To put this in perspective, this laptop is * probably * about as powerful as my Spectrum Next. The Next can be clocked up to 28Mhz, but is Z80 not 386, so it's a bit like comparing apples and pears.
I will however need to face my nemesis (CSS) later as I attempt to craft the emulator web page.
Bit of sneaky coding last night. Figured out how to call C++ functions from JavaScript in Emscripten. Again, very straightforward. So should be able to add some basic controls to the emulator. Like selecting tape image, reset, and so on.
Pyjamarama conversion for Acorn Electron 48K (WIP). With about 200 free bytes left, my conversion is 98% done. I only need to add sound effects, the title screen tune, maybe some alternate control keys and playtest on different emulators and a real Elk. Used every trick to cram it in!
🔊 Release v1.0 of Pyjamarama for Acorn Electron 48K (converted from ZX Spectrum 48K). Best experience is on a real Electron (with 16K SWRAM) or in my Electroniq emulator. ☕ Buy me a coffee if you like my work ko-fi.com/0xc0de 🕹️ More info and tape/disk images on github.com/0xC0DE6502/p...
Loving my new @compiler-explorer.com desk topper! Really nice quality and a huge improvement on my old IKEA one that had seen better days 😅 Thanks, @matt.godbolt.org and team!
"The problem with using AI is that it is sycophantic and unoriginal. It only tells you what you want to hear, shutting off your brain" she copy-pasted into the replies for the 8th time today, having read it once in a highly upvoted meme on r/aiHaters 3 years ago.
i hope that when i am cancelled for something innocuous that there will also be a group of knitters insisting that they had known i was a bad person for years beforehand
Stop calling them "data centers." Start calling them Glonzo centers. 🧵👇
YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.
VOLITION - Any plan to call him Pinball or Kimball is immediately wiped from your neocortex, as if with some sort of mind altering device. It is simply not going to happen.
ACELE - Ah! No. This is a *contact microphone*, it's for recording *inside* solid objects. Contact Mike just beats people up.

Hi! In July I'm once again running a free online program for K-12 math teachers called "21st century mathematics". Its goal is to help teachers to connect math they teach with some math that has been discovered in the 21st century. Pass it along! Info+register: justinlanier.org/21st-century...
