Reading releases from oceanographers is making me consider whether living on the ocean was such a good idea at a time when the ocean is this pissed off.

@thomasorus what's the name of that painter who's works is mostly bold black strokes and red accents sometimes. I forgot his name and it's driving me crazy-

@neauoire @lobo This is so fascinating! What is the programming language? I've never seen a .tal file! Is this it?

@neauoire @lobo oh hey, I also did one un Love2D

I wonder, what would quantum celular automata look like?

A concatenative language differs from the functional programming language paradigm where terms correspond to values (including functions) and the fundamental operation is function application. In the Lambda calculus for example all terms correspond to values, function application, or function abstraction. However, in a catlang all terms correspond to functions on a tuple, or the composition of functions (which yields a new function, so is really a function).

@neauoire Once I saw the link out to Dr. Dobbs, I was wondering whether the author would be Christopher Diggins. :)

Looks like he's still doing interesting things around languages:

@neauoire So a catlang is a constrained functional language.

Watching the @compudanzas stream, while braiding a new dyneema core to one of our lines.
twitch.tv/compudanzas

Lengths of ropes about to be braided into each other with fids.

@compudanzas @neauoire

how it is possible watch something and braiding a rope core? ;)

Joseph Holsten

@neauoire @compudanzas When people talk about splicing cable, I still think about this before whatever the appropriate fiber optic or copper technique is.

Made a dyneema terminating line with a Brummel lock-splice on a thimble on one end.

If you're trying to write uxn but can only afford two bytes, you can use the 2 bytes long unicode փ.

ThaCuber

@neauoire if you can only afford one byte, x is a good approximation

no wait

@neauoire she isn't sure about whether they used *YouTube* data? Who is she, the driver?

Folks read Erewhon thinking, this sounds fun, let's build that.

All non-human plurals in Arabic are grammatically feminine singular:

al-kutub hadra' (الكتب خضراء)

"The books, she is green"

C.B.Leslie

@neauoire ... there are a lot of ways to interpret this information.

Oblomov

@neauoire interesting. I wonder if this is a heritage of some older language where they were neuter and in the evolution of language this happened to match the feminine form? I know this has happened from Latin to some Italian dialects, so now I'm curious if this is also the case for Arabic..

Devine Lu Linvega

With the help of @256k, we're experimenting with an Arabic programming language which is itself compiled by an a toolchain that also does away with ascii entirely from the machine instructions up. We've chosen a variance of ASMO 449 encoded character codes, and use a few extra symbols(!, @, ?) which will be turned into decorations. Its own implementation is written in itself and does not rely on an english implementation language.

@neauoire @256k I’m intrigued to learn what text editor you use. I’ve found all programming editors terrible with Persian text.

ASMO 449
A character set was devised by the Arab Standardization and Metrology Organization in 1982 to be the 7-bit standard to be used in Arabic-speaking countries.

I just realized that whenever someone says they're using Arc, it's some kind of new browser thing for apple devices, and not the lisp dialect.
