ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what is with you and unsanitary working conditions

ben_vulpes: oh lol

ben_vulpes: takes mega current

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: electric is the *worst*

ben_vulpes: you want the eye of sauron: mr heater mh15t

ben_vulpes: is that /plastic/?

ben_vulpes: oh jeez

ben_vulpes: well, "most" relative to volume of shop.

ben_vulpes: which one? and why unendurable?

ben_vulpes: plus very tall ceilings

ben_vulpes: co poisoning not really an issue, it's a slow flow over some steel mesh, more or less everything burns off on the mesh going to co2

ben_vulpes: also blew crap all over the shop while i was finishing tables and whatnot, so eventually decommissioned.

ben_vulpes: did not work as well as the radiant attachments atop the propane tank

ben_vulpes: pumped water through the furnace, up to our shop, and through an old car radiator with a fan behind it.

ben_vulpes: BUT SO AWESOME

ben_vulpes: 'twas outside

ben_vulpes maggot, proud to find free energy around

ben_vulpes regards the vast pile of oddities that sorta-worked

ben_vulpes: like everything else i do.

ben_vulpes: didn't! at all!

ben_vulpes once attempted to fab a piston

ben_vulpes: yeah well who knows how the trajectory actually draws through the possibility space

ben_vulpes: gotta kill the megastates first though.

ben_vulpes: ofc one could also do entirely away with the 'cc' part.

ben_vulpes: anyways an entirely viable future is one wherein the various lords with computing gear remaining in the closet operate their own bitcoind variants as local banks, holding chits for the peasants and reconciling over shortwave gpggram

ben_vulpes: aha carbides

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: myes, i can see this

ben_vulpes: hawala, then?

ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform i'm suffering from a failure of imagination--care to link me to the thread where you explain how a cc would work without miners?

ben_vulpes: very causation

ben_vulpes: great vintage

ben_vulpes: srsly not the kahlua

ben_vulpes: sorry, the relentless carblogger threads have me twisted

ben_vulpes: oh wait this is fiat currency not fiat cars

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: the fiat involvement is not clear

ben_vulpes: sorry, $client left many bottles of homemade kahlua at the office

ben_vulpes: i'm playing *gentoo quest* most recently...

ben_vulpes: er

ben_vulpes: i'm playing openbsd quest most recently, as openbsd didn't do drivers or reference implementation compilation

ben_vulpes: what kind of linux, what kind of mbp?

ben_vulpes: phf: funny you should mention this

ben_vulpes: buy cars and not computers. have no representation in the wot.

ben_vulpes: adherence to the modernist forms notwithstanding.

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: they /are/ barbarians.

ben_vulpes: where'd it cut off?

ben_vulpes: but now i am a man and i hang fools by my own hand

ben_vulpes: once i was a child, i extended them as much rope as i thought they'd need to hang themselves

ben_vulpes: i don't extend the robert viragh s of the world nearly so much rope as i did before

ben_vulpes: should punindented come back, it must be on his knees.

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: 'twas so banal as to be entirely unremarkable

ben_vulpes: !rate punindented -1 unwelcome here

ben_vulpes: > plum role

ben_vulpes: one of those interesting $50 now or $2500 in three week problems i can solve due to hilariously checkered background

ben_vulpes at office, fixing fancy couch $bzprtnr bought a year ago

ben_vulpes: more new faces?

ben_vulpes: literal bottom feeders.

ben_vulpes: mk.

ben_vulpes: > t bars

ben_vulpes: so they're a glorified waste-processing plant.

ben_vulpes: plus costs of molds, does it cast? forge? roll?

ben_vulpes: steel mill doesn't make sense to operate unless operated continually, no small-batch fabber is going to do so.

ben_vulpes: even $robofab i worked for one time had their castings done by a casting company.

ben_vulpes: hard to make a small steel mill. the things tend to be huge and dominate the area or go out of business.

ben_vulpes: http://news.mit.edu/2016/nanophotonic-incandescent-light-bulbs-0111 << luminous efficiency is a reprehensible scam

ben_vulpes: lovely highway driver, though.

ben_vulpes: i can hear the damn thing depreciating just driving around town.

ben_vulpes: 'twas built for glass-smooth late seventies roads.

ben_vulpes: this is actually my greatest lament about the corvette

ben_vulpes: i do not buy this "they're all turing complete, so what's the aggro?" line.

ben_vulpes: which...https://github.com/robotlolita/fuck-you/blob/master/index.js#L79

ben_vulpes: https://github.com/robotlolita/fuck-you/blob/master/index.js

ben_vulpes: did we do the hundred and forty line node version of kill -9 yet?

ben_vulpes: punindented: please no js

ben_vulpes: please no node

ben_vulpes: no node

ben_vulpes: huh

ben_vulpes: i think i understand what you're driving at

ben_vulpes: yes this i get

ben_vulpes: mod6: im still a bit unclear as to what "precedence levels" refers

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: weev's tracker

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: "we'll give you a zillion dollars provided you spend it all designing and producing our next generation of home routers"?

ben_vulpes: the effect is rather beautiful.

ben_vulpes: monochrome + color inversion

ben_vulpes: heh relatedly i coerced my ipnohe into gothmode last night

ben_vulpes: someone might figure out that nothing's gotten any better since then

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: lolno

ben_vulpes: what do you mean "precedence levels"

ben_vulpes: mod6: press of a given head should result in the *exact same* tree under all V's, as i understand it

ben_vulpes: i have to redo its press algo to recurse up the parents chain

ben_vulpes: last i checked did not produce trees that matched yours

ben_vulpes: mod6: eh it probably doesn't work anyways

ben_vulpes: because rEFInd does not work on the ancient mbp and the ready ways to get rEFIt onto the damned thing is to...install it from os x first.

