shinohai thinks that fixes it, and is sufficient snub to audacity of individual not in wot
phf: it's the simplest solution i found to typeset cyrillic with plain tex, but i can't get font mapping to work..
phf: tex is like a handful of carefully crafted tools with gb's of liquishit™ on top. "we have this elegant vpatch of a carefully crafted solution" "can i use it?" "lol nobody uses it, we have a modern option with unicode! and lua! and packages! comes as a GIT REPO!111"
phf: but he does use cyrillic! when he needs to obsessively write correct name for a mathematician in his AoCP references
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.)
phf: i wonder if that's a later update. i have a fairly recent print from early 2000s
phf: oh you know what it is, it's not inline, check the Index and Glossary
phf: for example, Euler, Leonhard should have cyrillic equivalent
phf: possibly needed space for "artificial intelligence programming with google apis"
phf: it's all about controlling the narrative
mircea_popescu: (don't pluck live ducks -- you're supposed to wring neck first, steep in boiling water 2nd, then pluck ; don't chase pig around with meat cleaver, you need dagger to cut its jugular first.)
hanbot: i'm pretty sure you're supposed to put things in water *before* you wring them, .ro clearly backwards
deedbot: IamAGirlsoInever voiced for 30 minutes.
IamAGirlsoInever: Do spam posts get defenstrated or will they appear in the logs?
IamAGirlsoInever: Weird, it killed the nick end apparently, was f*a*r*t of course.
IamAGirlsoInever: ant appears regularly even when they mine a block with one tranny.
IamAGirlsoInever: ok, spam then, don't know what will happen though, prolly get ignored as it should.
IamAGirlsoInever: I am always honestly dishonest. I really can't tell a lie very well, so I just tell the truth and use that to lie.
IamAGirlsoInever: If I had some coins I would probably use them to attempt to find either cracks or other bugs in reference implementations. I could always just use the testnet, or setup my own.
IamAGirlsoInever: I'm testing various implementations and social networks as well. Trilema is definetly interesting.
IamAGirlsoInever: test like science, double blind, use a premise, try to prove a point?
IamAGirlsoInever: Oh, a test from way back when, I implemented an XML reader and negelected to cap off recursion, so I tried a file full of <_> commands, just open a short tag.
IamAGirlsoInever: it of course blew my system away, but when I tested against everybody elses readers, their were bad too.
phf: and that's how i became a hacker!
phf: asciilifeform: it's all about community building

BingoBoingo: You mean "weather rockets" for moderate rebel "meteorology experiments"
BingoBoingo: In other surprises, while digging to create point for anchoring tin shed in situ a wild concrete pad was found under shed. For ~15 years of ownership, twas ASSumed that metal shed was simply plopped down onto the dirt.
BingoBoingo: What happens is they anchor it to the ground without any consideration for the local frost depth or drainage, and then seasons change
BingoBoingo: Idiot shelving suppoted in middle by hanging from roof?
BingoBoingo: “Neat little bike, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys to ride, evidenced by the grown men squealing like ten-year-old girls when they grab a fistful of throttle and try to twist it off. That’s something I do not recommend trying right away until you get a feel for it, ’cause the front end needs very little encouragement to come off the ground." << This thing is screaming for a sleeve hitch and moldboard plough
ben_vulpes: "free-for-all and sometimes toxic social sites like Reddit"
BingoBoingo: Nah, power comes from rear wheel, would have to completely reverse the drivetrain and make front wheel drive
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Then not a plough, but a trencher
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: That thing is too glossy, has to be vaporware
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: see asciilifeform's comment
ben_vulpes: when i could muster the shits to get down to "ev summit" or whateverthefuck they called it someone was noodling around on one
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes fwiw there's a "new, better, altenrative" for everything every week. kinda what the you know, "people ready with a gameplan if they suddenly got rich" spend their time with.
ben_vulpes: that's about as much thought as ive put into disposing of my spoils
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem with wine is that better wine and expensive wine do not well correlate. for the past 40 or so years europe sat on a lake of wine. you can have perfectly fine wines for the cost of the bottling, you can also spend as-much-as-you-want for idiot veblen americana.
ben_vulpes: not that anyone will ever believe me about the gorgeous product of the dundee hills
ben_vulpes: teh java has burnt my appreciation for wordplay to a stub
mircea_popescu: most puns dun work, most wisdom is folly, sometrhing something the holly./
ben_vulpes: fortunately this is only ever terpenorary
ben_vulpes: and the green grass grows all around all around and the green grass grows all around
BingoBoingo: The grass s always greener on BingoBoingo's side of the fence
mircea_popescu: i trust the pantsuit clown party is well butthurt over the serious threat to ourdemocracy presented by inept child behaviour meeting some sort of correction in practice.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I hope this emergent trend grows into next spring's congressional primaries. Candidates eating a misdemeanor rap in exchange for pajama boy beating cred.
mircea_popescu: i'd vote for a guy who beat up a redditard. how bad can he be ? he got the basics right.
