(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-11#1894983 << I'm gonna reorder my list and move to wp first
(trilema) Mocky: i'm assuming "Eu cind vreau sa fluier, fluier" == "Eu cand vreau sa fluier, fluier". The former named in http://trilema.com/2016/a-story-of-men/ the latter available for download
(trilema) Mocky: Pretty likely I haven't encountered the like, I'll watch
(trilema) Mocky: i will answer
(trilema) Mocky: yeah, my hand rolled blog is not long for this world http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-09#1893948
(trilema) Mocky: i'm still reading the links. currently at http://trilema.com/2017/paolo-il-caldo/
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu: thx for the mega comment
(trilema) Mocky: trinque: I approach it by engaging them in conversation only
(trilema) Mocky: in other news, I got my first ru spam blog comment разработка сайтов
(trilema) Mocky: so many roles in 'modern development', mostly slotted by chix 'scrum master' 'product owner' 'ux designer' in addition to the traditional hr
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo: ah yes, i remember reading as much in the logs
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu: thought that was where the black chix who can't code go
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu: buncha cute chix there yea, lucky for them they now get a man to admire
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo: how so, bash still bash
(trilema) Mocky: it's so social compared to working alone at home
(trilema) Mocky: my first torx was to pull a ford brake pad
(trilema) Mocky: at least there's an actual terminal unlike windows
(trilema) Mocky: took me a full minute to find the power button, turning it over and every which way.
(trilema) Mocky: 'thunderbolt' ports only, even for power. every periph unusable without holy water blessed apple dongle
(trilema) Mocky: my new slave galley issued me a mac book pro. ugh, i thought i was going to make it to the grave without having to mac

(trilema) Mocky: *now that I'm back to work
(trilema) Mocky: then imma migrate to wp
(trilema) Mocky: got a handful more to grunt out. not that I'm back to work I have free time again
(trilema) Mocky: well child-like is not the term, but I do think childish only applies to adults. calling a child childish would be in jest
(trilema) Mocky: if a child is doing it, it's not childish, it's child-like. it's only childish for an adult
(trilema) Mocky: if so then why would picking writer be the argument, why not cook?
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu you're equivocating between being an amateur conceptually and being an amateur at X
(trilema) Mocky: the proposed meaning describes a mindset or attitude only, with no consideration of actual ability
(trilema) Mocky: I got paid to do some development for a game, but still would say amateur game developer
(trilema) Mocky: not paid to do it
(trilema) Mocky: seems like an intentional amateur (amateur pilot) is different from an oblivious amateur
(trilema) Mocky: yes those are the hand levers can curved plates
(trilema) Mocky: in my mind zundapp has reversed hand levers and curved license plate on front fender, although I know not all did
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform: maybe my eye is misreading the perspective, which would make more sense, but that's how it looks to me
(trilema) Mocky: handlebar is in contact with the sidecar
(trilema) Mocky: bullshit, no one used a bike that can't turn right for anything except ridicule. it was used with a proper side car!
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform re zundapp, leaving aside that it dun look much like a classic blitzkrieg bike to me, I'm commenting on the massive side car that makes the pictured item factually unusable, even with windshield removed
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-30#1890659 << ha, nice sidecar. makes it the motorcycle precursor to nascar... right turns not needed. plus good luck reaching that hand clutch
(trilema) Mocky: ahh figures
(trilema) Mocky: wasn't it shannon with the otp proof?
(trilema) Mocky: which means mooching off family, not actual hunger btw
(trilema) Mocky: by the looks of it, will go approx 4 days without food money before first paycheck, so this was cut pretty close
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-26#1890218 << I finally got job offer yesterday
(trilema) Mocky: being chucked into the air?
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo: got it, thx
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo can you set me up with mp-wp in my wwwhabeeb directory on uy1 for mockyhabeeb.com? I want to see what migrating my blog will involve.
(trilema) Mocky: !!v D80D0E6CF388A6BFEF9DE3BB9B283433119DE1BD1B3D8AA59A341A4ABB2CB678
(trilema) Mocky: !!pay-invoice BingoBoingo 1
(trilema) Mocky: trinque is there anything wrong with my deposit from a week ago sunday? It seems not to have gone thru
(trilema) Mocky: instead of an offer for this one prospect I got "one more interview, next week" but still imo looks probable
(trilema) Mocky: howdy asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: if they are gonna look at afrofacts, what next, look at femfacts?
