17:37:59beachIf I could figure out how to install Linux on my Nexus 10, I would often prefer it, because books are much heavier. At least the ones I read.
17:39:03dloweyou know kindles are hackable, right? they're great little devices.
17:40:02ShinmeraKindles are good because the screen is like paper.
17:54:40doesthisworkbeach: "The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language" is a good non-prescriptive book on english, I only read the first 250 pages though, so I've barely started it.
18:05:40_deathEnglish is a nonprescriptive take on German ;)
18:07:11Bikegerman is a nonprescriptive take on proto indo european
1:01:08oniondmilez_: there is also https://github.com/joaotavora/sly ... choice and competition is healthy but theres basically at least two of everything and i need to start flipping coins soon
1:02:11oniondmilez_: there is also swank-js, for doing "slime" things but on a browser-connected JS repl.
1:11:35dmilez_onion: hrm between what to sides of the coins?
1:56:12dmilez_oh, i assumed that it was some other adventure time related to lisp
2:00:13onionLumpy Space Princess. also unrelated, thats how i imagine certain personas here in irc when they are all hot headed or high headed. current #otherchannel activity not withstanding
2:01:52dmilesAlso one can use Microsoft Comic Chat for IRC
2:15:33fouriconion: to be fair, sly is a fork of semi-fork of slime that tracks all of its features, so the experience is very similar
2:17:01fouricOladon: exactly what are you looking for?
2:17:06onionfouric: i figured so, im not sure i can understand the features on the page but i will check out the video dmilez_ linked
2:17:35fouriconion: if you're familiar with slime, then i recommend https://joaotavora.github.io/sly/#A-SLY-tour-for-SLIME-users for the lowdown on what sly adds
2:17:47fouricthe video might work too, but text is easier to scan quickly
2:18:23onionah nice, ty ! will be back after some coffee
2:19:11fouricOladon: if you're actually looking for a *forum* proper, then the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup appears reasonably active: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.lisp/
2:19:37fouriconion: np! i hope it serves you well, or, failing that, you at least discover that it is unfit for your needs as quickly as possible
2:19:40Bicyclidinei think they meant software to /run/ a forum.
2:23:12fouricdmilez_: historically, Emacs+SLIME has been *miles* ahead of other editors (a few commercial products possibly being the exception) in terms of Lisp development integration and features.
2:23:27fouric...although I, personally, haven't been keeping up on VS Code's features.
2:23:38Oladonfouric: Heh. Nice illustration of why it's been difficult to search for, though! :)
2:23:40fouricI suggest trying both. If you don't have time, Emacs+SLIME is the safer bet
2:24:07fouricOladon: happy to provide a case study for you lol
2:24:37Bikewasn't the y combinator website thing in lisp at some point?
2:24:54OladonIndeed, supposedly it was in Arc, but I can't find any mention of the forum code being open-sourced
2:25:46fouricOladon: https://github.com/wting/hackernews might be what you're looking for?
2:27:23Oladonfouric: HN isn't exactly a forum like I have in mind, though I suppose if that's all that's out there I might be able to reuse parts of it.
2:27:44fouricYeah, I was thinking just that...well, unfortunately, *I* can't help you there, sorry.
