07:46 spyked lobbes, hey ty!
07:48 spyked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820740 <-- ftr, most of my names point to this address and I expect them to for the foreseeable future. I'll follow in trinque's footsteps and deed it.
07:48 a111 Logged on 2018-06-05 16:37 phf: resolves to 82.79.58.192 for me
07:53 spyked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820744 <-- yes, although I'm personally not convinced one way or the other. my q is, should "allcomers" (e.g. people without WoT presence) even be able to comment? I don't know, maybe the question itself has no merit, mircea_popescu is of course much more qualified than me to establish this.
07:53 a111 Logged on 2018-06-05 16:42 mircea_popescu: spyked, the first portion is interesting imo. why shouldn't anyone be able to live comments ? something in the vein of "if every tree was carved any time anyone on the trail thought about some girl, we'd have toothpick forests" ?
07:57 spyked the question stemmed from "what are valid inputs for blogotron?", which led to "should comments be permitted for anons, or should they be predicated upon identity?". otherwise I very much like the current organization and I believe that venues that don't allow inline commenting (such as thetarpit in its current state) are only "half blogs", not fully.
08:01 spyked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820747 <-- I dun disagree at all. as far as the thought experiment goes, I still wonder, though, whether those edges of productivity follow from *all* the lines of mp-wp code and is more than the sum of each, or whether there's a lot of extra crud in there. perhaps overly naively/boyishly at the time, I started my (still ongoing) experiment the other way around ("what is the minimum number of lines to

08:05 mircea_popescu spyked, you read the cherri&rae dialogue ?
08:05 spyked yeah
08:07 spyked will have to give it a second pass to make some notes, the variety of subjects discussed blew my mind a bit.
08:11 mircea_popescu so my question to you is : should someone who ~doesn't even own a computer~ (because no, her retarded "iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_2 like Mac OS X)" eminently is not a computer, nor anything even remotely LIKE mac os x) be allowed to comment ?
08:12 mircea_popescu should billiardaires even talk to the lowly bank clerks on the internets ? just how haughty shall we get before there's really nothing left to talk about ?
08:13 * spyked sees mircea_popescu's point

08:33 spyked anyway, given my limited experience with wp (nowadays I just lul at the attackers from republic of moldova trying to gain wp-admin access for the old blog), I am ready to admit that mp-wp's may be the optimal permeability of this membrane. I was even tempted to switch to mp-wp, but I'm hoping to see trilema antispam implemented in Lisp at some point in the future.
08:34 spyked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820781 <-- lol, I can't help it: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y03/05a-july-theses.html#selection-384.0-384.1 , http://thetarpit.org/posts/y03/05a-july-theses.html#selection-342.0-342.1 and other places in that piece.

08:52 mircea_popescu (not ~usefully~, obviously. it still runs all the various inca probing bullshit every cycle, of course)
08:59 mircea_popescu spyked, re the other thing, i expect the item can be both massively trimmed and significantly improved still. the discussion was carried in principle ("so manty lines!") not really objectively, "why this exact line for each line". i think it's entirely possible even the final product, as a conceptual ideal, may exceed (reasonable!) expectations of "how long code should be".

09:00 mircea_popescu take the obvious "wtf is with your >80 char lines omfg". well.. php is what's with it. hence the whole "it's a scripting language built atop a webotron, to glue it to a rmdbs, whadda ya want"
09:01 mircea_popescu ~hypertext preprocessor~. wtf are you going to do ? do you want hypertext or don't you ? do you want separable parts or don't you ? it's a triangle, right, a) well specified tasks ; b) separable parts ; c) no glue needed. pick two.

09:02 a111 Logged on 2018-05-04 15:37 asciilifeform: asciilifeform does not say this to raise mircea_popescu's blood pressure, but strictly out of truth.
09:06 spyked mircea_popescu, re. smartphone, everytime I bring the "why use linux shitstack with so many layers of abstraction for mere phone" argument to certain ppl, they're all "oh, but it runs on so many devices". and I guess they're right in a certain way. gotta keep 'em busy, give 'em "choices", or at least the illusion thereof.
09:07 mircea_popescu i dunno that the item has anything to do with linux.
09:07 mircea_popescu by now it's a hoyota, son of used car lot owner built himself a car out of parts.
09:10 spyked afaik ios (the other smartphone os besides android) runs on 1 hardware platform and the os doesn't multitask (or maybe it does in the newer versions? hell if I know). while all other smartphones besides apple's run android, and there's some diversity in the hardware platforms, which is why they based the os on the kernel that "runs on everything".
09:11 mircea_popescu right. i was discussing the former. which, contrary to hopes&aspirations, owns the market.
09:11 spyked the downside is a horrible drain on battery (and there wasn't much of that to go with it in the first place), but eh, they made their choices.
09:13 spyked buuut... yeah, sometimes smartphone os lets user do 2 things at a time: listen to music while instagramming.
09:14 mircea_popescu just like in the old days of dos.

