v_diddy: no this was something different
v_diddy: "5k bonus pool cash, divvied up amongst ye, or 5k of lotto tickets (purchased at my convenience store) divvied up amongst ye"
v_diddy: trinque: man can i get $legendaryshitshow1 and $...2 from that guy yet?
trinque: people still work for him?
v_diddy: anyways, at a high level, one aspect of the wager i'm making here is that if a moron like me can with dilligence and self-discipline figure out how to turn a dollar into a buck twenty, if i bring the discipline and insist on the dilligence, i oughta be able to crap out at least one kid that can support me through $enddayz when my meatwot is all dead and dried up
v_diddy: mircea_popescu: i found your next joinpartspamtarget
mircea_popescu: for crying out loud.

v_diddy: the dumb thing would be for the petition initiator, right?
mircea_popescu: obama bin bimbo
v_diddy: and to set your own bar and then fail to jump it?
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how dumb women work.
trinque: so this petition gets "upboated" or w/e they called it here, and Obama is supposed to tell him "nuh uh"
v_diddy: oh this is an obab product

v_diddy: too funny
mircea_popescu: si el presente es de lucha, el futuro es nuestro!
asciilifeform: lulz from tlp's commentz:
asciilifeform: 'In a little less than four decades, college tuition has risen 1400%. Housing costs have gone up 3100%. Gasoline has increased 1800%. Wages, on the other hand, have gone up 322%. The average increase in the three areas I have mentioned comes to 20 times. If income had kept pace with expenses, and if I were earning an amount equivalent to what my father earned in the 1960s, I would be making over one million dollars a year.'
asciilifeform: hay mas futuro, indeed.
BingoBoingo: <v_diddy> really? scratch-offs are provably trustable now? << Even more of a Gamble in Illinois. Prize over $600, get paid maybe nevar.
mircea_popescu: hay mas futuro, pero no para todos.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure that was al schwart's usenet sig for a while
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem is this : out of a billion people, his father in 1960 was part of a group of a million, and the other 999 million were more than happy to be coolies. today, the author is part of the group of the useless.
mircea_popescu: i would be very thankful he makes > 1k a year.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a pauper's burial costs 5x this in usa.
asciilifeform: so it will have to be soap.

asciilifeform recalls the tale of dog-sized garbage disposals in a certain lab
v_diddy: mircea_popescu: re "powerful men behaving badly" is this symmetric with "powerful women behaving badly"?
mircea_popescu: can powerful women behave badly ?
mircea_popescu: take a moment and give me a scenario.
asciilifeform: what's this even mean
v_diddy: can you give me a scenario of a powerful man behaving badly?
mircea_popescu: yes. the original one : you have to put a golden bubble around your kid's neck so powerful man behaving badly knows to rape some other kid in the gaggle of kids your kid's playing with.
mircea_popescu: what's she gonna do, suck them ALL off ?
asciilifeform: if it's golden, the fella will just steal it. gotta be trotyl bubble..
v_diddy: asciilifeform: motorbikenuke!
mircea_popescu: fun fact : my latest piece, 10101 words.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't a problem at the time, somehow.
mircea_popescu: (the somehow is explained in the anonimity article)
v_diddy gives up now

punkman: asciilifeform: a tenured prof is prolly the closest thing that presently exists in the western world to ~titled nobility~ << I don't buy it. Back when tenure was a thing, they wanted to keep professors around until parts started falling off. Now there's an endless stream of "professors", and gotta hire them so they can say "our PHDs get jobs"
asciilifeform: punkman: where i live, tenure is still a thing. in that the courts have held it to be a perverse kind of nontransferable property interest
asciilifeform: quite like nobility in the old days
v_diddy: tenured professors can kill with impunity?
asciilifeform: v_diddy: 'noble' meant very different things in different places.
punkman: (kill == bad grades)
asciilifeform: e.g., poland, where a good 7-10% of the place were, nominally, 'szlachta'

