@npub1z8r…mrq6
There's an ambiguity in your latest newsletter where you say you "row" every morning: do you mean you row ashore, or are you saying you row as a couple? (I'm hoping the former...)

There's one ISP that's actually here on Fedi, which might be helpful for customer support? They're called something like Andrews internet or something...?

One thing that's been making me wary of NNCP is that it's only implemented in Go, thus reliant on the Google infrastructure: ideally it would have no dependencies and written in a more standardised language?

Can you delete existing Forth functions to save resources though, or do you have to reset the whole machine and just not load them next time?

Hmm. Could you run #CollapseOS on #subleq then?

Am I understanding this correctly? In the #uxn code: `EQU ?{LIT 01}`, 01 is only pushed if EQU evaluates to false? It seems counterintuitive...

Also covering the various migrations, such as when all the Scottish pro-independence people turned up, shortly followed by all the Indian Muslims, both of which were not long after the birdsite app devs started to trickle in (I don't know about earlier than that as I joined in that 2018 migration because of wanting to keep up with posts from @npub1wdd…3nue).

That was about when we got Internet, yup. BT Click Free (Free because there was no additional contract, you just paid extra for the phone bills. We put the number on our "favourite calls" list that's meant to be used for friends and family for an additional discount).

That typeface looks like it's from a BBC Master. I thus presume this is from the Domesday project? (I haven't clicked the link yet, I presume the answer's there, but I wanted to make a prediction before clicking).

"The two stacks are circular, to pop an empty stack does not trigger an error, but merely means to set the stack pointer to 255": this wasn't true for uxn32 last time I used it - is it a new clarification or was that a bug?

Thanks for all the hard work on these docs: they're much better! I never know how to pronounce "uxntal": I've been using either "U.X.N. tahl" or "ux-n tahl". A pronunciation guide would be a welcome addition...

Ah, OK. Thanks. It's just the bit at the top of the page implies that it's just replaced with the raw return address, not a JSI and return. Thanks for the clarification!

2025-03-02 01:32:38 UTC

@npub1z8r…mrq6 I assume in uxntal lambdas, if execution reaches an opening curly, it's treated as some form of JMIk (not that that seems to exist?), based on the data structures example in https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal_lambdas.html , though it's not explicitly stated anywhere. Could you confirm or explain what I'm misunderstanding (and ideally put it in the documentation)? Thanks.

They don't have to, of course. With the Online Safety Act and its ilk, all online platforms (fedi, forums, chat apps, etc.) are in contravention and they can simply selectively enforce the law against anyone they don't like...

It just hit me that following someone from #snac is a little easier than from #Mastodon (for people not on your timeline) because the user ops just has a textbox and a "follow" button rather than having to search for their username and server, *then* open their profile and only *then* click follow. That's 2-3 button mouse-clicks for Mastodon compared with 1 for snac!
