SuchWow: and what happened to fluffypony
SuchWow: oh, is still here
SuchWow: mainly i'm just curious
SuchWow: as to the current sentiment
SuchWow: overall
mircea_popescu: who were you again ?
mircea_popescu: !gettrust SuchWow
assbot: SuchWow is not registered in WoT.
SuchWow: I was a founding op of #dogecoin lol
SuchWow: and i've never been interested
SuchWow: in bot trust games lol
mircea_popescu: mkay.
SuchWow: u can search ur logs for more, i've had a few mildly amusing exchanges here (not really tho
cazalla: SuchWow, is this the day where you check if #b-a is still around long after dogecoin was put to sleep?
SuchWow: cazalla: clearly you haven't been watching dogecoin charts, and even more clearly, you have no idea who i am.
SuchWow: or what i do, etc.
SuchWow: but have fun with your attempted cajoles lol
cazalla: SuchWow, you mean i don't know chinese exchanges pump it up with fake volume to fool westerners?
SuchWow: now i get why you only voice ppl under certain conditions
SuchWow: cazalla: if you say so, i really and honestly wouldn't know anything about that
cazalla: what conditions are they?
SuchWow: i dunno, you're here in this chan, i haven't been here for months
SuchWow: you tell me
SuchWow: you're the one making subtly degrading comments towards me based on total ignorance
SuchWow: so perhaps the rules have changed
SuchWow yawns
cazalla: people often up others that /join the channel.. sorta like answering a knock at the door? just being polite ya know, there is no judgement one way or the other until you open your mouth
ben_vulpes: altcoins are retarded, you're going to get prodded when you show up here pumping them.
ben_vulpes: big whoop.
SuchWow: cazalla: i've been upped over a dozen times here, thanks
SuchWow: it was not my idea to bring up altcoins in the discussion
SuchWow: someone asked who i was, i reminded them, and then you started in with ur bullshit
SuchWow: doesn't bother me at all tho tbh
ben_vulpes: heh. but you're here! who could resist taking a shot!
SuchWow: :D
ben_vulpes: > ur bullshit
ben_vulpes: > doesn't bother me
ben_vulpes: mhhhhhhhm
SuchWow: well i'll be more clear
SuchWow: implying that i have knowledge of what he was saying
SuchWow: is the bullshit part
SuchWow: what he actually said cold be true,, i woudln't know lol
ben_vulpes: we all do is the funny part
SuchWow: i just saw one of your 'members' spamming in another chan
ben_vulpes: we're all complicit in the altcoin pump and dump nao!
SuchWow: and said 'hey, why not see what they'er up to'
ben_vulpes: winding up altcoiners, today
cazalla: SuchWow, you're the one that said check out the charts.. i did and btc38 is supposedly 85% of the dogecoin trade
SuchWow: since btc has returned to volatility again
SuchWow: and i l ike to trade 796 at 50:1 instead of playing poker these days
mircea_popescu: lol what, the proposition is that dogecoin still exists ?!
SuchWow: cazalla: pretty sure cryptsy is still #1, but haven't checked honestly
SuchWow: cazalla: my comment was more about you saying doge had been 'put to sleep'
SuchWow: when in reality it has returned close to 400% recently
cazalla: pretty sure but haven't checked.. ok sorta makes sense why you'd be involved in dogecoin to begin with
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> "i thought i killed it a year ago!"
SuchWow: cazalla: there you go again. Why do you think i am involved with dogecoin?
SuchWow: you keep using that as an insult
SuchWow: but i'm not involved with dogecoin
SuchWow: and haven't been for a long time
cazalla: SuchWow, you brought it up by bragging about being a founder of #dogecoin (wow, such bragworthy, not)
ben_vulpes: you're not anyone, how could you be involved with anything...
SuchWow: so keep on with that delusiohn. it would seem YOU know more than ME about it lol
SuchWow: cazalla: i was asked 'who are you again'
SuchWow: i answered
SuchWow: that's it
SuchWow: the rest wqas you
ben_vulpes: SuchWow: yeah who are you actually
SuchWow: dealwithit.jpg
williamdunne: SuchWow: You mentioned the dogecoin thing, I also assumed you're still involved

assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1GBqsVv )
SuchWow: that was what/who everyone knew me as
SuchWow: that is generally my reputation
cazalla: SuchWow, being involved in dogecoin at some point is not something you go around bragging
SuchWow: clearly it rings a bell to none of you
SuchWow: and you just keep asking me over and over lol
ben_vulpes: i tried to short it once
ben_vulpes: but i'm retarded so
SuchWow: i'm not bragging? i was answering a question asked of me
SuchWow: y'all dense as fuck
SuchWow: THAT is what (if anything) you would remember me from
SuchWow: and if you didn't want to know
SuchWow: you shouldn't have asked
SuchWow: hostile crowd here
mircea_popescu: well yeah.
cazalla: there is no hostility, you're just a little touchy
SuchWow: I'm the touchy one? LOL!!

mircea_popescu: SuchWow nobody asked them anything.
ben_vulpes: who cares
SuchWow: everyone in btcland should?
SuchWow: because if rumors about china banning are relevant
SuchWow: than ACTUAL FACTS about regulation should be pertinent?
ben_vulpes: by the time the usg realizes that there's a btc-shaped train headed its way it will be too late for it to do anything.
mircea_popescu: i dun think you understand how teh btcworld works.
ben_vulpes: naw it'll be great SuchWow

SuchWow: way more fun than poker
ben_vulpes: repeat!
mircea_popescu: "main calls AppInit, which itself calls AppInit2 catching all exceptions in two seperate logic branches, shuting itself down if the second layer of AppInit doesn't fire correctly:"
SuchWow: i'm currently bullish, after a LONG time of being bearish
mircea_popescu: for crying out loud.
SuchWow: hence why i was curious as to the general sentiment here
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what!?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i just keep forgetting the horrest parts of bitcoin
ben_vulpes: it almost looks normal now
ben_vulpes: weep for me

mircea_popescu: mysterious BDB shenanigans on application shutdown << it doesn't have atomic index operations. which means, that it can has updated index but unupdated data.
SuchWow: i ofc assume that sentimentality on btc prices affects the securities tradded with it lol
mircea_popescu: at least that's what i understand of it.
ben_vulpes: ah CAddrDB("cr+").LoadAddresses(); i missed you
SuchWow: Anyhow, it's been a pleasure speaking with you all, and should I ever quit my job and start daytrading BTC/USD fulltime again, I will return. I will give back the last 2 minutes I have of being 'upped' to the floor. :)
mircea_popescu: cheers.
ben_vulpes: you were keeping track?
SuchWow pours shots for everyone before he goes
ben_vulpes: this was a deliberately orchestrated event!
mircea_popescu: "Even though the application's default behavior is to create the ~/.bitcoind directory itself unprompted (and yet not the bitcoin.conf file that the damn thing expects in there), if you pass it a data directory that doesn't exist, it refuses to create it."
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
ben_vulpes: i feel hoodwinked.
mircea_popescu: o god.
ben_vulpes: i'm getting lazy with pronouns.
ben_vulpes: but it's hard to write well wearing asbestos gloves.
mircea_popescu: Bitcoind as written would be the best possible example of condescending software design if it were worthy of being called "designed" instead of "crufted together by a monotonically increasingly febrile group of contributors". << i can sign that.
SuchWow: BOTTOMS UP! CHEERS! KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT MEN! AND WOMEN! AND OTHERS! SEE YOU IN 2016 WHEN THIS SHIT GETS SUPER REAL :D

ben_vulpes: poor old man
ben_vulpes: poor, poor you
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes btw, as a matter of course articles like that should contain a "this is how you get your system to reproduce my screenshots" thing, with emacs settings etc.
mircea_popescu: help people learn the shit you use makes more people use the shit you use makes you less likely to have to learn shit other people use.
ben_vulpes: e for student

mircea_popescu: it doth not have the great degree of generality that a good exercise makes.
ben_vulpes: M-x gdb
ben_vulpes: okay okay
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and yet, author knows enough to use strprintf rather than any other of the countless vulnerable c string things
mircea_popescu: in which aspect c is very much like php
mircea_popescu: ( http://locklessinc.com/articles/dynamic_cstrings/ for the curious )
assbot: Dynamic Strings in C ... ( http://bit.ly/1GBrSiV )
ben_vulpes: does argue for a rather sophisticated greybeard
ben_vulpes: the most elaborate programming exercise - write something world-changing in a style nobody would ever attribute to you
mircea_popescu: myeah. it just doesn't wash, half the "expert" population of c-ers doesn't actually comprehend c string safety
mircea_popescu: (admitting such exists)

mircea_popescu: nuts tho. i hadn't realised cartwheels'd necessarily be a big part.

