have i really made 2 thousand posts on here or is it counting likes / boosts as posts too? that seems like a lot but maybe i really am going that hard
i just want to keep 32bit compatibility to run old bell labs stuff and thecatamites games
a sufficiently old osx install just becomes twisted gentoo as homebrew makes me compile everything and manage dependencies
(to be clear this isn't a value judgement, the space pen and the pencil both work, i just find different approaches to the same thing fascinating)
at my job we end up looking at a lot of extremely niche programming languages that we aren't familiar with and don't have much of an ecosystem around them
my coworker tends to write plugins for syntax highlighting for the new languages - having highlighting and then suddenly not having it is definitely jarring
i use acme with no syntax highlighting so i never have it anyway so i don't miss it when using something new
feels very "nasa engineered a space pen, soviets used a pencil"
we should feel welcome to have fun with computers, they are silly
i like this documentation style https://github.com/0intro/vx32/blob/master/ADVENTURE

i finally broke my iphone se in a way where im not super enthused about fixing it for the 5th time
is there a particular android phone that is nice to buy used and is on the cheaper side
@xj9 finite state machine verification in awk http://spinroot.com/gerard/micro.html
using the getac b300 is convincing me that more laptops need to cool themselves by just having enormous copper tubes throughout the body. its quiet and works shockingly well
anyone have any advice for trying to put a large (300gb) file in backup somewhere?
trying to use rsync or scp to rsync.net, my upstream invariably drops down to 500kbps, i thought it might be because of some compression algorithm but i think i've disabled it

“This is a “plein air” painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was “Do you hate these banks?” I can honestly say yes.” - Alex Schaefer
i also really like the programming language he made for earlier versions of the movable feast machine: SPLAT, for spatial programming language ascii text

thinking this morning about truly weird computing architectures and i am not sure if i have talked much about the movable feast machine which is endlessly fascinating to me
