Well we'll see, I'm trying to set up erc on emacs and registration isn't being very co-operative

is there any analogous member function for checking if an element is a member of a 1D vector or just convert vector to list?

jeosol: The entire chapter on "sequences" contains functions that work both on lists and on vectors.

There are multiple help modules. Try ``/msg minion help kind'', where kind is one of: "lookups", "helping others", "adding terms", "aliasing terms", "forgetting", "memos", "avoiding memos", "nicknames", "goodies", "eliza", "advice", "apropos", "acronyms".

hmm well I just got it to work so I think I'm gonna leave it alone for a nice long while :D

These automatically update all your packages things seem like a version control nightmare.

pfdietz: I'm not sure what the context of your comment is exactly, but I think a really interesting point in the design space is dependency sets that update automatically but are also tracked in version control. That way when something somewhere breaks you can 'git bisect' to find the problem. I can sometimes do this with nixpkgs dependencies, https://github.com/lukego/blog/issues/17

It was referring to an earlier discussion here of Ultralisp. Your comment is interesting and useful, thank you.

lukego: Having a bisect command available to use is always very handy. hg bisect works well for me!

I'm just thinking about how to take that to the next level now. Current crazy idea is a Lisp-based DSL for writing network dataplane applications that transpiles them into various targets e.g. CPU/GPU/FPGA. So have to learn a bit about CUDA and HDL now... which is a fun problem to have :)
12:59:18
easye
Know of any good hosted CUDA solutions? I don't need my aging equipment's fans wheezing around me.

ACTION been meaning to get to GPU/FPGA now that I have a reasonable CFFI working in abcl-1.6.0

EC2 seems to be a one stop shop for CPU + GPU + FPGA now. GCE does GPU at least too. Just recently realized that Amazon F1 FPGA instances provide ~1Tbps of CPU<->FPGA I/O bandwidth (8 x PCIe3 x8) and so it should be fine for doing really high-end development. $13/hour but I think you'd only run the big iron about 1% of the time during dev anyway.

I have a bunch of servers full of e.g. 100Gbps network cards at home but I think I'll move my testing over to EC2 with FPGAs pretending to be NICs under heavy load. Safe the noisy boxes at home and their care and feeding.
13:03:19
lukego
I moved from Switzerland to Sweden recently and was tempted to leave the boxes behind, but they ended up being pretty easy in a moving van.
13:03:59
lukego
pfdietz: yeah. I had all the servers in a cool cellar before, but at my new digs I don't know if I'll be able to keep them happy in summer.

hi, is it possible to log all sbcl output to a file (but keep printing it as usual)?

If I knew what Instagram was I’d Instagram these. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ht9VDfBH/1574603679.JPG
