<amz3`>héllo :)
<amz3`>I read an interesting article the other day, about scientific advancement
<amz3`>the article was saying that nowdays researcher were too busy marketing instead of researching...
<amz3`>I think this is applicable to me
<npr>amz3: Because of time spent seeking grants and such?
<amz3`>I can't index schemers.org for some reason :(
<amz3`>in particular I can't index srfi pages...
<amz3`>I improved how well results are displayed, now the result page look much better
<amz3`> http://hypermove.net/?query=algorithms
<amz3`>this afternoon I will work on indexing wikipedia and wiktionary.
<janneke>tried to build guile-2.1.4 from tarball on guix, doing
<janneke>guix environment guile-next; mkdir build; cd build; ../configure --prefix=$HOME/guile-2.1.4; make; make install
<janneke>gives libtool: error: error: relink 'guile-readline.la' with the above command before installing it

<defanor>amz3`: what is it? apparently the page has a few issues, btw: you may check it in a non-fullscreen web browser window, and with a html validator to see them
<amz3`>defanor: a search engine
<amz3`>defanor: checking the validator
<amz3`>validor is kind of ok
<amz3`>what issue do you have in non-fullscreen?
<amz3`>defanor: did refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R ?
<defanor>amz3`: a custom search engine, or powered with something like yacy? and i did refresh it; the issue i observe here is that the search results go under the logo image
<amz3`>defanor: that's the behavior I wanted... maybe it's not a good behavior
<defanor>oh
<defanor>yeah, that's quite strange to have a whole screen to scroll before getting to results
<amz3`>defanor: it doesn't use yacy, it's a custom search engine, with a search backend written in Guile, with it's own crawler all written in Guile except the database
<amz3`>defanor: you are right I change that
<defanor>ouch, i thought i'm on #emacs, and wondered how's it related
<defanor>but since it's #guile, i have a question: is there a shorter/nicer way for s-exp processing (reading, applying some functions, displaying, reading next) with guile than something like `(do ((e '(dummy) (read))) ((eof-object? e)) (display (some-function e)) (newline) (flush-all-ports))`?
<defanor>i guess a shell or scheme script would help with shortening, but i'd like to avoid additional scripts as well
<defanor>and to use guile as `jq` for s-exps, basically
<amz3`>sorry I can't help
<manumanumanu>so, I have a number, lets say 2.011352e-7. How do I print that in decimal?
<manumanumanu>you know what I mean. I want it to be 0.00000002011352
<manumanumanu>ah. format to the rescue
<amz3`>yep format
<amz3`>seems like it's ~d
<manumanumanu>amz3`: I'm probably beter off using ~f
<manumanumanu>:)
