mircea_popescu: so instead of buying the originally discussed sealed box http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786922 and all that, what i get is ad-hoc aglomeration of parts. some of which were even out of custody for a weekend ?

mircea_popescu: which is what happens while you sleep, all those receptors are cleanned up of the debris of having been shot into, and the dendrites that did the shooting are reloaded.
mircea_popescu: the process of neurotransmitter exchange DOES produce undesirable leftovers. receptors need time to re-metabolize the leftovers of a shot, and bring both the receptor and the things signalling into it to optimal potential.
mircea_popescu: however this does not mean what he thinks it means. brain function is principally the result of neurotransmitter exchange, not simply neuronal mithochondria oxidation (it's true that muscle function is fully described mitochondrially, but this is simply because muscle function is simpler)
mircea_popescu: his idea that muscular fatigue results from the dual oxidation style, and that the brain doesn't have it, that it only burns glucose and it only burns it completely is correct ;

mircea_popescu: "luciri de lampadare" takes all the caek.
mircea_popescu: imo much better than the baez original, specifically because it's the same pantsuitism (tho for all the bonus levels of involuntary lulz one actually needs fluent romanian)
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "traffic" and other web 2.0 lulz, https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/namesakeoscilloscopemarquis.com
ben_vulpes: 'tis more or less what i had, but inapplicable to a bag of parts. the three new-in-box drives plus the expediter's fee plus a honking pile of taxesnfees-that-aren't-IVA was the bulk of the bill.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ben_vulpes next time, turn the damned things on for half an hour, covers off, so they suck in some dust also.
asciilifeform: i'm half convinces that ~every d00d, whether admits or not, owns at least a speculum
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as he says, they're not actually useful other than symbolically. but symbolically AND HOW
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 13:13 mircea_popescu: intel thinking at the time being is, "have the paperwork for mbs and chips in slot 1 ; paperwork for disks in slot 2 ; for ram in slot 3. then if asked for papers, present slot 1, offer to pay, whine and ask for discounts, etc. if that dun pass, add slot 2, whine more insistently."
a111: Logged on 2018-03-14 04:50 mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'm such a fan of crescent wrenches i actually keep them around as art objects / use them idly while walking around the house as sceptres, gesture with them and so forth.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not "a chance", it's a virtual guarantee. were you there and pissed they'd have pushed you though apologetically.
ben_vulpes: they've always been my "wrong tool for every job"; i'd rather have a set of deep sockets in pretty much every situation.
mircea_popescu: i've had it for a year, afaik never used yet for anything in the vein of its intended utilities.
mircea_popescu: "french wrench" in romanian, an they kick ass.

ben_vulpes: i halfway suspect that nobody had ever looked inside that cabinet until BingoBoingo; maybe arrived from the boat preassembled even, to dimensions convenient to assemblers and not users.
mircea_popescu: why were the posts too far for your rails!
ben_vulpes: i think i will take the avuncular head-pat
mircea_popescu: and check out ben_vulpes ; he actually knows the terms of art now. been doing some reading ?
mircea_popescu: but i lolled at the fbi check through interpol. "send me an aba wire through sepa!"
hanbot: <ben_vulpes> womxn is the new word in other linguistic backflips << why, has the average one gotten so large you can't tell whether or not she's a plurality?
mircea_popescu: oh, don't forget the send-off, "if anyone had shot at mommy, THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN RAZED DOWN!!!! but since i could find no record of it happening..."
ben_vulpes: complaining bitterly to any mother who might be nearby is how oregonians do everything
mircea_popescu: "A few weeks later, one of the Smithfield rebels was caught in Eugene trying to buy supplies, and arrested and lodged in a jailhouse. Word spread quickly, and a lynch mob soon had assembled to lay siege to the jailhouse. But the rebel, who had hidden a tiny penknife somewhere on his person, put up such a ferocious fight that vigilante justice was delayed long enough for the sheriff to arrive with a posse, and soon the mob was
mircea_popescu: choicest bits : "Staunch Unionists in Eugene were outraged. They did not, however, feel outraged enough to brave those grim-faced Smithfield sharpshooters in an attempt to do something about it. So instead, they complained bitterly to every authority they could reach: the sheriff, the state legislature, and yes, the federal government in Washington, D.C."
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha check out the hysterical history of pantsuitism! http://offbeatoregon.com/1502a.rebel-flag-over-oregon.324.html
trinque: if she doesn't want to wait, eventually there will be a way to transition a classical gentoo box forthcoming, since I'll be doing it to my own.
trinque: she was building the thing evaluating it for her own use. still can, but will need a revision from me, which I'm working on.
mircea_popescu: trinque how's you giving things the needed looks hold up anyone ?
mircea_popescu: and in other western lulz, http://offbeatoregon.com/1501c.how-to-rob-trains-with-blackie-duquesne.html
trinque: rather than accept the insult and add tape, I lean towards basing the thing on busybox and pulling this and other redundancies out.
trinque: diana_coman: regarding your cuntoo build problem, net-tools upstream has apparently broken build on default gcc-4.9.4. If I pass -std=gnu99, the definer of IFNAMSIZ is included and the thing builds.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-12#1787737 << most of the serious trouble is when chunks of mud come sliding down. especially if a road's included.

a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 06:14 phf: i think there might still be a bunch of cool stuff like that hidden in your themes, that's not in wp-mp
spyked: now, the question is whether all wp themes use the <div class="post"> bit to wrap the title and the content. when modifying the theme, one should make sure the [content goes here] part in http://trilema.com/2015/that-spiffy-selection-thing/#selection-112.0-120.3 has this.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-13 20:08 spyked: yeah. but for some reason I couldn't figure why it doesn't activate the #selection thing at all with this optimization. must be that the page layout is different. there was a thing that trilema did, hm... /me rereads http://trilema.com/2015/that-spiffy-selection-thing/
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787759 <-- a-ha, mystery solved! Trilema has a <div class="post"> child to <span id="shash-...">, so that portion of the script selects it when the child is not a text node (the nodeType==3 bit). thetarpit DOM tree is flatter and doesn't wrap the content in this additional div. NB, will keep it mind should performance ever prove to be an issue.
asciilifeform: ( i'd even dare to rule out the 'shown the instruments' hypothesis, given as their crypto per se was a joke from day1. but asciilifeform was interested in re the voice codec. turns out -- open problem, to this day. )
asciilifeform: meanwhile in log-archaeology, http://btcbase.org/log/2014-09-19#836087 >> subj www still alive! but no one ever saw working device; according to authors (last post 7 july '17..) they never found an anti-gsmlossiness algo that worked worth a shit.

spyked: mircea_popescu: in scrollToHash and the onmouseup callback there's this call: recur(content.childNodes[content.childNodes[0].nodeType==3 ? 1 : 0]); <-- for some reason I couldn't get this to work, so I changed it to: recur(content); which should walk through all the children in the DOM subtree, not just childNodes[0] or childNodes[1].
a111: Logged on 2018-03-13 12:59 trinque: I believe it's more or less established by this point that the solution is to have a history file that's edited by patchers if they care that their patch isn't abandoned.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787748 << just about, yes. i wanted a model file so we have something to play with and the original concept was to have phf include it in his v tree of his v rewrite because it seemed the first item that's coming out at the time from l1 hands ; but if it's holding you back re tmsr-portage, go ahead and make the sample yourself and we'll see how it works.
mircea_popescu: spyked "the original script doesn't always pass childNodes[0] as a parameter" << whoa, where is this ?
