@neauoire @ploum @cblgh ah! There's a lot of good resources on the website: https://scuttlebutt.nz

If there's something you're interested in that isn't covered there, maybe name it & I might know where you can learn more.

@neauoire @ploum @cblgh I'm not sure I understand the request (like, how to parse it).

I'm pretty pleased with the result though -- this feels pretty elegant. ^_^

@neauoire Though I think a stack machine with this instruction set would still be challenging to write programs with and run by hand.

@neauoire uxn spoiled me! Stack-style is much easier to work with imo.

Yesterday I wrote the modulus operator for the WDR Paper Computer[1].

It's a tiny computer with only 5 instructions: add1, sub1, jump to line#, end program, and is-zero?.

My conclusions so far about paper computing:
- It's really fun to figure out clever ways to write programs using a limited instruction set!
- Running programs by hand is pretty tedious and gets old fast. ^__^

@rozina I can't speak for these kinds of orgs you've listed here, but if I were a generic org, and liked someone's work, I wouldn't care too much what tools they used. (So long as they e.g. produced outputs compatible with my systems.)

@sunflower_avenue This feels like a really significant realization, to me.

It's kind of like how a capitalist can look at, say, https://www.google.com/maps/@-2.0121673,-77.2195776,1098m/data=!3m1!1e3 and be like, "oh sweet, it's *just* trees! free commodity!" The outside view hides the details.

Anyone else have Sega Channel as a kid? This was just the coolest.

It was a device you put into the cartridge slot that used your existing cable connection to download interactive menus and full Genesis games from Sega servers. All without the internet!

Today was mostly an Adult Stuff day. Boring things. >___<

Going to do some maintenance things, and then make time for some fun stuff.

@sunflower_avenue That's so cool! The result is really pretty.

@sunflower_avenue Wow!!! Good job Sun!

@sunflower_avenue Is each + an independent stitch, or are they all attached somehow underneath?

@rek oh! Is it electric or operate on a treadle? :D

@rek That makes sense. I've only ever done hand sewing, but then again, I'm mending clothes, not huge things like sails. ;)

@fetchrobin I've wondered about root causes also!

A hypothesis I had was that some families have a take-the-mic-if-you-want-it policy. I've been at family tables like that, where there's no "here's the mic", but rather a free-for-all where you are seemingly expected to take the mic if you want to have a turn to speak.

@rek ah I bet that's going to be a lot of fun!

@FredBednarski I love the art! I really hope you decide to make it :D
