See this is why surveillance advertising is bullshit

You need these moments of serendipity that can only come from showing an ad to as many people as possible, COMPLETELY at random

like how the hell else are you gonna find people who are not yet aware, and would never have guessed, that they would like to know more about slime corn

what fucking google algorithm could possibly decide to put that ad in front of as many curious eyeballs as I just did

Hahaha which one of you submitted this one

Like it made me laugh with its wide-eyed eager absurdity but also this is genuinely a textbook example of a Great Ad

If you click on this ad then it goes to a small Neocities webpage at https://jo-chestnut.neocities.org/nitrogen-fixing-corn that enthusiastically tells you about corn

this is fucking PEAK INTERNET

@Soblow I absolutely love Femtanyl omg. this is the first time I’ve seen anyone mention them

the reason why I’m proud of special forms being their own datatype (instead of essentially just being special cases for the interpreter) is because in Fennel you can’t do (reduce + list) because + is a special form, so you can’t (eval '+) but in kaslisp you can

lisp doll that stims by saying (cadadadar)

I had to rethink how I was approaching namespaces in order to implement the (lambda) special form in kaslisp, but I now have an untested prototype of (lambda)!

one thing that I’m kinda proud of is that you can do stuff like this with special forms in kaslisp:

(set λ lambda)

(λ (x y) (+ x y))

(I haven’t created set or + yet but you get the idea I hope)

the “function” that is run in a special form can be treated like any other function: in fact it’s a datatype that I call a “special function” for lack of a better term. it’s literally just a function that automatically quotes its arguments and is allowed to do weird things with the interpreter if it wants

also, in kaslisp you can add an arbitrary number of as and ds to a function call like (caaaddddaaaaadddaaaddaar) lol. and what you will get will be another special function!

there is an increasingly common complaint against video games that I just don’t understand at all: a lackluster post-game

like… what am I supposed to get from that? you finished the game, and you’re upset there isn’t more? so did you like the game or not?

Vim has always been charityware. Any money that was donated to the project went to ICCF Holand, an organization that helps marginalized children in Uganda.

Sadly, 2 years after Bram's passing, this charity will be dissolved. Future donations will be sent to a different charity called Kuwasha: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/pUNbNXBLbKw

Bram's work over the years has done much good for disadvantaged communities. Whether you use Vim or Neovim, consider following their original creator's example in whatever way you can.

I liked Alien: Rogue Incursion so much that I played it again on a higher difficulty and 100%ed it. amazing game*

Everyone's a descriptivist until Grice's maxims start getting flouted.

My friends bullied me into making an aztec/qr code barcode fusion.... yes both decode correct!

yess (cond) is working in kaslisp! this is the most complex special form I’ve implemented yet

wow so it looks like “demon, devil, succubus, incubus, etc.” won by just one vote! I guess y’all are into infernal beings, and I don’t blame you 💙

let’s narrow it down more, though. just like before, imagine that this being is whatever gender you’d prefer. which of these would make the best partner?

after this we’ll do personality, and then maybe appearance

@1 omgg I did a double-take lol I was like “yayy 17921 boosted my poll!” I love this costume idea

but anyway, hmmm… is 17921 demon-like, or just daemon-like? it does have a spaded tail IIRC. I might be wrong but I think that it is probably much more AI than it is demon, so I would put it in the “artificial (android, robot, replicant, space station AI, cyborg, etc.)” category instead from what I understand
