_popescu: you're still missing the whole "bind *real-eval* to nil" part of the discussion

_laddel: I get your point but also, this kinda sounds to me like "don't use math symbols, write it all with the full power of english"
BingoBoingo: <gabriel
_laddel> trinque: well these are all very good questions, but that's application development. << NO, this is developing separate universes
BingoBoingo: <gabriel
_laddel> trinque: I don't see how this is a problem? << I am a librarian, a collector. I want to collect information without collecting a bunch of executable rat turds
trinque: gabriel
_laddel: what of gentlemen like BingoBoingo that want to write and link things
trinque: and on the other end, gabriel
_laddel will tell you that's a (small) subset of his lispy metaverse
BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> it spills trans. << I though that was called prison???

_laddel: there is a partially complete js->parenscript transpiler so that you don't have to read js
trinque: gabriel
_laddel: hypertext is a word.
punkman: gabriel
_laddel: well even if you can translate all the worl'ds js to lisp, I still don't want any JS
trinque: gabriel
_laddel: yeah that immediately pissed me off
BingoBoingo: trinque: I am referring to the latter in reference to gabriel
_laddel's assertion javascript should be parsed at all.
BingoBoingo: gabriel
_laddel: But at some point people want to put arbitray string on their own.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> XML syntax is a heinous misstep that affords little, demands much << It is, and When gabriel
_laddel talks massamune unfortunately I read XML or XML with paren
trinque: gabriel
_laddel: sounds very nice
trinque: BingoBoingo: I would say mr gabriel
_laddel has it, that all syntaxes can be done within the lisp system, and simultaneously you find that the vast majority aren't necessary
☟︎ trinque: gabriel
_laddel: not at all; they've already learned more syntax via basic algebra
trinque: gabriel
_laddel: just the bit about how if we don't make all these assumptions about order of operations, and arrange things sensibly, we've got sexps

_laddel: If I want to print pretty papers I don't need, want, or desire turing complete postscript
BingoBoingo: <gabriel
_laddel> punkman: you lose the full power of the programming language. << In nearly every case a 3rd part gives you code you don't want a full language. You want a plainly crippled language.
BingoBoingo: gabriel
_laddel: You have to understand I am appraoching this as a trained Librarian. Scripting is at best a form of highlighting (never a reason for broswerscript or postscript to be turing complete) Everything else it does is vandalism
BingoBoingo: gabriel
_laddel: A page is a document. Why should anyone other than the user impose any scripts upon the text?
BingoBoingo: gabriel
_laddel: Sharp blades excise tumors like javascript
BingoBoingo: <gabriel
_laddel> Incidentally, improving the browser interface is what I plan on using to punish interns / employees who create DSLs, configuration file formats, non-reader macro syntax extensions... << How is "improving:" and not "killing" the word here

_dushenski: "I thought the support BitcoinXT had was way bigger because of so many people praising it on /r/Bitcoin. I wanted to help scale bitcoin so I spent about $200 to set up 10 BitcoinXT nodes for a month."

BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> BingoBoingo next time film him, put him online. << He may or may not have been recorded. If his handlers read this they probably ought to see if their agent has a file with one of the more trusted local constables.
BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> under federal law, a judge is technically allowed to sentence a defendant based on conduct that was uncharged, [or]charged and dismissed, or even charged and acquitted. Thats because the standard of proof at trial is beyond a reasonable doubt while the standard of proof at sentencing is by a preponderance, i.e. more likely than not. [
] The government can dismiss charges if it wishes, but if the court thin

_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums.
