Hi, I'm Juan π
I was looking for a Masto instance I could trust and I thought SDF (in operation since 1987) is the type of commitment I like π
(also have an account in SDF-EU, although I haven't used it much so far)
I've been hosting my own email and web since 2003, so what I'm looking for is more the community aspect of SDF/tildeverse.
I do retro-gamedev (ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX and Commodore 64), and other types of "dev" in #Scala, #Python, #C, #Z80, and #Go.
What a mess is the static version of https://wiki.c2.com/ ...
It is using a Federated Wiki IIRC, but the issue is the UI. Or may be it feels as alien as the original wiki idea felt to people back then.
Does anybody know a mirror that is sensible to use? Archive org has the wayback machine, but it is kind of slow.
As part of not knowing what I'm doing and learning by "doing things my way" (did I say I don't know what I'm doing?), turns out I was making a significant mistake in the interpreter.
I have fixed that, but the language is still slow; which is expected as is a tree-walk interpreter.
Tried another implementation of lox built using the book and Go, and my version seems to be a little faster. So looks like I'm getting there!
Watched EP02 last night, and the waiting keeps the same tone. It's a shame because now that we are paying attention, is too obvious (and annoying).
May be Discovery was like this all the time, or we didn't notice until late. Or the writing changed. Either way, same issue.
Well, those are practically for loops thanks to the tail call optimization.
Call a function passing a parameter from n to m and if the function returns false, end the loop (a break).
Return true early in the function being called, and that's a continue.