asciilifeform does not, sadly, have time to personally follow all of the crackpotteries
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hearn and Co are pushing some derp where "Those Bitcoins are yours even before the transaction is mined" idiocies
asciilifeform: how does it (claim to) work ?
ben_vulpes: broadcast a transaction with a higher fee, miners will include it preferentially to a previous transaction with the same inputs ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
BingoBoingo: faith
ben_vulpes: nevermind that nothing keeps people from selecting transactions for block inclusion arbitrarily
BingoBoingo: The Tood thing works through pure profit incentive
ben_vulpes: myeah, and miners should really be doing it already
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, BingoBoingo: what is so peculiar about including whatever transaction fee? this was always possible ..?
ben_vulpes: it is in no way to the best of my knowledge a change in anything of import
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's basically just Peter Todd made the first public code available to do this
asciilifeform: to do what?
ben_vulpes: convention for a long time was that "the earliest broadcast transaction wins" as some sort of half-assed soft-connsensus-aka-fecal-matter prophylactic against double spends
BingoBoingo: Select for fees
BingoBoingo: on the same inputs
asciilifeform: i don't get it. anyone was already able to specify arbitrarily high fee
asciilifeform sorta assumed that miners already optimize for snarfing up max fee ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Indeed, but whatever fee maximizing patches miners and pools were running for were like most serious pool code... seekrit
asciilifeform: if they don't, they are fools, and it isn't any fault of mine
asciilifeform: let me guess:
ben_vulpes: prefer transactions with high fees over transactions with low fees
asciilifeform: shitgang is trying to push a 'for miners' version of turdcoin ?
ben_vulpes: it's about inclusion logic after transactions got broadcast

ben_vulpes: clearly don't understand how theWerld Werks (tm)
asciilifeform: btw, one of the (not so) secrets is that mining does not select for 'the brightest bulbs at home depot [u.s. household goods shop]' - nor for political acumen, nor for really much else other than the peculiar countereconomic wormholes which make it sound like a reasonable proposition
ben_vulpes: moreover i'm not convinced it wasn't a stooge who broadcast the RBF txn to make the tweet in the first place

asciilifeform: (a surprising number had corpse-gas exhaust pipes!)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes was there, saw this
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Individual enclosures, one time setup fee which covers adapting the machine to its new cooling and power situation
asciilifeform: incidentally earth is great for passive cooling
asciilifeform: (if burial is deep enough)
asciilifeform: you will need to seal to keep out moisture, but if repair is not a concern (machine is disposable, replacement gets new burial plot) this is relatively simple matter
asciilifeform: though i still like my proposal for sinking miners to the bottom of the north atlantic, more.
asciilifeform: (go and steal, aha)
BingoBoingo: I'm thinking more steel sheds, rural locations that happen to be near interections of big city fiber. Prospective franchisees would be the local small town "computer repair" folk
asciilifeform: nah, you want to take serious advantage of the expendability
asciilifeform: but in such a way that the box lives out its remaining life, rather than being lifted by the first idiot copper scavenger who comes along.
asciilifeform: (not because valuable, but because copper scavengers need to be publicly flayed rather than encouraged) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Sure, but I'm thinking you do so by getting machines from the customers.
BingoBoingo: customer brings boxen, pay setup then power+pipe. Value proposition to franchisees is small town computer outfit gets an avenue to engage in rent collection.
asciilifeform: if box is easily accessible, 'skin not worth the tanning'
asciilifeform: whole point would be the physical security of a few metres of cement
asciilifeform: (it is possible to break up cement, but not without anyone noticing. this is the basic principle for the nuke test-ban compliance gadget used on both sides of the ocean) ☟︎
asciilifeform: see the literature.
asciilifeform: (machine includes vibration, ph, sensors, clinometer, magnetometer, etc. if readings deviate from 'pylon is happily alone in the earth' memory gets zeroed and walked over, continuously)
BingoBoingo: Point for the customers is access to pipe and power off of their own premises. Physical security offered against naive scavengers, but premise could scale to hundreds of locations. Cheap and easily replicable
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: schmucks in, iirc, germany, doing this already. see logs
asciilifeform: snorefest because this has literally no serious advantage over normal hosting
asciilifeform: (if i wanted a box in some schmuck's house, i'd put it right here in mine)
asciilifeform: but five metres of cement - or 500m of salt water - that would be something.
BingoBoingo: Typical imagined customer is small business that wants to support other local business. Connosieur customer wants access to pipe without fucking up their netflix at home.
asciilifeform: so he would share with ~some other schmuck's~ netflix ?
asciilifeform: this has all the appeal of renting out the toilet in your house as a public latrine
BingoBoingo: lol, yes
asciilifeform: or your kitchen, as a place for bums to cook roadkill in

