Sat Feb 28 02:52:34 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i've historically been a skeptic of 'provably' whatevers, because the required furniture, in my experience, never failed to interfere with 'fits in head' - and the promised are often overblown

Tue Feb 17 02:06:13 UTC 2015 <decimation> 'fits in head'
Mon Feb 16 04:56:18 UTC 2015 <decimation> asciilifeform: I suppose that if one really wants an os written in ada that 'fits in head' - one should write it himself
Sun Feb 08 20:14:35 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> what part of 'fits in head'?
Tue Feb 03 19:58:00 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> but the only proper spec is a) actual spec b) fits in head c) because was created by actual person
Mon Feb 02 02:01:25 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform 1 because allowing two ways to do things never killed anyone and 2 probably because i want to see the stuff. i suspect it's a derivative of the general "fits in head" principle.
Sun Feb 01 23:43:47 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> (meaning equal to 'fits in head')
Wed Dec 24 03:09:09 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the principal thing-not-to-do is complexity that prevents fits-in-head
Sun Dec 21 02:46:16 UTC 2014 <decimation> yeah it's a good point. there is a vast difference between 'source is open, could read' and 'design is obvious, fits in head'
Wed Nov 26 20:21:44 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform incidentally, i think i may have made a breakthrough here. your idea of a "program that fits in head" and my displeasure at the backwards way linux has been going have a common spot.
Sun Nov 23 19:00:09 UTC 2014 <kakobrekla> anything that fits in head?
Fri Nov 07 02:45:44 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the seeds of rot are in any deviation from 'fits in head.'

Fri Oct 31 04:12:45 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> not fits in head - ipso facto not well written
