 So, Yeti on the #uxntal mailing list discovered a genius way to print inline strings(as opposed to passing a reference to that piece of text), and @tty rewrote it to be this super lean 10 bytes long implementation. I've added it to this collection of routines: https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal_library.html#strings "Because, in a world where Creation and Communication are heavily commercialized, the act of Creating a Thing or building a community that doesn’t enrich our corporate overlords is a radical act."

 @neauoire "and you’re left with HBO/DISCOVERY, Disney, Facebook, and Joe Rogan" Jeez this author should have a go at writing horror novels, they already wrote the pilot.... "To minimize suffering and to maximize security were natural and proper ends of society and Caesar. But then they became the only ends, somehow, and the only basis of law — a perversion. Inevitably, then, in seeking only them, we found only their opposites: maximum suffering and minimum security." Walter M. Miller Jr. I've been doing my drawtobers with a 🎃 theme to put me in the spirit. Only a week left of #drawtober! This month just flew right by. One thing I like about assembly programming is the reuse of routine bodies, not returning from a routine and falling through to the next one when needing to append something before a routine.   @neauoire It's interesting how, depending on the sort of programmer you ask, one will say it's wonderful and another will say it's a terrible idea. 😈 "Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together." :glenda: I tend to open my binaries in a pixel art editor to see deadzones, like I noticed here there's a 8 byte buffer(blank zone in the middle of the code), that should be moved to the zero-page. Anyone else have this habit?

@neauoire Hehe, that's a fun one. Makes me think of how insightful it can be to visualize data differently[1]. @neauoire This has got some Cypher Maxtrix "I don’t even see the code anymore" energy 😂

Before anyone asks, all the drawings are made in a little drawing program called Noodle.  Thrilled to be sharing the stage at Handmade Seattle next month with Peter van Hardenberg and Rasmus Andersson to share our experiments with personal computing. I know a handful of people there who will be joining us, I'm not sure how you'd like to coordinate this all, but right now I have an email thread with a couple of people. Anyone in the area who want to meet up, get in touch :) @cancel I've been having the funnest back and forth with someone. First they sent me an email like, "how do I uninstall uxn32", here's how it went: them: "So where is the rest of the emulator?"  @neauoire @cancel I had a similar thing happen with Fennel; someone on windows downloaded the compiler and they were like "where's the installer; I wanted an installer" and it was like ... why would you want an installer when you could just ... get the program that you were going to use the installer to install? I don't know if I'll ever understand windows users. Added d-pad controls to my little RPN calculator, made a b&w mode so I can load it up on the playdate.   Oh, that's just the text cartridge running empty. You just have to insert a new cartridge if you want to keep putting text in the computer. I can't stop thinking about making a DAW, something like Cubase on Macintosh. It's keeping me up at night, and as much as I try to tell myself that it's completely stupid, I don't need a daw, I don't even know what I would do with the thing even, I don't need to write more software, it's just-no, the idea is still there, and it's stopping me from thinking about other things which is taking its toll. I think I'll have to just get it over with so I can move on with my life. Let's begin by making something like Mario Paint, a simple piano roll that lets me paint notes, see how much steam I have left when I get there, hopefully it'll discourage me to keep going.

Jingu’s rebuilding is designed to reproduce the existing structures as exactly as possible. Each rebuilding uses the same materials, the same construction techniques, and is built from the same set of drawings. Rekka and I lived right by the Ise Jingu, just a forest bikeride away. https://theprepared.org/features-feed/ise-jingu-and-the-pyramid-of-enabling-technologies via @akkartik, on the CollapseOS mailing list  @neauoire Ise Shrine is a place I am unlikely to ever personally visit, but which will inspire me until I die, just because I know it exists and what's going on there. It's like a physical manifestation of the type of society I'd want to live in :blobhearteyes: Last year, I wrote the worst text-editor imaginable, in assembly. A little over a year later of daily use, it has become the most fun and most beautiful text editor I could have never dreamed of.

 Kudos to SL for immortalizing it in the last FUCK COMPUTERS zine. I'm gonna stick it to the bathroom wall-of-fame.  |

@neauoire @tty oh this is brilliant. Can't do something like this in high level languages!
@neauoire 🥰
