iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Completely unrelated: I saw on YouTube that you recently started playing the new Control game. I'm not planning on playing it myself right now, but is it any good? When do you plan your next stream?

Rereading this post, I realize there's no way I'm neurotypical. Three years without any big, tangible results...

I have good news for you. I made some pushes the last couple of days to stabilize things for a 1.0, so soon things will be easier for you and SpectreCoff!

Nikaaaaaaaah! 👻🎃 @mxnectarine.polycule-slut.cloud · 30/09/2026

Made some real progress tonight, and I suddenly feel like three years of work is finally starting to pay off. I doubt anyone will use this, but it feels really good to realize a vision and see it through.

As a swede, it’s a bit weird to buy land for “recreational use” as the right to roam makes most land available to anyone. If he has some idea that this will be his private property, it’s going to be funny to see what happens when people hike, camp, pick berries and mushrooms on “his” land

Cladonia Skog AB, a newly registered company owned by Karp, said it would use the land for “forestry and other related activities.”

One thing that I wish macOS did better was multi-monitor support. I have two fairly recent Dell monitors on my desk daisy chained via thunderbolt (to mac) and DP (to second monitor). And when I plug in the mac its hit and miss as to whether its going to work or not.

Yes. This is something that I really hate with macOS/macs.

Sure! How does it work 😅

If I would extrapolate from carpentry, I would probably kill them by accident.

Looks like Claude can do other things than code...

Maybe. I probably passed my prime, but I'm open to anything as long as I can pay my mortage.

Plan adjusted. Since I have no talent I'll focus on either being a bank robber or a politician. Wait, bank robbing probably requires some skill when I think of it.

I've always said that if I weren't a programmer, I'd be a carpenter. Well, I'm remodeling my garage, and it turns out I SUCK at carpentry. So I need a new backup plan.

Yes. The file is here if you want to take a look: opencli.org/descriptions...

Viewing the result in the explorer is a single command with 1130 options..

Documentation page for ffmpeg 8.1.2 (LGPL-2.1-or-later, OpenCLI 0.1), "Universal media converter." A sidebar with a "Filter commands…" box lists a single command, ffmpeg. The main area shows option tables for Smooth Streaming, SPDIF, and Tee muxers, with the WAV muxer section starting below.

I generated a OpenCLI (opencli.org) description for ffmpeg via "ffmpeg -h full", and the file is 2Mb big...

Finder listing: dotnet.json (52 KB) and the selected ffmpeg.json (2 MB).

Listening to "Story of an Artist" by M. Ward (originally by the late great Daniel Johnston) on repeat tonight. This song is deeply associated with moving to Stockholm for me.

Yes, that's what I've been doing for the last three years or so 😄

I'm considering submitting a talk about building a compiler for the CLR to a conference in February, but I haven't decided whether I want to add yet another thing to my already busy schedule.

I just discovered that ordering glasses online costs a tenth of what I pay at my closest brick-and-mortar store. I have no other word for opticians than "cartel".

I got error propagation working in Mew yesterday! One thing I love about how the compiler works is that this change didn't require any new concepts, just new lowering mechanisms, which made it pretty quick to implement.

$Mew code: ``` pub fn evaluate(text: string) -> Result<i64, string> { if text.is_empty() { return .ok(0); } let tokens = tokenize(text)?; let expr = parse(tokens)?; let eval = new Evaluator { }; return .ok(expr.accept(eval)); } ```$

It's 98% for fun, 2% purpose. I have some plans but not sure how they will pan out yet. Regardless, I'm the only one who will be using it, so I don't take things too seriously 😄

Spent most of my evening on this, but finally got "if let" statements working tonight! github.com/patriksvenss...

$Mew code: ``` pub fn parse(tokens: Enumerable<Token>) -> Result<Expression, string> { let mut stack = Stack<Expression>::new(); for token in tokens { match token { .LParen => { /* Ignore */ }, .RParen => { /* Ignore */ } .Integer(value) => stack.push(new IntegerExpression { value: value }), .Operator(op) => { if let .some(right) = stack.pop() { if let .some(left) = stack.pop() { stack.push(new ArithmeticExpression { operator: op.kind, left: left, right: right, }); continue; } } return .err("Expected operand on stack"); }, } } if stack.is_empty() { return .err("Expected expression on stack but found none"); } return .ok(stack.pop().unwrap()); } ```$

I wanted to name it after my daughter, but "Ada" was already taken for some weird reason! 😉

So this happened yesterday. For some unknown reason (I attribute it to some kind of clerical error), I was awarded "Developer of the Year" at the Developers Day gala here in Stockholm. It was a super fun evening.

A picture of me getting an award for some unknown reason.

Me and some other people who also won awards. Probably for a good reason.

Yeah, I know. I was just joking around. I think it was a funny coincidence 😄

The first real Mew program was written tonight: a simple arithmetic calculator that takes input either from command-line arguments or from stdin. It demonstrates most of the language's current features, as well as interop with .NET. github.com/patriksvenss...

$#load "parsing/mod.mew" use std; let expression = read_expression(); let result = parsing.evaluate(expression); match result { .ok(value) => println($"The result is: {value}"), .err(message) => panic(message), } fn read_expression() -> string { let args = System.Environment::GetCommandLineArgs(); if args.count > 1 { // Get the first provided value return args[1]; } else { // Get expression from stdin print("> "); return System.Console::ReadLine(); } }$ Terminal screenshot showing two runs of a Mew program in a directory named mew-demo. In the first, the command mew main.mew "1+2+3+4*7+(32/2)" prints "The result is: 50". In the second, mew main.mew is run with no arguments, the expression 1+1+2*3 is typed at a ">" prompt, and the program prints "The result is: 8".

Slightly optimistic. Hopefully the fascists (SD) and their friends (M, KD, L) won't be able to rule for the coming 4 years, but at this point it's not a fact.
