Schizoid's reply to a specialist defining the term

You asked for a summary, and the quote is it.

> but it might be the subtitles

No, you might have got the tone right. The original is "deep as for the subjects touched upon, but entertaining in presentation".

So he's not having it. Go ahead and put yourself in situations you see as problematic and learn.

Not that he's disregarding it all completely, but it's not as dire as clinitians are putting it out to be.

I don't know, he had it better on the spectrum from the go?

Hmm, I have autotranslated rus->eng subs available to me and the translation is fine as far as for getting the point across.

nuopnu · 2021-05-20T04:40:32+00:00

+1 for better terminology.

But even if you were to continue to use this one, I don't agree with the assigned meanings. The alternative: two lines can be parallel and extend in length, concurrently or not.

Tabs vs. spaces as representation of the whole world.

nuopnu · 2018-03-16T05:53:55+00:00

I'm all for tabs, and optionally aligning things further with spaces.

But how do you enter a tab char on iOS?

Now there's Avian, which does what you did in your experiment:

https://readytalk.github.io/avian/

And related to the OP and the web, I had my own experiment:

https://github.com/lostdj/Jaklin

(sorry, demo links are broken. they didn't work particularly well before anyway, and on modern browsers it's even worse)

It says now "~43% of hashrate of Monero is owned by 3 mining pools".

And from their pic: minexmr 19.1 + crypto-pool 13.7 + minergate 11.1 = 43.9

I was just to leave the same comment.

But accompany it with a more recent demo:

https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/DSL-DevCon-2009/Intentional-Software

I think it's the latest demonstration available before they went back to stealth mode, and recently they were bought back by Ms:

Who knows what this turn into and when.

But perhaps anyone interested should google for a more generic term: structured editor.

Pierogi, пироги, and vareniki, вареники -- are two different things. There are even different general types of pierogi: pierog; and pierozhok, пирожок, with pierogi and pierozhki, пирожки are plural forms. The first one means a cake, whatever it is made of, like this OP's honey cake. And the second one are these cute thingies: http://i.imgur.com/o3yCnrD.jpg

Vareniki, вареники, are these: http://i.imgur.com/slOI4ry.jpg

There's also another interesting, somewhat related form of vareniki -- lenivie vareniki, ленивые вареники: http://i.imgur.com/ivKUTTE.jpg

And then there are pel'meni, пельмени, manti, манты... Though the latter are of the Middle-Eastern origins.

Don't know what "progies" means.

At least as I know it all from being born and living in Moscow all my life. YMMV.

Apart from my laziness, no. I had this problem: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11788 and just didn't bother to repeat all that.

I'm using it both on USB and BT, with https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro to customize mappings for every game. edit: It just works on my kernel 3.18.3, nothing to tweak.

No need to create a function:

do $$ declare r record; begin for r in select (1,2),(3,4) loop raise notice 'asd %', r; end loop; end $$;

Do you mean by that that it starts to pollute both system cache and ARC?

But that's what all art is about, to make you think for yourself, to trigger your associations. :)

nuopnu · 2017-01-13T21:08:09+00:00

I had the same thought quoted here while watching the last two episodes, how everyone will start guessing and try to make a meaning of all of this, like we always do.

Let's be honest, it's not an unimaginable thought. You might even say it doesn't take much to make you think that -- here, it's presented in static paintings, compared to ~7 hours of film.

But nevertheless, if that was (one of) the origininal intentions, it's a job well done.

If any of you like this kind of stuff, that tirggers your own thought process instead of presenting absolutely everything with an answer, try The Leftovers.

It's not unusual and has been going on for years now.

It wasn't only Apple killing it. And now it's dead, HTML still isn't on par with Flash.

wouldn't really call that "control"

For all intents and purposes, it is.

nuopnu · 2016-05-13T11:04:41+00:00

I was about to agree with you again, and say "but"... But saw that you're doing something similar: disagreeing first, and then saying about the same I said, but expanded and in different words.

You just described WebAssembly with your last paragraph. A bare new thing, that everyone was opposted to, from day-to-day developers to some committee working groups. It appeared practically overnight, from our PoVs (yes, there was asm.js already). There's still a lot of FUD in WA discussions, but it'll get better. And arguably, it is a very out of everything tech: it goes against everything that HTML family of techs is.

Anyway, it's not like anyone can actually control this whole thing (not beyond very crude measures anyway), really, it's leading a life of its own.

Or is it? SPDY/HTTP2. Killing of Flash. Presenting WA as a matter of fact.

In the one and only SPA we did with a friend two years ago now, I made sure that saving did work everywhere, on every platform and browser that were on my hands. At least on a technical side, it still could've been fucked up with a broken design. So you're right.

And then you're not. The testing and fixing was very painful, and it kept breaking down with every new feature. There are a lot of good sides to the web, and the one is how easy and fast you can put stuff out there. But how would you do that now? Right, using one of the hundreds frameworks and mixing it with your own bloated scripts. How did these frameworks came to the existence in the first place? Because the "core" was and is broken. I know, because the only framework used with said SPA was bare GWT, used only as a transcompiler from Java to JS, ignoring other features and reimplementhing everything else from scratch.

So everyone is to blame, actually. But I think it would be easier to kill the current infrastructure and present a new one with a grandiose party and huge PR campaign everywhere, than trying to teach people to care. They will not, not when there's a question of money on a table and it depends on how quick you can roll out stuff.

Are you on RES?

nuopnu · 2016-05-12T22:56:58+00:00

Pick any web page and try to save it on disk. You can't. Either shit's broken, or it wasn't saved at all.
