ben_vulpes: when the problem domains are simple, the solution proposed appears to work. in reality, as *tard mgmt demands more features, flexibility, reports, etc, the complexity of maintaining and extending under the frameworkreich becomes more and more costly, a thing not necessarily apparent to anyone who hasn't suffered the saga or who doesn't think in terms of complexity minimization from the get-go.
ben_vulpes: trinque: not triggered, but definitely amused.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: ^^
ben_vulpes: huh. "hoplite brings his own armor" anyways.
ben_vulpes: $s hoplite
ben_vulpes: this is not mircea_popescu's harem where basic mathematics are beaten into slavegirls.
ben_vulpes: student comes, submits, fights for each scrap of knowledge.

ben_vulpes: okay yeah that makes sense.
ben_vulpes smacks self
ben_vulpes: "artisanally hand-carved pcbs!"
ben_vulpes: i still have nfi why you'd design in any way but parametrically.
ben_vulpes: i never ever used anything but geometric constraints when designing parts.
ben_vulpes: what do you need the precision for?
ben_vulpes: my asciilifeform emulator says "because wasted time switching between mouse and spaceball!"
ben_vulpes: (it is a 6-dof input device)
ben_vulpes: it is very well integrated with the major cad packages.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why not use a spaceball?
ben_vulpes: > IS gets squashed
ben_vulpes: > assist iraqi troops
ben_vulpes: > 560 additional troops
ben_vulpes: interesting gedankenexperiment
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: doesn't /affect/ gameplay
ben_vulpes: use sales as feedback
ben_vulpes: chuck tingle makes me want to write an erotica shannonizer
ben_vulpes: trinque: no rush, i've got other irons in the fire that still need pounding.
ben_vulpes: that *does* sound nifty.
ben_vulpes: why do you want this, Apocalyptic ?
ben_vulpes: but yes, old.
ben_vulpes: i probably have it on disk somewhere
ben_vulpes not particularly disposed to write an irc bot either
ben_vulpes: trinque: lowers the energy barrier for me to do the thing mircea_popescu and asciilifeform were talking about
ben_vulpes has a fuzzy memory, is on the road though and not disposed to dig it up
ben_vulpes: trinque: did you ever deed deedbot's source?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: entertained and excited!
ben_vulpes reads thread
ben_vulpes: notbad mod6
ben_vulpes: awkwardly far from all astronomical cycle dates.
ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: well yes, i'm sharing it.
ben_vulpes: i just told him he wasn't drunk yet.
ben_vulpes: i didn't *make* him drink
ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: i did not know that tungsten was psychoactive
ben_vulpes: "PRINCESS BUCKETS!"
ben_vulpes: "another bucket?! what are you a princess?"
ben_vulpes: pulls his head out, whines plaintively, "may i have another bucket please?"
ben_vulpes: two more hours of that, i leave to go toodle around on vehicles on the desert. come back, he's asleep on the couch, head deep in five gallons of orange.
ben_vulpes: i strolled out of my tent at ~9a to him drinking directly from the bottle. said, "i'm drunk! what do you think about that?" "psh, you're nowhere near drunk"
ben_vulpes: i witnesesd a feller at burning man receive the moniker of 'princess buckets' one time.
ben_vulpes: today we learn that mircea_popescu has tiny bukkits
ben_vulpes: gasoline's like 40 Mj/kg
ben_vulpes: "it's BRAIN DAMAGE!!!1"
ben_vulpes: aha yes!
ben_vulpes has not heard the thing since his youth. on vinyl!
ben_vulpes: what, for the novice parents, is the braindamage in cosby's routine?
ben_vulpes: "chocolate cake!"
ben_vulpes: high stair!
ben_vulpes: that's all i'm saying.
ben_vulpes: if it works (and what, the brits can't do anything, clearly), it's the only improvement with legs over the classic rocket.
ben_vulpes: leave atmo, cut over to internal fuel supply.
ben_vulpes: so, keep water from precipitating out of the gas coming in, cool it rapidly by dumping the heat into the h2, react h2 and o2 (and yes, some h2o), you have an air-breathing rocket that (yes, nominally) can operate in atmosphere with out consuming onboard o2 all the way up to mach 5.
ben_vulpes: and so long as there is o2, it *will* burn.
ben_vulpes: keep it from doing that, you have cold, high pressure ambient gas you can dump into a steady state reaction chamber.
ben_vulpes: it wants to freeze over the intercooler hooked to the h2.
ben_vulpes: the only reason is because von braun was a savage.
ben_vulpes: mass in rocket exhaust is a /good thing/ ffs.
ben_vulpes: $google more things under heaven and earth
ben_vulpes: it's internal h2 plus ambient air
ben_vulpes: no silly it's not /water-oxidiser/
ben_vulpes: "horatio"
ben_vulpes: see also peroxide motors
ben_vulpes: srsly this is kindergarten rocket chem
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: turns to steam helps with isp
ben_vulpes: mats: rude
ben_vulpes: add glycol, drop the freezing point.
ben_vulpes: but like cold fusion, railguns keep usg contractors in the procurement pipeline.
ben_vulpes: (less useful because a) drag losses and b) accuracy)
ben_vulpes: ramjet if you want to stay low.
ben_vulpes: the further away your target is, the less useful the railgun and the more useful the classic icbm.
ben_vulpes: drag is proportional to v^2
ben_vulpes: /maybe/
ben_vulpes: the only new part of the whole system is the precooler to take air at mach5 and cool it without frosting everything over.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and how.
ben_vulpes: mats: why would one want an unguided projectile?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: once it leaves compressible atmo, it cuts over to internal o2 supply fed directly into the *same* combustion chambers.
ben_vulpes: the *single best bet* on orbital advances in my lifetime is the mach-5 airbreather.
ben_vulpes: mats: sure, but how do rockets not solve this better and more cheaply
ben_vulpes: bonus, you can point the latter. not so much for either the cannon or railgun.
ben_vulpes: at that point, you may as well save on fab and engineering costs and submerge a hydrogen gun right under the water
ben_vulpes: not to mention the accelerations involved make it more or less entirely impractical for anything other than raw materials.
ben_vulpes to investigate how apple has broken his whitelabeling toolchain. again. still. now.
ben_vulpes: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/07/how_puerto_rico_beat_the_hedge_funds.html << obab gets to claim victory, kicks can down road for successors. ¡sorpresa!

