mircea_popescu: also thinking things through, now that pizarro's no more there's prolly no real point to that.

mircea_popescu: spyked, one annoying part about your blog's implementation of footnotes is that they don't tooltip the content. which sucks.

BingoBoingo: 2017-2019 More than half of identifiable Korean datacenters still try to force inital contact through the telephone. 3/4 still obviously Microsoft shops. Remainder target foreigners.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't yet speak Korean. Some cases take more digging than others, but places to shove my solicitation are being found.

spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953986 <-- approved, I'll be away today, so will answer tomorrow. otoh, 2014 /me had much less of an idea about politix in software than nao (didn't even start reading the logz back then). e.g. my lunix conference run fails to cover the broken parts I saw there and couldn't properly verbalize at the time

spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953982 <-- will also look into that and I'll post a fix. I'm having the markdown plugin generate footnotes instead of ye olde footnotes plugin.

spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-30#1953918 <-- fwiw, write-ups usually take me at least an hour. testing's the easy part, except when I encounter weird stuff, which adds another 1-2 hrs on top of those 10 minutes it should take.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-30 13:30:48 diana_coman: at any rate, the hour was spent: ~10 minutes figuring out the change and making it directly on my blog so that the results were clear; ~30 minutes for full vpatch process: retrieve+press current v-tree to head; make code + manifest file changes; test press of result & check + final sign; ~20 minutes for write-up + upload + overall final check.

diana_coman: uhm, so possibly it's just that I'm the weird one around here for which the tech part takes longer than the writing, ha!

diana_coman: come to think of it, it makes perhaps more sense to note that the 30 minutes worth of changes should in fact be correctly expressed as at least an hour worth of write-up; basically I had too little write-up to justify a vpatch!

ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-30 14:08:42 mircea_popescu: what's 30 minutes worth of changes ?

BingoBoingo: In local news, the breaking is starting to ratchet up though so far only at night and only on the weekends http://archive.is/LpTDx

BingoBoingo: Anyways, small sample size, but it seems the Navy and the Chorros are entering something that could be an extended conflict. Especially in light of the fact the chorros can escape Navy jurisidction by crossing the street.

BingoBoingo: The morning of the 24th they made it to the area around the British embassy. This morning they made it to Montevideo Shopping.

BingoBoingo met some local journos, placed some business cards with folks in the neighborhood. Kids last night made it farther and spread more widely than the local press is giving them credit for.

bvt: dorion_road: i have discovered some WTF??? sort of bug in the kernel that manifests only outside of the VM. i will continue debugging it tomorrow, but this means that the writeup will appear only after it is fixed; sorry for this delay.

BingoBoingo back to the crawl, reply, crawl some more loop. Had to get this mega-Qntricle published before the Pinko-Color revolution media machine does its thing.
