[] at 8am 0UTC=9am CET, ( #commonLisp 's) @kentpitman is going to give a live video #demo of his lisp-style error handling in #python . At this #peertube #live link:

Archive will be up here tomorrow!

We also expect to talk about the #slime swanky python #emacsconf talk: https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/swanky/ whose author should be on the Tuesday-night-in-the-Americas show this week.

If you have #mastoQuestions please leave them here #AMA (on topic), and I guess #lisp on #irc live. #programming

💩 #Attention Gen-z and Milli. Why have you dumbed YOURSELVES DOWN even further? Sending yourselves? further down the rabbit whole of #No_Return!

NEWSFLASH #TEXT AND SOFTWARE CODE ARE WORLDS APART! Like 🍎 apples and 🍊 oranges. Think about it. You are in infantile stages @ llm text scraping.

#Software_Code? and you can build your own platform with coding knowledge at a click of a mouse? NOT ONLY DELUSIONAL but.. #INSANITY! not to mention IMPOSSIBLE and could never be used safely in PRODUCTION (WILD) even with #SUPERVISON! 📏

Question❓ We have Over 300,000 thousand PROGRAMMATIC #programming hours under belt. If there was an easier software way DO YOU NOT THINK we would have FOUND IT BY NOW?? (24/7 SINCE 1999)?

..Invention Disclosure below?

You all remind me of my kids. Truth staring you right in the face.. but you choose to believe in a lie. So sad:(

We started 26 years ago. THE OBVIOUS. How old is SAM -- snake oil salesman?? Who invents AI. Rotflmao!

..Even the story is SO #FARCE BASED ON HIS AGE!

From all the LLM SCRAPING (COPYCATS) the RESULTS are simply the MEAN? The Mean is NOT even #accurate_predictive_search! It's the #Mean!

~ #Half_Measures AVAILED US NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH! ~

This is NOT AI! #Programmatic yes, but the results are USELESS! ..Unless #IP_THEFT OR #Copyright_Infringement.

CENTRALIZED BIG TECH CALLED YOUTUBE DELIVERS "central" value. PROOF THIS IS NOT AI!

The Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers.

To calculate it:
• add up all the numbers,
• then divide by how many numbers there are.

Example: what is the mean of 2, 7 and 9?
Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
Divide by how many numbers (i.e. we added 3 numbers): 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So the mean is 6.

PROOF This is NOT AI! Programmatic yes! but the result are USELESS!

Note: there are other types of mean such as Geometric Mean and Harmonic Mean.

I wrote a followup #article about #lisp 's position in the #programming language #TIOBE rankings top 25 for 2025 including notes from the article's thread.

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/momentary/further-arguments-on-tiobe-lisp/

where I give examples of possibly (not) including historic languages in the list, #scheme viewed as a middle-aged lisp,

speculation about Visual Basic '98 as another completely-stable and reliably supported similarly-to-lisp target,

examples of how the ANSI standardised language still evolves.

@kentpitman answering some of the questions and comments in this thread:
https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/115533182674747915

- several notes on islisp https://islisp.info/

- Tool reuse versus new #programming
- (modularity versus globality)

- Learning using only symbols?

- questions thread included a discussion of @JohnMashey viz unix

there will be a part 2

#LISP #ISlisp #knowledgeBases #languageChoice #programmingLanguage

#oop #programming #GUI #commonLisp #McCLIM #softwareEngineering
Article in which I show simple multiple inheritance and method qualifiers in ANSI common lisp's common lisp object system, then show how the McCLIM implementation of the common lisp interface manager 2 specification turns the objects I was working with into rich general user interfaces with a minimal declarative effort presupposing that I was presenting lisp objects.

Rich interfaces pervade lisp's history.

TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.

In the period where the following commands were valid

ATX3DT
ATA

Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.

The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

ON THE HOUR
#lispyGopherClimate with @kentpitman #live follow-up to last week's two interviews:
https://archives.anonradio.net/202511190000_screwtape.mp3
Loose plan:
- Ask a new question here
- lisp view on unix promoting tool reuse over new #programming - does this relate to lisp's advice?
- #ML using symbols (only?).
- Hypercard
- Juxtaposing assembly and #lisp

#climateCrisis this week is getting to 29C here and it's too hot
In the second half I would like to cool down, also featuring @jns @Cat @ramin_hal9001

What if code wasn't a text document?

I've been mulling over this kind of stuff for 20+ years! I made a wee prototype and blogged about it to get it out of my system. Knowing me, I'll pick it up again this time next year!

Too much Discussion of the XOR swap trick via @fs111 https://lobste.rs/s/2byom8 #programming

Running sh commands on Android is easy.

You need a terminal ENV which runs unprivileged. You need package management. You need csh zsh ksh bash skills

It's full blown, comes with minimal packages, so you can extend with anything from vim, Yes VIM to htop, neofetch, to c programming, with all the cherry 🍒 on top

I use termux

You may get it on fDroid, the home site, but NOT from playstore

Update:
I was just warned that the Play Store version is horrifically broken please read the post from the contributor

Thank you @traecer
