There is something fishy happening in Norway. Some Lapps suggested not to eat fish south of Nordkapp-island. Because of fish farms. Insane, because this strait has always heavy current and nasty mælstrøms as half of Atlantic goes that way t

Everything else is doable, expect maybe "lossless". But then, alas, WAV is as lossless as can be and memory is cheap.

MP3-module from Aliexpress and some ESP-board with tiny display and micropython. Ten Euro. You can make random search N in the MP3-module, because OFF/ON restarts and then you short NEXT-button wires N times.

Prolog was weirdly simple to make, once you managed to grasp the concept in its wholeness. Yes I made one in 1982 in Osborne-1. I even managed to include all numbers in the machine into search space, meaning 0 to 0xFFFF -- which real Prolog

And yes. There was 8080-assembler in PDP-11, but it was just regular PDP assembler with extra macroes. It did not know those forbidden commands and thus produced undefined opcodes with random and entertaining results.

by timonoko 3mo ago
Annoying part of 8080 was that the command set had holes in it and mystery restrictions. Which were hard to remember. And 12 undefined opcodes. Z80 solved all that. However, you had to be a programmer Anno Dominii 1975 to fully understand w

Adding and substracting 3D-objects was the same as in OpensCAD. Strange they did not make OpenSCAD in AutoLISP-style. I have to read the manual all the time, because I never learn the weird syntax of OpenSCAD for-statement.

Gemini knows exactly what this is about and volunteered to re-edit my texts to veer the mute downvoting team and [fagging].

You see from 3D-scan how tippy it is. Add guns on upper deck and it is dead https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vasa-ship-137c0e1436e947e088...

I blame micropython. Because it is reprogrammed by me myself. Original was much worse, because it always asked from China if it can open the door.

Only allowed color: vomit-green. Strangely repulsive. I do not think this is experience induced, because I loved my green XB3-bicycle from Kharkov Bicycle Factory.

I want this. I have Wifi door lock too far away from base station. It was often stuck in a loop trying to connect to neighbours' Wifis. By try and error I managed to block those using metal foil, but it was hard work.

I really do not understand this whining and downvoting. In so-called real life somebody has to live with the malformed macro, whose only purpose is to beautify the code. I even made un-macrofier, which deleted all macros and replaced instan

Know 6 languages and you will never get anything right. Search space too large.

TLDR, but you are (probably) describing somekind of builtin property. I am just saying that the end-user do not need macros for much anything, unless she has some specific optimization in mind. Bloody annoying when they start making cryptic

by timonoko 3mo ago
You do not need macros for anything. They are not the tool to "extend the language", but instructions for the compiler. And if the system does not even have a compiler, macros are useless, often incredibly stupid.

How do you resist the temptation to raise somekind of rag on strong tailwind? No witnesses. -- I was just drying laundry.

My Lisp from 1975 was actually used in real world and highly lucrative. Gemini could read the source code, but it told that my code was piece of shit and cannot be implemented in 64-bit world without drastic changes, so it made an example.

I actually perfected the Norvig Lisp at one time. It has compiler to python and just everything. Those very few here that can actually read code, understand why this project soon exploded into biggest piece of odorous excrement. https:&#

The report is deliberately misleading by the red-green government. If you read between the lines it is a poll among the library visitors .

There are not many watch-enthusiasts on boomer generation methinks. The misery of unreliable super-expensive timekeeping raises no fond memories. I can literally taste bile, when somebody is boasting about their ugly watch, whose only value
