In Terre des Hommes, so filled with dreams and hopes for the future, Saint-Exupéry writes of how deeply moved he was when, flying for the first time by night alone over Argentina, he happened to notice a few flickering lights scattered below him across an almost empty plain.

They "twinkled here and there, alone like stars. ..." In truth, being made aware of our own solitude can give us insight into the solitude of others.

We tore half the boat apart today trying to find where the second breaker panel wires connect. Turns out they connected to the starting cables(!?), behind the wall(we had to remove the wall, and dismantle half of the chart-table to get to it). And in the end, it connected in the worse manner imaginable, to totally unrelated cables. Fucking classic.

Finally bringing the electric systems back online. First time doing this sort of thing but I think we've managed to balance ease of inspection, and robustness. It was very important to us that we could more easily monitor wear.

I was wondering earlier about if we could have never hired someone to do this, and this would have been hundreds of work hours and it could never have been done the way to wanted..

An interesting aspect of fractions and prime factorization is that multiplying fractions is the same as adding the prime numerators and subtracting the prime denominators.

For example, multiplying 42 by 5/14 means incrementing the power of prime 5, and decrementing the power of primes 2 and 7 — For a result of 42. A division is simply the inversion of the effects of the numerator and denumerator. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109564671285282775)

Yesterday, [@wim\_v12e](https://merveilles.town/@wim_v12e) introduced me to something that blew my mind, and I'd like to tell you about it.

Reversible computing is a model of computation in which time is reversible.

The first condition is that an input and output be uniquely retrievable from each other. Microprocessors which are reversible at the logic gates level can potentially emit less heat than irreversible processors, and someday that may become more economical than irreversible processo ... ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569842965595050)
2022-12-24T17:36:07Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:36**
So of course, first thing I wanted to know is how much entropy is lost in Uxn programs.

Uxn isn't a reversible environment, but it does make it easy to see what the information loss is due to a quirk of its design

Here's all the irretrievable data that is lost during each cycle of the "hello world" program. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569859065476473)
2022-12-24T17:32:30Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:32**
The promise of reversible computing is that the amount of heat loss for reversible architectures would be minimal for significantly large numbers of transistors. Rather than creating entropy (and thus heat) through destructive operations, a reversible architecture conserves the energy by performing other operations that preserve the system state.

An erasure of information in a closed system is always accompanied by an increase in energy consumption. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569844860504460)
2022-12-24T17:40:44Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:40**
So my idea now is, is there a way to reduce this loss of entropy somewhat. A run of the standard hello world losses 124 bytes of information that are needed to be reversible.

The simple option would be to have a 3rd stack where I stash all this wasted information, but first I think it might be possible to write reversible programs by-design.

There is a subset of [#uxntal](https://merveilles.town/tags/uxntal) that is perfectly reversible and that does not generate any loss in entropy, meaning that a step debugger could step backward in time without any loss of information.

I implemented a stack-effect checker last week and I think I might be able to detects linear routines too. Jumping around, self-modification, load/store opcodes will need to stash the entropy loss in a 3rd stack which will allow reversion of non-linear operations. ... ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109576541084190510)

Reversible/linear logic is very very interesting, if you already know the answer you're looking for, then there's no need to save any states at all, you can reduce the other side of the equation and end up with a reversible program.

You'll ask, but if you know both sides of the equation, why is there a need to compute at all.

In this little video I show the entropy loss in a standard loop against a version which releases the expected literals for a completely reversible program without states ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109582919854308802)

Does Information Increase in Computation?

Problem 1: Isn’t the output implied by the input?

Problem 2: Doesn’t this contradict the second law of thermodynamics?

This problem lies adjacent to another one at the roots of logic. If we extract logical consequences of axioms, then surely the answer was already there implicitly in the axioms; what has been added by the derivation?

If I do the non-conservative operation:

17 % 6 = 5

I end up with two shorts to release, that were created as a form of entropy loss, those are [#000c](https://merveilles.town/tags/000c) and #0002, I can unliteralize them with x -= x, and if they're zero I kill them from the entropy stack and can still run the operation backward.

