The task is too much for one :uxn:? Ask a friend for help.
It's crazy how good the stack architecture maps on parallelism. Also, it's crazy how self-modification throws a wrench in parallelism.

@neauoire do it do it .ake smalltalk (I'm saying this cause I was planning on implementing smalltalk (or a similar oldschool OOP language) myself @rezmason Stumbled on this interesting reversible cellular automata today, I think you might like: The nice weather is coming back and we're nearly ready to cast off. We have to resupply for the summer, and haul out to check that everything under the waterline is in good shape - then, we're heading north. We've done an awful lot of changes to the ship this winter, we're excited to go put these experiments to the test. We've collected details notes on the various modifications these past few months here: Each time I implement form logic, I learn a few new tricks, I've always been a bit scared of handling negative length selection(when selection-to, is before the selection-from). Turns out there's not much to it beyond making helper functions that returns the range and flips thing when they're negative.  Went ahead and implemented both-ways selection in Left after learning to do it with Note Pad.  @neauoire I had this computer setup for a while. Those 9845s cost as much as a house when they were new but if you work for the company that makes them it's easier.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
 @neauoire ok, what's #solarprotocol (the hashtag shows it part of lots of cool sounding things, but not exactly what it is π )? This talk by Jon Corbett on the Cree's star chart keyboard is amazing. I remember reading this post about his work on esoteric codes.

 @neauoire this echoes nicely @johncarlosbaez posts on the recently developed Inuit numerical notation system ! @neauoire Seeing this project for the first time blew my mind and I continue to draw inspiration from it. FYI: Jon Corbett's talk is at 4h:34m: Implemented a near-identical version of the macintosh "Note Pad" application, with a couple of fixes. It compiles to a neat 7kb #uxn rom. source: https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn-utils/tree/main/item/gui/notepad/notepad.tal Hyped for the talks this afternoon at Causal Islands by Ramsey Nasser and Maggie Appleton. I was thinking about the macintosh's Note Pad application today, I couldn't remember if there was a limit to the data it could store, if you could access the data anywhere, so I had to look it up. There's a limit of 8 pages, there's also a pretty cute little detail here where the top-right corner of the fold brings you to the next note, and the other to the last note. It looks like there is a note pad file that is saved automatically in the drive after all. @neauoire Probably also the usual TextEdit Manager limit of 32K (per note in this case)? |
@neauoire Yep, there's a good reason highly parallel code tends to prefer pure functions and read-only data.
@neauoire i only ever thought of map and reduce and such mapping to parallelism. how does stack help?
@neauoire Note Pad lives!