(trilema) Mocky: they think in terms of nanny state policies and what policies statistical facts would imply
(trilema) Mocky: thx mod6
(trilema) Mocky: fingers crossed maybe I get a job offer today
(trilema) Mocky: hard coded
(trilema) Mocky: is the number of witnesses to be a knob or fixed?
(trilema) Mocky: weekend works
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu sure, no problem. I'll fire it up tomorrow, make sure I'm good to go.
(trilema) Mocky: how goes ch 15 asciilifeform ?
(trilema) Mocky: good morning
(trilema) Mocky: so long as it doesn't have cancel button
(trilema) Mocky: electric, what, to pull itself out of your pocket?
(trilema) Mocky: I had the most vivid dream last night that I met mp and hanbot. I shook mp's hand and then I turned and shook hanbot's hand and when I turned back mp was gone but left me a note with his signature and "kek" then I turned and habot was gone too
(trilema) Mocky: was hoping to see a russian d00d shoot at them from a window, but no, instead the raccoons went down to the creek after dinner to wash their paws
(trilema) Mocky: to bring it full circle, I saw one of my grandsons yesterday watching a cartoon about how helpful raccoons are for eating trash so less waste goes to the land fill, and how clean and friendly they are
(trilema) Mocky: and number 11 is in the oven
(trilema) Mocky: I just hit double digit grand kids
(trilema) Mocky: unrelatedly, it's strange time distortion to be a newb and compress the reading of back #trilema & #ba logs into 8 months and then see http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884140 and realize the fella (and plenty others fresh in the mind) hasn't even spoken here for a year
(trilema) Mocky: are you an advocate on behalf of the billions?
(trilema) Mocky: more like the tsa luggage locks
(trilema) Mocky: also re bot, I do see the underlying problem that is revealed when someone says "oh hey, never thought of..."
(trilema) Mocky: unfortunately my cpp skills are not there yet
(trilema) Mocky: yes, a more resilient design is much needed for the bot. it also needs to get out from under the thumb of the ps event/thread model so that adding capabilities doesn't require crimes-against-humanity levels of extra code in order to approach resilience
(trilema) Mocky: oh hey, never thought about multiple skill dings, I'll note
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: i've just started looking in charlotte recently lobbes. Other than passing on your resume if you're deemed worth, not sure a recruiter ever does anything on behalf of the the candidate
(trilema) Mocky: the resume gets me interviews. if I wasn't getting interviews I'd worry more about the resume.
(trilema) Mocky: nicoleci, thx. I get good interest from the resume so I can't blame that. Just gotta keep with the crank winding.
(trilema) Mocky: I might as fucking well
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, maybe it will in the morning. I need some sleep
(trilema) Mocky: I added it to my list hanbot. technically all my time is free time now, but it tastes like shit
(trilema) Mocky: I think my employability is pretty close to epsilon. I may end up removing asbestos for 18 bucks an hour. This is going to be a setback.
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881740 speaking of summaries, this summarizes my entire experience here
(trilema) Mocky: i have an interview over video momentarily
(trilema) Mocky: comfort with ambiguity
(trilema) Mocky: that's all i got
(trilema) Mocky: fuck you mircea_popescu !
(trilema) Mocky: just read the summary, got a chuckle. 'tis tru!
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: either that or "catalyzing an interconnected global tech ecosystem" lol
(trilema) Mocky: subj company apparently has quite healthy growth rate. my guess is they are trying to undercut the bottom tier 'coder' segment
(trilema) Mocky: in other 1024 chickens, http://archive.is/d8ypc#selection-445.0-577.9 "High-performing distributed engineering teams with African talent"
(trilema) Mocky: it smarts
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: i've thought about brushing up on my ebonics to troll some interviews. show up in brand new nike airs and NBA jersey, use gangster analogies for everything while talking computer science like everybody knows that shit
(trilema) Mocky: for bonus points, train a black chix to be specialist job applier
(trilema) Mocky: plus many adverise remote to begin with
(trilema) Mocky: tru, but once they want you, some will allow remote. They've got to fill those recs by the end of the quarter!
