@jtruk @peckhamdigital Crestfallen-I'll be in the area 10 days too late 🫤. Such a missed chance of learning and starting some retro collab over a pint! Will any video| materials|... be made available? Congrats on making the cut for Peckham Digital [edited for mistranslation]

Curious about the #demoscene, or fancy learning techniques for #CreativeCoding? I'm running a workshop in @peckhamdigital this Saturday morning (20th July). We'll make some pretty things and admire some masterpieces. Inspiration guaranteed! Tickets: peckhamdigital.org/events/2024/sa… #TIC80

@cayetanaAT Gran referencia! "Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore"

Pierdan toda esperanza.

@cayetanaAT Muy bueno, gracias. Y "el orden liberal" va mas alla del legalismo simplista. Sin inquietos no tendriamos Mai 68, sufragio secreto y universal, horas laborales acotadas, desegregacion racial, etc. Hay que defender valores tanto desde el escaño como desde la manifestacion.

Hace hoy 80 años mi padre dio la noticia del desembarco de Normandía a través de los micrófonos de La Voix de l’Amérique. Tenía 18 años y poco después zarparía rumbo a Europa y a la guerra con otros 6000 soldados americanos y franceses. El orden liberal es una delicada mezcla de inteligencia, humanidad y valentía, y su defensa exige sacrificios a los que nuestra generación no está acostumbrada. Pero no hay alternativa. Fuera del orden liberal sólo hay fuerza y violencia y decadencia y desolación. Fuera de la democracia no hay libertad ni paz ni progreso ni civilización. We shall never surrender. Aquí, el teletipo urgente.

@purasensacion Hola Marina, tenes un link de zoom o algo asi para la primera lectura colectiva de "Uma aprendizagem"? Gracias

@italian_poetry L'Alighieri e' rilevante in ogni situazione. La sua opera comprende l'universo, come l'Aleph de Borges

Some Dante was long overdue. This isn't for a beginner or even intermediate learner, but it is such a staple. italianpoetry.it/poems/paolo-e-… Tradition calls this "Paolo e Francesca," but Paolo never speaks nor we are told his name. #poetry #poemoftheday #poem #poems #italian #literature

@ChrisKeall Bob Elswit's work. Lots of commonalities with "Good night, and good luck", nominated for an Academy award

Ripley (Netflix) is beautifully shot

@andersoncliffb @rfloyd7 You left the South for New England? We call that a reverse Bush🧐 More seriously: best of luck!

@rfloyd7 Thanks so much, Rick!

Congratulations to my friend Clifford Anderson, just appointed Divinity Library Director divinity.yale.edu/news/clifford-…

@8BitShowAndTell *Maybe* for games, but hard disagree with the "(and other software)" part of that statement. Programming and hacking cartridges (Final, Freeze Frame, etc) were big.

@salt11949 @8BitShowAndTell (2/2) When development moved to France, Orics could have grown into the national initiative Informatique pour Tous (computing at every school), where 8-bitters were connected by nanoréseaux-early LANs!

@salt11949 @8BitShowAndTell (1/2)The Oric Atmos was innovative in its software (in ROM). Had a neat Basic and intriguing possibilities for low-level programming. But the hardware had been poorly designed, and, independently, the ideas never landed at a successful company.

Kind of unexpectedly, Radio Shack once sold Commodore 16 keyboards as a $4.95 "Special Purchase!". They helpfully provided a wiring diagram on the package with an interesting take on the Commodore symbol.

@tic_computer Sorry if this is peripheral: what are people using to run #TIC80 games on iOS? (whether the games were developed on desktop or using something like this)

Lately, one thought has been haunting me: is it even possible to transfer the development of #TIC80 games to mobile devices? To finally put my mind at ease, I decided to develop a small proof of concept and this is how it looks like at the initial stage on my tablet.

@jeayewilkerson Syntax parity with Clojure went from 42% to 80% in ~18 months. Very impressive, although still a reasonably long way from becoming stable

jank, the native Clojure dialect on LLVM, now has a logo! C++ on one side, Clojure on the other, functional at the core. Shout out to jaide for designing this! github.com/jaidetree #clojure #llvm #cplusplus

@santiagollach Lo mas importante es la inmunidad parlamentaria que conlleva

Qué opio ser senador, hay que tener ganas eh.

@borkdude Is the problem correlated at all with you having run compute-intensive stuff shortly before shutting the PC down? If so, maybe cooling problem. If not, it may still be a cooling problem--try keeping an eye on CPU, GPU, etc temperature while running your usual workloads.

The PC I built in 2020 (after baking bread another Corona hype...) doesn't power on, unless I unplug it for 10-15 minutes and then plug it back in. What could this be? Faulty power supply?

@jtruk Great demo, major amount of bank switching! To think that you all programmed it both in Lua and in Assembly <ducks>😄...

AssemblyTV Megademo / TPoLuaM / #TIC80 A HUGE collaborative effort, featuring homages and in-jokes alongside some serious technical whiz and mischief. Everyone involved is rightly proud of this prod! Run time: ~4.999 minutes 😄 demozoo.org/productions/32… (YouTube in link) #demoscene

@santiagollach La (power) ballad es la prostitucion de tantas almitas descarriadas... Scorpions ("Still loving you"), Led Zeppelin ("All my love"), Hank Williams ("Cheatin' heart"), Bee Gees (todo). Clapton, 😂 haberse quedado en R&Bs

El tachero va con Wonderful Tonight de Clapton versión en castellano de JAF al mango y cantándola a toda voz. ¡La puta que vale la pena estar vivo!

@mrdoornbos (last/2) ...and have the discipline to use them correctly, then footguns can become irrelevant. Older CPUs don't aggressively cache, branch-predict, etc. so the overhead of threading code is less significant. Check out White Lightning Forth for the C64.

@mrdoornbos (1/2) Game development, concretely. On underpowered (for today's standards) 8-bit CPUs, Forth's much more efficient than Basic. Also much more expressive as a lang: if you build safe abstractions like arrays, diff flavors of local vars, etc...👇

Okay, FORTH language people, what problem areas is FORTH particularly well suited for? I'm past the super beginner stages and ready to apply it to a problem area to see how I feel about it.

@jtruk Congratulations, it's excellent to have people making #TIC80 known all around the Geordie-sphere!

Creative Code Club, next Wednesday evening. I'll be running a session on #TIC80. Drop me a line if you'd like more details! 😄
