Rust combines the elegance of C++ with the conciseness of Javascript.

a shadow in the wall
in other news, in a ~stunning~ case of misappropriation, i finally labeled my PiDP-8.
apologies to @inversephase. i promise, the rest of the sticker will go on an 8-bitter. :)
Quietly working on the #c64 assembler, I integrated some small utilities, notably HEXDUMP. Which by complete coincidence yielded this most #cyberpunk of (literal) screenshots.
I'll post source code at some point, but for now you'll have to log onto an actual #BBS to get it. (!)

Screen shows a simplistic "assembler" I made out of plain BASIC. It does little more than translating mnemonics into opcodes, but it does that!
Fun fact: The computer table is my 1992 original. :)
(Never owned a C64 as a kid, so this is all new to me! :D)
Thalia ArchibaldUtah computer history: This IBM 7030 at the Computer History Museum is from the BYU physics department, used from 1972 to 1982. It features a 64-bit processor, well ahead of its time at its 1961 release, and was IBM's first transistorized computer. Only 9 were made. Before this machine's use at BYU, it was used at MITRE Corporation from 1962.

got the rotated text done yesterday. bah, it was difficult! and I don't even really know why. it's not a standard feature of #troff, so one has to inject some raw postscript in there. this should all be simple, but aww, there were some weird interactions. yet i made it, it works, so there.
also did the proof-reading on these latest parts, found a few small mistakes. i still need to do one (easier) table, and then i'm done with the first major part of the chapter, ca. 50 pages, 40%.
i think i'll actually print that out and try binding it into a booklet, as a trial.

I'm fundraising for my incredibly cool femme/queer electronics camp that's holding on by bloodied teeth this year. Find it in my bio.
BUT ALSO we take supplies. Specific stuff. We need:
-Wire cutters (not nippers!). We clean rust
-Nice-ish Raspberry Pis, mini computers, larger external hard drives and accessories. We teach about Kiwix, cyberdecks and more
-Meshtastic hardware
-Art PCBs (best by femmes/queers) for our pop-up museum
-Lockpick gun and practice padlocks
DM me.