(trilema) Mocky: i'm past most of my frustration with it now, noticing their weaknesses. if you can code A* on a white board in 10 minutes with no errors while talking intelligently about their beloved frameworks, then not hiring you would be a struggle
(trilema) Mocky: anyway, I don't think specialist job applier is all that hard to do. tech companies are ripe for being gamed
(trilema) Mocky: advice wise, i'm happy to accept help. action wise, I'll take the action
(trilema) Mocky: doesn't appeal
(trilema) Mocky: not looking for help to solve my own problems. I'll solve and then contribute solutions to other problems
(trilema) Mocky: nothing personal!
(trilema) Mocky: when I look deeply enough into my pockets I see hunger about 6 weeks away, and my phone getting shut off and so I look for the closest solution at hand
(trilema) Mocky: no mr. recruiter I don't have experience with Docker, as fun as that sounds
(trilema) Mocky: brb, recruiter call! pfft
(trilema) Mocky: but i'm totally down to give it a try (after employed). it's gonna be hoot!
(trilema) Mocky: my concern is that often it takes me a year to build an accurate enough mental model to be able to solve problem which prompted the lamp rubbing in a reasonable time
(trilema) Mocky: in the past I've given serious consideration to arbitraging out my own secular tasks to indians or whathaveyou
(trilema) Mocky: relatedly, i haven't even applied to remote jobs yet. hand cranking through local options still
(trilema) Mocky: why, cuz so many extra hands?
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-12#1879959 painfully slow from my pov, got three phone interviews coming up but not on the calendar yet cuz peeps taking time off. a bunch more that I'm waiting to hear about.
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-11#1879752 Just bill me for my hosting, one year plz
(trilema) Mocky: good morning mircea_popescu
(trilema) Mocky: hell no, 25yo boy has a donkey in his head that won't stop kicking
(trilema) Mocky: enjoy it, 35 is a man's prime. I ought to know, I'm in my second decade of being 35!
(trilema) Mocky: happy birthday!
(trilema) Mocky: also i still need to finish baking these last 7 Qatar blog posts I wrote up
(trilema) Mocky: damn, 3 days actually. I think I lost a day somewhere
(trilema) Mocky: I feel lost tho, 2 days behind in the logs, no idea what's going on :D
(trilema) Mocky: Expecting to get phone interviews with labcorp and lexis nexis scheduled soon, along with a bunch of unknowns
(trilema) Mocky: It's coming along, I'm toughening up. I have a couple dozen new recruiter emails this morning and I only want vodka before I start answering and not hollow point so progress!
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: ah, dunno
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-30#1876406 I won't get a chance to look at this until signed up with new daily bread overlord
(trilema) Mocky: "The other address has one notable transaction which is sent from 1JEWSxAgGhSFuNPHUAr13zftNLjYt5wZaS and 1MoSSaDDSStrRo53YjPaGcXiABAXfYuvEL. A dust transaction, it was confirmed in block 551895."
(trilema) Mocky: The U.S. government cannot ban Bitcoin addresses" http://archive.is/jwoB9#selection-1777.0-1793.48
(trilema) Mocky: "Still, a total of 6-7 transactions had been sent to the addresses by time of writing, some with intriguing transaction details. For instance, this transaction has an embedded message:
(trilema) Mocky: is it just me or does that look like baltimore?
(trilema) Mocky: I got my first "so burned i'm peeling" in 2018, 3 hours on motorcycle in tank top mid day, late june.
