You didn't mix up INC and INC2
You made sure to flip your conditions before refactoring code into a conditional lambda
You cleaned up the return stack before using JMP2r
You are not passing variables on the stack between vector calls
You're using relative pointers imminently after pushing them onto the stack
You are having fun

JCVI-syn3A, a synthetic cell with 493 genes (452 protein-coding; 41 RNA), is the simplest free living organism known. ~80% of the protein-coding genes are functionally annotated, but we still don’t know what the other 20% do (except that removing any of them makes it unviable). There’s also a whole-cell kinetic model for ~98% of the enzymatic reactions in the cell.

This is the real frontier of artificial life, not masses of linear algebra over a text model…

"The season of the Smoke Moon drifts from Tiliard’s roots upward. It rises from the shores of the Catoptric, the pipework of rhizomes and limestone where falling pebbles spark like flint in the reeds. Green witch-flames burp to life on the water’s surface, both guideposts and hazards to passing riverboats. A blanket of black cloud rolls in from the fields as farmers light the harvest’s detritus."

other "tech nerds': oh this new model is so cool, it gives such great results!

yesterday a fellow ex tech worker came up to me at the cafe while i was working on ryudov2 and we started chatting, and we shared this kind of feeling that you have to identify oppression in your life directly and be open enough to the risks to say "fuck no"

i had the additional observation that as someone who had a meteoric rise in my career, transitioned, and then went into poverty while the world falls apart around me, i have a very different relationship to risk, truth, and fulfillment than most, and for example working at the co op i see people of all ages just accepting the oppression of these low wages and gruelling hours while management gets a living wage and plenty of time off and nobody even THINKS to hold the board accountable- i suggested a strike one time and they thought i was joking...

here's a report I wrote in which I rant about my time at a transgender activism conference while slowly losing my mind

so status update:

• throwing down for pretty important work on g wagon's brakes (last piece of work she needs before she's ready for a full travel season)
• clearing out the house to move out
• hanging on at the co op for as long as i can- best hours adjustment i can get is 4 days a week and not instantly, so its just a tipping point type thing now where im holding out till i feel i can safely quit (and i was going to leave for the west coast to make some important visits happen in october anyway)
• with the move, time theft and exhaustion my art and dev work is slow but never stopped, i have some exciting stuff in the pipeline on all 3 fronts (software, visual, and dj stuff)

few things feel as much like "coming home" as waking up in a steel and glass box on wheels thinking about how i need to try the new esolang

peanut butter and... mango? sandwich

is actually really yummy

anyone who tells you that linux is easy is lying. it’s not easy. it’s complex, sometimes arcane, and comes with very real trade-offs.

what i hope they’re actually trying to communicate is that the trade-offs and complexity can be worth it.

what i want to say is that linux (broadly) is imperfect and infuriating, but also far more free, in very material ways, than anything from a corporate os or platform. it is learnable, and in learning you make the tool you already physically own into something more wholly your own. you will understand it, keep it running, and be able focus on doing the things you actually want to do with it. not as an appliance, but as a tool that you shape into something that meets your needs, not the needs of the corporate owners or the millions of eulas and terms we’ve all agreed to.

your computer can actually work for you, in a way you like, setup for the things it can help you do in your life.

it is not utopian, it has a lot of deep problems in every direction. you will be angry at it. but aren’t you already angry? so far i prefer the trade offs and frustrations of the broad linux world over the more or less helpless rage i feel for apple/ms/google.

Futurism: It Appears That the US Military Accidentally Killed Everybody on Board a Civilian Medevac Flight in New Mexico
"When those lights go out, man, you know you are in big trouble."

"...New bombshell reporting by Wired reveals an incident in which the testing of an experimental GPS jammer resulted in a medical plane crashing into the side of a mountain.

The horrifying incident happened in May, the publication reports, when a small twin-engine medevac aircraft carrying two pilots and two medical workers departed from Roswell, New Mexico. Heading West for the small mountain village of Ruidoso, the crew became the victim of an electronic warfare exercise being conducted at the nearby White Sands Missile Range, a test which rendered their navigational system inoperable...."

Starving millions of Americans to death isn't an unfortunate side effect of GOP economics; it's the intended outcome.

They're trying to "accelerate" societal collapse & violence so they can establish a white ethnostate.

News outlets like @NPR fail us when they overlook this fact.

I sell Libreboot, and Libreboot accessories: https://minifree.org/

I'm having a discount sale since late July. Discount ends in September. Prices are lower than usual. Also: shiny new website theme. ALSO: Libreboot X280 launched recently.

I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer; sales fund the project. These computers come with Libreboot preinstalled, which replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware. Libreboot offers far greater security and freedom to the user compared to proprietary firmware, removing or disabling certain malicious features (e.g. disabling Intel ME).

Libreboot gives you freedom. It's the same argument as using, say, Linux instead of Windows. Libreboot gives you control.

Your choice of Debian Linux, other Linux distro or a BSD

Libreboot is a special distro of coreboot (like how Debian is a Linux distro) that provides nicer features for ease of use, focusing on non-technical users, while also being highly configurable for experts.

Send-in service also available

in case anyone was wondering how easy it is to deploy a service update with #dollctl

you make a tarball with your executable and accompanying files
you navigate to your host in the sigil UI and click the "sv" tab
you click on the service you're deploying
you upload the tarball

once the upload is complete the service is unpacked, linked, and started in the background automatically

oh wow i finally figured out why the websocket connection lifetime on underbbs was so weird. the conn.CloseRead(ctx) call makes sure that the context cancels when the websocket disconnects even though the HTTPHandlerFunc hasn't returned yet!

still in awe that a manager at a small local MSP told me this week that my 8 years of professional IT industry experience were immaterial to lv 2 technician position because i have never worked in an MSP before.