BingoBoingo: !up Chameleous
mircea_popescu: " If you wanted to learn, you headed towards where the books were and the people who could read them and that meant the great universities like Paris and Oxford."
mircea_popescu: it meant paris. what the fuck is this "oxford"
mircea_popescu: derpy brits keep trying to retcon their insignificant island into things.
punkman: mircea_popescu: oxford was never great?
mircea_popescu: the thesis was whether oxford was there in the original wot. it was not.
mircea_popescu: at the time the paris university was starting the entire university thing, the king of france wouldn't have traded a middling french province for all of england ; which also he didn't.
mircea_popescu: at the time, the english were exactly like the 1600s scots (see their darien gap adventure). so they copied the bitcoin out of some idle kids and some peasants, which ended kloinking each other in the head.
mircea_popescu: three centuries later the dutch conquered england, moved their fleet there and so yes oxford eventually flourished. but the claim that it was "there in the 13th century" is spurious.
mircea_popescu: as a ready shorthand, remember that in 1400 the entire material production of the entire archipelago was worth about the same as that of one neighbourhood in milan.
punkman: i see. pretty dense history lesson there
mircea_popescu: the whole fantasy is very cs-scientist level of naive. read villon's testament - it should make it very plain what the point of university life was cca 1500 : THAT YOU COULD WALK IT.
mircea_popescu: everyone had one, and you could walk from basel to luxembourg.
mircea_popescu: this was immense - at the time a peasant who wanted to move, provided he somehow managed, had to fucking drag his entire possessions, on a rug. no wheels even, because too fucking techy for a peasant.
mircea_popescu: whereas the vagabond could carry all his possessions in his head!
mircea_popescu: THIS is why peasant chicks wistfully wisted for l'etudiant. because it is fucking fascinating, you are seriously telling me you can ~just go~ ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: how do you do that from oxford, you swim the channel or something ?
mircea_popescu: england wasn't part of the party, not at that time.

