@helveticablanc the piece is turning out amazing <3 I love it!

It looks like you have an idea for the frame with more detailing, looking forward to seeing it.

@ef1j "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

@neauoire idle note (in case you don’t know about it); you can always strip the ?si query arg on youtube urls, its tracker shit

@neauoire Party at the Harkonnen palace

@neauoire @rek Fair Winds and Following Seas ~~~ /)

@neauoire safe trip full of new adventures!

@neauoire Safe travels! It's been unreal working with you this past month. I hope the winds are favorable and the Pacific treats you well.

@neauoire
It feels like a wonderful logical extreme to pure functional programming. Any interaction that can't be handled by matching, copying, and moving data is impure.

Your addition operation is now

(+) : Int -> Int -> IO Int

@neauoire how dare you!? (jk 😇 )

@neauoire in bed, late at night, thinking impure thoughts (counting sheep)

@neauoire Prefix, infix OR postfix?! 😳

@neauoire I have no idea what you are doing most of the time, but it looks cool none-the-less.

@rek yes there is that myth that one would need at least a cargo bike to replace a car but you can already carry a lot with a simple rear rack rated for 25kg and decent panniers.

Add to that an hiking backpack, possibly a front rack or basket and you can carry even more. And it scales automatically with the people going with you, unlike when using a motorized vehicle.

@rek grains smuggling 😄

France's throughput of funding weird computer science stuff is impressive.

@neauoire @capital really? it seems a natural enough fit i’d expect gol to be the hello world of string rewriting

@neauoire @capital that’s so rad, nice job!!

@neauoire

🥳

@neauoire

All the best!

@capital no way! That's awesome. The first GOL, is the rewriting fast? Does the undefinition operator cuts down on a lot of rewriting?

@neauoire oowwhh ! feel better (I hope there is like a cream that works for that. something natural that can easily be found in a pantry would be even better)

@neauoire Bag balm! Corn husker’s lotion! Hope you feel better soon.

Here are some details on how lines are cleared.

After the piece is placed, the game stops, then:

1) every line gets scanned and numbers of filled lines are going to that upside down pyramid
2) The pyramid outputs the least line number and line is being cleared
3) X operands that hold #, writes it up from cleared line to make everything above move down (S operands falls down naturally)
4) scanning happens again, loop is repeated on until there are no filled lines. And the game continues.

@vacuumbeef This is so crazy. I don't think most people can appreciate the genius in this - I've never seen anything like it.

@neauoire Arguably it hasn't spun right in a long while :blobcat_not_like_googly:

@neauoire Maybe it's time to purchase a mini lathe. :P

Obviously, it's one of those "they stopped manufacturing these in the 90s, the new one is 70$ for the little wheel thingy" sort of situation.

Cannibalized a cheap SS block to get the wheel, 10$ near-perfect fit.
