So, @eli_oat gave me this book called "Permaculture: A Designer's Manual", by Bill Mollison. It's excellent.

It's strange how coffee tastes different depending on where we are. We make the same coffee, the same way, with the same mokapot and the same water, everyday. Yet, it tastes different here, or in transit, or in the city.

@neauoire even in the same place! When I moved to hand grinding, I was shocked at how different the grind experience was for the same coffee in morning Vs afternoon. Atmospheric conditions, particularly humidity, affect grind a lot, with knock on for extraction which is probably where you’re seeing the taste change

Updated /now page.
To continue my research on concatenative language syntax inference, in contrast to the reassembler which create an intelligible textual representation from a binary file and a symbols file; this time, I've written a reformatter that works from a textual source file and reindents it based on context. An interesting puzzle, considering how few syntaxic structures Uxntal has, lacking explicit notation for loops or even conditionals.

We're stern-tied to the shore, it grantees the angle of the sun to be consistent, as opposed to being anchored and spinning to the whims of the tide and the wind.

This allows us to set the solar oven once, and not have to worry about it.

@neauoire Every time I see stuff like this, I think: y'all are doing it right. Hope we get to meet in person someday :D
(Saw the post about Strange Loop... it's not in the cards this year, but I've wanted to go for agesss! Extra FOMO i guess 😅)

@neauoire that cover makes the back of pino look so cozy inside. I love the little lights!

A regatta of geese came out to check out Pino.

@neauoire is that a Canada goose? We have them & barnacle geese here in Finland. Impressive numbers and size.

It's unbelieveable that we can sail up along the coast, find a pretty nook between two mountains that seems inviting, and just live there. When we'll have walked up and down the old trails to our heart's content, maybe we'll keep going. Part of me wonder for how long this will remain possible, it's just too good to last.

@neauoire it does seem like a bit of a loophole in life.

@neauoire Certainly sea-level rises (due to climate-change) are a threat to that...

I've been toying with Marginalia's random site feature for the past hour, eventually I ended up on @renaudbedard's blog!

Adopting the speech inflection off of the robotic automated voices from the weather stations.

@neauoire I tend to pick up accents, I think it's part of my masking behaviors, so I can just imagine myself doing the same thing unconsciously after listening to that voice for a few days.

@neauoire 🖤 stone waves 🖤

How do they form? Does this phenomena have a name?

@neauoire the design for my next house..

@neauoire ocean/sea salt water carves these formations out of local shore stone. Fascinating! I bet “on growth and form” will have some examples. Thank you for sharing.
I am really jealous but happy for you!

After a few days of fine-tuning, I've managed to write a program that successfully turns an abritrary uxntal program source file into the style that I normally use when coding. It should help me parse other people's programs more easily when using unfamiliar indentation.

All these experiments at structured editing, reassembly, auto-formatting are my poking at better understanding which patterns are used in a language that lacks syntactical constructs.

@neauoire so what did you use in the end? [4 or [ ( 4 )? I couldn't quickly understand it from the code.

@neauoire given my current struggles with gestalting inputs for symbolic math, I'm not sure. On the one hand, I could just write the integrals out long hand. On the other, gotta go water the pot plants in the green house.

@neauoire ah yeah this book is high on my list after reading Ishmael. good to know it's similarly addictive.

@avi we're looking into entering Jervis Inlet, and I remember you said you had a cabin nearby. We could stop by if you tell us where it is :)

@neauoire cool! Can we take that convo to Signal or something? Fedi private messaging confuses me.

Devine Lu Linvega

Between the aggresive type-checker, formatter, structured editor reassembler, I've built the perfect self-asphyxiation programming framework to never ever get anything done ever again. Don't mind me while I proof the hello world printing routines for a month.

@neauoire Law of conservation of static checks

Languages that don't start out with static checks will tend to add them or be replaced by other languages that do.

@neauoire now you can advertise: "the uxn programming environment has no side-effects"

I haven't done this yet, but I know what you are talking about (except the email thing).

PS You guys are cool

I do a fair bit of uxntal code review these days and since each person has their own unique style, and sometimes I just can't understand the person's patterns at a glance, I wrote a tiny code formatter that standardizes any tal file to something pretty "standard"(or at least familiar to me). Here's a 1000 bytes rom that'll overwrite the source file with the formatted result. The linked source file is fed a minified source and here is the result:

I've been wondering about these static lists of things, and how I should break them into lines. Obviously, I can't just always make list of a fixed length, some data types, like 1-bit sprites will be 8 items wide, some LUTs will be 6 items wide. I was thinking, since we have this bracket rune, maybe specifying the width could be done this way:
