Contacted StrangeLoop with some background information on Hundred Rabbits, and what sort of projects I would love to speak about. They immediately replied that this was a good fit for the "Strange Software" track.

Yeah okay, I can do strange.

:mocking:

@neauoire their website says this is going to be the last ever StrangeLoop, is that true? By then I’ll hopefully have had my first job out of grad school for a few months so I think I can afford attending!

Made a little companion REPL to Left, select a bit of code and press ctrl+p to have it assembled and evaluated in the Bicycle window. It's a good way to learn how #uxntal translates to bytes, and vice-versa.

@neauoire oooh, that's exactly what I need rn 👀 I think it's time I should finally check out your workflow for these kind of gems

Understanding enums in #uxntal. Or, the recurring "why is the device page overlapping the zero-page" question.

@neauoire ohhhhh my god it all makes sense now!
that's a really cool technique :D

Inspecting the boat, we found this beautifully corroded hose-clamp, you can hardly tell what it is anymore. We're taking the whole thing out and putting a new thru-hull.

Trying out plastic(Marelon) thru-hulls for the first time, we've also upsize the drain so it'll stop clogging up whenever a bit of mud falls down the drain.

It's the anchor locker drain.

@neauoire There's a Project Farm video about hose clamps on YouTube, but the conclusion is "Breeze" brand hose clamps are the best. The 6600 series is 100% 316 stainless.

Added a few notes to the #uxntal page on how to quote/unquote opcodes and functions. "Quoting" here means to defer an operation, as in in, evaluating it later. It's doubles as a little introduction to Uxn's self-modification patterns.

@neauoire I'm learning uxntal on the weekends, and the new notes are helpful. Thanks!

I still don't quite understand the use-case of leaving unexecuted opcodes on the stack though. In your example you use use quoting to apply an operation recursively to an array, but I imagine that a method could be written which gives identical results but does not use quoting. If that's the case then what's the advantage of writing unexecuted opcodes to the stack? There must be a reason. What am I missing?

Still wasting my time experimenting with arity checking in uxntal. I feel like there's something there to explore, but I can't say I really found what it is yet.

@neauoire I suspect it's impossible to guarantee. You'll either disallow legal programs or let illegal ones through.

@neauoire Labor + torium = room for work

Exploratorium = room for exploring (also a name for a museum in SF)

Experitorium = room for experiences / experiments

When I veto applicants to the webring I often end up having to check the author's twitter profile, and fuuuuck that site, I'm glad almost everyone I know left that place. Each time I end up on there I feel like Twitter takes a big shit in my head.

I end up just using nitter, but even then, that doesn't change the content of the posts...

@neauoire it's hard to break from the 'potential reach' but the quality spiral has been so fast it's not worth it and inevitably will be tumbleweeds rolling between bot armies arguing.

@neauoire
I am starting to think that that there's a disconnect between what I see and what others see on twitter.

For me it's: cool art, memes and a sprinkle of poetry.

Can't tell if my internal filter blocks all of the negative posts out or if the platform actually provides the content that I enjoy.

It's nuts that the solar oven works even on totally overcast days. It's 6'C outside, windy and overcast. We were able to cook a whole tray of seitan this morning. Why isn't this more known

@neauoire Lack of consumables. Not good. Burn gas, release CO2, water hot, sometimes boom, hurr durr.

I guess it does not work indoors or at night, not "convenient".

How much do those cost and how hard is the maintenance/cleaning?

@neauoire You know what would be really cool? Imagine having a heat pipe transporting the energy inside your boat and keeping the solar collector on top. 1 m2 of pipes could make about 0.5-1 kW so becoming, in principle, equal to a standard electric oven. Being 200-250C the maximum temperature you can reach with standard heat pipes, it's not totally impossible to build it! ;-)

@neauoire this could use a "screen reader unfriendly" cw, or maybe edit the repeating text

@neauoire really interested to hear more on what and how

@neauoire may I ask what was the weather like while you were cooking? I've been super curious about solar cooking for awhile.

Jason

@neauoire pretty neat! How many servings can you cook up in there?

Devil Lu Linvega

So, @rek and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.

We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

@neauoire @rek Cool! (Or should I rather say “hot”?!j) what to search for to get more information?

Anne

@neauoire very cool! I wouldn't mind trying this at home and when camping.
