nubbins` mircea_popescu i recall at one office job, my boss' boss' boss was getting a promotion, and so called all 120 programmers into a boardroom, 30 at a time, to explain about his new responsibilities but nothing will change for the rest of us [12:39]
mircea_popescu right / [12:40]
nubbins` guy stole 120 hours on the company. a month's work. when an email woulda done [12:40]
nubbins` this is what meetings are [12:40]
mircea_popescu so why wouldn't you answer the phone. it's more like a boring highschool class than a meeting. [12:40]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: people just hang around << i find this is because people lack focus during the meeting. You stay on topic until someone mentions something off topic. "Blah blah blha pink floyd" "Oh you like pink floyd?" 30 minutes later you realize you're still talking about a 70's rock band and not about that thing you're supposed to be meeting about. [12:40]
mircea_popescu no he was being proactive and communicaty or whatchamacallit. [12:40]
nanotube NewLiberty nezZario nijotz nubbins` nullB [12:40]
nubbins` yeah [12:41]
nubbins` doing his due diligence on a go-forward basis [12:41]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller lack of focus lack of schmokus. it's because they're impotent. they know they're impotent. [12:41]
mircea_popescu what else to do ? [12:41]
nubbins` mind you, this was the head of IT [12:41]
nubbins` "how do i get my sound turned on?" head of IT [12:41]
* nubbins` shudders at memory [12:41]
nubbins` incidentally, last monday was my 2-year anniversary of retirement [12:42]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: what else to do ? << learn to concentrate better instead of being a fucking child? [12:42]
nubbins` folks: "any regrets?" me: "not doing it sooner" [12:42]
PeterL get better co-workers? [12:42]
mircea_popescu nubbins` turned on as in, sexually ? [12:45]
nubbins` turned on, as in i wanna hear the angry birds smash the pigs [12:46]
nubbins` it was at this job that i realized just because you work as a computer programmer, doesn't mean you know even the basics of what computers are and how they work [12:47]
nubbins` "right-click and copy that" "what?" [12:48]
nubbins` "o.O" [12:48]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 137950 @ 0.000404 = 55.7318 BTC [+] {3} [12:52]
nubbins` chetty plenty of amoebas floating around in the upper levels [12:56]
pete_dushenski "The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service) today announced that Pay.gov, the government’s secure web based collection portal for payments to federal agencies, now offers both PayPal and Dwolla as payment options." << from a few days ago. [12:56]
nubbins` once an incompetent worker reaches a certain longevity, their dismissal is tacit admittance that they've been fooling everyone all along [12:56]
nubbins` so rather than facing "yep, we've let this dead weight collect a cheque for 15 years" [12:57]
pete_dushenski ^"please don't use cash for anything ever because only bad people use cash" [12:57]
nubbins` they just give 'em a different job in another department [12:57]
nubbins` which, if it didn't accompany a pay raise, would engender the same line of questioning as a dismissal [12:58]
mircea_popescu nubbins` pretty much has it. [12:58]
nubbins` eventually they learn their way around enough that latecomers can easily be fooled into thinking that the variety speak is representative of skill, not imitation [12:59]
nubbins` "who, alex? he's been here longer than i have! knows the place inside out!" [13:00]
nubbins` but all of alex's projects are always fucked up and late [13:00]
nubbins` usually due to "external factors" or "changing requirements" [13:00]
mircea_popescu the problem essentially is that specialist groups do need a variety talk, however "politeness" combined with that results into a lot of nooks and crannies where alex can hide. [13:01]
nubbins` absolutely [13:01]
mircea_popescu it's not coincidental that all successful specialist groups are irreverent. [13:01]
nubbins` when a large, once-profitable company suddenly goes belly-up or massively scales back, you can expect to find a high percentage of alexes on the payroll [13:01]
mircea_popescu you can also expect to find the last time someone made fart jokes publicly @ the expense of people present buried under at least a decade of history. [13:02]

mircea_popescu that cap agricultural benefits thing is uniquely misguided. [14:32]
mircea_popescu "rich" does not mean what the poor imagine it means. the notion of running a farm on 26k subsidies a year... heh. [14:33]
mircea_popescu here's the thing : just because inflation has made every pauper think he holds money doesn't change the fact that a farmer today is worth a hundred million just by simply maintaining equality with a farmer of relatively the same social importance back in 1615. [14:34]
BingoBoingo Or they've surrendered in some cases to being a form of sharecropper. Depends on what and where they farm as well as how daddy ran the business [14:36]

asciilifeform 'There is just one set of rules that are effective and widely deployed: those that enforce the destruction of the natural world. Buried in the cross-compliance regulations is a measure called GAEC 12. This insists that, to receive their money, farmers must prevent "unwanted vegetation" from growing on their land. (The rest of us call it wildlife habitat.) Even if their land is producing nothing, they must cut, graze or spray i [14:54]
asciilifeform t with herbicides to get their money. Unlike soil erosion, compaction and pollution, breaches of this rule are easy to detect and enforce: if the inspectors see trees returning to the land, the subsidy can be cut off altogether.' [14:54]
BingoBoingo "But M855 has well-documented shortcomings against soft targets (see Somalia, Iraq, etc.) The other common loading, M193, is more effective against soft targets. So the side effect of this ruling would be that more AR-15 owners would buy rounds that are more effective in the typical domestic shooting. The only people this rule change protects is the government, whose varmints wear Kevlar." [14:54]

asciilifeform 'For the fact is that being inside a whale is a very comfortable, cosy, homelike thought. The historical Jonah, if he can be so called, was glad enough to escape, but in imagination, in day-dream, countless people have envied him. It is, of course, quite obvious why. The whale's belly is simply a womb big enough for an adult. There you are, in the dark, cushioned space that exactly fits you, with yards of blubber between yours [19:28]
asciilifeform elf and reality, able to keep up an attitude of the completest indifference, no matter what happens. A storm that would sink all the battleships in the world would hardly reach you as an echo. Even the whale's own movements would probably be imperceptible to you. He might be wallowing among the surface waves or shooting down into the blackness of the middle seas (a mile deep, according to Herman Melville), but you would never [19:28]

asciilifeform 'Due to the well-known fact that all compilers have bugs, it is the conventional wisdom of the safety critical community to avoid assuming that the generated object code is automatically correct.

As far as practical, the review and test activities are undertaken at the object code level. Indeed, if the reliability req [23:08]
