let me take this opportunity to point out to asciilifeform that his first item in the epic ffa write-up was dec 1st. this is dec 4th. wasn't it supposed to be a 1 hour apart publishing or what's going on there ?

11:57

asciilifeform

mircea_popescu: these take several days of continuous sweat to write.

11:57

asciilifeform

turns out.

11:57

mircea_popescu

ah i thought you had them all lined up

11:57

asciilifeform

nope.

11:57

asciilifeform

only the source material.

11:57

mircea_popescu

11:57

mircea_popescu

so what, like weekly ?

11:57

asciilifeform

aha.

11:57

mircea_popescu

worx.

11:58

asciilifeform

probably slightly faster towards the end, when there is less to say re adaism and only the algos need pedanticism

11:58

mircea_popescu

also lettuce announce there's going to be a nov-dec joint qntra statement.

11:58

mircea_popescu

asciilifeform no problem, as long as clearly communicated.

12:00

asciilifeform

afaik this kind of software item hasn't really been done since the 1980s magazine days ( i.e. where reader is asked to 'write the program' 'with' the author , rather than 'here it is, run, like a pig is fed' )

12:01

mircea_popescu

aha.

12:01

asciilifeform

so there are not so many guides to crib, re how.

12:01

asciilifeform

asciilifeform largely making the tune up as he goes.

12:01

mircea_popescu

that's a net positive.

12:01

mircea_popescu

and there's nothing wrong with a weekly rhythm of it either, gives reader chance to follow along.

12:01

mircea_popescu

make sure you don't miss days though, people who build up pented excitement get VERY pissy.

12:02

mircea_popescu

that'd be the drawback of longer spans.

12:02

12:02

mircea_popescu

12:04

mircea_popescu

anyway, back to the riyadh bombing : the "scud defense" thing is particularily lulzy because the scud's chief characteristic is how inaccurate it is.

12:04

mircea_popescu

"oh, we shot it down". well... considering 99% launches fail to touch target... "safe lie"

re rocket, it is exactly same story as the 'iron dome' idiocy from last yr

12:05

asciilifeform

rockets made by hobos from rusty plumbing discards, not even really aimed to begin with, 'magically shot!'

12:05

mircea_popescu

nah, was irani made, pretty certain.

12:05

mircea_popescu

iran ~= su in 1970.

12:07

mircea_popescu

basically the claim here seems to be that "if they hit anything, they hit the body after warhead separation", which seems a satisfactory description of fact.

12:10

mircea_popescu

anyway, flew 1k km, missed target by 1km. perfectly in line with scud capabilities. kinda why it's not much used, either.

asciilifeform the point i was perhaps understatedly making is that the LEGAL profession is now under attack from the red brigades. they fought the doctors in the court system for 30-40 years (whiole the idiot lawyers looked on, thinking they're special)

12:52

asciilifeform

all asciilifeform can add is that you can tell where in usa there is a courthouse, because for many miles around there is an infestation of 'bail bondsmen', 'bond loans', 'bail', shopfronts.

and also places where prisoners are forced to buy (yes) own gps collars

he takes the sentence "i am rich here as i'd be anywhere ; and i can't buy anything for it here unlike anywhere else" and turns it into "i am rich here because usg made me rich ; and i can't buy anything here or anywhere else because non-usg". whether he verbalizes that "non-usg" as "the most serene republic" or "black people" or "islam" or "patriarchy" or what have you, it's still what it is.

mircea_popescu: i'll investigate a bit the specific mechanics of failure in this case, but there are certain situations where unicode search doesn't necessarily work

this is because word break doesn't understand that 和 and 我 are words and no punctuation is required for breaking it up. there lies dragon territory

the other problem i'm confronting is that i don't now remember what the chinese even meant.

mircea_popescu

am i not following something ?

14:52

phf

it's fundamentally two different approaches, bvulpes's thing relies on a lot of pre-written code that comes with postgresql, mine, for better or for worse, is custom written. the approach that postgresql uses is much more elaborate than what i'm doing. (for example they have explicit lexing phase both for search and for indexing, that takes care of language specific break up of sentences)

14:52

mircea_popescu

aaaah. the bit is a chinese version of that romanian curse the french speaking chick learned phonetically for her role in occident.

14:53

mircea_popescu

phf ic!

14:55

phf

i have some idea of how to fix this issue though. for example i can treat characters from certain unicode planes (anything higher than latin-1) as grep

14:56

mircea_popescu

i don't really think it's much of an issue altogether, except for the part where it fails to find a line for ascii search.

14:57

phf

yeah, i think that's a bug unrelated to moon language

14:58

mircea_popescu

asciilifeform the principal problem is that no good text formats for video.

14:58

mircea_popescu

where is the vvg!

where was that ascii video thing...

15:08

asciilifeform

the one with 'star wars'

15:09

phf

it funny if you search for star wars ascii telnet second link is youtube

15:09

asciilifeform

format is trivial, just a buncha lines of known length, with ordinary newlines; a frame is simply certain # of'em

15:09

phf

but it's telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

15:10

asciilifeform

appears to work

15:10

phf

also it most definitely uses ansi sequences for redraw and character positioning

in other 1333337lulz, 'Claymore's Dual ETH miner's remote management interface is prone to an unauthenticated remote stack buffer overwrite that can be triggered by simply sending an overly long api request to the management interface resulting in an unbound `(v)sprintf` style buffer overwrite when trying to log to file or console.'