(trilema) Mocky: as long as I still had kids at home, never tried to get out
(trilema) Mocky: i can't even complain, i ended up with exactly what I wanted as a 20yo, "write software, have a lot of kids"
(trilema) Mocky: in truth i do feel like idjit for being old man without the brains to have saved anything. i don't even have a workshop full of shit like asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: I interviewed with a job once that offered "unlimited paid time off" but inside reports were that anyone who tried to use was instantly on the shit list
(trilema) Mocky: haven't seen it with my own eyes, even then
(trilema) Mocky: reminds me of "20% time", "work on your own projects on friday since we know you'll be doing that anyway"
(trilema) Mocky: the only activity in life that makes me understand why people turn to the bottle
(trilema) Mocky: i'm convinced this whole ecosystem of outside recruiters is 100% byproduct of startup "investing" that props up the illusion of "high growth" companies that burn thru cash by hiring people so they will qualify for more money
(trilema) Mocky: this is why i worked for the same company for 14 years, i hate this shit. but also what made me soft target for their betrayal
(trilema) Mocky: so many damn recruiters. they're like mosquitos in a swamp. they all want to 'have a call' and then 'a skype' 'see if you'll be a good fit'. ugh. two years out of college with a degree in hr, you're gonna decide if i'm worthy to be submitted for a job, and then pressure me to take low ball offer.
(trilema) Mocky: "74 applicants last week" heh
(trilema) Mocky: looks like Roger Ver's bitcoin.com is looking for java and js developers for their mining team http://archive.is/MlomS
(trilema) Mocky: "must be open sores contributor, love python 3" what's next? "line cook, must love toasters with cancel buttons"
(trilema) Mocky: blockchain engineer is a job title now?
(trilema) Mocky: these jobs requiring 'clearanced' is actually quite handy, easy filter criteria
(trilema) Mocky: cisco's hiring 2 miles down the road, "Colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco #GIS #SDx" good luck with that, lol
(trilema) Mocky: so many of the jobs out there want secret government clearance now, jeez. who do they think they are kidding with their super secret shit
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo re wires #1 and #2 that I sent: #1 came back 'cancelled' after 3 days, #2 went to 'completed' after 1 day. I retried #1 (less 1 dollar) and it now is 'completed' after 1 day. BingoBoingo can you verify if actually arrived at bank?
(trilema) Mocky: trinque, is there anything wrong with my pending withdrawals from a few days ago or do you just need to hand crank em?
(trilema) Mocky: bum rush
(trilema) Mocky: BingoBoingo, will do if needed
(trilema) Mocky: he used to be my boss. secretary of defense when I was driving tank
(trilema) Mocky: before leaving for qatar I sold your 2 coins and then my own coin.
(trilema) Mocky: yes, those 2 turned to cash in person
(trilema) Mocky: in fairness, absorbed 2 coins choked on third
(trilema) Mocky: north carolina
(trilema) Mocky: I can see quite clearly now that it was very stupid
(trilema) Mocky: I went through all the people in person I could find
(trilema) Mocky: extremely valuable object lesson
(trilema) Mocky: i would have been ok too, I moved the money. wouldn't have cried over a burned bank acct. but after a month I thought I was good
(trilema) Mocky: right. yeah was close to two months if not 2.
(trilema) Mocky: it was "zelle", us bank cartel's answer to paypal/venmo
(trilema) Mocky: I sold my coin for bank-transferolade and I thought I had mitigated the risk but 2 months later transfers got reversed
(trilema) Mocky: so anyway, i would totally do burma. but I have such a mess here of my own making that I couldn't even afford to feed myself burmese rice while there, much less lodging. So what then, go completely on mircea_popescu's dime? is that really desirable?
(trilema) Mocky: my opinion changed about asians. I chatted with a bunch of actually cute asians. and it wasn't even like, "weeks in this female wasteland and now asians are starting to look good." That was the africans.
(trilema) Mocky: not really that often but I was expecting qataris to express a higher level of indignation at foreigners flouting their strict conduct rules. but in actuality not even possible to achieve eye contact
(trilema) Mocky: one beautiful thing I notices was that old busy bodies can't even give you a dirty look when their face has to be covered.
(trilema) Mocky: I, evidently, sat on a girl bench at a mall that had one girl 30 feet away. was asked to move by security guard who pointed me over to 30 foot bench full of dudes
(trilema) Mocky: well I totally got used to it, except for on sub 5 foot chix... it looks like a halloween costume on a kid and there's no way around it
(trilema) Mocky: like 65yo granny needs that level of 'modesty'
(trilema) Mocky: a lot of the time i was thinking, "pretty sure you look better covered"
(trilema) Mocky: but didn't realize that was serious
(trilema) Mocky: im current!
