Devine Lu Linvega explores low-power, offline computing systems, esoteric programming languages, and the design of the Uxn virtual machine.

In this session, I will explore some playful low-power, sometimes analog, computation systems and esoteric programming languages, designed to work offline, on salvaged devices, advised from spending the past 7 years sailing around the Pacific Ocean. No seafaring experience required. Devine Lu Linvega Hundred Rabbits, Crew Devine Lu Linvega is a designer and musician living aboard a sailboat somewhere on the foggy shores of the Pacific ocean. Devine has been developing and teaching livecoding environments all the while fending off the rising tide of noxious modern software and operating systems. ---- Recorded Sept 22, 2023 at Strange Loop 2023 in St. Louis, MO. thestrangeloop.com

Why it's here

What people say. Recommended as a fascinating, non-standard tech talk on resilient, low-power computing and the philosophy behind the Uxn virtual machine.

On “Ask HN: What's your favorite tech talk from the past year?”

A bunch of great talks at Strange Loop this year! Two off the top of my head: • "An approach to computing and sustainability inspired from permaculture" by Devine Lu Linvega: link to this video • "The Economics of Programming Languages" by Evan Czaplicki (Strange Loop 2023): link I've also been loving TodePond's cellular automata videos. Their SPLASH talk was mind-blowing, but it doesn't look like it's out yet. • TodePond playlist: link

On “Tal is the programming language for the Uxn virtual machine (2021)”

Devine had a great talk about the "why" of Uxn at Strange Loop last year: link to this video And there was another talk that used it as an example: link Both were great. I'm a big fan of 100R's work. Another language of theirs worth checking out is Orca: link

On “Making a Font”

My favourite quote from Devine: "If you stand on the shoulder of giants, it's really hard to steer". link to this video @ after around the 6:00 mark.

On “Hundred Rabbits is a small collective exploring the failability of modern tech”

Similar cross of art, low power/resilient tech, and sailing I saw at strange loop last year. Non-standard tech talk for sure, but fit right in at that conference: link to this video
