<char> What is the expected behavior to call a function that has both &optional and &key without providing all optional but providing key?
<aeth> you have to provide the optional first
<aeth> ime with write-string/write-line
<char> so basically: "don't do that"
<White_Flame> SBCL even gives you a style warning when you define a function that way, but it's not illegal
<White_Flame> just consider that the keywords are in the same &optional scope as your optionals, so yeah in-order fill-in
<White_Flame> (the keyword list being one of the optional things, its contents obviously being non-positional)
<jcowan_> †IMO use &optional *or* &key, not both. "Entweder transsubstantiation oder consubstantiation but in no case subsubstantiation." --my cousin James
<char> thanks. I would want to, but I can't control what others do
<char> s/would/wouldn't
<White_Flame> just turn the optionals into more keywords
<char> for sure
<pjb> char: notably in CL there are 2 functions that have both optional and key arguments, and they're a known pitfall.
<pjb> char: read-from-string
Oladon has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<pjb> write-string, write-line, parse-namestring and there's also a macro: with-output-to-string.

gigamonkey has quit [Quit: ERC (IRC client for Emacs 27.2)]
<pjb> kakuhen: AFAIK, not. Note that VST 3 API is a C++ API. This makes things more difficult.
gigamonkey has joined #commonlisp
<pjb> kakuhen: also, VST is designed to make plug-ins, and it's difficult to make a plug-in in CL. You'd have to use ecl, and generate a library, and load libecl.so along.
<kakuhen> yeah, I figured vst may be hard
<pjb> kakuhen: clasp which integrates "natively" with C++ would be nice, but I think it lost the ability to generate libraries like ecl can.
<kakuhen> maybe CoreAudio will be a bit simpler since it's mostly a C API
<pjb> Indeed.
yp has joined #commonlisp
<kakuhen> but I have a reference book on Core Audio and it's pretty complicated (for me at least)
<kakuhen> a lot of basic data structures it uses, I dont know how you'd make the equivalents on Lisp
<kakuhen> e.g. ring buffers
yp is now known as Guest7593
<pjb> kakuhen: one solution would be to implement a VST module that would forward stuff on a socket, and have a CL process connected to do the job. of course, it would then be much less efficient. Perhaps going thru shared memory would be feasible.
<mfiano> an array with a pointer or 2
<pjb> kakuhen: I implemented a CoreMIDI interface.

<Guest63> Question - I'm getting "no dispatch function defined for #\I"
<Guest63> I know the solution is (named-readtables:in-readtable cmu-infix:syntax)
<Guest63> But for some reason it sometimes works / sometimes doesn't
<Guest63> Any ideas?
<Guest63> Appears I have to run (named-readtables:in-readtable cmu-infix:syntax) in REPL and cannot just run it as part of a file
<phoe> sometimes, what do you mean?
<phoe> oh, yes
<phoe> if you want the readtable in the REPL, you have to switch to it in the REPL
<phoe> a file-only IN-READTABLE only affects the file compiler, same as a file-only IN-PACKAGE
<Guest63> Thanks!
<Guest63> Does it cascade down in a file? E.g. if I have a file with the above, and then have a "(load ...)", will the file loaded have it?
<Guest63> I assume not, but checking
<phoe> a proper solution is to use ASDF instead
<Guest63> Yeah, I will do that later. Only so much complexity I can handle at this stage :)

<beach> Sure, but we have a list where the first element is a function.
<phoe> oh! then it makes sense
<phoe> (apply #'funcall list)
<beach> So I guess it could be replaced by (apply (first list) (rest list))
<phoe> yes
<beach> But then, the list is computed by LOOP, so an intermediate variable would have to be introduced to hold the result.

<beach> Here is an interesting project suggestion for someone who is not too busy: Write a "magit"-like pane for McCLIM. And presumably call it "McGIT".
<beach> Such a pane will be a nice ingredient to have in an IDE. But it could also be used independently.
<beach> I would think it could be attractive to non-Emacs users, for instance.
<shka> hmm
<shka> sounds like a good idea

<shka> you could visualize history easier then with just plaintext

<beach> Clickable, and also with context menus.
<beach> Perfect for CLIM presentations.
<splittist> Don't forget the fun of making people look for the Super key (:
<shka> how one would hook in editor into that?
<beach> This project could be done in fairly small increments, and it could be useful very soon. I mean, many people use only very basic GIT features anyway, so it would be useful to such people almost immediately.
<beach> Editor integration might have to wait until the IDE is more developed.
<beach> The project would include an (optional) application frame so that the entire thing could be run as an application.

