ben_vulpes: > no backups
ben_vulpes: the no backups thing is ultralarious
ben_vulpes: they may change their mind, you see.
ben_vulpes: well, at this time!
ben_vulpes: tis a marvel
ben_vulpes: right?
ben_vulpes: there's also lockheed martin for a notbad bundle and zero risk
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: heh
ben_vulpes: unfortunately, because it's in canada (and this is in no way different from the burn) there are no firearms to discharge irresponsibly
ben_vulpes: hah perhaps five?!
ben_vulpes: is now in year 4 of celebrations
ben_vulpes: my multiple-week-summer-vacation is now to a house on the sound side of vancouver island where we play music extremely loudly eat all sorts of interesting things and motor about on each others motorthingers
ben_vulpes: i just lost patience with other people's bullshit
ben_vulpes: phf: i dun really 'burn' anymore
ben_vulpes: but i do like my summer lake stop
ben_vulpes: more like 10
ben_vulpes: oh it ain't 35 hours at all
ben_vulpes: no, one drives it down
ben_vulpes: just looks like a decommissioned avis bus with a platform on top during the rainy parts of the year
ben_vulpes: one bus is fully collapsible
ben_vulpes: phf: bless the borg
ben_vulpes: THE BESTEST RIGS
ben_vulpes: in big hulking slow gas guzzling rigs
ben_vulpes: 35 ish hours?
ben_vulpes: that capital is recoupable yo
ben_vulpes: i think that's why i like working on the mvs
ben_vulpes: not that any bolt is reusable after that kind of fire tho
ben_vulpes: i learned on the mutant vehicles before doing any pyreworks, so have a built-in preference for reusable steel stuffs
ben_vulpes: factors of safety come in many flavors
ben_vulpes: pff if you're a girl
ben_vulpes: mnah, mortise and tenon has the beam itself shaped into tongues and grooves to sit into itself
ben_vulpes: at right angles
ben_vulpes: each beam has 2 bolts through it
ben_vulpes: but it is rigid as *fuck*
ben_vulpes: i swear i didn't invent this one!
ben_vulpes: i'm trying to dig up the original source of this design and completely failing
ben_vulpes: the design was 3 bolts through 3 beams at each intersection point
ben_vulpes: phf: naw i mean like overtorquing and wallowing out a destructive fastener hole.
ben_vulpes: or perhaps some do, i never got to party with the 3lite sillicon valley crowd
ben_vulpes: one does not haul a thing to the playa unfurled.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: perhaps, but my pyres held numerous people and were assemblableable by noobs on drugs with a minimum of oversight.
ben_vulpes: vibration drops your axial friction, and to a degree your planar friction.
ben_vulpes: kinda like the "don't break and turn" at the same time mantra.
ben_vulpes: useful when you have a nut on the far side. the hammer helps to overcome static friction on the bolt/nut planes, thereby letting you twist the bolt a little further.
ben_vulpes: it is perhaps forgivable if you Swear to God to not back the lag bolt out and ever use the hole for anything ever again, but that is straight up dangerous because you cannot make guarantees about who will do what with your holes out of your sight.
ben_vulpes: do not impact driver your destructive fasteners.
ben_vulpes: 2020 something something egalitarian treatment of UCI nodes
ben_vulpes: 2016, "put moxie marlinspike in gossipd!"
ben_vulpes: 20-something, "put wifi in the cardano!"
ben_vulpes: storage is a consumable and you...mk.
ben_vulpes: where hdd...rots slower?
ben_vulpes: sure, but ssd sits, rots.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why do you dislike the plates so much?
ben_vulpes: or 'excavator' -- with treads and arm and bucket?
ben_vulpes: figure out? were controls marvelously different from controls of other motorized things?
ben_vulpes: what halfway curious kid hasn't climed all over an excavator
ben_vulpes: "might be interesting to look at" as a legal problem cracked me up when i first learned of it
ben_vulpes: path there will be bumpy for folks. in the above and other ways.
ben_vulpes: anyways there's a whole infection to deploy between today and a world of impoverished fiatcorps.
