| whaack: | diana_coman: EOD Report: I worked a few extra hours on TheFleet project today, close to 12h. I did about 2hr of writing, no Spanish. I have some good news. I was lucky to figure out that the servers that returned IRC-ERR_NOTREGISTERED-MESSAGE in response to /list were complaining because I didn't wait for them to acknowledge my random nick. In other words, very few / no networks require you register to issue /list. I have a list of | [02:17] |
| whaack: | just under 700,000 channels right now. I am missing channels from roughly 100 networks. They mostly offline, but some have a few rules that are messing up my script, such as "you must be connected for 60s before grabbing the channel list" | [02:17] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: not bad; do take & keep notes re networks' various requirements, as they will surely come in handy at a later time too. | [05:33] |
| diana_coman: | you'll have quite a nice article coming out of all this too. | [05:33] |
| adlai: | unsolicited advice, for whaack: copying guitar tabulature is not sufficient cause for owning a dedicated printer; moreover, your musicianship will likely benefit from time spent reading and writing the scores yourself, and your finer musculature might benefit from a wider variety of cramps. | [16:46] |
| adlai: | wonders whether the truly manic superhackers can typeset tabulature so that the inkjet's servomotors provide appropriate percussive accompaniment while the human practices from an earlier copy | [16:51] |
| whaack: | adlai: what do you mean my finer musculature would benefit from a wider variety of cramps? | [17:04] |
| trinque: | he's doing his idiot adlai schtick where he breaks the fourth wall and talks to the tv audience for laughs. | [17:04] |
| whaack: | ah | [17:05] |
| diana_coman: | adlai: unsolicited advice is for writing on your own blog, not in here; do write in here when you have some unsolicited but useful work you want to showcase. | [17:08] |
| adlai: | thank you for the admonition, lady of the oldcoloredskeletonphotochannel | [17:09] |
| whaack: | trinque: do you understand how/when (format t "example") decides to flush its output to the slime repl? I had to put the form (finish-output nil) after it in one of my loops to get it to print | [17:09] |
| whaack: | another q is when the debugger throws an error it has the option [*PROCESS-INPUT] Continue reading input, what is the difference between this and [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level. | [17:13] |
| BingoBoingo: | whaack: You've got a comment | [20:19] |
| whaack: | BingoBoingo: I saw! and am typing a response rn | [20:20] |
| trinque: | whaack: start reading here, and click the blue stuff https://eklitzke.org/stdout-buffering | [21:23] |
| trinque: | second question would be easier with moar context, i.e. a paste of the contents of repl | [21:25] |
| trinque: | maybe they're equivalent, and the abort option is common to all slime session errors. | [21:26] |
| whaack: | trinque: i'll read the link. the process input / abort is a general q. i see both options appear during errors. I would like to be able to send a signal that pauses evaluation (say i.e. mid loop) , be able to type stuff into the repl to change the environment, and then continue the evaluation | [21:27] |
| whaack: | process input looked like what I wanted, but yeah it appears to be the same as the abort option | [21:28] |
| trinque: | https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Debugger.html | [21:32] |
| trinque: | typically folks set a breakpoint, let their program run until it hits the breakpoint, and then fiddle around using the debugger. | [21:33] |
| trinque: | this isn't unique to common lisp | [21:33] |
| whaack: | trinque: the first link cleared up an important confusion, ty. | [21:58] |
| whaack: | i often redirect to files and tail -f them, and i now know why output is often delayed. | [21:59] |
