(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, I kind of suspect the what fun vs how oppressed is a good way to tell what sort of person is talking basically
(trilema) diana_coman: my take away from your picture story is that apparently each of those in the picture got pretty much what they wanted so...
(trilema) diana_coman: that's not even the point; one of them apparently kept being promoted/demoted in times of peace because he was a. an excellent pilot b. apparently unable to not have fun regardless of whether it's "permitted" or not
(trilema) diana_coman: and yes, some of them were dead
(trilema) diana_coman: fwiw I talked to former army pilots; they had lots of pictures of lots of males as you might imagine; the punchline was...WHAT FUN WE HAD
(trilema) diana_coman: erlehmann, getting a picture ready with "this one wanted to NOT HAVE FUN" ?
(trilema) diana_coman: still: "latest Flash Player version is required for the client to function properly"
(trilema) diana_coman: that dragoneternity game actually looks good
(trilema) diana_coman: <mod6> diana_coman is a warrior; nice post <- out of the saddest necessity really; thanks!
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that's actually very fitting indeed; will change, thank you!
(trilema) diana_coman: !!key zenchess
(trilema) diana_coman: trinque, I saw that approach in practice, yes
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, mama lu' stefan cel mare? lmao
(trilema) diana_coman: trinque, perhaps; I don't quite buy this cutting off a tit but I can't say I spent a lot of time on it as such
(trilema) diana_coman: obama-happy, trump-happy
(trilema) diana_coman: tbh I am not sure I see much to really distinguish this sort of "it makes me happy" from the "mud makes me happy"
(trilema) diana_coman: attract fools? dunno
(trilema) diana_coman: shinohai, thanks!
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, not sure I'd have less trouble finding a man really; I get what you mean though
(trilema) diana_coman: I find funny all the talk of no-speak, what
(trilema) diana_coman too busy to speak; works
(trilema) diana_coman: neah, it says it can't even see it then; will try another time with the adacore 4.9
(trilema) diana_coman: and yes, I just double checked arch
(trilema) diana_coman: I can confirm it eats that part fine once changed to QItem'Image(V) instead of V'Image
(trilema) diana_coman: weren't we going for stricter?
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, furthermore: adding -gnat12 got rid of the default discriminant barfs (as promised by ada docs) but I still have the complaints on prefix of "image" attribute
(trilema) diana_coman: hmmm; asciilifeform at a quick make (on a machine where I played with Ada successfully - if little - before) I get this: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/lMtJf/?raw=true
(trilema) diana_coman: sorry, I was deep into other stuff and got directly onto the ping, w.o. getting to catch up with the log
(trilema) diana_coman: I mean: I could call from C code the methods provided in Ada code
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, thanks for the ping! re ada/c - my small tests some while ago went surprisingly well actually, maybe the code was way too simple to get into trouble
(trilema) diana_coman: I still read that thing as one of the 10001 atrocious "story - advertisement" shit that I can't stand
(trilema) diana_coman: is that simona related to cristina bazavan?
(trilema) diana_coman: not against it as such, but as ...alternative; not the end of the world etc
(trilema) diana_coman: quite on the contrary really - I rather push so that he sees alternatives are also *possible and fine*
(trilema) diana_coman: but he is what he is and it's not as if I don't know the thing
(trilema) diana_coman: no, not at all
(trilema) diana_coman: lol! neah, he's just... rather strict
(trilema) diana_coman: he hates mess, lol
(trilema) diana_coman: not even a mess, he's good with it : on top of bath tub
(trilema) diana_coman: oooh, yeah, did that playing with water and ~all pots and pans and anything else we could find, yeah; and he plays a LOT with water & ice, pouring&smashing etc
(trilema) diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661725 <- ofc he loves it; I suspect it's more about having a mother who ...cooks, you know; and in general the interest thing is really more like interest in ~anything close adult does
(trilema) diana_coman: BingoBoingo, the cucumber plant was actually quite a hero: made dozens of cucumbers BUT it grew them to full size/ripened them *one at a time*; not an easy task apparently to make wholesome things even under rather favourable conditions as it were
(trilema) diana_coman: I would agree with that, yes
(trilema) diana_coman: and yes, 4 year old child routinely helps in the kitchen too, not a big deal; cutting stuff, mixing dough etc
(trilema) diana_coman: good; I'm just a bit surprised of all the emphasis here on ...cooking, lol; granted, I grew up with cooking being just usual everyday thing to do, just like waking up, washing etc but still
(trilema) diana_coman: ha ha, of course; kid got them from the plant, washed, ate, what
(trilema) diana_coman: BingoBoingo, hm?
