I mean, unless you're working in the leaning tower of Pisa, I can't imagine any change of tilt would be in any way useful.

Yeah when somebody says something like 'deeply embedded' the platform that comes to my mind is the Dreamcast VMU, which has a cpu that doesn't (AFAICT) yet even have a C compiler. ("C compiler....the idea was abandoned.&

There's a project called woob ( https://woob.tech/ ) that implements python scripts that are a little bit like scrapers but only 'scrape' on demand from requests from console & desktop programs. How much of

Author could just write a script that takes slope input from a Wiimote attached to the back of the monitor & sets xrandr accordingly. 3DOF?

I legitimately laughed out loud at this.

yes, but using fewer horizontal pixels.

This. I know the DEC VT340 was capable of 132 columns, as was an Apple II with a Videx Ultraterm card and a suitable (hi-res) monitor. There are probably even more examples, but those two are what came to mind first.

Have an air gap between development machines and anything attached to the internet. Or just put your machine in a bank vault.

My favorite is probably this 8 bit card made to attach a vga monitor to the S-100 bus: http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/VGA%20Board... There is also a 16 bit version: http://www.s100computers

The Chicago sculpture The Bean (despite its appearance) is not a giant blob of solder.

I mean, this would be doable if one happened to own a daisy wheel printer or IBM 2741 terminal (which is basically a Selectric typewriter plus the circuitry to turn it into a terminal), that would actually be pretty easy to set up.

I suppose an epub would be pretty easy to convert (on a modern machine) into something like ZIL for ZILF. Good thinking.

Would be great if there were files available for the Z-machine that played out the original Edward Packard CYOA series, like Through The Black Hole, e.g.

I had not heard of the FastChip before today, so thanks for letting me know it exists. :-D for other interested parties: http://www.a2heaven.com/webshop/index.php?rt=product/product...

Would be interesting to have some -small- (not necessarily small, but portable) C program such as info-zip compiled to bf via ELVM [1] and do a speed comparison. https://github.com/shinh/elvm

I never said I had a problem donating money to help; what I have a problem with is lack of access to, and lack of share-ability (not sure if that's a word, but I'm going with it anyway) of the source code.

do what?

I wish PICO-8 was free (libre) software.

I mean OLED is basically shining a LED flashlight at your eyeballs, so, yeah. Of course, pretty much every other form of backlit display has the same problem. The only thing I can think of that might be better would be possibly a laptop LCD

The LGPL was never meant for all libraries, only certain specific ones (which the FSF thought were better to more permissively license because of practical reasons.) That's one reason they renamed it from "Library GPL" to
