Trying to confirm that I'm not doing anything more stupid than usual, the magic for opening a Linux device file with OPEN is :DIRECTION :IO :IF-EXISTS :OVERWRITE, yes?

Hrmph. Typical. The device file in question enforces stricter permissions than the filesystem declares.

Which, of course, means that I need to run the program which accesses this device as root. Great going, Linux!

phoe: IIRC the c-l.net version can only be updated by Vladimir Sedachv, while for the github repo jasom also commit rights. So jasom could accept the PR but not update c-l.net

well, "vector animation" can mean a million different things, from moving line graphs to flash-style cartoons

I was imagining displaying a vector of objects as it changes, like when you want to illustrate a sorting algorithm.

but in any case, if you're drawing in svg, then I guess you need to link to a SVG rendering library

White_Flame
I don't think much native CL code has been written for that yet, but there's a lot of ffi libraries out there

There is a page in the Common Lisp HyperSpec that explains the rules for how to interpret the expressions in a body, i.e., what expressions are considered to be declarations, documentation strings, and body forms. Does anyone remember where that page is to be found?

A daily reminder that the Lisp Guild exists and currently has four free tasks for volunteers (maybe you!) to pick up. If you want some working experience with real-life Lisp on well-defined tasks to be done, then https://github.com/Lisp-Guild/lisp-todo/projects/1 <- click here and grab one. If you want to post new tasks so you get them done and others get experience - you're free to join up as well.

phoe: Actually, the Guild is a good TODO list, even if the same person who defined the task ultimately also ends up doing it.
