ben_vulpes: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32423?project=1 << emacs over x11. am i the only one who does this?
assbot: FS#32423 : [emacs] emacsclient consistently crashes emacs ... ( http://bit.ly/1Be6TBu )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: over x11 vs what ?
ben_vulpes: in a terminal.
asciilifeform: i've only ever used emacs in x11
asciilifeform: ditto most folks i know
ben_vulpes: i've finally grown up a bit then i guess.
asciilifeform: is ben_vulpes using some perverse system ?
ben_vulpes: oh come now, don't be coy.
asciilifeform: netbsd on dead goat ?
asciilifeform: ah let me guess
ben_vulpes is baffled as to why guessing would be necessary
asciilifeform: iirc the canonical emacs on apple is 'aquamacs'
thestringpuller: http://i.imgur.com/AkFy40Z.jpg << hey look consumers!
asciilifeform: mostly trad emacs but with gui hooks for the os
ben_vulpes: right.
ben_vulpes: the progression was
ben_vulpes: aquamacs -> railwaycat emacs port -> erc in a terminal on a remote host -> frustrations with tiling window managers in os x -> discovery of xmonad, ratpoison and friends -> x11 configuration -> stumpwm -> emacs on os x in x11 -> horrific bastard mode of "znc" on local machine with "znc" running on remote host -> emacs on remote host as bouncer displaying on a local x11 frame
ben_vulpes: followed by emacsclient crashing emacs --daemon every time the x11 frame disappeared
ben_vulpes: all for want of a workstation, i suppose.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: VIM 4 LYFE
thestringpuller graffiti's his nice EMACS setup
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i presume the second item on this list was a build of traditional emacs for apple ?
asciilifeform: why switched from that to the remote thing ?
asciilifeform: (if this was in the log - link to log)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: novice's bouncer.
ben_vulpes: i like manipulating text in emacs, but wanted a persistent connection to b-a.
ben_vulpes: the most obvious route to me at the time was to run emacs in a terminal on a remote host.
asciilifeform opened today's mail, is leafing through 'ada 95 rationale' and it's a joy
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i enjoy colours, good fonts, etc. and so will not use emacs in a term if there's any choice about it
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: why not use a screen multiplexer? like tmux or screen?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: laugh if you will, misc-fixed-medium-r-normal
ben_vulpes: i don't really know enough to laugh.
asciilifeform: emacs is unbeatable on account of the customizations - not only of appearance (i've a different highlighting mode for every type of animal, and most are not the stock included ones) but mechanics - how do folks get along on other editors without 'hungry arrow keys', for example ?
ben_vulpes: all i really know is how to ask about what others do and run my own experiments.
ben_vulpes: hungry arrow keys?
asciilifeform: aha
ben_vulpes: i've no idea what you mean...
asciilifeform: as in, never having to hit an arrow key more than once to traverse a block of whitespace

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: re: hungry arrow keys << VIM i rarely use arrow keys...
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: re tmux etc like alf, i pretty much refuse to work in a terminal
ben_vulpes: it's good for the things for which it is good
ben_vulpes: but for other things, it is not.
ben_vulpes: htop - good
ben_vulpes: emacs - not.
thestringpuller: trinque: weechat interesting. i use irssi.
ben_vulpes: for instance, i hate weechat and irssi.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: i used to belive this but I don't like using mice. I find the use of a mouse kills my wrist.
ben_vulpes: cutting and pasting etc must fit within emacs text manipulation paradigms.
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: who said anything about mice?
thestringpuller: this is also why I hate IDE's that have "buttons"
ben_vulpes: i never take my hands off the keyboard.
ben_vulpes: do you take me for a menu-traverser?
thestringpuller: what is your stack?
thestringpuller: ^- ben_vulpes
trinque: thestringpuller: weechat's kind of butt, just less butt than other things I've used
thestringpuller: trinque: ah. the only client i've used is mirc, and as I just told ben_vulpes i hate mice.
trinque: what mouse?
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: stack?
trinque: shit I even vimperator
thestringpuller: thestringpuller: like what OS, browser, text editor do you use on your local that you don't have to use a mouse to navigate?
ben_vulpes: fine, you got me. not "never", but only under duress.
ben_vulpes: and progressively less as i sharpen my sword/till my garden.
thestringpuller: i'm trying to figure out your workflow I guess.
ben_vulpes: os x
thestringpuller: i've onyl been able to really accomplish that in terminal
ben_vulpes: emacs in x11
trinque: he's dialing in keywords on xkeyscore so he can find you
thestringpuller: oh so emacs does all the lifting as you said earlier
ben_vulpes: that is the point of using emacs.
ben_vulpes: text editor, debugger, grep wrapper, vcs wrapper, irc client...
ben_vulpes: tags browser...
ben_vulpes: granted, nothing that vim doesn't do (poorly)
thestringpuller: i really prefer a shell...
thestringpuller: alright them is fighting words
thestringpuller: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war << hah
ben_vulpes: i started with vim - i know somewhat whereof i speak.
thestringpuller: i don't use VIM outside text editing so I don't know the capacicty to which it is customizable
thestringpuller: i also don't use emacs but when trying to learn, it really really really made me want toss my computer out a window
trinque: thestringpuller: evil mode
trinque: you'll be right at home
thestringpuller: maybe, but also I don't know LISP ;)
thestringpuller: it's on my bucket list
trinque: sure you do; just don't realize it yet
thestringpuller: along with starting a crime family with asciilifeform
trinque: I bet you know python or something
thestringpuller: yea I know python. and also slowly ruby
thestringpuller: but the lispi-ness of it evades me for sure
thestringpuller: i use procedural paradigm when using Python and Ruby tho...
thestringpuller: altho ruby seems to punish you for it
trinque: yeah, but your other languages have expressions
trinque: just imagine everything's one of those, and there are no implicit orders of operation except up
thestringpuller: trinque: lets have a LISP tutorial when I'm tripping instead of drunk ;)
trinque: heh
trinque: ask someone more experienced
trinque: hacking my emacs and stumpwm configs have helped a great deal