asciilifeform: where do i meet all of these mythical people who own a computer, use gpg, but do not know enough english to operate it without this garbage ?
asciilifeform: !up punkman
punkman: asciilifeform: is that because of the LC_ALL=C in vdiff?
asciilifeform: no such thing in there
asciilifeform: but more generally, unix diff is NOT FOR BINARIES
asciilifeform: ('binary' for n00bz is a file containing so much as one octet with its eighth bit set)
asciilifeform: funny how we keep having this thread.
punkman: dunno, I have a lot of code with unicode strings/comments
asciilifeform: that you wrote ?
punkman: sure
jurov: why shouldn't i be able to diff files with extended characters?
asciilifeform: jurov: there are specially-made tools for this (see the screenshots on mircea_popescu's www in the phuctor 3-parter article re: what i used)
phf: plan9's diff handles utf-8, the implicit decision here is that we're sticking to us-ascii
asciilifeform: it is what civilized people use when they program a computer.
punkman: also, wasn't LC_ALL=C needed for consistent ordering in diffs? I have it in mine
asciilifeform: punkman: i specifically did not include it in my signed copy of 'vdiff' because it is a workaround for people with broken boxes.
jurov: i want diff to be usable for any text files, not just code
asciilifeform: layering workarounds into the canon is precisely how we ended up with ball of shit.
jurov: and my code inevitably contains some localized strings
jurov: what workarounds?
asciilifeform: see, if symbolics corp. had won the war and the notion of 'character' was not braindamagedly bound to 'octet' - we would not be having this conversation.
asciilifeform: but it appears that all of the magic in the world did not suffice to retrofit a non-retarded notion of text onto unix
jurov: so? it is now bound to longint with special encoding
jurov: you know text was retarded from the very beginning
asciilifeform: jurov: witness what unix proggies that try to be 'special encoding'-aware look like.
asciilifeform: they look like garbage.
jurov: it was defined as "what fits into gets buffer
asciilifeform: trailing multimegabyte mystery libs
jurov: i understand but it does not mean it must be done that way
asciilifeform: it goes to the heart of how unix works
asciilifeform: streams operate bytewise
asciilifeform: with no notion of structure.
phf: jurov: problem is that there's no such thing as "any text file". a text file necessarily has an encoding, and your options are either standardize on an encoding (the way plan9 did it, with going all utf-8) or else carry massive machinery for supporting a range of encodings from utf-8 to shiftjis
asciilifeform: it is quite basic to the concept, to the extent there ever was a concept behind it.
asciilifeform: phf: even utf8 is a non-solution because there remain multiple glyph mappings
asciilifeform: and the variadic encoding is intrinsically gnarly
asciilifeform: now, a system with built-in notion of bignums (variable-length integers), e.g., lispm, does not suffer from any of this gnarl.
asciilifeform: but we haven't such a thing.
phf: utf-8 is a solution if you're ok iwth variadic encoding (though i've read many convincing arguments that utf-8 is new jersey brain dead), but the main issue is that full support of unicode is impossible withtout massive amounts of machinery. and you're going to butt head against the internal storage format and all the varieities of ucs-*, and ~then~ you're going to run into issues of normalization and multiple mappings and such
jurov: sigh. code to convert utf8 stream to wide char and back is 50 lines. with diff, one can safely ignore everything else, other encoding, nat'l sorting, normalized/unnormalized chars, etc.
jurov: no need to pull huge libs
asciilifeform: wide chars break unix.
asciilifeform: sorry. i did not invent unix
jurov: unix is broken by design
asciilifeform: no shit.
asciilifeform: as a native of what latinate folks regard as likewise a 'hieroglyphs' language, i STILL favour the abolition of 'hieroglyphs display on EVERY box'
asciilifeform: because it is inevitably a clusterfuck of complexity
asciilifeform: i favour the old msdos solution instead
jurov: well, you're bound to see your software broken by people who don't agree with you then
phf: jurov: i'm actually just trying to bridge your position and ascii's since i'm pretty indifferent personally to outcome of the decision. i used to latex by typing funny us-ascii combinations to produce cyrillic metafont renderings, and i also am intimately familiar with what's involved in support "other encoding, nat'l sorting, normalized/unnormalized chars", and it's a pita.
jurov: msdos code pages? srs?
asciilifeform: say jurov gotta see Žižek printed correctly
jurov: not just printed. i want to see diff working over it
jurov: and it is not so complicated as you paint it
asciilifeform: so he has a different set of glyphs above 0x80
asciilifeform: and i have another.
asciilifeform: jurov: the hard part is not diffing (diff readily diffs binaries)
asciilifeform: the hard part is printing.
asciilifeform: and parsing.
jurov: why?
jurov: printing is not your problem
jurov: and in any other cases where you don't have to choose exact glyph printed, you can ignore 99% of unicode spec
asciilifeform: jurov: go and find the src for gnu diff (it is in the logs) and see how much of the bulk and library load garbage is on account of non-latin.
jurov: because they opted to do other encodings, nat'l sorting, normalized/unnormalized chars, etc.
asciilifeform: jurov: so whatchawaiting for, write us a sane diff that behaves sanely on a typical unix box ?
jurov: they can be ignored.. and you supposedly ignore this argument :(
jurov: oh it won't behave sanely to your standars, anyway
asciilifeform: why not ?
jurov: "the variadic encoding is intrinsically gnarly" etc.
asciilifeform: it is a severe impedance mismatch with the unix philosophy.
asciilifeform: the merits of which are debatable, but a pure unix is a legitimate animal
asciilifeform: while a unix with weird shit hanging off the side is not a woman, but a bloke with cock lopped off
asciilifeform: jurov: do you own a copy of the lions book ?
kakobrekla: more like a woman with strap on
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 02:38:31; asciilifeform: othernubs`: see ubiquitous 'lions book' that we're imitating: http://v6.cuzuco.com/v6.pdf
asciilifeform: ever wonder what is all of this RUBBISH that is in a typical unix that ISN'T found in the lions book ?
jurov: you'er basically insisting that anyone who wants to do 8bit stuff in unix should sit themselves on a stake instead, or resort to ms-dos style wankery
asciilifeform: not 8-bit stuff, jurov. varidic int stuff.
asciilifeform: *variadic
asciilifeform: they break streams! srsly
asciilifeform: even something like character count is now O(N) !
asciilifeform: but aside from this, it makes for 10-20x the lines of code for me to read.
asciilifeform: and 10-20x as many gnarly crevices in which to hide off-by-ones, etc
jurov: that shitgnomes use variadic encoding as a means to append bloat is not failure of said encoding. they'd find another outlet easily
jurov: like the msdos cases, 8bit streams were preserver, but the rest was utter mess
phf: jurov: variadic anywhere in your string handling machinery means that you no longer have a meaningful concept of string, i.e. nth printable character is an nth object in array, instead everything that you manipulate is a stream with a state machine attached. be that utf-8 at the encoding level, or ucs-4 at the storage level which brings in surrogates and supplementary characters

