Went on a quick stroll today, but a little bit elsewhere than usual. Liquid sunshine hit us at one point, but it wasnât bad.
@prologic@twtxt.net Cool. Well, when I think of classic interfaces, then Reader

come to mind. Unless my definition of adverbs is completely off, these are nouns in my point of view. Granted, they end in er
and start with a verb, but theyâre nouns. Adverbs are something different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb Anyways, good writeup. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, mates! It was indeed cool to watch, but also a bit frightening. Quite violent. I reckon they were fighting over prey. I only saw it on the photos (3 & 4), one had a mouse or smomething in its beak. Iâm speculating that the other might have thought that this meal belongs to itself as it was caught in its own territory or so. Thus, maybe by crashing into the rival the hope was that the prey is dropped on impact, so it can be stolen back by the rightful owner. Just guessing, I donât know. I really like red kites, they look super cool in my opinion. Their iconic v-shaped tail makes them unmistakable for others.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! A few things (I canât fix them myself I reckon):
- Code blocks would benefit from proper indentation.
- Interfaces have adverbs as names? I reckon theyâre nouns instead.
- I donât get what convention

A few bad shots of a red kite circling over the neighborhood. 02 is shortly after two kites had an areal combat. One high speed crashed into the other one twice from greater altitudes.
Oh yeah, rain circle around the slightly cloudy sun. This is no lense flare.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, indeed! It didnât occur to me that other places organize it differently. I reckon, most clubs arenât that huge anymore as they were back in the days. So this concept only works for collecting areas that arenât very large, hence, smaller towns and villages. The places currently listed here are not super big: https://www.du-willkommen.de/altpapiersammlung.html
Ta, @prologic@twtxt.net!
Nice April weather today with rain, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, even a bit of hail, sun, rain, etc. We got rainbows twice today. But not as good as yesterday.
@stigatle What a great scenery! And quite an adventure you got yourselves into. :-)
Sun and rain in combination is always great. Added 13 and 14.
Todayâs hike was framed in light rain. And now it seems the sun is even coming out for a few minutes this evening. Quite some weird light, the sky turns tan.
@prologic@twtxt.net I see. Via s-expressions I came across John McCarthyâs CBCL (Common Business Communication Language) and now Iâm reading Paul Baranâs paper about The Future Computer Utility. Quite a fun excursion.
@prologic@twtxt.net I really liked it. One or the other section might feel a bit dated, because it is. But that doesnât hurt the overall experience at all. Currently, Iâm continuing with the next one: https://www.defmacro.org/2006/06/19/fp.html So far I can recomment this one, too. Both are written in an entertaining style and I feel like I have a little bit better understanding of things than before. But some mental power is required to wrap my head around some sections Iâve noticed. Itâs no mind candy. :-) But thatâs good. I never worked with any real functional language before. All my FP experience is limited what other languages offer in that field.
@stigatle @prologic@twtxt.net Gâday, overcast with tiny amounts of rain every now and then here, too. A grey heron visited a neighbor:
Today, Iâll finally have a look at Lisp. This nice introduction article waited in my browser tabs for many years I believe.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, to my knowledge it ends up at the same place when collected with the commercial wastepaper trucks, too. We get some money from the recycling company for bringing it to them. The price per ton varies with the resource price on the market and when it rains some rate is subtracted to account for higher weight due to the water. Even though itâs quite some work, itâs also a fun activity.
At least over here itâs common that (larger) local clubs participate in these wastepaper collections. I reckon it originated in times where there were no commercial wastepaper trucks and municipalities had to organize something, so they asked their clubs to participate. I canât really remember, but I think when I was a kid, wastepaper was 100% collected by volunteers. Nowadays we also have the wastepaper recycling trucks for the âBlaue Tonneâ (blue bin). I think in the past we as the scouts had two to three collections a year, now itâs only one.
This time was very bad timing. The blue bins were emptied the same week, so there was only half the material of regular collections. The volunteer run dates are planned by the town hall and apparently not synchronized with the recycling companyâs schedule.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, interesting. The axis are aligned again. Never thought about that before.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, everything has a flipside.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Itâs going to be recycled. We brought to the local wastepaper recycling plant.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that sums it up pretty well! No idea, these crocheted hearts just appeared out of nowhere. In January there was only one, however, itâs gone in the meanwhile. Now we saw these four about 100 meters from where the first one was. Theyâre kinda looking nice. If their goal is to spread some joy they certainly have accomplished their mission.
Today was wastepaper collection with the scouts. We were fairly short on manpower, but luckily there was also quite little wastepaper to collect this time. My team found a paper mâchÊ cow head at the beginning and we had to use it as a mascot on our truck. :-)
Afterwards we welded a steel frame for a new sink in our material store. We just used spare tent poles that were laying around unused for years.
That was an awesome project, sure, total overkill, but we had really good fun. Unfortunately, we ran out of time. We couldnât paint the thing as it was still way too hot.
@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Cool, that looks nice! I also like the surrounding landscape a lot.
Spring is there with 18°C. Weâve seen a hare today. It must have been years when I saw the last one. The photo quality is horrible, but oh well. On the other hand, the firebug turned out heaps better than I could have hoped for.
