I was able to hack together a build script for these font variants in a few hours, whereas I have no idea how I would have done it without Roswell.

I think a script should be two forms: load the system, apply a function with command line args.. the rest belongs in the system, which can be depended upon by other lisp code
1:57:18
_death
anyway, been using terminus (with modified lambda) for a decade now, methinks.. all other fonts are unbearable :d
2:16:57
_death
if you change the font size it looks very different.. I started with a smaller size but years take a toll

In a script, you must have a read eval loop, such as the reading and evaluation of later forms DEPENDS on the evaluation of earlier forms.
2:27:49
pjb
If you don't have it or don't need it, then you have a mere program that you can pre-compile.
2:28:57

Note: cl-launch doesn't allows you to make scripts, since it wants to compile your source before running it!
2:29:23
pjb
(this is the reason why in the end, I don't use, and cave in, and just transformed all my scripts into mere programs).
2:36:09
pjb
_death: well, sometimes you want scripts. For example, when you need to adapt, at run-time, to the environment.

Does it make sense that (local-time:parse-timestring "2020-01-01") -> @2019-12-31T19:00:00.000000-05:00
4:12:27
drmeister
Hmm, maybe that's why - maybe I'm parsing 2020-01-01 in GMT and I'm in EST and so it's printing 2020-01-01/GMT in EST and the world is a sphere?
4:14:19
ck_
but it's the other way around, you're parsing 2020-01-01 as EST, which gets printed as GMT-offset
4:16:32
drmeister
If I parse 2020-01-01 midnight EST wouldn't that be 2020-01-01 5:00 am in the GST timezone?
4:19:02
drmeister
All I'm sure about is you europeans disappear from IRC in my evening and show up just before I collapse in bed. :-)

drmeister
If I force my timezone to UTC then parsing and printing gives the expected result.
4:23:32
ck_
and what does the '@' signify in the line you pasted here a moment ago? on that paste, the 'z' is for zulu / utc, right
4:42:11
drmeister
The Naggum paper explains it. If I provide the date but not the time I get ... "absolute time with time omitted, defaulting to 00:00:00Z."
4:43:03
drmeister
That's what I get for my pollyanna assumption that by leaving out the time it would just assume my timezone.
5:17:02
ck_
so the "-05:00" is a timezone signifier instead of an offset? I don't think I've ever seen that before

Does anyone recall having seen the term "contents vector" for the slot storage of standard objects, perhaps in the AMOP? Or did I make it up?
7:29:32
beach
I specifically meant the term "contents vector". I don't think "slot index" is used, but "slot location" is.

What are your favorite educational micro-LISP implementations? Like Norvig wrote in Python?
9:04:30

Probably sl3.c, which floats around in several places. It even has a proper reader (somehow in C). I can't think of many small Common Lisp implementations.
9:07:02
ArthurStrong
By the way. Once upon a time I was reading a book about Lisp. ANd there was something like this in preface: "LISP is a good prototyping language..." Can anyone remember what book called LISP prototyping language in preface or somewhere near beginning?

jackdaniel
please stick to the channel topic which is Common Lisp (other lisps may be discussed on ##lisp)
9:14:14
jackdaniel
maybe, but people interested in common lisp and operators of this channel decided that moving would be a lot of effort for little gain
9:14:20

CLISP is an implementation of Common Lisp, the only acronym that I believe is widely accepted as that is CL.
