@amoroso anyone know when was the first graphics compo at a demoparty held?
I guess around 5 years later.. tells how fast computers progressed during 80's.

@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. -

RE: https://oldbytes.space/@amoroso/115706283832274942
Speaking of Jack Crenshaw's "Let's Build a Compiler", Ahmed Thabet reformatted the series and published a prettified and browsable version. Nice.

Oldbytes.space, the Mastodon instance for retrocomputing enthusiasts that hosts my main account @[email protected], has been down for several hours. Do you have any insight?
Right now I'm writing from a secondary account that will be shut down in two days, my main account is still at Oldbytes.

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.
