What choices do I have for a library similar to Python's requests(HTTP client)? Other than drakma and dexador
11:18:04
schweers
I have to admit that I only used drakma a little bit and tried out daxador even more briefly, so I can’t comment on how good these options are
11:25:57

although I think I did need to wrap it a bit, specifically to bail if a download is too large

is there something built in i can use to recursively search a list? I've ended up with a lot of homemade functions that do this
11:33:20
iissaacc
search for and return a subtree that matches some predicate, like (eq (car subtree) :select)
12:07:06
jmercouris
it really depends on how often you must search the list, and if the position in the recursive structure is relevant to your needs

if the client allows, you could also pin the cert so that the one site is guaranteed to use that one certificate, which will also thwart mitm attacks

Well, I tried ##C++ but most of them never heard of Unification. Any idea if there is a unification library in C/C++?

Hi, why would my remote slime connection get "broken by remote peer" instead of going into the debugger, when I hit an error.
14:23:35
gendl
warweasle: nope. Server is still there, I can do M-x slime-connect and connect to it again
14:24:34
gendl
nope, it's the same instance -- although that's a good question, let me double check that
14:24:46
gendl
indeed the server is running in an infinite recovery loop so you may be on to something
14:28:28
gendl
seems the server process had been constantly crashing on initialization and getting re-spawned. the startup banner and messages are repeated in the log file a gazillion times.
14:29:02
gendl
it wasn't slime/swank crashing the lisp -- the lisp was repeatedly crashing on its own.
14:29:52
warweasle
Yeah... Whenever something is wrong I always assume I did it. Generally, every library I download is much better than anything I could write myself.
14:30:00
gendl
anyway sorry for the noise, problem identified and nothing to do with slime/swank -- my init is broken...

tests whether a predicate applies to the variable, rather than whether it is equal to a value
15:17:30

"variable"? If it is anything like ordinary CASE, it computes the value of an arbitrary form before checking the cases.

anyone know of bindings to signal (the chat program)? libsignal-protocol-c is gross enough that I'd rather not write the cffi glue myself if I don't have to :)