09:25 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, idem.
09:25 asciilifeform why it needs ~own~ ftp server?!
09:25 asciilifeform because we host on winblowz box with no ftp??
09:25 mircea_popescu so you can run it without a ftp server.
09:25 asciilifeform it's outrageous
09:25 mircea_popescu it's what it is.

09:33 a111 Logged on 2018-04-13 16:20 mircea_popescu: spyked how about THIS definition for the operating system : "that set of code that is trusted implicitly". this then makes EVERYTHING on a windows machine operating system, which i contend is right and proper -- the necessary result of opaque monolith systems design is universalization of the os.
09:34 mircea_popescu spyked, there's a reason they put all the blogs on the same one box :D

14:36 lobbesbot asciilifeform: Sent 2 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/lor9x/?raw=true Update on certain cats
14:36 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: ty for the ack
14:42 phf i added a link on patch pages to "split hunks", which allows to render any patch the way mp-wp genesis is being rendered, e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/genesis?inlinep=false
14:45 phf mostly a convenience since <patch name>/hunk/<path of hunk> works for all patches now, e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/genesis/hunk/bitcoin/src/init.cpp

15:02 asciilifeform complete with oddball bathroom sink
15:02 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Also the sink placement
15:03 asciilifeform which chix is that in the coat ?

15:04 asciilifeform aa
15:04 asciilifeform and srsly that's a japanese-sized flat
15:04 BingoBoingo And that's as big as they come before the carve out "bedrooms"
15:04 asciilifeform i think my dorm room at uni was bigger
15:05 asciilifeform does this place come with a net pipe ?
15:05 asciilifeform or will you need a sat dish, or what
15:07 BingoBoingo They have fiber here.
15:07 BingoBoingo https://tienda.antel.com.uy/categoria/internet
15:08 phf that's the cyberpunk future we've always wanted. 2sqm room (with bathroom) and a fat fiber line
15:10 asciilifeform lol
15:11 asciilifeform i was hoping he'd find something that can hold a crew of 2, at least on occasion
15:11 asciilifeform but if this is all that fits in the budget, then so be it
15:22 mod6 what are the rental terms? 1yr contract?
15:22 mod6 (could always find a bigger place later once we're above water)
15:25 BingoBoingo It's a one year contract.
15:27 mod6 Ok, cool.
15:34 BingoBoingo There is a point at which continuing to burn more time on the real estate thing yields diminishing returns. And when the days start getting longer, negative returns.

16:31 phf asciilifeform: yeah, i was going by various spec sites, but i have a dongle that handles that
16:31 asciilifeform phf: i had to go through several, before one worked
16:32 phf afaiu the special baud rate is rk exclusive

19:40 a111 Logged on 2018-06-06 15:37 mircea_popescu: all my experience comes from fucking med students.
19:40 asciilifeform lol
19:40 mircea_popescu they do have tinier snatches than average, i've noticed.
19:41 mircea_popescu some of the microscopy-est clits + clitoral hoods + labia arrangements i ever saw lived between the legs of med students.
19:43 asciilifeform in other noose, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-06#1821018 apparently requires a https://archive.li/9wxqo ( 'partners only' google proprietary dongle ) to enable uart; this, in turn, appears to be a usb-c 'debug accessory mode' magic-voltage set ; and it is deliberately (see below) poorly specced. i dug for the detail, turns out that it is likely being sat on by usg.google et al, because it also enables talking to recent intel iron ro
19:43 a111 Logged on 2018-06-06 17:22 asciilifeform: the schematics whisperer d00d suggested that it also has the uart brought out on hidden pins ; i have a test adapter cable due in this wk that will test this theory
19:43 asciilifeform otkit (r/w memory etc via usb jack)
19:44 asciilifeform ( various whisperings at https://archive.li/lQydM and elsewhere, for the expert entomologist only )
19:46 mircea_popescu heh
19:46 mircea_popescu so "it works until you try to", right.
19:47 Mocky http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-06#1821029 >> i tried your recipe (combination of your 2 recipes) 2 days ago and couldn't get the emerge @world to work to succeed. I didn't report since you mention your missing file and link to Trinque's post

22:36 mircea_popescu spyked, i will have you know that ~all~ the trainee sluts agree -- my version is good, yours isn't. SO THERE!\
22:38 phf asciilifeform: so the idea is to get into that npcx, which is running "chrome OS EC firmware"?

23:57 * asciilifeform bbl.
23:57 phf "Console is enabled; type HELP for help."
23:59 mircea_popescu why not "Console might be enabled; type HELP ME LIZZARD HiTLER for finding out."
