asciilifeform: trinque: whole problem with unix is that ALL of its abstractions are porous in exactly the way mircea_popescu described
trinque curious why rm does not read a stream of "things upon which to rm" rather than taking as args
mircea_popescu: there IS such a thing as a thought primitive ; and there is such a thing as pseudo-"thought process" to be discounted out of hand for failing to correctly employ the required thought primitives and nothing else.
mircea_popescu: which is why * is broken, because it connotes globbing, and globbing is stupid bullshit, "transform this thing i said into this other thing i meant"
mircea_popescu: because that is why the fucking fs even exists in the first place, to create "list of items same ops run on"
trinque: in the present circumstance to have glob expansion in shell rather than in each command, gotta pass the individual files as args to the command.
asciilifeform: likewise it is screamingly idiotic when '* behaves exactly like find . -name '*.arsefuck' | xargs unless you have >9000 files then fuckyou.jpg'
asciilifeform: and if the system designer did not see it this way, then it follows that he was a tard.
mircea_popescu: that's why the fuck cs is in math dept in the first place ; as opposed to fucking literary criticism

mircea_popescu: and since it's an orcland, the government actually had the audacity to make hiring ilegals A FELONY, while the local farmers can't find farm hands.
mircea_popescu: fwiw romania's been well fucked by the usg pretense in the middle east ; my lawyers report there's hundreds of unemployed, unskilled laborers sitting around the outskirts of towns doing jack shit and slowly boiling to the government-desired rape-and-pilage temperature.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-07#1711376 << i'm very curious where hungary actually lives up to the nationalist pretense of the past decade and tells them where to stuff it.

mircea_popescu: and yes, obviously this arrangement is a perfect match for the usg / its fiat-statist allies in south korea etcetera. because that's exactly what the socialist state proposition is, "we'll be bleeding for as long as we live and attempt to kill everyone before the air runs out".
mircea_popescu: you can pretend not to care, yes, moreso if 0.01 than if 100. but then again, look where "pretending not to care" about the shearing has taken sheep.
mircea_popescu: the numbers also don';t matter. if he drives it up 1.01 instead, he STILL gets to bleed you for the 0.01

mircea_popescu: the difference between altcoin and bcc is that i stopped supporting altcoin after losing some dust ; whereas the idiots are still pushing the dead cat uphill in spiute of losing milions. which is, again, why http://trilema.com/2012/fact-of-the-matter-is-the-infrastructure-was-not-ready/#selection-27.0-53.592 ie you SHOULD NOT give ANY money to children and imbeciles. and that includes governments, which are always and everywh

asciilifeform: you oughta do this nearly always . ( 1 notable exception is ffa or other 'tight' code where you're testing speed, and correctness already known; there -g will give a 10-15x speed penalty )

It turns out that this number was a fraud.
