12:03 verisimilitude What's wrong with the article, asciilifeform?
12:04 verisimilitude This is Yarvin's writing, right?
12:04 asciilifeform verisimilitude: aha
12:04 verisimilitude It seemed decent and similar to his prior work, although I've not read enough of it to become sick of it.
12:05 verisimilitude I've not read enough of his entire body of work to become sick of it, that is.
~ 26 minutes ~
12:32 asciilifeform verisimilitude: it aint even that 'sumthing wrong w/ the article' per se. simply, yarvin has decade+ career of 'snark', pseudoerudite 'historical'-flavoured pieces, and 'no one can ever so much as scratch the regime, don't even think' while carefully pushing his readers away from bitcoin, wot, any and all even mildly promising, even in principle, countermeasures to re

15:03 verisimilitude I'm more fond of a different saying.
15:03 verisimilitude Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
15:04 asciilifeform verisimilitude: where are the 'smart games' ? w/ 'smart prizes' ? where to queue up ?
15:05 verisimilitude That's a good question.
15:05 verisimilitude I like playing this game, in this IRC, well enough.
15:06 asciilifeform verisimilitude: i regret to inform -- there are no prizes, however
15:06 verisimilitude There are.
15:06 verisimilitude We're not walking around with cloth over our eyes, at the very least.
15:07 verisimilitude I treat this primarily as a venue for discussing programming and whatnot; the ignorance and rewritten history spanning decades is disconcerting and truly sickening.
15:07 verisimilitude The ignorance and rewritten history spanning decades of other venues is disconcerting and truly sickening, that is.
15:08 asciilifeform [www.loper-os.org/pub/the_spittoon.txt][the spittoon], verisimilitude, 'is all in one strand.' sadly concerns not merely programmings.
15:08 verisimilitude Sure, but focus is nice.
15:08 asciilifeform ok let's try that again :
15:08 asciilifeform the spittoon, verisimilitude, 'is all in one strand.' sadly concerns not merely programmings.
15:09 verisimilitude Oh, is that a flaw regarding the transforming procedure, then?
15:10 verisimilitude Sure, it's not just programming, but that's the poorly-understood magic of the modern world, like a new frontier, so our time focusses on it.
15:11 verisimilitude In another time, perhaps some of us would be in coffee houses betting on ships, instead.
15:18 verisimilitude I should've made an alchemy analogy, instead.
15:21 asciilifeform verisimilitude: needs the http... in url
15:26 verisimilitude That was my second guess.

22:23 verisimilitude I did something that was technically non-destructive, but swarmed me with so much information I ceased caring.
22:25 verisimilitude Let's say I've small N entries, and then I did something which added a few thousand, and swarmed out the N, causing me to stop caring about it. It wasn't destructive, but the interface offered no way to isolate the N again.
22:26 verisimilitude It seems clear that a better system would offer this, but this is creating a system that's just not amenable to heavy user modification to ensure these guarantees.
22:26 verisimilitude If every entry addition goes through function F, and F guarantees this, but F is redefined, now it's gone again.
