kuzetsa: I dunno, it looks like woodchipper fanfic to me
kuzetsa: though I don't understand fanfic well enough to know if woodchipper is even a real fandom

mircea_popescu: it goes in the usual manner.
mircea_popescu: basically the problem here is this : penicilnecks, that is to say people who could not support their own existence with their own means (hence the fragile neck reference - needs support) can either be techs or politicos. obviously both of these are competence-based fields, and so while reality is a continuum nevertheless we can broadly distinguish the noob tech and the noob politico from the expert tech and the exper p
mircea_popescu: olitico respectively.
mircea_popescu: now the story here is that while both kinds of tech are actually useful and employable, neither kind of politico is. the expert politico doesn't need to be employed, of course, but that's not doing much for the vast majority of noobs, wanna-bes and untalented hacks populating that field.
mircea_popescu: so, learn from the experience of ninjashogun and a dozen or so other nameless, meanwhile forgotten fucktards that were beheaded in this chan : you're not good enough to earn your keep as a politico. not here, not ever.
mircea_popescu: forget it, be a shitty tech instead, that's still a living.

decimation: asciilifeform: I always wondered about the rather large population of fortune tellers in Maryland. I'm glad that the state is regulating them to make them 'ok for you'.

lobbes: "As they watched the bonfire die down, they asked the DEA officials to estimate the value of the marijuana they had just burned. The reply: half a million dollars. The farmers had to laugh. The value of the corn that had been cut down to grow it? $32" << heh, I wonder how many farmers just keep the plants
BingoBoingo: I have to imagine it can't be a non-trivial number
decimation: re: sabu/fbi irc chat << fyi, if you are a 'hacker' and someone tells you that they can 'hack NATO', you are being played

asciilifeform: decimation: logs << yes
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yes, they want to replace init.d scripts with a hearn-style binary turd. surprised ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A bunch of Distros have already made the transition. The surprise is people are just now bitching about this.
asciilifeform: yet another... hearnia.
asciilifeform never saw them, never will see
assbot: Last 4 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/26JE3QF.txt )
BingoBoingo: Hearnia probably ought to join the vocabulary
BingoBoingo: Any any painful techical change causing by ignoring the idiots long enough for their shit sacks to escape into the inguinal canal.
TheNewDeal: beautiful
asciilifeform: good news is - now choosing a linux distro is easier than ever before.
asciilifeform: (and choosing a bsd - easier yet.)
BingoBoingo: Indeed
asciilifeform: all those things that confounded the novice, like the piles of hay confounded buridan's donkey - aren't 'choices' at all, after all.

BingoBoingo: I mean seriously, who wants to run a *nix laptop and not play with runlevels
asciilifeform: this isn't about the aesthetics, either.
asciilifeform: this is about microshit and usg (but i repeat myself) finally making some headway in dealing with the 'final solution' to the escapees from wintel 'problem.'
asciilifeform: there is a concerted effort to replace certain things with... various other things.
decimation: asciilifeform: I take it you are not a 'systemd' fan?
asciilifeform: howd'you guess
decimation: I'm not sure it's as conspiratorial as you make out, 'people want' to have their systems boot quickly
asciilifeform: what's inherently slow about init.d ?
BingoBoingo: decimation: No I want fucking control over how my system boots! And I don't want fucking dependency hell because I want my system in runlevel 4!
decimation: exactly the dependency issue. If you "know" what your system depends on, you can parallel-boot multiple processes simultaneously
assbot: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA « IgnorantGuru's Blog
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is not just about depriving you of knobs to turn. the hearniators must clear some ground to emplace their hearnias - this requires demolishing some very well understood, traditional widget, so that it -must be replaced, dontcha know, it's obsolete-.
decimation: I think there's also some 'me-too'-ism with secure booting off the tpm module
asciilifeform: ah yes, the old fritz chip.
BingoBoingo: As notated in the logs from April - May this year after my scrotum's previous brush with illness and danger, the surprise Hearnia would be a most unwelcome guest.
decimation: after all, wouldn't you like to tie your boot process with opaque silicon?
BingoBoingo wonders if anyone here can recall when Mac OS machines stopped shipping with "resedit"
decimation: BingoBoingo: pre-bsd mac os was a turd
BingoBoingo: decimation: But is an intimately knowable one. OS 7 lives!
decimation: somehow there's motivation in the 'linux' world (by that I mean redhat) to make the OS 'go away'
decimation: so that you can just spin up multiple http/db stacks simultaneously
BingoBoingo: It's amazing how much though that could have been the case in LISP machine world.
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
BingoBoingo: But instead people want Java world
decimation: what about LISP written in Java?
decimation: today I was trying to wrap my head around C++ std vector libraries
BingoBoingo: decimation: The Problem with Java is it denies the existence of Hardware
decimation: I was amazed that anyone could think that it's a great idea to give up control over your software using templates written by some committee
asciilifeform: decimation: these weren't designed for the comfort of the user - any more than electric chair was
asciilifeform: sizzle in comfort or on bare iron - not for the long pig to decide.
decimation: I was thinking about your point about how these languages put the programmer in 'jail' by separating 'language' and 'code'
decimation: it made me unhappy to be programming C++
BingoBoingo: It is amazing though how quickly the long pig can "go feral" in the wilderness, much like its namesake.
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!