(trilema) diana_coman: fwiw I have yet to meet someone who cooks for themselves who doesn't consider they cook "very well" (or better); it's when cooking for others that one can really tell whether they are good at it or not
(trilema) diana_coman planted cucumbers and the like last year simply for the child to see; not a lot of time spent on it, no
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the parallels with diana_coman eating away at the ps atrocity for minigame are striking, by the way. <- ha, catching up with the logs and I wanted to say precisely that!
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that must be the "solution" argentine style: they can't steal it now nananana
(trilema) diana_coman: they were distributing some staff from canada's travel recommendations re "stay safe in argentina" for some reason; apparently some "laptop-stealing exercises" were quite well-planned as in 2-3 people, goop on the target's backpack, "helping" etc
(trilema) diana_coman: ahahah, perhaps they'll have a special conf session re moar rms ppl!
(trilema) diana_coman: in denial of what? they are happy because they are on the road to where they need to be; they don't know it/acknowledge it,so what difference does that make?
(trilema) diana_coman will be really happy when those are finally drained
(trilema) diana_coman: quite well,thanks; fighting the swamps of planeshit as usual these days
(trilema) diana_coman: morning mod6
(trilema) diana_coman: t that's how it goes
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu> for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all". <- well, fat of ancestors can only be eaten/spent, but not sustained without own muscle; so basically it makes sense: they are searching for their own *real* level/position as downwards as that might be; not as if they are aware of it or need be, bu
(trilema) diana_coman: ah yes; and fwiw it's anyway still live and well in Ro as well
(trilema) diana_coman: and all the "they stole my laptop" "they entered conference rooms and tried to steal a laptop"
(trilema) diana_coman has recently been under a bit of avalanche of pictures from latest ICSE in Buenos Aires and she's SO HAPPY to not be there
(trilema) diana_coman: it's ok, I hear they got now a CS conference in Buenos Aires and they get therefore to steal participants' laptops,it's all a craze
(trilema) diana_coman: lol, it's ok; argentinians are/have been -happily! - waiting as well and they will keep at it indefinitely, what
(trilema) diana_coman: he got... googled and has no more lisp to offer :|
(trilema) diana_coman: well, 45 minutes to watch the video seem more like 45 minutes wasted; tbh the title reference doesn't bode well either
(trilema) diana_coman: ugh, I can't seem to find a transcript of the thing
(trilema) diana_coman: it certainly fits it perfectly, yes; and overall it also fits the more general pattern: the moment everyone gets to do it, one can tell that "it" is a. only a pale shadow of itself, b. going to shit full-speed ahead anyway
(trilema) diana_coman: I saw this thing in action; and brighter kids effectively perking up when they finally find someone sane to laugh at such idiocy, call it by its name and actually help them understand something; in eternal words "it actually MAKES SENSE now!!"