ben_vulpes: now i need a sophistry gas mask
ben_vulpes not discussing asciilifeforms
ben_vulpes: who knows how many knight capitals are waiting.
ben_vulpes: point i was seeking to make is that as much as usians like to bitch about cost of health insurance and what it doesn't cover, they have no idea what pain is lurking in the near future
ben_vulpes: that some can afford to live and some mustest die
ben_vulpes: no actually.
ben_vulpes: if it leaves me eating dust and my children picking pockets i will go to the street gladly having seen it
ben_vulpes: oh i am waiting for the great implosion of unwrangleable complexity
ben_vulpes: the windows shop approach is not at all bad from a resourcing perspective. 'software is complicated and sucks and we need a budget for maintaining ours. may as well just pick technologies we can staff for 60k/yr/butt and allocate integer butts.'
ben_vulpes: americans think /healthcare/ is going to bury them in costs. they have no idea what the maintenance cost of the past 2 decades is going to be. what a burden poorly written software is on a business.
ben_vulpes: yeah but more like diesel engine and less like mortgage origination
ben_vulpes: man the 'not quite emacs' keybindings in weechat are killing me
ben_vulpes: complexity in software, that is
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480694 << another take on this: the only constraint on complexity is design and discipline.
ben_vulpes: i'm a peripherial acquaintance with another cult that occasionally writes, say, templating languages in c. for use from c.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480691 << /me squints and points at the funny frenchman
ben_vulpes: rails webshites have 10x the complexity for 1.1x the 'features'
ben_vulpes: how can the game dynamics produce any other result?
ben_vulpes: dude there is no head to the hydra
ben_vulpes: each single breaking change was the result of an entirely wankatronic 'upgrade' to the compressor lib to take more dependencies on more stupid django internals
ben_vulpes: i actually had to walk django-compressor backwards through its released versions, something like 3 whole major releases just to get it to work with the django 1.3.5 that this site needed
ben_vulpes: *tearing noises as /me excises more sillicon valley horseshit from client stacks, fixes all problems that had previously been papered over with docker, and deploys to fresh ubuntu 14.04*
ben_vulpes: i wanted that old ubuntu for a motherfucking reason
ben_vulpes: bitch are you /serious/
ben_vulpes: i went to upgrade a docker installation and they pulled this gorgeous trick where they actually deny access to repos based on docker client version
ben_vulpes: oh it routinely fails to be useful to old installs
ben_vulpes: no, but do you know what i'm going to do? buy a fucking laptop engrave your company's name on it charge you for it install your shit on it and keep it.
ben_vulpes: and you raise the issue with railsfolk of standing and the response is almost always "yow. that sucks. have you tried docker?"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "as it always is, pleb!"
ben_vulpes: the publically available toolchain is ~worthless.
ben_vulpes: yeah it's fucking miserable.
ben_vulpes: "sanity" roflffufozlzozfl
ben_vulpes: meanwhile i need to boot rails app X running ruby version Y with subtly different deps from rails app Z running ruby version Q in about five minutes.
ben_vulpes: "oh well i usually just work on one thing for 9-18 months at a stretch, jump to a new job and then wipe the entire install after a week of tearing my hair out"
ben_vulpes: it's pretty classic response from experienced ruby folks
ben_vulpes: and how do you shuffle between ruby projects with wildly different dependencies?
ben_vulpes: "oh just" hose your box in a million interesting ways
ben_vulpes: probably because you figured out how it worked before those became the hot new 'right' way to do things
ben_vulpes: davout plays rails without rbenv?
ben_vulpes: and the shims shitshow
ben_vulpes: i'm talking chruby rbenv and friends
ben_vulpes: what, all of the ruby install?
ben_vulpes: is it not gloriously retarded.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: have you tried to run down "best practices" wrt installing ruby and rails on a macintosh?