jurov: phf i proposed just ignore them
phf: a typical solution is then, like you said, ignore 90% of unicode standard, which means that, instead of having a clean model to work with, you have a c++ solution of "we support this particular subset of c++, because the other parts we think are braindead"
jurov: nope
jurov: diff would compare just the entities and would expect normalized both inputs the same way
jurov: the normalization, sorting, etc. would be done by other tool
phf: oh, see..
jurov: so diff would stay simple
phf: i think the argument against that is that ascii is trying to build a b-a system starting with small tools out. if you're claiming to support unicode in your diff, that necessarily means that "done by other tool" is automatically included in the scope of future b-a work
jurov: and "concept of string".. something has to give, in this case "string"===="byte array"
punkman: diff works fine with utf-8 documents, doesn't it?
jurov: punkman: yes because there's whole unicode machinery implemented which ppl rightfully abhor
jurov: btw, that "string" = "byte array" thing, specifically people who like to do pointer arithmetic around it caused enough grief i won't miss it at all
jurov: *every* time i did anything nontrivial with #include <string.h> it ended up by drawing stuff on paper
phf: jurov: my personal concern is not "byte array" equivalency, but "object in array"
phf: a=['e', '´'] vs b=['é']. a[0] != b[0]
jurov: that's the braindamaged part, which should be dealt separately
jurov: and such tgins existed before, consider a="\t" vs b=" "
jurov: *things
phf: wut
jurov: you're expected to make it consistent before passing in to diff
jurov: or use "ignore whitespaces" kludge
jurov: same with normalization
jurov: instead of adding kludge to diff, be it extra step
phf: but i'm not talking about diff specifically, i'm saying that whatever decissions are being made about diff now are going to influence the kind of work we'll have to do in the future
phf: some hypothetical b-a os and internal consistency of the whole model. if you say "we support utf-8" here, you're also saying "we support unicode x.y" everywhere
jurov: otherwise you have to keep stuff 8-bit clean throughout, is that better?

punkman: there is no unicode machinery in diff
phf: jurov: so did i, and i appreciate utf-8 in my music selection or random durp i download from the internet. i wouldn't care if there's some frequent surrogate issue with track file names, but i do care that i can't have a professional tool where that sort of questions have predictable, if not necessarily easy and fun answers

asciilifeform: punkman: it could work if no one were to ever use anything else. but the distinction between 'this is a binary blob and is to be cut into octets' vs 'this is a text blob and is to be cut into words' would remain
punkman: why does diff need to know about words?
asciilifeform: by 'words' i meant uint16_t's
punkman: my guess is it doesn't work with utf16 because it can't find linebreaks
asciilifeform: jurov: a good chunk of that complexity is on account of O(N) operations on strings made necessary by variads
asciilifeform: i suppose this is not a bad time for one of my usual batshit monologues:
jurov: can you point me to a line number? i fail to see it there
asciilifeform: why do you think no one has to date succeeded in 'bonfire of the unix' ?

asciilifeform: every time you stick in the knife, somebody says 'NOOOOOO! this is NECESSARY complexity...!'
asciilifeform: 'I'M JWZ AND I JUST WANT SHIT TO WURK!'
jurov: would bitcoin run on the lions book system?

asciilifeform is a 2-pass compiler apparently
mircea_popescu: explain this to me. what the fuck is a "sane notion of text" ?
mircea_popescu: just because you can elegantly package idiocy in sexpr does not alter what text is
mircea_popescu: and just because you can't see where this problem breaks shit down from where you sit doesn't mean it's not gonna. it will.

mircea_popescu: this is entirely beyond the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: a badly defined notion CAN NEVER fit well into a machine
mircea_popescu: no matter how elegant the pretense can be made to appear.
mircea_popescu: jurov da fuck is "ignore whitespaces" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'text' is merely a subprogram for a program that displays glyphs. any other definition is braindamaged and will have to be paid for, again and again, until replaced with a sane one.
mircea_popescu: and i will ritously say this is americanism at its finest. "oh, i like this girl, what need of her fambly ? we'll just live together under a blanked of sky, alone, like those two kids in the chinese myth!".

asciilifeform knows about j and v/u
mircea_popescu: what shall we do ;/
