@neauoire I mean, he was right tho ;P

@neauoire I love that show so much. I've seen every episode. Its sad the focus is on consumerism and not technology for itself, but it was prolific enough to show lots of different things to a lot of people. Every now and then some cool guy shows up and nobody knows what to do with them.

@neauoire "Haha, so anyway, FORTH..."

@neauoire most text editors have a snippets library with “tab expansion” that i really love for exactly this.

also I hugely love emmet, which takes a (slightly enhanced) css selector syntax and expands it to the full html that css selects for

@neauoire Ha, that's neat! I have to check if there is something like that for micro.

@neauoire Ooo yeah! I used that feature all the time until I moved to Linux and wanted something I could easily move between machines. Espanso app (https://espanso.org/) is the solution I landed on. Love that you can build little libraries of expansions for different purposes.

@neauoire > The expression λx.x becomes λ0 – the 0 refers to the first parameter of the abstraction. Subsequently, the expression λx.λy.x y becomes λλ1 0.

Shouldn't that be

> λx.λy.x y becomes λλ0 1

Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

@neauoire Definitely going to take me a minute to wrap my head around this language, but it looks really neat, thanks for the link! :)

@neauoire Very interesting! My (soon-to-be-ex) postdoc will love this, he uses De Bruijn indexing frequently in his EDSLs.

It also makes me realise Funktal is quite pedestrian by comparison :-D

@neauoire I think this is c16, I tried running it on c64 and it failed. I don't know enough assembly to fix it but here is a folder with everything you would need, compiler (windows) and all: http://move.rupy.se/file/donsolx16-dev.zip

@neauoire I miss old school fuckery.

@neauoire "hey" is the one true message for print debugging

@neauoire

Is this an emulated Alto?

Also, if you haven't checked out Squeak, I recommend you take a look at it. It's the continuation of this project and keeps the cool ideas while taking advantage of more advanced hardware.

@neauoire that's an old school smalltalk image you're using!

@neauoire Love #Smalltalk's arbitrary bases! 36r was popular, too.

@neauoire aw yeah, drawing directly over windows without clearing the screen 😘👌

@neauoire
Dang, I gotta get a copy of your hacking playlist.

@neauoire what‘s the song in this video? Love it.

@neauoire Whoa, what environment is that? Looks very 9y :)

@neauoire Looks cozy

@neauoire looking great!

@neauoire which talk is this from?

@neauoire Well... I wouldn't want to write
```go
foo, err := bar()
if err != nil {
handleError(err)
}
```
all day either... 😅

@neauoire Kinda curious if a *slightly* higher-level language could be written on top of uxn that was both a) meaningfully more readable and b) close to trivial to implement (no really high-level features, just a different syntax, maybe?)...

@neauoire you know i really would love to get ahold of an HP-48 sometime! ✨

@neauoire not yet, it's too messy right now. I have two configurations -- one for varvara, and one for my socket stuff, and I switch between the two by just commenting one out and recompiling lol. I'm thinking about implementing some sort of system for modular devices so I can switch them out like "I want system on 0, screen on 2, and three files on a, b, and c"

also, keeping things private for now allows me to focus on getting stuff done instead of always making sure it's pretty :)

@neauoire
wtf, plastic? Maybe just use regular ones

@neauoire In the home (or boat) DIY repair vein, adding baking soda to super glue kinda blew my mind.

@neauoire You too!

I can now see all the assets pages and their length, so I can better merge them ✊

After a day of work I managed to save 3 pages(totally 192kb) of memory in Oquonie for a rom that will be a total of 458kb spread over 7 pages of memory.

I'm pretty happy that we got to create a demake of our game and bring it from 150mb to 458kb and preserve much of the essence of the original, I dare even say that it's quite a lot better. The virtual machine driving it is somewhat easy to implement and hopefully that will help for the game to be playable in the future.
