Is there a way to execute a command from asdf? So that so when someone does a quicklisp load of my project it runs a git command to git clone a JS component?

I see some LZW compression algorithms in QL, but is there one by itself intended for general use?

Xach: you wrote on in skippy, but it doesn't appear to be part of the exported interface of that system.

dbotton, could you declare a dependency on that component in the readme instead of trying to retrieve it on every load-system?
19:17:35
Xach
The simplest thing (on a certain axis) is to include all the things you need up front.

pfdietz: are you interested in a standalone library for lzw for something in particular?

So maybe I just describe in demo how if the CDN version fails (or your country can't use) what to do
19:33:17
dbotton
I don't think I want to add into my git tree and don't really want it as a dependency

dbotton: btw, uoip is a part of asdf, so if you're loading via asdf, you shouldn't have to check if it's there
19:53:29
Xach
having uiop does not mean the things you may want to run will be present and run, though.
19:54:24
White_Flame
oh, I thought the implication was testing if uiop was present, might have misread

People, people. Hear me: use `with-standard-io-syntax' when printing sexps to a file and save yourself from the pain.

Reading let over lambda, which refers to assembly code every now and then. Any suggestion on getting started with the minimal amount of assembly, so i can enjoy LOL more? :-) thanks!

Xach: yes, a standalone library for LZW. The use case is compressive similarity of strings.

pfdietz
That is, you can estimate how similar two strings are by knowing how much compressing one helps you compress the other.
