Yes. Germans didn't go in for patronymics for whatever reason, unlike Jews, Scandinavians, the English, and the Welsh.

I fond it interesting that some jewish surnames are very german but one can predict they're more used in jewish families

waleee
the rest of the surnames would sound jewish in German I guess (heavily nature-inspired)

Invented by Austro-Hungarian bureaucrats, who could be paid to give you better ones.

my surname is that of a german town without the last two chars, has nothing to do with each other, but sometimes useful to say for one to write it down correctly :D and also not so often which is good

so coming back ontopic, they should have used a CL tool for figuring out that those names are silly

jcowan: in j, package names go after explicitly qualified symbols, rather than before

Never tell a Hungarian he is backwards. You can tell a Chinese that, but they will loftily ignore you.

Hello, if someone has a moment to spare; I'm having some trouble getting quicklisp to recognize foreign libraries
7:34:32
_death
if you have the libsqlite3 shared library somewhere, you can check that the loader/cffi find it, see /etc/ld.so.conf and cffi:*foreign-library-directories* respectively
7:37:36
_death
oh right, ancient uffi.. well, it has *foreign-library-search-paths* according to that form
7:37:59
Qwnavery
pvi it's installing, is there any reference for it or is it apart of the standard lib?

Qwnavery: can you do (defparameter *DB* (sqlite:connect "mydatabase.db")), for instance?
7:43:10
Qwnavery
Yeah, is there any tangible performance benefit for using clsql for sqlite over sqlite?
7:43:35
Qwnavery
if not then it's probably not worth trying to get foreign librarys working that's all
7:46:56
Qwnavery
you can tell, yeah I'm new. Apologies for being a nuisance. Thanks for your time. Really appreciated.
