phf: til that sbcl doesn't support eol style for external-format specification..
asciilifeform: phf: is it permanently welded to the os's eol style or wat?
phf: asciilifeform: probably, i've not tried it on anything but unix, but it's more like you can't open dos files and it just work
asciilifeform: phf: just nao asciilifeform realized that in fact never tried sbcl on mswin (or w/ dos-style endings anywhere)
phf: asciilifeform: i often write scripts to process warez artifacts, which are more often than not latin1 and crlf
phf: (i have this cue file for a cd rip, and i have a cue parser that i wrote for cmucl, which works great, except it wants an external-format '(:latin1 :crlf), which for some reason was cut from sbcl. why? because fuck you)
verisimilitude: The portable method is to avoid these line functions and use character functions or, likely, work solely with octets.
verisimilitude: This can make using Common Lisp very inconvenient, yes.
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-07-02#1110264 << that might be a portable way, but it's not the lisp machine way. your system ought to be a superset of the standard, making solving whatever tasks more convenient rather than less

verisimilitude: Sure, but Common Lisp wasn't designed that way; Ada's much better for this manner of thing, generally.
verisimilitude: Anyway, if this is just fiddling in the REPL and not something for release, just read in lines normally and mind the ending carriage return.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: that's an arse-nail chair tho.
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-01-04 14:19:43 asciilifeform: 'but you can get used to it, learn to sit down so nail goes in arsehole cleanly' 'nothx'
asciilifeform: which is moar or less precise opposite of what folx using common lisp are fighting for.

asciilifeform: phf: d00d seems to have enuff exposure to cl that oughta know sumthing re subj, is what's astonishing here
phf: asciilifeform: it's the dark academia
asciilifeform: in the lolcat sense? sadly likely
verisimilitude: Oh, are we using Lisp Machines, phf, or does the real Common Lisp not actually support that so well?
verisimilitude: I know more about Common Lisp than phf, I'd be willing to wager.
phf: verisimilitude: go fuck yourself, don't ever fucking talk to me again
verisimilitude: The portable parts of Common Lisp aren't so convenient to use; real portability means one can't even depend upon the ASCII character set.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: there ainta 'real common lisp', there's a buncha variously rusty pc impls
verisimilitude: The character set has certain constraints placed upon it, but only some constraints.
verisimilitude: There's a standard with which I've familiarized myself, and that's the real Common Lisp.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: got a 100% impl. of it yet ? intend to bake one ?
phf: verisimilitude: you're full of shit
verisimilitude: I'd like to one day, asciilifeform, but that's still a ways away.
verisimilitude: How, phf?
phf: verisimilitude: go. fuck. yourself.
verisimilitude: What have I done to warrant this response?
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: proposed an arse nail chair and doubled down, trololol

asciilifeform: if aint obv
verisimilitude: It's my fault for offering advice in good faith.
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: some 'advice' it dun much matter in what faith, lol, offered
verisimilitude: Yes, apparently.
phf: which is by the way his modus operandi, a fucking reddit tier conversation. i don't think he even cares about the particular outcome, just to fucking pipe in with some kind of opinion, any kind
verisimilitude: I would be lying if I were to claim to care about phf, so that's partially true.
asciilifeform: phf: d00d is suffering from some kinda severe stimulus starvation on his asteroid, asciilifeform suspects
verisimilitude: That's not false, sure.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: have you considered becoming embroiled with women ?
verisimilitude: Then I'd have two problems.
verisimilitude: So, no.
verisimilitude: I've not.
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-07-02#1110268 << this is factually incorrect, nor was common lisp "designed" as such. common lisp is a subset of various maclisp derivative systems, their "common" parts, where the standartization process was about finding the compromise between existing systems. so it was most certainly "designed that way": each individual lisp machine was free to provide superior set of functionality
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-07-02 21:56:32 verisimilitude: Sure, but Common Lisp wasn't designed that way; Ada's much better for this manner of thing, generally.
phf: (e.g. rich arrays or structs or memory management or whatever) as long as it fit into a conformant common subset
verisimilitude: What standard doesn't have a superset?
phf: zoomers and millenials fetishizing the standard, or really not seeing anything beyond the standard means that what we get is a significantly limited functionality
verisimilitude: I wasn't claiming a superset of Common Lisp doesn't exist.
verisimilitude: We agree, phf.
phf: verisimilitude: you weren't claiming anything, you're just a fucking markov chain generator, fuck off.
verisimilitude: I'm better than a markov chain generator; I'm at least neural network nonsense.
verisimilitude: Listen, phf, I'm obviously touched in the head, so I'm never going to ``fuck off'' and we know that.
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-07-02#1110310 << you can see this contrast between older systems that are closer to their lisp machine roots, like cmucl or acl, that provide internally coherent superset of common lisp, beyond just a handful of helper functions, that's driven by the needs of the hackers rather than "nothing beyond the standard" ideology.

verisimilitude: I personally believe more systems should aim to be extremely bare ``nothing beyond the standard'' affairs, because nothing else is truly the language.
verisimilitude: Listen, phf, tell me how to change, and I'll at least listen.
verisimilitude: What, exactly, should I do?
verisimilitude: Believe it or not, I do irritate others at times, unawares; I'm aware I've perhaps a problem, at the least.
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-07-02#1110323 << you don't say. you've got personality issues, that i can't explain to you how to work through in two sentence. you're probably an autist or a psycopath, therapy and intentional mind work helps with that, but you have to will yourself into pursuing them, and also will yourself against the protective mechanisms, of which i'm sure you have many at 40+ and which you

phf: consistently deploy when confronted by others (in the logs). but that's to the point of "irritate others at times". honestly i don't think you particularly care that you do, only as much as when it's an accute moment (this would also be consistent with your "condition").
phf: the part that irks me is not that you're an autist, which usually provides for very interesting perspectives and ideas, but that you're a redditor autist, a criminal misuse of autism, meaning that very few things you say have any substance behind them: they are accumulated and internalized most upvoted opinions driven by subjects that are collectively sourced.
phf:
phf: my _honest and earnest_ advise for you is to stop programming entirely and take up a skill that's entirely outside of your domain and outside of internet, figure out how to become a club promoter, or a horse ferrier. learn to mimick human interactions, do a physical cause and effect skill. that i would insist you do if you were my ward, but you're not, so i hope you understand that given that you won't genuinely choose to follow my
phf: guidance (that would be silly anyway, what am i some kind of mp?) and further you would continue being a neusance, it's in my self interest to cease any further communication with you.
verisimilitude: I appreciate the suggestions.
verisimilitude: I'm already taking up such a skill, Latin.
verisimilitude: I don't often mention it, but I suppose I could be a psychopath, sure.
