So, @rek thought of a pretty clever boat hack to re-use the worn out seals from pickling jars. They fit snuggly around mason jars, and will stop them from hitting each other while we're underway.

"x+x"  We left Victoria with a medkit that was bursting at the seams with supplies. We're barely into august and we've fallen/gotten bit/walked into barnackles/etc so much that we've ran through all the bandaids we brought with us XD We need to stop falling into brambles and shit @manifoldslug I dunno if you remember when you last mentioned the simpler uxn core, I spent some time today to bring it upstream with the latest changes and reconnected it :)  @neauoire it's cool to see that when coupled with the changes in the interface, it has become more concise than the old simple core I remember:> also, it's interesting that the reference impl has gravitated back towards simplicity! @tbsp was it you who had made a uxn demo where you could paint pixels that looked like out a spray can? I'm looking for it  @neauoire did you take a look at zzo38's work here? they seem to have something similar in uxn38 We previously defined a programming language with the help of Turing machines. We chose poorly.  > With universal machines, they explained why it’s impossible to decide if a given Turing machine ever halts NO. NO THEY DIDN'T. :blobscream: see my pinned posts! @neauoire my problem with the "lambda calculus is superior" argument is that AFAIK there are no computing machines that are based on lambda calculus. Turing machines are a lot more straightforward as a basis for constructing a computing device. Lambda calculus on the other hand requires a fairly deep understanding of mathematics and mathematical notation to understand well, and doesn't have physical analogues in the same way. Anyways, I could be wrong and just less familiar with lambdas. Assembling Oquonie with Drifblim(self-hosted uxntal assembler) takes about 600ms, which allows me to hot-reload as I type. If I don't wipe the zero-page on change(where I keep all the state globals), it almost feels like I'm doing edit in place. Wanting to dive into this and improve this process is distracting me from actually doing the thing I've set out to do. :angy: @neauoire hell yeah! getting into flow with hot reloading on creative programming is gur most pure and mesmerising exerience ive ever had on a computer! it just all feels so magical like im a real wizzard developing a new spell from gur depths of some strange trance like mediditation between me and my machine I've been appending to my wiki for over 17 years, damn.

 @neauoire Most of people are not able to structure their thoughts so well and be so systematic, over so many years. As a parent who would like to encourage its child's development, I am curious - do you have a diagnosis why are we (as counties or societies) so disorganized, unable to focus and follow a vision, unable to learn as perhaps you have studied to learn? Do you see any main pivotal topics, missing from our education (assuming that there is sth like a common "western" kind of education)?  Stumbled on Timo Noko's homepage today, who built his own boats, navigation softwares, lisp environments.. Proudly unemployed since 1990 👀 goals "Losing all hope is freedom."

@neauoire i find it more fascinating that turbo pascal saved his life out in the seas @neauoire and thank you for reminding me again about him, I remember discovering him because of nokolisp I've been reading Dealers Of Lightning, and the sequence when PARC tries to buy a PDP-10, SDS's competing product, and everyone at corporate looses their minds made me laugh so much Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums Listening to HEALTH's Decimation, trying to find a way to rapidly construct tree data-structures with uxntal lambdas. :maru: @wim_v12e "Everything fails," people say. "Hey, especially software." Software Does Not Fail. To be said to fail, software would have to work in the first place then not work in the second place. Software does not do that.  @neauoire Ported Oquonie to the latest changes to the screen device. It should make it slightly faster on the playdate as well, it removes thousands of cycles wasted drawing the flipped assets one sprite tile at a time.

 @neauoire I bought a copy on Itch 4 years ago and I'd love to buy the Playdate version. Where can I find it?  @neauoire @nettles I was happy to test with oquonie and found that it didn't break anything. I'll be able to remove a whole bunch of shim code and make it faster. Thank you so much for the idea <3 When you read "I am a full-stack developer" on someone's website, you can be certain to expect a 1mb icon font download from a cdn to draw the magnifying glass icon in the site's search bar.

Spent the evening yesterday with people who've also sailed to japan and back. They did it in a 35' long sailing vessel that they built themselves. They said that back in the 70s, that length was considered long compared to the average. Nowdays, the word on the street is that a bigger longer ship is safer. But problems never get smaller by getting a larger vessel.  |
@neauoire @rek
Hm… I might be able to use that in my camper.
We often drive over washboard roads.
@neauoire @rek Great idea! Since you seem to still have lots of jars without rubber bumper: use it on every second jar only. Also eliminates the need to adjust the heights.

Jar fenders 😍 😍 😍
