-*- coding: utf-8 -*- BartholomewJS ​Greetings, everyone. Xah Lee ​greetings bartholo Jos ​Good evening... ZitronCrazy ​Hey Xah GrinDeg ​Hi Xah and chat Xah Lee ​xahlee club on discord. https://discord.gg/QYFcqNT Derek A ​morning BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I hate you for promoting Discord... BartholomewJS ​@Derek A Greetings. BartholomewJS ​Discord also officially supports giving all your data to the NSA, for free. You don't even have to pay for that. dipi ​greetings, ladies and gentlemen BartholomewJS ​Greetings, @dipi , nice to see you. dipi ​and you BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Do take more time to form your sentences, this helps in avoiding repetition, etc... nybo ​My emacs config is coming along. Have some question though. Related to emacs and other BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee i.e. lower the speed of your talking. nybo ​No greetings for transgender??? sexist! dipi ​as a Ruby fan, for repetition I write: loop { print 'bla ' } 😃 This message is held for review. BartholomewJS ​@nybo I sexually identify as trans pronouns ignorant. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee "There is nothing I can do about it." Why are you so nihilistic? Be more flowery. dipi ​🤔 BartholomewJS ​@dipi Do you use Python for anything? dipi ​I used to. Recently I tried Jupyter, pretty cool BartholomewJS ​@dipi I was hoping you use Ruby as a replacement for stuff, others use Python for. BartholomewJS ​@dipi I don't like Python, at all. dipi ​If Ruby didn’t exist, I’d use Python for everyday scripting BartholomewJS ​@dipi You into 2.7 or 3+? dipi ​I don’t like Python’s version problems (using both interchangeably), its use of ":" and underscores and »self« amd … BartholomewJS ​@dipi I personally would use Julia, if I would be using Jupyter. Still working on learning this hot b****. 😂 BartholomewJS ​@dipi Same. And I have many more reasons. dipi ​These days I try to like Rust, but it’s tough BartholomewJS ​@dipi I personally think that Rust is the absolute C buster. It is in my view just plain better than C. dipi ​It is, but you have to indulge the harsh compiler david conner ​how do you find out your name comes up on *-chan posts? BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I use the web and it does not happen, because I am conscious of what I use. Recently, I switched to my own Nextcloud instance. How am I selling my own data? BartholomewJS ​@dipi Having seen how to compile C code, there is no worse compilation process for any language that is similarly famous as C. dipi ​hehe, I can commiserate BartholomewJS ​@dipi Rust is not as high on my list of languages to be learnt, so it will take a couple of years until I get into it. But I definitely support people already using it for security and performance BartholomewJS ​@dipi critical stuff. dipi ​I wish Rust success — within Firefox source base, it already has david conner ​the social media platforms evolve faster than people can establish norms about how to use their features nybo ​ok, what is a hook? BartholomewJS ​Wow, I'm special. 🌟 Welcome to live chat! Remember to guard your privacy and abide by our community guidelines. dingo dingeroo ​we know dipi ​a syscall hook, @nybo ? Like hooking into system calls like a debugger/profiler? BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee After setting up the instance, I was inspired to write at least one app for Nextcloud. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee It basically is like a cloud, where you save all your stuf.. Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Files, Monitoring for your servers, external server access, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.... BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee But it is your own cloud. Not some proprietary sell-out stuff. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I saw that it costs about 2k a year. dipi ​ouch nybo ​Also, what was watching one of your videos, the 天涯歌女 one. I found a post related to it, but it was so long. Can you talk about that article BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Bizarre opinions from you is one of the most fun and interesting parts of each day. dipi ​agreed BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I don't think you have poor arguments. I think you are sometimes extreme about some and emotionally invested, but your arguments aren't poor. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Maybe often bizarrely or unluckily worded, but the arguments itself aren't poor. dipi ​assembler == general purpose 😈 BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee General purpose programming languages need to have many features and they have to be very flexible, to account for as many use cases as possible BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Which in turn means, that some general purpose languages are just really bad or inefficient for extremely specific and unlikely tasks. dipi ​Lisp’s macro system is still pretty unique nybo ​@dipi i am copy pasting some things into my config, and i see the keyword "hook" used alot. Things like "add-hook" and "after-init-hook" dipi ​I see, so those hooks allow you to add your stuff to certain actions dipi ​BigNum data type == never having to worry about overflow errors again BartholomewJS ​@dipi Like git hooks?