phf: the internals are more similar
then not, and
to fully grok sbcl you have
to know cmucl anyway.
phf: i wouldn't even attempt
to replicate
the feat with, say, gcc
phf: yeah, i'm leaning
that way myself, but i'm not fully convinced yet. i'm for example
trying
to build sufficient knowledge of cmucl right now,
to be able
to
take full responsibility for
the behavior of my deployed system, and it's a ~slow process~. it's handy
to have paid professionals assist you
phf: asciilifeform: i enjoyed working with lispworks
team in
the past. i don't
think it's proprietary in
the same sence as msvs or such. you have
to buy into a relationship, but once you have a contract with
them,
they are accommodating. you can ask
them for source if you actually want
to inspect it for lizard hitler
traces and compile it yourself
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i, like
the fool i am, retain hope of putting lispy gui crud places, and so would rather burn
the
time hacking
through mcclim
than running
the symbolics vms.
phf: punkman: it's a free version of clim, which is a standard. if you're
trying
to release actual applications on
top of climacs your better bet is
to buy a lispworks license and use
their clim implementation
phf: punkman: it's really experimental
technology. ~giant~ multilevel spec, implemented by a handful of enthusiasts. only worthwhile if you're prepared
to spend large fraction of your
time on improving and debugging
the gui code itself.
☟︎ trinque: legend has it
that if you say climacs
three
times gabriel_laddel appears
ben_vulpes: punkman: climacs sort of works. beirc is one of
those 'look i wrote a
thing in clim and oop now i'm working for someone else and have no
time
to maintain it'
☟︎ punkman: I'd like
to make some peculiar widgets
trinque: commonqt wasn't a
terrible gasmask
mircea_popescu: then again i guess it makes sense, reddit's collectively at
that enchanted age when kid walks into bedroom unexpectedly,
thinks dad's "beating
the shit out of mom". because wut is fuck anyway.
shinohai: summary: reddit
thinks mircea_popescu is little more
than misogynist.
jurov: well
this needs purpose-designed peripheral
jurov: gotta ask pete and ben about
their bitcoin generation
punkman: "There are
the
things we need
to work on
to get more women into bitcoin and
then
the guys will just come as iron dust
to a magnet... Porn and cam-shows are good
to get some men but
they are not enough
to form relationships. After all we need a bitcoin women finding a bitcoin man, marry eachother and make a baby.
That baby will be born in a bitcoin generation with bitcoin knowledge!"
BingoBoingo: adlai: fxd,
though I shouldn't have. If he wanted attention paid
to his name he should have opted out of government and identified as a public key.
assbot: Zotamedu comments on A "Bitcoin intellectual" has some ideas on how
to make it more popular, especially with women ... (
http://bit.ly/1XbzPkI )
phf: BingoBoingo: has responded
to
the mass shooting has responded
to
the mass shooting
phf: BingoBoingo:
tend
to involve more
typically involve
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess maybe ? strikes me as fucking insane, but
then again i guess
that's
their point
BingoBoingo: Here we had one decimeter of rain over Monday and
Tuesday
mircea_popescu: and
the 800k gallons figure is nonsense. 3.2 cubic meters of water srsly ? 150 acres is what, half a square km ? so you're supposedly doing 4 * 8 * 10^5 * 365 / .5 / 10^6 = 2336mm rainfall a year ?
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> even place large quantity of gold in land mines. hell, make
the land mines ~entirely~ out of gold. not like
the yellow stuff has any better uses. <<<
this is for sure how i'd be running
the vault.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> "Russians safeguarding
the stock late in
the Cold War cached
tiny reservoirs of red mercury in sewing machines and radios bound for export" ahahahaha <<<
there is a very popular east european scam where "german collector" announces he is paying very high sums for "old german sewing machines".
pete_dushenski checks stats :
there are 1`151 golf courses in
the state of california
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> irc is a pain. you would not believe what idiocies i had put in assbot
to keep it as stable as it is. << i have a vague idea.
pete_dushenski: and not sure it's 'lawns' so much as golf courses
that are sucking up cali's water.
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2015 18:02:54; ascii_field: pete_dushenski: supposedly isis supposedly released supposed photo of
the
thing a few hrs ago.
pete_dushenski: even place large quantity of gold in land mines. hell, make
the land mines ~entirely~ out of gold. not like
the yellow stuff has any better uses.
☟︎ jurov: "Russians safeguarding

kakobrekla: trinque is
that lisp bot going
to be decoupled?
jurov: ‘‘It is not only about getting
the red mercury,’’ he said. ‘‘The very small box needs special equipment
to open it, and special reactors
to work with it. If you open
this box, a radius of eight kilometers around you will be destroyed.’’
kakobrekla: irc is a pain. you would not believe what idiocies i had put in assbot
to keep it as stable as it is.
jurov: "Identifying such cheats was easy,
the smugglers said, because real red mercury is attracted
to gold but repelled by garlic."
jurov: yes. but
this is so funny
jurov: ‘‘And
there is green mercury, which is used for sexual enhancement, and silver mercury is used for medical purposes.
The most expensive
type is called Blood of
the Slaves, which is
the darkest
type. Magicians use it
to summon jinni.’’
jurov: ‘‘Red mercury has a red color, and
there is mercury
that has
the color of dark blood,’’ he said.
mircea_popescu: but generally
their (planeta moldova) work should be pretty hysterical
to a russian speaker with ro knowledge
trinque: I've got a common lisp version of
the bot baking which phf helped on, handles all
this much better.
mircea_popescu: imo
the VERY best story of
thanksgiving friends is made by pretty much
the only
thing worth
the mention culturally
to come out of
the bit of romania currently stranded as an "independent state" because russians.
trinque: mircea_popescu: could just be freenode being a pain. I notice
that deedbot- will say on
this end
that "Remote host closed
the connection" and on
the deedbot- end
that he looks like he was disconnected by
the server.
pete_dushenski checks hardbound illustrated hc anderson volume next
to him
pete_dushenski: butcher fed
turkey every day for years, reinforcing friendly sentiment
pete_dushenski: turkey also
thought butcher was his friend. until
thanksgiving came.
