I guess this is like telling people crammed into a cubicle farm office that air conditioning is bad, and then being banned by an air-conditioner-repair-person. The fact that they’re chained to an office with stale, mouldy air implies more than one thing has gone wrong.

You’ve actually convinced me that this was at least a reasonable idea but I don’t think a gopherhole shop rating system would be in theme with the closely knit community dynamic we have.

The protocol was going to have a feature-rich, shopping-friendly set of extensions, but when this was proposed in 1993, there was a community backlash against commercialising the gopher; read Albert Rosetti’s booklet about what happened. This is roughly how the gopher protocol became both liberated and hyperstable in the early 90s.

Imagine if a gopher wanted to sell or otherwise pass on some old computer hardware. It makes sense to share that on their gopherhole: And since payment handling is ~ always legally middle-manned by a payment handler who will handle the payment anyway, the protocol wouldn’t need to be extended to be a payment processer.

On the other hand, I would be against paving paradise to put up a parking lot.

Hmmmm does echo do the CRLF? I thought I normally printf "~tomasino/phlog\r\n" | nc tilde.institute 70 which I guess should actually be printf "%s/%s\r\n" "~tomasino" "phlog" | nc tilde.institute 70

my name is screwtape right

For example the talking-about-my-generation thread, where phloggers edited in bibliographies of known/noticed other response phlog articles across both the gopher and geminispace.

My usual phetch doesn’t have an XDG web browser set or something I think? Unless I misunderstood that error, hang on. Specifically in phetch, I tried following link 1. (phlog@z3bra.org) and I get the error, “invalid port value”.

I have years of your life to catch up on ! Neat looking back at ideas for scribo at different times like gopher://phlog.z3bra.org/0/idea-multipartmixed-support-for-scribo.txt

I was briefly confused by your html mailto item but no longer

This literally happened to me one hour ago. I guess the words were “gopher… blog?”

@rwxrwxrwx@mathstodon.xyz Juan M. Bello-Rivas https://sr.ht/~jmbr/cl-buchberger/ ; Common Lisp Object System based polynomial-ring math

• great use of defmethod to handle different useful notions of * / + - , and very powerful LOOP facility.
• wonderful to have this common lisp native math package
• (implementing buchberger’s algorithm to compute a polynomial’s Groebner basis, which exposes many of the polynomials properties obviously)
• package-wise… The native package is purely native, and uses the old fashioned packaging idiom (package.lisp) in a source module, but
• • the test package uses #:fiasco which extends uiop:define-package and (secretly, I guess) uses/implies the :package-inferred-system idiom for tests.
• • So because Juan is also using #:fiasco I think both sides could benefit from asdf’s :package-inferred-system, though this would mean lots of uiop:define-package :mix ing of separate files, and the usefulness of :module is subsumed into :package-inferred-system as well.

Carlos Ungil’s usual-suspects deep learning FFIS https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/users/cungil/projects

• Carlos Ungil has done exactly the greatest thing.
• (Though once again with old fashioned packaging)
• Depends on lisp’s common cffi package
• Since R libraries are fundamentally actually C libraries exposed in the R scripting language, Carlos has simply captured the underlying C libraries and built them into lisp using #:cffi , and done this for a variety of C libraries including both vendor-ish ones like tensorflow, and R’s underlying Rmath package.

Thanks christy ! Thank you for everything you do.

Thread for discussing this 667 word world meta-commentary

Everyone should connect at https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/lisp

since that forum is not and will not be commercially owned or tied with proprietary garbage (aws, discord, tiktok, youtube, whatever) whereas other non-reddits seem to have links to those things. SDF is also slightly older than me, and hence arguably mature.

Juan links to someone with a bunch of common lisp deep learning FFIs to the usual suspects https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/users/cungil/projects
