Voting ended 13 June at 0:17. New blogpost by @wingo: "On Hoot, on boot" https://wingolog.org/archives/2024/05/16/on-hoot-on-boot Lots of interesting things about Spritely's Hoot Scheme->WASM compiler in here! Spritely Goblins v0.13.0 is OUT! More powerful than ever, it includes a whole new persistence system and, long requested, easier more goblins'y IO! https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-goblins-v0130-object-persistence-and-easier-io.html Distributed programming has never been so cool! But there's more to say about this release... (cotd) @cwebber You can also now enjoy guile-goblins 0.13.0 on macOS! brew install guile-goblins Yo there's a new release of Spritely's Hoot Scheme->Webassembly compiler... v0.4.0! https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v040-released.html And this one, yes, at last includes user-defined module support! But it's also way better in terms of debugging, disassembly, and like a bajillion bug fixes, not to mention call/cc...! Scheme in the browser, it's happening!!! Every now and then I'm screensharing with someone and they seem impressed by my srfi-9 record yasnippet Here it is, if you want it: https://github.com/cwebber/cwebbers-emacs-config/blob/master/yas-snippets/scheme-mode/record

Software Freedom Conservancy (@conservancy) has raised over $132k but still needs $29k left to make their annual fundraiser. There's only 6 days left... if you have funding to give and are open to supporting them, it's definitely an organization that puts that money to very good use! A couple of years ago I helped @conservancy with their fundraiser and actually made an *animated ascii art* program. (They also mailed out a physical postcard based on this design!) You could telnet in and watch it thank donors who contributed that year even :) Fun fact, it ended up being an early test program of Spritely Goblins! In Unexpected Places is OUT!!! GO SEE IT!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88JUfWLJJ5g https://share.tube/w/k6zcRg7zbR1BRvuedseTGZ This music video features hot beats from my girlfriend @vv and is animated by me using #Blender and #greasepencil! Action packed and more of an emotional journey than you might expect! Go watch it! Tell us what you think! Prescheme!!! It's got a website and everything now! Awesome. https://prescheme.org/ We're very excited to put out this blogpost about OCapN, the underlying network protocol which powers Spritely Goblins' mind-blowing distributed object programming tech! https://spritely.institute/news/introducing-ocapn-interoperable-capabilities-over-the-network.html But OCapN isn't just for Spritely Goblins: thanks to a generous grant from @NGIZero, Spritely engineer (and fellow co-author/co-editor of ActivityPub!) @tsyesika has documented how it all works! OCapN is in the pre-standards phase but thanks to this work already includes not only the core specifications, but also a test suite and an implementation guide! We've already seen a Haskell implementation which passes the test suite for the parts it implements... we're excited to see more! @cwebber this is amazing!!! I have a pet project of a network of “virtual tamagotchi”s that run on raspberry pi’s, communicating over MQTT. I’ve always wanted it to have meshing capabilities, this would be perfect. Spritely at MIT! @dthompson and myself presented at MIT's Open Learning Salon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg5oqYQttS4&t=2120s And guess what? Gerry Sussman was in the audience!

@cwebber @dthompson The fact that you're on a nickname basis with prof Sussman is both surprising and not surprising lmao :blobmiou: A space shooter! Written in SCHEME! In your freaking BROWSER! With code by @dthompson and artwork by me!! And you can play it RIGHT NOW in a nightly browser! (Be sure to use a *nightly* build) Play it!!! (in a nightly browser!) https://davexunit.itch.io/strigoform

And of course, if you were wondering, why yes, this was written using Guile Hoot https://gitlab.com/spritely/guile-hoot And of course it's free software, you can go get it and compile it right now if you like! https://git.dthompson.us/autumn-lisp-game-jam-2023/ @cwebber @dthompson does that include nightly *mobile* browsers? (oh wait, I uninstalled FF Nightly Mobile recently due to spurious daily updates. Let me reinstall and check for you) Edit: it does if you use an external bluetooth keyboard! GET READY! It's just about time for the System Crafters live stream about Spritely's Guile Hoot! With special guests from the Spritely Institute!!! https://youtube.com/live/Vd9zooWMOsM My favorite operating system / distro (It's the Guix logo, for those who don't know!)

@cwebber what would you say is the best way to dip one's toes into guix? This looks so different from the linux distros I'm used to. If you like this version of the Guix logo, I put the Blender source here: https://dustycloud.org/gfx/goodies/guix-logo.blend CC BY-SA 4.0, just like the logo it's based on! Maybe I should write up my "how to get a CS education without getting a CS degree" blogpost at this point @cwebber ask a uni student for their timetable then just go to all the lectures yourself for free? I never got asked for ID to go into a lecture theatre and there's so many students you'd never be noticed anyway. :blobfoxdealwithit: |
@cwebber
It's like a decentralized, asynchronous email network for catgirls.
Oh wait...
Christine, please, stop making fun of my mansplaining!
@cwebber it’s bupytivitca spelt backwards!
@cwebber yes.