ben_vulpes: and some girls
ben_vulpes: $google peter pan syndrome
ben_vulpes: even more lulzily, asciilifeform implies /me/ to be a grown man
ben_vulpes: lol, asciilifeform imagines i work with adults

ben_vulpes: yes, the thing wants 700 on users google accounts
ben_vulpes: trinque: the *other* thing it's good for is harvesting "all-permission" google federated logins
ben_vulpes: it overlays a shitty 3d pokemodel over the video input
ben_vulpes: "augmented reality" my left fucking testicle.
ben_vulpes: trinque: nah, it's to get the millenials looking at something other than how easily cops are killed when they step out in public
ben_vulpes: what the ever loving f
ben_vulpes: eg wandering about and encountering pokemon and trainers to battle

ben_vulpes: it is a lovely little cottage.
ben_vulpes: vinyl, perhaps a bit mean-spirited.
ben_vulpes: rented, vinyl cabin in forest.
ben_vulpes: i'm not living in my domes yet.
ben_vulpes: metaphorical vinyl!
ben_vulpes: because then hole in rental environmental envelope, pissed off landlord, and no shelf!
ben_vulpes: part of my job is not accidentally ripping the vinyl apart with 1940s tools
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: neither you nor i live in their works.
ben_vulpes: and the job is sometimes not simply sinking holes.
ben_vulpes: stuff and nonsense. tool is electrical motor and electricity.
ben_vulpes: flexible can be fragile
ben_vulpes: excellent for sinking a million holes. less useful for sinking holes and immediately filling them with screws.
ben_vulpes: just infrequently used.
ben_vulpes: i also have one of the 40s monsters!
ben_vulpes: let me say then that my screw gun drills holes.
ben_vulpes: 2006 18V ryobi.
ben_vulpes: my drill does both quite handily.
ben_vulpes: wide wide world of materials.
ben_vulpes: to avoid driving the screw too far into whatever.
ben_vulpes has nfi how it actually works
ben_vulpes: stops the drill action?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i really hate drills that don't apply the brake when i release the trigger
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ask Joshua-I
ben_vulpes: pick either malice or incompetence
ben_vulpes: 'twas hosted at zher domain
ben_vulpes: or is that a thing that consumers have cum to buttsecks

ben_vulpes: oh yeah
ben_vulpes: phf: you square
ben_vulpes: anyways, subject of isotropically distributed CF, i don't think we've don "carbon fiber forging" or more accurately described "injection-molded CF": http://www.quantumcomposites.com/pdf/papers/2011-ASC-montreal-forged-suspens.pdf
ben_vulpes: not actually a fence i pissed on myself.
ben_vulpes: that is before he lights the cf panels aflame with current.
ben_vulpes: to the mechanical engineer, an insulator is just a resistor with a high ohmic value.
ben_vulpes: but the core element was "cf is a resistor it turns out!"
ben_vulpes: i forget the specific details of what caused the fire i saw.
ben_vulpes: sure. does imply a closed circuit. eg someone else doing the same thing elsewhere
ben_vulpes: heats up, catches fire.
ben_vulpes: whereas sheet cf is simply high resistance once you scratch through the epoxy and touch some carbon
ben_vulpes: well randomly distributed means that there's not quite as much surface area of c/c in the matrix
ben_vulpes: anyways, shame about the brits. they once made wonders like the black arrow.
ben_vulpes: or or or lazily clipped something to the frame figuring "hey, it's plastic-y, should be insulative."
ben_vulpes: i'm going to be someone tried to ground to the frame.
ben_vulpes: > electrical fire
ben_vulpes: > car bon fibre cored sandwich materials for all structural elements
ben_vulpes: thanks pankkake
ben_vulpes: nevermind that it doesn't do *anything* for api discovery. utility seems limited to fuzzy method name completion.
ben_vulpes: "you just don't know how to use it!"
ben_vulpes: breaks 95% of the time.
ben_vulpes: "intellisense!!1"

ben_vulpes: why's that photo of me kissing some other girl is what i want to know
ben_vulpes: like which babe was that? the one who is in la now or the one coming back from la or the one who won't shut up about how miserable the guys in la and portland are?

ben_vulpes: double-sadly, it's not a particularly stirring anthem either.
ben_vulpes: sadly, not really.
ben_vulpes: then they decided they needed to sing 'oh canada' to make amends to themselves
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: last year this time i had an entire beach of canadians singing poorly but enthusiastically the same