BingoBoingo: I know, right? And not just a plain cannon fodder redditard, but a GUARDIAN REDDITARD!
BingoBoingo: Make things happen to Sam, win the hearts of the locals!
BingoBoingo: Sure the car may be French, but it's yours and the level 1337 GUARDIAN REDDITARD is going to know it
shinohai: !~later tell BingoBoingo So my consensus piece got removed from r/bitcoin, r/btc, and was DV'd into oblivion on r/buttcoin though it is still there.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.

mod6: asciilifeform: aha. i can tell you from my own recent adventures into learning ada that it is strict, and strong.
mod6: i set out to do something similar to what phf had been doing by writing some tests utilizing ffa. but then i couldn't figure out how to even make a package with function or procedure that used a generic type.
mod6: so then i took a step back. decided to do something like what the initial steps of my V do; list the contents of a directory, throw the filenames into a list using Doubly_Linked_Lists(Unbounded_String) and then attempt to pass them to another function that does further parsing.
mod6: So my progress was pretty solid. But I'm not all the way there yet.
mod6: Oh yeha, for sure, normally, i wouldn't do such a thing. but i'm just trying to grab the reins at this point. just get ~something~ to actually work.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i get this. but using heap is even more of 'adventure' in ada. << ahh, i see.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ^ put at the head of your main body, and see what ends up barfing << im gonna try this and see if that helps a bit more.
mod6: this all makes sense, and for this strictness I like it. im just not quite used to it all yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is this : you're an intelligent fellow that has interesting things to say, sometimes. some other times, however, you metamorphosize into dumbalf. i have no idea if it's the phases of the moon or what you ate that day or what, but the change is palpable.
mircea_popescu: as it happens, dumbalf wishes to spend all its time, and if possible everyone else's time, engaged in the following infantile game : it will spend about half a second to come up with some strong statement that's evidently false, entirely predicated on ignorance, pure nonsense. then he'll defend it tooth and nail, for hours if need be, exploring every nook and cranny of stupid shit that could be said to defend stupid shit. thi
mircea_popescu: s, of course, does nothing -- stupid shit is predictable and it's not going to catch smart people unprepared.
mircea_popescu: but then, once however many also intelligent, also with interesting things to say folks have wasted however many hours of their life showing dumbalf that indeed, dumb=dumb and stupid=stupid, dumbalf will just spend ANOTHER half second to come up with another bit of nonsense, vaguely related if related at all, and pivot to that.
mircea_popescu: but he pivots seamlessly, like duck in water, or if you prefer like textbook idiot : there's absolutely no sign whatsoever that all the time wasted on educating it left any kind of mark whatsoever -- a sad suspicion confirmed by the cyclical nature of the nonsense. so he'll proceed to defend the new half second half baked "idea" in the same manner.
mircea_popescu: while you were still doing new material, this was merely tedious and unpleasant ; but since you're doing re-runs these days it's simply insufferable. ima take you off ignore now, but plox to bear in mind that too much dumbalf in the mix actually makes talking to you -ev.
mod6: i figure, the more i work with it / use it, the easier it'll come.
mod6: mircea_popescu: was that a quote from somewhere, or your own text just in one large paste?
mircea_popescu: mod6 sometimes i wish to re-read what i'm about to say, so i write it in advance.
mod6: aha, yeah, i do the same sometimes too.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> took asciilifeform year+ to 'get used to' << yeah, im def. at least a year behind :/
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.
mod6: im gonna keep working on it. i figure after enough beatings, my morale will improve :]
mod6: yah, it's a process.
mod6: I read through ffa, and it 'makes sense' to me as far as what you're doing in most cases -- as I understand the intent of the expressions. but i stand in awe, especially after trying my own hand at Ada, at what you've produced.
mod6: I think what is simple, obvious, and kindergarden-esq to you, is, at least for me, still very impressive.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-26 17:52 mircea_popescu: shinohai is that good for altcoins ?
mod6: asciilifeform: haha, ok
BingoBoingo presently surprised with performance of "tapcon" masonry drill bit performance in 12v drill. Slow, but no slower than hammer drill. Tis possible the space between compact drill and full blown rotary hammer is without future
BingoBoingo: Certainly requires not much more pushing from operator.
BingoBoingo: Ah, but has gone from mind numbingly slow to, slow but on par with "feature checkbox"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other disadvantages of kissing all the random chicks / hanging out with "lesbians", i got the worst fucking cold ;/