<jmercouris> pjb: are you suggesting I reimplement swank in JS?
IPmonger has quit [Client Quit]
<pjb> No.
<Bike> i think cl jupyter has some js stuff, let me check
<jmercouris> Are you suggesting I start a lisp image from inside the JS main thread and listen for output from lisp?
<jmercouris> Like a pipe or something?
<pjb> jmercouris: just add swank as dependency in the asd, and (swank:start-server :port <some-port>) in the run, before starting hunchentoot.
<jmercouris> I think you misunderstand
<jmercouris> I want a nodejs program callable from Lisp code
<pjb> Oh. Then implementing swank on nodejs could be a nice way to do it.
<pjb> Otherwise, you can easily send requests containing lisp sexps, and evaluate them.
<pjb> It would then be trivial to write a RSRPL where you read as exp, send a request to your web app with it, read the response and print it. loop.
<lisp123> defgeneric & defmethod - are they independent of package namespaces (i.e. if I do a defgeneric in package xyz and a defmethod on same name in package abc - it will work?)
<pjb> lisp123: yes, entirely.
<lisp123> pjb: Thanks! :)
<pjb> (progn (defgeneric #1=#:foo (x) (:method ((x t)) 'generic) (:method ((x string)) (format nil "foo-~A" x))) (mapcar '#1# '(42 "yep"))) #| --> (generic "foo-yep") |#

<Bike> iiiii see
<yitzi> I have a kind of literate programming tool like cweb that can call whatever Jupyter kernel you want, but I haven't used it in a while. No JS, no user input. Just using the kernels to execute code. Kind of an example from the other end of the spectrum.

<pjb> lisp123: that's not how nntp works.
<pjb> lisp123: posts can be cancelled by its originator, if he made prosivions to this effect (include a key that let him cancel the article). But once the nntp servers have spread the data, it cannot be deleted. Someone will have a copy.
<pjb> lisp123: cancelling an article doesn't mean deleting it.
<lisp123> pjb: thanks. does that mean there's nothing we can do about the spammers?
<pjb> mostly, yes.
<lisp123> thats a shame
cage has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<pjb> Now, since there's a lot less nntp traffic, only a few servers remain. The articles could be removed or filtered in a server.
<pjb> This is why I suggested to install a private (and centralized) nntp server.
<pjb> With some kind of authentication to allow posting.
<lisp123> I remember you said this before - then I googled nntp but its well over my head
<pjb> It's a sad situation, but technically nowadays, a single server can easily serve all the nntp users.
<lisp123> Thanks - the last link looks most useful
<pjb> Since you'd want to add features, it may not be a bad idea to implement it in CL.
<pjb> Or use the linux nntp as basis and write tools and filters around it.
<lisp123> pjb: the latter sounds most feasible
<lisp123> now to find some sort of plug and play tutorial
<pjb> A nice thing is that there are archives of usenet, so you can integrate them to your server, so people could still read and search old news.
<pjb> This is what google did, but with their horrible user interface.
<lisp123> is it possible to still have the name "comp.lang.lisp" or would you have to choose a new name?
<pjb> Of course. Each nntp network has its own name hierarchy.
<pjb> It's similar to irc.
<lisp123> nice. I might try and do one, one day (in the not too distant future).
<lisp123> then i guess users have to subscribe to your newsgroup?
<pjb> There are several nntp server software; you'd have to select the right one.
<pjb> Indeed you'll have to implement some way to register users and prevent posting from non-registered users.
<pjb> Nowadays, most nntp service do that. But this doesn't prevent idiots to spam the groups.

<pjb> But a nice feature is to have a mail<->nntp gateway.
<pjb> gmane did that.
<lisp123> doesn't sound too bad - we should do it
<pjb> So you could use nntp to read and write on maillists.
<phantomics> I recall someone suggesting once that nntp could use "moderation as a service"
<lisp123> makes sense - but how would auth work?
<_death> gmane still does it https://gmane.io/ .. it does miss the web interface
<lisp123> if writing from a maillist
<phantomics> I.e. someone could publish a list of messages to block and others would subscribe to that list in some way and filter out spam in that manner
<lisp123> i guess people need to be approved onto the mailist?
[deleted] has joined #commonlisp
<phantomics> If you didn't like one moderator's choices of what messages to block you could subscribe to a different mod's block feed
<phantomics> Don't know how practical it would be
<pjb> lisp123: yes. But usually there's an way to register automatically, and you'd be removed manually in case of bad behavior.
<pjb> So spam filters might be essential.
<pjb> (to help human moderators).

<pjb> the wikipedia page is interesting too, notably the graphic that shows the existing nntp providers and their links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_server
<phantomics> There are other nttp servers mirroring the group, like eternal-september.org
<pjb> lisp123: so, indeed, subscribing to some server and slurping the archives (you may contact the administrator for the initial rsync if you want to mirror old news).
<lisp123> thanks!
<pjb> Also, some newsgroups receive "binary" data. Big messages uuencoded (or nowadays base64-encoded), notably picture files. So a lot of storage may be required if you want to allow it.
<lisp123> phantomics: has the enternal-september.org newsgroup added authentication / blocked spammer?
<lisp123> pjb: presuming you can disable binary data?
<phantomics> I think they'll kick you off for spamming, they have a user account system
<phantomics> eternal-september and a lot of other servers don't host the binary groups because of the storage required
<pjb> lisp123: sure, 1- you can disable those newsgroups, and 2- you can filter big uuencoded/base64 encoded messages
<pjb> lisp123: when you own the server, you can do whatever you want.
<pjb> The fundamental problem was that nntp server form a network and you don't own all the nodes, so if a server accepts a message from a user, it gets diffused automatically to your server.
