The Sidosi webmaster died(rip Dan Parson) this summer and 3 months later the site finally goes dark and the community is still scrambling to collect all the pieces from the wayback machine. Most of the javascript tools and APIs are broken now, and nobody has a copy of the site.

Don't be that community, backup your shit, have a contingency plan.

@neauoire it's macabre but definitely good to have a bus factor of more than one wherever possible. @eigenbom was talking about how that might apply to godot actually

Saw someone with a tattoo of FreeBSD's mascot beastie at the gym, I asked them about it, if they were a bsd dev and whatnot, they replied "What's a Free BSD?"

@neauoire ah yeah, the good ol' found my tattoo in Google Images

vacuumbeef

@neauoire I imagined it and it was wildly embarrassing

@neauoire The real slept on revelation here is that you're going to the gym

News Anchor: "NASA has shared some new images of the oldest black hole."
Blasé Reporter: "My mind is blown Caroline, my mind is blown, science am I right. Now the traffic on highway 16-"

@neauoire At least give us a joke about there being a black hole on highway 16, Blase Reporter

@neauoire i recommend you give a listen to the work of Marihiko Hara. He’s a composer and pianist friend of mine who used to with with Sakamoto Ryuichi

the bouncing paw 🎃

@neauoire yeah it rocks! And the story itself, it's still my favorite

lky

@neauoire don't forget the sore feet song! I'm astonished that people still remember mushishi

Woodworking kind of a day. Built a little frame for the hatch above Rek's workstation with a screen to keep the bugs out. Still needs to be varnished

@neauoire ya, we've met. It unceremoniously came down to bonk me on the head.

@neauoire There's beauty in small things well done. Is it a specific wood that you chose?

Devil Lu Linvega

TADAH!
Installed the screen over the top hatch.

@neauoire this diagram is so endearing. It really helps when less-standard numbering schemes are humanized like this.

People asking me to debug node programs I wrote 10 years ago.

me: bash "npm" command not found

the harbinger of eternal sept

@neauoire my favorite is the flavor combo where node command is installed and npm command is not

Alexander Cobleigh

@neauoire people: please help this old code isn't running?!
devine: npm stands for "no pthanks man"

@neauoire don't ask me to debug a program I wrote 10 minutes ago

@aw check this out

milliFORTH weighs in at just 422 bytes. This beats out Tunney's sectorLISP (436 bytes) by 14 bytes, making FORTH now the smallest language once again.

AlgoCompSynth by znmeb

@neauoire @aw 422 bytes? The *UART* drivers in the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK are bigger than that!

I did not want to write my own UART driver but now I'm challenged. 😡

Designed a 15-trits ternary stack machine computer, my dream dssp host if you will. It can do most basic forth primitives, and all sorts of other stuff.

@neauoire 👀
will you publish the whole program ?

@neauoire @theruran christopher nolan will one day make a three hour epic about how you put this into the world

@gustav This is what 1-bit blending is supposed to look like.

I was allowed to connect my little mp3 player to the gym's speakers this morning since there was so few people.

A nice lady in her 70s told me that the gabber remix of Katy Perry's E.T. was totally her jam.

In base 27, triplets of ternary digits are encoded in heptavintimal digits. There is a need for an encoding akin to hexdecimal for ternary computers. Heptavintimal meets this need, offering a natural encoding for 3-trit trybbles.

@neauoire

Interesting… an heptavintimal digit can be expressed using the 26 letters of the ASCII alphabet plus the 0.

@neauoire I'm bookmarking this for later because I need to look further into this in comparison with

(Sorry if you were already familiar with the resource, I haven't had time to go over the page you linked yet )

@capital-ex Thanks for the patch, do you wanna try to reformat it so the usage text isn't in memory twice? Maybe using an if/else in the first two cases

An alternative basis for development of a completely incompatible digital infrastructure is presented here. This minimizes the potential for leakage of information, particularly malware and other covert content from our existing digital infrastructure. This effort can be described as taking security through obscurity as a fundamental design principle.

Using base 3 instead of base 2 maximizes the incompatibility.

@neauoire I was scratching my head for a minute until I saw the date.

@neauoire You had me at maximal incompatibility.
