BingoBoingo: And this is how cutter numbers get long...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the problem with books in a library isn't even that terrifying, seeing how they usually pick a topic. trilema article picks like a dozen, ikt's all about the interlinks.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, the argument may be brought that dewey was a terrible cost upon human culture and ~the reason us never amounted to anything : the tendency to pick a topic is not unlike the tendency to pick a gender. "i can't think now, since i'm a girl" sorta bs.)
BingoBoingo: Right, but the insanity gets worse with the Library of congress system

mircea_popescu: or, possibly, the $100 tomahawk inventory burning resulting in ~0 roi of any kind. or or or.
mircea_popescu: deep principled inspection! does it say "non pantsuit shouldn't be in position of power" ? FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!11 does it say non pantsuit things ? UNFORTUNATE FREE SPEECH FUNDAMENTALISM!!!!

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-08#1766790 << xemacs was joint work by sun and lucid, it's hard to say who's the durps here, since it was a bunch of professionals with lisp machine background trying to plug particularly nasty holes in emacs architecture (back before there even was an architecture)
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-08 00:55 asciilifeform: buncha derps in 1990s ran off to mikehearn emacs, back in the day.
ben_vulpes: good to see that some things never change, like BingoBoingo's taste in news
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Just because there's far less of them here doesn't mean they have value
phf: my read on the situation is that it's a bunch of lisp machiners taking emacs and trying to turn it into a lisp machine, and rms having a ptsd reaction to it
mircea_popescu: the lulz are endless, "wolff is a well known hack of 0 credibility, but his current crop of nonsense confirms '''what we already know''' so tjhere is that". ah, such lulz.
mircea_popescu: phf the only contentious portion none of the cucks addressed AT ALL is that lucid also wanted to take over. which may or may not be the right move, but utterly can't be "the one thing we don't talk about".
mircea_popescu: the data model of period emacs painfully reminds one of original eulora.
mircea_popescu: discussion is what's under the hood not how the gui feels.
phf: that's because you don't look under the hood
phf: i don't know if you've spent any significant amount of time with it, but i literally got tricked into installing xemacs first (cause x means it's gui yes?? 97 me)
mircea_popescu: the gui focus of their endless flamewars was dumb and not particularily flattering, netiehr for the gabriel/jwz side nor for the rms+retarded eurobois side
phf: but i then used it for a years, and learned elisp with it, and they were clearly making changes to elisp to make it not suck
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that may be so, but, again, have you looked at the data model ?
mircea_popescu: this i judge as the right move, otherwise might've hanged self in despair years prior to republic.
mircea_popescu: anyway, 1990s period /me "emacs is fucked, use vi, at least it's shorter and doesn't do anything" very much related to all this.
phf: asciilifeform; first class characters like in common lisp for one, proper defstruct implementation, also they clarified significantly the buffer structure
mircea_popescu: presumably they do the good where one can at least read through and not want to hurt self ?
phf: "hey man i just drive this tank, i don't know what makes it work" ok then.
phf: mircea_popescu: to be fair both xemacs and emacs of that vintage are the height of readable elegance, compared to emacs of any later period
phf: so whatever lucid did on top of emacs code was probably an improvement
mircea_popescu: you say a) emacs of 1990s were height of elegance andf b) whatever lucid did was improvement
phf: actually i'm not sure i can, it's been a while since i've seen xemacs internals (i.e. >10 years). the point i was trying to make is that emacs ascii is talking about is a wholy different beats from the 1990s items, which were at the very least not cancerous
mircea_popescu: ah. i dunno, i guess not cancerous in the "but i got id saying im female" sense ; but very much had the clap.

phf: so emacs had some architecture, lucid took that architecture and tried making it more of a lisp machine (i.e. better foundation for writing elisp applications), then they tried pulling google.vs.linus and failed
mircea_popescu: eh nfi, lucid tried to make it a qt app. except qt didn't exist yet.
mircea_popescu: because "commercial" meant "clicker monkeys" and whatevers.
phf: i can buy that interpretation
mircea_popescu: and rms saw ~no value in supporting x, especially if that was going to break any more of the thoroughly broken bag of fractures they were tending as emacs 18
mircea_popescu: besideswhich, at the time it was entirely unclear x will survive.
phf: x was already supported in emacs by then
phf: nah, definitely not, now emacs has an ungodly amount of xemacsisms in it. variable sized reflowable inline objects, that are also x11 windows and such
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect the political divide is 100% xemacs will only accept merger INTO xemacs, which is to say, to get rid of rms, because he's useless / other camp can't get over "rms is useless".
phf: i wonder of customize- facilitiy was already there by 18
mircea_popescu: tbh and fwiw, if i ran the xemacs i would not permit rms anywhere near any sort of merged variant either.
phf: for the curious emacs 18.59 2039069b where's 22.3 is 48010347b (that's just c,h and el)
phf: and looking just at the kernel (and generously ignoring various xlibraries and shitplatforms for 22) 497576 and 1439148 respectively

https://lust.agency/ <<< "a goal to enable all human beings on earth to find their perfect sexual partner anonymously." What kind of sense does that even make?
mircea_popescu: "i would like money from the internetz on my own terms kthx"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1990s rms, either. man was possibly the worst middle management i ever saw.
mircea_popescu: and contrary to his grandiose aspirations (which came and went, so not uniform at least), he never was more than that, alcatel drone X on floor Y.
mircea_popescu: sure, he's the only one of the cuckarmy that even stepped forward etc.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i can't think of any project that actually thrived under his management. systemd tard pm'd circles around a decade's worth of collected rms effort in half a year.
mircea_popescu: this is not nothing ; even if it isn't the something one'd like it to be.
mircea_popescu: i can accept that terminology ; above statement becomes "of fucking course lucid didn't want an inanimate object seated in the chair"
mircea_popescu: phf also, the split didn't happen around 18.59, it happened around whatever the fuck it was, 18.10. there was a period when both lucid and fsf were releasing "newer" minor versions, skipping the other's.
phf: yeah, 59 is the earliest one i have
mircea_popescu: not to mention they were both proceeding off "alpha" 19 which had been brewing at that time for at least 18 months.
mircea_popescu: meaning you need a 1990s emacs, serious antiquariania over here.
phf: a proper base for genesis!
phf: oh ffs, literally down two lines down in the logs
mircea_popescu: ok, here, jwz variant : emacs 18.48 released 18sep1987!!!! off which they started epoch, and 18.55 off which they based both 19 and through that venue lucid version
mircea_popescu: so the point of comparison would be i guess either 48 or 55
mircea_popescu: apparently mule was originally "nihongo emacs" ? hurr.
mircea_popescu: (the whole nihongo affair may be interesting to the student of high functioning autist idiocy because it's to my knowledge the only documented case of japanese being incredibly fucking dense in the sense of "dumber for being smart than if you weren't smart at all")
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspect this was at the time the true problem : jwz wanted to unicode the japanese way and rms didn't even understand what's being discussed (which -- major fucking failure for the role, incidentally).
mircea_popescu: but, new stockings parade demands my presence, so bbl.
phf: naggum was pro unicode also
phf: mule is probably part of the greater concern within the overal situation which was japanese and unicode
phf: japs hated unicode for own, peculiar reasons, and still mostly do. the solution they were trying to push through on emacs actually supported their peculiar use case.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-03 15:40 phf: the whole font changes meaning take two is coming from the japanese. they were actively promoting this idea back during early unicode standardization days, where there was a strong drive to include every idiosyncratic version of kanji in the standard, because "that's how my family writes it in our last name".
