Nyan Max<p>Hola. Como sabéis estoy apunto de terminar mi libro (voz de Paco Umbral) sobre Permacomputación y minimalismo digital. En el capítulo de sobre Solarpunk, en vez de explicar lo que es, he hecho un relato de solarpunk para que se entienda la idea. ¿Si os gusta la ciencia-ficción y la literatura podríais echarle un ojo?

Devine Lu Linvega<p>One aspect that I like of the programming language I use daily is its robustness, it'd be hard for it to become unrecoverable. </p><p>The language itself relies on a runtime that can be emulated in about 150 lines in most languages(including its own language), and a 2300 bytes self-hosted assembler. There is a bootstrapping toolchain that allows me to recover an assembler from a hex dump on an operating system without `cat`, or `xxd`, or even with an implementation of the runtime without a file system.</p><p>I've added a few notes on how it all works:<br><a href="https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/drifblim#bootstrap" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.xxiivv.com/site/drifblim#</span><span class="invisible">bootstrap</span></a></p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a></p>
