Kestrel Update - Samuel A. Falvo II
"The 1-pass
assembler for the Kestrel-3 is working quite well so far. I'm using it to build
its first "real" program, the machine-language monitor. It's written in the
"usual", sequential style of coding you'd expect from an anti-evented person
like me."
"When talking about another (unrelated) program, though,
Aliaksei asked me about using an evented architecture. I wasn't planning on it,
but that got me thinking: what would it take to make an evented runtime
environment for the STS operating system? Would it be simple? *Could* it be
simple?"

will teach you:
- A shockingly easy mental model for how Forth Haiku works
- Powerful recipes you can mix and match in a thousand
ways
- 5 simple words that can do amazing things!
- Secrets of the trade like "transparent" Haikus
- How to deface the Haikus of your friends and enemies
- One weird trick every Haiku master should know!

Future presentation:
van der Waals Equation -- Exploring Gas-Liquid-Solid
Equilibrium - CH Ting
"A cubic
virial
equation of state has all the positive features of the
van
der Waals equation of state, but not its associated problems with a
singular point in the formulation. The cubic virial equation also allows us to
explore the condensed phase and conditions where a solid phase may coexist with
gaseous and liquid phases."
"I am using the graphic engine in F# to plot the equations and
to explore all the various conditions. For one thing, while I am raising terms
in the equation to the 32nd power, all computations are still done in 32-bit
integer math. People might be interested in the graphic engine and the integer
high math." |