BingoBoingo: mats: Go for it
asciilifeform: 'sharing economy!!11!!1' (tm) (r)
BingoBoingo: Seriously, this has all the promise of a great chumpatron except every now and then a customer does something worthwhile
asciilifeform: btw, my local telco quasimonopoly - 'verizon' - had a hilarious tamer version of this for some years, where you pay a few hundy for a box that opens a vpn to their end and gives you cell signal in your house, via your own net pipe. and they had the audacity to still charge for the 'minutes' and per MB of data.
asciilifeform: as result, the only folks who bought were 1) chumps 2) people who wanted to make own 'stingray'
mats: that's kind of brilliant
asciilifeform: vendor very much did not like (2) and they closed the hole which made reflashing the rom trivial. now you have to actually open the plastic box, oh noez.

asciilifeform: what, other than bitcoind, would you even consider putting on such a thing

BingoBoingo: And now we have the real crux of the problem. How to get chumps to subsidize serious pipe
asciilifeform: brings back to a fundamental point from one of mircea_popescu's articles - shuffling things around is not going to increase 'number of turkeys available'
asciilifeform: usa is a shit-internet country. this won't change because there is no good reason for it to change
BingoBoingo: More turkeys is a very hard problem. More chickens is much easier.

asciilifeform: (hell, possibly whole usa is candidate for this)
BingoBoingo: Mapsploring I am finding a disturbing number of duelingbajos-fucktowns which by all right ought to have datacenters advertising colospace based on cable locations and intersections.
asciilifeform: they probably have cable in cement vault
BingoBoingo: A number of these fucktowns even have major connection endpoints in the form of bezzelversities
asciilifeform: incidentally, just about every american town of any size has a version of this: the hollowed-out fortified walls of the old strowger-switch telco exchanges
asciilifeform: they are being filled up with 'dc on the cheap'
BingoBoingo: Prime candidate for such an operation is carbondale, Illinois. Lived there once. Oasis of connectivity in a desert. Major chicago-New Orleans pipe. Indianapolis pipe. St Louis pipe. Shithole Kentucky pipes. Many hippies who want to "buy local"
asciilifeform: but still largely empty, because in bezzleworld 'cheap' is a relative thing.
asciilifeform: but at no point does it make sense to emplace anything of any value whatsoever in mr. randomschmuck's house.
BingoBoingo: USG datacenters 10 miles away in Marion, IL off of the pipe path because prisons and FBU
asciilifeform: i will have no part in it. and i can't picture any sane person wanting a part in it.
BingoBoingo: Oh I never said house. I said shed. Shed goes on shitland, in town's once industrial district. Preferably a "superfund" site.
asciilifeform: what, again, would you pay actual money to host in such a place ?
BingoBoingo: to host three machines in different locals for the price of one machine in a big city datacenter
asciilifeform: and how does it beat the 20-30bux/mo an old pentium3 in data center costs?

asciilifeform: 'At Treblinka, an underground organization plotted an armed rebellion and mass escape. Learning about the Warsaw ghetto revolt from the last transports of Jews brought to Treblinka from Warsaw, the organizers decided the moment for revolt had arrived. On August 2, 1943, the underground fighters put their plan into action: to steal arms from the warehouse; eliminate the German and Ukrainian guards on duty; set the camp on fire;
asciilifeform: destroy the extermination area; and, then help the remaining prisoners escape to the forest. Many were killed during the rebellion, including all the resistance leaders, as the flames and reports of the revolt brought German reinforcements from all directions. But as many as 200 prisoners escaped to the neighboring forest, and perhaps twenty of those men survived German efforts to recapture them.'

funkenstein_: kai-shek had son captured by russians, was incapacitated

pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: i suspect that a healthy chunk of b,tmsr~ is equally prepared to prove this wrong.
pete_dushenski: the digital domain being quite a different landscape from the concentration camps, i suspect it's entirely possible.
pete_dushenski: like the deficits that we can run, no one else can do.

asciilifeform: by same argument, e.g., linux, has been running a far bigger 'deficit,' longer ☟︎
pete_dushenski: difference between voluntary and coerced taxation model is my understanding.

asciilifeform: the original generation of 'computers are interesting and we know basic maths, etc' grew old, mostly did not die yet except in ben franklin's sense of 'most people die at 25 but buried at 75'

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: would you be willing to share, roughly, how old you are ?
funkenstein_: this might apply to say, nethack coding
funkenstein_: but some things do have needs they address
funkenstein_: probably older than you, just not wiser
funkenstein_: due to various factors you may have already surmised
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: so you oughta be well-equipped to understand the observation re: 'it costs a hell of a lot to live'
funkenstein_: ok i don't know norway.. but i think that needs a bit of sussing out
funkenstein_: he does mention "advanced society¨..
asciilifeform: norway was considerably more expensive for naggum than for just about anyone
asciilifeform: on account of how he ended up - literally - taxed to death
funkenstein_: ok that context does help thanks
asciilifeform: (short version: he decided that he could easily live off the consulting pay from working a few months / year. no. gov. decided that he must be secretly working the remainder of the year, and demanded tax, which he could not afford to pay. was driven into penury and died of self-neglect from easily treatable diseases)
funkenstein_: it is an often discussed irony that technology decreases leisure time
asciilifeform: but overall he was, i think, referring to the more prosaic fact that it costs a hell of a lot to ~not live like a 17 y.o. shit~
asciilifeform: that is, having four walls to sit in without strangers sharing the space, to eat real food, to sometimes visit doctors, etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: this is even aside from the expensive things folks sometimes ~choose~ to do when they grow older, like producing children, etc
pete_dushenski: children, traveling, cars, hobbies...
pete_dushenski: it adds up quickly.
asciilifeform: there are other 'costs' that aren't precisely monetary, like the fact that you can't do the 20 years where you became a serious specialist in something - over again
funkenstein_: the travel one rings true.
pete_dushenski: ah yes, 'opportunity costs'
funkenstein_: damn in norway? that is surprising, from what i hear of social system there
funkenstein_: anyway, the irony is that he is.. while complaining about it.. donating his time to write the piece
funkenstein_: for us to discuss here now
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: a usenet post (or, for that matter, me speaking here) is more like a fart
asciilifeform: than 'donated time'
asciilifeform: it doesn't soak up concentration of the kind that is a serious limited resource in a thinking person's day
funkenstein_: useful work
funkenstein_: you can't be serious
asciilifeform: next time you're hungry, try eating this 'useful work'
funkenstein_: i'm sure you dream IRC
funkenstein_: I'll stick with oats and water
funkenstein_: I had a dream, something happenend in channel, and you or someone said "six months! right on schedule"
asciilifeform: wasn't me
funkenstein_: hehe
asciilifeform doesn't recall doing the 'six months' thing personally, either
funkenstein_: so it's a thing?
funkenstein_: i mean, past the excellent Yeshiva post
asciilifeform: it was a maxim made up by either mircea_popescu or pete_dushenski (forgot who)
asciilifeform: whereby a n00b 'must read log for 6 mo' before he can make any sense
funkenstein_: :D
funkenstein_: maybe that's what it was
asciilifeform is still not certain that he 'makes sense' even today

