SDF is 35 this month, and I found the right blend of nostalgia to celebrate!

This is not my SDF account. A long time ago, I had a basic account. I was 13 (or 14?). I probably couldn't afford the lifetime ARPA membership (if that even was a thing back then, I no longer recall) -- it wasn't a factor because this was back when sending and receiving money internationally was still pretty hard so...

I definitely couldn't afford a fast computer. I didn't even have *my own* computer (1/n)

I wired the brick up as a very small external monitor, so you can, for instance, play Doom on it.

this is the end of this meme

damn it's hard to caption a meme

I've been considering what it would take to make a useful, single user, Lisp operating system. It seems like all that's really needed is an interpreter which persists long-lived environments (I'm using this word how Scheme uses it) to the disk, so they can be removed from memory, and be copied back into memory when accessed later.

If you make this interpreter PID 1 on a Unix-like kernel, you've really just created a Lisp OS. Instead of creating files for storing data, you just declare variables. If you want to have multiple variables with the same name, just create them in different environments (similar to creating files with the same names in different directories).

I took a stab at writing a Lisp interpreter a few years ago. I got something that would apply some built in operators (basically just arithmetic), but didn't get very far. I think now that I actually understand Lisp more, I want to try doing this, and play around with using it as PID 1 on Linux or other Unix-like kernels.

I was really depressed for the last two days because I left my ring on the lawn and the crows stole it BC shiny. It's irreplaceable and Akkas gave it to me two years ago so I was devastated. I dredged the pond and used a metal detector all over the lawn but it was gone. But today I cooked the crows bacon in the morning and this afternoon it was returned RIGHT WHERE I LEFT THE BACON!!!!!

I have to consume materials about the modern cryptocurrency space and related stuff. There are so many layers of rage I have. The latest: techbro x cryptobro -- sending shit to space to generate private keys.

You can't predict everything.

If `Maybe a` is `Just a` or `Nothing`, then Erlang's `ok` or `{error, Reason}` should be called `Surely`.

I was searching for a way to make work with `direnv` again, but found an amazing project ran by a Ukrainian haskeller.
