With all the anti-BASIC rhetoric I've seen tonight, for some bizarre reason, I'm kind of motivated to say fuck you all and write a BASIC compiler for VM/OS, and use it going forward to write most, if not all, of my apps for it.
PRINT MID$(FINGERS$,2,1)
@jaredj @nytpu @vidak Although it didn't have the instruction, you could get the same effect with the RDY line. This trick was used in the Atari 2600, to synchronize against the horizontal sync pulse. You'd load from a special memory-mapped register, which would cause RDY to drop, this halting the processor, until HSYNC happened. (Don't use stores, because the NMOS 6502 doesn't respect RDY during stores!)
The WAI instruction in the 65C02 does the same thing: it just pulls RDY low until IRQ or NMI are asserted. 😏
Keep it up, people, lest my BASIC dialect include line numbers and two character name limits. 😏
Remember that #Acorn #Archimedes games I was trying to hunt down a while back?
https://mastodon.social/@ghalfacree/113533616652282871
I (and others) searched *everywhere* - the Archimedes Archive, fan pages, every issue of Acorn User and similar that the Internet Archive has available, even PD library listings. Came up blank.
Well, my father-in-law has come up trumps... not only finding the name of the game *but the game itself*. Including documentation and the shipping packaging.
plans are coming together for the next #fennelconf on the 28th: https://conf.fennel-lang.org/2024
but there's still room on the schedule! if you've got a fun or interesting project written in #fennel, you can take a 10-15 minute slot to demo it to the community, or a 30 minute slot if you have more to say
it's always very chill; you don't need a lot of preparation, and we specifically recommend against making slides

been thinking about fantasy computers and virtual machines
the chip-8 is inspiring to me
been thinking about fantasy computers and virtual machines
i am not as proficient in C as i am in lisp, so i find the quick uxn emulator code on the wiki difficult to understand
if i was gonna write a lil virtual machine, i would adapt this:
https://github.com/kingcons/cl-6502
this would give me all the tools i needed to do it in common lisp
but i wonder--why would i do this? what kind of virtual machine would i write? i am not sure.
Leyendo "A People's History of Computing in the United States" de Joy Lisi Rankin (2018). Gracias a la cita de @teclista en "Las Redes son nuestras".
La intro me deslumbró. Luego sigue bien, aunque con menos intensidad. Una historia alternativa a la de los "hackers californianos, héroes de la revolución digital" del canónico libro de Steven Levy.
Se me ocurre que estaría bien una expo / investigación sobre esta otra historia popular de la computación incluyendo hackers sociales y artistas, hacklabs, linuxeres y software libre varios, wikipedistas, torrents, usuaries insumises, redes libres, otras redes sociales... Sin limitarse a los 60 y 70 en EEUU.

@ana_valdi
the project is largely now waiting for parts.
the different categories of components yet to arrive are:
- EEPROM programming parts (https://github.com/adumont/hb6502/blob/main/programmer/README.md)
- the composite video out microcontroller parts (https://web.archive.org/web/20190907195213/http://searle.hostei.com/grant/MonitorKeyboard/index.html)
19th december is when they should all have arrived, and the first prototype of the permacomputer can be constructed.
Probably one of the biggest lies people believe is that competition is good.
It's bad, actually. Cooperation is a lot better.
syria
my heart is with the SDF and the revolution. this is an amazing experiment in socialism. the PKK were right to embrace democratic confederalism.
öcalan is also one of biggest political prisoners ever. i am worried he will die in prison.
SDF: In Syria, we are living through historic moments as we witness the fall of the authoritarian regime in Damascus. This change presents an opportunity to build a new Syria based on democracy and justice that guarantees the rights of all Syrians.
@jackdaniel
https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/mcclim/ sans the live Q&A yet.
Though, there is a good opportunity to amend the accepting-values the way I was using it, since (as was widely requested) I still need to actually implement the mcclim interface to Sandewall's The Lisp Demo Program (interactively developed scheduling app).
god i love linux so much
there's so cool shit it can do i will never get over it
you're telling me i can have packet radio devices handled by the kernel? and they just show up as normal network devices? THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME?!?!?
i think my favorite thing about spotify wrapped is that it is not particularly different from sorting my recent plays by count. we dried lakes for this? madness
Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:
You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.
