56 years ago! It all started here: It's December 9, 1968, and Douglas Engelbart is about to showcase the world’s first personal, networked, computer — as a live demo. It’s the computing equivalent of a high-wire trapeze act with no net. https://cybercultural.com/p/1968-the-mother-of-all-demos/ #ComputerHistory
Being unemployed has really shown me how much having a job has been holding me back from my true calling: posting
Unreal and Unity are machines for taking simple, 2D, tile-based games and turning them into 1.5 GB+ games that require a 3D accelerated GPU to run

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

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
