 Assembling Oquonie with Drifblim(self-hosted uxntal assembler) takes about 600ms, which allows me to hot-reload as I type. If I don't wipe the zero-page on change(where I keep all the state globals), it almost feels like I'm doing edit in place. Wanting to dive into this and improve this process is distracting me from actually doing the thing I've set out to do. :angy: I've been appending to my wiki for over 17 years, damn.

 @neauoire Most of people are not able to structure their thoughts so well and be so systematic, over so many years. As a parent who would like to encourage its child's development, I am curious - do you have a diagnosis why are we (as counties or societies) so disorganized, unable to focus and follow a vision, unable to learn as perhaps you have studied to learn? Do you see any main pivotal topics, missing from our education (assuming that there is sth like a common "western" kind of education)?

@neauoire i find it more fascinating that turbo pascal saved his life out in the seas @neauoire and thank you for reminding me again about him, I remember discovering him because of nokolisp I've been reading Dealers Of Lightning, and the sequence when PARC tries to buy a PDP-10, SDS's competing product, and everyone at corporate looses their minds made me laugh so much Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums Listening to HEALTH's Decimation, trying to find a way to rapidly construct tree data-structures with uxntal lambdas. :maru: @wim_v12e "Everything fails," people say. "Hey, especially software." Software Does Not Fail. To be said to fail, software would have to work in the first place then not work in the second place. Software does not do that.  @neauoire Ported Oquonie to the latest changes to the screen device. It should make it slightly faster on the playdate as well, it removes thousands of cycles wasted drawing the flipped assets one sprite tile at a time.

 @neauoire I bought a copy on Itch 4 years ago and I'd love to buy the Playdate version. Where can I find it?  @neauoire @nettles I was happy to test with oquonie and found that it didn't break anything. I'll be able to remove a whole bunch of shim code and make it faster. Thank you so much for the idea <3 When you read "I am a full-stack developer" on someone's website, you can be certain to expect a 1mb icon font download from a cdn to draw the magnifying glass icon in the site's search bar.

Spent the evening yesterday with people who've also sailed to japan and back. They did it in a 35' long sailing vessel that they built themselves. They said that back in the 70s, that length was considered long compared to the average. Nowdays, the word on the street is that a bigger longer ship is safer. But problems never get smaller by getting a larger vessel.  @klardotsh hey check it out, someone's making a zig implementation of uxn @neauoire looking at your screencasts has been a pleasure for me, there's something so attractive about your setup that it makes me "fall in love at first sight" in a hyperbolic sense :) I can't get my eyes off this GIF even while writing this. Many times this summer, people from other boats have come over to see us to tell us they have watched our videos way back when. I didn't think we had any reach with those beyond our immediate circle

@neauoire I grew up wishing to be a liveaboard but thinking it had somehow become impossible over the last century. ^▾^ I forget how I found them, but those videos were my first exposure to the idea that it's still possible. The visual and audio aesthetic also made them such cozy videos. ^-^ Every month it felt like getting to sit down with a good cup of coffee on a foggy day or something. @neauoire I too discovered you and @rek by your sailing videos. It’s not a topic I follow so not sure how it came up originally. I think there’s an intrinsic attraction or magnetism to people who share and follow their passion. I think that came through earnestly in your videos. Was fun watching your progress. Replacing every single-use label for a lambda, things look so much neater(as far as an assembly language can be neat).  Porting projects to making use of lambdas, the ability to nest them is really nice. In screenshot, left is button handling with lambdas, right is without where each state has to have a unique label. Took the train from chicago to san francisco a couple of years back, and am about to do it the other way from seattle to saint-louis. I'm very much looking forward to it! #TrainJam

@neauoire ah *hell yeah*, I knew it was possible 😄
@neauoire hell yeah! getting into flow with hot reloading on creative programming is gur most pure and mesmerising exerience ive ever had on a computer! it just all feels so magical like im a real wizzard developing a new spell from gur depths of some strange trance like mediditation between me and my machine
