asciilifeform: not really similar other than in cost

asciilifeform: driving yourself, on public streets, is still rather like 'cloud storage'
asciilifeform: the equivalent of 'your own hdd' transportation-wise would be, perhaps, a chopper.
jurov: you're seeing it with completely different angle
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically. old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc. a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
asciilifeform: i dun see it re: the desktop.
asciilifeform: it costs precious little.
asciilifeform: (unless you're a jungle man in which case it costs infinity.)
pete_dushenski: if you're not making $100k++ per annum and cannot afford extra rooms in house or apartment to enjoy as 'office', then yes, a jungle man is you. in which case, you're using a phablet primarily and a dusty laptop on rare occasions when you need to print a document. the only exception being, perhaps, g4amerz.

mod6: i think im like, getting lost in all the different dialects of lisp.
mod6: i was trying to do (system "ls") or whatever with tinyscheme, but i must be doin something wrong
mod6: i guess it just says "unbound variable: system" but it seems to be in the docs under extentions. *shrug*
mod6: more reading i guess.
asciilifeform: mod6: 'guile' is another scheme interpreter.
asciilifeform: mod6: there is no 'system' in our tinyscheme.
asciilifeform: (can add it, or anything, for that matter, if we need to)
mod6: ah, werd. ok.
mod6: (quit) works lol
mod6: once i do some more reading im going to attempt to read a file.
asciilifeform: neato mod6. what are you studying from ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-02-2016#1413322 << l0l pete_dushenski, 100k usd is real money where you live ?
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 23:54:45; pete_dushenski: if you're not making $100k++ per annum and cannot afford extra rooms in house or apartment to enjoy as 'office', then yes, a jungle man is you. in which case, you're using a phablet primarily and a dusty laptop on rare occasions when you need to print a document. the only exception being, perhaps, g4amerz.
asciilifeform: a number of folks don't seem to grasp that financial and cultural poverty are quite separate things. visit usa, the land of countless millionaires who have never opened a book, and hobos with half a ph.d. in mathematics.
mod6: asciilifeform: sicp
mod6: and the tinyscheme docs
asciilifeform: http://www.scheme.com/tspl4 << another pretty good source.
assbot: The Scheme Programming Language, 4th Edition ... ( http://bit.ly/1L7qt9t )
mod6: seems like we'll have to write a lot of our own procedure libs. which is maybe a good thing i guess.
asciilifeform: (available in dead tree, but link has plain text.)
mod6: ah, thanks sir.
asciilifeform: mod6: aha. (though with a small modification, ts will run 'slib', a well-known library)
asciilifeform: but scheme is quite a pleasant language to bootstrap from the ground.

mod6: haha
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what the fuck is that retarded nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the collected "profession" of "journalist" can't if working together think a thousand words ahead.
mircea_popescu: their opinion on stuff like trilema is about as welcome as the housewife's thoughts on stage makeup.
mod6: my eyes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's their reaction to some derpy sports story about career of guy who sportsballed and then became a rape-cop who is now in prison. Derps published the story now other derps are trying to indict the entire concept of long form over the story.
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2016 01:21:21; asciilifeform: http://www.scheme.com/tspl4 << another pretty good source.
asciilifeform: i strongly disrecommend it.
mod6: whats the deal in there?
asciilifeform: r6rs heresies (motherfucking square brackets!)
mod6: ah
asciilifeform: straight to the stove with it.
BingoBoingo: r5rs 4lyf
mod6: oh like "(let ([if #f])"
asciilifeform: the sheer rot.
mod6: thanks for mentioning
BingoBoingo: My reading of the history is r6rs was a coup attempt to turn scheme into a sort of python or perl with too much built in shit
asciilifeform: just remember boyzngurls, syntactic sugar leads to cancer of the semicolon!
ben_vulpes: cancer of the semilollin

phf: mod6: you can also just read r5rs directly http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/ftpdir/scheme-reports/r5rs.ps
mod6: thanks phf
phf: it's basically a self contained, and very readable spec of the language
phf: sicp is more of a "all you need to know about computation as a thing" book, rather then specifically a way to learn scheme. i know very few people who actually got through it on their own

mod6: yeah, i've figured that from what i've seen thus far in sicp. which is alright.
mod6: some good examples of stuff in there.
mod6: i'll check out the ps tho
