Over a month later, and I'm still using Kagi. It's good.

These make me feel weird and icky, almost like a BLIT reference.

an interesting old thread of mine about ppus (reposted with working link)

Wrote a little Thue program that bounces a ball back and forth and writes "ping", "pong" when it hits the walls.

Some wild things happening over in McCLIM development land http://turtleware.eu/posts/Tixel-Viewer.html

For two (positive) integers N and M, the properties of their greatest common divisor gcd() and the least common multiple lcm() come in pairs; the phenomenon is partly explained by the formula gcd(M, N) × lcm(M, N) = M × N. 🤯

#introduction Hi I'm Paul, aka @paul

I'm a computer music composer and researcher, currently interested in what it means for computers to "sing".

I've been a big fan of the Merveilles community for years, and I'm excited to be amongst you all now :)

I wanted a place to make virtual art installations so I've started building this flexible exhibition of sorts

Here's something I have never seen before.

The binary for the graphical calculator works BOTH as a graphical user interface, and is equally usable in the console without the GUI.

The same rom file can be used with both the cli and gui emulators.

Ok, I now have permission to talk about this project in full and in public. I'm working with Alan Kay to build six replicas* of a Xerox PARC Alto display for use in a museum exhibit**. Visitors will see a real Alto and then walk over to one of the replicas to futz with Smalltalk '78***.
Here's a nice writeup of a different project that rejuvenated an actual Alto.

"I find the vision of freely trading ideas, techniques, and code appealing—I am passionate myself about sharing information and ideas ... I want a world in which there is a strong population of craftsmen developers, who deeply care about the quality of their software, and who mentor each other to further pursue the limits of computing.

Unfortunately, throwing our code [at and to] large corporations—will not get us there... "

First-ever Gitea pull request from a remote instance!!! 🎉🥳

https://git.exozy.me/Ta180m/Hello-world/pulls/3

I've been waiting for this moment for months now!

The code hasn't been pushed to https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea yet since it's incredibly messy, but I'll clean it up tomorrow and also submit a draft pull request to upstream Gitea.

(Technical implementation information: https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/issues/7)

TIL about Mobilizon, a federated Meetup/Facebook event alternative: https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Will be handy since I'm moving to California soon.