ben_vulpes: because wtf managing source and packages is hard or what was it
ben_vulpes: and burgeoningly the go environment as well
ben_vulpes: the whole railsvironment
ben_vulpes: docker adoption is largely driven by people who can't get it to work on their workstations
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: shipping vms around is already sop with these shitheads
ben_vulpes: always so much fun
ben_vulpes: nokogiri
ben_vulpes: ho ho ho ho ho

ben_vulpes: have a pineapple
ben_vulpes: why would i give a shit about the bitterness of a cure for a made up ailment i ask you
ben_vulpes: yeah cuz saliency dun bear or something
ben_vulpes: not my fault you can't remember what you said two minutes ago
ben_vulpes: i hope i don't taste like blueberries, and further how would you know?!
ben_vulpes: bitter?
ben_vulpes: generic 'i dun wanna work' excuse.
ben_vulpes: "you better tell me you have the shits, because that excuse is completely unacceptable."
ben_vulpes: then "omg tensions were so high yesterday i don't want to come in"
ben_vulpes: show up and start in with the unfounded ideas.
ben_vulpes: the rest have never had the autonomy over any scope to know how much better life is under a good master.
ben_vulpes: one in a fucking million, maybe.
ben_vulpes: and others with aspirations of relevance and no historical view
ben_vulpes: by even dumber and poorer 'j-skool' grads
ben_vulpes: but the kill -- fresh
ben_vulpes: yes the vendetta is old
ben_vulpes: the bankrupting part is new to me
ben_vulpes: ahaha so thiel pulled it off?
ben_vulpes: i was just looking at fuel consumption as an upper bound
ben_vulpes: oh that's an interesting approach
ben_vulpes: estimating 500 gal tank capacity
ben_vulpes: 88 ft^3/hr?
ben_vulpes: so triggered
ben_vulpes: triggered me
ben_vulpes: > tmsr is making its own docker
ben_vulpes: davout: triggered
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: well megawatt lifestyle in survival mode
ben_vulpes: what is really at issue here is one's connectivity to the bitcoin network. so yes, power. also, shortwave.
ben_vulpes: either provision for your "megawatt standard lifestyle" or...scramble around unplugging things to extend the tiny window before your node goes offline completely.
ben_vulpes: either you can depend on the mains or you can't. and they're not getting better in NA.
ben_vulpes: the ups is just supposed to be a bridge to the gennie.
ben_vulpes: (within operating envelope)
ben_vulpes: 'power supply' to me means i dial a voltage and it holds it to a hundredth of a volt.
ben_vulpes: no idea
ben_vulpes: heh american "engineering rounding error"
ben_vulpes: i doubt a binary-only 'bitcoinalike' would fly even were it wot-o-genic
ben_vulpes: p much just the value of the tokens neh
ben_vulpes: "what is the value of owning source code for a token system that everyone else must have a copy of in order to play?"
ben_vulpes: yeah, that's not terrifically well thought-out.
ben_vulpes: "intellectual property"?
ben_vulpes: 22-year olds from ca etc, "who the fuck are these kids"
ben_vulpes: "no ma, we were just out camping and shooting at a quarry all weekend"
ben_vulpes: so much hilarious entertaining trouble
ben_vulpes: oh man and the rave/burning man scene
ben_vulpes: graph was so delightfully walkable
ben_vulpes: approx *all* cute chicks at the local public schools had ljs
ben_vulpes: ahaha i had so much fun with lj
ben_vulpes: meanwhile france is usg because if yer not with us yer against us (tm) (r) ?
