Tue Jan 12 03:57:09 UTC 2016 <phf> asciilifeform: i think numerics is a truly dodgy tradeoff. it took me until quite recently to grok that "character code == ascii" or "character code == unicode codepoint" are not the only two possible interpretations.

Fri Jan 08 19:32:49 UTC 2016 <phf> i recently talked to a 15 year old, who told me that 2015 was more culturally significant then all the years since 1970 combined, he then proceeded to name things that happened in 2015 that i've never heard of. i said "excuse me" and walked away, but i still can't grok it.
Thu Dec 31 02:03:13 UTC 2015 <phf> although guy reminds me of some of the programmers who immigrated to germany in the 90s. same ???????? ?????? combined with ????????? ??? ??????, ???! mentality. i still don't quite grok how these self-proclaimed non-conformists turned into such dull bourgeois post-collapse
Wed Dec 16 01:35:02 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> you don;t properly grok how the ustardian mind works. you see, it's gotta be meta to be real.
Sun Nov 29 15:46:23 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> this, trumpists/trumpets deeply grok.
Thu Nov 19 19:58:57 UTC 2015 <phf> the internals are more similar then not, and to fully grok sbcl you have to know cmucl anyway.
Tue Nov 10 23:12:05 UTC 2015 <phf> asciilifeform: right, i'm not arguing your original statement, just trying to understand this part of thread. if i wanted to grok electrodynamics, can get scan, or easier to just walk to friend and get landau of the shelf. doesn't matter that he has millions of other books, or that there's an archive of book scans somewhere. mp's point seems to be that the activity should be treated as tomb raiding either way, rather then "i have a
Sun Oct 25 17:37:48 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> and to grok the true sign of luxury : i have an auction in eulora in 20 minutes. which i woke naturally for.
Sat Oct 17 20:36:04 UTC 2015 <phf> (the program is at the end and worth the study to grok the meaning of the word "hack" before perl corrupted it)
Fri Oct 16 00:48:40 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> its not that i suspect the holy grail is spirited there. i just don't grok what it does is all.
Wed Sep 30 19:14:45 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> mircea_popescu i believe i grok the first list - straightforward enough really, compile those on 'social media' on 'our side' and focus their energies accordingly - it's the second list i'm less clear about.
Tue Sep 22 14:05:17 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> (and yes is what i mean by savage/monkey, and no it's not an easy point to grok, and yes i did have this as a term paper in my naked girly school once and so sure, imagine myself with the whiprifle looking down on your efforts if it helps)
Mon Sep 21 16:48:35 UTC 2015 <thestringpuller> i guess I don't fully grok ascii_field
Tue Sep 15 14:20:39 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> somehow this point is very hard to grok for the DKs.
Sat Sep 12 19:07:49 UTC 2015 <phf> re heaviside i don't grok how he could work in a hot room
Fri Sep 04 00:49:44 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> so let's see if i grok this, somebody is to indict, e.g., warren buffet, or clitler, over spam sent by some anonymous schmuck ?
Tue Sep 01 04:35:01 UTC 2015 <phf> which wouldn't be a problem in a traditional c code, but in case of gnupg half of the code seems to have hidden, side channel concerns, that i just don't have yet enough experience in practical crypto to grok
Tue Sep 01 04:13:39 UTC 2015 <mod6> well, the 2 i just mentioned come last. is there any reason on the sort order of the last 2? or i just need to grok toposort more?
