BingoBoingo is sarcastic when says needs
to build on VAX, prolly should
though.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: iirc
that SBCL functionality needs some work before it is ready for production.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Nope.
Though I should include
that.
The state saving is for files, window layouts, urls and
their scroll locations.
gabriel_laddel: no explicit
transactions etc. necessary. Just `setf'
the state of
the object in question.
gabriel_laddel: There are several other
things
that simply "make sense", but have somehow not found
their way into mainstream linux. One of which is
the dashboard. Currently it lists how many lisp LoC and projects are running on
the entire machine. It also manages
the habits system and allows for one
to say, practice mathematics for 1 hours a day without fail, at which point it restores
the state prior
to starting
the habit.
gabriel_laddel: The state saving facility allows for saving saving and restoration of all URLs, scroll locations, files and window arrangement on a whim. CLIM gui applications
that obey
the recommended architecture can also
trivially plug into
this system.
gabriel_laddel: The browser, window manager, gui library and emacs are all connected
to
the same common lisp process and are explorable at runtime. Conkeror is based on Emacs and shares some of
the same conceptual foundation,
thus,
the whole experience feels very lispy.
The lessons system is 'dialed-in'. For example, you can specify
that
the user is
to scroll
to 80% of a particular URL, at which point you want
the windows arranged
gabriel_laddel: - dashboard
that reports e.g., LoC for
the entire system.
gabriel_laddel: - millions LoC less
than
the browser, at least 10x more expressive.
gabriel_laddel: -
the best GUI library available on current architectures (CLIM - Commmon Lisp Interface Manager).
gabriel_laddel: I've actually done very little development for
this dirtro. Most of my
time has been spent finding perfect little individual peices and assembling
them. Out of
the box it has:
☟︎ punkman: oh man
the spain-tards sure love
this guy
punkman: "Alexis
Tsipras is a
tin-pot communist. May his
time in power be short and his actions easily revocable."
punkman: 50-60% voter
turnout, all-time low
pete_dushenski: i agree, no one particularly cares if greece goes
the way of atlantis
punkman: pete_dushenski: default
time in
the land of olive oil ? <<
that was years ago
BingoBoingo: Also... I smoke cigarettes a lot of places, but anywhere I'm generating a bunch of woodshavings is not
that place.
ben_vulpes: HAND GUIDED router << anyone who works with power shapers knows better
than
to hand guide a router
ben_vulpes: victory goes not
to
those who are merely decisive of mind, but only
to
those who are also swift of action.
gabriel_laddel: though from a rating perspective, I don't
think it matters if I wait until I release
the distro
ben_vulpes: best
time
to plant a
tree and all
that
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: still have
those keys?
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for gabriel_laddel from 1
to 1 with note: not really new blood any more
ben_vulpes: care
to
talk a little more about
this distro upon which you've been working?
ben_vulpes: mlol i was
talking
to BingoBoingo, but same goes for you as well
gabriel_laddel: screenshots of programs
that come with
the #b-a distro by default.
BingoBoingo: Imma spend a few hours now reading
trilema and listening
to Lynyrd Skynyrd
to get
the liberal brainwashing out.
pete_dushenski: Anti-austerity Syriza party has won Greece's general election, putting
the country on a possible collision course with
the EU over its massive bailout.
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2015 02:05:42; BingoBoingo: I live. Got hooked into judging at a college debate
tournament
this weekend for quick fiat and an anthropological study of
the reddit derp in
the physical world.
BingoBoingo: I might see it eventually. I am just so
thrilled
though
that yesterday I got
to watch actual minstrel shows performed for free.
moldysnizz: BingoBoingo, have yo had a chance
to watch "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin"?
BingoBoingo: If I were drunk
though I prolly would have IRC'd on
the hostile campus wifi. I am so happy
to have civilized internet again.
moldysnizz: I really need
to dig out my old workstation for my other signing keys. It would be nice
to be back on
the WoT
BingoBoingo: On
the plus side I also got
to judge speech events, which meant I literally got
to watch minstrel shows and liberals were ok with it.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe if I had a ballot
that round.
BingoBoingo: I did not get
to judge
that round, but
the nihilist "won"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I actually got
to hear it argued
today
that manned spaceflight is bad, because science is aligned against queer people and because science is aligned against queer people we should embrace human extinction.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu is growing into
the "nice grandpa" and not grumpy old man.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Only drank Friday night. Saturday night my loss of faith in
the USian college leaders of
the future pushed me into unassisted slumber.
BingoBoingo: I live. Got hooked into judging at a college debate
tournament
this weekend for quick fiat and an anthropological study of
the reddit derp in
the physical world.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: twitter: soggy, used mostly by intellectual janitors. yup,
that'd be a mop
mircea_popescu: mats> whoa, xanga. i haven't seen
that name in almost a decade. <<
that azn chick still blogs on it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski> mp can't, gotta have
twitter <<
twitter,
this single shot rifle
pete_dushenski: besides, onions are more interesting
to hang out with ;)
thestringpuller: didn't know you were
the channel car guy, but again guess I haven't done my reading
pete_dushenski: the last one was bespoke, but a dud compared
to
the phantom
thestringpuller: yah
the most modern. i was speaking druing
the infancy of maybach music
pete_dushenski: the modernest of
the maybachs is just an s-class
trim line now
thestringpuller: rap couldn't
truly save
the maybach, but it's one of
those dream cars
that actually fulfills
the dream from my limited experience at least.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: it's in
the interest of
the suppliers
to ensure
that
they have business in
the future
pete_dushenski: the
tesla model s couldn't have been anything other
than "the best piece of engineering since apollo 11"
thestringpuller: tesla's suppliers are definitely
trying
to reverse
the quality
trend
pete_dushenski: consumer reports is "independent" but hardly impervious
to cajoling
thestringpuller: i hate
that
tho.
that
there fame lies in
that rather
than just pure industry.
pete_dushenski: obama needed a poster child, and
tesla has definitely been one of his success stories
mats: a reading of 'Consumer Reports' from some years ago suggests
that cars are lasting longer...
thestringpuller: thestringpuller: is hampering even
the best of intentions <<
this is why
tesla was able
to get
through even with mafia style racket in place.
pete_dushenski: this is also why recalls are spanning unprecented numbers of cars, and stretching across brands at
the same
time
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: yea but was crafted in mind 90's when
the
trend started
pete_dushenski: but
the increased homogeny between brands, a function of
their sharing
tier 1 and 2 suppliers, is hampering even
the best of intentions
thestringpuller: ya, mah girl has a Camry from 94-95 or something almost 200k miles on it and it runs fine. Road
trip worthy and all.
pete_dushenski: and have so many electrical gremlins
that
they'd be impossible
to repair
thereafter
pete_dushenski: ideally, from
their perspective, cars would crap out as soon as
the warranty expired
pete_dushenski: of course, in
the mid
to late 90's, automakers figured out
that all cars, regardless of upfront cost, should self-immolate after 10 years
