Tcl update: I think I love it. “Everything is a string” seems to fit with the way my brain works.

I’ve read a lot about why it’s bad (and a few counterarguments) and a lot of those objections make sense, but this the closest I’ve come to feeling like I understand what I’m doing writing code.

Newest creative project: my largest and most intricate stamp yet! The carving process took many hours.

one man experiments with modular computer. blocks with magnetic snapping. PI4 Compute block. HDMI output.

love the instant on small display that changes based on attached blocks.

@akkartik @vertigo that does destroy the value in EDX.

In the original colorForth, EDX is used as a scratch register as well as the A register. You need to be careful when using it. (I know that some later variants from others have changed the implementation of swap to avoid this.)

Just pushed to Uxn repo: running the VM without the GUI window, and the beginnings of an automated test suite 😀

Hello everyone! I'm Andy, and I'm so excited to be here!

I'm a sysadmin from Cambridge in the UK, and have earnt a Merveilles invitation by hacking about with @neauoire's Uxn. I think my contributions span three lines of code so far!

I'm in the middle of a mechanical keyboard building project, inspired by @Kooda here. It's gone on for ages and might be suffering from feature creep. I'm sure by the time it's running Uxn and I can phone and SMS people with it, it'll be finished.

*picks up bits of brain all over the floor*

I did a takedown request on opensea to get someone to stop selling one of my drawings.

Opensea added me to their fucking mailing list.

If I bitwise AND the mouse.x and mouse.y positions I get this crazy fractal pattern *____*

Please remember: functional cookies (login session, shopping carts) do not need user consent. So every time you see one of this oversized cookie banners someone is trying (often through dark patterns) to make you accept the whole tracking and spying as well. Don't be mad at the legislative for creating the need for tracking consent. Be mad at the websites that are trying to stir you up against that law by annoying you with those banners.

@akkartik Hmm, I think this only handles a single disk? I tried to implement ATA for #CollapseOS a few months ago and I remember there being more possible I/O ports than that. And since I wanted ATA so that CollapseOS could install itself onto different drives that could then be transferred to different machines, multi-drive operation was a requirement. Maybe I could extend this if/when I resume that project...

early on in software design for flexibility there is a procedure defined like this:

(define ((iterate n) f) ...)

the (iterate n) is weird to me. I've never seen that and it's not valid procedure syntax in guile. is this some wacky mit/gnu scheme extension?

Imagine real-life bureaucracy dealings having WIndows XP sound effects!
