Updated the TestFlight build: better comet code and some Swift race condition stuff.

But allowing the user to position it anywhere around them is proving way harder than expected.

Not having any power in the house thanks to last night’s wind storm is also reducing productivity.

Current programming problem with the Vision Pro version of Pocket Universe is making a good drag-and-drop control panel. The control panel itself is great, with a nice “slide into the distance to open new view on top” effect. I love designing UI.

Use the TestFlight beta of Pocket Iniverse to find comet Lemmon.

Now with comets..

The Apple #VisionPro version of Pocket Universe is coming along nicely. Here’s a link to the public TeatFlight build if you happen to be lucky enough to own a VisionPro!

The HP-35 from 1974

The manual for the HP-35 explaining the stack/register approach. So it thinks.

Doing math the way nature intended. And by “nature” I mean “Hewlett-Packard”.

If anyone wondered “what would happen if the country was governed by an old pedo racist who only understood the world in terms of TV ratings and real estate?”

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck..

Single Board Computer based on an Intel 4004? Wow.

Apple Music: what’s this icon on the right do? What’s it even mean?

The CEO is Piotr Szczerek and he deserves to be miserable forever.

Write and run 6502 code on your phone TODAY. Useful if you need to impress potential employers or romantic partners.

A white-haired gentleman sits in a chair in front of a PDP-1 mini computer from 1959 (looking like a filing cabinet with a control panel and strips of paper tape). Also on the desk are a teletype and a large CRT display.

The very real urge to write an emulator for that instruction set you're learning about. Today: PDP-1.

This picture shows a functioning PDP-1 at the CHM in Mountain View, California together with a functioning Steve Russell (creator of Spacewar, and Lord of Lisp).

Goldmine!

Any sharks?

I love this hobbyist computer from 1967. So relaxing.

Notice how it doesn't even store a program: it executes an instruction that you enter using switches. Adding a program counter and program store would be expensive, but effectively make it into a system that could do things

Sure did. What a game.

Hope I make it in time