= Scott Bilik ​Hi Xah, dipi ​<-- not familiar enought with Git to know git hooks Scott Bilik ​Just had to stop by for a short spell to mention how my youngest son and I love how you call the session a "Live Scream". BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik 😂 dipi ​Symbolic solving of equations, that’s Mathematica. Anybody remember Graphing Calculator that came with Mac OS 7/8/9? It could do wild things as well. david conner ​yeh but computer algebra is hard Scott Bilik ​@BartholomewJS Xah's "rants" are far tamer these days but I like the "scream" implication. ;-] dipi ​… only if you have no computer to help 😀 GrinDeg ​@Xah Lee anything new about Hong Kong protests? I wonder if something changed q5grQCiooVyTzx9 ​@Xah Lee Are you religious? nybo ​ok that might be controversial, but what is that song she is singing? david conner ​mata hari woo16202 ​that movie sounds really interesting. i'll have to watch it later dipi ​💚 green Chinese dress in that poster BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee should wear this dress. dipi ​😊 woo16202 ​lmao dipi ​Nice Cheongsam nybo ​LOL, i related to that, ok i will read it dipi ​in my experience, gender is orthogonal to trustworthiness Scott Bilik ​SJW's become SJFH's 😀 in @Xah Lee lingo. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee 1 Yuan into the swearing jar. david conner ​lol @BartholomewJS BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik Exactly. 😂 dipi ​who killed who now❓ dipi ​Google plus was such a pain in the butt Scott Bilik ​It annoys me that the Average Joe never got the hang of using some type of RSS reader to "follow" your friend's blogs but instead want to just head to Twitter/Facebook/etc. BartholomewJS ​@dipi Is. I still hate when they merged my YouTube-only account with Google+ crap I NEVER EVER used in all these years until it finally shut down. dipi ​exactly, @BartholomewJS BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik Same. dipi ​@Xah Lee Do you use RSS, and what are your thoughts about it? Scott Bilik ​@BartholomewJS I liked knowing that my content was mine and not subject to arbitrary filter/algorithms of a third party. BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik @dipi Still remember the old YouTube slogan "Broadcast yourself"? There is a reason, they have removed it... Scott Bilik ​While I'm interested in RSS clients or self hosted solutions for reading feeds, I still am lazy and use Feedly for following RSS. BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik I am planning to set up selfoss since about a year... dipi ​I just use SeaMonkey Mail as RSS aggregator Scott Bilik ​The thing about 4chan is that while folks use mostly offensive language, everyone knows it doesn't mean anything. But use something mildly offensive on Twitter/Reddit/etc and you might lose your job. BartholomewJS ​@Scott Bilik And blocked on Twitter, while SJW n*z** are endorsed. BartholomewJS ​*banned dipi ​meh, Twitter is too much noise anyways BartholomewJS ​@dipi Way too much. dipi ​ah, the Ziffernsystem, I know that BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Never seen it before. dipi ​my piano practice books had them; later changed to standard notation dipi ​🍺 Prost! ☕ Scott Bilik ​Still here until 2:30EST dipi ​prost = cheers = skøl (from Germany, right) This message is held for review. dipi ​Zum Wohl! (== German for »your health«) nybo ​skål* pls dipi ​oh ok ✔ dipi ​»xah-make-atom-entry«, nifty! dipi ​very nice — thanks, @Xah Lee Scott Bilik ​@Xah Lee I think the question might also be What You Use for following RSS feeds ?? BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I can answer a couple of questions on Nim,. david conner ​it's not really based on real events though david conner ​PTSD Scott Bilik ​PTSD BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee SJWs get PTSD from leaving twitter too early in the day. david conner ​yeh i deal with stuff like that too dipi ​D as in disorder BartholomewJS ​@dipi Being an SJW is having a disorder. dipi ​<-- all for social justice; doesn’t get the »warrior« bit 🤔 david conner ​lol @dipi exactly BartholomewJS ​@dipi American "social justice" has nothing to do with German "social justice" a.k.a. Soziale Gerechtigkeit. Gantz akira ​lol i made that TOPC Gantz akira ​TOPIC Gantz akira ​on /q Gantz akira ​/g dipi ​TempleOS and its creator; that would be a whole ’nother show Gantz akira ​i think you could replace him ... Scott Bilik ​While @Xah Lee and Terry are both unique characters, I don't think they are at all similar. dipi ​sure hope so Scott Bilik ​The only thing that might kill @Xah Lee is "coffee milk" poisoning. Just kidding Xah... 😉 dipi ​»the Unixboo phase in technology« LOL dipi ​Linux is the worst OS… except for all the others 😛 dipi ​@Xah Lee How expensive is fast internet in the San-Fran area❓ Scott Bilik ​'Tis almost 2:30pm EST here. Have a mtg to attend. See you guys some other day... dipi ​see you, Scott ZitronCrazy ​bye Xah dipi ​oh, costly; I pay 25€ for 50Mbit/s BartholomewJS ​@dipi Which ISP? dipi ​o2 (formerly Alice DSL) BartholomewJS ​@dipi Your connection is ancient. dipi ​oh well Xah Lee Say something... 0/200
