[wnewman] because dan_b likes "you say entomatomy" jokes?

[noss] what is the terminology to separate lisp code as its textual
|
|
representation and the data is code language? i.e. what you pass to
|
|
READ and what you pass to EVAL?
|
|
[segv] you pass strings to read and forms to eval.
|
|
[segv] strings or streams.
|
|
[antifuchs] you pass streams to READ (;
|
|
[segv] what antifuchs said.
|
|
[antifuchs] unless your read is read-from-string, right (:
|

[eval] I hate my IRC client, it pops up everytime my name is said

say that I'm completely insane.

[antifuchs] nyef: so what? 37 say that you're the exact opposite (-:

[wnewman] Maybe 37 say he's a pleasant kind of insane, and 13 say

that he's a SBCL/x86 calling convention kind.

[dan-b] it would be nice if more people knew the difference

between i.e. and e.g.
|

[wnewman] If you write the canonical web browser to displace

|
Internet Explorer, and name it Evil Genius, then for at

least fifteen minutes afterwards you should have a good
|
|
conversational excuse to remind people of the

difference.

[Xof] *

[gusl] great

[gusl] and what was the other one which returns the function it's in?

[Xof] -ENOSENSE
|

[gusl] thanks, Xof. This will help me a lot in debugging.
|
|
[gusl] what does the ENOSENSE part mean, btw?

[jdz] gusl: it means that the question does not compute

[sdschulze] In the Hurd, you'll be able to write filesystems in Lisp.
|
|
[sdschulze] You can already write /dev/zero in Scheme.
|
|
[sdschulze] IIRC
|
|
[ayrnieu] how useful!
|
|
[sdschulze] and Ruby and Python
|
|
[Xof] I'm not going to be sarcastic at this point. I am simply going to hold
|
|
my head in my hands and say a short, silent prayer for humanity
|
|
[sdschulze] More complex filesystems are being discussed.

20:36 [lichtblau] so what are going to tell your children (once you've

20:36 [hefner] gravity?

20:36 [gilberth] Well, I'll tell them Netwon found out about gravity, not

because an apple fell from the tree, but a present.
|

20:37 [lichtblau] oh, of course!

20:37 [gilberth] And the present is from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_spaghetti_monster">the spaghetti monster</a> of

20:37 [lichtblau] gravity, the basic recipe for a romantic childhood story!

[pjb] The walls inside the lisp house are paperthin like in Japanese houses.

They're purely symbolic. Some other language may have reinforced

concrete interior walls. Choose where you want to live! ;-)

** discussion about how some Lisp functions are named after assembly instructions **
|
|
[Quadrescence] there's also DPB
|
|
[Quadrescence] Historically, the name ``dpb'' comes from a DEC PDP-10 assembly language instruction meaning ``deposit byte.''
|
|
[qu1j0t3] yes.
|
|
[qu1j0t3] on the other hand, TERPRI is named for the highest scoring word in a drunken scrabble game played between Gosper and Greenblatt on 14th March, 1977.
