Finally had a small win with my learning of #uxn programming and got a basic version of Bresenham's line algorithm working! I'm sure there are better ways to do it but I'm just happy it's working right now.
This is my first proper go at learning a stack language so around 80% of my time was just figuring out and debugging little idioms and macros to do basic arithmetic.
I vaguely remember teaching this algorithm as a tutor for a computer graphics course in 1998 so it's been fun to revisit it.
There are just so many pictures of Mojo displaying his belly, because this is a kitty with absolute trust that tummies are for petting.
The sun has finally shifted enough for somebody to enjoy his favourite morning spot for the first time this year.

Talking to Claude: Why Anthropic treats its chatbot like a person—and not a tool
Claude works like a person because it was trained on what people have done. Its greatest source of danger is that it could amplify the most dangerous parts of us.Nathan Schneider (America Magazine)

If you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).
One week in, and the little furballs are settling in very happily. I think this morning's sun might be the first time their silver linings have been so nicely highlighted!

Wildfires are polluting the air far more than thought
Scientists have discovered that wildfires release far more air-polluting gases than previously estimated. Many of these hidden emissions can transform into fine particles that are dangerous to breathe.ScienceDaily
If you need to seek refuge from smoke, then your municipal water supply is PROBABLY cancerous.
Because physics. Your city water supply has been contaminated, and systemic cleaning is necessary.

got nanotalk to use the network device!!
source: codeberg.org/notchoc/nanotalk/…
uxn2 fork: codeberg.org/notchoc/uxn2/src/…
run it like uxn2 -N nanotalk.rom example.com:43210
next step will be to write a nanochat server, but text parsing seems kinda hard…
maybe I'll start with something simpler like a game server 😁

perl has a reputation for needing complex sigils and degrading into line noise, but i don't think we give bash enough flak for the same thing.
why on earth do you iterate over associative array keys (and yes, bash has associative arrays) by writing dollar sign open curly bracket exclamation point array name open square bracket at sign close square bracket close curly bracket?
![stackoverflow screenshot. it reads:
The keys are accessed using an exclamation point: ${!array[@]}, the values are accessed using ${array[@]}.](https://keybored.me/photo/preview/640/1406922 "stackoverflow screenshot. it reads:

93% of Paint Splatters are Valid Perl Programs | Colin McMillen
TLDR: read the paper and view the gallery of pretty Perl programs. In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?www.mcmillen.dev
This is an example of why I can end up writing a line of python instead. I can never remember this sort of weird shit.
Mind you, I'm not a programmer, whose very livelihoods depend on remembering weird shit.

Currently looking for a new employment (remote and EU only), thought to try to get #fedihired as well.
Most of my ~20 year experience I dealt with either very low-level kernel/user-level (often embedded) C+asm or distributed backend (Go, Erlang, Java).
I would love to prioritize the former and not opposed to learning something new at this point.

Steam Decks are disappearing. Steam Machines are “not delayed.” Hardware prices are skyrocketing. In this video, Nick, Liam, and I unpack Valve's frustrating hardware moment and offer some speculation around why it's happening.

I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big #plushtodon is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!shop.joinmastodon.org/products…

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •@neauoire Not yet! I have a rough idea how to add that and hope to get it working later today. Hopefully it won’t add too many more bytes.
The urge to golf uxn programs while writing them is pretty hard to resist. I think it’s another reason it’s been taking me so long. 😀
