thanks to @civodul for hinting that I should take a closer look at the new Shepherd website to find that the example carousel is a Hoot program!

Thinking about an optimizing FALSE→QBE compiler again. My original idea of writing it in FALSE itself is dead because while it's theoretically possible, I literally cannot conceive of how to do it (and people more familiar with stack languages can't help either because they don't have the limitations FALSE has). But writing the compiler in Lisp should be trivial

Great way of sharing the conference talk videos <3
this was actually my return to tech, i had left it behind for humanities in 2009.

looking over it all, i left good enough notes for me to pick this up again...
deep in thought these last few days
i saw someone on another platform completing a breadboard discrete transistor project
for some reason i could never make DTL edge-triggered D flip flops properly, and i really wanted to have them for the instruction decoder ring counter
quite a bit of projects for me stall for years because i hit a snag and i have no idea how to get help
fascinating write-up of fixing an exotic model of commodore vic-20

Elite education looks the same as housing in 2007 — a market propped up by cheap debt, artificial scarcity, and mass delusion about underlying value. But we’re not looking at one bubble — it’s a triple threat. A wealth bubble, a debt bubble, and a cultural bubble all reinforcing each other.

thinking about common lisp this morning
apart from the tamagotchi rewrite, one of my other main projects was to write a virtual reality environment for gopher
other people have done it, but not in common lisp

I was reading a rather disappointing blog about how TFW8b is going to be closing down EU and USA shipments because of regulatory requirements, when I found another article of interest:
https://www.tfw8b.com/the-end-of-the-sd-card-line/
Read it. It is a nice explanation of why not all SD cards are the same, and why some cards have compatibility issues.
Some people might have wondered why I made the decision to avoid using raw SD card access in my Kestrel-3 project; this is exactly why. These days, it is better to make intelligent storage devices (like how Commodore and Atari used to) than to assume the benevolence of a storage protocol will remain forever.
In fact, assume it won't. Modern SD protocols are horribly mired in all manner of hardware and encryption related bullshido that I will go out of my way to build battery-backed RAM Disks before I ever consider willfully using the SD protocols ever again.
As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.
Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).
Fixed non-appearing buttons

Often when I’m feeling kind of low, I (try to) fix a C64. Bringing one of these lovely machines back to life still makes me smile every single time and never fails to cheer me up. Another success today! #InTheLabDoingStuff #C64 #Commodore64 #Repair #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #BlueScreenOfLife
The tiniest unexpected kindness or even just meeting of expectations can make such a huge difference.
Seeking opportunities to provide these are so very worthwhile.
