decimation: luke-jr?
mircea_popescu: yes luke-jr
mircea_popescu: an entire den of fraudsters and con men they got going there, not like phantomcircuit's anyone else than the bitcoinica thief etc.
mircea_popescu: " As Wal-Mart gets the lion’s share of food stamp transfers [EBT cash and food] than this operation amounts to a 19th century Appalachian coal mine with its own company store, with over half of the employees spending most—or even more than—their salary at the Wal-Mart register, literally a captive market and labor force in one."
mircea_popescu: this is actually an excellent point - walmart is not a shop, it's a shit circuit.
decimation: it's been well covered in the us media that walmart 'arbitrages' usg benefits/slaves into profit
decimation: mr. lafound makes a novel point (to me) that the rich folk (think jwz) are equally complict, thinking that saving $0.25 on eggs at walmart is purely neutral
mircea_popescu: i dun think this is much of a novel point. fundamental point. "be the change you wish to see" etc.
hanbot: people are going to be sucked into convenience > quality (sanity) so long as they can't appreciate what quality is. i had a visitor in romania who had never seen good egg yolks, thought they were "suspicious"

decimation: in the us, to be against 'walmart profits' is to be labeled a socialist. it's rarely the case that someone points out the degree to which walmart profits are dependent on socialism themselves

gabriel_laddel: trinque: fundamentally the only way I see this happening is by getting a great prince to "see" why it is one would like such a thing.

gabriel_laddel: Emacs is Stallman hating the lisp machine. Pragmatic my arse.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: dunno if my point is coming across.
gabriel_laddel: not at all
gabriel_laddel: Spending a year learning elisp, and then a year unlearning it because it's a dead end isn't pragmatic at all.
gabriel_laddel: fucking stallman
trinque: I use pragmatic as a dirty word
gabriel_laddel: should have just used CL
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I'm still not sure what you're getting at...
trinque: emacs is the closest thing I as a derp coming into the industry in 2006 would ever find which somewhat resembled the experience that was possible *before I was goddamn born*

gabriel_laddel: I was going to put this off until later - but whatever.
gabriel_laddel: Look, there is no reason we can't take SBCL and incrementally modify it to work on a loper device
gabriel_laddel: People keep bitching about "all the things wrong with common lisp" while completely ignoring that you can meaningfully upgrade the language without throwing away all the work that has been done over the years.

Let everyone know that it's deprecated, and that they can run this program on their code to update it to CL 1.2 or whatever.
gabriel_laddel: the compiler can then be modified to take this into account.
gabriel_laddel: I, for example, dislike having both defstruct and defclass in the language.
gabriel_laddel: Am currently waiting for an intern to fix this.
gabriel_laddel: Over the course of a few years we can work the language down to something much smaller without at any point making it unsuitable for production work.
gabriel_laddel: Even with a Loper device you'll still have programs composed of the same primitives: draw-circle*, draw-sphere*
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 108852 @ 0.00002602 = 2.8323 BTC [-] {14}
gabriel_laddel: Work CL down to the core language and then when you get something new to play with you can build up that core and run (some) 'CL' programs on it.
gabriel_laddel: These metaprograms are great tasks for interns, especially those who don't "get lisp" yet.
phf: i'm not one of those people you're arguing against, i like cl standard just fine. i did paid common lisp consulting on and off for the past 10 years.
gabriel_laddel: phf: o cool

gabriel_laddel: ascii_modem: there is a scheme which didn't throw away the CL compiler and start from scratch?

gabriel_laddel: If *any* of them did this, for any compiler, I'd be rather surprised.
ascii_modem: sbcl, ccl, allegro, lispworks - each had own
ascii_modem: basic boojum with ~all~ lisps on x86 - is same

gabriel_laddel: phf: no one has done so much as even drafting a document specifying what is to be removed.

gabriel_laddel: I read the relevent cliki page.
gabriel_laddel has a document collecting these links, ideas

phf: gabriel_laddel: intellectual exercise :)
ascii_modem: all of these turd polishings are 20+ years of wank by now,
phf: in practical terms, common lisp quirks are direct result of underlying machine level architecture
gabriel_laddel: I suppose masturbation counts as exercise.
ascii_modem: and distract from the fact that the ~machine~ is terminally retarded
gabriel_laddel: ascii_modem: dija read the part where I specified the reason for this is to impress a prince?
ascii_modem: if i were prince - i'd spit
phf: at some point i assume it wasn't retarded, more like "what can i do with these resistors and a soldering iron", became retarded later

gabriel_laddel: which are on idle timers
trinque: yes that might be the right way; I'm not in a position where I feel I know the best way yet.
gabriel_laddel: lol, idle timers are the ONLY way to do that
trinque: I want two things, at any point I want to know what I have available to me in the context I'm in
trinque: I want to have that broken apart into sensible categories of action, a tree structure of sorts from the current point outward to wherever else I might go

trinque: our merry band of madmen got things such as these done once upon a time by representing the ASTs of SQL queries as table structures in postresql

trinque: it's just everything is data, including that which is used to model and manipulate the data
trinque: lisp did it far far better
trinque: incidentally we had the ebnf one bootstrapped such that it contained the description of its own structure
trinque: and could revise it from there
trinque: transactionally even

gabriel_laddel: why would you want to revise sexprs?

trinque: or even better, have it fail some constraint and do so
trinque: or in other words... "database"
gabriel_laddel: yeah, I wish you the best of luck on that quest. It is straightforwards, but ugh.
trinque: I would have to describe better how I've leaned on there being a declared schema which is also data
gabriel_laddel: defclass, plists, alists
trinque: for example an inner join between the schema-describing-tables and the rows describing the grammar was how I wrote a generic to-string for any language in the ebnf tables
gabriel_laddel: fucking ayy man
gabriel_laddel: I hope you don't take offense to this but...
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: this is what I mean by "we need people to carry the water"
gabriel_laddel: seriously, redirecting a trinque at CL would make the development 100x better.
gabriel_laddel: *the development experience
trinque: if you mean somebody should've kicked my ass ten years ago for not writing CL, I agree.
gabriel_laddel: I mean that someone should have paid for you to write CL, preferable packaging it up as an unchanging distro supporting only a subset of hardware.
trinque: so, here's what I do in real life, right?
trinque: I model people's businesses using a database
trinque: so to the extent that you put a better tool in my hands to do that, I'll only be appreciative.

trinque: model a business, describe business rules which constrain the changes possible to the model, present the state of the model in various useful ways, attach behavior to changes permitted by the model
trinque: this is every goddamn application I've ever sold
trinque: and a tool which allows me to rapidly do that will drastically increase the rate of said selling
trinque: and you could stack corpses to the sky replacing products which were specific incarnations of such a database, rather than attacking the general problem described above.
trinque: and then when you've got fat stacks from all the killing you've been doing, hell, build some hardware why don't you?
trinque: this I think hits the problem of "the sale wants their particular problem solved head on" vs "to be a successful software business I must generalize" squarely