So the operation is lossless if I can balance the input with the output. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109593550261857561)

Having the opportunity to re-write Oquonie to uxntal is so wonderful, I sometimes have to pinch myself to force me to look back and really take in that I get to spend my time programming in a made-up language that maps perfectly to how I reflect about interactive art and design.

The game features a conlang by which the characters communicate, and it seems fitting it would be programmed in something nearly as bizarre. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109773882166488285)

For the game we're working on, instead of going for a sort of JSON/YAML/CSV-type of serialization, I've rebuilt the world entirely in uxntal's native words, and it makes for a pretty neat definition of the map. A bonus is that the assembler flags all unused labels and so makes sure that every room is connected to the rest of the world.

I had doubts in the beginning, but it turned out fine. 💯

I try as best I can to not waste too much time constantly changing the text editor, unless it becomes unbearable.

I've added a new shortcut this morning, it had been a long time since I added anything new.

If I look at the directory view, and press the same directory view shortcut again, it brings me to the parent folder. I hated that I had to use two different keys depending which direction I was going.

This was becoming the type of friction that I classify as "death by thousand papercuts" ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109881622091991511)

COMEFROM is an obscure control flow structure used in some programming languages, originally as a joke.

COMEFROM is the inverse of GOTO in that it can take the execution state from any arbitrary point in code to a COMEFROM statement.

I've had a bit of time to kill between events and shows and things this week, and each time I had a few minutes to myself, I'd pour over the CADR lisp machine papers(528, 628, etc..)

I'm pretty convinced now that implementing lisps in Rust and C doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. Build-Your-Own-Lisp type books should really be focusing on teaching people to write for LISP machines instead of focusing on the software implementation. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110006911543094543)

Radical veganism goes beyond ceasing to buy non-human animal products, and buying vegan ones instead. Unlike vegan capitalists, “radical veganism” recognizes the colonial, patriarchal food paradigm, speciesism and the links between capitalism and human exploitation, capitalism and non-human animal exploitation.

In pursuit of total liberation, the abolition of all forms of oppression and hierarchy, such as those that perpetuate human supremacy is necessary.

The game is designed to run on a VM, and will be distributed with a manual that describes exactly how to write an emulator to run the 700kb rom - Our hope is that if platforms change, or if someone want to run it on their own unique system, they can write their own emulator so the game may survive bit rot.

Sixel, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format supported by terminals and printers from DEC. It consists of a pattern six pixels high and one wide, resulting in 64 possible patterns. Each possible pattern is assigned an ASCII character, making the sixels easy to transmit on 7-bit serial links.

So, [@rek](https://merveilles.town/@rek) and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.

We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

From time to time, people ask me "why use an assembled language, wouldn't just rebuilding an SDL application be faster?"

The same question goes for interpreted languages. Oquonie builds in 32 milliseconds on a relatively slow computer, it allows me to do live refresh of the application, whereas building even a simple SDL2 application in C takes about a full two seconds. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110142138674080189)

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

The following sequence of bytecode is a valid [#uxn](https://merveilles.town/tags/uxn) quine. Uxn is at an advantage in that raw hex is valid uxn code. So the quine here reads its own program and outputs itself again.

I've been changing my workflow these past few days from working with textual sources, to using something called structured editing.

Normally you'd think of a program as source code made of text, but in structure programming, you edit the symbols of the program, in this case the bytecode, labels and comments.

I use the textual representation when saving my work, so it can be versioned, but while working anything that is not a bytecode, a symbol or a comment is not recorded. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110227479975344644)

So, after wasting a bunch of time trying to pack a whole assembler into my text editor, I've realized that I was just making a mess of things and undid it all.

Instead, I've tried something pretty simple, what I did add is only sending the working file name when I press ctrl+b, and added an interactive mode to driflbim that constantly re-assembles incoming filepaths. It makes for something like interactive development without having to constantly go to the console to run the assembler. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110234630424473174)

So a few days I've realized that I very much liked working using structured editing.

Structured editing means that your editor is aware of the program's functioning enough that it handles how it should be presented, so you're not editing text as much as the underlying structure of the program.