(trilema) diana_coman: phf, the sad reality is that "school" nowadays *teaches* kids stack overflow/monkey copy/paste/ you-can-program-without-knowing-maths as "the way to learn"
(trilema) diana_coman: makes some sense; to me though "smell of food" is fine as long as it's more like flavour of thing on the plate, NOT smell from the kitchen ; those people like that smell from the kitchen; admittedly it's still not industrial so yeah, there is something there
(trilema) diana_coman knows people who LIKE the smell/to smell of food; I'm quite sure they know also what hunger means - firsthand as it were, even if in their past rather than present
(trilema) diana_coman: that's quite how I read it too tbh but I admit I have limited experience with this sort of interactions
(trilema) diana_coman: have you considered that they might be simply *copying* IBM and the like 'cause that's "how it's done"? i.e. nda etc
(trilema) diana_coman: !!up Avarice`
(trilema) diana_coman: cool; read, ask, join, do
(trilema) diana_coman: you might want to check out #eulora too and the game itself anyway
(trilema) diana_coman: night night BingoBoingo
(trilema) diana_coman: fbar, jpt4 make a text client for Eulora
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, some people are barely catching up with x years ago for any value of x really; some go to 'experience Inca' or whatever
(trilema) diana_coman: phf`, fwiw I am reading and I usually do; however, I tend to not talk much
(trilema) diana_coman: !!v 2E7203DA9FFA6CA86D3D77BFFCA5057EEDA27E28DDED45E97B3737492282282A
(trilema) diana_coman: !!rate mihi 1 Wrote a Wireshark dissector script for Eulora protocol.
(trilema) diana_coman: actually I found the paper too meanwhile, ping me
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, a search for that thing turned out what seems to be the MSc thesis behind it if that's any help
(trilema) diana_coman: and I don't claim competence in mountaineering or whatevers
(trilema) diana_coman: no, I do NOT go where such groups go, lolz
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh, good try, you know? I'm not ignoring anything; I'm simply saying that no, someone is NOT competent if they die when they try to do their thing in the real world
(trilema) diana_coman: I get the not-political thing; I am more on the technical side myself, but there is some limit to what can be called competence
(trilema) diana_coman: oh, they were competent STRICTLY at climbing a mountain; provided the mountain is in the lab; in the void
(trilema) diana_coman: I fail to see how is that competence, really
(trilema) diana_coman: is that competence now.
(trilema) diana_coman: oh, there are here those dorks but they SHOULD NOT be here therefore we just..ignore them
(trilema) diana_coman: so dunno how competent is that
(trilema) diana_coman: eh, sure; they didn't tell them that, nor did they take into account the reality basically
(trilema) diana_coman: thing is: you are competent, right? and meet the big group who TELL you they are going on the higher route; so then?
(trilema) diana_coman: then that's what I read there too that they were accused of that, yes; I don't know about the accusation as such though
(trilema) diana_coman: uhm, do you mean the mountain guide was the greenhorn?
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ^
(trilema) diana_coman: the mountain guide guy did not write his account in any sane place of course, but anyways: http://www.flux24.ro/marturie-socanta-a-unui-martor-la-tragedia-din-retezat/
(trilema) diana_coman: let me fish that out I suppose
(trilema) diana_coman: they helped them afterwards too
(trilema) diana_coman: there was another group who were pro and told them even to take a different route
(trilema) diana_coman: they were there
(trilema) diana_coman: from what I read it was more that they were idiots on the day ignoring the weather forecast and making a poor decision on the spot re path to take
(trilema) diana_coman: there is that
(trilema) diana_coman can't quite believe that's from 2015 already, ha
(trilema) diana_coman: cool graph mod6
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, that's what "we use in eulora"
(trilema) diana_coman: alternatively, get an owl I suppose
(trilema) diana_coman: I really enjoyed reading this account of unboxing and testing the FG; thank you, mod6
(trilema) diana_coman: but whatever
(trilema) diana_coman: hm, to me it sounds more that it's a case of "this nonsense of forcing peasantry and maids and dogs and whatnots to have their own apartments dun work"
(trilema) diana_coman: or that; can be
(trilema) diana_coman: they actually liked the shit very much
(trilema) diana_coman: this is why I said earlier: they left for the "rich opportunities" not because "I can't stand this shit!"
(trilema) diana_coman: I knew it but with previous wife thing
(trilema) diana_coman: the burnt thing?
(trilema) diana_coman: no or don't recall it; I being apparently an exception to that thing, I'm still trying to digest it
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu> my sister went to denmark, married romanian she found there. it's a thing, this. <- this is the sort of thing I keep noticing and can't yet explain beyond "people basically get homesick - they went abroad for it being rich, not for them not suffering the poor ways at home"
(trilema) diana_coman: sorry to hear that, mod6
(trilema) diana_coman: hey, he's ...happy, ok? so amazing etc
(trilema) diana_coman: ah, position might be a thing
(trilema) diana_coman: ah, that makes some sense
(trilema) diana_coman must be some exception then
(trilema) diana_coman: uhm, what's with the wisdom teeth+expected?
