2021-06-30 14:59:31 <crc         > Pretty good
2021-06-30 15:01:48 <crc         > I'm adapting to a new work schedule (now 5am to 2pm), so I have considerably more time in the afternoon & evening now

2021-06-30 15:04:21 <eli_oat     > I always wanna start real early to quit sooner, but my kids don't allow for that :P
2021-06-30 15:04:23 <crc         > Change at work. I get to work on inventory management for the first 2-3 hours before we open, then other tasks as needed for the remaining time
2021-06-30 15:04:51 <eli_oat     > nice
2021-06-30 15:05:03 <crc         > So far (this is day 3), it's been nice to get out much earlier

2021-06-30 15:09:46 <durrendal   > eli_oat: what bug nightmare have you been entertaining?
2021-06-30 15:10:22 <eli_oat     > a sort of significant data integrity issue triggered by a *very* delicate data import
2021-06-30 15:10:22 <durrendal   > crc: since we're in a forth related channel, any chance you're handling that inventorying in retro?
2021-06-30 15:10:27 <eli_oat     > after this, should be rock solid, though
2021-06-30 15:10:57 <crc         > durrendal: unfortunately not
2021-06-30 15:11:24 <crc         > Or at least, not entirely
2021-06-30 15:11:45 <durrendal   > not entirely means there's some forth somewhere :)
2021-06-30 15:12:02 <durrendal   > eli_oat: oof, sounds fun to debug
2021-06-30 15:12:21 <crc         > Parts (label generation, quick count reporting) use tools written in forth; but the main application we use is in Java :(
2021-06-30 15:13:18 <crc         > (I do have an order tracking/management application written mostly in forth though)
2021-06-30 15:25:05 <durrendal   > I'm just now starting to look into forth, so I love hearing you've got real world applications running, especially something that seems complex
2021-06-30 15:28:13 <john_ceph   > Yay, I finished porting impexus to rasc.
2021-06-30 15:28:37 <john_ceph   > Already pushed: https://codeberg.org/jmf/impexus
2021-06-30 15:30:50 <john_ceph   > The standard text interface (0) is implemented and works. Now that I am satisfied with the assembler, I might finally find time to also do the keyboard input code :D

2021-06-30 16:43:42 <crc         > Nicely done :)
2021-06-30 16:44:43 <crc         > I will test this tomorrow and see about porting a couple of drivers over from the my old copy of the prior implementation
2021-06-30 16:53:21 <crc         > Hello WilhelmVonWeiner
2021-06-30 16:54:50 <WilhelmVonWeiner> hey crc!
2021-06-30 16:55:02 <WilhelmVonWeiner> just got made redundant so i'm gonna write Retro in OCaml.
2021-06-30 16:55:40 <WilhelmVonWeiner> need to... relearn ocaml.
2021-06-30 17:10:23 <john_ceph   > Hi WilhelmVonWeiner
2021-06-30 17:13:36 <WilhelmVonWeiner> how are y'all?
2021-06-30 17:17:01 <crc         > I'm resting a bit (too hot to do much at the moment); John updated impexus to use his latest assembler
2021-06-30 17:23:10 <WilhelmVonWeiner> Nga is so great. Suprised the assembler isn't written in Muri....
2021-06-30 17:23:35 <john_ceph   > The assembler is written in Retro though :)
2021-06-30 17:33:28 <john_ceph   > I am trying to get the Retro listener to run in my Nga implementation but it crashes somewhere.
2021-06-30 18:03:55 <crc         > Any idea how far it gets?
2021-06-30 18:15:35 <john_ceph   > crc: Not sure yet.
2021-06-30 18:18:53 <john_ceph   > crc: It seems to poll the keyboard correctly. I am just not sure which code I have to send in order to let it process the whole line...
2021-06-30 18:23:57 <john_ceph   > I give the string "#12 n:put" followed by #10 to it through the keyboard interface, however it doesn't seem to swallow it as I would expect.
2021-06-30 18:24:54 <crc         > that should work :(
2021-06-30 18:28:23 <john_ceph   > When I write a program doing "#100 [ c:get c:put ] times", it correctly prints the string I got as keyboard input string.
2021-06-30 18:32:05 <crc         > How much memory is available for the image?
2021-06-30 18:33:04 <john_ceph   > I tell it that it has 100'000 cells.
2021-06-30 18:33:39 <john_ceph   > Actually 400'000.
2021-06-30 18:33:53 <john_ceph   > Here's my placeholder keyboard code: https://bpa.st/6VSA
2021-06-30 18:34:00 <crc         > Ok, so memory isn't an issue
2021-06-30 18:46:50 <crc         > Nothing stands out to me as incorrect in this
2021-06-30 19:05:26 <john_ceph   > Hm, I'll have to check it out properly tomorrow. Maybe some buffer lands in an area that is reserved by some x86 stuff (although it shouldn't).
