https://kolja.rs/algorithm-d/ giving me nightmare flashbacks, along with https://skanthak.hier-im-netz.de/division.html
i feel somewhat vindicated to have implemented division in my #forth using shift-and-subtract, not using knuth or any derivative thereof, because even after staring at the algorithm in hacker's delight for ages, i couldn't convince myself it worked right, but for shift-and-subtract i could. sometimes i like to think i am smart but division is just too complicated for me, man.

reading about small forth impls is such a great palette cleanser (they're all impeccably old and impeccably dustless little gems)
you will not regret reading about small forth impls

Tired AF: Using #slop spigots to re-write already mature software in the
${meme_language}of the day.Wired: Write honest code in honest, non-corporate-controlled/fascism-embracing languages. And take pride in your flipping work. Do less, and be able to gaze into your childrens' eyes, knowing that to the best of your ability, you didn't contribute to the destruction of the world they're inheriting.
Inspired: Write it in #Forth, maybe. On paper. While in the forest. Drinking tea. And talking to the birds and squirrels.

It seems that #forth can be a good language for quick one liners that do data processing. I basically needed something like an RPN calculator but for matrices stored as files in disk. #python #numpy scripts were used before but they were quite verbose. I can also get #netcdf data, process that as a forth pipeline, then dump to window for quick animation.

🔥 Oh, look, someone managed to combine #Lisp and #Forth into a 'Lispy' Forth! Because what the world really needed was another esoteric programming Frankenstein 🧟♂️. Also, congratulations on writing a book as clear as mud, with all the eloquence of a syntax error. 📚💥

Already posted this years ago, but still keep thinking a lot about this seemingly trivial quote/insight and more generally what it means to build futures, not just the future, whilst choosing different lenses of the past and present as selective references/tools for aiming at, achieving (or even avoiding) said futures:
"Fredric Jameson establishes that in postmodernism we have experienced a weakening sense of historisity such that what is, what was, and what will be all exist as presents in time. 1970, 1991, 1992, and 2017 all happen simultaneously. Hence developers working on new projects while still coding in decades-old text editors. They write the future in the past and are made present in so doing."
