How would you guys go about implementing a 'throttle'? ex, I want to use dexador to issue http requests against a web service, but that service has a maximum requests/per-second that I'm allowed to use.

You might consider something more sophisticated, like retrying with exponential backoff

I think I'm going to do a CommonMark implementation to generate static sites for Github/Gitlab pages. There are two markdown implementations in Quicklisp, but neither give any indication that they implement the CommonMark spec, i.e. https://spec.commonmark.org/
23:03:57

I also see no CL implementation here, although there is an elisp one. https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/wiki/List-of-CommonMark-Implementations

pjb: I use org-mode near-daily and it's good for what it is... notes, todo lists, a miniature spreadsheet, etc.

pjb: Markdown is better for generating lightly-formatted HTML, though, imo. In part because it's standardized, unlike org-mode, which has a ton of stuff that's heavily dependent on Emacs (like the spreadsheet functionality that's literally built into its tables)

I wouldn't choose org-mode over Markdown for HTML generation, just like I wouldn't choose org-mode over LaTeX for PDFs/books.

does anyone know how to solve a 'warning unused variable autotype_tmp' error from cffi groveller ? seems to prevent loading of a package

Can anyone recommend a library for parsing arbitrary date/time strings into some sort of standard datetime representation?
2:09:48
iarebatm`
simple-date-time seems to recommend local-time, but local-time doesn't parse formats such as "01/01/2019". net-telent-date is marked as deprecated...
2:10:22
iarebatm`
what's the right thing to do in this case, parse out the date parts and construct my own local-time manually?

(encode-universal-time (parse-integer string :start 6) (parse-integer string :start 3 :junk-allowed) (parse-integer string :start 0 :junk-allowed))
2:12:41
pjb
(encode-universal-time 0 0 0 (parse-integer string :start 0 :junk-allowed) (parse-integer string :start 3 :junk-allowed) (parse-integer string :start 6))
2:13:50
pjb
or: (apply (function encode-universal-time) 0 0 0 (mapcar (function parse-integer) (split-sequence #\/ string)))

beach: I should thank you for bringing up the mode though, now I can write `((lambda (x) x) 2) evto 2` and feel slightly less icky by using Unicode arrows.
3:54:24
no-defun-allowed
`((lambda (x) x) 2) ↦ 2` Emacs has a weird pause when I load any unicode characters though, possibly because it has to load a fallback font since CMU Typewriter Text doesn't have that character.

I can't imagine having to type things like "first-class global environments", "Common Lisp HyperSpec", "(admittedly small) family", etc. whenever I want to mention those concepts. :)
3:58:19
beach
... and since I am apparently turning dyslexic, I would make typos trying to type those phrases each time, thereby slowing me down even more.

Hm, macOS has an abbrev expander but I always thought it was annoying (since it is bound to autocorrection), which would be handy since Emacs isn't my matrix client.
4:00:44
beach
Now, what I would really like is to be able to use the same abbrev expander everywhere, in the editor, on the command line, etc.
4:01:10
no-defun-allowed
Excellent! The already half-broken input box on riot.im also breaks macOS's autocorrect too.
4:02:40
no-defun-allowed
Maybe matrix-client.el is calling again. Anyways, abbrev is very neat, thanks for mentioning it, beach.
4:47:23
pjb
beach: the problem, is to remember the abbreviations you used for those in-extenso expressions!

But from what I see how it behaves on smartphones, it's unsatisfactory. Perhaps with a neuralink?
5:20:44
no-defun-allowed
And a neuralink is probably another 10 years away, given the dumb hype you get from Elon, and would cost more than your computer.
