2023-12-22 09:12:49 <zelgomer    > wait a minute. what do you guys call the variable that points to the most recently defined word?
2023-12-22 09:13:09 <zelgomer    > i'm having a mandella effect moment
2023-12-22 09:13:25 <user51      > latestxt or latest
2023-12-22 09:13:38 <zelgomer    > wtf
2023-12-22 09:13:46 <zelgomer    > when did i start calling it last??
2023-12-22 09:14:15 <user51      > Should be head, since it's the first item in the list :P
2023-12-22 09:16:17 <user51      > gforth has last and lastxt, that does seem confusing.
2023-12-22 09:16:42 <zelgomer    > oh maybe that's where i got it from. but i don't remember ever using gforth for long, maybe once just to check it out
2023-12-22 09:25:36 <unjust      > if it's the *last* defined word, then it's a fitting name
2023-12-22 09:26:40 <zelgomer    > well when it's called, it is
2023-12-22 09:35:00 <GeDaMo      > zelgomer: I also tend to think of it as last :P
2023-12-22 09:48:35 <user51      > : last latest ; :P
2023-12-22 09:51:50 <GeDaMo      > in gforth, last appears to be a variable
2023-12-22 09:52:43 <user51      > 'see last' gives me: User Last
2023-12-22 09:54:22 <GeDaMo      > user defines a task specific variable i.e. for multitasking

2023-12-22 11:10:27 <KipIngram   > mappedometer.com is pretty neat.  Has a really nice interface for getting the length of walking / jogging routes.
2023-12-22 11:10:42 <KipIngram   > Gives elevation data as well.
2023-12-22 11:10:56 <KipIngram   > My little jogging route I've settled in on is 3.13 miles.
2023-12-22 11:11:44 <KipIngram   > It's a big loop, and the place I start/finish at takes me about seven minutes to walk to or from.
2023-12-22 11:12:17 <KipIngram   > So I feel like I'm paying proper homage to the whole "warm up, cool down" thing.
2023-12-22 11:15:27 <KipIngram   > I really felt the benefits of the exercise I've been doing since early summer when I put up our Christmas tree a week or two ago.  It's a 12' affair, and one of the pieces is fairly large and heavy and has to go onto a stack that's already five feet tall or so.  I've struggled with it in past years, but this year I just threw it over one shoulder, carried it up the ladder, and just kind of "leaned it into
2023-12-22 11:15:29 <KipIngram   > place."  Felt tons easier than last year.
2023-12-22 11:15:49 <thrig       > use it or lose it
2023-12-22 11:16:12 <KipIngram   > Yeah, for sure.  I guess there really is something to be said for being consistent about it, which has historically always been my big problem.
2023-12-22 11:16:21 <KipIngram   > But I've done well these past eight months or so.
2023-12-22 11:16:32 <KipIngram   > On weights and cardio.
2023-12-22 11:17:27 <KipIngram   > Dropped in to see my doctor a couple of days ago for a checkup - I used to take a mild blood pressure med, but haven't taken it for a long time since I lost weight, and they measured me at 126/70, which I was thoroughly pleased with.
2023-12-22 11:18:10 <KipIngram   > I mostly went because I wanted to refill a prescription, and they refused to do it without seeing me.  :-|
2023-12-22 11:56:36 <kws         > is there a standard or de-facto standard for multitasking ?
2023-12-22 11:57:07 <kws         > i see in the gforth manual there is cilk and pthreads, pthreads is experimental but it's not clear which i should use, even after reading the interfaces
2023-12-22 12:00:57 <crc         > kws: https://theforth.net/package/multi-tasking and https://theforth.net/package/multi-tasking/current-view/tests.fs might be of help
2023-12-22 12:06:45 <kws         > crc: ah after reading that plus the multi-tasking proposal and then the pthreads interface again
2023-12-22 12:06:53 <kws         > it looks like pthreads is just that but with different names
2023-12-22 12:07:02 <kws         > so i'll use the pthreads one since it's already pre-installed. thank you !
