☟︎ BingoBoingo: jabbadabba: Who is your daddy and what does he do?
rg: i want to ask mircea if he knows any skilled c++ coers that nened work
BingoBoingo: Seems to be having some irl time. Perhaps if you leave gifts of tits and ass he will appear?
rg: well the offer stands for anyone else..
rg: if you are or know a c++ coder
rg: looking for a few months work, lot more if you work out
☟︎ shinohai: See the log first, I left an offering earlier but jurov informed me it was unacceptable
rg: I can leave tits and ass...
rg: unfortunately it will be mine
rg: ben: open to discussion, tbh
rg: but its a proper full time job
rg: aslong as it get worked
jhvh1: ben_vulpes: The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: that's what 'boldmug' calls the 'hilarious lie that there is a nice left and a nasty left'
rg: knowledge of crypto currency/coins preferable
ben_vulpes: trinque: consider reputation returns link to wot entry?
shinohai smiles seeing oglafbot in the logs again .....
trinque: ben_vulpes: was somebody using the sexp? I can't remember now.
trinque: but yeah, I can see that being more useful

phf: i don't grok job offers that specify language, but not task. "my employer is looking for a couple of pistoleros"
☟︎ ben_vulpes: trinque: i don't think that anyone's using the sexp
ben_vulpes: phf, asciilifeform: pretty standard recruiting tactic, appeal to identity. "i am a python/rails dev".
phf: traditionally cloak and dagger indicates incompetence. even alphabet gives you ~some~ details, before you commit to "full time contribution"
ben_vulpes: i cannot fathom what is going on in the mind of somoene who is a <lang>"dev"
ben_vulpes: i've never seen eg shop staff who were so narrow minded as some software folks.
ben_vulpes: even 'operator' is short for 'respected gentleman who understands how to work all of the machines in our shop, produce all of our parts, be trusted with plans and some degree of autonomy in problem-solving on the fly"
☟︎ phf: "i like things they way they are"
mircea_popescu: but yes, good thing mp doesn't have derpy kids for "partners" in actual business, or else he'd be stuck against the wall over you know, overbuying not needed ips and other gestures of rank and explosive megalomania endangering the welfare of the shareholders.
mircea_popescu: sorry about that, was going to say something but then with this bullshit.
shinohai: No big deal, I was just afraid I accidentally put in wrong addy.
mircea_popescu just used Framedragger 's logger on other machine to get the link ben_vulpes sent him to his own log via shinohai 's bot.
shinohai: Building Republican dns one piece at a time.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha check out danielpbarron lisping on the lispslut!
shinohai: I second that, when I finally get jurov's scheme to work on my client it may prove useful.
mircea_popescu: shinohai since the bot repls, you don't depend on running it locally.
mircea_popescu: kinda a half-step against the idiocy of iron today, build remote services. of course this also has the drawback that it may encourage a very retarded view where every lord vies for pushing his own walled garden above the others, but i'm hoping thinking people can innoculate themselves against that idiocy for long enough
a111: Logged on 2017-02-04 08:06 phf: so i was inspired by tmsr in 2014 to send out my gpg pubkey to a bunch of services that i use. most places simply ignored it, but today it paid off with the epic uptime machine. all i had to do was to point at an old email, pubkey in /root/ and send a signed request for a ssh pubkey replacement to recover a machine in barely amount of time it took to send three emails
mircea_popescu: and check out phf becoming a study in republican performance. "participation forces you to think about things completely, which results in either a decision you're not ready yet or else a sane implementation, both of which are perfect responses in and of themselves."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i lolled at the "death cult", but i lolled more at the observation that the ~only article of interest to the "our community" anon commenter is... something about obscure shitcoins. that... that touches close to home.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-04 16:15 asciilifeform: if you have a mouse surface -- why would you
mircea_popescu: but no, the turk has less swing to his swing. that travolta dood IS BENT
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Thank you. I figured "our community" needed some venom. It's been a while.
shinohai: I'd certainly drink champagne out of them.
mircea_popescu: that's more for the toe cut thing (which at the time was new, and people discovered toe is fabulous!)