(trilema) Mocky: but next time with driver's license and gold crown
(trilema) Mocky: anyhow, a+ experience, would do again
(trilema) Mocky: seems less like proof and more like testimony of "i looked hard but didn't find"
(trilema) Mocky: I don't feel bad about it, or regret or anything like that. I'm happy with the whole thing. It just doesn't appear to me as success.
(trilema) Mocky: well that's success for you! I was looking for something and turned out either not there or well hidden.
(trilema) Mocky: the latter
(trilema) Mocky: over there, every day was like a new out-of-comfort-zone experience and all the work involved asking "wtf should I best be doing right now?" It was exciting even though I don't see success along any dimension except personal learning.
(trilema) Mocky: but those who were draped in black, covering the eyes as well with some see-thru black cloth: i never got used to that, always felt disconcerting and I don't know why. not like its that much different
(trilema) Mocky: i kind of got used to seeing what few chicks there were draped in black with only eyes showing
(trilema) Mocky: like, "holy shit, chix walking around in yoga pants and short shorts.. how could I have forgotten that these things exist?"
(trilema) Mocky: being in qatar where so many things were different.. I never really missed home, but once I got back everything felt so familiar all of a sudden. I don't really know how to explain it.
(trilema) Mocky: the cold season is a more difficult transition than normal. In a way I sort of do miss the heat.
(trilema) Mocky: good morning asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: my first born has regular side income selling old servers and hardware fished from his work dumpster, sometimes asks me for help loading when loot pile is especially big
(trilema) Mocky: was kid asciilifeform hanging out in dumpsters or went in specifically for a chip puller?
(trilema) Mocky: I've used online-convert.com, has an option for OCR but I haven't tested that. https://document.online-convert.com/convert-to-txt
(trilema) Mocky: ty mircea_popescu
(trilema) Mocky: I'd appreciate it, I'm not in a position to turn it down as much as I'd like to
(trilema) Mocky: anyway, I'm putting in 80hr/week interview prep as that's my bottleneck, plus as many more hours as I can cram in before it shuts down
(trilema) Mocky: ok, looks good
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, you were going to get a reminder from me tomorrow if it hadn't gone thru by then.
(trilema) Mocky: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo thing is still in progress and not distressed. but you'll have to !!v if you want the remainder to proceed http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-09#1870491
(trilema) Mocky: most of my savings was lost to my own idiocy, and my other stream of income has been delayed
(trilema) Mocky: it was good until all my plans went awry. Had planned 3 months of normal living off savings to find a new job. unexpectedly I'm in immediate need of income and acute rationing / mooching off family has already begun
(trilema) Mocky: thx asciilifeform, been off grid a few days
(trilema) Mocky: took the bike out for a spin. had to bundle up, bit of cold shock to my system
(trilema) Mocky: another 9 hours of sleep. now I feel like I'm back to life
(trilema) Mocky: good morning asciilifeform
(trilema) Mocky: ok BingoBoingo sounds good, i'll keep you apprised
(trilema) Mocky: slept another 7. not feeling fully normal, but at least not exhausted anymore
(trilema) Mocky: asciilifeform, I was almost a III but my mom won that argument
(trilema) Mocky: i think i'm going to fal backto sleep now
(trilema) Mocky: hard pills to swallow, but i'm going to have to choke down the php and the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-22#1865105 because I don't want to spend the time to bake the actually moving pieces
(trilema) Mocky: no bloghack, lacks the normal actually useful things
(trilema) Mocky: of course 'smart toasting' was the opposite of smart
(trilema) Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-08#1870186 >> I had a toaster with cancel button a few years ago was just this. Once you add the 'feature' of smart toasting whereby turning the knob after toasting has started has no effect and then once you further add the feature that the lift handle is mechanically locked down and can't be lifted during the cycle, then yes, once you accept those things you then 'need' the red button
(trilema) Mocky: just waking up now from 7 hour nap. it's mid morning back in qatar, where's the sun? :D
(trilema) Mocky: my flight left at 1am local time and I wasn't able to sleep on either flight. was up for 42 hours
(trilema) Mocky: I arrived back in usa
(trilema) Mocky: alright, lol
