Hi! I would like to give instances of my generic function class a default "function". Is the correct place to do this in "initialize-instance :after ((gf my-gf-class) ... " using set-funcallable-instance-function?

so when you add /first/ method and /second/ method, and remove /first/ method.. :-)
13:46:32
phoe
sounds like you either need a general case for 0 methods or that you need to handle both cases, namely, in some sort of initialization code and then in your remove-method

phoe: exactly, I only asked because I'm having some problems getting it to work using initialize-instance :after
13:49:48
pve
Bike: hmm actually if I replace the default function with something simple like (print 'hello) it does work.. so the problem is most likely elsewhere

pve
the point of this is to improve my "does-not-understand" functionality which uses no-applicable-method, but it only seems to work when the gf has at least one method

ugh, someone in #programming called lisp a broken toy left in the trash, leaving its stench off for ages

well, that description comes nice with "lisp is not dead, it just smells funny" :)

ok, so i'm using clsql with sqlite, and trying to use the s expression based sql queries. i'm translating over some sql with subqueries, ie: select * from table1, (select * from tables2...) as subtable ... and can't see how clsql supports subqueries?

hhdave: I assume yes; you might also post on /r/Lisp and /r/Common_Lisp and optionally ask Xach for publishing on Planet Lisp for more visibility

generally speaking I'm sure that there are a few, but more details would make this question less vague
15:32:52
phoe
or you can link us here in #lisp towards the details of the job offer and I'll do my best to distribute it across other channels

I work for a small Insurance MGA (https://github.com/Virtual-Insurance-Products) in Devon, England and we're in need of another CL programmer (at least 1). The previous guy we had left to do Rust programming.

hhdave
We have a web based CL application which is accessed by many brokers across the country (mostly - we had/have some clients in Ireland and some in Poland too) selling niche insurance products.

if you won't find someone full time, let me know -- I'm available at smaller capacity as a consultant
15:36:23
hhdave
@jackdaniel: that's great, thanks. Even if we do find someone it could be useful to have you as a standby in case there's suddenly loads of work. I am, in fact, really busy.

CLIM knowledge would certainly be relevant, though my 'CLIM' implementation stuff is probably a bit mad compared to proper McCLIM or such
