Last post , Wed.Mar,20210310 , I cited Robert Wills's talk on the Apollo moon  landing computer .  And , i particular their Design principle 3 : Restart on failure .

I posted a small change in the CoSy@.bat file used to start  an instance of CoSy on a particular .csy Job file to make it restart on failure all the way out at the DOS level . Fixing one nuance ( see WorkLog , Wed.Mar,20210317 ) jobs now restart automatically about where you were working . There is just kind of a hick-up in what your are doing .

This is a great example of how just a line or two can make significant changes in usability . So much so , that I will be updating files in cosy.com/4thCoSy/Code/CoSy , and particularly the whole CoSy.zip file , which has not been updated for more than 6 months , by this weekend . Email me if you run into problems or have some questions .

This doesn't change my digging into the innards of the Reva Forth CoSy is built on more deeply than ever before . There are many aspects of its structure I am only now getting a handle on . I consider it inevitable that eventually the simple correlated lists structure which enables the APL level of  CoSy will pervade the total chip-up structures of the language .

A new FaceBook group , APL Dinosaurs , has been created and I'm an early member .
I had an interesting thread with Morten Kromberg who runs Dyalog APL . The gist gets down to comparing the simple algorithm for determining leap years in their APL :
with CoSy :
There is some discussion whether the APL is an executable notation and CoSy just a programming language . While there are complexities in the CoSy for a couple of reasons discussed , I would contend the 2 expressions are quite comparable -- almost permutable into each other .

But I also strongly contend that the CoSy is overall far simpler to understand because of Forth's simple whitespace delimiting of ` words and RPN syntax -- and because of CoSy's completely open stack plus lists vocabulary far more flexible .

Heartland Institute has changed the date of its 14th  International Conference on Climate Change to October .

CO2 , What Plants are Made of

Bob Armstrong @  FB : Destroying the CAGW Hypothesis
 
Global mean temperature is a matter of boundary conditions . The chaos inside is continually driven by those boundary conditions . And for either the whole planet , or in an individual voxel in a finite element map , the equations are not that complex . There are 2 components : the electromagnetic and the gravitational . The electromagnetic includes the radiative and kinetic , ie: the radiative equilibrium . The adiabatic gravitational >< kinetic gradient explains increased temperature at the bottoms of atmospheres ( extending on into the solid planets ) above the radiative balance .
Solve , ie: implement the quantitative equations for , simple static experimentally testable cases first , before being diverted by complexities .
The book is ElectroDynamics but the first 280 pages are statics .
Let's see the first 28 pages of a textbook on heat transfer on radiantly heated massive spheres .

Attended the Comsol webnar on " Modeling Moisture Transport, Evaporation and Condensation by Nicolas Huc mentioned last time . Very impressive . What competent physical modeling is like . You can even turn on and off gravity depending on your needs .
 I have taken the liberty of uploading the slides . Obviously contact Comsol if you have use for such systems and expertise .

Here's an example slide :

It is an indictment of the anti-science retardation of the AlGoreWarming , aka: Climate Change , fundamental equationless , experimental demonstrationless GreenHouseGas paradigm that no such public open analytical model exists even for the most simple case : an asymmetrically irradiated colored ball in a vacuum .

Any HONEST rational person seeing these 3 graphs should immediately understand the
global statist demonization of the building block of life is a Leninist useful idiocy

And this isn't even considering their failure at essentially high school level physics
