Last Notes npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That’s pretty awful, but I’ve seen it so many times now. Back when J2EE was the new hotness, there were a bunch of engineers who had to use every damn feature of it, no matter how stupid the result was. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I *love* Canada, honestly. The Toronto area is like a second home to me. If it were completely up to me, I’d be living there already. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky David Gilmour > Eric Clapton. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky When I took chemistry 101 in college, the prof said that even if we learned nothing else, he’d be happy if we remembered what happens when you throw a kilo of elemental sodium in a lake. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I blocked a few very prominent accounts over this very issue. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Sweet! HDMI (or DVI) is a bit deal. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Two things:<li><p>That my doubts about Christianity were absolutely valid.</p></li><li><p>That the gender dysphoria that I felt since I was 8 or so wasn’t going to go away and instead, would only get worse.</p></li> npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky [@mos_8502](https://studio8502.ca/@mos_8502 ) Have you ever seen this? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky It’s weird just how often Ohio gets hit by tropical storms / hurricanes. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Once in a generation, a champion is given unto us. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Exactly. I kind of think the ‘816 is even better suited for Pascal than C, but there’s no free Pascal compiler that targets it either. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I’ve looked at this a few times, but the biggest problem is that it’s mainly 6502-based. The 65816 is different enough than the 6502 that adding support is a huge undertaking. (I’ve looked into updating cc65 for this, too.) npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky This is fine, you should definitely use what you’re familiar with. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky He really just needs to pull himself by the bootstraps. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Does anyone know if it's safe for a #trans woman to travel to #Italy? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky The time that my mother always referred to as “the butt crack of dawn.” npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky anything before 8:30 is early npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Ah, ok, that’s cool. I guess I thought that console_print would be called from the terminal emulation code. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I didn’t know that’s how cooked mode worked. Good to know. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky end of line w/o newline should wrap to next line. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky tbh, that kind of bit shifting is kind of painful on a 65xx anyway. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That’s kind of what I was thinking too. Even trying to fit more than 80 columns into a line of 640 pixels is kind of a bad idea anyway. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Ah, ok. Yeah, I think what you’re looking at is probably the best way to go unless you want to get tricky and use bits instead. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Are you basically making programmable tab stops? Otherwise, I’d think just doing some sort of modulo logic based on the tab size would work. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That looks really good. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Darth Bortles npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky No worries, you're really good about that sort of thing. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky So, I'm back, kinda... I needed to take a couple days away because of all of the political posts were sending my anxiety to really high levels. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Yeah, I think I just never connected with video games in general… I mean, I liked Galaga, Defender, Tron, even Track n’ Field, but anything that I can’t just play for like 5 minutes and move on is too much. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I probably missed it due to age…. I never got into PC gaming or any consoles past the Atari 2600. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky You’ll have a community to guide. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky The New York Times is the journalistic equivalent of a 1972 Ford Pinto. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky What is it with #trans women and ChronoTrigger? Did I miss an important memo or something? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky There is plenty of software you just can’t get on a Mac or on Linux. Games being one, FPGA suites being another. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Sure, but that’s how you end up with software that only supports Windows. Neither Linux or macOS are worth the cost otherwise. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky To be fair, cross platform GUIs are hard and companies are cheap. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky So docker is just insane, but are flatpak/snap worse than macOS app bundles? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Unfortunately, this and Electron both exist. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky So, basically, interfacing directly with the bus? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Do you think the clock port could provide an interface to an ESP32-based wifi adapter? (Or would it be limited to 9600 baud?) npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Yeah, I figure someone will eventually make a ESP32-based wifi/internet adapter for it. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Sounds good to me. What key would you use for compose? Maybe right-alt or right-super? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Yeah, I think supporting that level of Pascal (which I think it what you’re getting at) is definitely possible. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Here's the real question though: npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky The ability to bootstrap on another machine would come in handy, because you could build the compiler on the other machine in the target language itself, compile it, and run it both on the bootstrapping machine or the Sentinel itself. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky @npub1qnu…hzwk @npub1kz8…j78f @npub1wm7…mk4m npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I’m still toying with the idea of a non-line number basic, similar to FastBASIC or BASICXL. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Putting the interpreter in a different bank is easy. Splitting up the different data types into different banks gets really complicated. Performance would be impacted by having to switch back and forth between data banks. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That all being said, looking at the code, it’s well done and would be a great starting point. The MIT license is nice too. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky There’s like 3 ways to go about porting it: npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky So in other words, if a bunch of volunteers built a hospital, but after 9 years, the building was completely inaccessible to disabled people, it would be wrong to complain about it, and the person making the complaint was the real problem. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I’d very much prefer a sane character set where ‘A’ is decimal 65 as opposed to one where it’s 193. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky What fucking standing does the POS AG of Missouri have to sue New York? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I wish I was up to the task of writing a C compiler, but C is just over my head for that sort of thing. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Nope. He’s been patching lcc lately, I think, but I have my doubts on how good of a compiler it actually is. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky There is a 65816 port, but it’s limited to bank 0, mostly because it relies on cc65. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Yeah- use it as a sort of integer math co-processor. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I’ve had the same idea. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Anything special about the beans and rice besides the two obvious ingredients? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky The “architect” at my old job kept getting pissy because I kept using them in React-based code. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky If you get bored and want to throw yourself at it before I can get to it, please just let me know. I don’t want to hold anything up. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Yeah, that’s a really nice mode, especially with 16-bit index registers. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That sounds really straight forward. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I want to, yeah. I just haven’t had time to work on it yet, beyond thinking about how it should work. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Thanks, I appreciate that. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky That’s awesome! I’m a little burnt from work right now, but I hope to do some more coding soon. I have to get the chip-select stuff working in the emulator. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky *looks at temperature*… I’m not sure climate change is really having a hard getting in the news right now. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky You ever get a reply guy that seems a bit strange, so you look at their post history and Holy Moly are they ever out there? npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky So, the driver is almost the same thing as ‘raw’ mode for a TTY, I think. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky I think it’s definitely a good idea to have some sort of text output available as soon as the machine boots up. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Was thinking the same thing. npub1dmy8u892wudp6vyk8wsku6s0fqyl0dcq0spqwz7m7m5fkd96544srm5tze Becky Well, if nothing else, that would make scrolling a heck of a lot easier, probably quicker, too.
