Thanks to @sacha
my #emacsconf talk on #commonLisp #mcclim #slime in #emacs
themed around #Sandewall's 1978 The Lisp Demo Program is happening.
Live Q&A after pre-rec.
Stream:
I'll be in Paradise sushi in #lambdaMOO for questions, and answer them in the bigbluebutton room for the talk I am going to hopefully find a link for in a moment!
having thoughts
these systems on chips are sometimes very beefy
makes me think about using ulisp on them and doing the 'starting again from scratch' idea
the problem is social and institutional--lisp systems are inherently superior to C and UNIX, yet here we are
#WritersCoffeeClub Dec7. What do you think is the most critical element in storytelling?
Reader attention.
A reasonable bar for a habitual reader is 300 words per minute, or 180wpm for audiobooks. Normal human focussed attention span is <= 40 minutes. So your story needs beats/scene breaks/plot punctuation every 12,000 words at most (ideally 7,200 words) or you risk your readers losing track/getting bored.
(There's a lot more … but calibrate your chapter length to be no more than this!)
The long lost KIM-5 suddenly appeared!

insanely deep and scientifically rational explanation for the decline in flavour of exported Kenyan coffee beans.
i've never learned so much about coffee production in a single, well-written and researched article

@m455 i've never really used it, but when i find myself on there so many times i see people making so many mean-spirited comments to genuine questions...
should i have to scroll through pages of 'why are you even thinking this?' for a single helpful comment?
one more:
https://www.the-diy-life.com/making-an-ultra-low-power-arduino-pro/
This 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini uses over 600 times less power than a traditional Pro Mini, using a couple of simple, low power, changes that cost around $2 to make.
this is pretty incredible

Solar powered, battery free hardware to run an interpreter on the ATTiny85. Currently have a working game written in 127 byte program. Charge time in full sun: 3-6 minutes. Run Time: 30-45 minutes.

I got annoyed with my personal laptop always being out of battery when I wanted to work on my small programming projects, so I am building myself a laptop form factor device. It currently has an estimated battery life of up to 2 years depending on ambient light (with a 12000 mAh li-po battery), but I am hoping to eventually make it powered by ambient light alone.

this little number is quite fascinating, but i was thinking of something that draws even less power...

@vidak
I don't know what your project is, but maybe you can look to the sensor-watch for inspiration?
Runs on a coincell, battery life is very much a concern, the code is open on GitHub.

I totally forgot that I implemented base64 decode/encode in ed. And I certainly didn't expect that my RosettaCode entry on base64 encoding would use Yeghishe Charents' poem as a sample input!
i need to remind myself that every little bit of learning i do is never wasted.
"no mistakes, only happy accidents".
remember that, remember that.
don't forget, don't forget.
this feeling i am wasting my time on pointless nonsense belongs to someone else.
i want this learning. i want this for myself.
