(trilema) ben_vulpes: xquartz needs some lovin too.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but that box on the table is the thing that produces and signs builds, and when apple says upgrade, it gets upgraded because it's a day to unfuck the toolchain after they break it and some completely unknowable amount of time to reverse engineer whatever the fuck xcode is doing.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no argument there
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lurking assumption is that it is possible to bring sanity to the compilation and signing process.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: am i to reverse engineer which endpoint they want it at every time they upgrade "app uploader" or swizzle the delivery pipeline?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: go, build, sign, get accepted
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and if you think you can do that with not-the-latest-xcode-and-os i have a build here that needs sucking through apple's garden hose
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for the reprehensibly obstinate and misc log readers the only reason one could possibly *need* an apple box were if one came from such a bad life that producing builds for apple's walled garden was a regular requirement
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: has entire gentoo cockpit iirc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: we've disposed of this "laptop" "need" right?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you know that's not how things work
(trilema) ben_vulpes: over eg laptop sleeps
(trilema) ben_vulpes: aaand, for no discernable reason, since the 10.?? -> 10.999 os x upgrade, bringing emacs to the front ROUTINELY results in multi-second beachballs, and emacs is now losing locks to itself
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am grossly familiar with wokeness theatrics
(trilema) ben_vulpes is miserably naive about all forms of spycraft
(trilema) ben_vulpes: in actual defense of the man?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is a 'dry run' in this context?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: would you go so far as to say that he has done you a violence?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: long black hair in front of the eyes and all i imagine
(trilema) ben_vulpes: doubtful, they're all a part of the 'tech scene'

(trilema) ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: gets a bouncer, starts copying lines out of personal logs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i have half a semi going just at the thought of locking up any fraction of the demcratic party
(trilema) ben_vulpes: perhaps he takes pity on the bundies and disbands the BLM
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i don't think trump 1 has the imagination for anything interesting
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that's like trump 3
(trilema) ben_vulpes: naw, the girl is to be commended for her tolerance of and adaptation to all sorts of baby-genic father-driven torture
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: miniature ice-mobiles, bicycles, skateboards and other mother-terrorizing devices may be delivered to <ADDRESS>
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one day later...
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "eh, i'll believe it when i see it ten times."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, el pequeno took his first steps at his one-year birthday/halloween party while i was on the back porch smoking cigarettes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well, using anything other than illustrator for vector work is very stupid for precisely this reason.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "our boxes?"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: from other parts of the room: "i'm sure there's some highfalutin' CS reason why -- "
(trilema) ben_vulpes: NEGLECTING COMPLETELY THE OTHER PROJECT TARGETS
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "o i see you have a target, i'll just swizzle these files around and source-to-source transform all these other files"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: water company showed up the other day to relocate our meter
(trilema) ben_vulpes still having trouble with the gravel driveway thing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no but i also don't call that which isn't a plinth a plinth
(trilema) ben_vulpes: only tangentially relatedly, cheech and chong scrubbed the rape jokes from their classic albums.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "baliff? whack his architect."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: > plinth shop
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'd crucify the architect who tried to tell me that an ionian column could sit aesthetically o 2 inches of plinth.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that is most definitely not a plinth.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: plinths are ~2ft tall
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hold on a goddamn second
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you don't even have a steel work table outside?!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: in any event, the controllable kiln/oven should be achievable.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: such imperium!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and you nignogs don't have cement /driveways/?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: 's how we did the bearing races on the fin can.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if yer really strapped for cash, get a propane "poofer" and a laser thermometer.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: get a temperature controllable oven, start with soft steel and harden it per the kindergarten heat treatment tables
(trilema) ben_vulpes: who is to know
(trilema) ben_vulpes: perhaps giant wooden cog with mega reduction will serve asciilifeform's purposes!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what application, asciilifeform
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no you stop with that
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well, no, and "depends"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what kind of application?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what /are/ you cutting with the laser?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and you're doing this with a laser why?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is that from the warping?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: thin looking stuff
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i was a few centuries off on stills.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and not even the high proof stuff at that.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hence my question!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no, i'd say that "historic drugs" fits quite nicely into the same time window as "gay = only fucks men"
(trilema) ben_vulpes points at the fifth line up
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and you'll say that my cursory research finding that he slept with a few ladies to be entirely wrong?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: qua "men who only have sex with other men"?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i guess the argument kinda falls apart on 'historic' grounds, 'gayness' not being much of a thing pre late 1800s
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what historic drugs are we talking about?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nobody shows up at any doors, sheesh
(trilema) ben_vulpes: numbers, the rest.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: as systems engineer, charges are complex, and 'simple' 'v' that 'doesn't get me that far' gets me pretty far.
