@akkartik Modal-native arithmetic operations, at last.

@neauoire I have no idea what you are doing most of the time, but it looks cool none-the-less.

The boat is now full of food!

Instead of doing one big supply run(friends often offer car rides), Dev & I do frequent grocery runs by bike. We've been doing this for a few weeks now.

We can carry a lot at once. A few days ago I had 12 kg of grains on my back.

Doing it this way takes more time, sure, but it permits us to go for a bike ride often, which is nice :> 🚲 !

Oook

@rek yes there is that myth that one would need at least a cargo bike to replace a car but you can already carry a lot with a simple rear rack rated for 25kg and decent panniers.

Add to that an hiking backpack, possibly a front rack or basket and you can carry even more. And it scales automatically with the people going with you, unlike when using a motorized vehicle.

L'école normale supérieure de Lyon a une mailing liste sur rewriting systems?! Et elle est active en 2024! Voyons-

France's throughput of funding weird computer science stuff is impressive.

So, it looks like @capital is the first person ever to implement game of life entirely in a string rewriting programming language.

Luci for dyeing

@neauoire @capital really? it seems a natural enough fit i’d expect gol to be the hello world of string rewriting

Conway's Game of Life in the newest version of #Modal. Takes heavy advantage of rule deletion to simulate a 2D grid.

@capital no way! That's awesome. The first GOL, is the rewriting fast? Does the undefinition operator cuts down on a lot of rewriting?

You know in science fiction shows and movies when they start up the alien ship it's all covered in super-intricate text and some of it is static and some of it moves in non-obvious patterns and it's clearly intended to be an alien langauge

in my head, from now on, it's all just orca patches, the source code for that particular part of the ship, for ease of maintenance and updating by the crew

Spliced ropes all day yesterday, woke up full of blisters, enough that holding the tablet pen hurts this morning.

@neauoire oowwhh ! feel better (I hope there is like a cream that works for that. something natural that can easily be found in a pantry would be even better)

Shufei ☁️

@neauoire Bag balm! Corn husker’s lotion! Hope you feel better soon.

I'm finally ready to present you the second version of my #Orca #Tetris patch.

- Controls are much more responsive now, no delay felt at all
- Type and orientation of the piece is always monitored to prevent it from going out of the field
- Line deletion is bug free now. It scans every line after every placed piece and clears the filled ones one by one
- Overall while being much more complex, the code takes up much less space

This is definitely the most complex thing I made in Orca.

Here are some details on how lines are cleared.

After the piece is placed, the game stops, then:

1) every line gets scanned and numbers of filled lines are going to that upside down pyramid
2) The pyramid outputs the least line number and line is being cleared
3) X operands that hold #, writes it up from cleared line to make everything above move down (S operands falls down naturally)
4) scanning happens again, loop is repeated on until there are no filled lines. And the game continues.

@vacuumbeef This is so crazy. I don't think most people can appreciate the genius in this - I've never seen anything like it.

@neauoire Arguably it hasn't spun right in a long while :blobcat_not_like_googly:

C.B.Leslie

@neauoire Maybe it's time to purchase a mini lathe. :P

Devine Lu Linvega

Obviously, it's one of those "they stopped manufacturing these in the 90s, the new one is 70$ for the little wheel thingy" sort of situation.

Cannibalized a cheap SS block to get the wheel, 10$ near-perfect fit.

@neauoire How did you get up there??!

Do I even want to know?

Anyway: Always fair winds and following seas! Or as the Germans say: Mast- und Schotbruch!

@neauoire it's giving that illegalist guy vibes

“SUN GOD”, my entry for METEOR’s 2024 #Famicase Exhibition in Tokyo.

“Is there truth to the tales of the darkness,
Where the light of the Sun God can’t reach?
In the deep, are their camera-eyes watching?
Do mechanical hearts there still beat?”

Added a two strips of LEDs in the galley, it really brighten things up!

I love our new lights, it makes cooking dinner a lot easier. The whole kitchen area lighting takes about a 3/4 of an amp, which is fine for our setup.

λzyd

@neauoire Ohhh nice, I need some of these myself. I live in an RV away from the city, but its an older one and most of the lights are horrific florescent ones. I think most people hate these and being autistic with light sensitivity its 10x worse. Been hanging up some warmer colored lights, just they need to be low power and hopefully don't get too hot.

@brood things I wish someone had told my younger self

Luckily I think there's only two things that I desperately miss not having a copy of

JohnHedge

@brood The most cost-effective archival medium that I have found are M-Disc BluRay discs (25GB or 100GB for ~$2.60 / ~$13 respectively) with a stated 1000 year lifespan under controlled conditions that aren't too onerous.

Pablo Lopez-Jamar

@brood No doubt about it. I recently discovered "Readeck", what a fantastic piece of gold to store articles :). (self-hosted opensource)

Devine Lu Linvega

Recently learned about touchdesigner. It's been around forever, but I hadn't heard of it. Saw it has a midi operator, and tried wiring it to Orca. Fun! #theWorkshop
