| 15:57 |
asciilifeform |
instead of 'find the poetterings and impale' |
| 15:57 |
mircea_popescu |
actually from what i can grok from that piece, the proposed solution (dump unexec, move on to saving elisp stack) is actually an improv meent |
| 15:58 |
asciilifeform |
theoretically. |
| 15:58 |
mircea_popescu |
well, from a system design perspective. it makes 0 sense for emacs to actually save c machine state. |
| 15:58 |
mircea_popescu |
it also makes 0 sense for it to be a c piece of code, but that's a discussion for another time |
| 16:00 |
asciilifeform |
emacs, in case anyone forgot, is made of 2 pieces - a megatonne bucked of crud written in 1970-era shitlisp, and an interpreter (yes) thereof |
| 16:00 |
asciilifeform |
the latter is a native binary for whatever box the thing is running on. |
| 16:00 |
mircea_popescu |
"The number of people aboard who can matter-of-factly hack the Emacs internals on the C level is consistently going down, and is already so small they can be counted on one hand. We must make Emacs depend less on people from this small and diminishing group, if we want the development pace increased or even kept at its current level." << this is a very solid point. |

seems evident the correct solution is to get that proper lisp bootstrap i was discussing with phf and then re-write emacs in it. |

really c has no business in any of it. |
| 16:01 |

has no business anywhere, really. |

"elisp" is in no better situation ftr. |

which in fact is the reason anyone even uses it: 30 years of elisp extensions. |

which rely on bug-for-bug compatibility with the morass. |

mircea_popescu |
anyway. like it or not - it's time for a newmacs. |

asciilifeform |
it is, laugh or cry, an actual problem, and imho the reason climacs was stillborn |

because at the end of the day, when choosing between '30 yrs of muscle memory' and 'MAYBE new emacs 30 yrs from now' everyone picked the former. |

it is (and mthread / davout are invited to correct me , i am an armchair admiral ) as i understand, the reason why airplane today still has rudder pedals. |

phf even limiting the matter to ttfs (seriously, postcript is a whole extra layer of crazy) one quickly discovers some very serious conceptual problems. i don't even mean from a technological pov. |

now the question of whether or not designing a font language that simulates movement of calligraphic brushstrokes is a good idea.. |

consider a simpler problem - you wish for whatever reason to "pick a good font". suppose your "good" is specified. you proceed to... look at fonts, selected by some criteria. eventually you are tired to the point your eyes blur, and haven't seen 5% of the available offerigs in "gothic medieval" from one place. there's more places. when are you done ? |
| 18:01 |
mircea_popescu |
a) you can not meaningfully say if you've found a "good" font, seeing how you can't say what portion of fonts youv'e actually seen ; b) the very notion of good font is impossible because in principle all possible fonts were made already in triplicate. |
| 18:02 |
asciilifeform |
the sane answer is that machine needs at most 2, fixed and variadic width, and with such a renderer that each can display at any scale without pixillation. |
| 18:02 |
asciilifeform |
the end. |
| 18:02 |
mircea_popescu |
so you are essentially looking at a collection of ink spots, until you fall over. |
| 18:02 |
mircea_popescu |
there is absoloutely no reason there should be more than maybe a dozen or so fonts. but there are, because "easy to make", and in spite of the rapidly diminishing returns of "making". |
| 18:03 |
mircea_popescu |
instead, those rapidly diminishing returns drive a diminishing of quality. |

asciilifeform has 2 buttons on his keyboard, 1 opens term with 'small' fixed font, other with 'big' |

so upon meditation, this becomes very much an application of the disaster of commons discussed in http://trilema.com/2016/honor-societies-vs-respect-societies-or-how-the-disaster-of-commons-sunk-the-western-world/ : in order for fonts to be useful, they'd have to be few. however, because it's costly to enforce and the individual interest is missaligned, the result is... many. |
| 18:04 |
mircea_popescu |
this is not so different from the problem of, eg, emacs. or plan9. or any software. or any fucking shop in a town, or a mall. why the fuck are there FIFTY fast food offering the same crap in the food court ? |

nevertheless, the problem here isn't a discrete technological product, be it a font or a bridge ; nor the dysfunctional process that produced it, be it a broken cnc mill or lucent ; but altogether something more fundamental, where young man looking to "go west" decides the west is at the bottom of the lake and proceeds to dig. |

adlai it's not entirely evident to me that average intelligence person could not make excellent programmer. contrary to the "consensus" on the topic, programming is much more a matter of not being dumb than of being "creative" |

in random fun facts : soviet military expenditure in the 30s was ~12% of gdp. it jumped to ~18% in early 1940. this is BEFORE germany invaded (1941). today "normal" military expenditure is 1.x%, from japan and australia to italy or germany. the us does ~3.x. of the rich countries, the saudis are the only ones being reasonable (ie, over10%). the jews are half that. |
