We were kidding around a few weeks back about how we could turn Hundred Rabbits into a shipping-by-sail company.
Well, we're completing our first delivery tomorrow >__>

*makes a backup of everything I've worked on these past two years, source files and and binaries* 238kb @neauoire this reminds me of when i was using plan9, it would make nightly backups and it never came close to filling the drive, even after like, a year. (copy-on-write backups, but still)

I miss working on my lovely Thinkpad, for energy reasons I've taken to work principally on the Pinebook, despite its.. many flaws. I've quite embraced the weekly ritual of replacing the ducktape strip that holds the trackpad in place.  @neauoire thinkpad are good boys (best boys are doggos obviously)
pinebook is interesting on the paper but is nowhere near industrial (high end) laptops (thinkpad, XPS, etc.), sadly  I'm daily-driving a RPi 400 to keep the heat in my office down during summer. I habitually re-press modifier/shift keys now because that thing's keyboard firmware does a poor job detecting them. π  @neauoire Is it vectorized? Can it be enlarged? π

@neauoire That's completely novel! How cool!! Love the hat tip to Classic MacOS: "You can set any desktop pattern you like, but you might not *want* to" π  @neauoire looks awesome! (i noticed that https://rabbits.srht.site/potato/potato.rom is currently a dead link) I think I want to design and build a desktop environment. I believe I've figured out all the different parts I need for this.

 @neauoire That's strange, I thought you entered the Matrix after your second coffee in the afternoon  @neauoire Wait, is this a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_School_Bus reference?! Improved the Orca patch that I use to test permuations of operators. It's fun to look at it run :maru: Every time I see a dev with a decked out computer with LED lights, colorful fans, glowing tubes all sorts of shits sticking out of the thing, without miss, they write bloated as fuck slow programs.

1. Everybody's programs are bloated compared to yours π 2. I know lots of people with sleek, streamlined (often silver colored) computers that write bloated programs π @neauoire While my PC *does* have a glowing fan, I actually hate it and didn't realize how bright it'd be when I grabbed it, it was just the cheapest effective option >_> I've also deliberately disconnected the lights on the case from the power supply, because why on Earth would I want my computer glowing? Given that I do most of my personal dev work on decade-old hardware at best, I'm fairly sure I tend to do a good job with regards to efficiency :) Jam for 10 minutes, find bug, fix bug, jam for 10 minutes, find bug, fix bug, jam for 10 minutes.. Everyday of this past month we've spent 3 hours in the forest exploring old logging trails, it seems the deeper we go, the more branching trails we find, each time we go further than the last. We're finally starting to know our way through the ferns.  @neauoire seems like the description of a Bethe lattice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethe_lattice New bolder Orca font, fresh out of the oven! π₯ Thanks to everyone who suggested improvements :) Hopefully this will make projected livecoding sources more readable for the people at the back!  @neauoire Oh man Orca looks so cool! I just love the idea of showing the formula as well as the current state in the same view. I really should try to get it running on a machine. "We can't see the characters at all on the projected screen with that thin orca-uxn font!" Good point, typography time. It was a totally valid criticism that Orca's font was so thin that nobody could even read the code projected on the screen, so here's my attempt at a thicker font :) It combines my favourite elements of Input Mono, Chicago and VGA. Not too sure about the 'g' and 'y' ascending line at the bottom, I might remove them so it's more in line with the f which doesn't have one. Here's a little story I wrote. I had just fought my way through a blizzard, on the request of a friend who invited me over to witness the completion of a recent project. I hung my snow-covered coat on something that, by the look of it, might very well have been a time machine. A silhouetted shape across the dark room, invites me to make my way through the unlit workshop and join them. Arched over a heap of what I first perceived to be a exposed innards of some camera-like mechanism, my friend held a minuscule weight above an equally small machined brass hand. After allowing only ever the briefest of time to settle myself before the inscrutable contraption, they carefully lowered a pea-sized weight onto the machine's opened palm.   Let me introduce you to one of my favourite #esolang. Thue is a matrioshka esoteric computer based on string rewriting rules. A Thue program consists of two parts: a list of substitution rules, which is terminated with a line having both sides of the operator empty, followed by a string representing the initial program state, which may extend over multiple lines.  Wrote a little Thue program that bounces a ball back and forth and writes "ping", "pong" when it hits the walls.

I wonder if getas(wooden sandals) would be good boat shoes.. Half the time I only need shoes to get across beds of barnacles. I just need something that's easy to repair.

@neauoire my primary shoes are chala sandals. i bought these ones, but when they wear through i intend to make my own next time, out of whatever junk material i have available essentially they are insoles with paracord knotted in a particular way. i like them for the simplicity, they work well to protect my feet in town without restricting them https://chala.de/en/chala-run/ (beware, some other products on site are leather) @neauoire hemp sandals are easy enough to fix if you keep a little ball of hemp thread on the boat. also, you could experiment with making full scale hemp shoes. canβt be too difficult. |
