Dusted off my silly lil text editor UwU and started working through the backlog of borked things and move it to a more usable state. Don't want to admit how long it took to figure out handling unicode emojos in C to center multiple lines overlay text in welcome message (prev was a single line). ​​

Also made a cute lil 88x31 banner for my blog to replace the "Made with NeoVim" banner. NeoVim is for suits. ​​ /j

I'm doing some bare metal AVR (8 bit MCU) in #oberon (using an Oberon to C transpiler and hand coded register addresses from spec docs) as well as some (BSD/Linux/MacOSX) server side companion (over serial USB) to the AVR.

I would normally do this in #C99 (or believe it or not #Ada) but Oberon is forcing me to think about what I want to do vs figuring out compiler/language tricks to optimize what I want to do.

For example -- I have a simple comms protocol full of little endian values.

In C (or even in Ada) I would be tempted to slam a packed little endian oriented data structure over top of a transferred binary blob and call that a protocol vs having to explicitly byte by byte walk the data... I C I can do this easily. In Ada I can tell the compiler the endianness I want and it magically does the translation.

Oberon simply doesn't have the facility for such optimization tricks.

And you know? I feel more like I'm writing elegant code than "hacks" that need copious documentation.

NetHack 5.0.0: Release Notes

Alfonso I. MartinezMar 7

Just pushed pset004.c into my Euler Repo.

No. Not happy with the palindrome solution I came up with. 4-digit numbers onwards get pretty heavy for the computer.

But I refuse to ask an AI to teach me algorithms. I'd rather eat my own left foot than ask for a O(n) solution.

Currently battling against Project Euler's pset004 in #C.

How come a simple function that reverses a 6-digit number to check whether it is a playndrome (O(n)) can furiously turn into a massive resource waster when digits increase?

Unfortunately, my most feared enemy, the pointer, will save me on this one.
