@amoroso 🧵Newton’s Waste Book
4
Bookkeepers kept a “waste book” as a place for notes recorded on the fly. Later they would extract selected information and copy it into the formal ledger. -

Speaking of Jack Crenshaw's "Let's Build a Compiler", Ahmed Thabet reformatted the series and published a prettified and browsable version. Nice.

The light theme seems more popular than I expected. I use the light theme too but, when cataract came knocking last year, I learned the hard way the importance of the dark theme.

@amoroso
Thank you for this tip, 👍 🙏
I use #screenShot all the time to help folks switch off of the old legacy OS and often need to highlite the salient parts of a screen shot.
Its has always been a huge overkill to bring up #inkscape or #gimp just to draw a red circle around something.#flameshot is the right tool for the job.
Long live #FLOSS and #FOSS and our ability to use free softwarer.

@amoroso @lproven Well, I can think of many ways how to improve #computers. 😉

https://karl-voit.at/2018/10/17/ted-nelson-interview/Once you've got rid of #filenames, #folders, #applications, ... you will find much room for coming up with something fundamental new. This
time without adapting humans for the computer but the otherwise round: creating the ultimate digital tool for the humans.This can never be reached by an evolutionary process like suggested in the article.
I disagree with the judgment that we tried hard.
There's no incentive for a revolution. No one is able to start this process. We're pretty much stuck.
This is not the top of the IT industry. We're still in its stone age and made a situation where any fundamental change is a downside somehow. A local optimum but never ever the global one, if you like.

> actual raw machine code, not Assembly, of aarch64 and x86-64 [considered not scary]
P.S.
The machine language of *86* (where each star is a wildcard), while not scary, is rather unpleasant because it started on a very resource-limited processor and because of all that compatibility baggage.
I have sympathy for Intel's designers...
For compiler implementors, too. -
By the way, the only machine language I have seen (not counting byte code) that is _friendly_ and not just not scary is that of the PDP-11.
I'm pretty sure the same goes for the PDP-10.
Tempi passati...

Yes, a REPL is a treasure.
Probably worth repeating all these points (and more) for the benefit of all those who don't know them yet.
"It’s not clear how to reload code after it has changed."
is a valid point for Python as well. -
@amoroso My thoughts:
- They mix up Markdown with the general term lightweight #markup language (as if #Markdown is the only #LML syntax)
- They ignore all other markup syntax examples such as (La)TeX, HTML, ...
- great screenshots of Word for DOS upwards 👍
- the title should be "#WYSIWYG vs. LML" (instead of the Word vs. Markdown story)
- no mentioning of other LML examples
Well it looks, as if we're settling for a mediocre standard again.

A good workaround finally allows me to use the Cardputer uLisp Machine, a lovely card-sized microcontroller system that runs uLisp. If any Emacs wizard has any advice on how to fix the remaining minor echo issue mentioned in the post, I'm interested.

My lovely little M5Stock Cardputer microcontroller system runs uLisp on the bare metal but I can't do much with it due to a showstopper issue. Here's my brief experience with the device.

This is a personal story I hope will give web designers and user interface experts some food for thought: my experience with reading digital screens with eyesight degraded by cataract. There may be more users with suboptimal vision than usually thought.

@amoroso #symbolics #genera naturally also has graph drawing features. Attached screenshot shows a simple example. In the Listener (-> #lisp #repl) I define a new command Show Flavor Tree. It displays the inherited Flavors. Flavors are early classes on the #lispmachine. The Listener is also a drawing plane. The command takes the name of a flavor class, then calls the graph formatter with arguments. PRESENT-FLAVOR prints the flavor and makes it mouse sensitive.

2) I've compiled the LOOP alternative ITERATE (written by Jonathan Amsterdam) on the VLM. It actually works. ITERATE has even more features than LOOP, but uses a more Lisp-like syntax.In the right X11 window there is a Zmacs and a Lisp Listener. The left X11 window is from the same VLM, but displays the documentation browser in its own X11 window. The documentation content comes from another VLM.

#lisp #commonlisp #lispmachine #symbolics #genera
1) Thanks, I just updated my Genera to the latest release 9.0.6. The installation is slightly unusual. It's a virtual lisp machine (VLM), here running on a Mac with an M1 Pro cpu. UI is via X11, using the XQuartz application. The VLM talks to another VLM on the network, which provides various server functionality. But it also has its own file system, which is actually a Lisp Machine File System (LMFS). -> 2) -

☝️ L'orizzonte nord-occidentale in gran parte libero mi permette di vedere facilmente Mercurio nelle apparizioni serali. E a volte posso fotografarlo con qualche pianeta vicino in cielo, come Giove in questo caso. -
@amoroso I would be interested in hearing and reading about if you had a conversation with noted finely aged hardware guru @jasmaz about 80s (or earlier..) #interlisp -machines. Sadly I don't know anything about Xerox AI Workstations (yet). #vintage #LispMachines

@interlisp @amoroso
@kentpitmanWhy do the ATAN and ARCTAN functions in #Medley #Interlisp return the result angle in degrees rather than radian?
I know the answer is (the fixnum 42), but why?
Questions over questions?
