Well they have way more expensive ones at other places
9:41:38
shinmera
Found it up to 120€, which is INSANE

In Switzerland I had to pay 0.- for antigen, and 99.- for PCR.

we will live with coronavirus by not knowing if we have it or not :)

i am hoping to go to els but presenting is out of the question unfortunately
9:58:37
shinmera
or rather :I, I suppose?
9:58:45
selwyn
i have to not fuck up my thesis
9:59:45
selwyn
first draft will be done very soon
10:01:21
selwyn
if i don't submit by mid-march there will be consequences
10:01:30
selwyn
but very doable. i can't get distracted though
10:02:00
shinmera
Yeah I wondered if that was why you hadn't been around in chat here
10:02:24
selwyn
i was simply too dumb to update the client
10:03:48
shinmera
Ah. Not really your fault we broke things
10:11:31
selwyn
we also published a paper just before the new year
10:11:40
selwyn
can't really believe i'm going to be done soon
10:12:06
selwyn
it looked almost impossible 18 months ago
10:13:55
shinmera
Well, same for Kandria lol
10:16:44
selwyn
it keeps getting better and better which i didn't think possible
10:17:03
shinmera
:u I don't know how to interpret that lol
10:18:04
shinmera
It is, and it's mostly Fred's work lol
10:18:10
shinmera
The earlier regions had al ot more of my work
15:59:02

i see the mystery of lichatters spam remains

Shinmera: do you happen to have some kind of editor for trial yet?

there was someone asking about game editors in #lispgames

But no, not for a long time.
19:24:25
shinmera
It's currently not really fitting with how trial is architectured.
19:34:17
shinmera
For instance, an editor would require something akin to a "project file format" that it could load, manipulate, and save, in order to be useful
19:34:20
shinmera
Trial has no such thing
19:34:45
shinmera
Obviously Kandria has an editor, but that's because I have specified a world format and a save state format for that project.
19:35:05
shinmera
I'm not yet convinced I have the right idea on how to go about that, so I have not tried to backport it into Trial.
19:37:04
shinmera
An editor would also likely require some kind of architecture that knows how to deal with various types of objects, and have some protocol to offer customised controls depending on the object type, etc.
19:37:14
shinmera
Trial does not even specify a UI toolkit yet :v
19:37:53
shinmera
Anyway, my point is that it doesn't exist yet, but it might at some far time in the future. It's definitely nice to be able to place stuff in an editor rather than in code.

so yesterday i learned about named-readtables

this will certainly simplify building a bunch of embedded DSLs

I have frankly found very sparse use of readtable shenanigans
19:40:01
shinmera
Though I also remember reader shenanigans being one of those "cool discoveries" when I learned lisp.
19:40:22
shinmera
But for many reasons I'm sure you'll discover they're often not a great tool :v
19:45:13
Colleen
perhaps i'm approaching my problem incorrectly
19:45:13

19:54:22

okay, yes, i'm doing it wrong and using named-readtables isn't going to help me with anything
19:54:23
drakonis

19:56:52
drakonis
not right now anyways.
