@shegeley You have my sympathy. Tech is just {hours of frustration}, followed by {feeling of elation for 1 second when it works} and then back to {hours of frustration}. 😉

Moved to a new laptop. Yeah

@flatwhatson @nlnet Reading the s48 refmanual I notice that the numeric types use double and long, and booleans use char. Could this be configurable in a future implementation?, pre-scheme could be an awesome meta programming tool but the current scheme48 implementation seems too restrictive.

@flatwhatson @nlnet This is awesome!

@flatwhatson I am delighted to see that this effort exists! In the early 90’s I built robots that booted to s48. Jonathan Rees made scheme work brilliantly. In the late 90’s I set up a new group of robots with Kelsey’s Kali scheme. On one of my visits to NEC, I asked Richard about pre-scheme.

I think jar called it “a compiler only one person could run”, so I didn’t feel too bad that I couldn’t get it running on my own.

But that’s a story for another day.

I wish you great success!

@abcdw @krevedkokun Oh, where can we get that cloud-init package? Would be great to have it upstream!

@abcdw @krevedkokun nice!

@lettosprey

Several old Devs gathered around a poorly lit table in a run down bar near the edge of the Wastelands.

With a voice that speaks of the scars of long fought battles one Dev breaks the silence: "There were... programming languages written in XML. You had things like <If condition="something"> ... </if>"

The Dev begins to sob and retract into a fetal position as they mumble something about function returns and binary interface layers. The rest just pour themselves another round.

@lettosprey "Perhaps if we used XML to specify our LLM..."
(or maybe I 've seen one XKCD tagnote too many.)

@lettosprey There's one of these every few years; other notable hits include 4GLs and The Almighty Blockchain. And AI another few times, actually.

@decibyte

Well said!

Also when I gave a presentation on #clojurescript on my pre-previous workplace (all collegues were "IT newcomers") showing the interactive development (REPL) and moldable development instead of recompiling all the time they was NOT impressed neither interested. And the core dialog was: «But it's possible to do all the shown with REPL with just browser's console! — Are you doing it? — Well... No»

@shegeley Nice work! Thanks for sharing, Clojure was my first Lisp so I often feel like I'm missing some of these functions.

I stumbled across #lokke a while back, haven't tried it yet -- I think it's more focused on being a #clojure dialect on top of #guile but could be of interest to you?

if you want to use clojureism as #guix package with git-fetch see https://github.com/shegeley/hatis/commit/14f2e85c71e87c877c1ba3f25caa99f5bcbb664d

@davidrevoy : Merci David, ce genre de post est essentiel. Et tu pointes bien les problèmes de Wayland que les geeks en console comme moi ne voient pas (je ne sais même pas ce que c’est la calibration d’un écran).

Au fait, bienvenue sous Debian !

@davidrevoy but is the phone working?

@davidrevoy loved this article. I also installed #debian12 with #gnome but I may switch after reading!

@luis_felipe I like the design :) I might be tempted by a more general "Lisp" one :)

Also by Emacs merch (mug),

and if products are sent from the EU.

cheers

@luis_felipe That design is really cool.

Nothing too bad happens. The email, wounded but not dead, skulks off into the shadows to recover. I continue on my merry way, but am dreading the rolls I’ll have to make against a growling pack of LLMs in the next town.
