@neauoire This isn't it, but you made me remember Algodoo (or Phun how it was called before). Oh god how much time me and my friend wasted when we were early teenagers.
It's like a sandbox with physics engine, with gravity, wind, fluids, magnets, springs, different materials and different forces. People did basically anything in it, from simple games with fun physics to complex gun models with working insides (like it shoots a bullet because there is reaction happens inside) and car engines.

@neauoire sodaplay was SO GOOD, I was obsessed with this in highschool

@neauoire Thanks! Been a while. This is a nice take on that in JS. I know.......

This is actually the better starting point: http://www.dalnefre.com/wp/2010/06/solving-same-fringe-with-stream-generators/

@neauoire how did you find this?!

@neauoire I bought a MacBook air m2, because it's the highest ratio of performance to power consumption in small form factor that satisfies requirements that make me a living.
People exist to whom these things are the right tool for the job :)

@neauoire people with money to waste

Cleaned up the prop, and reassembled it. Took nearly 4 hours to get it all back together. Luckily, the person working on the boat next to ours could advise us.

@neauoire that's cool, but also the first thing that came to my mind was: :eccehomo:

@neauoire oh that's cool! Have a nice read ☺️

@neauoire love those guys

@neauoire 7.5 tonnes! a lightweight!

@neauoire That's surprising! our design weight is 11650 lbs — and Rival 32s, which are mostly 40+ years old and solid fibreglass, are considered heavy displacement.

@neauoire Don't have context, but I think it alludes to the concept of Kolmogorov complexity:
"Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is the length of a shortest computer program (in a predetermined programming language) that produces the object as output."

@neauoire my first reaction was to strongly disagree, mainly for the reasons you explain.

But I kept thinking about it and I realized the reason I like #rustlang so much is that the most explicit way of doing something is often the most concise and has better performance (e.g., https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch13-04-performance.html).

I still think that it's a very tricky thing to do with a general purpose language. For a DSL though, I think that's something one should strive for.

@neauoire I wrote about the tradeoffs between size, speed, features, and simplicity on the toybox design page more than 10 years ago:

Seriously, the smallest code, simplest code, and easiest to understand code are not always the same thing. You've got to sort of 80/20 all of them at once. (I learned that maintaining busybox coming up on 20 years ago now. Wow I'm old...)

@neauoire i spent so long looking at this image thinking it was some kind of picture taken using microscope, perhaps of gur discarded shells of some tiny armoured worm

@neauoire much support. big agree. yes. :moomin_hattifatteners:

@neauoire COMEFROM wasn't in the original INTERCAL spec, though, it's a later addition!

@neauoire Timely. Just released this yesterday: https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/064

@neauoire woah how good does it end up ? Is it cheaper to buy compared to roasted coffee? Where do you get it?

@neauoire gimme some of that salty solar coffee yum

@neauoire safe travels!

@neauoire I wish you no rabbit waves on this trip! Have a safe travel.

@neauoire what's life at anchor like?

@neauoire i have no idea where that comes from but i dig it