mircea_popescu: 2) optionally, irc box << i don't see that we need it. irc is dead, it was stupid to begin with, time to put it to sleep.
ascii_field: it was begging for bullet for years
mircea_popescu: (peer over irc acquisition never worked worth a shit - the reason it was moved off freenode for instance is that it needed a special ircd to have even a vague chance)
ascii_field: what's special in that one
mircea_popescu: but i am very much perturbed by your proposition that it worked until recently. to what degree worked ?
ascii_field: i'm not seeing any oddities
mircea_popescu: can you say, count all the peers you ever got off irc ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i got peers from it
ascii_field: ever since i've snipped out the gavindns seeds & the hardcoded seeds from my own tree
mircea_popescu: did you actually do a full sync that was throughout dependent on irc as sole primary peer source ?
ascii_field: one full sync and several partial (into the high 200k's)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc the problem was something about how /who flooded the client. so they made a limit so it only shows 100 entries
ascii_field: (terminated through no fault of their own, simply because wanted to start from scratch when testing patches)
mircea_popescu: but then botched it and it always showed the same 100
mircea_popescu: which then flooded the clients in question so they stopped working
ascii_field: l0l!
mircea_popescu: ikr?
ascii_field: this almost certainly stopped being a problem ages ago
ascii_field: as the thing (mostly) died
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: still, special.
ascii_field: so irc on butcher block?
mircea_popescu: can you discern from whence you sit if the following is a possible explanation : you got now and again (rarely) a peer, which gave you its lists of peers, which is how you actually synced.
mircea_popescu: irc on butcher block.
ascii_field: well of course that's how i synced
ascii_field whets knife
mircea_popescu: so maybe the "doesn't work" vs "worked 3 days ago" is simply that you ran yours for a day and ben_vulpes ran his for fifteen minutes.
ascii_field: quite possibly.
ascii_field: i will remind readers that 'irc on butcher block' means a 100% reliance on seeds we enter in config. and also on specifying node's external ipv4. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: aye.
ascii_field: which is, i suppose, as it should be. but means that: we need seeds. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i will provide no less than three, on physically separate machines, provided this can actually be made to work. which depends on excellent documentation.

mircea_popescu: doubt the comparison "more pashtun than x" can be declared in scopes where nobody's killed anyone for honor.,
ascii_field: sure it can
mircea_popescu: in any case the actual pashtuns might be nonplussed by the proposition.
ascii_field: doubtless
ascii_field: meant shorthand as 'less of a doomed child of specialization and overcivilization in general'
mircea_popescu: is he more convergent than you, also ? can you apply CBS to your own monotony "to some degree" ?
ascii_field: l0l
mircea_popescu: im not sure that less exists.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to formalize a positive form for this, not merely the negative :
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that a team of two people selected from five that are only informed in general computer sanity can produce in the same time better software than the sum of all five, each schooled in one specialisation : sysadmin, webdev, db management, ux and marketing.
mircea_popescu: yes, this means that three people out of five would starve. guess what ? four of five starve now.
ascii_field: then i ask mircea_popescu, as best proof of this conjecture, to supply two people who know arse from elbow re: therealbitcoin from this pool
mircea_popescu: nonspecialisation would be strictly a better outcome. the only problem with it is that it relies on falsifying the "we are all human" dogma.
mircea_popescu: clearly only two out of the five are human.

mircea_popescu: she, of course, has a boy back home. and that boy... comes to check her out.
mircea_popescu: the way this movie is generally perceived is "oh, russian mob and mail order bride scam". nothing of the kind. the russian boy is pretty much playing it by the ear,
mircea_popescu: and there's a most endeering scheme where he and the current guy his girl is ... with, let's say, walk in the woods.

ascii_field: it is absolutely relevant unless you are mircea_popescu, flyer of atomic dirigible
ascii_field: and it isn't about the equipment. i'd burn it all if meatwot were portable
ascii_field: naggum certainly did not stay in shitland on account of equipment.
mircea_popescu: more on account of not asking the bank clerk about fucking her over her desk ?
ascii_field: but, as i surmise, on account of 'rather die than compete with 16 year-olds on their home turf'
trinque: even that makes very little sense, as though death holds some better alternative
ascii_field: trinque fails pashtun exam
mircea_popescu: competing with 16yos is how you end up fucking 16yos.

