ben_vulpes: holy shit does browser positioning fail to respect the right hand rule?

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'd certainly rather feed racoons with food taped to my body than figure out how to position elements relative to each other
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i would rather feed racoon with own meat.
asciilifeform: than take any part in wwwistic miseries.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: What about just positioning them relative enough?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can you speak to why ada's usgenesis shouldn't set off klaxons?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-03-2016#1440527 << because motherfucking 1980?? or if you prefer, because it's an ancient gcc frontend? or, if neither satisfies, because its the only compiled lang with knobs to ease binary auditing?
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2016 08:32:09; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can you speak to why ada's usgenesis shouldn't set off klaxons?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ada sucks in 1,001 ways, but unlike every other known non-c, introduction of mystery meat layer between the source semantics and resulting binary is not one f them. which unfortunately makes it the ~only~ sane choice for critical realtime system.
asciilifeform: (i considered and rejected ml and haskell for this reason. go and explain how they work! can spend a fucking career on that. ick)
asciilifeform: (the other choice, if trying to escape from ada, is to ditch the c-machine silicon, but i just checked my sofa cushion and still did not find a spare $10m in it with which to do this.)
asciilifeform: incidentally, gnat is actually written in ada. and is quite readable... (in as much as such a thing can be called readable)
asciilifeform: i've been struggling with my gag reflex for > year now, the language is pascal-ugly. but ~there is no sane alternative~ known.
asciilifeform: because items like 'no overflows, fuck off', 'standard and rationale books', 'i can compile this by hand', or 'i can saw the binary open in ida and it is pretty clear what chunk of asm corresponds to what line of src' are NOT NEGOTIABLE.
asciilifeform: the ~total unavailability of derplibraries (~no open-sores 'ecosystem') in ada land also has a cleansing effect.
asciilifeform: sorta what common lisp looked like circa 2000 or so.
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-03-2016#1440538 <<< spoke briefly to mod6 about gnat, still trying to wrap head around ada

asciilifeform: no 'aggressive mayogendered' as far as the yes can see...!
asciilifeform: shinohai: it's a misery, i must warn.
asciilifeform: using the language really feels like 'penance' for lifetime of bug-creation in c/cpp
asciilifeform: it is aggressively programmer-hostile in 1,001 ways
asciilifeform: no 'cleverness' permitted.
asciilifeform: !s idiomatic c

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: believe, if i had another, tastier antidote, i would say. but until then, we will drink this castor.
shinohai: "JGNAT is a version compiled from the Ada programming language to Java bytecode." <<< srsly?
asciilifeform: shinohai: nfi.
asciilifeform: never even heard of such.
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall a dark age jvm backend for gcc, perhaps it turned into this.
shinohai: That looks gross, no thanks.
asciilifeform: anyway who exactly frces you to use weird backend.
asciilifeform: jvm dun exist on my planet.
asciilifeform: on a happy note, appreciate how much ~aggressive sanity~ is baked into ada. it is routine, for example, to program ~without a heap~ !
asciilifeform: as in, motherfucking constant-space.
asciilifeform: (you ~can~ use heap. but its presence is not presupposed by the language constructs.)
mats: lol penance
mats: the masochism is real

jurov: ah that. had to look 3 times to get it.
BingoBoingo: Maybe it is more common for you to see men use RIGID brand drill presses to accomplish even the most humble hole drilling tasks?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
davout: kakobrekla: tyvm
jurov: BingoBoingo: actually having rigid drill ready in the corner can be much more convenient and timesaving compared to affixing tiny bits to be drilled to chairs, even if not used often.
jurov: my brain just repeatedly rejected the notion of anyone using it that way
BingoBoingo: I'm just kind of surprised this sort of overtooling isn't a big thing in bear pin up art.
jurov: eh, bear pin ups are complete with just a firefighter gear
jurov: lmao i saw even one proclaimed "a lumberjack" cuz of the axe
jurov: so...anything beyond chainsaw is too nerdy for bear pinups
BingoBoingo: hearing this I am disappointed more is not made of the innuendo possible from playing with the idea of big tools
jurov: nudity + power tools = uncomfortable feeling
jurov: it exists, but not mainstream