nubbins`: usually due to "external factors" or "changing requirements"

mircea_popescu: that cap agricultural benefits thing is uniquely misguided.
mircea_popescu: "rich" does not mean what the poor imagine it means. the notion of running a farm on 26k subsidies a year... heh.
mircea_popescu: here's the thing : just because inflation has made every pauper think he holds money doesn't change the fact that a farmer today is worth a hundred million just by simply maintaining equality with a farmer of relatively the same social importance back in 1615.
BingoBoingo: Or they've surrendered in some cases to being a form of sharecropper. Depends on what and where they farm as well as how daddy ran the business
mircea_popescu: james smith's farm fed five hundred people in 1615. these aren't "500 out of the total pop of 5mn" for the same reason discussed in the thread about "average life expectancy"
mircea_popescu: most of those 5mn picked rags in london.
mircea_popescu: keeping the same *proportions* that farm's easily running deficits of millions today, for the reasons explained in http://trilema.com/2013/the-corn-thing/

asciilifeform: 'There is just one set of rules that are effective and widely deployed: those that enforce the destruction of the natural world. Buried in the cross-compliance regulations is a measure called GAEC 12. This insists that, to receive their money, farmers must prevent "unwanted vegetation" from growing on their land. (The rest of us call it wildlife habitat.) Even if their land is producing nothing, they must cut, graze or spray i
asciilifeform: t with herbicides to get their money. Unlike soil erosion, compaction and pollution, breaches of this rule are easy to detect and enforce: if the inspectors see trees returning to the land, the subsidy can be cut off altogether.'
BingoBoingo: "But M855 has well-documented shortcomings against soft targets (see Somalia, Iraq, etc.) The other common loading, M193, is more effective against soft targets. So the side effect of this ruling would be that more AR-15 owners would buy rounds that are more effective in the typical domestic shooting. The only people this rule change protects is the government, whose varmints wear Kevlar."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah. more like nostalgia for an earlier, simpler, matasareanu-er time.
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform would happily sign under that
thestringpuller: if you poop in your dreams you poop for real
nubbins`: ^
asciilifeform: what's a maintenance hallucination anyway ?
BingoBoingo: Let's stop calling them dreams, tht word has been abused to death. Children "dream" of world peace. Real men have maintenance hallucinations
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: REM sleep, particularly memorable bouts thereof
asciilifeform: ru and other sane langs have separate words for the 'dreams of world peace' and the kind you have asleep
asciilifeform: learn one.
asciilifeform: problem phixed.
asciilifeform: (TM)

assbot: Logged on 26-02-2015 21:07:24; nubbins`: mircea_popescu, maybe a poster campaign with a bit of cheekiness this time
nubbins`: well, the last one was sort of a "look at this neat thing" approach
nubbins`: next one: "look at these people doing it wrong"
mircea_popescu: about 300 years worth of experience with printing show that negative pamphlets only work in dictatorships.
mircea_popescu: unless it's "look at stalin sucking cock" it ain't worth printing.
nubbins`: heh.
nubbins`: yeah, fair
mircea_popescu: the penthouse interview with the faloon prostitute a fine example.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: but diss records work all the time. that's why biggie and tupac iz ded.
nubbins`: thestringpuller he has a point
nubbins`: for that matter, you do as well
nubbins`: anyway, just thinkin out loud
thestringpuller: it's like that episode fo the boondocks where they make a diss record about grandpa
BingoBoingo offers Jan 2015 through Feb 12th 2015 all kind of OOM kills, none since
thestringpuller: then all of a sudden people start beating up old people cause the song is dope
BingoBoingo crosses fingers
nubbins`: well anyway, that leftover money from the old posters is still sitting around
thestringpuller: one kid says, "I like to beat up old people cause the song said it was cool to do." << i guess this also related to eminem controversies of the late 90's
nubbins`: be nice to make use of it, for .foundation propaganda or otherwise

mircea_popescu: nubbins` leftover moneyz ?
nubbins`: nod. idea was to pay rubes in big cities to print out cheap copies of same poster and paste em up
nubbins`: after an exhaustive search, i found precisely one dude who said his nephew would do it
nubbins`: and it was such a shit job i don't even know if i should describe it
nubbins`: anyway, there's just over a bitcoin and a half there
nubbins`: mildly (but only mildly) surprising that people will suck pennies out of a btc faucet all day, but literally walking around with a roll of packing tape is too much work for $15/hr
mircea_popescu: i paid for this ?!
nubbins` nods
nubbins`: well, no.
nubbins`: you paid for the 50 for what's his name
nubbins`: then i printed another 50 to sell to forum rubes, with the express intention of the profit being used in this manner
mircea_popescu: a, i was starting to think my accounting's as tight as the dod's.
