Gregory's Server
I can't quite put my finger on why, but there's something very annoying about @lynn's C implementation of mandelbrot compiling to Uxntal and running faster than the Uxntal native implementation haha XD

Tempted to use this top-down notation in a REPL program for Strange Loop. Back in early spring, I asked for reading suggestions for the summer and we've been slowly going through them these past few weeks, thank you all so much for the suggestions! I can't remember who suggested what, but everything has been fantastic!  We hardly see anyone on the water these days, internet has been pretty much non-existant until this evening. Exploring what can only be described as a very pretty Bryce3D render.

 Glad to see you! Did you meet your current neighbours, the "people beneath the waves"?   Caught up with friends from victoria in the inlet. Jerry once towed us out of a bay when we had engine troubles a few years back. The cliff sides around us is giving me vertigo, you can't tell where they end, they just keep on going and then vanish in the clouds. @neauoire I've never been all the way up to Louisa, but pics from nearby Hotham Sound when I was there in March We've sailed into Princess Louisa Inlet last night, I think this is one of the most beautiful place I've ever been to in Canada.

  @neauoire If you’re headed north we sailed around Haida Gwaii a few years ago and it was stunning as well. That whole coast is amazing.  @neauoire Just reached the last place that will take garbage and recycling until we come back down in the fall, any waste that we generate from this point on, we have to carry with us.

 @neauoire just FYI I happened across this on a FB cruising group: "Taku Resort and Marina on the edge of Hariot Bay on Quadra Island was $5 for a plastic shopping bag full of garbage, which I thought was pretty reasonable. Friendly folks who let us tie up for an hour to do a grocery run too." For a while now I've had this idea where, since each uxn rom has as something I call "an application manifest"(a sort of definition of endpoints to locate the application's functions which I use this for keyboard accessibility mostly). I was thinking, I ought to make use of it somehow. Where I could, for example, use Adelie's TGA converer function like you would a server. I'm not 100% clear on how I can use this yet, but I can't get the idea out of my head.  @neauoire so, with Co, I work towards this by removing the boundaries of "applications" completely; everything is just a routine, and they're all floating in memory. an "application" just becomes an entry point routine that points to the other routines that make up its logic and "vectors", and all of those associated routines can be called by anything that knows its address, which can be stored in a content-hash-to-address map (as in Co) or a string-name-to-address map for someone to call direct So, @lynn wrote a C to #uxn compiler, which allows anyone to write graphical varvara roms in plain C. This setup, where instead of having only the typical main() entry, you also have event bindings as you would in something like Unity(on_button, on_update, etc), is very nice. Just so you know, I've been trying to sign the thing that's going around in support of defederation from META instances, in the name of our instance, but it uses a god damn fucking bloated webapp called cryptpad that won't even begin with our roaming internet. So yeah, we're there in spirit, but I can't sign the thing.  Anchored by a little boarded-up wooden cabin on pillars, where when the tide rises high, the water reaches almost all the way to the porch. These are all the bits needed to generate my wiki. It's the arm64 application, the preprocessor rom, and the builder rom. Altogether it's about 37kb

You can’t separate the history of timekeeping, and even time zones, from both colonialism—which involves also putting people to work right—and industrialism. We don’t have more and more minute measurements of productivity for no reason. It’s like there was always a reason to be doing it, and the reason was always to get more work out of people faster.

 @neauoire yeah i think i agree. measuring time (sunrise and sunset, phases of the moon, position of the stars, understanding the universe) has always been interesting to humans. but i think that impulse gets subverted and used to control, coerce, and (at best) coordinate humans. @xiroux it's likely to be because you use a hidpi screen. And your image that is 3000px wide has more data to display.  @neauoire Aaaah, that's right 🤦♂️ So it's not 900 physical pixels on my screen, but 1800 (I think I'm rendering 2x the resolution), right? |
@neauoire @lynn concatenative languages, as we all know, are really wonderful, fantastic…. compilation targets.
@neauoire @lynn :O How's it doing *that*?!
@neauoire @lynn one difference i see is that it's using 8.8 fixed point -- the demo version is using 4.12
