Things swirling around in my mind right now:

• the text editors written in BASIC I have unearthed

I am finally ready to take the plunge to get EDIT.BAS working, which is from 1977 for Altair BASIC.

• the lil ESP32 microcontroller board I wanna buy for the permacomputer project

The Tiny BASIC that I use supports graphics commands like PLOT for this board, I wanna get the pseudo-3D dungeon game working that I have.

• discrete transistor logic (I think I have a new approach)

I started my journey into computer programming from mainly knowing only about electronics in 2013.

I still want to make a discrete transistor logic computer. I think there is a way to do it that is intuitive and does not require too much laborious fiddling by hand.

• I wanna learn how to send plans to get PCBs fabbed

This would solve the main problem I have had making discrete transistor logic computers up until now. The problem has been physical construction. The perfboard I have been using easily lifts its tracks, and weeks worth of work can be wrecked with a single accidental scratch.

What is an MDem entry?

"MDem" is a work-in-progress book (very in-progress) about what nobody has understood about applying and communicating Marxism. Every time I think I've figured out a major error where various Marxisms have failed to analyze recent decades or each other I attempt to add it in some form to this book.
Some things get cut out and only remain as a single sentence. Some things get extensive chapters written about them. The book evolves as I get better understandings of individual things and how they go together.
As the underlying model evolves I sometimes separate out entries into different "versions" (similar to book editions, only none of them are published books). Relatively small changes separate entries into point versions. Big rewrites lead to new major versions.

"MDem" (when not in italics) also refers to a cluster of theoretical methods, including meta-Marxism (a framework for comparing multiple separate Marxisms despite them otherwise talking past each other every time they try to analyze each other), and hypothetically, future country-specific forms of Marxism which would start their models at small scales working up to large discrete objects and would be created using the meta-Marxist framework.

The "M" stands for "molecular", and in short refers to dialectical materialism. The title of the book is trying to say that "democracy" amounts to nonsense gobbledygook unless it includes an understanding of all cause and effect in the universe as coming from collisions of two separate things that change each other and produce a new big thing that exists at the same time as them. In version 4.3 I assumed it was perfectly intuitive to illustrate this with chemical reactions and polymers, though I now think I undershot on that and I'm working on a whole chapter about "relativistic determinism" (that's dialectical materialism for math professors) and what it actually is and the basic ways it changes nearly every physics equation.

seems like we crossed the year mark on the establishment of this fediverse instance a few days ago! (2 sept 2024)

huzzah!

Will very likely be writing my BASIC interpreter in Lisp.

I have had these two repositories in my back pocket for a while --

https://github.com/paoloboschini/basic-lisp

https://github.com/csebold/ebasic

The idea will be to put ulisp on a microcontroller, and then build the interpreter on top of that.

Normally I am one to choose knowledge over ignorance.

But I live in blissful ignorance of hackernews.

I know it got passed around a lot, but I do not think the Microsoft release of their 6502 BASIC from the 70s is anything other than hagiography for Bill Gates et. al
