mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe we can push a year 0 on the misfortunate kind hearts trying to follow this evolvospec.
mircea_popescu: evolvospec, for the record, is not a spec, exactly in the manner a bad girl may be great fun to be with but notrly a wife.
mircea_popescu: gets point of reference baked in into tags ; gives me an incentive to even tagmark in the first place.
mircea_popescu: logotron can parse them into sense, at a further cost.
mircea_popescu: how is this cleanner ? same thing, but instead of : you used space.
mircea_popescu: it never has to be done again whether done by ":" or by " " lol
mircea_popescu: reason i prefer the `tag:url format to the `tag url format is that space is too syntactically meaningful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how logotrons use this raw info is left to operator tbh.
mircea_popescu: experience convinces me that anchor-first is correct way and the url-first html spec a kludge./
mircea_popescu: because if i don't have the liberty to overload an url i can find no incentive to ever tickmark.
mircea_popescu: and if it gets cut, the logparser sure as fuck has no way to fix it now.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, wikipedia : "Erik Naggum (June 13, 1965 – June 17, 2009) was a Norwegian computer programmer recognized for his work in the fields of SGML, Emacs and Lisp. Since the early 1990s he was also a provocative participant on various Usenet discussion groups.[1]" << accidental hit of the consensus process, because "provocative" seemed both sufficiently insulting to the idiots and actually flattering to the fanbois.

mircea_popescu: eventually they stop somewhere for the night, and in the wee hours of the morning monk goes and shakes the other awake. "brother... that woman... how could you fuck her ?"
mircea_popescu: "brother... i left her at the bridge. why are you still carrying her ?"
mircea_popescu: "One has to marvel at the wide acceptance of our existing punctuation marks and the sociology of their acceptance." << hm. naggum doesn't actually have the ability to understand things he didn't set himself deliberately to work at understanding, does he ?

mircea_popescu: dude didn't do the "proper" ustard gymnastics or what was it ?
BingoBoingo: Oh, the sportsball players didn't stand for the song of country before game in protest of "Police r mean to us black folk" as they had been for the last couple weeks. Mike Pence went to game and left before it started.
mircea_popescu: world went to shit, i started leaving more often than staying through sometime in i dunno, 2006 ?
BingoBoingo: But this isn't Pence pretending to know to ape after you leaving. This is Pence being the ape following ordinary sportball watching Trump voters leaving.
mircea_popescu suspects the "sports" entertainment franchises won't weather the anti-pantsuit strom any better than dnc did.
BingoBoingo: The bulk of their fanbase is anti pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: iirc, they've all been struggling for economic relevancy in the past decade, if this even vaguely proves itself as a mass movement the whole shitshow's canned overnight.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even cares about "sports" anymore, and why would they.
BingoBoingo: This sportball was the financially healthiest reaping all the ad money, but... On the strength of marketing to Texas and the south.
BingoBoingo: The pantsuit states aleady tuned out of sportsball because "concussions" and "mean"
mircea_popescu: in which case, i suspect federation rules requiring all black players wear a yellow star and apologize for being there before every game have even odds next year.
BingoBoingo: Lol, in this sportsball most of the players ARE black
mircea_popescu: much much more vulnerable to trump than the liberal "endowments" ie hedge funds masquerading as universities.
BingoBoingo: AHA, and it doesn't help that sportball season overlaps the calendar with sportspuck season.

mircea_popescu: earlier today i heard from soem guy complaining about "how his job sucks", because he got moved to a new projkect for 3rd time past month, and it's such a waste because now he has to reload whatever.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and i was thinking "they moved YOU. why are you thinking in terms of the company/job/whatever ?"
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "i suck so much, they keep bumping me to various projects"

mircea_popescu: spyked trilema stands far outside the following abilities of any single man! but yes, we eknow each other for years nao.
mircea_popescu: ftr : the "bus depot jokes" are not an equivalent here. they are crass, which is to say employ a certain drastic sort of romanian. but otherwise "balada pizdei" was written by topirceanu, "povestea pulii" by creanga, these are all "intellectuals" ie of the literary canon.
spyked: yeh, this was re. scabs
mircea_popescu: romania never actually had a guild in the sense seen now in the us ; not even during the ceausescu times.

mircea_popescu: orlando, florida co. and exactly biofilm not dc, as a separate concern.
mircea_popescu: but for the record, the notion of "a full rack" WITHOUT a c block is laughable.
mircea_popescu: also there's no "global warming" happening in orcistan, and also pedophiles didn't suddely become interested in highschoolers.

mircea_popescu: quite on point, let me tell you about this "threading" model minigame is currently battling with.
mircea_popescu: so, idiots made "threads" because hey, they read on expert-sex-change that threads are better. the server thereby has a networking thread, an event manager thread, and a db thread.
mircea_popescu: a) none of these are respawned if killed ; b) all of these die within the second if any dies ; c) none of these are capable to multispawn under load.
mircea_popescu: so basically they made a thread to "replace" the work the os does with the tcp stack, for instance.
mircea_popescu: which is ~safe, because the os doesn't need help anyway.
mircea_popescu: i am vaguely amazed they don't have a "special" thread to handle what x does anyway, ie kbd buffering./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i just can't grasp wtf is going on in the rakim skulls.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not merely graphics lib. does ~everything except the actual game mechanics.
mircea_popescu: but yes, it's roughly the equivalent of "oh, you want to have your monitor display your wedding pics correctly ? guess who's rewriting linux."
mircea_popescu: yes, but rather than have an a-b-c threaded thing where if b dies a immediately follows, you might as well have a cleanner and neater abc.

mircea_popescu: kinda why i took the trouble. it is exactly the picture afaik.
mircea_popescu: so no -- the "bazaar" does NOT fucking work. not in the slightest bit, not at all whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: and in fact the term is deeply descriptive. the result of the approach is very strictly an open defecation field with some colorful plastic affixed to randomly distributed, rotting wood poles.
mircea_popescu: and the fact that conclaves of idiots and imbeciles, however you label them, wired and wikipedia and etcetera won't gush about how "mp is famous about writing the definitive work on "bazaar" style development" is simply an argument here, and no further consideration.
mircea_popescu: i remember very clearly who i am, and for very good reasons can't recall that schmuck whatever his name was.

mircea_popescu: phuctor got seized and so what ? nobody messaged me to ask if i'm a doctor.

mircea_popescu: projection is a function of EXTANT items and ONLY extant items. projections based on projections are called global warming science.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. there's no ~= in this arithmetic. if rsatron has been in production for a while and functioning correctly we can revisit these.
trinque: simultaneously signaling "this is a prototype, will sever your limbs and fuck your wife" and "pls to use" aren't you?
trinque: there was a whole thing about pastebin snippets being fine because not ready for vpatch
mircea_popescu: quantifying "a single aspect" of "how stewardess would look in airplane i've not yet bought" is no better than quantifying any other / all of them.
mircea_popescu: because it's not had a significant history in production yet, which is what "item exists" means for the needs of future projection.
mircea_popescu: in fact, as trinque aptly points out, it's not even v'd yet, let alone reviewed yet, and so following.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that it's used by at least someone somewhere for a while. like eg, lobbes auction bot is in production.
mircea_popescu: trinque 's payment thing will have been in production soonish.
mircea_popescu: can not calculate anything on the basis of inexistent items.
mircea_popescu: and the people with the global warming see as quite fantastic all sorts of other theoretical contradictions of their theoretical models.
mircea_popescu: the problem with theoretical models based on projecting projections is that they're not even wrong.
