Hey @sacha, would you be able to record (or if you like, speak live via jitsi) an announcement for to share on the lispy gopher climate on Wednesday?

@vidak @permacomputer

Etch A Sketch?

Creating images with two motors and a classic drawing board

been working on the @permacomputer these last few days

i have a lot to report--i think i have stumbled upon a good video output solution for the first actual permacomputer prototype

I'm looking for a job. I can start January 1. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.

This year I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.

Last year I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.

Before that I helped developed a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 30,000 Covid-19 tests per day.

Please check out my CV.

went to the doctor cause i couldn't close the linux command prompt

he told me it's terminal

I wonder... Could we call 2005 the year computing power reached sufficiency?

Is the only reason *basically* any of us need more computing power down to inefficient software?

I'm sure some of you will want to draw the line earlier, but I made sure to include fully-programmable GPUs (like the XBox 360's) in my cut-off!

This is before smartphones, but only just!

Tiny ask. If you make things and sell them, or just sell things, can you pin a toot with a link to what you sell and a bit about you/what you sell etc? Thank you lovelies. It's nearly Christmas and I like boosting fedi gift ideas.

Edit. And we need more tags!

What if NixOS but with Prolog as the config language?

it just occurred to me what a nice and fun experience it is browsing text-heavy articles on the web using only a TUI browser, all pages look beautiful in the same way, and are either fully readable or completely messed up... then I remembered why exists

I expect most of you know, but for those that missed it, there's a sale over at https://z80kits.com with **15% discount** on all base kits, core modules, expansion modules and backplanes/enclosures. You just need the discount code **BFCM2024** at checkout. (Valid until Monday night)

What does Australia’s social media ban for under 16s mean for smaller platforms, especially small to medium sized instances on the Fedi? I would like to hear opinions from as many people as possible and from not just Australians so please boost.

eeh, I added persisting changes. The way I did it was to use Waters' and
(iterate ((s (scan-symbols pkg))
(with-open-file (out path/to/git/pkgname.limo :direction :output :if-exists :append)
(format out "{ @create ~s :named ~s } x~%" (first (get s :parents)) s)))

I guess I'm not meant to use format like this; I'm meant to customize pretty printing using format and then just use print, I guess, but w/e.

it seems video displays are very very curly when limiting yourself to microcomputer era hardware.

Fediverse culture is complaining about one of your instances being down from another instance

ELI5: Let's say that I want to learn how programming GUIs on Amigas was like (boopsi, MUI). What would I need to do that, with no attempts at being truly period-correct?

Talking about OS versions, emulator/actual hardware, editors, compilers and of course official and inofficial documentation?

(For comparison's sake, f I were to do the same for Windows win32, it would be any PC, Windows 7, Visual Studio 6, the Petzold book, win32.hlp and probably vodka)
