TIL there's a skill overlap between crochet and chess

[-] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I don't know about chess notations, but you got me interested in them.

TIL crocheting instructions look a hell lot like assembly language

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 42 points 1 month ago

It's assembly with native thread support.

Weaving is actually where a lot of the logic for the first computing machines, in particular punched cards come from. On looms back then you would use punched cards to program the loom to weave complicated patterns.

This thread has been a source of fun and knowledge so far!

[-] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Well, it's a kind of assembly language - just not to operate registers of a CPU, but to assemble some crochet piece ;)

[-] pea@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

[-] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago
