ben_vulpes: Yours,
ben_vulpes: If the notion appeals, let me know that you're game. It would be fantastic to get the git exercise wrapped up by Jan 1, and yourself into the office as soon as you can make it after your return from Indiana.
ben_vulpes: well with the team, and (should we extend an offer to transition from contractor to employee) ascend our internal talent ladder.
ben_vulpes: Should you demonstrate speed of self-education, willingness to reach out for support if you need it, and the ability and willingness to cultivate your own beautiful little commit-trees, we'll offer you a contracting position paying $30/hr. This rate affords us the luxury of budgeting training and study time for you. Our hope is that as you build familiarity with the ecosystems and projects, that you'll demonstrate productivity, mesh
ben_vulpes: Please reach out to me with any technical questions you have, any questions about how Git works or how to use it, or to review your progress and provide feedback. We take pairing and education seriously here, and are very happy to extend this support to you during this exercise.
ben_vulpes: We're looking for a really nice commit and merging history, so feel free to trash your working copies aggressively in pursuit of a nice finished product.
ben_vulpes: A huge part of the work that we do while building software is cultivating beautiful little trees of commits with Git. To that end, we want to resolve a concern on our end about getting you up to speed on our favorite version-controlatron (Git), and so we cooked up two exercises for you to work through over the next few weeks (see attached).
ben_vulpes: Thank you for stopping by and meeting the team—we had a blast and hope you did as well.

ben_vulpes: mod6: ack
ben_vulpes: it's not great but hey you're working in the browser
ben_vulpes: that said, clojure's a good example of how even a shitty lisp is strong enough to wrap its tentacles around more or less the whole webshitstack and deliver a single cognitive environment for writing 'software' that stretches from the server to the browser
ben_vulpes would unlearn anything to be free of the shitstack

ben_vulpes: (and yes i understand why you don't want to talk to anyone polluted by vn about this thing)
ben_vulpes: this is probably horrendously wrong, but i currently imagine some 'main' program entrypoint with subsections that indicate their parallelizability. is this entirely wrong or correctably wrong?
ben_vulpes: so there must be constraints on the programmering style in order for an arbitrary program to be arbitrarily parallelizable
ben_vulpes: on what?
ben_vulpes: so i take the little proggy i've written--would i need to do anything special to it in order to take advantage of more m^2 of compute fabric?
ben_vulpes: okay asciilifeform another strike at the fortress of incomprehensibility then
ben_vulpes: ^^ unrelated
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell Naphex yes yes but what about all of the much more difficult questions re statements and income and equity and depreciation and whatnot
ben_vulpes: so they'd have to be "pure" (to borrow a fp-ism) in order to serve the arbitrary parallelism definition?

ben_vulpes: so it's arbitrarily parallelizable, right?

ben_vulpes: that part's supposed to be entertaining
ben_vulpes: this week i'm actually preferring to hire "jr" people with broad programming experience (and varied backgrounds) for pressing into the ipnohe and andorp squads, theory being that broad experience with other humans and technologies trumps cheap labor and misguided enthusiasm

ben_vulpes: what a buncha wimps.
ben_vulpes: also vimeo is a reprehensible operation who caves unconditionally to baseless dmca notices from SORORITIES
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell mitch_callahan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSTCGe4neOM found a backup

ben_vulpes: what was it before?
ben_vulpes: welcome, mircea_popescu, to the new new new new web
ben_vulpes rolls eyes
ben_vulpes: everyone already has chrome, there is no "download".
ben_vulpes: ofc this buys also the risk of google ripping the sheets out from under one.
ben_vulpes: you can make the consumers "come to expect" anything, unless mgmt insists pigheadedly on cross-browser support chasing "lift" or "conversion" or some such, chrome should be adequate.
ben_vulpes: and think what you will, constraining the operating environment to just chrome is a pretty sensible cost-reducing move.
ben_vulpes: that has nothing to do with depreciation schedule.
ben_vulpes: also "software" should be depreciated on a goddamn 2 year schedule it rots so quickly. especially these single-page angular things; they're exceptionally more expensive to maintain as time goes on.
ben_vulpes: i thought Naphex wrote it
ben_vulpes: some hand-wavey value of the software?
ben_vulpes: !down whiterock
ben_vulpes: and why is that reported as an asset value increase

ben_vulpes: like i said kakobrekla the 'board' can pay whatever in divs apparently
ben_vulpes: but that has nothing to do with the topic
ben_vulpes: whiterock: find the topic with /topic
ben_vulpes: shareholder equity implies a previous investment round as well.
ben_vulpes: board can authorize divs of whatever size they want to?
ben_vulpes: too late, whiterock, mircea_popescu beat you to it.
ben_vulpes: see davout and x.eur
ben_vulpes: monthly is an adequate frequency for inspecting operators commitment to the project.
ben_vulpes: ofc but for logreaders.
ben_vulpes: not that i'm even going to look at the blockchain on the latter, but they should at least show up on the balance sheet, even if they are going directly into naphex' pocket
ben_vulpes: - tax payments
ben_vulpes: - description of expenditures
ben_vulpes: - monthly reports
ben_vulpes: not that anyone cares, but things i'd like to see pre-ipo:
ben_vulpes: also what constitutes expenditures?
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=06-10-2015#1292987 << only gripe is with paying shareholder divs without paying tax
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu, Naphex: are the xotika reports living at predictable urls?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'd not waste the time.
ben_vulpes: u herd it here phurst!
ben_vulpes: implications left as exercise.
ben_vulpes: most recently, swift failed to ship with an 'either' type

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: who has the quadrillions of driven miles?
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: doctorow did a story where $badpeople took control of a robot car to kill the protagonists
ben_vulpes: perhaps if the world of 3 cars per american were to continue, there'd be an economic point to getting normies off the road. entire us interstate system is a ridiculous boondoggle that's going away, along with the mass-market car, and drivers who can't handle an ambush.
ben_vulpes: just one? you don't want to propose a cascading failure?
ben_vulpes: they'll hurt someone i tell you
ben_vulpes: and while drinking even
ben_vulpes: how did humans ever drive with foggy windows indeed
ben_vulpes: faster than real time trajectory analysis sure aint a thing
ben_vulpes: sure if you say so pete_dushenski
ben_vulpes: mcdonaldsizing of driving. americans drive so poorly they need robots to help.
ben_vulpes: nope, whatever costs the insurance companies less.
ben_vulpes: turns out, actuaries make that call.
ben_vulpes: what is good enough?
ben_vulpes: they will eventually have lower failure rates than humans
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: doesn't matter whose
ben_vulpes: funny how easily the medallion hustle was knocked over
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: you're not excited to own a fraction of a self-driving fleet?
ben_vulpes is going off years-old hearsay anyways
ben_vulpes: cabbies sold 'em all for a shot at college
ben_vulpes: private equity owns most of those
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: lol are you serious medallions are inherited up there?
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: the monopolies
ben_vulpes applauds nsa missive
ben_vulpes: "The so-called “Cadillac Tax” will be levied in 2018 on companies that offer the “richest” benefits."
