I am reminded of how many vegans don't -actually- care about the animals or the environment or the science. they ONLY really care about the smug sense of superiority and rubbing how much better they think they are morally in everyone else faces.
They undermine every actual good argument they have by being so insufferable about it, it makes me want to buy up hundreds of steaks just to grill up and throw at them purely OUT OF SPITE.
I know there are reasonable good vegans out there who are humble and actually care and I have to the utmost respect for them, which is the main reason I don't do that.
I guarantee you the 'I use arch btw' memes barely broke out of the linux community much less the snobbishness it was based on.
Linux reach is much much smaller than anyone inside the community seems to want to admit even with expansions in recent times.
Plus there are entire vegan brands who make money on selling the 'superior' lifestyle to people. 'Forks over Knives' being one of those organizations. Linux doesn't have anything like that.
Linux is punk, Veganism is trendy. There is a huge difference.
Animal eaters hate admitting that Plants are simply the better Total Package.

It's kind of hilarious to watch running influencers try to talk their way out of the "Norwegian Singles Method".
It turns out, a simple, sustainable, low-risk, low-fatigue, highly effective 5K to half marathon training framework doesn't need influencers or coaches trying to sell you their latest training plan or book.
And that's a problem.

Rethinking Climate and Extinction Crises
Capturing peopleโs attention about the #climate and #extinction crises is a challenge. Causes mostly move slowly, without the flashy drama that can focus our minds in the midst of 24-hour newโฆPalm Oil Detectives
At some point in my #running ๐ journey I realized there is something off with my 80/20 plan. I was 100% compliant ๐ฏ with Garmin's (and other most popular) HR zone calculations. But I was not progressing towards my goals and experiencing knee and shin injuries โค๏ธโ๐ฉน which I could not explain ๐ค
Then I switched to RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) for my easy runs and then BOOM! ๐ฅ Everything changed. No more injuries, and VO2Max started to increase!
Any similar experiences? How's your easy runs?
Congratulations! Being injured is bad and so is being worried about getting injured. Glad you found something, RPE, that works for you.
I have the same trouble with RPE that I have when a medical person asks me to put my pain on a ten-point scale. I really have no idea, no firm reference points.
I'd like to know whether you are using empirical things, e.g. can I talk, or going solely on feeling.
I do know that nearly whatever measure I use, my easy/recovery runs require walking!
@MarvinFreeman
Thanks mate!
Yes, it took me 2-3 months to figure out how exactly the 2-3 RPE feels. It's also indeed very personal. I don't use RPE for quality runs because as you go higher the scale it's harder to assess.
For me 2-3 RPE for easy runs means I genuinely feel relaxed, not breathing heavily at all and I can sing along to a song for example without too much effort. Interestingly that puts me on avg at 6:10 /km pace and avg 130-135 BPM HR. That means there are days that 6:45-7:00 /km feels easy and some days this might be 5:45 /km I really don't care.
I also changed my easy runs watch screen to show only distance or time (depending on the training) and I don't look at pace or HR until I finish the run.
This makes a great deal of sense. It really is the harder runs where RPE is just impossible for me.
Looking forward to your successes!

Forth is certainly more efficient in memory use. On the other hand, I get the sense you already like Lisp? He's already gotten this Lisp working on a pocket computer. That's some indication of fit for your purpose.
> BASIC is good for certain applications with software preservation
Only if the software you're preserving is BASIC programs? ๐

in reply to Kartik Agaram • • •Lisp is good, but I also have requirement of extreme memory limitations, in addition to type-in programs, right now.
Lisp will come in time, but I think FORTH might be the best avenue to explore.
Kartik Agaram
in reply to vidak • • •How little memory do you have? Notice that he did get it running on that pocket computer. The extras version has a 32KB heap by default.
I just spent a couple of days debugging a GC, and I appreciate even more now how rock solid tinylisp is in that respect. Trying to reproduce that is hard regardless of language, which is why I suggest using something good that already exists. Spend more time in the HLL, life is better there.

in reply to Kartik Agaram • • •the author's pocket computer cannot run a recursive fizzbuzz higher than (fizzbuzz 22) because the boxing clips the maximum number of cells in the (env), even with tail recursion.
I've explored Tiny-lisp for the past couple of weeks and it is quite memory hungry, it's not a good fit for 16-bit systems, and even in 32-bit systems without doubles, it's a bit tight.
Kartik Agaram
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •@neauoire Interesting!
Now this is an expert, @vidak. If you're already considering Forth then use Uxn as a well debugged thing that is proven in low mem conditions.
vidak
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •@neauoire @akkartik 4 kilobytes, or 8 kilobytes system memory is about what i am looking at now.
in addition, pretty much all programs, utilities, etc will all come supplied on printed paper. i think lisp would be difficult to type in at 100+ lines.
unstructured basic is powerful in its own way, my main motivation is to try and get a text editor working with less effort--i seem to think that there may be powerful text editors written in FORTH that may be ported directly--on and distributed printed--to a potential system.
my main reasons for meandering so much through hardware is that i am trying to find the "easiest route to type-in programs". completely agree with you about living in the high level language land.
Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to vidak • • •wow, that IS limited.
Considering this, even the limited forth editors had block editors, which might be a super fun rabbit hole to dive into, both you I think would appreciate this.
But 4kb, even for me is uncharted territory ๐
