  1. This rune-relationship project has taken longer than I thought: a whole fucking year, and I'm not halfway through. I stumbled when I lost my joy (Wunjo) and had to create it again; then I got hung up on Hagalaz and it took a natural event to shake me out of my stagnation.

    So here, this is what Hagalaz means.

  4. I asked for a cold and snowy winter, the giantess gave me a winter of biting cold, drifts of snow, and a frozen lake. I asked for a couple additional days of this, she granted them.

    Recently I thought to myself, it's about time for me to write about Hagalaz, I could use some hail.

    See what the giantess has given me today. She holds me in her hands, and I am hers.

  7. This is an experiment. I wanted to see what ChatGPT is capable of, so I greeted it in #OldNorse … and it responded in kind.

    The pronunciation is almost entirely correct. I'm guessing they're using an Icelandic speaker. I ran the text through a rune translator to set it in Younger #Futhark, then cleaned it up according to what few grammatical rules I know.

    I'll probably take this down today. I'm a little blown away by this.

    Each column has a burnt in bind rune of a gods name. From left to right inscriptions read

  11. Why didn't this occur to me sooner? A really easy way to clean up messy pyrographic work is simply to sand it down! After a few minutes of 150, 220, and 400 grit, it's much more consistent and legible. Go on, guess what it says. #OldNorse #runology #runes #futhark

    #Futhark
    #programming language:

    • Escaped in 2017 from University of Copenhagen #DIKU, the #CS research group founded by Naur himself
    • A member of Milner ML family of functional languages
    • Pure functional—like Miranda, Haskell, Elm, etc.—without objects, obviously
    • Far more sensible functor (module) syntax than SML and OCaml
    • Far cleaner appearance than SML's half-century-old syntax
    • Automatic exploitation of GPU-borne parallelism via CUDA or OpenCL

    As a life-long fan of Milner's ML, Futhark is a far more comfortable couch upon which to lounge, for me, than the current crop of popular languages that pander to #AI, like R, Python, Julia, Mojo, etc.

    💕 Futhark 💕
    — modernity without mania
    — performance without penance
    — maturity without mouldiness
    — pedigree without pomposity

  20. #DigiArchMaintainathon motivated me to finally write a blog post about the integration of #futhark code into #rstats packages. I've done this last year for my ggpointgrid package and wanted to document the workflow since then.

    This is a bit nerdy, admittedly, but maybe still interesting for people that come to R from a #functionalprogramming background. At least I myself will need this again eventually, so I'm glad that the #maintainathon gave me the push.

  25. @poweredbylemonx
    The Northman 2022:

    Uses Elder #Futhark–style #runes carved and inscribed correctly.

    Runes appear in initiation rites, oaths, fate-marking, and protective contexts.

    Magic is portrayed as ritual consciousness and alignment with destiny, not fireworks.

    It closely aligned with what we’d call pre-Christian Northern ritual practice rather than fantasy magic:
    ✔ Positive magic as identity formation, courage, remembrance, and fate-binding
    ✔ No sensationalism
    ✔ Deeply respectful tone

  30. Ok, so there is a journal dedicated to Futhark "Futhark: International Journal of Runic Studies", which is exciting, but i have to express a little disappointment that the dominant script of this journal is in fact Latin, not Futhark.