It's just a fancy way of saying that it's basically just a symbols aware disassembler.

I've spent the past 2 days improving the UX so I could run the reassembler without going through the terminal. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110238671322098566)

Each time I implement form logic, I learn a few new tricks, I've always been a bit scared of handling negative length selection(when selection-to, is before the selection-from). Turns out there's not much to it beyond making helper functions that returns the range and flips thing when they're negative. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110277353923111395)

The nice weather is coming back and we're nearly ready to cast off. We have to resupply for the summer, and haul out to check that everything under the waterline is in good shape - then, we're heading north.

We've done an awful lot of changes to the ship this winter, we're excited to go put these experiments to the test. We've collected details notes on the various modifications these past few months here:

I've ported the little Note Pad application last week, and it turned out to be a lot more practical than I expected. I have it open all day long and by the day's end its 8 pages are full of snippets and things I've collected.

I admire the minimalism of the original one, but lacking shortcuts for jumping between words and the lack of shift+mouse selection was annoying, so I've added those.

We don't use refrigeration at all, so the way we manage to eat fresh greens is by sprouting, which is a habit that we've kept up for a few years now. Each day we have a cup of sprouted legumes ready to cook with.

I've been bouncing back and forth between two designs for something now, where I can either:

a) Explicitly declare a function to be a fall-through type, where it simply uses the next function's arity.

b) Try to guess what the routine is trying to do, and figure why it's not returning.

Turns out the b) plan is a whack-a-mole of a problem where in some weird cases the next routine's arity is non-standard and breaks things in unexpected ways.

Due to the absolute lack of planning in terms of programming language design, if you can even call Uxntal a programming language, means that there was never a census of Uxntal's capabilities.

After nearly two weeks of trying to fit a prism inside of a circle, I've managed to find a comfy balance for the uxntal arity checker. I can now get on with my life.

The validator is able to validate its own source code, which is as convoluted as I can stomach in regards to programs that I can maintain.

Most of uxntal wasn't designed per say, it's more that programming patterns emerged from toying around with the primitives. ie: There never was a convention for a loop.

I was reading about sliding wood puzzles recently, and I had some time to kill this afternoon, so I made an implementation of Dad's Puzzler. A puzzle where you must bring the top-left block(2x2), to the bottom-left by sliding things around.

It's probably very silly, but I need a second opinion, for a part of a routine that checks if two characters are whitespace ( char1 char2 -- f ):

Instead of:

#21 LTH SWP #21 LTH AND

Would it be safe to just do:

I do a fair bit of uxntal code review these days and since each person has their own unique style, and sometimes I just can't understand the person's patterns at a glance, I wrote a tiny code formatter that standardizes any tal file to something pretty "standard"(or at least familiar to me). Here's a 1000 bytes rom that'll overwrite the source file with the formatted result. The linked source file is fed a minified source and here is the result:

All these experiments at structured editing, reassembly, auto-formatting are my poking at better understanding which patterns are used in a language that lacks syntactical constructs such as loop, and conditionals.

Updated /now page.

To continue my research on concatenative language syntax inference, in contrast to the reassembler which create an intelligible textual representation from a binary file and a symbols file; this time, I've written a reformatter that works from a textual source file and reindents it based on context. An interesting puzzle, considering how few syntaxic structures Uxntal has, lacking explicit notation for loops or even conditionals.

Criteria for a Good Language: It should obfuscate how the machine works. It should scale to address the version of computation that is shared among all of its users. It should have the enterty of your trust, it knows better than you what you need. Just ask of it what you want, it will figure it out for you. It is better because it is modern, and because it has libraries. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110738429197907305)

As suggested by [@nettles](https://mastodon.scot/@nettles), I've implemented full auto sprite flipping to [#varvara](https://merveilles.town/tags/varvara). It shouldn't impact already current roms, but instead of writing your own sprite flipping routine, you can make use of the sprite flipping to draw entire rows/cols at a time.

As side-effect is that right-to-left, and bottom-to-top, font drawing can make use of the auto byte, which had always been lacking.

