Jingu’s rebuilding is designed to reproduce the existing structures as exactly as possible. Each rebuilding uses the same materials, the same construction techniques, and is built from the same set of drawings. Rekka and I lived right by the Ise Jingu, just a forest bikeride away. https://theprepared.org/features-feed/ise-jingu-and-the-pyramid-of-enabling-technologies via @akkartik, on the CollapseOS mailing list  @neauoire Ise Shrine is a place I am unlikely to ever personally visit, but which will inspire me until I die, just because I know it exists and what's going on there. It's like a physical manifestation of the type of society I'd want to live in :blobhearteyes: Last year, I wrote the worst text-editor imaginable, in assembly. A little over a year later of daily use, it has become the most fun and most beautiful text editor I could have never dreamed of.

 Kudos to SL for immortalizing it in the last FUCK COMPUTERS zine. I'm gonna stick it to the bathroom wall-of-fame.  We were kidding around a few weeks back about how we could turn Hundred Rabbits into a shipping-by-sail company. Well, we're completing our first delivery tomorrow >__> *makes a backup of everything I've worked on these past two years, source files and and binaries* 238kb @neauoire this reminds me of when i was using plan9, it would make nightly backups and it never came close to filling the drive, even after like, a year. (copy-on-write backups, but still)

I miss working on my lovely Thinkpad, for energy reasons I've taken to work principally on the Pinebook, despite its.. many flaws. I've quite embraced the weekly ritual of replacing the ducktape strip that holds the trackpad in place.  @neauoire thinkpad are good boys (best boys are doggos obviously)
pinebook is interesting on the paper but is nowhere near industrial (high end) laptops (thinkpad, XPS, etc.), sadly  I'm daily-driving a RPi 400 to keep the heat in my office down during summer. I habitually re-press modifier/shift keys now because that thing's keyboard firmware does a poor job detecting them. 🙁

@neauoire That's completely novel! How cool!! Love the hat tip to Classic MacOS: "You can set any desktop pattern you like, but you might not *want* to" 😆  @neauoire looks awesome! (i noticed that https://rabbits.srht.site/potato/potato.rom is currently a dead link) I think I want to design and build a desktop environment. I believe I've figured out all the different parts I need for this.

 @neauoire That's strange, I thought you entered the Matrix after your second coffee in the afternoon  @neauoire Wait, is this a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_School_Bus reference?! Improved the Orca patch that I use to test permuations of operators. It's fun to look at it run :maru: Every time I see a dev with a decked out computer with LED lights, colorful fans, glowing tubes all sorts of shits sticking out of the thing, without miss, they write bloated as fuck slow programs.

1. Everybody's programs are bloated compared to yours 😄 2. I know lots of people with sleek, streamlined (often silver colored) computers that write bloated programs 🙂 @neauoire While my PC *does* have a glowing fan, I actually hate it and didn't realize how bright it'd be when I grabbed it, it was just the cheapest effective option >_> I've also deliberately disconnected the lights on the case from the power supply, because why on Earth would I want my computer glowing? Given that I do most of my personal dev work on decade-old hardware at best, I'm fairly sure I tend to do a good job with regards to efficiency :) Jam for 10 minutes, find bug, fix bug, jam for 10 minutes, find bug, fix bug, jam for 10 minutes.. Everyday of this past month we've spent 3 hours in the forest exploring old logging trails, it seems the deeper we go, the more branching trails we find, each time we go further than the last. We're finally starting to know our way through the ferns.  @neauoire seems like the description of a Bethe lattice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethe_lattice New bolder Orca font, fresh out of the oven! 🥖 Thanks to everyone who suggested improvements :) Hopefully this will make projected livecoding sources more readable for the people at the back!  @neauoire Oh man Orca looks so cool! I just love the idea of showing the formula as well as the current state in the same view. I really should try to get it running on a machine. |
@neauoire damn lucky!
@neauoire you have better luck than me. all the ones nearby only seem to have airport fiction lol
@neauoire ooh i was just looking at this while shelving the other day!
