<0> fwiw, my workstation is an IBM IntelliStation, not a Dell PC
<1> it's not really my scene, but I learned that one from a guy who did pen-tests for ISS
<1> thought it was funny
<2> Adamant: "anything to make a deal, keeps our shareholders happy"
<1> the AS/400 really does have a neat architecture that prevents a fair amount of security problem
<2> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/ was the documentary, mentioned
<2> well, that's a url, mapped onto a conventional web-page, but the documentary is described there, heh
<1> the power of sleep compels me
<1> night



<2> luego
<2> for what it's worth, PBS has been showing a series of documentaries about 'string theory'. web site section, for it http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/
<3> re
<4> agh. somebody should do a suvey of grammatical errors in texts vs. text input field size.
<5> hard to understand what you meant. A text window would seem to be implied but that would conflict with 'texts' which implies a textarea or even a corpus.
<6> antifuchs: Visual size or number of characters available?
<7> moreover it's probably a secondary factor.
<4> ingvar: visual size... but I hate horizontal scrollbars anyway (:
<8> and another tiny patch contributing to a beautiful xft xemacs fixing up incorrect dpi settings..
<9> I'm working on a command line utility written in Common Lisp that I want to be portable across implementations. I have all the ASDF stuff working fine, but I still need a portable way of invoking the interpreter and calling the entry point with the user's command-line options. Is there a canonical way of doing that, or should I just write my own shell script?
<7> dfranke: saveinitmem :executable and :script work the same on MS-Windows and Linux. Perhaps it even work the same on all unix systems.
<7> Or you mean accross CL implementations?
<9> yes, across CL implementations.
<7> Across CL implementations, you'll have to write your own shell scripts, or use cl-launch.
<7> (My first answer was for clisp across platforms, sorry).
<7> I've never used cl-launch.
<9> ok, cl-launch looks like what I'm looking for.
<9> Thanks.
<10> (cos 1w120) -> 0.96038064262210990534497063559652w0. Maxima says 0.960380642622109905344970635596516591. Yay!
<0> rtoy_: that's cool
<10> I cheated. I used fdlibm for arg reduction. Otherwise (cos 1w50) signals an overflow error.
<11> emacs/slime/sbcl on a hackintosh. how emacs is nice on mac!
<12> aquamacs
<12> is there a 'lazy' list length check?
<13> what's that?
<12> if you want to see if your list length is greater than 4, without going through your whole list sequentially, but stopping at 4
<11> what is the most common way to install asdf-loadable packages on macosx?
<12> but nm can make my own
<6> beef: (nthcdr 4 mylist) ?
<12> nil if it's smaller than 4 ?
<12> clhs nthcdr
<14> http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/f_nthcdr.htm
<12> yep, cool
<15> An implementation like SBCL is able to optimize construct like (< (length list) 4) by avoiding the computation of the length first (I think, by checking at the ***embly output.)



<12> wow
<12> that's cool
<16> STYLE-WARNING: implicitly creating new generic function STREAM-READ-CHAR-WILL-HANG-P
<12> I should code and profile/optimize later >:(
<16> slime freezes up emacs with that error
<17> araujo: correct package?
<18> That's not an error, araujo.
<16> Zhivago, i am using slime-cvs , emacs-cvs
<16> the weird thing is that it was working fine
<16> Riastradh, ?
<3> araujo: A style warning is more like a note.
<16> yes, well, it is a warning message .. but it doesn't get to work
<17> araujo: in the lisp system, try (apropos "STREAM-READ-CHAR-WILL-HANG-P")
<3> araujo: It tells you that this isn't good style, but that it's ok code.
<18> araujo, a warning is not an error. A style warning is certainly not an error.
<17> it's an indication that something may have gone wrong -- unless you expect slime to create that generic
<16> Zhivago, no output message
<12> is it possible to have a method with variable arity?
<18> Zhivago, I'm pretty sure it's to be expected.
<17> good :)
<18> There's no DEFGENERIC for STREAM-READ-CHAR-NO-HANG in swank-gray.lisp.
<12> lisp-stype programming: is unit test coverage nazism needed as much as other programming languages?
<12> say "code has to have 60%+ test code coverage!"
<16> mmm
<16> Riastradh, Zhivago , well, M-x slime , gets stuck in that message , what could be wrong?
<18> araujo, is there nothing else in the *inferior-lisp* buffer?
<16> Riastradh, i just check that, nothing else
<6> beef: "yes and no". You can have optional parameters, but I believe you cannot dispatch on optional parameters.
<16> checked*
<18> araujo, can you type stuff in the *inferior-lisp* buffer to be evaluated?
<12> ok
<12> no rest then :P
<19> cods: I don't think there's any such optimization in SBCL. what in the ***embly output makes you think that?
<13> cods: I'm not sure. P***ing in an infinite list makes it loop
<6> Well, the same goes for a &rest (or &keys).
<16> Riastradh, nothing :-(
<18> araujo, if you type C-c C-c in that buffer, what happens?
<12> another question: I'm using defstruct for a simple data type, how can I redefine make-xxx myself?
<15> jsnell: I checked with (dis***emble (compile nil '(lambda (l) (declare (list l)) (< (length l) 4))))
<18> Beef_, use the :CONSTRUCTOR option.
