davout: jurov: tl;dr?
jurov: sorry it's scanned...asciilifeform what ocr do you use?
jurov: tl;dr: it corrupted every civilization that touched it, back since crusades
davout: sugar is eval, better switch to cocaine amirite
jurov: i enjoyed the tidbit about coca-cola being a criminal organization since 120 y ago (as decreed by US judge, it got largely ignored)
davout: evil*
davout: well, eval is also evil
jurov: and not diabetes, but psychical disorders and other problems are correlated with refined sugar/white flour/white rice intake
jurov: *but also
jurov: dude has new age/yin/yang slant but most information is sourced
jurov: basically, capitalism is fueled by sugar addiction, instead of removing sugar we "invent" cures that can be sold - again this is known but to what degree and how long ago it started!

jurov: adlai read it. asians who ate brown rice were completely fine. until the "invention" of white rice
adlai: it's a rather inevitable progression, the only sure way to avoid it is to learn from those who didn't
jurov: it also got me sceptic about other addictives, like easy credit... we can avoid it individually, mirea can even have his hangings... but barring planetary catastrophe
jurov: the civilization will just get addicted to more and more stuff
adlai: too much money, too much sucrose... so we blaze across the petri dish, gobbling up agar until we smack into plastic
jurov: and then invent expensive 'solutions' to side effects
jurov: i more deeply comprehended why mircea disdains "progress",it's eloquently explained there
adlai: i'm not sure the thing being fueled here is capitalism. i want to say consumerism, but it seems more towards consumptionism, packaged and sold to the consumer as consumerism

mircea_popescu: so now tell me a little more about ddos and basic bojums and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: the simple point of fact is that the kids are idiots. not some of them. all of them. the class arrives already thrown, and nobody can be arsed to put their foot down/
mircea_popescu: so they just hire the scum, and hope and pray. and hey, if the customers are displeased what ever the fuck, it's "best business practices", ie, "all the other shops intown are hiring from the same group of perambulating monkeys. you want these shoes or not ?"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how come 'Russia is no good. What else you got' ?
mircea_popescu: what ddos ? what anything ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform elemetary i was going to turn down his first babble.
mircea_popescu: you ever been in a negotiation before ?
asciilifeform: sure. was wondering if this.
mircea_popescu: yes, this.

mircea_popescu: <DianaComan> heh, I have some coming to me to figure out some Maths really - about 50% run after a few lessons complaining that it is too hard and I'm happy with that
mircea_popescu: so, yeah. the herd has won through the age old tactic of "we'll just stick together". because you thought that unions and "collective acton" was good.
mircea_popescu: it's not good. it's not even ok. it is HORRIBLE.

asciilifeform: sorta like american 'medicine'
asciilifeform: the 'unionize out of class' thing is horrifyingly real. in usa we have a custom of 'grade on a curve'

asciilifeform: 'Some data centers in Ukraine had a raid this week and we dont receive the information in time to set the offers out of stock.' << any idea if this is true ?
mircea_popescu: exactly. so what happens next ? a) they show up for work and b) the only work they can do is star in movies, where unfortunate thirld worlders suffer the horrible fate of having their ancestral knowledge passed down at great expense that "white man good, you scum" married to the fact that deep down in his entrails he feels like this is a great thing!
mircea_popescu: and so now you have the whole planet poisoned.

mircea_popescu: this myth that usians own cars is laughable.
asciilifeform: the linked article mentioned cops searching pockets and taking as little as 100 usd. and this was meant to provoke outrage, but typical reader quite likely went 'what kind of monster walks around with 100 bill'
mircea_popescu: how many usians under 35 own a car ?
mircea_popescu: their budget is < 500 bucks, which barely buys a bike.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many, but the car is typically a museum piece

mircea_popescu: they run the technical side, marketing has got to be wholesaled out.
mircea_popescu: punkman in practical terms ownership of capital goods is very messy. you think gm owns the equipment in gm plant ? as what, outright ? mno.
mircea_popescu: whether they bought their own box and colocated it, or rented a precolocated one from dc is a very fine point.

