90s HP 200LX (80186 1MB RAM) + open source hardware #MNT Pocket Reform. I’m glad someone is still thinking of this form factor: very small but still usable for software development. #retrocomputing #retro #opensource #hardware
Technology sucks now because it's become almost purely a vehicle for parting investors from their capital and nothing else
Tinylisp language written in the 2020s, compiled and running on a 90s pocket computer. Now this computer can run any software I write in Lisp (until runs out of memory). #vintagecomputer #retro #lisp #opensource #software
The programming language of the gods running on a 90s calculator, thanks to the tinylisp project #lisp #vintagecomputer #retro #programming #retrocomputer
Wonderful lecture series from the 80s on the Lisp language, and how to think about programming and computer science at a fundamental level. https://youtu.be/-J_xL4IGhJA?is=1ofuZ_E1lEz5Hqf1

The same conclusion I’d come to.

I made this app because there was no free ambient nature sound app, and I wanted one to help me sleep. And then it became a hobby to go out and record the sounds. You really notice that human noise pollution is almost everywhere when you try to take nature recordings. The app is called “Chill Soundscapes” in the App Store. You can also disable the spinnt carousel animation and use accessible controls. #appdevelopment #swift #ios #audio #nature #recording
I finally got a machine with a disk drive, so I can run my old programming demos from when I was a teenager. Here’s an x86 real-mode 0x13 voxel landscape engine written in assembly and C, running on a 486 laptop. #retrocomputing #programming #c #assemblylanguage #software
I wanted an emergency computer to take traveling: enough to run dev servers and ssh, without needing to drag a laptop around. I had an old #raspberrypi lying around, and bought the new Raspi Display 2 which has a great resolution. 3D printed case from filament I found in the street. Small 12e wireless keyboard is surprisingly usable. Getting SD Card encryption running was the hardest thing. Worked out way cheaper than the other options.