Implementing the recent changes to Varvara in Oquonie, I noticed how many single-purpose labels I used merely to hop over short lengths of code, enough that having ran of ideas for names to called them, I would default to things such as &skip, or &continue. The solution was to create anonymous labels, and as to be capable of nesting them, I ended up inadvertently adding lambdas to Uxntal.

Because the Danes already had a strong DIY-culture for small wind turbines generating electricity on farms, they started building windmills to heat their houses. Some chose the indirect path, converting wind generated electricity into heat using electric heating appliances. Others, however, developed mechanical windmills that produced heat directly.

I like how the transputer can hook to 4 other transputers for spreading the work. Because of it, I keep going back to implementing parallelism as a device, so in Uxntal, you could dispatch vectors to be evaluated by other uxn cpus(a thread pool of uxn instances). So when I apply/map/filter/etc, I could say spread the length of memory to modify 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ways..

That varvara Tasks device could be simply 8 shorts, all vectors, nulling one of these vector ports would wait for the thread to end. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/110948183596392740)

Fundamentally, creativity is a question of time. Mostly of our daily activity with computers happens through hopefully speedy but ossified software. We use the computer in “speedrun mode.” This is the paradox of creative coding: the coding part is supposed to make things faster, the creative part requires that things go slowly.

On the eve of the talk, I sit at a table half-awake before what is to become sleepless night number four, 2 hours in waiting for my first real meal since leaving Victoria to arrive, blatter is coming down hard on this very loud, and very understaffed, and only available vegetarian place within walking distance from the hotel. And, my voice is gone, I can't speak.

It wasn't one big mistake that fucked me this time, it was a thousand little oversight ... ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111132765985138561)

I see lots of folks building websites who go straight to adding build steps and markdown-to-html parsers to their website, half of those get stranded in toolchain hell in the process.

Here's an alternative that's often overlooked: Make writing html comfortable, it'll delay the need for a complex build step. It might not work for all cases, but it might help a handful few. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111154810425383324)

"public housing projects were viewed with suspicion, as un-American and socialist. They were bad for business, in that they deprived private landlords and real estate companies of opportunities. They were also good for business in that they made work for construction companies, but only while they were being built, which helps explain the decision to invest in their creation but not their maintenance."

An alternative basis for development of a completely incompatible digital infrastructure is presented here. This minimizes the potential for leakage of information, particularly malware and other covert content from our existing digital infrastructure. This effort can be described as taking security through obscurity as a fundamental design principle.

Using base 3 instead of base 2 maximizes the incompatibility.

We get to check our mail about four times a year, and today was such a day. It's mostly little correspondence that we get, we don't order stuff online because we can't get to it, but when we get mail I sometimes find one of SL's zines in there and I'm always eager to check because of these.

I relate to SL's complicated relationship with computers and how they break.

So our cushions are goners, they're so thin sitting on them compresses them into nil. And, building foam mattresses from scratch has this very weird thing where buying an already upholstered mattress is cheaper than buying foam, and fabric individually - And making your own.

So we found a place that sells replacement cushions for lawn chairs and that sort of thing, and we'll just hack them into what we need.

I had this idea earlier that if I route the text editor to the calculator and back, I basically gain calculator capabilities without changing the editor. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111492042091965439)

"In a perfect society, no self-discipline is necessary, because what needs to be done, and what people feel like doing, are one and the same. In a good society, they're close enough that nobody cares if you don't do anything useful."

I've been working from within the flow-based operating system for a few days now. It's starting to feel a bit familiar. It has been pretty nice to make and unmake communication between programs as they run.

I've managed to implement a basic folder navigation with the dropdown rom, which made my life a lot easier

Trying to resolve conflicts on a pull request on Github, they've modified the editor UI and now it's totally fucked on firefox.

I think 2024 is when I leave that site for good as a treat to myself. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111502941879981323)

I've been meaning to have the menu rom complete before the month starts, but alas. So this morning I've added arrow controls to help with selecting the right thing from the menu's list, and I've added A button and Enter key to send the selection to Porporo. I think this month will be a lot of this, working on something from within the system, and partly fixing the little friction that I encounter along the way.
