JWST NIRCam and MIRI image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and UGC 5130, or the Penguin and the Egg.
The Penguin is a spiral galaxy whose shape has been distorted by the gravity of the elliptical Egg galaxy. The two are about 100,000 light-years apart and completed a close pass between 25 and 75 million years ago.

during my travels it appears I stumbled into the zilog webring.
Very relatedly (and perhaps interesting for Moving Forth readers), CamelForth is still A Thing in the modern day and has been GPL'd. https://www.camelforth.com

here i am transcribing a word processor (nb--not text editor) written in BASIC

come join the project for another live coding session!
we are working on transcribing a very long and complex word processor written in BASIC called SCRIPTOR.BAS
people like me that use a code forge "pages" service [to host their website] or otherwise can't execute custom webserver code
i wonder how quick i can get to the point where i might be able to offer mufos a small share of my vps's unused capacity to host faer own mostly-static websites. in faer own os container?
not charging anything (not charging very much? asking only for donations if they're able?) means i can freely tell any chuds whose words are shit to fuck off entirely, i think?
I was looking for old documents regarding sharp apl, but while I was doing that I stumbled on a product from 1993 called Sharp PT-9000.
It's a really obscure tablet running Geos that came out 4 years before the Palm Pilot. It doesn't even seem to have a Wikipedia page.
For some reason I really want one of these. But there is nothing on ebay.
Seeing their Oregon Trail box, I went looking for the version I played. It's on this giant stack of stuff:

I got there with no real trouble!

Iām thinking I should finally finish my Commodore 1581 Gotek floppy drive build soon.

> As a result the #Web interface was never integrated into the #desktop environment.
But nowadays, nowadays, everything is a webapp! So itās not that Web should assimilate into the desktopāitās that desktop had to assimilate into the Web! Which is sad, because both old experimental ādesktopā #GUI had good ideas, and the earlier hypertext systems were well-designed. Imagine web apps, but with a headstart of integrated use provenance (global undo?) and extensive document format support, for example. Like Chromebooks locked to Google ecosystem, but without the need for the ecosystem.
Iām no longer sure if Iām making any sense.
going live for a bit right now

don't forget we are running a campaign to raise a money for prototypes:

currently, we are 30% funded.
@hkz I think it's something to do with that LDX before the whole codeblock.
Put the LDX before the commented , working code?
See if same error now?
@hkz is it the right syntax for absolute addressing?
Sorry for questioning you, I used a fucked up 32 bit binary off the Atariage forums when I coded 6502... š
I may be tired, I may be a 6502 noob... But I'm also VERY perplexed now.
The two snippets of code you see in the picture work differently.
The top one, currently commented, always consistently produce the correct result.
The one below, consistently produces garbage on the VDP, setting the wrong color or nothing at all.
@hkz I'm not quite sure either. Could be something to do with macro expansion?
Could be the order in which the symbols are being interned by the macro processor?
What assembler are you using?
