More autistic representation where we aren't jerks please

Trying to write some little programs with Comfy-RV now that it works well enough. Here, a program that just displays all its arguments, including its own name.
#theWorkshop #riscv #lisp #assembly

Fixed a bunch of problems in the generation of jump instructions in Comfy-RV this morning, phiew…
I also have a call, tail-call and return macros that work now. 😁
#theWorkshop #riscv #lisp #assembly

Big ball of #scheme.

This visualizes dependencies between sample implementations in SRFIs obtained by grepping the Git repositories for `(srfi [0-9]+)` and cleaning up false positives. Some not so serious insights (the data is most certainly biased and incorrect):

- Only SRFIs above 100 have sample implementations relying on other SRFIs
- SRFI-146, SRFI-165 and SRFI-207 have the most dependencies (still less than npm packages though)
- SRFI-1, SRFI-145 and SRFI-151 are most depended on
- Some SRFIs are dependency islands, suggesting that they form libraries on top of each other

This leads to a contempt for the past. Too much of what was created in the last fifty years is gone because no one took care to preserve it.

Today I implemented the alt (similar to || in C), while and if operators in Comfy-RV #riscv #lisp #assembly #theWorkshop

I really love how everything is so simple to write with explicit continuations (the last two arguments of the `compile` procedure: win and lose). And De Morgan’s law to implement alt as a composition of the existing seq (&&) and not. As a bonus, the code generated by this is the most optimal one.

Toujours sur les fromages, j’ai testé quelque chose récemment. Sur les premières tentatives de camemberts, ceux qui n’avaient pas de croûte, j’en ai fait fumer. Ça donne ça, en coupe. Malheureusement, j’avais laissé affiner trop longtemps, et ce n’était pas aussi bon que ce que j’aurais voulu. Mais je pense qu’il y a quelque chose à développer par là.

Spent about 18 hours this week working on my COMFY-RV project, an assembly-like language for RISC-V embedded in Lisp inspired by Henry Baker’s design.
I haven’t done much with it yet, but doing low-level programming really is relaxing for me.

(example code in the screenshot is just a program that writes back what it reads on standard input)

Feeling productive today! Have sorted out the basic layout of the switches of my #keyboard in #kicad. How lovely that KiCad saves the files as plain text and by writing some code I have all the switches and their angles exactly how I want them!

Huge thanks to @Kooda for the inspiration to try something like this and for sharing the KiCad files so I could get started so easily.

Next step is to start connecting the switches and LEDs. Will putting an LED under each switch prove to be a nightmare?

"We moved to GitHub because everyone's already there"

"We shut down the mailing lists because most of our users prefer to use GitLab in their web browser"

"We're rewriting in Rust because we don't really have any non-x86_64 users"

"We're leaving IRC because Discord is more user-friendly"

What all of these arguments have in common is that they exclude people, centralize infrastructure, and eschew free software for proprietary solutions, all in the name of some ill-defined measure of "progress".

all MNT Reform batch 1 PCBs have been uploaded to the PCBWay system, and all case parts are in production. From here it's mostly management, buying, assembly, fine-tuning of firmware and software, handbook, packaging and shipping.
