heh I forgot that paragraph from yarvin: "

00:02

The basic problem is that the robber-barons of Silicon Valley, unlike their Victorian forebears, do not realize that, if they want all this science, they will actually have to pay for it - themselves. Instead, they look at their tax forms and think: I gave at the office."

00:02

"But they didn't. They gave to scientocracy. Now, they need to figure out how to patronize science - or there will be no science. Just scientific Bondo, sanded to perfection and painted with meticulous care."

there is a common misconception that collapse followed by sufficiently-many generations of starvation and abject degradation can 'reset' and get you a new 'india' in place of a worn-out, 'consumerized' husk

01:16

this is not actually true.

01:16

you are far more likely to get a new afghanistan.

01:16

(notice that no one is building factories there)

01:17

asciilifeform: 'likely' being based on the peoples and their geography

01:17

'indias' are produces by a uniquely 20th c. process of industrially-powered overpopulation

let europeans starve and they'll reset alright

01:17

they'll reset to pashtun mode

02:51

looks like cldjango to me

02:51

lisprails, but yeah

02:52

so far I tend to think the object system is for UI doodads, not for the data model

02:52

but imagine if you were actually into self-serializing data structures you could hang all sorts of useful stuff off of CLOS classes that did db queries transparently

02:52

(and oop)

02:53

I tend to think Table is an object, not Customer

02:53

otherwise you have two ever-diverging data models to constantly sync up

02:53

[MPEX] [S.MPOE] 81100 @ 0.00055522 = 45.0283 BTC [+] {3}

02:53

or you only use the features in the "upper" model

02:54

I still don't see how I'd use CLOS like I use view composition in the db

02:54

want to hear a dirty secret?

02:54

sure

02:54

our lispy crud stuff doesn't even formalize 'models'

02:55

we just have a bunch of functions called reset-password, set-user-whatever, update-user-whatever

02:55

I think that's the right way.

02:55

that poke mother pg in all of the right spots

02:55

100% right

02:55

the weakness is that we don't use database constraints, which is where the oop model shines a bit

02:55

(in comparison at least)

02:56

we just kinda hand-wave and say "yeah man there are users, and this is how we diddle them in the database in this particular way"

02:56

can always throw an error if a particular slot is initialized to nil

02:56

in clos

02:56

sure

02:56

i guess this is the "small teams and discipline" approach

02:56

db constraints seem like a decent step.

02:56

[MPEX] [S.MPOE] 21013 @ 0.00055579 = 11.6788 BTC [+]

02:57

but on the flipside, another deploy target

02:57

in particular what I like about the approach of just editing the db is it doesn't try to say this is a "customer" action or an "order" or so on

02:57

bolting the behavior to anything other than a symbol is retarded

02:57

if you wanna mention "customer" in the name of the function, great

02:58

hm from a perspective that is advocating a lack of constraints

02:58

on that subj

02:58

as for db constraints, they can at least help when some logic is easier expressed if it is assumed that the data model has some expected structure

02:58

rather than having if statements handling the lack of that part of the data model in code

"But... the most delicious part of this is that on at least two separate occasions, the board pressed /u/ekjp to outright ban ALL the hate subreddits in a sweeping purge. She resisted, knowing the community, claiming it would be a shitshow. Ellen isn't some "evil, manipulative, out-of-touch incompetent she-devil" as was often depicted. She was approved by the board and recommended by me because when I left, she was the

07:55

she's a fucktard, she has exactly no expertise or chops, and decade old failures are start-ups just like fifty year old starlets.

08:03

Naphex, how do you compete with something like mfc and livejasmin?

08:04

every try failed, hard so its all organic trafic

08:05

cazalla: easy. fast setup, fast payouts and none of the stupid shitty rules.

i'll be launching a refferal program for xotika.tv later this week. hopefully it will help with the activit

activity*

08:11

thinking 5...10% of the mbtc tips routed to the referral

08:14

can't imagine how i'd market it seeing i jump straight to mfc and don't bother googling .. perhaps keywords related to the country the girl is from might work "korean cam girl" type phrases

08:20

fluffypony

cazalla: yeah, I'd also guess that long-tail keywords are good in that space

08:26

fluffypony, yeah i'd target that and if Naphex is offering 5-10% of the the tips as referall payments, pay those you sign up 1/3 to 1/2 of that to sweeten it and incentivise em to use your links (i wonder how this would work with coinbase $25 sign up.. offer em $10 additional bonus)

not too keen, can't imagine the demand for new coinbase accounts is that great unless they're coming from stolen ids and shit

08:49

coinbase will pay u up to $20 for a legit new account. whiz bang!

that sparked some reading into the issue where i learned some dudes are so keen on this and they have shoe spy cams

yeah they charged this guy with cp distribution because his sdcard contained childreen

09:06

Naphex, tough sell to market to bitcoiners though.. i don't know what the numbers for mfc are like but i don't imagine more than 5% of visitors actually buy coins to tip the ladies with.. fewer people have bitcoins and i'd bet a smaller percent would be willing to part with em for cam girls, at least at this point in time

09:06

i dunno bout' that.

09:07

09:07

mircea_popescu, any idea what a site like mfc converts at?

yeah I find lvm is a 'solution in search of a problem'

21:55

sheer militant retardation of centos's default partitioning scheme << what's wrong with it ? asked he cluelessly.

21:55

1) lvm exists 2) asinine 50/50 split of disk between 'root' and 'home'

21:57

every time i ever used a binary dist of linux, ended up barfing from something like this

21:57

i mean, 'what even' (tm) (r)

21:58

someone was dropped as a baby ?

21:58

lol.

21:58

asciilifeform: in fairness, what would a 'sane' scheme be?

21:58

one that uses no lvm and allocates most space to 'home'

21:58

there was a menu thingie, 'use all disk'

21:58

the sane thing to do is to NOT LIE MOTHERFUCKERS

21:58

and actually use whole disk

21:58

for what? /boot?

21:59

aye, agreed

21:59

it has to insert itself into your business I guess

22:00

anyone serious does their own partition scheme

22:07

uh

50/50 root/home split forced ?!

22:08

this sounds insane. i've never seen it on any centos server i ever owned.

you can force your blocks to have more of a backlog than other blocks, which is also prioritized via the client

22:36

which could cause them to profit by stuffing their own blocks

with their own transactions

" it is to be feared that the gradual breaking down of their institutions, together with the drain on their national wealth, will make coolies, thieves, beggars and prostitutes of the proud and honourable Balinese of this generation, and will" prostitution is not to be feared. prostitution is the realisation of the feminine ideal finally liberated of all the slag of fear and hypocrisy.

that passage sounds like the seeds of 'liberal guilt'

i had a pile.

23:13

as in actual stock ceritficates?

yes.

yeah, apparently the common method is a big dumb 'depository company' holds them on behalf of another company who holds them on behalf of a broker who 'sells' them to you

23:14

i think i even have unissued ones from old corps in storage somewhere as well.

nobody forces you to participate.

you need to actually hold a certificate to be an owner in delaware apparently

how else would you do it ?

no, no "at least". have the cert or walk.
