snsabot: Logged on 2021-04-05 23:04:51 verisimilitude: I think measuring speed may be best done by making a brief video.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I've been following that guy on twitter. Had a spat with one of the dork web dweebs.
verisimilitude: I really hate seeing anything about these startups being given billions while unprofitable, because it reminds me of how the Lisp machine companies were allowed to die.
verisimilitude: It's awful to read an ARM press release about partial-memory safety in hardware and know they're a band of liars poorly-reimplementing the past.
verisimilitude: Still, MicroSoft doesn't face punishment when its software fails; no, the FBI attacks the ``criminals'' instead.
verisimilitude: Yes; it occured to me lately that Cloudflare, et al, have just centralized a distributed system; what a shame this is enough to cut off oxygen to the real thing.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-12-16 14:53:05 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: upstack -- imho it is worth understanding why well-designed, simple, and functional systems remain obscure, while perl/cpp/microshit 'wins'. if more sane folx understood the basics of the underlying civilizational decay which powers this process, would die of cirrosis less often and overall happier imho
Aerthean: I've found asciilifeform's notion of "the bottle" waiting for every honest engineering type a very real fear. Most days seem spent tilting at windmills, fighting intransigent bureaucracies, sitting in pointless meetings that waste inordinate amounts of time, and dealing with broken artifacts.
verisimilitude: I'm unfamiliar with this, but presume this bottle holds soothing spirits.
verisimilitude: Also, hello, Aerthean; I don't recall if we've had a discussion before.
verisimilitude: My prime struggle is with the machine and its terrible software, not yet others.
Aerthean: @verisimilitude Hi Verisimilitude, I've followed the log but haven't said much recently, life etc.
Aerthean: I've been in the work->gym->home or gym->work->home loop, and it's an uphill battle to do more technical work at home. As you mentioned earlier about failing self-imposed schedules.
Aerthean: Unfortunately I currently live in an apartment.
verisimilitude: It's been days or weeks since I've had a good hacking session, but I know what I'll do once I get around to it.
Aerthean: Ah, I do a fair amount of different stuff, usually alternating between more olympic lifts / other barbell work and gymnastics.
Aerthean: @verisimilitude Technically yes. I bought a domain via nearly free speech and have it hosted at Linode.
Aerthean: There's nothing there, I use it more for hosting files for myself.
Aerthean: Sadly yes. When I leave my current technical job in Academia I might start posting.
Aerthean: I've got to run, and won't get a chance to reply to anything until later this evening.
verisimilitude: Say, asciilifeform, I may purchase a new machine, likely a laptop, soon; be there any recommendations for me?
shinohai: verisimilitude: an attempt to add mETHereum features to Bitcoin.
shinohai: What's hilarious to me is 2+ years on and thing is basically still in the vaporware phase.
shinohai: (I'm not entirely convinced what is available now would actually work for 'em)
Aerthean: So is it more of a "marketing" press release? "We're going to do this thing, really, honest! Now give us money!"
Aerthean: Then proceed to the "I'm sorry for your loss" playbook when it doesn't work out
verisimilitude: I wonder if I should consider buying a Chromebook, and if I could meaningully
verisimilitude: I wonder if I should consider buying a Chromebook, and if I could meaningfully disconnect one from the Internet.
verisimilitude: I've never considered such before, but I just want a machine which will actually work.
verisimilitude: Every Thinkpad I've owned has developed serious hardware issues.
verisimilitude: It's exhausting; I want a machine without a fan that can fail, for one.
