In a DM with minion, i requested a second link and this time just tried to register with my email address. The registration process informed me that my address is taken. I thought that perhaps some kind of registration attempt was aborted so that my email is in the db already. So I tried to get a password reset link, and was informed by the process

that *if* my password exists in the database I will be sent an email. This is yet to occur. How can my email both be and not be in the database ?

arrrg. This is my punishment for not following through with the registration process earlier this year when I was directed to interact with the minion bot back then. I was like: ugg, how convoluted, no thank you. perhaps my registration state is still hanging from back then... sigh...

MichaelRaskin: I'm not sure if there is one, but if it was widespread there probably would be one. I don't do much web stuff, though

Kabriel: Ah, okay, I guess there's a high python-to-numpy-to-C/Fortran overhead, then. Not surprising.

Well, maths where where just a properly considered alt text is not sufficient gives an upper bound on the spread…

Kabriel: f2cl lapack might "work pretty well", but run disassemble on them in SBCL and they don't come close to stuff written by hand with SBCL's optimizations in mind in terms of quality of generated asm

MichaelRaskin: technically speaking, every math formula is readable, like (to write some mathematical nonsense) "(a + b) / c = 42 ⇒ ε ∊ (-∞, 7]" is just "a + b over c equals 42 implies epsilon is in the range -∞ to 7 inclusive of 7" or something

Now, whether or not any tool is that smart, idk, but if you provide something like MathML (or LaTeX!) it could in theory be done
17:32:43
MichaelRaskin
In complicated LaTeX formula structure is sometimes sacrificed for output readability and aesthetics
17:33:29
aeth
Yes, which is why MathML would probably be better. Technically it's still "presentation MathML" but it's probably easier to parse
17:33:35
MichaelRaskin
Of course, one hopes that the maths you use _in documentation_ should not be _that_ complicated and even LaTeX might be readable

If there isn't a formal description of Common Lisp, you'd have to write it to cite it, of course.

stop me if you've heard this one before: The world is everything that is the case. The world is the totality of facts, n

is there a standard way to have a variable at a particular memory position? e.g., if I were coding for embedded and I needed "char PORTA @ 0x0024;"

i'm writing an expert system. currently the function i call to add rules is called with this syntax: `(add-rule (rule-if a and (not b) then c)` rule-if is a macro. how would i change the syntax to drop the parentheses from (not b) and check if there is a not before a or b?
22:53:40

You would probably need to introduce some kind of "parser" since the position of keywords in the syntax changes now.
22:54:20
arwn
ok so i can't just hack it together.. that makes sense. I'll read up on writing a parser.
23:04:10
Bike
well if then and c are always one thing each, it would be pretty easy to parse, b is just all elements except the outer two on each side
