5:39:01JuanDaughertybeach, you're fluent in vietnamese?
5:39:40JuanDaughertyor, alternatively Fare, you never were?
5:41:32JuanDaughertyin any case stuff addressing semantics in a computing context is good, it tends be siloed/isolated in AI/nlp or just pure research on it as such
6:00:29beachJuanDaugherty: I am definitely not fluent in Vietnamese, and according to Fare, his Vietnamese is (or was) the level of child.
6:01:13beachJuanDaugherty: It is more of a game between the two of us. Every time we meet, we try to exchange a few words, but it hasn't been very successful.
6:03:11beachJuanDaugherty: Fare claims that he can not understand what I say because my "pronunciation is strange". However, the (southern) Vietnamese clerk at the Eurasia store understands my (southern) Vietnamese quite well.
6:05:09beach4 are the same in the north and in the south.
6:08:48JuanDaughertyACTION doesn't know of anything like a common semantic thing for lisp as such other than the usual inclusion of a prolog implementation
6:09:58fouricIs there an easy way of getting CFFI to print a list of search paths after it explodes because it could not find a shared library?
6:11:00JuanDaughertyisn't just inspecting the paths easier?
6:14:04Farebeach: which tones are confused in the south?
7:05:19st_irondo i understand well that cons cells are just like single linked lists, and the car contains the value, the cdr the pointer to the next item?
7:10:13sirabenBut you can write functions by CPS transform to add that, right?
7:11:22st_ironi study from Peter Seibel's book, he explains everything very well
7:11:40beachsiraben: Sure you can transform to CPS, but you still don't have call/cc. Also, CPS pretty much requires tail-call optimization which the standard doesn't require.
7:11:47st_ironbut sometimes the explanation confuses me :)
7:12:05beachst_iron: Then you come here and get clarification.
7:12:38st_ironbeach: and i really appreciate it :) thanks
7:13:44sirabenI wonder what an operating system built on Lisp would be like
9:00:57jack_rabbitasdf is giving me 'Component "package html-convert" not found' when trying to load one of my projects. html-convert.lisp is a file in my project, and listed under components as :file.
9:01:28jack_rabbitIt's not listed as a package dependency. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've never run into this before.
9:01:55beachjack_rabbit: "package" here means Common Lisp package, not ASDF "system".
9:02:21beachjack_rabbit: So you are probably using a package prefix or IN-PACKAGE before you do the DEFPACKAGE.
12:11:47Bikeif you deal with really big values, you might have to finesse it to avoid computing that huge intermediate value that you then take the sqrt of, but i don't know how to do that off the top of my head
12:12:06Bikewell. i guess you can write it as c*sqrt(mc^2+p)