mircea_popescu: "C++ is philosophically and cognitively unsound as it forces a violation of all known epistemological processes on the programmer. as a language, it requires you to specify in great detail what you do not know in order to obtain the experience necessary to learn it. "
mircea_popescu: you know there's actually a strong possibility this assertion is correct. from my experience discussing programming with girls that don't program, it often comes to some derivative of exactly this.
mircea_popescu: either "how do you know that", "how was i supposed to know that" or the more broad "this shit is just fucking stupid already"
williamdunne: On a side note something I found to be interesting; whenever it came up that I preferred the traditional model of a wife being submissive to her husband who goes to work while she performs domestic duties, it was made out that I am a neo-nazi by people my own age ☟︎

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: c - no
williamdunne: I never even said anything particularly controversial in my opinion; only that I would prefer a wife who didn't work over one that did
ascii_field: cpp, and other idiocies that force-rape the programmer with 'classes' etc - do.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne why would you prefer a wife that didn't work, and if you do, how do you know you're not actually looking for a mistress ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field even cpp. let's model this on the act of telling a joke.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Wife was simply for their understanding, I'm not particularly concerned with the idea of marriage
mircea_popescu: now, you've probably heard enough jokes in your time to know there are two basic styles. one style is "some guy walks into a bar" and the other style is "this bloke joe walks into the bar".
ascii_field: (this-bloke (gensym) (walked-into (bar)))
mircea_popescu: the former is often trampled on by scoping questions by the [lamer] members of the audience. the second uses misdirection (the name's a throwaway) to perhaps enhance the results.,

cazalla: why do you prefer the traditional model of a wife if no desire for kids?
trinque: think he means that *he* has to bother with
mircea_popescu: either because he wants to buy a whore rather than rent ; or because he wants a mistress but is affraid of her bulls.

mircea_popescu: i swear the quality of tx relaying is shittening every day.
mircea_popescu: the number of txn broadcast through one node used to be pretty much zero. i would guess by now it's over 10%. which is fucking insane.
mircea_popescu: (for the amaterus : txn propagation has a lot in common with epidemiology, a topic recently trouched upon here. in any case : the spots where a transaction goes from "unknown" to "broadcast through one node" to "broadcast to the whole net" are interesting in the general case. and the first move thereof a very good measure of "quality", basically speaking the inverse of an infection's pathogenicity)
mircea_popescu: (seeing how a transaction lives as such a finite interval before being included in a block, the % of txn that live as "known to one" vs the total "known to all" is of particular interest)

ag3nt_zer0: so, if structuralism and post-structuralism are reactions against "traditional" humanism, and "tradition" in general (which seems untenable given that I see Traditonal metaphysics as opposed to humanism), would post-post-structuralism be pro-traditionalism to some degree? ☟︎

trinque: ag3nt_zer0: no offense but I have no idea what you just said
trinque: care to restate?
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: structuralism smacks of "that stolen-from is not your stolen-from; it's all of ours"
trinque: an attempt of many to claim some aggregate which supercedes the individual
trinque: so if it's one of those, oldest swindle there is
trinque: I don't see anything new; talented people try to do interesting things, and others try to hold him back to varying degrees
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer_popescu and at the end he said "welcome to the post-post- structuralist world that the internet has enabled" or something to that effect... that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and- tradition,, but as far as i understand, ☟︎

trinque: yep
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: how do you define traditionalism?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: shotgun definition: orientation toward a suprahuman or transcendental "dimension" ☟︎
ag3nt_zer0: Plato was a traditional philosopher
trinque: it's interesting then to see humanism in contrast to that term, as humanism seems to imagine this platonic form of "human" which we all resemble, and are therefore intrinsically valuable somehow
ag3nt_zer0: it is really perennial traditionalism, or perennialism that I am thinking of
ag3nt_zer0: well I suppose one way to english the difference is that a traditional orientation would be vertical (upward, toward the absolute, what not), vs horizontal (man is measure of all things and human contentment and "happiness" main goals)
trinque: I tend to be wary of systems that try to provide a taxonomy of human action
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: I see roughly what you're pointing at; what do you make of it?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: still making of it hehe

trinque: and I tend to interpret it along those lines, rather than there actually existing some transcendental realm where concepts exist, dance about, generating meaning
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well the stuff of matter must rest upon something, no?
