But in good news, I made a change to the quotations implementation in #retro #forth that makes them slightly faster (by one fetch/decode/process cycle) and smaller (reducing the image size by about 2%).

We are very shorthanded at #work today. Currently down to four people in the office & counter (50% down). And two of those are leaving in about two hours, so I expect the last 1.5 hours of the day to be miserable.

Lunchtime (later than normal - it's going to be another very long day).

Finishing up a few small changes to #retro #forth. I have reduced the image size by 1K cells, and remove the hard coded limitations on the size of the rotating buffer for temporary strings.

@vertigo I wish that worked for me. As is typical for me, I'm less tired now than I was when I posted that. If the night goes as expected it'll be 4 or 5 am before I actually manage to sleep (Not for lack of trying - I just can't sleep. Then I get up at 6-6:30.

I suspect I'd do better if I could start my day a few hours later, but that's not an option currently.

A bit over an hour left in the workday. I'm exhausted and have no motivation today :(

@vertigo That seems reasonible. I don't limit symbol length in Retro, but a quick check of the kernel & standard library shows an average length of 7 characters, with 26 longer than 12 characters, and 7 longer than 16. (The two longest names are 20 symbols).

@vertigo I'll look into that, I hadn't heard of it before.

Work related coding went well today: the legacy PHP part of the code I'm working on at work is down to 2197 lines; it was 3314 when I started.

Nearly done work for the day. Then heading to my parents for my youngest son's 6th birthday party.

@mpts it's an implementation of the Forth programming language that I've been developing and supporting for over 15 years. I use it for a lot of my personal projects and in some custom applications for my employer. See http://forthworks.com/retro

Pretty good evening. I've finished a long-planned update of the standard #retro #forth interface sources, removing some fragile build scripts and one-off tools that were previously needed. Now to return to work on new samples and continue improving documentation.

@zer0her0 @ericvonfoerster interesting. That seems like a really bad design flaw.

I might have to look into writing a proper Mastodon client when I get spare time...
