More interesting for me, is his contribution to the observation that the event horizon has an informational invariant.

easye: have a look at: http://www.jp-petit.org/MPLA-singularite.pdf https://www.youtube.com/user/JPPETITofficiel https://www.jp-petit.org/science/Le_Modele_Cosmologique_Janus.pdf

pjb: Not sure what to make of _Le Modele Cosmologique_ as a text. But certainly a good thing to read on this day of sorrow.

In case anyone needs a bit of entertainment, I'd suggest "The New Cosmology" (Stanislaw Lem, short story in "A Perfect Vacuum")

ELS'18 was already announced at ELS'17. The final dates were announced in October'17.

I don't know which mailing lists you guys are subscribed to, but https://filebox.tymoon.eu//file/TVRVeU9BPT0=
11:12:35
Shinmera
Well, the authoritative source is linked on the website, which is https://lists.lrde.epita.fr/listinfo/elsconf
11:12:41

Didier Verna originated and then the list sent it, possibly after an unknown delay

Shinmera: I registered to ELS this morning, never got a confirmation email though, is it normal?
14:09:25
Shinmera
It should only display that if it already sent the email. Are you sure it didn't land in spam or something?

(make-array 16) #| --> #(0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0) |# creates a vector of 16 elements, not a matrix (a 2D array).

borei: the question was for a url to the documentation of gl:uniform-matrix. If want some help. Obnviously you cannot read the documentation so we will have to read it for you.
15:31:58
pjb
Still no url. If you want us to do all the work, you should pay us. The url, or bitcoins!
15:45:10
borei
but glUniformMatrix4fv (the documentation i was reading) - just array of float numbers
16:54:19
Shinmera
borei: Also, as far as I know, gl:uniform-matrix-4/3/2fv also just takes a flat CL array of data.

jmercouris
I didn't see it in any of the charts, are there really so few people using Lisp?
17:08:20
jmercouris
Do we have any way to estimate how many people are using it? any proxy measures?
17:27:16
pjb
World wide, I'd guess there are between 60 and 100 companies using lisp. between 300 and 500 CLispers, worldwide.
17:27:54
whoman
i would increase it, there are many hobbiests, unknown bloggers, nonirc users, obscure github projects
17:29:11
whoman
counting up common-lisp.net projects, github.com, gitlab, bitbucket, savannah, ... i would say less than half for sure are not employed for doing lisp , and less so at actual lisp companies
17:40:01

i dont remember who shared this link with me, but i want to thank them, i am reading it now : https://wps.aw.com/wps/media/objects/5771/5909832/PDF/Luger_0136070477_1.pdf

Xach: can you get log5 into sharplispers ? Gary King can't transfer ownership on his own, see https://github.com/gwkkwg/log5/issues/2#issuecomment-372848806
18:06:44

the Github docs say "Users must have repository creation permissions within the receiving organization before they can transfer a repository that they individually own"
18:08:43
Shinmera
Seems good to me. Otherwise you could just push garbage repositories into other orgs, right?
18:09:43
fe[nl]ix
and the owners of the target org would receive a notification that they can approve or reject that request
18:10:48
fe[nl]ix
when I asked Sunrin Shimura for the ownership of CIM I got an email asking me to approve the transfer
18:10:53
shenghi
That could, and probably would, still lead to a lot of spam for popular (or unpopular) org owners.
18:12:33
shenghi
Don't underestimate the collective internet's power to thoroughly abuse otherwise perfectly good ideas.

jmercouris: really really rough estimate of Lisp usage might be https://api.github.com/search/users?q=language:Common%20Lisp
18:24:42
fouric
Not entirely sure if I actually did that right, but the results *appear* to show...624 users with Common Lisp repositories.
18:26:23
fouric
(that's obviously only a small fraction of total Lisp users, but if you compare it to the number of developers using other languages (Python, JavaScript) on the same platform then you can at least begin to get *relative* scales)
18:29:38
fouric
You could get slightly higher numbers if you settle for "Lisp-family" developers (as opposed to CL), because then you get to include Clojure (9.4K), Scheme (1.5K), and Racket (1.5K).

js devs get fresh idea from teacher and markets it on their parents money, lispers are more like nerd monks
