@wim_v12e I'd like to have you thoughts on this idea, if you have the time, it doesn't have to be right away. But for a little while now I've been thinking of adding something to uxntal, or maybe make it its own language, but basically uxntal with inline definitions. You could anonymous segments of code, and the assembler would write those in memory someplace, and just put their address as a LIT2 at the definition. Any thoughts on this? That's your department.

@neauoire @wim_v12e i've always felt that these should be like strings. the anon def is compiled right into the word, with a skip-over put before it, and a literal after (or similar mechanism). The classic FORTH word DOES> does something a little bit like that.

@neauoire maybe late to the party, but does this do anything for you?

In more ornate but still realistic cases, things become worse:

int *(*pfp)();

@neauoire i don't think it's bad at all (especially if you have typedef)

What I think is bad about C is, for example, this:

char c = 0x80;
printf("%d", c==0x80);

Went for dinner, came back and had to scroll through two pages of new followers notifications from almost exclusively the hachyderm instance. Could one of you care to explain?

Does anyone know what happened to Su Hang?

Every evening, Rek does readings to me from Sylvie & Bruno, we're almost done. We fall asleep laughing at Bruno's delightful and totally absurd humour and.. the demented illustrations.

@neauoire "Crabbed age" sounds like the distant future era the protagonist visits in HG Wells's Time Machine

@neauoire Thanks, I don't know this book! For those who are wondering who is the illustrator : it's Harry Furniss. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

It turns out that I spend way more time editing 80-columns text files than I expected, so I added a way in Left to add some words in the body of a paragraph, and reformat it to fit. A tiny addition, that'll save me a ton of time.

Didn't the Amstrad PCW have this in it's editor?

There has been a tiny change to Varvara(#uxn) where the #00 Screen/sprite value will, from now on, only clear the pixels that are present in the sprite data at Screen/addr*. I've ported all the 100r roms to support the change, and updated the docs.

@neauoire What hardware and OS do you host Varvara on now?

tbsp

@neauoire I believe the launcher uses /projects/library/load-rom.tal which uses an old screen clearing routine (instead of pixel fill) which fails to properly clear the screen after this change.

We're always gathering notes for projects we'll try to tackle in the upcoming winter, but one that I've been particularly looking forward is to take out the household water tank we put under the v-bert, and build one from scratch that follows the curves of the bow, built into the hull itself.

Avi Bryant

@neauoire it will be far from a perfect fit but I do have the water tank from under the v-berth of my Albin that you are welcome to.

Ethan Rosenthal

@neauoire Not a water tank, but my dad built a holding tank out of fiberglass that follows the curve of the hull, if you're looking for ideas: sltf.com/boat/system/plumbing/

As the forecasts for next summer are rolling in, we're making plans to prepare Pino over the winter so we can ride the heat wave out in the damp and foggy Broughtons next year.

I haven't been able to browse the javascript web for weeks now, I miss watching music videos on youtube most of all.. I'll have so much stuff to catch up on over the winter, kind of looking forward to that.

@neauoire this makes me wonder, does PeerTube operate without javascript 🤔

leah & asm & forth, oh my!

@neauoire when i used to use links (on the linux console) full-time i relied on youtube-dl and mplayer for that. it worked really well, although i don't think i ever figured out how to make it do the thing automatically (and lacking cut'n'paste, i got really good at remembering random 11-character strings ;-)

nowadays i use yt-dlp, but the principle is the same

Tim Lavoie

@neauoire What's causing the JS issue for you?

Summer downpour with a cup of lapseng. I finished Hommage To Catalonia yesterday, I wonder what I should read next. I'm eyeing the copy of Wisniewski-Snerg's Robot in the shelf right now.

A very nice looking spaceship just came to anchor by our side.

@neauoire looks like one of the corsair/farrier folders maybe?

@sigrid I have a SDL question for you, I was wondering if instead of wrinting to uxn_screen.pixels, we couldn't write directly to the sdl_texture, the pixel data is the same format I think, do you think it'd be possible to not have to allocate memory for the pixels that way?

Devil Lu Linvega

Sometime since the last time I visited Github, they've removed the ability to browse without Javascript. I have PRs pilling up, but I can't handle them. I think it's time to move the webring off of there. I'll migrate it to sourcehut as soon as I can.

Morgan Arnold

@neauoire Ah, I just made a PR on the Awesome Uxn repo. Should I expect that to be moved to Sourcehut?
