How to: Dyneema End to End Splice

Still trying to turn the old Lispkit into a usable Lisp playground that's hosted on a 20ish opcodes virtual machine. I've implemented something like the PRINT opcode from the book, next I'll try READ so it can respond to keyboard input. The fib program compiles to the following SECD code: (6 2 NIL 3 (2 NIL 2 #\Newline 13 1 (0.0) 13 2 :cli 13 26 5) 13 3 (1 (0.0) 2 0 14 8 (2 0 9) (1 (0.0) 2 1 14 8 (2 1 9) (2 NIL 1 (0.0) 2 1 16 13 1 (1.1) 4 2 NIL 1 (0.0) 2 2 16 13 1 (1.1) 4 15 9) 9) 5) 13 3 (2 NIL 2 NIL 1 (0.0) 13 1 (1.1) 4 13 1 (1.2) 4 5) 13 3 (1 (0.0) 5) 7 4 21) I dunno about you but the Common Lisp HyperSpec website is absolute peak web design.

 To limit the condensation in the winter seeping into the foam, we elevated it with this space-material looking thing. Hopefully it will help protect our newly upholstered cushions. @neauoire looks like 3d printer spaghetti smooshed into an egg carton 3d shape, very interesting! It's funny how I can go from being utterly terrified at the onset of a project such as the total rewiring of Pino, to looking back thinking that it wasn't at all as hard as you expected, and having that familiar realization that that twinge of fear is more often about starting than it is about doing the task itself. Rek and I were invited to do a residency at LEÑA, and we sailed to our dream destination, the breath-taking Princess Louisa Inlet. I had, once again, the opportunity of crossing the US by train, eastward this time, with a bunch of amazing people heading to the last of the Strange Loop conferences. I got a tattoo of my favourite demon, Stolas, by my friend and favourite tattoo artist Lizbeth.  @neauoire I feel this so hard. Inertia is strong, comfort or the illusion of it are pacifiers. Both in projects and in major life changes (going independent, big geographical moves, other plunges) I find just making that start or decision feels like 90% of the work.  *selects a length of code on Github* Wow, that's actually impressive, how even the f-  @neauoire I recently opened a pull request that slowed the Github text editor to about 1 character per second. Apparently, it's not ready to cope with +19,355 −22,378  @neauoire If someone is selecting text on THEIR webpage, that's obviously something THEY need to know about IMMEDIATELY.  @neauoire I really like doing backups and going back through logs, metrics and read lists every New Year "I sense we are in moments of descent. " ASCII having ( and ) next to each other, but every other types of brackets having something inbetween is kind of a pain. @neauoire you know what really is a pain? having to read those endless mails on the @ietf lists about ASCII, its history, how it didn’t get registered appropriately, etc. and, especially, all those dudes being so convinced their version of the story is the truth and nothing but. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/art/?gbt=1&qdr=m&q=ASCII Faircamp  "Going through Patagonia" @neauoire Apple Maps was like this in its early days: Cairo? Sure, that's in USA somewhere. Memphis? Also in the US! Europe? Yup, here's a US town called Europe! I haven't used it since those days.  Cruising the Glaciers of the Beagle Channel

@neauoire it's interesting that you started implementing that after you worked a bit with LISP *modifies self-hosted compiler directly, braces for impact*  I wonder what we should do with the Wiktopher manuscript with all the corrections. It's a thick stack of paper, storage it? Is there any point in keeping that. Feels weird to just throw away.

  @neauoire if you have a local town with a library and an ephemera collection, donate it there? Or you fave uni's ephemera collection.  @neauoire I think it's easy to decide answering: Do you think in 20-30 years time you will like to find it in an old box? |
@neauoire i can knot believe how cool that is
@neauoire Useful, cheers! I have the same strand Dyneema (use it for string silencers on my bows) and find it almost waxy to the touch. I did think it must be quite difficult to getting a holding splice given this texture, and so I'm surprised but not _very_ surprised the article cites a buried section 51" long for their stays!
