<tabemann>
back
<tabemann>
hey guys
<tabemann>
crab39: I personally wouldn't by electronic components from alibaba
<tabemann>
like those "blue pill" boards you can get on there often include counterfit chips
<tabemann>
as for COVID-19, well, that's led to a certain degree of cabin fever

is glad he fixed that damn flash bug in zeptoforth
<crab39>
I want a keyboard with programmable screens on every key
<crab39>
I've had issue with keyboards as an interface for a long time and I think that would make me happy with them
<crab39>
and on COVID, I'd rather cabin fever than still being stuck going to work in an establishment that 3 shifts of 40 people plus office workers are in every day :/

in my case my work hasn't told us to not come into work in general, for whatever reason
<crab39>
What's your work though? Like are there a large number of workers there?
<tabemann>
these days there's only a few people working there on any given day
<tabemann>
a lot of the people already aren't coming in because they have kids and school's been canceled
<crab39>
Right, I think all is well if only a few people are in the building
<tabemann>
we're also scattered about in our cubes as well
<crab39>
what's your profession?

Does anyone know of a way to have a recursive function that takes up constant stack space
<clitoris>
Or whether it is possible
<tp>
back on the 25th :)

clitoris: If the stack usage is not changed by the function and recursing is the *last* thing the function does before EXIT (or ;) then it might as well be called using a tail call
<veltas>
That would let you call indefinitely without running out of return stack
<veltas>
Depending on your Forth implementation, if you have that situation then you can manually cause a tail call by doing R> DROP in all recursive calls
