Careful. Enjoy your cruise.

@neauoire it's giving that illegalist guy vibes

I love our new lights, it makes cooking dinner a lot easier. The whole kitchen area lighting takes about a 3/4 of an amp, which is fine for our setup.

@neauoire Ohhh nice, I need some of these myself. I live in an RV away from the city, but its an older one and most of the lights are horrific florescent ones. I think most people hate these and being autistic with light sensitivity its 10x worse. Been hanging up some warmer colored lights, just they need to be low power and hopefully don't get too hot.

@neauoire seeing fresh greens in your kitchen is wild

@brood things I wish someone had told my younger self

Luckily I think there's only two things that I desperately miss not having a copy of

@brood The most cost-effective archival medium that I have found are M-Disc BluRay discs (25GB or 100GB for ~$2.60 / ~$13 respectively) with a stated 1000 year lifespan under controlled conditions that aren't too onerous.

@brood No doubt about it. I recently discovered "Readeck", what a fantastic piece of gold to store articles :). (self-hosted opensource)

@tendigits yes! Orca lends itself well to making this reactive audio things <3

@neauoire The beauty of the internal structure of a program being the same as the source lol

@neauoire @smlavine I think Paradise could be expressed in modal. Where the entire state of the world is expressed in a series of self modifying strings. Oh no.

@neauoire `git clera`
tried to clear and run `git add .` at the same time and I didn't even spell clear right

@neauoire git smash

@neauoire Meanwhile in Common Lisp it's the norm for libraries and projects to go for years without significant updates or commits. No one bats an eye and we still just use the stuff. Its interesting how folks are taught to distrust projects that don't have non-stop activity.

@neauoire good reply Devine 👍

@neauoire software just can't die you know 🙄

this honestly sounds dark

Realized after posting that I could have used an exploding lambda to initialize the memory. It's a bit prettier.

I like this way of programming, it feels like ascii physics. The replacement steps shows my little cursor `>` moving across the cons cells until it collides with (), and then bounces back out of the list. It's like Orca, there's no hidden state, everything that relates to the evaluation has to be present in the source, pausing the evaluation at any moment yields a valid program.

@neauoire very compelling. Have you tried using it for music generation yet? This stuff vaguely reminds me of some of the grammar based approaches used in algorithmic music.

@neauoire That’s a lovely old comms panel. A real boat anchor rig. That boat is quite the Sputnik setup too.

@neauoire "discovered canary islands"? Lol. That sounds like "discovered Paris"

@neauoire I love the metal-clad Sailor RT unit, the sort of thing you'd find in a small freighter!

@neauoire that's a banger, and unexpected. I've heard some of their earlier stuff, and really like it, too. This is quite different.

@neauoire wow, so many cool pop-art references and I probably missed most.

Last share about Busy Doing Nothing. This is a photo that a very nice sailor named Warren took of us a day after we arrived back in Victoria.
He brought us some fresh produce. We hadn't had fresh anything in weeks (edit: we were quarantined for 14 days on arrival, we couldn't go out to shop for food ourselves).

@eli_oat we were just talking about logic programming and how we didn't have projects to use it for. Music composition is actually a pretty interesting usage of it! I was working on a modal repl for doing livecoding composition from rules, and found this, I thought that might interest you.

I also do fugues. But, that costs extra.

@neauoire generally skeptical of this stuff but I -have- always wanted a eurorack module or something built on chorale harmony rules that I could fiddle with the logic for live and that could live-follow inputs

@neauoire After nearly six months alongside Wreck, our berth neighbour, a large-ish, American-built Finnish cutter, slipped its berth and headed into the Channel to sail westwards towards Brest and the entrance to the Biscay. We will meet them there in a week or so to sail in company to Northern Spain.

@suricrasia this post is a work of art. a work of art is a type of object
