Rich Hickey's of #clojure #lisp fame "thank you" letter to sloperators.



Eli decided to gather some folks for a spring edition of #Decadv, I only just finished the proof-reading of No Bears None, I'm aching to do a bit of gamedev and I'm always willing to jump on an occasion that forces me to document things. So let's go!

I'm hoping to make a whole new implementation of Donsol with Rek's gorgeous new sprites. I'm tired of the NES look n' feel of our first implementation, I want something that has animations and effects and lives up to the capabilities of Varvara.

is the plan for this implementation to be playdate only or will it also be available on y'all's itch.io as a general uxn rom?
in reply to silktree

@silktree it'll work on everything, it's a uxn rom, I just design it with playdate's constraints, but I'll put it in upon itch so anyone can play it on the page 😀
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

Starting more seriously on the interface now, I think I got everything down where I want it. Through all my years of programming in #Uxn, I've managed somehow to never learn much about emulating larger numbers and just lived within the boundaries of 16-bits, but I do skirt pretty close to the boundary sometimes. For example, if I want a little progress bar 0x32 pixels wide, to display a value between 0 and 0x15, I have to do a little bit of finessing to have enough resolution in a short to emulate what in other languages you'd use decimal points for.

"You drank the white mage"

There has got to be a better way to phrase the flavor text for top tier healing cards.

Yeah I would do the “You drank the Potion of the White Mage 11” or something but it looks like you might not have room for that without text size changes 🤷
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

We're putting final touches to the assets and gameplay. The game finally has fail/success ending screens and animation handlers for nearly every object drawn on the screen, it's beginning to feel juicy. We've inspired ourselves from our favourite Playdate games and tried to add all the little details that make these games feel alive. I think we're getting there, there's still a few effects to put in, a camera shake here and a particle effect there.

Working at the intersection of fully event-driven and catlang programing makes writing animation code so much fun, I hadn't fully understood why it felt so nice until I realized that it's the concatenative nature of the language that makes it possible to pause out of an event, and jump anywhere in the code to resume evaluation.

Does this function like uxn on playdate in basically something like an emulator? And if so, does that mean there could is an Uxn emulator for playdate that runs as a romcart (or whatever they call it on playdate)? Would love to read more about your process here.

By the time Rek and I were completing Polycat for the Concatenative Language Jam, I was finally beginning to have good intuitions about how to organize the game's objects, but it was near too late for a complete rewrite with what I was learning. This time around, right from the start, I leaned heavily into encapsulating as much as I can and exposing clean APIs for everything, and with Drifblim's new private macros, I have something like zero-cost method calls.

I also realized something, instead of writing myself comments, I'll often turn to macros for making bits of code explicit, it works just as well..

So I gave my "Permacomputing: A Humane computing paradigm" :tealheart: talk yesterday at minidebconf, kanpur. We had to face lot of difficulties due to the local organizers :columbo:. But in the end my talk went fine 😁 , I at least made one person curious about permacomputing and had lots of fun, So I guess We can conclude "Nodus Tollens" was Introduced to the world successfully :moomin_butterfly:

@neauoire so basically, we were planning the conference for this 6 months, and the local organizers didn't have a good team, so everything was finalized and booked but at the day of the conference, our booked classroom was given to some other conference, and we were supposed to had accommodations inside the campus itself, but it was canceled and some hotels were booked, the hotels booked by the organizer was so bad, people booked hotels on their own :/

So yeah, these were the challengs.

Just rechecked the structure with the following result:

Update solved:
Just ran the command, as described in the 2026.01 release description:
bin/composer.phar run install:prod

Apparently that did the job:

Este es Friendica, version 2026.01 ejecutándose en ubicación respective.domain. Versión de la BD es 1576/1586, la versión después de actualización es 1550/1550.

@…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup Yes, you need to let composer reinstall vendor as new/updated packages might be used by newer code.

I put all required commands into a deploy.sh script to just only execute that script, then I won't miss any commands to run.

"issues" is too negative! You wouldn't want to paint your project in a negative light, would you?? You're harming your brand!!!

That was a very good article.

My best friend growing up had poor grades due to some very traumatic things that happened to her as a kid and teen.

When she applied to college, she was denied entry due to her GPA.

She did eventually go to a different school and get a degree as an adult, but I remember thinking how unfair it was not to take all of the non-academic stuff she was dealing with into account the first time she applied.

I’m so glad this is changing.

My wife is currently a Senior Principal Test Engineer at a startup semiconductor company. She's chaired conferences in her discipline. She's taken chips from a piece of paper to tens of millions of units shipped a year.

Today she wouldn't even get a single call for a job interview. She's terrified of getting a masters degree because her GPA was 2.7. GPAs dont mean shit.

"Um, no. I don't think it's inappropriate," Cavanaugh said, arguing that he did not need formal education or experience to make informed judgments. 🤔

not many people know the Federal government can and does flag people as "not eligible for rehire," and those kids better have that flag set on their SF-51, if they were ever actual federal employees, which I rather doubt.