mircea_popescu: for one thing, most everyone works with a list of dc approved suppliers anyway.
asciilifeform: unlike a hydro plant, a dc is this thing that, at its practical minimum, costs what maybe 2 or 3 passenger buses do. serious corps run their own. most of my past employers had their critical infrastructure in some variant of own, non-leveraged in-house dc

punkman was interested in doing complicated gui recently, looked like slim pickings outside Qt
asciilifeform: there used to be 'wx' but afaik - dead
asciilifeform: if you want anything like native-looking gui, it's qt with gasmask, or nothing at all
punkman: yes reading qt docs makes implement-everything-yourself-over-opengl attractive

phf: punkman: it's really experimental technology. ~giant~ multilevel spec, implemented by a handful of enthusiasts. only worthwhile if you're prepared to spend large fraction of your time on improving and debugging the gui code itself.
asciilifeform: i think the technical term for this, is
punkman: klyemax
punkman: phf, confirms my suspicions, nobody actually makes apps with it, just masturbation
ben_vulpes: you call it masturbation, i call it a dalliance with what might have been.
phf: ^
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: go straight to the symbolics emulator for that
asciilifeform: (there even is a mac port, i have not tried it)
phf: punkman: it's a free version of clim, which is a standard. if you're trying to release actual applications on top of climacs your better bet is to buy a lispworks license and use their clim implementation
phf: *on top of clim
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i, like the fool i am, retain hope of putting lispy gui crud places, and so would rather burn the time hacking through mcclim than running the symbolics vms.
asciilifeform: phf: i can't fathom why any sane person would voluntarily use a proprietary compiler today
punkman: "intel makes my c++ goes faaaast"
phf: asciilifeform: i enjoyed working with lispworks team in the past. i don't think it's proprietary in the same sence as msvs or such. you have to buy into a relationship, but once you have a contract with them, they are accommodating. you can ask them for source if you actually want to inspect it for lizard hitler traces and compile it yourself
asciilifeform: i did this
asciilifeform: and still wouldn't do it again today.
asciilifeform: certainly not for a project with my name attached.
phf: yeah, i'm leaning that way myself, but i'm not fully convinced yet. i'm for example trying to build sufficient knowledge of cmucl right now, to be able to take full responsibility for the behavior of my deployed system, and it's a ~slow process~. it's handy to have paid professionals assist you
phf: i wouldn't even attempt to replicate the feat with, say, gcc
asciilifeform: why cmucl rather than sbcl ?
phf: the internals are more similar then not, and to fully grok sbcl you have to know cmucl anyway.
asciilifeform: i've arrived at the point where i believe any system where any such thing is necessary, to be braindamaged beyond redemption
phf: also there's less eyes on cmucl, i'm not at all convinced that the politics around sbcl are to my liking, where's cmucl is essentially abandonware. it generates code, it has a nice interpreter, the runtime is smaller, it already has treeshaker, it's got History, etc.
asciilifeform did not know about politics of sbcl

mircea_popescu: you snap out your camera, and take a picture of some objects in this room.
mircea_popescu: this is nice and good.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if i lean on the pile just the right way, whether you took the picture or not, they will fall down.
mircea_popescu: this happens irrespective of whether they ALSO fell down in your picture or not.
asciilifeform: this is true for everything in the universe other than software. where a picture IS in effect a second, identical pile

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the thing with js is like so : it has two eigenstates. js.1 is "well, kinda useful to do some tasks browsewr side". as exemplified by say the trilema text select thing. way cheaper to do that client side than server side. js.2 however is "deploy code you can update yourself". ie, no need to ask people to update it for you.
mircea_popescu: now, js.1 is how it's sold to users ; but js.2 is why it's appealing to business. and for a long time - really, as long as rsm seemed to have teeth - this appeared to them (understandably) as a required pontoon bridge to have, jic.

asciilifeform: what can be inferred from BingoBoingo's link is that reuters has bought into some software sc4mz0r's idiocy where there is, presumably, a proggy which claims to distinguish between jpeg that was crapped out by a camera vs one that was downconverted from 'raw'
asciilifeform: (the latter being a bitwise dump of raw ccd output)