mircea_popescu: X-Rob so you take delight in the disabilities of others ? i see how it is.
BingoBoingo: xanthyos: That's an interesting take. I didn't really have much background on the stuff when I started sitting on the now apparently defunct #BitcoinBarron chan
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: lying and stubborn headedness isn't a disability.
mircea_popescu: if that isn't a disability, i dunno what is :)
BingoBoingo can tell it is statement season because the logs are so thin. I guess it is a consequence of so many things going on
TheNewDeal: statement season?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i'm beinf facetious for the fun of humiliating they absent third parties that believe in form and formalism.
BingoBoingo: Form is useful to a point, but by the time you take it far enough to add -ism it's gone too far.
mircea_popescu: form in itself is never useful.
mircea_popescu: form as used by they with a lot of substance isn't even form per se anymore.
mircea_popescu: me killing dopey-popo-plus being a fine example of exactly this.
BingoBoingo: Well form must always exist as a +1 onto something else to be useful.
TheNewDeal: form and function are quite useful tools for analysis . anatomy teacher used to preach it in secondary school
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Form and function aren't "things" though. Function is a requirement and form is a structure for implementation.
TheNewDeal: form is an abstract thing
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> mthreat how did the exclusion clauses work in search agai ? // the minus sign excludes terms, e.g. wheat -chaff
TheNewDeal: for instance if you looked at computer code you could ask. What does it accomplish (what is it's function?)? and How did it go about doing that (in what form?)?
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: Well, right. You can't give me pyramid, though you can give me pyramids or a pyramid.
assbot: A complete theory of economics pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: mthreat aty!
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal there's a difference between form as you use it and form as used before. yours is the result of everything spurious being taken away, it's the form of livingthings chiseled in a million years of predition and ovulation.
decimation: mircea_popescu: so you aren't a Platonist?
mircea_popescu: the other thing is a convention, the result of nothing but spuriousness.
mircea_popescu: decimation indeed not, how could i ever be ?
mircea_popescu: what gave it away and what made you think that in teh first place
decimation: hehe I didn't. but you aren't a fan of Aristotle either?
mircea_popescu: in parts. contrary to what the european hordes thought, aristotle holds not the answer to everything,.
decimation: In your urban v. rural article, you mentioned that the surveillance state is "feminine thinking". what do you mean by that?
BingoBoingo: The first giant red flag I experienced about grad school in philosophy was that a classmate existed such that they claimed to be an absolute Berkely/Hume Idealist
decimation: BingoBoingo: what was your classmate's theory on the Observer who animates the cosmos?
BingoBoingo: decimation: I don't remember if I ever knew. You just kind of tune someone out after that.
mircea_popescu: decimation it's a large topic.
decimation: I get what you are saying about the cost of information storage and processing being nearly infinite, so it's a foolish idea to begin with. My guess at the "feminine" part was that this bureaucracy imagines it can comprehensively exercise control over the world without a face-to-face confrontation.
