I've been toying with Marginalia's random site feature for the past hour, eventually I ended up on @renaudbedard's blog!

Adopting the speech inflection off of the robotic automated voices from the weather stations.

@neauoire I tend to pick up accents, I think it's part of my masking behaviors, so I can just imagine myself doing the same thing unconsciously after listening to that voice for a few days.

@neauoire 🖤 stone waves 🖤

How do they form? Does this phenomena have a name?

@neauoire the design for my next house..

@neauoire ocean/sea salt water carves these formations out of local shore stone. Fascinating! I bet “on growth and form” will have some examples. Thank you for sharing.
I am really jealous but happy for you!

After a few days of fine-tuning, I've managed to write a program that successfully turns an abritrary uxntal program source file into the style that I normally use when coding. It should help me parse other people's programs more easily when using unfamiliar indentation.

All these experiments at structured editing, reassembly, auto-formatting are my poking at better understanding which patterns are used in a language that lacks syntactical constructs.

@neauoire so what did you use in the end? [4 or [ ( 4 )? I couldn't quickly understand it from the code.

@neauoire given my current struggles with gestalting inputs for symbolic math, I'm not sure. On the one hand, I could just write the integrals out long hand. On the other, gotta go water the pot plants in the green house.

@neauoire ah yeah this book is high on my list after reading Ishmael. good to know it's similarly addictive.

@avi we're looking into entering Jervis Inlet, and I remember you said you had a cabin nearby. We could stop by if you tell us where it is :)

@neauoire cool! Can we take that convo to Signal or something? Fedi private messaging confuses me.

Between the aggresive type-checker, formatter, structured editor reassembler, I've built the perfect self-asphyxiation programming framework to never ever get anything done ever again. Don't mind me while I proof the hello world printing routines for a month.

@neauoire Law of conservation of static checks

Languages that don't start out with static checks will tend to add them or be replaced by other languages that do.

@neauoire now you can advertise: "the uxn programming environment has no side-effects"

@neauoire @akkartik

I haven't done this yet, but I know what you are talking about (except the email thing).

PS You guys are cool

I do a fair bit of uxntal code review these days and since each person has their own unique style, and sometimes I just can't understand the person's patterns at a glance, I wrote a tiny code formatter that standardizes any tal file to something pretty "standard"(or at least familiar to me). Here's a 1000 bytes rom that'll overwrite the source file with the formatted result. The linked source file is fed a minified source and here is the result:

I've been wondering about these static lists of things, and how I should break them into lines. Obviously, I can't just always make list of a fixed length, some data types, like 1-bit sprites will be 8 items wide, some LUTs will be 6 items wide. I was thinking, since we have this bracket rune, maybe specifying the width could be done this way:

@eli_oat I've made some changes to the permacomputing wiki to make this distinction clearer, and I was wonder if you had editing right for the site? If so, you could help improve the /concept and /projects pages.

@klardotsh Glad to see you made it safely to Montague. :) Enjoy your time at anchor! We were stressed for you today, sorry to see it was so crazy.

Since it looks like we'll have lots of friends gathered in Saint-Louis during Strange Loop, if I plan a Merveilles/Permacomputing meetup on the 20th, who's interested? Would you like to use this place to coordinate, or use the PM mailing list?

"baroque chains of dependencies"

Was that added in the latest revision? I don't remember reading this in the draft. It's perfect. :eccehomo:

@neauoire I found this really interested, but the art historian/permaculture designer in me wept a little when the paper wasn't able to root it's definition of "limits" in specific art practice nor permaculture design itself. That seems like a really powerful next step, to me, because it helps the community step further away from retro-nostalgia, which can be a little tangled up with capitalism
