happyborgAsync Rust is a Bad Language by Matt Kline.Very good intro and thought provoking article on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/concurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#concurrency</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/parallelism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parallelism</a>, and their use in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a>.It champions <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TonyHoare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TonyHoare</a>'s <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CSP</a> model of concurrency which takes me back.

Which was largely a ploy to get the UK government to buy me some neat kit 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, here's the article: <a href="https://bitbashing.io/async-rust.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bitbashing.io/async-rust.html</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Rustlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rustlang</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/async" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#async</a>

QuincyRazors should not be multiplied without necessity.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Occam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Occam</a>'s razor is the only razor in town (See, it even shaves itself!)

Tom StepletonAt last, my <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/transputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transputer</a> project is ready to share!I've written a program in the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/occam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#occam</a> language that uses a network of seven transputers ('80s/'90s UK CPUs for parallel processing) to simulate a flying flag --- much faster than the IBM PC/AT 286 host computer could do it, I think! (So <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/doscember" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doscember</a> too!)I've also written a long writeup on how it works, with background on transputing and occam.This was a really enjoyable project, so I hope it makes for fun reading!YouTube teaser: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY-cUEJT1XQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY-cUEJT1XQ</a> Writeup@GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/stepleton/flag/blob/main/README.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/stepleton/flag/blob/main/README.md</a>

Tom StepletonAt least with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/occam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#occam</a> and the rest of the tools from <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/INMOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#INMOS</a>, transputers are also programmed in the "bee" way rather than the "hive" way. What makes occam and transputers special is that they were built to be bees from the start! The computer and software architectures that underlie most cloud systems evolved from settings where there was only ever one computer: sometimes a large, expensive minicomputer that hosted multiple users, other times a desktop PC that was kept running overnight to do various server-like duties. The facilities that let multiple computers work together were added _post hoc_, and it shows. Local threads of one program share data in a way that differs from how separate programs on the same machine share data, which is different to how programs on separate computers share data --- and so on. Some programmers' aids like libraries and frameworks try to hide this complexity, but you can always feel the ancient rivets and seams underneath the shiny new wallpaper. (2/3)

wilkie (quilt appreciator)I've added (to be merged upstream) Joliet filenames, seeking, and BIN support to the isoparser python library. Now, I can use it in my digital preservation software to navigate CUE/BIN images, download/stream individual files, and, I dunno, pass them to a Minecraft skin viewer? Because why the heck not?!? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/occam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#occam</a> <a href="https://github.com/wilkie/isoparser/tree/feature-adds-joliet-and-bin-support" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/wilkie/isoparser/tree/feature-adds-joliet-and-bin-support</a>
