I think I can generalize the way I found them (I constructed specific external angles expressed as periodic binary exansions, and traced their external rays towards the minibrots)

I implemented @neauoire@merveilles.town 's Rejoice, in Perl for some reason 😀
This was attempt like 3? I vaguely remember reading a Moore quote about "writing, rewriting, and rewriting again". I follow that advice religiously
I absolutely hate writing parsers, and yet invariably end up having to write a parser. This is probably the best one I've done but its still a bit of a mess!
The only difference I can spot between my implementation and the UXN one is that mine can't differentiate between [x x x] and x^3 (it always uses the latter). This means that things like [ .x .x .x ] will only print a single x (I'm not sure what the intended behaviour is for that case anyway tbh?)
Ah yeah that makes sense, it feels a lot more intuitive that way
Ooh I didn't even think about optimisations. Do you mean that x^10 'y/x would become y^10/x^10? (i.e., from an anonymous label draining x, to a fraction producing y^10)
Its crazy that "optimising a program" could just be "simplifying fractions"

So, @exquisitecorp sent me this graphic design book A Co-Program For Graphic Design, in it were a few pages about Hilbert, Peano, and briefly mentioning Formulario Mathematico, a book written in Giuseppe's own simplified Latin. His work has been on my mind lately as I try to design a kind of standard notation to use across all my notes hoping to standardize multiple topic-specific notations into just one style.
Regardless, as I was clumsily trailing Peano's footsteps, I came across this video[1], giving me the idea to try and translate some of the Rejoice examples into Peano's Latino Sine Flexione, as a kind of.. homage? Zoom forward a few days, a hundred hours of Latin youtube, nearly breaking Arch installing Latin dictionaries, I might have gone beyond just translating examples..

21 years ago, Linus Torvalds launched Git, and now he's more famous for it than Linux. Who knew? 🤯
#linux #git #opensource
Still, I prefer #Fossil fossil-scm.org and fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/…
Git provides file versioning services, whereas Fossil adds an integrated wiki, ticketing & bug tracking, embedded documentation, tech notes, a forum, and a chat, all within a single nicely-designed web UI, protected by an access control system. These capabilities are available for Git as 3rd-party add-ons, but with Fossil they are integrated to the point that it approximates "GitHub-in-a-box."