ben_vulpes: hey pete_dushenski you may be entertained to hear that my openbsd adventures have led me to download 10.6 and dd it onto a usb

ben_vulpes: it*

ben_vulpes: makes for low snr is what is does

ben_vulpes: of the suburbs of soi-disant cities in provinces nobody visits anyways

ben_vulpes: seriously, vagrants publishing pamphlets in the far flung outskirts

ben_vulpes: who cares

ben_vulpes: > js << lolwutwho

ben_vulpes: punkman: a right

ben_vulpes: (and ty, jurov)

ben_vulpes: logz plz

ben_vulpes: even if you don't move the coins around, would you show your charge and account for its not moving in donations?

ben_vulpes: i'd really rather the books show the expected expenses, jurov.

ben_vulpes: o tru

ben_vulpes never understood the 'broomstick' line

ben_vulpes: ffs.

ben_vulpes: ddos?

ben_vulpes: but also the startup short requires tending to the egos of those being shorted.

ben_vulpes: somewhat.

ben_vulpes: one of not crossing bezzle and bitcoin streams.

ben_vulpes: not his problem though

ben_vulpes: no way

ben_vulpes: "web techmologies!"

ben_vulpes: and eating of capital

ben_vulpes: this margin/time/spend way of looking at things is very illuminating

ben_vulpes: foundation spend << not to date

ben_vulpes: aaand that was actually indonesia, so i'm probably thinking about the wrong thing.

ben_vulpes: those were hdds

ben_vulpes: cars are an insane deployment of capital and parking an insane deployment of re

ben_vulpes: phf: and in those cities the cars park for 4+ hours and the trucks doing actual work double park next to them

ben_vulpes: https://gcaptain.com/2016/01/14/u-s-navys-new-fast-transport-ships-cant-stand-buffeting-from-high-seas/ << heh

ben_vulpes: so then why are we engaged in this exercise at all? some future derp will just flip out over the bit being flipped in the opposite direction.

ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, is it more difficult to malleate to low-s from high-s?

ben_vulpes: ive nfi what bb and pete were thinking

ben_vulpes: just because i'm not complaining about the moronic voicings in real time doesn't mean i'm not getting annoyed reading the logs elsewhere.

ben_vulpes: after all the noise in the logs from last night i certainly have no more patience for it.

ben_vulpes: heck, that's how the city was set up pre-interstate

ben_vulpes would be entirely happy with horses and trams

ben_vulpes: no more megabuxx for fixing all the damage cars do to the entirely serviceable tarmac designed originally for bikes

ben_vulpes: no more megabuxx for interstate

ben_vulpes: it's going to end up that way, mircea_popescu.

ben_vulpes: sure, nobody'd blink.

ben_vulpes: i don't fucking /park/ them, that's for damn sure.

ben_vulpes: call a car, it's what i do

ben_vulpes: no dirigible parking anyways.

ben_vulpes: your oddball habits don't really bear on cascadian city planning problems.

ben_vulpes: this particular thread is old yes

ben_vulpes: noobsRus: NOBODY CARES

ben_vulpes: but no, reseller of pink plastic chinese crap, you do not get more parking just for the asking.

ben_vulpes: parking is for megacorps who can afford to waste the space in that way. generally supermarkets which are dying anyways.

ben_vulpes: nevertheless this is my town, and more parking is not what i want.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ofc

ben_vulpes: phf: there aren't really "car people" in town. the closest thing is the various merchant groups owners all live in the suburbs and operate a variant of the quiznos/arbys/starbucks franchise, and so want 'moar parking!', because that's all they understand.

ben_vulpes: noobsRus: nobody gices a fuck about r/t/hn

ben_vulpes: phf: it's not "low car concentration" it's high people concentration. the concentration of cars in an area is nigh-meaningless given that a car takes up > 8 m^2 of space for typically one user, and this imposes a hard upper bound on a) the number of cars in a space and b) the number of people you can cram into a space.

ben_vulpes: lotta new faces this past week.

ben_vulpes: !gettrust noobsRus

ben_vulpes: who are you though

ben_vulpes: regardless of what the merchants want, tight on-street parking is both the prime indicator that and a core driver for a neighborhood being worth going to and living in. merchant complaints entirely aside (what do they know, they've forgotten the import of "foot traffic" and "location location location"), sacrificing car parking for bike access is the utter best way to get more people trafficing past your dumb shop.

ben_vulpes: welcome noobsRus, no thanks necessary

ben_vulpes: "because the city decided that on-street auto parking directly in front of the stores was more important than all-ages bike access to the future of those districts." << heh, andersen with the subtle shiv

ben_vulpes: !up noobsRus

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: for the gentoo novice, what are the major de-poetteringizing flags to be aware of and set?

ben_vulpes: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0030 << phf, you can specify patches for lxr thusly

ben_vulpes: o gawd pete_dushenski the cxt

ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: how would i know, i'm just a human compiler

ben_vulpes: statistically unlikely events and i guess vanity addresses

ben_vulpes: has domain over chance, mean reversion

ben_vulpes: hipster goddes of luck, aka lady infity, lady limit

ben_vulpes: ifni rolled me a good one.

ben_vulpes: *and* the child may be getting it as well.

ben_vulpes: *and* the girl is sick.

ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, i got an entire night of sleep last night