ben_vulpes: yeah, i recall
ben_vulpes: still gotta trick me into decrypting your payloads
ben_vulpes: "or from 30cm away through a plain mobile phone placed next to the computer" ahaha airgap amirite
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: some java codegen thinger the taler guy wrote a while ago
ben_vulpes: " The Runabout uses reflection to find visit methods. But instead of invoking the visit methods with reflection, the Runabout uses dynamic code generation to create code at run-time that will invoke the appropriate visit method." grothoff is just full of good ideas
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-01#1258074 << every six month hard fork killed monero iirc
ben_vulpes: neat little distro asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: nifty asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: freeware*
ben_vulpes: somewhat less bad, i use it, find it somewhere on the freeshare shit spectrum
ben_vulpes: worst case scenario /i never use it/
ben_vulpes: someone made a cool thing that appeals to certain of my perversities, so i throw the fellow a bone. bonus points, i can write toys for my own phone without having to retch about obj-c or swift constantly, or use one of the eldritch js horrors
ben_vulpes: i am likely going to buy a license because what, i pay half that per year per staff member just to derp on ios shits with some modicum less of friction
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475434 << this is actually very interesting
ben_vulpes: blessed be those who port c to php
ben_vulpes: the roadside shrine of phpcrypto
ben_vulpes: holy fucknuggets
ben_vulpes: implications of clozure cl being licensed under apache 2.0
ben_vulpes: reading this incorrectly?
ben_vulpes: am i...no?
ben_vulpes: but i do not know how apache 2 plays into it
ben_vulpes: my guess is clozure
ben_vulpes: well yes
ben_vulpes: phf, asciilifeform: any experience with "mocl"?
ben_vulpes: the mysteries this thing turns up
ben_vulpes: tin cock!
ben_vulpes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIh8L59sd30 << for mircea_popescu and asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: due to r/w speed iirc?
ben_vulpes: nifty indeed
ben_vulpes: yeah, herp.
ben_vulpes: because root partition should be read only.
ben_vulpes: and it has aux storage for whatever else, yes?
ben_vulpes: i don't know much about computers, less about tiny things, but this is the segment of memory that holds the thing's os, yes?
ben_vulpes: that's pretty funny.
ben_vulpes: d'aww
ben_vulpes: awesome!
ben_vulpes: neat find asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: but good morning all
ben_vulpes: pretty weak output
ben_vulpes: aight maybe some naggum as well. but there are extended discussions of political time in the logs.
ben_vulpes: no, logz.
ben_vulpes: *million yard stare*
ben_vulpes: pm physically recoils, "jesus i didn't even think about that"
ben_vulpes: "much less figure out how daylight savings time factors into the problem. and how in which timezone."
ben_vulpes: pm winces
ben_vulpes: "because i do not have time before our delivery deadline to figure out the millisecond offset between utc and n number of other timezones, depending on how thoroughly we want to test this."
ben_vulpes: said something along the lines of "and i have completely punted on the issue of testing whether or not events happen in the right timezone for the user. the testing strategy is to set the user tz to utc, the system tz to utc, and make assertions about when events fire."
ben_vulpes: i was discussing implementation minutae of a timing project with my pm today
ben_vulpes: political
ben_vulpes: time is hard
ben_vulpes: it's okay
ben_vulpes: he also got the order wrong
ben_vulpes: also i regularly go out of spec
ben_vulpes: but not assembly from scratch and full bed truement.
ben_vulpes: yes, requires ongoing tuning.
ben_vulpes: i would rather cut metal than spend my days tuning lathes.
ben_vulpes: it took quite some time.
ben_vulpes: i have tuned this mill to my liking.
ben_vulpes: lord knows i don't get that at $dayjob
ben_vulpes: i like machines that work out of the box.
ben_vulpes: he enjoys the reprogramming.

ben_vulpes: did you just proffer a pineapple?
ben_vulpes: keep sifting through the haystack, apparently.
ben_vulpes: who've seen, experienced, breathed

ben_vulpes: endemic us braindamage
ben_vulpes: "stop corporations"
ben_vulpes: "end global warming"
ben_vulpes: "solve poverty!"
ben_vulpes: "if we all just X then the world would be better!"
ben_vulpes: that i care not one whit to spread my meager energy across the vast faceless mass of other people, but would rather concentrate it on these few that i actually like
ben_vulpes: that the socialist call for us all to put our shoulders to the grindstone to make the world a better place only taxes those who work to benefit those who don't
ben_vulpes: that the world cannot be made better
ben_vulpes: healing the world
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'tikkun olam'
ben_vulpes: also i had all the time in the world
ben_vulpes: but at 18, 22, it was less onerous
