<Apteryx>what's the best way to check if a directory exist? <Apteryx>why are packages being built /gnu/store/some-hash-mypackage found themselves amongst their 'inputs'? <Apteryx>sorry, that's not true. something else is at play. <catonano>amz3: your reply about Culturia and Wiredtiger is a bit longer, I'll rread it later ;-) <amz3>since yesterday discussion with dustyweb about racket's scribble, I've been thinking about making an alternative to it in guile <amz3>I can't take that idea out of my mind, it's painful <amz3>Looking up the documentation of scribble again, I am not sure it's the best we can do, the syntax is rather complicated <amz3>I prefer skribe actually <daviid>than skribilo already works with Guile <amz3>skribilo doesn't work with guile 2.2.3 and doesn't generate texinfo IIRC <daviid>amz3: you might prefer to contribute to skribilo... I wonder what scribble has that skribilo doesn't? <daviid>amz3: but it works with guile ... it is a much better route ... <amz3>that's the thing, scribble only has beautiful html output with a search engine and ... awesome font selection <daviid>I's patch skribilo rather then start ' guile-scribble' from scratch <daviid>at least i would ask on skribilo wha they think (and they, is civodul, so you'll have dead beautifull code to play with, support, opinionated opinion ...) <amz3>I am not good at discussing actually... <daviid>just grabb and study skribilo on your own then ... patch and send patches... <daviid>i'm almost certain it can do what scribble does, it is just a matter of resource <daviid>amz3: porting it to 2.2.3 would be an excellent start ... imo <dustyweb>amz3: IMO Skribe's syntax (the string quasiquote) is nicer from a programmer's perspective, but Scribble's syntax (of strings-by-default, escaped into code) is a bit nicer <dustyweb>but yes! please contribute to skribilo :D <amz3>I am not good at contributing <amz3>I like to do my own things <amz3>maybe I shoud change that in _2019_ but not yet <amz3>Changing of topic, I am looking for an application idea to write on top of gnunet <amz3>it must be slow kind of application, not something like cooperative editing like hackpad <amz3>I was thinking about a wiki but i prefer the bulletin board thing <catonano>amz3: I'd love a social network to publish photos <catonano>anohthher one fforr storring and sharing bookmars, like Pocket <catonano>the photos could be georeferenced, like thhey were in Panoramio <catonano>thhat is, being placeable on thhe openstreetmaps map <amz3>a bulletin board or forum in nowdays parlance is a social network <catonano>I knew what the web was before the web 2.0" wave <catonano>A forums seems to be a concept coming from an age before the web 2.0 wave, but thhat's ok :-) <amz3>well it's true that forums are rather old school but they are still current <amz3>see HackerNews, reddit, somewhat quora, somewhat stackoverflow, discuss <amz3>actually all those forums I cited have flaws, outside the non-free aspect (and closed garden in the case of quora) <catonano>those are a bit more of a form to me, but as I said, it's ok. ANY app on top of GNUNet is an extremely good thhing right now <amz3>like for instance, unlike a wiki, there is no one-stop place where you can learn everything to know about a given subject <amz3>catonano: yes, you are right, I am asking, because I don't want to build something and then nobody will try to try it <amz3>I plan to use command line interface to avoid because a lot of people around don't like much web tools <amz3>I wondering if people don't like html + css + js because it's crap or because a lot of it is closed source or because it's hype <catonano>I dont understand: do you want to _avoid_ command line ? <amz3>catonano: I will code a command line not web ui <catonano>I don't know. Thhat would cut out a lot of potential users <spk121>amz3: I do reject the premise that people avoid html+css+js. In practice, most of my computing life is spent in other people's websites. <spk121>amz3: I just don't like coding in it, because it is so many weird technologies stuck together <amz3>catonano: I don't know guile-gnome, yet. <amz3>spk121: I agree, but videos, blink, gifs and stuff... maybe it's possible to do all that stuff in guile-gnome <amz3>if there was an equivalent of snabbdom for gnome it would be nice <amz3>too bad daviid just logged out <jeko>I have installed Guile on my Trisquel and I miss some SRFIs in the distribution :-( <jeko>I have downloaded and installed manually the SRFI64 for example <jeko>Is it the nominal case for Guile 2.0.9 <hugo>That doesn't sound right <hugo>Where did you get it from. The git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile.git repo contains all the SRFI code for guile <jeko>Hi hugo ! I just sudo apt-get install guile-2.0 <amz3>ACTION questioning himself about gtk vs web stack