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently, was found in the wild
mircea_popescu: i think by now the rootless youth (tm), well advanced post-irony as well as well disenfranchised by "putin's electoral college" don't necessarily mean anything in any particular direction.
mircea_popescu: sorta like a major victory for advertisments as cultural products.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude these idiots, sitting on a mailing list discussing what "naming should be seen to stand for" ? wtf, are they going to fork the dictionary ?
BingoBoingo: Wouldn't be the first time that got forked

mircea_popescu: either that or legacy hairball maintenance. but since this isn't some telco "hiring"...

mircea_popescu is thankful for people summoning the curiosity where his fails ; plox take pity on old man bring tidbits.
mircea_popescu: yeah they keep getting top 50 ratings by some shanghai thingee.
pete_dushenski: mostly because direct flights from van back to mainland. try that from your swiss polytechnic.
pete_dushenski: !~later tell danielpbarron: very spiffy use of candi_lustt! impressive stuff.
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: The operation succeeded.
pete_dushenski: my own recent efforts at coding are going less productively. trying to implement polarbeard's 'getpeerinfo' patch and can't even get trb to show the option on the help menu nevermind implement the functionality
pete_dushenski: though i did have the pleasure of using vdiff for the first time. very neat tool, that. 10/10 would use again.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski mentally you should budget about a year in between the first "hey ima program something" and shit you do finally starting to make sense to others.
pete_dushenski: budgeted. i'm in no rush. it's a satisfying and edifying exercise in its own right. c is new waters.
mircea_popescu: for instance here, wtf do you mean "to show the option"
pete_dushenski: anyways, still early days on the yearlong road. don't mind my flailing.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i have nfi what code you're working with, but all of those commands have an 'if fhelp' check that renders the help text instead of doing whatever the command asks for
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes why does bvulpes.com call cdjns.cloudflare.com ?
mircea_popescu: and in the latest news, i just discovered i can't fit even my pinky finger inside girl's nostril. WHY DO THEY MAKE THEM SO TINY!!11!!1
mircea_popescu: and relatedly, imagine the small misfortune of being born with fingers and nostril mismatch.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what do you mean "call"?
mircea_popescu: i mean that i noticed connection to cloudflare while loading your site
ben_vulpes: if i could back slowly away from the entire internet in horror i would
ben_vulpes: can you paste a traceroute or some such demonstrating?
mircea_popescu: mkay. but more generally - we specifically don't want shitflarew for the logotrons. that's why we have multiple.
ben_vulpes: nono there is no reason you should be seeing cloudflare in between you and bvulpes.com
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im behind on reports and such, but if you can't replicate it ima add it to the list then
ben_vulpes: there is an a record that points at the ip for that box
ben_vulpes: i was working to minimize dns dependency there.
mircea_popescu: 1970s chick with hair on perm things, whining from the bathroom "honey, is it great again yet ?"
mircea_popescu: old dr levy shows up with his black suitcase, sorts out the woman's nerves, the baby's colic and the master of the house's tooth ?
phf: right, i think i used to think that grownups had everything that they need to perform whatever function inside their briefcases
mircea_popescu: this is kind-of how genre fiction works, all those transformers and whatnot.
phf: apparently briefcase computer mods are a thing. wouldn't be practical for travel though without some form of ups though
mircea_popescu: i have seen the set-up, it's basically a truck with generator mod for engine + spare generator in bed + satellite dish.
mircea_popescu: runs you to the tune of quarter mil or somesuch. at least used to.
phf: meanwhile, using my laptop is like playing battleship. where would the cursor jump&click next? i will have to make a trip to the city tomorrow
ben_vulpes: heh, that'd be the paralytic's truck from /snow crash/
ben_vulpes: featuring a radar and iirc a teeny helicopter for neutralizing firearm threats
a111: Logged on 2017-02-05 14:18 mircea_popescu: dude check it out, new ip, 200ms lag. SAME FUCKING DC.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-05 17:07 ben_vulpes: nono there is no reason you should be seeing cloudflare in between you and bvulpes.com
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 200ms doesn't bother me (and it's mostly freenode being its usual bs, otherwise the tracepath to their peer reports 7-8ms etc)
mircea_popescu: point being, there's lag and then there's "lag" and i have nfi what sort of mactard / cloudhead / rubyonkubinetes "developer" one'd have to be to not know the difference.
mircea_popescu: kids about the same mental age but aged more appropriately in orclands do things like calling up the girl they daren't ask out then hanging up.
