This is the year of the Lisp Machine desktop.

Here's an online Medley Interlisp session on my Chromebox. Your turn: show off your Lisp Machine environment.

@RL_Dane @amoroso reminds me of the mono apple IIGS desktop.

@RL_Dane @amoroso speaking of internet rabbit holes….

The interlisp desktop reminded me of mono IIGS so I went digging for pictures of it. I was some dozen tabs deep when this notification came in.

How do I get a pro-Debian glyph?!

@amoroso @RL_Dane confirmed. (Also need a lispy one)

@RL_Dane @amoroso perfect. No notes.

@RL_Dane @amoroso @amin I’m working through a book about it now. Very interesting language. I still dream that someone could write a truly great intro book to the material—- but I haven’t found or written it yet. If you can figure out Debian alternatives, I’m sure Lisp will be conquerable.

@sgharms@techhub.social avatar

@RL_Dane @amoroso @amin yea. Rainbow paired parens, indentation, and simple functions.

@RL_Dane @amoroso @amin

So I'm currently learning. Here's my setup. The top window is my running execution context. In Lisp we don't have to recompile between edits. We can write a function in the file buffer (bottom half) and do a key combo to (re-)evaluate the definition and clobber the old one. So, for me, programming is building small functions, evaluating them into the upper half, using them in higher-order functions, rinse/wash/repeat.

This code is taken from Land of Lisp, a book i'm working through that is far from perfect, but better than many (as a C person you know that vibe).

@phf @amoroso @RL_Dane @amin highlighting bindings sounds helpful. What does it mean :)

sgharms,
@sgharms@techhub.social avatar

@phf @amoroso @RL_Dane @amin very interesting. I thought interlisp had a window to see something similar?

sgharms,
@sgharms@techhub.social avatar

@nutilius @RL_Dane @amoroso @amin negative! It’s “slimv” or slime for eMacs but for vim. Parenthesis editing (“paredit”) and rainbow pairs comes along as part of that.

@nutilius @RL_Dane @amoroso @amin my 3 years of emacs introduced my left forearm to splints, my left fingers to tingling and my neurostructure to acupuncture. It’s a good os, But a cruel editor.

    Hmmm... did anyone ever think about making a sort of local bulletin board system with a small computer/old phone/sbc? The machine provides a wifi hot spot, but when logged on people only have access to a single local website where they can post messages to one another.

    One could even have messages carried between multiple of these systems style. Kind of an alternet.

    @scruss @kyonshi so glad I blundered into this thread. I ran a telegard BBS back in the day and miss that internet-augments-meatspace life. Is there a good internet based bbs toolset?

    OK seriously is there no new de facto canonical or book since Big Nerd Ranch went out? Also look for similar for

    sgharms, to linguistics
    @sgharms@techhub.social avatar

    I have a #linguistics or #english or #semiotics / #semantics #vocabulary question. Is there a way to refer to misattribution of reference to a second-order relationship to the referent?

    Examples:

    In the #scifi “Robots of Dawn” series, Lijah Bailey (from a Earth-is-one-giant-city) meets Gladia (from a tee-hee-it’s-not-the-antebellum-South-but-with-robots-not-slaves-or-is-it) planet. Smelling flowers, which are not on his world, he avers:

    “These flowers smell like perfume!”

    Much chuckles for the reader.

    Or, today at W58/Lexington Ave across from the new DKNY ad:

    “Wow that lady looks so much like Kaia Gerber!”

    The lady in question is Cindy Crawford, supermodel, and mother of Kaia Gerber.

    “This song is so pretty. It almost sounds like something the Beatles would have done.”

    Song is Paul McCartney, solo.

    Any ideas?

    @mrcompletely @flockofnazguls I read this whole thread in hopes that I could find what you found so compelling in DM, but 3 reads of the original series and it just feels like a basic sci fi story. Like: yeah, well he cheesed a lot of people off, so they came for him. But he was the Mahdi, so guess how that went.

    Such a weird discussion. Was he implying the Ixians were violating Jihad and that house corrino needed to investigate?

    @flockofnazguls I was really saddened by how LK became a parody of itself after S3 but that scene might have given Shore a shot in this house.

    @MylesRyden @flockofnazguls yeah I just did my first bare metal Linux install since osx came out (2001?) and was pretty pleased.

    Did a Debian core only install and built out a “focused developer” build: tmux, vim, some languages, and then Wayland + sway + browser/pdf reader.

    It runs great on old hardware and documentation wasn’t awful. ChatGPT has invested a lot of stuff too so crawling dozens of shitty forums is avoidable too.

    Here's what the fans are saying about my recent album:

    "Synthesizes the vocabulary of electro-industrial and dub into a vibrant, hallucinatory sea to swim or drown in" - Nikki

    "Sounds like the best scifi videogame the Amiga 2000 could ever hope to muster" - Groove M.D.

    "Techno apocalypse vibes" - slaughtersongsfan

    @etherdiver really digging this record. I’m playing “returnal” and am a huge fan of Carpenter and his lineage. Awesome work growing an indie audience in the Fedi
