 @neauoire Did something happen the past 12 hours? I've seen multiple ppl talking about a spam problem. (I've mainly not moved b/c of inertia.)  @neauoire TBH I was thinking that I should raise a question about silencing their instance… Building a new rugged bimini to protect ourselves from the sun this summer.  #lifehack of the day. When an allen key becomes so used up that it spins in the socket, cut off the rounded bit and keep on using it.

 @neauoire "I hardly ever use Left's save/load feature, my emulator has a save img feature, so I just resume where I left off" 👀 ok, want. Thanks to @asie, there are now 3DS and NDS roms for Donsol! I'm trying to find practical implementations, and just general fun things people made, with concurrency in #forth. There's a lot of hand-waving and saying that yeah, like, it's easy no problem don't worry 'bout it, but very little linking to actual examples. Does anyone have written concurrent programs in forth? I'd love to see it. :)

 @neauoire There were a number of single processor cooperatively multitasking FORTHs back in the day, including F83. You can probably find code for that system on the ‘net. I’ve also built some real multi core stuff in FORTH, which is “easy” only in the sense that FORTH words are usually reentrant so long as each process/task has its own stack (modulo a few details). @neauoire Not online or practical, but maybe fun and slightly educational. I dug up code I made in 1986 using MacForth's cooperative multi-tasking to run 4 graphical sorts at once. Syntax core was: Spent the day trying to solve the dining philosophers problem in Uxntal, and got absolutely nowhere.

@neauoire it seems to be a cool issue! the c++ implementation is already cryptic, i guess changing language is even harder... you have the concept of semaphore? You should have seen everyone's faces when I accidentally invited our friend to her own surprise birthday party. 🤦♀️  @neauoire you absolute drongo But I’ve been 👌 this close to doing it sooo many times… @spiralganglion I've been listening to the FOC podcast everyday at the gym for a while now, starting at the first one and making my way to latest series where you talk about papers. I would looove to hear you two's thoughts on the Cuniform Paper Of Computing paper, I think it would fit really nicely within the FOC topics. I'm loving your conversation with Jimmy, keep it up.  We'll be spending the next few weeks stocking up for the summer. Beyond Texada Island, we won't be able to resupply much, so we carry food for about 4-6 months aboard. We don't use refrigeration at all, so the way we manage to eat fresh greens is by sprouting, which is a habit that we've kept up for a few years now. Each day we have a cup of sprouted legumes ready to cook with. Dried legumes keep for a long time, and sprouting them reduces our usage of fuel to cook them.

@neauoire  @neauoire in my everyone sprouting uses quite a bit of water. How much fresh water do you carry? Do you recycle the soaking/rinsing water? Made a cozy rack for our solar oven. #theBoatyard

 Counting the days 'til casting off. The weather is getting nicer, everyone's working outside on getting their ship ready for the end of may.

I've ported the little Note Pad application last week, and it turned out to be a lot more practical than I expected. I have it open all day long and by the day's end its 8 pages are full of snippets and things I've collected. I admire the minimalism of the original one, but lacking shortcuts for jumping between words and the lack of shift+mouse selection was annoying, so I've added those. https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn-utils/tree/main/item/gui/notepad/notepad.tal  @neauoire @tendigits someone made a patch to fix the weird OSX issue with sprintf  Parallel self-modifying programming has all sorts of fun non-deterministic effects. In this case, the color to paint is written in memory instead of being kept safely on the stack. You can see the different states of the threads. |
