It is written in a programming language I made, called Slang. I had to write the compiler for it, and I have my own stdlib and emulator to run the compiled code.
I am quite happy so far; it's a bit of a dream.

#SubSky #CPU #ISA

Working on a novel (hopefully!) floating-point format for my custom CPU #ISA . It doesn't have any floating point operations -- as a matter of fact, it only has 16 operations ("instructions") -- but I'm working on a floating-point format optimized for software emulation on it.
That said, I already have in my stdlib macros for fixed-point #math (Q16.8 format), as well as a sine function and sqrt function.

Lemmy: a missed opportunity to call a Fedi reddit Feddit.
#Reddit

That said, I'm finally gonna be more active on Fedi. Being able to stream out into the Internet like this is going to really enable me. #Fediverse #musings

Being able to just run out my thoughts and musings onto the Internet like this is really amazing. (From the command line via `toot` -- I don't need to spin up a whole Web browser to do it!) #SmallComputing

Either way, I'll take that advice and just rm this config file.......

Sometimes on #Linux I'll have a trash/ folder in my /root/ directory.
However, on some of my systems, I find that they're symlinks to /dev/null... was past me telling future me something about hoarding ..? Lol. #Unix

I need to learn how to use #vim.

And to top it off, I composed this post on the command-line with `toot` >:]

To be fair to GNOME though, my setup wasn't perfectly stock, though GNOME tends to be a bit unreliable anyway... *but*, to be fair, I also had to compose my post twice due to toot discarding my message with an error since it was longer than 500 characters. So now that I'm back to being a "hacker", I now need to deal with those sort of problems :)

I finally reinstalled Sway #swaywm on my system. After having recessed into normal UIs for so long (no offense to "normal UI" users, just not made for me!), I'm finally back 😎
I find it so funny that after reinstalling sway, I didn't even need to close GNOME, it just crashed the next time I woke my computer up.

#Unix #hacker

@tinker Typical #Microsoft :|

@Mr_Teatime @david_chisnall
This is like ruling that pi = 3, as we already have a definition of pi (how many diameters long a circle is) which is my point.

I'll read the article nonetheless, once I'm not in the middle of finals week :)

@ahltorp Oh. I disagree with homosexuality on moral grounds, as I believe God the creator is strongly against it, but that doesn't make it a deformity or biological error.
(Before you inevitably accuse me of hate or whatever, I do not hate homosexuals, I hate homosexuality. I can get along with homosexuals and/or people I disagree with, and still love them. Disagreement with person ≠ hate of person.)

@0xabad1dea What the

@CenturyAvocado I've had that same problem with GIMP, actually. You'd think it would be a basic tool or something....
