_popescu: "but teacher, this shouldn't be on the exam, we didn't have it in class!"
mircea_popescu: everything is on the exam. including stuff from the future. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: better get good at reading the future.
asciilifeform: one day, martian ship lands on mircea_popescu's roof. with difficulty, commander directs him to build a new bzorktl to replace the burned out one.
asciilifeform: but yes, condom is on aristotle's exam.
phf: b-a restructured my thinking about how to talk to people, "oh hey ~you~ engaged ~me~, and i'm no longer entertained". to some extent naggum taught a lot of lispers on how to deal with trolls. i saw edi weitz engaged on this subject by random derps at conferences, he nods, politely, once or twice, then walks away. and not just him. but naggum example is very specific to troll engagement, so..
mircea_popescu: phf not a matter of trolls, mind.
asciilifeform: phf: it is an astonishingly valuable tool.
mircea_popescu: trolls are quite respectable fellows
mircea_popescu: idiots are not.
phf: right right
mircea_popescu: and i'm not for a second proposing i'm better or anything. i have the purely accidental benefit of having spent a lot of my youthful years in this position where people did not fucking dare even open the trap. whereas most smart kids of the sort society tends to castrate for fattening live quite otherwise.
mircea_popescu: but all this is besides the point : there's a right way and wrong ways and there's all there is to it.
mircea_popescu: (but yes, capon is the word. the moment you see a kid with a "college education" "despising" violence, you know precisely the fuck's going on. as per alf's discussion of those exploited monkeys, exactly. oxen gathering together to talk out of line about the bull's specific smell.)
asciilifeform: if the only kind of violence you can picture is of the farmer, against your own neck - then yes, pig despises.
asciilifeform: why shouldn't he.
mircea_popescu: this... separation, shall we call it, between intelligent man (ie, he who could put the balls to use) and "orc", ie, man with all the parts still attached is INTEGRAL for ...
mircea_popescu: not for civilisation, mind. for this ugly rat of a creature that is really copyrasty and pretense, part of which pretense is to call self civilisation
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, one of the least civilised things ever contemplated.
asciilifeform: quite arguably rome had it.
mircea_popescu: an empire must have it.
asciilifeform: aha.
mircea_popescu: rome the worth the mention rome, did not.
mircea_popescu: it instead had the quite plain understanding that civilisation is what happens at the other end of the mentula.

assbot: Housing Policies Still Pin Poor in Baltimore, but Some Escape to Suburbs | American Renaissance ... ( http://bit.ly/1R8g76b )
asciilifeform: 'There are two main components to Baltimore’s “mobility” campaign, which aims to relocate public housing residents to better neighborhoods. Nearly 3,100 participating families, headed almost entirely by single black mothers, have relocated with special subsidies that are designed for high suburban rents; about 1,300 other families will join them over the next three years. Nearly 50 families, including Hill’s, have move

mircea_popescu: da fuck is that insane bs.
BingoBoingo: Orcification of viable appearing communities
BingoBoingo: Spread the Poverty!!!
mircea_popescu: idjits expect to spend tax receipts on giving free money to poor people ~enough so they can rent where rich people live~ ?!

asciilifeform: 'mr engineer? we heard that you're not paying your whole salary for rent yet ? here, have some diverse neighbours'
asciilifeform: and doubtless mircea_popescu knows that they aren't spending tax receipts, but printolade.
mircea_popescu: at which point mr engineer beats the shit out of the various derps thinking they're cool and rappers and whatnot, repossesses the black woman and reconstructs his grandfather's mansion
mircea_popescu: in the happy song of yes massah all day long.
phf: what is this, b-a take on tarantino plots
asciilifeform: the 2nd half is perhaps take on 'rambo'

mircea_popescu: same government FOR THE SAME REASONS and in the same ways gives all these niggers the house.

