Hello, /blog/. A thought just popped into my head and you all need to read about it.
What if someone (not me; I have better shit to do), set up a traditional BBS that required users to dial in, but had it used VoIP via google voice or some other free, mostly-anonymous service. Wouldn't that be neato. Further, full dialup internet access could be provided over the link. That would throw the NSA off for a bit maybe.
Well, off to bed.

>>38 Depends on what you mean by "hardware". RTL design and low level software design mean solving many of the same problems. FPGAs mean hardware is nearly as malleable as software now.
>>52 Haskell platform is big only because it includes 4 versions of every library.
- statically linked no profiling version - statically linked profiling version - shared no profiling version - shared profiling version
Every fucking library.

OK, I screwed up a bit. The 4 versions are:
static dynamic profiled GHCi
The GHCi version is just the static version linked together in a single .o file. The other three versions all have their own set of interface files (.hi files) too. The profiled versions seem to be about twice the size of the unprofiled versions (which is a bit suspicious, I should look into why that is).
Remember that GHC itself is a library, so you're getting 4 copies of GHC. Not only that, but the GHC binary itself is statically linked, so that's 5 copies of GHC.

It's half docs: du -sh /usr/local/share/doc/rust/ 254M /usr/local/share/doc/rust/
Most of the libraries have both .so and these huge .rlibs: 1.6M libregex-4e7c5e5c.rlib 312K libregex-4e7c5e5c.so

>>57 254M docs? What the fuck? Do they use html or something?
I wish there was a sensible way to put this into man pages but there isn't. The obvious alternative is infopages but that's about as user-friendly as a chainsaw buttplug.

why not just not be autistic and use bbs software and telnet like everyone else?

>>76 That sounds like a teapot, but it also sounds like a McDonalds franchise. I can't decide.
If you are a teapot you should be aware that I do not require the use of my hooch nor the assistance of children to chew your china, and other measures may be needed to prevent your destruction.
For what it is worth, I am not up to the task of destroying a McDonalds franchise with my teeth.

How would a service where you "fake dialing in" with a VoIP service be any differen than one where you just telnet in, and there are already too many of those, we need to unify as a community not create our own projects when identical projects exist elsewhere.