(trilema) diana_coman: o.O what passes for small bookstore there then?
(trilema) diana_coman: come to think about it (and recollecting sad childhood adventures with public libraries in home land) - it might have been that the library is simply cobbled together from whatever gets donated or is found in the street, who knows
(trilema) diana_coman: eh; were the books ordered by ...height? did they look pretty on the shelf?
(trilema) diana_coman: but to be as close to that - preferably precisely that ,of course
(trilema) diana_coman: no, no, no shinohai you don't get it; the whole point is to NOT LOOK like a tv dinner
(trilema) diana_coman: quite; the next step in this company's quest for market domination and all sorts of successeses will probably be a "re-thinking of the box so that the customer can just push a button and the ingredients jump into their place in the pan" - for those who want to cook but don't want the hassle of dealing with pans and pots
(trilema) diana_coman: well, that doesn't sound like it's meant for cooking; it's meant for pretending to be cooking without actually cooking as it were; quite the elaborate pretence, but that's not new anymore
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, if it adds up to "only 30 papers in TOTAL" it means you are not going back long enough really
(trilema) diana_coman sees a bit of a younger Diana's shock along the lines of "it can't really be true that 99% of the world I live in is actually rotten to the core" on re-reading Framedragger's replies
(trilema) diana_coman: and the fact that there is a lot of null published doesn't make it less null
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, yes, they are
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, the issue is that it is RELEVANT
(trilema) diana_coman: it's like saying "oh, that guy is not 'important' hence his findings can be stolen"?
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, understand: this is not about "importance"
(trilema) diana_coman: very little bullshit allowed to stand quickly expands until there is (nor can there be) anything else than bullshit
(trilema) diana_coman: " will even perhaps address this point." <- omfg
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, the underlying issue from my point of view is that intellectual dishonesty essentially bars one from claiming to do research; they might be doing advertising, writing, experiments or anything else, but not research since they are not after finding things out as they are, but about finding something to eat or whatever
(trilema) diana_coman: first and foremost I take issue with pretending that an unaknowledged repackaging of other people's work mostly pretends to be research
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, the alphabetic ordering of names is inconsequential; that was just chuckles really
(trilema) diana_coman: it used to be at least translating useful stuff
(trilema) diana_coman: a bit like "it's not plagiarising since this is what academia is now"
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I suppose that's pretty much the thing here: by now this is the "best" one can see from that area
(trilema) diana_coman: esp for those in the know of academia-on-the-topic-of-author-order it screams desperate hunger
(trilema) diana_coman: on a side note, the only truly lulzy part in there is the footnote on page 1 "All four authors contributed substantially and share first authorship. The names are ordered alphabetically"
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, does that paper seem to you like an honest piece of research work in any shape?
(trilema) diana_coman is speechless
(trilema) diana_coman: Framedragger, fwiw there really is no meaningful way to defend that paper
(trilema) diana_coman: lol; Sunday logs!
(trilema) diana_coman: it seems that academia meanwhile went even faster downhill than I thought possible; at this rate it will soon produce colouring books and "educate" people on how pencils are not even good for much besides making marks on paper (for which one can use their hands anyway! there's one chapter on that plus 10 on history of mark-making and its perks)
(trilema) diana_coman: !!rate saifedean -1 bla-bla peddler full of air and nothing much besides it.
