@rek yes there is that myth that one would need at least a cargo bike to replace a car but you can already carry a lot with a simple rear rack rated for 25kg and decent panniers.

Add to that an hiking backpack, possibly a front rack or basket and you can carry even more. And it scales automatically with the people going with you, unlike when using a motorized vehicle.

@rek grains smuggling 😄

France's throughput of funding weird computer science stuff is impressive.

@neauoire @capital really? it seems a natural enough fit i’d expect gol to be the hello world of string rewriting

@neauoire @capital that’s so rad, nice job!!

@neauoire

🥳

@neauoire

All the best!

@capital no way! That's awesome. The first GOL, is the rewriting fast? Does the undefinition operator cuts down on a lot of rewriting?

@neauoire oowwhh ! feel better (I hope there is like a cream that works for that. something natural that can easily be found in a pantry would be even better)

@neauoire Bag balm! Corn husker’s lotion! Hope you feel better soon.

Here are some details on how lines are cleared.

After the piece is placed, the game stops, then:

1) every line gets scanned and numbers of filled lines are going to that upside down pyramid
2) The pyramid outputs the least line number and line is being cleared
3) X operands that hold #, writes it up from cleared line to make everything above move down (S operands falls down naturally)
4) scanning happens again, loop is repeated on until there are no filled lines. And the game continues.

@vacuumbeef This is so crazy. I don't think most people can appreciate the genius in this - I've never seen anything like it.

@neauoire Arguably it hasn't spun right in a long while :blobcat_not_like_googly:

@neauoire Maybe it's time to purchase a mini lathe. :P

Obviously, it's one of those "they stopped manufacturing these in the 90s, the new one is 70$ for the little wheel thingy" sort of situation.

Cannibalized a cheap SS block to get the wheel, 10$ near-perfect fit.

@neauoire

Careful. Enjoy your cruise.

@neauoire it's giving that illegalist guy vibes

I love our new lights, it makes cooking dinner a lot easier. The whole kitchen area lighting takes about a 3/4 of an amp, which is fine for our setup.

@neauoire Ohhh nice, I need some of these myself. I live in an RV away from the city, but its an older one and most of the lights are horrific florescent ones. I think most people hate these and being autistic with light sensitivity its 10x worse. Been hanging up some warmer colored lights, just they need to be low power and hopefully don't get too hot.

@neauoire seeing fresh greens in your kitchen is wild

@brood things I wish someone had told my younger self

Luckily I think there's only two things that I desperately miss not having a copy of

@brood The most cost-effective archival medium that I have found are M-Disc BluRay discs (25GB or 100GB for ~$2.60 / ~$13 respectively) with a stated 1000 year lifespan under controlled conditions that aren't too onerous.

@brood No doubt about it. I recently discovered "Readeck", what a fantastic piece of gold to store articles :). (self-hosted opensource)

@tendigits yes! Orca lends itself well to making this reactive audio things <3
