asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that's prolly last 1 for a while, it's just about the limit of what can be done with the dentist 35mm film
asciilifeform: ( i suspect it aint the best 35mm film either, and the 'monobath' developer worsens the already pretty severe grain.. )
asciilifeform: the win was that it was fast -- no darkroom , expose the little enema-like thing it comes in, then manually masturbate it for min or so, wash, and scan.
asciilifeform bbl

BingoBoingo: And now the local news is in a panic about FISH! Pirannahs in Salto and "pez sapo" on the "angry beach" in Punta del Este
asciilifeform: in other hilarities, usg 'humanitarian convoy' set to break through vz border some time this weekend
asciilifeform: ( i.e. coupla-km column of trucks fulla ak & ammo )
asciilifeform wonders if that's where mircea_popescu went, to watch from front row..
BingoBoingo: Border with Brazil is closed, border with Colombia set to close.
BingoBoingo: Banco Bandes Uruguay (a subsidary of the Venezuelan Development bank) is still functioning normally.

mircea_popescu: hey there asciilifeform
mircea_popescu has spent the past two days @world's largest hotsprings, horseback riding etc, is now looser than an amateur's synapse.
asciilifeform: sounds like a++ day off from us glued-to-terminal snoarpeoples
asciilifeform spend 2d digging in tcc and a (sad) attempt at crystallography
mircea_popescu: also guile is an unmitigated (and unmitigatable) piece of shit, if memory serves
asciilifeform: it is ! it's the turd the gimp folx replaced ye olde tinyscheme with
asciilifeform: ( tinyscheme also pretty crufty but at least ~small~ )
mircea_popescu: pretty sure my gimp runs ye olde scheme not guile.
asciilifeform: well mine does. but i built in 2011
asciilifeform: nfi re nao
mircea_popescu: a yeah. this might be ... yeah, 2007 or some shit.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-21#1898554 << afaik was "desired" by the pantsuit core + amateur enablers starting maybe then, but that desire only became factual with 5 branch.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-21 17:11 asciilifeform: ^ is this troo ? cuz if yes, possibly we're on the 'wrong' gnat..
mircea_popescu: this afaik is weaker than concrete, tho.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my dig confirms
mircea_popescu: aok.
asciilifeform: did not find any hard-dependency on cpp in 4.9 other than when it builds cpp standard lib
mircea_popescu: that has to be there, yeah. might be some flag faggotry tho, i am foggy.
asciilifeform realizes that he never actually tried to build a gcc w/out cppism support. this really gotta be tried
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-21#1898560 << http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22suckless%22 turns out ~little and there's apparently no mention ever on trilema, yet it's firmly classified under cat-v in my head. wtf happened here, did we ever say hi or anything ?
a111: Logged on 2019-02-21 17:18 bvt: i have also seen a one guy at suckless complaining about this back in the day: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1605/28871.html
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc 'suckless' == cat-v
mircea_popescu: oh is it ?
asciilifeform: was their proj title
mircea_popescu: a ok then.
mircea_popescu: i was afraid i dropped a thread there for a moment.
asciilifeform: nope, it's the item mircea_popescu did full postmortem on, linked above
mircea_popescu: kk
mircea_popescu: see, i'm far from that fabled 100% foolproof etc.
mircea_popescu: stepped in something awful's wide open jaw with both feet, all i got in return was an "oww!!!" and so on.
mircea_popescu: there's really a lengthy list of these, "o noes, someone's fundamentally not as fucked in the head as us ?! O GOD SAVE US FROM SUCH HORRORS!!!"
asciilifeform: one might naively picture heathens would jump at 'i bring martian tech and +9000 strength of will' etc. but nope. 'we built a++ straw plane, cargo when'
mircea_popescu: all the way back to fucking 2014.
mircea_popescu: actually, do you recall those "business" imbeciles discussing "the superior alternative to phuctor" and "what to do in case of divorce" roth-blabla in the same breath ?
asciilifeform: most recently in july iirc
asciilifeform: 'mit phuctor'
mircea_popescu: was some other pos with some retard defending it in the usual terms of "not nice words" or some similar bs. aaanyways.
asciilifeform: aa that was in the catv dig
asciilifeform: didn't make it into the piece, but was in the chan
asciilifeform remembers this purely from head, but prolly there's a log somewhere
mircea_popescu: hmmm... i dun think so tbh, was a DIFFERENT set of these equally indistinguishable amateur shitheads.
asciilifeform: hrm. was definitely summer of '17 tho
mircea_popescu: #finance or some bs.
mircea_popescu: you recall, dude had meltdown over how his brain can't function with "fuckgoats" the string being involved.
asciilifeform: aha!
mircea_popescu: anyways.
asciilifeform recalls also pete_d's attempts to sell a 'rebrand' of fuckgoats somewhere

mircea_popescu: better freedom fight caracas than baltimore, in any case.
asciilifeform: same algo since, when, korean war, they have this 1 broken record.
BingoBoingo heard derp derp invasion 23rd rumors, but... no indications yet
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: guiado 'requested aid'; maduro banned 'aid' from border; the open q is, will shoot or not
BingoBoingo: Derpident also claimed power to order US military action
BingoBoingo: But shortly after Bolton started fussing about Nicaragua
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: supposedly whole usg orchestra, inc rooftop sniper brigade, already in colombia waiting for marching order
BingoBoingo: Declared Cuba/Nicaragua/Vzla new axis of "not listening to US"
asciilifeform: wtf even ~is~ in nicaragua other than 'don bigote, no mata el perro!'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Artisinal gold mining is a thing in Vzla. Typical haul of an artisan gold op there is 10 grams of gold per man-month
asciilifeform: klondike, eh
BingoBoingo: I've been waiting to drop that factlet into a blog, but there it is. One man month of hard if not particularly efficient work ~500-600 a month
asciilifeform: typical ex-sovok chip recycler nets similar
asciilifeform: (without even having to sweat on equator)
asciilifeform: e.g. the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896836 thing, iirc contains no fewer than 3g ~per~
a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 23:52 asciilifeform: in ru there are some decent microscopists ( not the 1 phf went to, but apparently others. ) for instance, very recently found that К1801 ( sovok 'pdp-11' single-chip ) was ~not~ in fact a photoclone of dec's (only the early '80s demo ver was!) but , turns out, entirely indigenous orc design, with coupla x ~fewer~ transistors and yet faster max clock
asciilifeform: (this is why they're rare -- and not because asciilifeform bought'em all)
BingoBoingo: A large part of what makes Vzla relatively VERY rich is... anti-malarials are a relatively recent invention
BingoBoingo: But these folks aren't even digging up whole river beds california style yet
asciilifeform: i suppose notion is, that they will soon, for chance at ticket to miami mecca
asciilifeform: and under whip of 'humanitarian experts'
BingoBoingo: Well, Miami may be Mecca but do Mangos grow in the streets and alleys?