(trilema) diana_coman: lolz @ ritualism; I ask for practical, hands-on experience that would give him something to say on the topic and he points me to bla-bla; I point out it is bla-bla unsupported and without any concern to even allow people to verify it should they be inclined to do so and he claims it's rituals I'm asking for
(trilema) diana_coman: the links you sent are essentially bla-bla; not even theory since there isn't even some clear methodology one could evaluate, nor clear supporting arguments to the claims; I won't waste any more time on it
(trilema) diana_coman: I didn't mean to get involved and do something useful with "blockchain technology"; I meant at the very least running a node, exploring the network
(trilema) diana_coman: !!up saifedean
(trilema) diana_coman: read this: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2832751 <- the answer to the title would be "well, how the hell would you know?" ; really, get involved and do something useful with it and then talk about what you did; so far I see only a re-hash a la acm/journalism/whatevers, not-even-proper-systematic-lit-review
(trilema) diana_coman: no need to: it thoroughly disabused me of the naive belief that academia is actually worthwhile aka truly doing research (in some 1% cases it might still be doing it, but mostly dieing out)
(trilema) diana_coman: might mention that I was a post-doc at some point in life
(trilema) diana_coman goes to check those out
(trilema) diana_coman: saifedean do you have the work and results that mean something? if yes - link; if no, no
(trilema) diana_coman: in other unrelated or possibly related happenings, my 4 year old got a book about the iss (int'l space station); he got quite obsessed with it for a week so now he knows it inside out; this morning he came with a construction made out of lego pieces and informs me: THIS is IIISSSIII!
(trilema) diana_coman: that's a very poor answer; people's time is a scarce resource
(trilema) diana_coman: saifedean WHAT makes you an expert on the topic?
(trilema) diana_coman: !!s saifedean
(trilema) diana_coman: lobbes, I'll gladly pay for the auction services in Eulora; Foxy's currently in a days-long craft so will have to wait for that to finish first though
(trilema) diana_coman: my understanding is that a position is a person's to claim whenever he wants to/cares to, so sabbatical is certainly not a problem at all
(trilema) diana_coman: if it's settled/clear either way, certainly not
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the one other item is ... jurov fell off as lord treasurer. i dun exactly recall why or wherefore ; but he is STILL holding a considerable sum for the foundation, and moreover why sohuldn't he be a lord ? <- based on the work he did/does as far as I know it, I think he should be on the list; that being said, my understanding was that he got dropped due to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-03#1444966
(trilema) diana_coman: it can and will be overrun from what I can see
(trilema) diana_coman: trouble is that unless the kick out is intrinsic, simply a machine function
(trilema) diana_coman: I read there "kick him out" for "exposing"
(trilema) diana_coman: so you expose 1 and then 10 and then 100 and so what; infinite points are on their side
(trilema) diana_coman: "you can expose him in 5 minutes" is not enough and moreover it is in favour of the idiots simply because ..mass
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, urgh, I'd rather ask: how I can PREVENT this being done
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, ~everything has been sitting there since ages until someone comes and does something useful (for him) with it and THEN, (as in: too late) everybody starts doing something with it hence popular etc
(trilema) diana_coman: anything you do and works and becomes useful WILL encounter the mass of idiots jumping on it
(trilema) diana_coman: asciilifeform, the "appeal" from an idiot perspective is "it's popular" ; that means that at some point (late, but anyways) they WILL find it appealing
(trilema) diana_coman: but essentially it is so far the only sort of approach that stands a chance against the mass of idiots basically; still a field of study for me re actual deployment, but anyways
(trilema) diana_coman: certainly more fundamental; I talked about code because I write code, not because the issue is not clearly visible otherwise
(trilema) diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633736 <- I actually think that is a characteristic worth knowing how to replicate in one's own programs: after all the horrors I saw, I quite find it a bad thing that well done code tends to be basically too forgiving on idiots
(trilema) diana_coman: anyway, gotta say that mod6's script and docs were great and very, very helpful
(trilema) diana_coman: ha, wb mircea_popescu ; I left it on its own after I saw it was going ok, haven't quite timed it
(trilema) diana_coman: mod6, list of deps for trb from what I gathered on a fresh, minimal centos box: bc, gcc, g++, gpg, wget, perl, patch, rsync, sha512sum, unzip
(trilema) diana_coman: back in Ro, in my experience gipsies had fewer if any such troubles re speaking to women, naked or not; they were quite cowards (i.e. if someone took them to task/seemed powerful around they would retreat) but otherwise not suffering from much anxiety re the interaction itself
(trilema) diana_coman: what, no "gipsy" anywhere?
