4:11:45phoeI guess that I annoyed him a wee bit too much with my posts at https://github.com/cl-library-docs/common-lisp-libraries/issues/3
4:11:54phoeI guess it was the last one, especially
4:13:14beachphoe: I am sorry you got into an argument with that guy.
4:14:07phoebeach: no worries. I am glad that I was able to spend some time and compile some publicly available data on him that will hopefully help keep the Lisp community a better place in the future.
4:37:15mfianoI still hold the record for longest grudge held against. Only recently as yesterday have I seen him mention me. Serious psychological issues over there.
5:13:11phoeI think I'm the first person who actually managed to out-speak him
5:14:57Bikei envy their internet experience if the craziest thing anyone has ever said to them on the internet was that they're not good at lisp
5:15:38Bikewell, i shouldn't gossip too much i guess, sorry
5:15:45phoein my case it's just a combination of patience, persistence, data scraping and a decision to allocate some time to solve this issue with his aggression once and for all.
5:15:57phoebut, yes, right - I've cooled down a bit, too
9:12:57ldbI think I'd headache if I recived a peice of code from 30 years ago with "idioms" been used everywhere and has to reverse engineering what's going on there
9:22:11ck_Here is some helpful code that subsumes many uses https://github.com/randomcorp/thread-first-thread-last-backwards-question-mark-as-arrow-cond-arrow-bang
9:22:58ck_(if you have some time, watch the linked talk, it is good fun)
9:23:04no-defun-allowedTry to cd to that directory without tab completion.
9:23:07fiddlerwoaroofI found that, in Clojure, you generally want to stick to just -> and ->>
9:23:20fiddlerwoaroofThe fancy ones turn into a mess quickly
9:23:45phantomicsno-defun-allowed use asterisks old-school style
12:12:26ldbI got the LCF ML from Nuprl3 running correctly independently. Now I can start develop my own ML dialect on this.
14:47:41pfdietzIt's interesting that the ML page on Wikipedia does not mention the connection to LCF (which I knew about, having been at Cornell around that time.)
14:49:22loke[m]phoe: why do I get the impression that our favourite troll is a CL version of Xah?