asciilifeform: lulzily, i recently tried 'trisquel linux' distro on a thinkpad x60, as mentioned, e.g., here, https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_boot_installer.html - it croaks on boot during acpi init.
assbot: How to install GNU/Linux on a libreboot system ... ( http://bit.ly/1n2nDaj )
asciilifeform: 'but hey it worked for rms'
asciilifeform: somehow.
phf: "Trisquel [...] derived from another distribution, Ubuntu." ?
asciilifeform: phf: it was pitched as somehow decrufted
asciilifeform: (by the 'libreboot' folks)
phf: ah
phf: did we do the whole debian as gentoo thing conversation?
asciilifeform: not iirc ?
danielpbarron is currently dealing with a debian problem: stuck on "Reading package lists... 0%" and don't want to reboot as per top search result for this string of text
trinque: I've seen all manner of apt-fucked
ben_vulpes: apt-get-fucked
asciilifeform: every time i come near the temptation to try to produce a 'tmsr linux' affair, i get my face rubbed into the fact that there is no hardware.
phf: i'll have to lookup relevant materials, since it's not in logs, but there are some threads on debian (or maybe duvian or whatever it's called) mail, that explain how to setup a semi automated build of deb packages, and there's some equivalent of useflags that let you control the deb build. so can rebuild entire stack into own package repository, have a decrufted b-a apt source, that's not necessarily audited, but at the very least
phf: doesn't have freedesktop/systemd/...
asciilifeform: that is, there is nothing whatsoever that i can rely on other people having, hardware-wise, that can be guaranteed to work
trinque: phf: deedbot sits atop devuan, hasn't offended me just yet
asciilifeform: even supposedly well-documented and 'linuxbiosable' items like the x60 apparently come in undocumented variations that barf
asciilifeform: and i had to hunt for ~3 months to get a working example of the x60, also
trinque: yeap, my attempt at providing a gentoo recipe was instructive.
asciilifeform: (they are few, and getting fewer, unsurprisingly)
trinque: "But this works for me every single time!!"
asciilifeform: trinque: we still have nfi what happened to the gentoo mircea_popescu tried
asciilifeform: trinque: the conversation here is not about headless servers
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> >> This comes Trump's << comes as* ? << ty fxd
phf: i think there are basically 3 parts to custom stack: sane linux, stock tree, pkg system
asciilifeform: but general-purpose dev machine
asciilifeform: phf: the kernel as we all presently have it is the very opposite of sane.
asciilifeform: I DON'T WANT 10,000,001 DEVICE DRIVERS.
asciilifeform: i want ONE PER DEVICE
phf: yeah..
asciilifeform: and a standard, immutable, guaranteed set of devices, which do not try anything 'clever' and cannot communicate with one another except in ways defined by os.
phf: terry davis dat shit. "no framebuffer, no vesa, VGA!"
phf: :>
asciilifeform: i don't even go in for hair shirts
asciilifeform: and there is really nothing complicated about the idea of a framebuffer.
phf: a useful framebuffer is backed by the card specific driver
asciilifeform: no shit
trinque: asciilifeform: yep that recipe I have is just fine for a dev box
asciilifeform: trinque: and when mircea_popescu tells you that it won't see his cdrom drive ?
trinque: it's what I used for my own dev environment, still have that partition around
trinque: asciilifeform: baffled, as it used a genkernel with all modules by default
trinque: I tend to boot with that, then produce a custom kernel config with localyesconfig once booted
trinque: and strip out module loading
asciilifeform: trinque: ever find it interesting that the kernel has no mechanism for telling you what code ~is actually used~ ?
asciilifeform: even though it would be absolutely trivial.
mircea_popescu: yeah.
mircea_popescu: compiulere does as much ffs
asciilifeform: actually gcc is pretty terrible at deadcode snip
phf: beos had that systematized, was really handy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ftr, about 1/2 of a stripped trb binary is openssl crud that is never called.
asciilifeform: (by weight)
mircea_popescu: yup

asciilifeform: nah somebody accidentally tripped over a cosmic ray in the bath
trinque: to your point about "why is there no pruning tool for this thing"
asciilifeform: my point was that there is no actual practical reason why a kernel ought to contain so much as one instruction pertaining to devices that i don't have and will never have on my box.
trinque: indeed.
asciilifeform: it is not difficult to do runtime coverage. every routine starts by setting a flag. ones who never set their flag, get listed as dead code.
