The HAWP website appears to have been breached by some casino spammers. Of course, the contact page doesn't work, and the twitter handles on the page are mostly down. Ah well, hopefully they'll figure it out eventually.
@avia Only over the mountain from me. https://youtu.be/_Ph7OR6C90w there was a pilot on their first solo flight following behind who observed the whole thing.
@yesbait @fribbledom Yeah, Planet Computers makes a few devices like this, including the Cosmo Communicator. https://planetcom.squarespace.com/device TCL also made some of these with keyboards under the Blackberry name.
@fribbledom I use a desk designed for racing sim games. Not because I play those games, but because that was the best way to get a keyboard tray that put the keyboard at the right level to be comfortable for me. My last ergonomic keyboard tray that attaches to my chair was junk. I bought two of them and both broke in the exact same way. I don't like using the racing chair. I'm actually looking into putting a more comfortable car seat in the place of the racing one.
@joe @fribbledom Patents for relaying a remote control signal through a network then broadcasting it via IR?
@joe @fribbledom I'm not saying use logitech devices. I'm saying make alternatives that are open source that do the same types of things.
@stuff Yeah, but when I was setting up my Jekyll theme I didn't setup any pagination. I need to learn enough Jekyll to build that properly.
https://10kbclub.com/ Unfortunately, my blog's homepage is about 19k compressed... Mostly because I have a link to every article I've ever posted on it on the home page.
@joe @fribbledom Just have to do the same thing with the IR remote space that everyone did with the RSS Reader space when google reader shut down. (Feedly, Newsblur, etc sprouting up.)
@requiem http://tvision.sourceforge.net/ The library used to make those was open sourced.
@kelbot @requiem MSX was an open platform though and not a Sony thing, a bit like Dos. There were over a dozen manufacturers of MSX compatible hardware. Of course, the vast majority of other 8-bit computers also used Microsoft's basic interpreter as well, so even before dos they kind of had the home computer market nailed down.
re: hot take
@thamesynne @requiem I've encountered more than one library that basically makes it impossible to statically link the library, at least without extensive modification. I can't remember which ones they were at the moment, but it was annoying at the time.
@fribbledom Yes, I played that one quite a bit. Not much on multiplayer though. Apogee had quite a lot of those under appreciated games. I really liked Raptor as well.
@requiem @vertigo I like that he made his own processor, and it makes a very good reference implementation, but I want to get back to playing with it on other available hardware. (Teensy 4.x, ESP32, Risc-V, and maybe using Gameduino Dazzler for graphics.) Lots of stuff to learn about the systems and compilers first though.
@requiem @vertigo I'm mostly interested in its self-hosting nature on low end hardware, the ability to develop on a 25mhz 1mb system for itself is something you can't really do with the Arduino toolkits, Rust, GCC, etc. Even Micropython, though you can develop code for it without a separate system, can't compile micropython itself self-hosted. Forth's the same way though.
https://p9f.org/ This is interesting, they've spun this off from Bell labs. I should probably actually set a couple systems up with plan9 so I can test it as a network os...
