2023-03-06 04:47:13 https://textile-lang.com/ is ASCII Art! 2023-03-06 05:14:57 I love your nick CHINA-NUMBER-ONE 2023-03-06 05:15:02 What's the story behind that 2023-03-06 05:15:16 You must work for CIA lol 2023-03-06 10:01:19 lol... 2023-03-06 13:14:24 I wonder if this guy realizes how funny this is: 2023-03-06 13:14:26 https://imgur.com/a/YxJXyWj 2023-03-06 13:29:45 "the HOA has had it too good for too long." 2023-03-06 13:31:19 I just thought it was particularly ironic that the guy's name was "Osama." 2023-03-06 13:31:48 it's more than likely intentional. :P 2023-03-06 13:32:15 Probably. 2023-03-06 13:32:40 Also teh choice of words "thermonuclear device" rather than "fusion." 2023-03-06 13:32:57 Really underscores the violent application in a way. 2023-03-06 13:33:25 I mean, it wouldn't HAVE TO, but I think in normal usage "thermonuclear device" kind of says "bomb." 2023-03-06 13:34:00 My judgement of the liklihood of us ever actually getting controlled fusion to work has dropped here recently. 2023-03-06 13:34:16 I won't say "we'll never do it," because you're almost always wrong when you say something like that. 2023-03-06 13:34:39 But I learned some new tidbits recently that really make me feel its even more of an uphill climb than I'd previously thought. 2023-03-06 14:42:09 We have a perfectly servicable fusion reactor that we orbit around. Long reliable operation, safe distance, etc. Make sure you wear your fusion protection cream when you go outside. 2023-03-06 14:42:18 Okay maybe not that safe 2023-03-06 14:43:30 I think a lot of the problem is that we want to concentrate a lot of energy into a small space without making weapons 2023-03-06 14:43:46 "what is wrong with his skin?" -- some bronzed Brahman wondering why I was red 2023-03-06 14:44:20 radiation poisoning 2023-03-06 14:44:31 UV radiation if you want to get real specific 2023-03-06 14:48:51 i played with forth (gforth) for the first time today. i haven't felt that inexperienced with any programming language in the past 25 years. amazing experience (to feel like a total beginner again). 2023-03-06 15:06:02 I highly recommend reading an old book on it :) There's a whole culture. 2023-03-06 15:06:35 specifically there's ways to structure things so that reads like plain text 2023-03-06 15:06:55 i learned most programming languages by just using them. not sure if that even works for forth... :)) .. 2023-03-06 15:07:33 You can do that, sure 2023-03-06 15:19:44 Hello! 2023-03-06 15:20:23 I am back, made some decent progress on my little vm project 2023-03-06 15:20:34 https://ttm.sh/Sf0.png 2023-03-06 15:20:55 How (un)readable does this piece of code look like to you? 2023-03-06 15:50:26 is this colorForth? it's half-readable except I can't figure out the order of evaluation 2023-03-06 15:53:08 It's my own language, it's inspired by colorforth tho 2023-03-06 15:53:48 it's compiled, this is some sort of "assembly" for the vm I am making 2023-03-06 15:54:18 so the order of evaluation starts with the word after the yellow init 2023-03-06 15:55:11 the order of definition doesn't matter 2023-03-06 21:47:47 https://imgur.com/a/SvwKfzG with one small optimization sector lisp is faster than emacs lisp so this is good news for sector langs like sector forth
