You are so many - a whole three countries - but where is your unity! You have everything your own: much land, energy, fuel, water, science, industry, culture.

dulapbot: (trilema) 2014-03-24 asciilifeform: ow, because of our folly, nationalism, unwillingness to hear each other - Yugoslavia is no more, and we - are now pimples on the political map of Europe, new markets for their overpriced garbage and for American democracy.' (- from the last interview given by Slobodan Milosevic, not long after he was 'accidentally' given the wrong heart meds. Translation mine.)
signpost: "new markets for their overpriced garbage" << hear hear.

signpost: putin mentioning earlier that he asked Clinton how the American public would react to them joining NATO was illuminating.
signpost: effectively "they won't care one way or another, but we can't have another great power in NATO"

verisimilitude: Well, I used BONIOR in a sentence, only to later learn the proper form is MELIOR. I figure this is the manner of mistake a Roman child would make; oh well.
verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-02-19#1079981 This works, I tested, but it's not clear to me it always works; I quite like the little trick I used for mine, using the correctness of one to prove the other.

verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-02-19#1079983 My machine text representation will help. I like to imagine a forum based around it. Imagine how much nicer it would be to have a machine-level understanding of which messages reference which, built out of commands and not syntax which can be typed incorrectly.
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-02-19 01:24:13 jonsykkel: parsing indeed sux which is why in future when i have my own planet there will be auto enforced death penalty for breaking rule that data shud stay in machine format until displayed to user
verisimilitude: Perhaps most importantly, consider the forum communicating to the client with normal messages that aren't parsed to divine meaning; consider this: new code: 29
verisimilitude: However, consider a system where those two words and their trailing punctuation fit in two thirty-two bit words; consider that the system wouldn't parse them, but simply know of the message ahead of time, and compare verbatim templates for the context until it determines which one matches; consider that new code of 29 isn't a number to be parsed, but inlined in the message as a known number.
verisimilitude: Lastly, consider that what I've shown is merely how the message could be displayed to a human. The only disadvantage here is the inability to change message text, not that it would be a great loss. This is a true format for intercommunication, trivial for machines and with no parsing, yet able to be displayed to a human without issue.
verisimilitude: These characters have been recycled from another conversation, but I'm not certain anyone would wish me to link it here.

verisimilitude: I like how the first comment concerns how the article triggered a thought-terminating checklist that had the reader lose interest.
verisimilitude: He even called it the ``outside view checklist''.
verisimilitude: Progress marches ever onward, so it's never ever ever the case that only a small group of people be right; if it be not found in (SYMBOL-PLIST BIG-CORPORATE-MEDIA) then it won't be worth thinking about, clearly.

crtdaydreams: half-truth.) I would put forth that ``designing'' a proggy is far more foolish, as evident by the existence of this. Of course it's arguable that it's muh standards fault. But in all practicality, the limit for design appears to be the number of datastructures one can understand and utilize. Taking on a different definition for
crtdaydreams: design though, one more oriented towards a creative process. One can definitely see the need for a different way of thinking, as a programmer you have the capabilities to make wonderful things if you change tack from thinking about how to flip bits to how you want an abstraction to behave. Design is not about drawing DFDs or changing a <div></div> element to be centered. I can't
