@neauoire looking at your screencasts has been a pleasure for me, there's something so attractive about your setup that it makes me "fall in love at first sight" in a hyperbolic sense :) I can't get my eyes off this GIF even while writing this. Many times this summer, people from other boats have come over to see us to tell us they have watched our videos way back when. I didn't think we had any reach with those beyond our immediate circle

@neauoire I grew up wishing to be a liveaboard but thinking it had somehow become impossible over the last century. ^▾^ I forget how I found them, but those videos were my first exposure to the idea that it's still possible. The visual and audio aesthetic also made them such cozy videos. ^-^ Every month it felt like getting to sit down with a good cup of coffee on a foggy day or something. @neauoire I too discovered you and @rek by your sailing videos. It’s not a topic I follow so not sure how it came up originally. I think there’s an intrinsic attraction or magnetism to people who share and follow their passion. I think that came through earnestly in your videos. Was fun watching your progress. Replacing every single-use label for a lambda, things look so much neater(as far as an assembly language can be neat).  Porting projects to making use of lambdas, the ability to nest them is really nice. In screenshot, left is button handling with lambdas, right is without where each state has to have a unique label. Took the train from chicago to san francisco a couple of years back, and am about to do it the other way from seattle to saint-louis. I'm very much looking forward to it! #TrainJam

Happy to see that our lockers are still well stocked up after months at anchor. We planned better this year compared to the last, the boat's cellar is still half full of the pickled vegetables we made last winter, and we have some every day. The grain carboys are about half fill too. It's blackberry season now, we'll be able to round off august on solar cooked blackberry cakes.   @neauoire oh any recipe fer the cakes? :3 picked 600g from a bush close by yesterday and will probably go for more :) Added support for lambdas to Varvara's Bicycle Added a bit of information on the whole topic of anonymous functions and what one can do with them. cc @dcreager That might be fun for you, I'm not sure how deep you're thinking about going into the functional side of things.  I didn't think it'd be so useful, but I'm really enjoying using Note Pad to keep track of fleeting thoughts and misc TODOs.

 @neauoire Thank you for reminding me of the cute notepad program I got for the CPC back in 1992! Self-modification Considered Helpful.  Concatenative programming and stack-based languages, at #strangeloop 2023, for #paperswelove.  @dcreager I've asked Alex if they could stagger our time slots. I hope that's okay, I'd hate to miss your PWL. @neauoire Wow, thanks for catching that! Yes def 👍 to staggering our time slots if they can do that, I’m also looking forward to seeing yours! Today, I finished the first pass of proof-reading for @rek's upcoming novel Wiktopher. It has been a long project, it makes me happy to see the thick annotated manuscript on my desk, we've been working on this for many months now(years?). After correcting each chapter, I read it out loud, to make sure it flows well and that the rhythm was good. I'm super excited for its release, but we're still ways away.

 I forgot what real speed felt like, it's nice to be back on the x250 and building 800 html pages for my wiki in 300ms with uxncli.  @neauoire We need backups preferably ones that have compatible disk media. I'm long RPi4 with passive cooling and SanDisc cards: http://move.rupy.se/file/last_computer.png (though I shamefully have not switched to it as main machine yet) Otherwise I recommed X25-E SSDs with either Atom or Xeon (also passively cooled but with fans on top) from ~2019. Mainstream consumer hardware only leads to frustration. I know the philosophy of reuse and repair; but I'm arguing for build it yourself. The destination that I'm grasping for is getting ever farther at the same rate that I approach it, but for as long as the program decreases in size, and increases in reliability, the chase remains exhilarating. We've used the solar stove nearly every single day since we casted off a couple of weeks ago, enough that the reflectors are start to bend inward from the heat and sun exposure.. Worlding is the art of devising a World: by choosing its dysfunctional present, maintaining its habitable past, aiming at its transformative future, and ultimately, letting it outlive your authorial control. It's amazing to see that Alta Plana is still frequently updated.  @neauoire Benoit Peeters was recently interviewed in the Arrêts sur Image media about sexist/misogynistic representation in French and Belgian comics, but also in his own series, and I was soooo relieved to see him acknowledge his own shortcomings and wanting to do better. It's so rare to not be disappointed by a creator you like. It's paywalled but is you want to watch it tell me and I'll see if I can share it. https://www.arretsurimages.net/emissions/slp/bd-du-bon-usage-de-laffaire-vives |
