 We've had the solar oven for a few months now, and ever since we left the dock, we have used it nearly everyday. It's not even a question if we'll use it or not for something. We're just asking ourselves each day, so, what what we shove in the vacuume tube. Rek is making cake in it right now, with flour that I milled this morning.

  @neauoire @csepp @spiralganglion @eli_oat A couple of years ago I did a phone call with my parents. My mom picked up and we chatted a bit. Where's Dad? Oh he's right here he's just dozing next to me. Tilt the phone, quick shot of him dozing. The next day he went in for another trip to the ICU. He never came out. A week later he was dead. So that phone call was my last chance to talk to him, and I had no idea. If the tide and wind push us off in the right direction, we get just enough signal to load brutaldon in under a minute.  @neauoire do people put cell boosters at the top of the mast? Seems like it could help a ton. Arriving in Desolation Sound, the only explicable reason as to why anyone, looking at these luxurious towering hills, would call them that, is that maybe they wanted to be left alone, making sure nobody would be tempted to go a place with such a name.

Sailed from Thunder Bay, to Texada with a perfect breeze coming to the side, listening to Lane 8's mixtapes. 🎵

@neauoire Do you use the scuttlebutt network on your trip by any chance? https://scuttlebutt.nz/

 @eli_oat when I go on your profile with the mastodon client, it says: Eli's featured hashtags: :moomin_eyes_blush: Formalising a Simple Virtual Machine Spending the day anchored, not moving for once. Enjoying some image programming coding to music. The Go tool I normally use to dither my images doesn't work on the pinebook, and firefox is fucked, so I can't use dither-it. So, to make my slides for SL23, I'll use this thing that assigns patterns to a gradient. I think it'll work out.

  @neauoire (I have a Python dithering tool). Is the Go on Pinebook problem for all Go code or just this particular tool? I've been considering porting the ditherer. Following in the tracks of SV Bosun Bird, each day we asked ourselves "so what are we going to do today?", "Adventuring is what!" A finite-state machine whose only tape is a FIFO queue of unbounded length, such that in each transition the machine reads the symbol at the head of the queue, deletes a constant number of symbols from the head, and appends to the tail a symbol-string that depends solely on the first symbol read in this transition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_system @neauoire I've been thinking about how stack machines could be used to implement an efficient programming language on top of one-instruction set machines like SUBLEQ. This might be another way to approach it, though I need to get my SUBLEQ emulator running again.  @neauoire Since a Post tag machine as originally defined only halts when the FIFO is empty (_if_ that happens), is it able to provide any useful output? Or do you have to define a halt symbol to get that? I can't quite put my finger on why, but there's something very annoying about @lynn's C implementation of mandelbrot compiling to Uxntal and running faster than the Uxntal native implementation haha XD  Tempted to use this top-down notation in a REPL program for Strange Loop. Back in early spring, I asked for reading suggestions for the summer and we've been slowly going through them these past few weeks, thank you all so much for the suggestions! I can't remember who suggested what, but everything has been fantastic!  We hardly see anyone on the water these days, internet has been pretty much non-existant until this evening. Exploring what can only be described as a very pretty Bryce3D render.

 Glad to see you! Did you meet your current neighbours, the "people beneath the waves"?  |

@neauoire Incredibly silly question, but do you have any links on the solar oven? I've been enjoying the updates on it and am feeling the itch to try it myself!
