  • [x] REPL line editing

@simon_brooke

I plan to bring CLIM input editing stream on board, but now I'm focusing on javascript interop. And I thought that it looks pretty :)

This editor and repl runs fully as a wasm module in a browser (no installation, no communication with the server).

@simon_brooke

that aside (and being curious) - what would be the state of the art in this case? lispworks ide? emacs + slime?

Using handler-bind to have a sneak peek at inner workings of a non-graphical function (i.e sort):

I'm sometimes using this technique to debug programs - it could be considered to be an evolution of printf-debugging :-)

@amoroso

Yes, but I was pretty stressed when giving a lightning talk :) Now I'm preparing for the trip back home tomorrow.

Btw, when there was a lecture about defining python functions, I was about to ask why didn't they call the operator DEFPUN :-)

"(...) The developer talks about the weaknesses of sudo, and how it has a large possible attack surface. For example, sudo supports network access, LDAP configurations, other types of plugins, and much more."

... as opposed to systemd, amright?

Very well-put rationale against LLM

[gentoo-dev] RFC: banning "AI"-backed (LLM/GPT/whatever) contributions to Gentoo

@amoroso

I agree with the sentiment. When something is developed with help of LLM it should be clearly labelled.

There are two (imo) interesting angles to that though:

  1. I'd hate to be forced to declare to everyone on each step, that my software is not developed with the copyright violation - that's putting a burden on person who wants to have nothing to do with it; it resembles an "opt-out" scheme with an "unsubscribe" link in the spam mail

  2. that leads to the second thing; I'm never clicking these links, because it is clearly saying "this is a real email" and I would be surprised if it were not saved;; labeling data on the internet as "non-AI content" would be a very delicious treat to rampant AI scrappers

@jackdaniel@functional.cafe avatar

@amoroso hah!

A silver lining is that when the hype fades, scammers cash out and people get disillusioned, the second AI winter will come; but this time LISP will be fine and MS will take a hit instead.

Probably not, but hey, it sounds good at least ;)

Function reuse is the father of all performance regressions.

I've refactored drawing transformed text in McCLIM. Results are:

https://turtleware.eu/static/paste/benchmark.org

Numbers in before and after columns are "operations/s", where the operation is drawing 10 lines of text.

My favourite number is "400x faster".

Working on something for too long leads to an unjustified frustration with the only cure being pushing it out of the door. Either way, enjoy :)

If anyone has time, then writing a guide that clearly spells out when we should define methods for:

  • initialize-instance
  • reinitialize-instance
  • shared-initialize

I'm sure that would make a valuable resource.

Wow! Adds as the first-class citizen feature in Outlook. Not surprising on itself, but the audacity is strong in this one..

One thing I do hope we get from the AI nonsense that's flying around everywhere is the death of boilerplate and bullshit privilege-gates like cover letters and entrance essays and such.

In many cases if you have something that can be done by AI it's a sign that thing needs to just die or should be automatic. And yeah, I'm looking right at programming languages -- if you have sufficient boilerplate in a language that AI autocomplete is valuable then fix your language to remove the need.