(trilema) diana_coman: so perhaps not that much at odds after all; re the female imagined part, I suspect that has more to do with fact that ... "what'll happen" depends on who gets her out
(trilema) diana_coman: the"evidence"
(trilema) diana_coman: that sounds close enough/toward the "make money renting folding chairs" though, doesn't it?
(trilema) diana_coman: makes sense, that
(trilema) diana_coman: that's precisely my point: I get it that some 20 years ago they went into teaching for this reason; meanwhile it's so constricted and day by day more so that ...
(trilema) diana_coman: ugh, I thought it was already more than obvious that no power at all,what with all the assorted "rights" and "child protection" and what nots
(trilema) diana_coman: but like at all
(trilema) diana_coman: tbh I have no idea why/how would someone go into teaching at this moment; my only hypothesis is that really, really, they have NO other option at all
(trilema) diana_coman: yes, but at the same time she "can"
(trilema) diana_coman: eh, give him a bad grade, "dent his self-esteem", "ruin his future" etc
(trilema) diana_coman: !!v F8300762F6EDDA3F83850CF78CB1DB94E6D58544E2BB666233953DCEE839F8F4
(trilema) diana_coman: !!rate lobbes 2 Made a very useful bot for #eulora. He's very modest, too.
(trilema) diana_coman: hm, the first thing I purposefully learnt when on skis was...how to fall; as in: how to fall *without* breaking anything etc
(trilema) diana_coman: everything is hard to distinguish when one has only vague approximations instead of definitions (because clear definitions are too harsh; and not inclusive enough! etc)
(trilema) diana_coman: I took that to be very-much-needed-sarcasm ; Framedragger knows best whether it was still innocent hope instead
(trilema) diana_coman: 99.93% lulz basically, quite
(trilema) diana_coman: ahahaha mircea_popescu; it sounds... familiar already
(trilema) diana_coman: mod6, so sorry about that
(trilema) diana_coman: myeah, sort-of-half-python; jumatate de python schiop calare pe jumatate de c olog
(trilema) diana_coman: needs to reimplement to get out on the other side really (I did NOT dig deep into Blender but I wouldn't be surprised if it were terribly bloated at the very least)
(trilema) diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-09#1623846 <-- fwiw the only way I can see this dependency on Python going anywhere would be if someone makes a sane replacement basically - however, artists need it but won't do it and otherwise people who are able to do it have a huge list of *other* things that need to be done as far as I can see; moreover (and as usual already), the whole steaming pile is deep so I can't even say how much one
(trilema) diana_coman: in principle there could be cases (possibly unknown after all) of intelligent people who READ the log and decided it was not for them; but myeah
(trilema) diana_coman: ftr that "because that's how normal debates work" sounds like....idiocy
(trilema) diana_coman: works, yes; I don't find anything against it
(trilema) diana_coman: what is "all that" that you define as vanity?
(trilema) diana_coman: I suppose I would say that "because they are not sad enough" but rather quite fine
(trilema) diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-09#1623585 <- in my opinion "intelligence" is only part of the story here; the split (between who stays/goes) is made less on intelligence lines and more on allegiance lines basically; another way to say it would be that those leaving have already invested themselves too much into various values that are in contradiction with tmsr, hence they will leave, intelligence has nothing to do with it
(trilema) diana_coman: !!v E9BE5BA981193B13FBD347AFDB6DC7833C15242596D121A34FF29D47389E05C9
(trilema) diana_coman: !!rate thestringpuller -1 he puts conditions on others for "being useful" despite no evidence of ever *doing* something useful
(trilema) diana_coman: by this time I rather expect that the underlying truth there is that MIT's "computer science curriculum" simply is watered down
(trilema) diana_coman: "While there will always be people with unfair advantages" bwahahaa
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, yes, I think asciilifeform is quite right there - I *saw* "programmers" doing exactly that in fact
(trilema) diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and comment is on, of course
