Ok @skyfaller @stumblewyk where are we on my shitty idea:

Assembly language but for RPG magic systems.

@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller @stumblewyk Ok so for all of these cool ideas we need tooling. What about a crappy web IDE with some syntax highlighting and a semi-decent mechanism for error reporting?

That would be easy if/when I get the parser working properly because it's a tree-sitter implementation. You get syntax highlighting and such for free.

Furthermore I am considering a standard library (the Grimoire) with some basic utilities in there. Think it's time for a repo on GitHub yet?

@jeffw nice to see some action even if it’s not for the right reasons. I feel like letting the violence and antisemitism slide is troubling.

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller I don’t know who suggested letting a mismanaged war with an unacceptable human cost slide. The rhetoric from protesters has been more antisemitic than pro-anything. Certainly not pro-peace, as I believe folks when they say things like “globalize the intifada” which is defintionally a call to murder Jews.

The Penn protests seem tamer than Columbia and UCLA, where Jews have been physically barred from dorms and classes. Glad to see Brown resolving things with a deal for example.

@Ashyr sorry I am not familiar with Lemmy. Is this significance of that as damning as it would be on other platforms?

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller sorry that’s not true. There aren’t many Jewish sources. I know this because like 90% of my fellow Jews worldwide, the recreation of the Jewish state in our ancestral homeland is an essential component of my Judaism.

The 10% being tokenized speak only for themselves, though they are no less Jewish for their publicly embarrassing behavior.

Criticising Israel is an indoor sport for Jews. We do it ALL the time. But calling for Israel’s destruction? No. That’s antisemitism.

@thesporkeffect Sorry, I'm not equipped to handle willful blindness and bad faith questions. Take it easy.

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@DarkNightoftheSoul thanks for your input. The protestors carrying swastikas and graffiti indicating support for literal genocide and the destruction of the Jewish state speaks for itself. So do the morally inverted accusations of genocide, tokenizing of Jews holding minority views, and casually swapping out “Jew” for “Zionist”.

If anyone doesn’t want to look the realities in the face, I’m not able to help them.

Again, thanks for your input.

@DarkNightoftheSoul The Hamas charter specifically and transparently states that their mission is to kill all Jews anywhere on the planet. I encourage you to go read their charter and believe them when they say such things.

As for the protests, this article outlines a specific Penn incident. https://whyy.org/articles/penns-interim-president-warns-campus-protestors/

You may also wish to look at other campus protests where signs have included the language of "Final Solution" and depicted Jewish stars going into trashcans.

How could you not see?

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@DarkNightoftheSoul It may be a misunderstanding, but the misunderstanding seems willful.

  1. Israel did not create terrorism. An Egyptian man named Yasser Arafat is properly the godfather of Palestinian violence. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo.

  2. I don't know what agreement you mean. Substituting the word "Zionist" for "Jew" is cheap, common misdirection to give antisemitism the gloss of neutrality.

I'm going to make this my last response. I hope you find peace.

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@DarkNightoftheSoul From the bottom of my heart and the core of my marrow, I genuinely hope you find peace.

Suppose you had to produce a local computer from scratch, completely independent from existing manufacturers like Intel. (If you need a specific location for this hypothetical, let's say Greater Philadelphia.) No chip fabs in China, Taiwan etc. The tech level and computing power doesn't matter, you can tailor the application to the power of the computer; indie local production is top priority.

What is the best approach? A simple conventional silicon chip? Vacuum tubes? Analog? Mechanical?

@skyfaller if I got to pick it would be biocomputing. Maybe algal? Just a tank of cell colonies doing math and powered by sunlight, fresh water, and nutrient broth. Need more processing or storage power? Split the colony into two tanks and grow some more.

I wish.

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller I also don’t know enough, but let’s say you’re right and chemical reactions are the key. Then our next job is to frame other problems in those terms so that they might be computed in this manner. I am reminded of the molecular and chemical computing models Luca Cardelli worked on awhile back. Does any of this stuff feel related to you? http://lucacardelli.name/

Does anyone in the Philly or greater Philly area know how to get their hands on one of the new blight-resistant American trees? Sapling preferred but would be willing to take seed if no other option.

Gladly willing to pay to support the reintroduction of the native species, especially because I wish to plant one on my property. Have two friends who might also be interested!

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller Thanks, this is terrific. Also found these folks who have tons of resources!

https://tacf.org/

I am really interested in helping to reintroduce native species to PA, and that starts in my own yard. Science is wonderful!

Was there an just now in ?

@skyfaller I believe so. I was going to post about it. I felt it here and friends towns over also felt it.

Every so often I think it would be worth it to build a friends-only file sharing network. Has applications beyond sharing music/movies/etc. especially in high-surveillance and censorship-heavy environments.

Then I wonder if I would just end up rebuilding Syncthing or Tahoe-LAFS. So I don’t do it.

Is this a mistake? Should I build it?

yonkeltron,
@yonkeltron@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller @yonkeltron if you’re serious, maybe I should be more serious also.

@skyfaller @yonkeltron I started sketches out some code tonight. I have thoughts.
