BingoBoingo: lol

BingoBoingo: that's prolly last 1 for a while, it's just about the limit of what can be done with the dentist 35mm film

00:19

( i suspect it aint the best 35mm film either, and the 'monobath' developer worsens the already pretty severe grain.. )

00:21

the win was that it was fast -- no darkroom , expose the little enema-like thing it comes in, then manually masturbate it for min or so, wash, and scan.

Border with Brazil is closed, border with Colombia set to close.

23:08

hey there asciilifeform

23:09

mircea_popescu has spent the past two days @world's largest hotsprings, horseback riding etc, is now looser than an amateur's synapse.

23:09

sounds like a++ day off from us glued-to-terminal snoarpeoples

23:10

*

asciilifeform spend 2d digging in tcc and a (sad) attempt at crystallography

23:10

also guile is an unmitigated (and unmitigatable) piece of shit, if memory serves

23:11

it is ! it's the turd the gimp folx replaced ye olde tinyscheme with

23:11

( tinyscheme also pretty crufty but at least ~small~ )

23:11

pretty sure my gimp runs ye olde scheme not guile.

23:12

well mine does. but i built in 2011

23:12

nfi re nao

23:12

a yeah. this might be ... yeah, 2007 or some shit.

23:12

23:13

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-21#1898554 << afaik was "desired" by the pantsuit core + amateur enablers starting maybe then, but that desire only became factual with 5 branch.

23:13

Logged on 2019-02-21 17:11 asciilifeform: ^ is this troo ? cuz if yes, possibly we're on the 'wrong' gnat..

23:14

this afaik is weaker than concrete, tho.

23:14

mircea_popescu: my dig confirms

23:14

aok.

23:14

did not find any hard-dependency on cpp in 4.9 other than when it builds cpp standard lib

23:14

that has to be there, yeah. might be some flag faggotry tho, i am foggy.

23:15

*

asciilifeform realizes that he never actually tried to build a gcc w/out cppism support. this really gotta be tried

23:15

sure.

23:19

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-21#1898560 << http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22suckless%22 turns out ~little and there's apparently no mention ever on trilema, yet it's firmly classified under cat-v in my head. wtf happened here, did we ever say hi or anything ?

23:19

Logged on 2019-02-21 17:18 bvt: i have also seen a one guy at suckless complaining about this back in the day: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1605/28871.html

23:20

mircea_popescu: iirc 'suckless' == cat-v

23:20

oh is it ?

23:20

was their proj title

23:20

a ok then.

23:20

i was afraid i dropped a thread there for a moment.

23:21

nope, it's the item mircea_popescu did full postmortem on, linked above

23:21

kk

23:21

see, i'm far from that fabled 100% foolproof etc.

23:22

stepped in something awful's wide open jaw with both feet, all i got in return was an "oww!!!" and so on.

23:22

there's really a lengthy list of these, "o noes, someone's fundamentally not as fucked in the head as us ?! O GOD SAVE US FROM SUCH HORRORS!!!"

23:24

one might naively picture heathens would jump at 'i bring martian tech and +9000 strength of will' etc. but nope. 'we built a++ straw plane, cargo when'

23:27

all the way back to fucking 2014.

23:27

actually, do you recall those "business" imbeciles discussing "the superior alternative to phuctor" and "what to do in case of divorce" roth-blabla in the same breath ?

23:27

most recently in july iirc

23:27

'mit phuctor'

23:28

was some other pos with some retard defending it in the usual terms of "not nice words" or some similar bs. aaanyways.

23:29

aa that was in the catv dig

23:30

didn't make it into the piece, but was in the chan

23:30

asciilifeform remembers this purely from head, but prolly there's a log somewhere

23:31

hmmm... i dun think so tbh, was a DIFFERENT set of these equally indistinguishable amateur shitheads.

23:31

hrm. was definitely summer of '17 tho

23:31

#finance or some bs.

23:32

you recall, dude had meltdown over how his brain can't function with "fuckgoats" the string being involved.

23:32

aha!

23:32

anyways.

23:33

asciilifeform recalls also pete_d's attempts to sell a 'rebrand' of fuckgoats somewhere

asciilifeform possibly driven by that exact fox's tail swing.

23:34

freedom fighters, amirite.

23:36

better freedom fight caracas than baltimore, in any case.

23:36

same algo since, when, korean war, they have this 1 broken record.

BingoBoingo heard derp derp invasion 23rd rumors, but... no indications yet

23:46

BingoBoingo: guiado 'requested aid'; maduro banned 'aid' from border; the open q is, will shoot or not

23:47

Derpident also claimed power to order US military action

23:47

But shortly after Bolton started fussing about Nicaragua

23:48

BingoBoingo: supposedly whole usg orchestra, inc rooftop sniper brigade, already in colombia waiting for marching order

23:48

Declared Cuba/Nicaragua/Vzla new axis of "not listening to US"

23:49

wtf even ~is~ in nicaragua other than 'don bigote, no mata el perro!'

23:49

asciilifeform: Artisinal gold mining is a thing in Vzla. Typical haul of an artisan gold op there is 10 grams of gold per man-month

23:50

klondike, eh

23:50

I've been waiting to drop that factlet into a blog, but there it is. One man month of hard if not particularly efficient work ~500-600 a month

23:50

typical ex-sovok chip recycler nets similar

23:50

(without even having to sweat on equator)

23:51

e.g. the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896836 thing, iirc contains no fewer than 3g ~per~

23:51

Logged on 2019-02-14 23:52 asciilifeform: in ru there are some decent microscopists ( not the 1 phf went to, but apparently others. ) for instance, very recently found that К1801 ( sovok 'pdp-11' single-chip ) was ~not~ in fact a photoclone of dec's (only the early '80s demo ver was!) but , turns out, entirely indigenous orc design, with coupla x ~fewer~ transistors and yet faster max clock

23:51

(this is why they're rare -- and not because asciilifeform bought'em all)

23:51

A large part of what makes Vzla relatively VERY rich is... anti-malarials are a relatively recent invention

23:55

But these folks aren't even digging up whole river beds california style yet

23:56

i suppose notion is, that they will soon, for chance at ticket to miami mecca

23:56

and under whip of 'humanitarian experts'
