I haven't been able to make any time for myself these past few days, I'd really like to find a moment to catch up with emails and drawtober, alas Excellent conversation on sugar and processed foods. Link to the Lucretian Swerve paper mentioned in the conversation:  @neauoire @klardotsh another channel with really good, well-researched nutritional info is PlantChompers (also on youtube). v recommended :)  Helping a friend who's learning French with their homeworks, they've asked me about the usage of the word "lui", making me realize how unpredictable its usage is to someone learning the language. Je lui ai donné le livre. | I gave the book to him/her.

  The French "Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales" has a long page about "lui". @neauoire Et encore, rien que dans l'orthographe il y a des horreurs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YO7Vg1ByA8 En fin de compte, c'est toujours un peu compliquez de parler de sustainability a travers d'outils qu'ils ne le sont pas.

  @neauoire i really want to play this again to take some notes on the level design, there were some HUGE and weird spaces it was my favorite Shiny game, together with Sacrifice "So long as culture was explained as originating from and elaborating upon the use of long, hard objects for sticking, bashing, and killing, I never thought that I had, or wanted, any particular share in it." Ursula K. Le Guin 1986 Spoke with Gauthier Roussilhe this morning, and have received this massive list of french researchers doing experiments with hardware and software longevity and preservation. I'm thinking about making a new page on permacomputing wiki with link to these various projects. I'm not quite sure how to go about adding non-english content to the wiki yet, so I might go ahead and translate some of it. Rek and I will be talking with the Frugarilla team tomorrow about similar topics, and all this comms with europe leaves me feeling like canada's really not on the pulse on this one. If you're aware of anyone in canada doing permacomputing adjacent research, please do send them my way.  @neauoire if you could write just one paragraph in English about what's behind each link that would already be a great service to the movement! Anyone can translate a page, but wouldn't find it if they didn't know what to look for... Watched the The Economics of Programming Languages talk from StrangeLoop, and I wonder why they don't consider building software projects in the language as a way to fund its development. The division between tooling and product are at the core of the funding issues. I understand the donation model, but from my experience the best way to fund language development is to build things people will be happy to give you money for, and using some of that money to improve the devtools(incl. language).

 @neauoire C happened because Unix was built in it. It was not load bearing before, and attempts to replace it have yet to displace it becuase nobody's dogfooded a whole OS (kernel and all) in any other language yet. I refuse to care about Rust/Go/Swift until a usable OS exists written in one that can rebuild itself under itself without needing any other language to complete that basic circle. It's not a load-bearing systems language otherwise, just a parasitic growth on the C ecology.  @neauoire I also watched it. The message seems to be that a language can't succeed without money, because as soon as it starts to catch on, a single hobbyist can't manage it anymore, so you need paid help. That is probably correct to some extent today, although I can cite some counter-examples. The validator.w3.org validation tips all link straight to github pages which don't render without javascript. Things are going great The new Dorian Electra is sick, but the double bass in this song esp. @bd sample looping/single shot works great! Thanks for the patch. So duration is altogether ignored with single-shots? I don't need to set it?  @neauoire exactly :) duration is only if you want "something" (audio-vector) to happen after some amount of time (in ms). it can be playing another sound for sequencing songs/melodies or just some other event. the thing to be mindful of is that *anything* that runs on the audio vector has its own stacks and should return as soon as possible, otherwise Bad Things TM can happen. |
@neauoire love it! just yesterday I was thinking jekyll is sooo tedious for a simple blog I want to keep.
@neauoire seems similar (but also even simpler) than mkws.sh
@neauoire i think doing something similar to this could be very helpful for updating my website now that i've established all the patterns by writing it in plain html!
