But I didn't see any CHECK-TYPE in the PR.
9:51:09
hayley
Oh, the type specifier for CHECK-TYPE is not evaluated, so backquote won't work.
9:51:57
beach
OK, I'm confused, and I need to prepare lunch for my favorite coauthor, so I'll catch up later.
9:51:58
hayley
Line 4 of https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL/pull/217/files has a CHECK-TYPE form, no?
9:52:30
beach
Oh, I looked at the wrong diff. Sorry.
9:52:34
hayley
Mondenkind: Aha, now I realise why you and beach were talking about German yesterday.
9:53:59
beach
I would use the Vietnamese word for "beach" but it contains characters not allowed by IRC.

jackdaniel
the indentation of if seems to be off in this diff
9:55:28
hayley
Whoever said that people only examine the small pull requests was unfortunately very right.
9:56:04
jackdaniel
re backquote, (check-type code #.(1- char-code-limit)) would be fine if you can guarantee, that this limit won't change between reading the file and calling the function
9:56:25
Mondenkind
yeah, that's what I did
9:56:38

hayley: do you refer to this https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding ?
9:57:08
hayley
jackdaniel: Sort of, but someone made a point about this specific instance of bikeshedding once.

the email linked in this wiki entry references an email on bsd mailing list

as something that popularized the term among software developers

mfiano: what's his username?
11:51:40
Qwnavery
wait that's beach? ohh
11:52:56
Qwnavery
beach, may I ask what licensing you have on the Second-Climacs project?
11:57:26
mfiano
He will be back. Friday he usually has an extended lunch with a friend.
12:05:17
jackdaniel
Qwnavery: I think that beach licenses his libraries with bsd-2-clause to minimize noise from the vocal anti-gpl crowd ,)
12:05:51
mfiano
I do not see such a license on that project.
12:06:34
jackdaniel
me neither, what I'm speaking of is inferred from another talk

I am worried for a license change to the repository with all those contributors
12:07:53
mfiano
Not that it will probably be an issue, but you never know
12:09:44
jackdaniel
I think that if anything then contributors could be at problem because they've used the code without a license
13:57:33
beach
I'll reserve GPL for more unique applications like Clovetree.
13:58:01
mfiano
beach: The problem is there is no license specified in the repository currently, and you have contributors!
14:00:39
Bike
yeah but technically the people who wrote code still have copyright over what they wrote, so you can't decide on a license yourself
14:00:47
Bike
in practice sicl is probably not going to come up in court
14:01:21
beach
Well, SICL has had a license file for some time. This is for Second Climacs.
14:01:41
beach
The number of contributors is limited. I'll check with scymtym if he is OK with BSD.
14:01:55
Bike
i suppose this could be kind of a pain for cleavir. eck.
14:03:27
Bike
though only six people have made meaningful contributions, so it could be worse
14:03:48
beach
That's more than I remember. Who are they?
14:04:13
Bike
me, you, karlosz, heisig, scymtym, drmeister, jackdaniel... oh i guess hayley as well
14:04:23
Bike
the other contributions are just typo fixes and untabify
14:04:24
jackdaniel
ACTION waives all copyrights to beach
14:04:43
beach
Fair enough. We'll check with everyone.
14:05:00
Bike
"oh i guess" - was going off of "100 line changes or more" at first
14:05:11
mfiano
8 for SecondClimacs https://github.com/robert-strandh/Second-Climacs/graphs/contributors
14:08:57
mfiano
That is actually smaller than it looks

beach: Success on indentation on fill/linear/miser newlines! https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/2672#
14:09:36
mfiano
1 person changed git attributes file, 1 person changed asd file, 1 person changed TeX...so probably very few code authors and i bet most are typos

yitzi: Congratulations! Nice progress.
14:11:11
beach
mfiano: Yes, for my favorite coauthor it is likely just papers.
14:11:26
beach
... that would be idurand.

i thought of another thing that is easier to achieve in the CLIM-based specification browser: https://techfak.de/~jmoringe/specification-browser-5.ogv
18:59:20
jackdaniel
I had the same idea - tutorials with examples to execute (and tweak) inline
18:59:39
jackdaniel
not unlike notebooks I think
