April 1st is over.
However, we really do want to port Haiku to the RK356x.
In fact, there is progress on porting Haiku to arm64 and it seems to be making good progress: discuss.haiku-os.org/t/arm64-p…
We have NO PLANS to deprecate our ALARM-based Linux distro. 🙂
Arm64 port for Haiku
Hi there, I have start to work on an arm64 port for Haiku and the end goal is full RPI5 support. It will be interesting to see how far we can go.So far I got a minimal arm64 desktop image working in qemu: A screenshot from qemu.Haiku Community
We want to port Haiku to the RK356x platform 🙂It's a long term plan but once Haiku port for RK356x is done and ready, we'll:
- Deprecating our ALARM-based Linux distro in favor of Haiku.
- All new PineTab2 will ship with Haiku instead of traditional ALARM-based Linux distro.
- Existing users will still remain on ALARM, however there'll not be any updates (user will receive "there is nothing to do" when they tried to update it)
The Vampire Rabbit of Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne is best known for its proud history of industry and invention, its famous football club, and its vibrant nightlife. Many people who walk the busy streets of the Toon, are unfamiliar with its dark side: real life witch trials, public execution and dissection, and of course, the vampire rabbit.
Unlike the former two very dark tales from Newcastle, the Vampire Rabbit is of a lighter order. More of an interesting conversation piece for those who seek it out or come across it by accident...

Like solar, wind is also broadly distributed. I'm still awaiting an effective home wind turbine. Even at 0.1 kWh production it would make a difference at home, in addition to reducing pressure on the grid and its associated infrastructure costs.
"My friend Malcolm told me a story about pronghorns recently, the North American creatures sometimes confused with antelopes. They can run at speeds of nearly sixty miles an hour, much, much faster than any of their existing predators. Some biologists think they're still outrunning the dangerous species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, specifically the cheetahs that existed on this continent. And then Malcolm asked what each of us is still outrunning and whether we can tell when our predator has been extinct for ten thousand years."

For a while now I've been wanting a generic notation to explain various things on my wiki(tropical arithmetic, multisets, other programming languages, ternary logic, primes, etc..) and I found a PL design I really enjoy writing.
It lands in a weird place, I feel like it might be the only concatenative language without a stack? As far as I know anyways.
I took a day to implement it, and shoved it into a little interactive playground. I have yet to populate the examples.

“The amount of untaxed wealth hidden offshore by the richest 0.1 percent exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people), according to a new Oxfam analysis published on April 2, 2026, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Panama Papers.
The findings show that, a decade later, the super-rich continue to exploit offshore systems to evade taxes and conceal assets, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated international action to tax extreme wealth and end the use of tax havens.
An amount of $3.55 trillion in untaxed wealth was stashed offshore in tax havens and unreported accounts in 2024, according to Oxfam’s estimates. “This sum exceeds the GDP of France and is more than twice the combined GDP of the world’s 44 least developed countries,” a statement by Oxfam noted.“

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •I did write a whole game in Vera for December Adventure 2024
One bottleneck became things like "your rules to check for the parity of a register is 40 rules deep, but there are 5 step. So, it's really 200 rules deep. But, it is also part of a hot-loop and takes 20,000 rules to finish".
Second issue was things like "rules submit all values in one transaction". So, you had to awkwardly spread actions over many rules to enforce sequence of individual steps.

in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •Also, doing a hailstone makes me feel like comparing Rejoice to Forth and (rule-oriented) FRACTRAN is a bit of a disservice to the language. It has fractrans encoding of counter machines but is farm more direct, and definitely doesn't feel like handling forth or any stack-based language. It has a rather unique feel where every operation can be made conditional.
Makes me think of the work down with Vinegar or Prowl (if you remember that one from UberPyro). I think the conditionality of everything in Rejoice is its stand out feature. I think a real moment for me with Rejoice was in writing
done [n^2]/[n^2 done] [Halt]/done. Something there just wholely unique about it.Languages

in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •I've been thinking about some stuff, maybe you have come across this before or have some insight.
But I was thinking of allowing negative(signed) amounts.
So like n^-4 n^4 would yield 1/1, or identity [].
I'm not really sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's something that's like RIGHT THERE, I feel like it might go to fun places, has a way to indicate the "lack of something".
Just thought I'd share that idea with you, not sure if will implement or not, seems maybe more of a curiosity. I don't know how this will impact matching X)
... and and and and ...
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •From the perspective of counter machines, signed counters can work. But it breaks down pretty badly if you allow it in Fractran's encoding scheme.
It means allowing fractions in the bag (2-1 = 1/2), it also opens a can worms around what
[...]/x^-1means. When I was messing with recipe books, I quickly found I needed <0, =0, and >0.... and and and and ...

in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •I think until I have a clearer idea of what a negative count match "means", I'm not going to push further, but have you come across something that works that way with counter machines I could use to try this idea? Or do they always have all the different comparison operators to handle that sort of things?
I was just looking if petri nets and that sort of stuff had ways to handle the lack-of-something and there isn't much written about that.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •not f(x) and h(x). This is why for my check on the hailstone function I phrased it like this:I have to construct a token representing a choice, the destroy it to represent its negation. With a "not" in Fractran, I could have written:

in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •... and and and and ...
in reply to ... and and and and ... • • •This is also true of Petri nets. They are all about tokens flowing through a system. It creates a contradiction in the model if a transition can assert you "don't have any tokens".
How can you have a token representing the lack of tokens?
