Lua is one of those languages that I knew at one point, I wrote a ton of it, including guides, but I've forgotten exactly everything about it now, enough that when I see Lua code, I don't even recognize what language it is.

@neauoire I taught myself Lua to make a pico 8 game, and then once I finish the game I completely forgot everything I knew about Lua.

@neauoire Lua in Sardinia is the Euforbia Dendroides. It was used to fish by diluting its toxic sap in the water so that fishes come up to the surface and are easily catched by hand. So, when somebody has gone gaga you call him PISCI ALLUAU.

@neauoire lua has a syntax thats fairly nondescript. Iā€™ve had to relearn it a couple times now. However, the one thing I never forget about lua is the flexible table syntax. I wish LSON would have overtaken JSON.

Something super fun happened today.

I received a very dry personal email with answers I had in regards to some questions about participating in some development project for mine shafts in Syracuse, and a validation code to sign in with my new account.

*clicked it*

I have a access to some company's business reports, and discussion forums. I can even redeem gas for my company car.

But, I am not building mine shafts in Syracuse.

(my very old gmail account is filled with other people's medical records, travel bills, tax filings, prison records, etc. because it's such a short and common name, and people are careless or don't understand email)

@neauoire
Oh darn. Another one of those breaches in the continuum.

Go back to your usual stuff while we fix things. Please do not write back to the version of you that builds mine shaft in Syracuse-54. It would make things even worse. And probably we should kill you both.

All the othersā€¦ thereā€™s nothing to see here. *waves*

@neauoire We have located the Orb a mile below the foothills of an Italian island, you have six months to retrieve it.

@eli_oat have you read the "Salzgurken: A formal grammar for unambiguous grocery shopping" paper in the latest sigbovik? I feel like you'd get a kick out of it.

Gorgeous sail up to Sidney, following wind and tide with a clear sky the whole way.

*looks up operator precedence table because is coding in some cloddish language where you just have to guess what ever which way things are supposed to happen*

@neauoire in these cases I usually add unnecessary parens where I want them. Is that an option?

Devine Lu Linvega

Took the bikes apart, storaged everything that might shift underway, our ship is back to sailing mode until the fall. We're looking at casting off for Sidney tomorrow morning.

@neauoire How come? (Work org account's on there, wondering if I should move it.)

@neauoire this is an incredibly evocative sentence if you don't know what the fediverse is

@neauoire How come I get no spam on chaos.social what so ever, are the developers doing the banning behind the scenes or are we simply not targeted in the first place?

"Because when an organ is working properly, you donā€™t feel it. If you see your eye, youā€™ve got cataract. If you hear your ears, youā€™ve got singing in your earsā€”you know, getting in the way of hearing. When you are fully functioning, you are unaware of the organ. When youā€™re thinking clearly, your brain isnā€™t getting in your way."

@neauoire I donā€™t know. Iā€™d trust someone questioning their own thoughts than someone acting in pure beliefā€¦which I donā€™t think exists

It's time to fill our e-reader for the summer, I'm looking for anything you can think of that might be fun for reading out-loud, classics, sci-fi, metaphysics, fiction, humour, etc..

Ideally, something that is not already present on this list: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/reading.h

@neauoire a bit late to this, but ā€œThe Vanished Birdsā€ is the best sci-fi Iā€™ve ever read. By Simon Jimenez, his first novel. His writing style is perfect

opfez

@neauoire a clockwork orange is a great classic and i think you'll like the fictional dialect influenced by eastern european languages since you have some russian experience :)
may or may not be fun depending on how you like the very informal and wacky narration

Devine Lu Linvega

Catching up with friends, making plans for which island to meet at, and when. We're casting off in less than a week now. Only thing left to do is filling the lockers up with food.

@neauoire Good luck and fair winds. I look forward to your tales of adventure and sun-baked bread.

let's try type-checking self-modifying parallel assembly code.

Devine Lu Linvega

Might have no choice but make a type unsafe. :eccehomo:
