2022-12-02 09:49:00 <olle        > Advent of code?
2022-12-02 09:49:18 <olle        > neuro_sys_: which accent is this?
2022-12-02 09:50:11 <neuro_sys_  > olle: Yes, Advent of Code. It's Joy programming language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_(programming_language)
2022-12-02 09:50:53 <neuro_sys_  > You can download it from here: https://www.kevinalbrecht.com/code/joy-mirror/joy.tar.gz But remember to edit globals.h to increase the heap memory if you run with AoC inputs.

2022-12-02 09:51:21 <olle        > Is anyone doing it in forth? maybe I can check online?
2022-12-02 09:52:17 <neuro_sys_  > I'm considering defining the words of Joy into Forth, so it should be basically the same.
2022-12-02 09:53:14 <neuro_sys_  > I had done some of the AoC 2021 with Forth.

2022-12-02 11:13:32 <veltas      > olle: I did part 1 of day 1 in ANS Forth yesterday
2022-12-02 11:13:41 <veltas      > But honestly I think it's better to work on Bot Forth
2022-12-02 11:25:43 <neuro_sys_  > veltas: What is Bot Forth?
2022-12-02 11:27:42 <Zarutian_iPad> used for bluebirding bots on the birdshite
2022-12-02 11:32:48 <neuro_sys_  > I like birds, but my bird brain still doesn't comprehend.
2022-12-02 11:54:51 <KipIngram   > Well, I'm marrying off a daughter tomorrow.  :-)
2022-12-02 11:55:02 <KipIngram   > Headed out in a little while to do the rehearsal tonight and all the festivities.
2022-12-02 11:55:08 <jackdaniel  > congrats!
2022-12-02 11:55:22 <KipIngram   > Thanks.  I like the kid - seems like a nice guy.
2022-12-02 11:55:53 <KipIngram   > I've got another daughter that recently was married for about a year, and while I didn't "dislike" her fellow, I never had a strong positive feeling about him.
2022-12-02 11:56:13 <KipIngram   > Mostly he was just still a boy.  I don't think he was really ready for a proper relationship yet.
2022-12-02 11:56:22 <KipIngram   > Neither was she, really, but you can't talk to kids in that mode.
2022-12-02 11:56:47 <thrig       > kids these days! they'll be the ruin of the Greek Empire
2022-12-02 11:56:53 <KipIngram   > Fortunately that all unwound smoothly, no kids involved, etc.
2022-12-02 11:57:36 <jackdaniel  > uh, sounds like problems that will emerge for me in more than a decade, so carrying on :)
2022-12-02 11:58:06 <KipIngram   > Well, maybe not - I think there's a random factor involved.  Maybe you'll have good times.
2022-12-02 11:58:38 <KipIngram   > I figure with five daughters I'll probably see a bit of everything along the way.
2022-12-02 11:58:38 <jackdaniel  > well, I'm sure that the little one will cause a few headaches, she is rebelious already,p
2022-12-02 11:58:56 <KipIngram   > Oh, my youngest is the most strong-willed thing I've ever seen.
2022-12-02 11:59:10 <KipIngram   > And she is fully in that "always absolutely right" period at the moment.
2022-12-02 11:59:45 <KipIngram   > I'm almost there though - the other four are done with college and "launched."  Youngest is a high school senior this year.
2022-12-02 12:26:24 <neuro_sys_  > KipIngram: No boys?
2022-12-02 12:26:38 <KipIngram   > Nope - only the girls.
2022-12-02 12:27:39 <neuro_sys_  > Wow, that's quite a family, full of women. I can't quite imagine.
2022-12-02 12:27:43 <eris[m]     > hope the marriage is fun!
2022-12-02 12:27:55 <neuro_sys_  > Although I grew up with 2 women only, my mother and sister. They didn't particularly get on well though.
2022-12-02 12:29:47 <thrig       > hell hath not the fury ...
2022-12-02 13:02:24 <KipIngram   > It is... "interesting" being the only guy around.  There are definitely things about women I'll never understand.
2022-12-02 13:31:20 <lispmacs[work]> KipIngram: a statement of profound enlightenment
2022-12-02 13:50:03 <KipIngram   > Actually it's a tautology - something obviously true.  :-)
2022-12-02 13:50:24 <KipIngram   > Of course I don't - I don't have the right genetic hardware.
2022-12-02 13:56:49 <KipIngram   > There's a nice spin on that in that urban fantasy series The Dresden Files.  Our protagonist "thinks at us," Magnum PI style - whole series is from that first person perspective.  In one of them he tells us how when a woman has a conversation, she's actually having about seven, at an assortment of different  "levels" of significance, indirection, etc.  Whereas we men... have a conversation.  One.
2022-12-02 13:57:03 <KipIngram   > So we're kind of doomed to fail before we even start.
2022-12-02 14:12:59 <KipIngram   > Actually though I feel pretty lucky - my wife seems "less" like that than a lot of women I knew in the past.  It's still there to some extent, but it's...  not beyond handling.
2022-12-02 14:13:35 <KipIngram   > Right from the start, when I first met her, I felt like she was particularly mature and sensible for her age.
2022-12-02 14:14:15 <KipIngram   > I semi-robbed the cradle; I was a day or two shy of 33 when we met; she was 22, in her last semester of college.
2022-12-02 14:16:06 <KipIngram   > A female colleague of mine was a mentor for the Society of Women Engineers, and knew my wife quite well.  She was *not* happy about me latching onto her.  I'd been single for a year or so at the time and had a bit of a reputation among folks that knew me.
2022-12-02 14:16:24 <KipIngram   > Ok; heading out for the wedding - you guys have a great afternoon.
