To add onto the food preservation thread, which is unfortunately private. If you're hoping to keep oats for a while, don't stock up on the rolled oats, instead get whole oats, and process(grind/roll) them as needed, they take half as much space that way, and will last a lot longer.
tired blip
@neauoire I remember when you got (or were gifted?) that grinder; do you happen to have a model number or other documentation available for it if I were to look for a similar on the second hand market? This is one of those things I probably *could* find a higher-tech solution for, but don't *need* to (Though I guess a burr-style coffee grinder, like the one I have, actually probably works for grains in a pinch. It's just a motor and blades, eh?)

Finished revamping the graphical desktop calculator.rom(5537 bytes) source/download: https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/cccc

Added a little easter egg to the calculator, pressing `@` transforms the calculator button theme to that of the Macintosh System 7 calculator.

I'm planning to connect the gutters of my workshop to a couple of pallet tanks, to have decent water to grow some potatoes inside buckets in the backyard. There is a well, but it's pretty brackish, so I prefer not to use it.

The application I use most of all besides Left has got to be the crappy little graphical calculator that I made way back, it's time that I made a better one.

I love that depending which project I'm working on, the entire computer's look adapts to that project's theme. It's a bit jarring sometimes, but otherwise it's been nice, I always know where I'm at when I open a source file.

I've always wanted to try implementing a segment display, where each bit in a byte is a segment being turn on or off.

@neauoire if there ended up being tools using this as their interface, i think it'd be super useful in gur case of using a machine made from salvaged parts, if you can't get your hands on an lcd + ascosciated parts and don't have / can't power a monitor (or dont have video generation circuitry), you could build a basic terminal as a grid of 7 segment displays.

The book I'm reading talks about a word I hadn't come across before: "usufruct"(use the fruit) The right to enjoy the use and advantages of another's property short of the destruction or waste of its substance.

external quantum efficiency
@neauoire apparently different property systems distinguish the right to use, the right to benefits from, the right to modify, and the right to destroy. And maybe others as well ! So I think a farmer might have the right to use and modify a pasture, but not the right to destroy the pasture, because the community has an interest in farming continuing after the current farmer had passed on. Elinor Ostrom touches on some of this in Governing the Commons iirc.

Someone just "Oh, hell, I'm just too lazy to write my own programming language" at me. I always thought that THAT was the lazy option, it seems to be infinitely more work to learn some insane build toolchain, navigate vestigial compiler flags, jump through the hoops of using and learning some framework so that after weeks of sifting through documentation you can build some half working thing that will have to be maintained across the temperament of some maintainer somewhere. How's that lazy

@neauoire using someone else's language for sure feels like gur path of least resistance compared to writing one's own, i don't think it's quite lazziness, but i recon some of gur early bumps in gur road are enough to deter allot of folks, especially in gur case of people wanting to use [LIBRARYGOESHERE] in their projects.

Use OurPaint
@neauoire but ughhh.... Then you'll need to learn the assembly/binary for the target architecture...? And if you use llvm to handle that you'll still need that ir building blocks and write them in c or something... Often to me if I needed to use a lightweight script I just use some lua and call it a day
Darnell Clayton :verified:
@neauoire Thatβs akin to inventing a speaking language with all the grammatical rules to go with it! Plus letters, slang, getting a keyboard (virtual & physical) designed & made, etcetera. Both take up far more resources & time than people realize. Just as it is more efficient (time & energy wise) to use an established language to communicate, so it is more efficient to use an established programming language.

It has been more than 10 years since I last had a job. If each of our cells is remade over the course of 7 years, then not a single cell of my body has known what working was like, I have a faint memory of hating the whole thing, but physically I've never worked.

@neauoire I don't want to be intrusive and I know this might be a bit ignorant, but I'm genuine when I ask how have you been subsisting? I've been freelancing for some years and I've had some rough times. Do you mean job as in fixed/9-to-5? Do you guys get your income from your products? Crowd funding? or freelancing/remote projects?

Just stumbled on the most fascinating little graphics drawing bug from accidentally recording position offsets instead of absolute positions for the vertices of a stroke. I can see myself playing with this for hours.

It's raining today, wasn't sure what to do so I went ahead and finished the #uxn implementation of minesweeper.rom(3.2kb). Then I thought maybe adding theme support might be fun, and yes, I should have had it from the beginning.

We're packing to trek across the forest, beyond the sign that reads "It's not the bears that you should be worried about in this area, it's the wolves." "Do you have the tambourine?"

Added the WAIT operation to Adelie, so you can automate switching slides, it's ideal for creating little animation sequences, transitions between slides, etc..

@neauoire how much water does Pino carry plus how much in jerry cans?
I'm currently 1/3rd of water capacity on Irie, need to get new bladders.
