<brettgilio>Which emacs package do you all use for sending code to a pastebin?

<civodul>"GitLab: You (@civodul) must accept the Terms of Service in order to perform this action."

<civodul>ouch

<civodul>while pulling from guile-git :-/

<rain1>hum.. is that new because of GDPR?

<civodul>i don't think it relates to that

<civodul>problem is their terms have very broad wording, like #15: https://about.gitlab.com/terms/

<civodul>and really, all i want is to work with fellow hackers on guile-git

<civodul>these are the persons i have a "moral contract" with

<civodul>i don't care about GitLab

<daviid>civodul: terrible!

<daviid>could we move it to savannah or noteabug

<daviid>those who install guix will have to sign their agreement?

<amz31>ping OrangeShark ^

<civodul>daviid: no no, if you just pull from the anonymous URL, that's fine

<civodul>the problem is when you have an account there, which you need if you want write access to the repo

<daviid>savannah (non gnu to start with) would be a lot better imo

<daviid>civodul: ah ok

<daviid>but we should move it (if the authors agree) to savannah or noteabug

<OrangeShark>civodul: that sounds pretty terrible

<civodul>yeah that's not great

<civodul>notabug.org is "better" in that it's operated by a non-profit in the first place

<civodul>as such it's also more likely to disappear

<civodul>but i think that's the kind of tradeoff we have to make these days

<civodul>and we there's Software Heritage, so the situation is hopefully better than it used to be :-)

<civodul>-we

<dsmith>sneek: later tell wingo Your latest commit fixed the segfault for me. Yey!

<sneek>Will do.

<wingo>excellent!

<sneek>wingo, you have 1 message.

<sneek>wingo, dsmith says: Your latest commit fixed the segfault for me. Yey!

<janneke>nice!

<wingo>(of course i caused it too :P)

<janneke>of course :)

<ison[m]>Sorry for the simple question, but is there a quick way to "convert" from a string or symbol into a class definition? So for example is there a function that will allow me to feed it 'myClass and get back <myClass>? (assuming <myClass> has already been defined)

<ison[m]>Or similarly is it possible to convert a symbol into a procedure of the same name?

<dsmith>ison[m]: Heya. That kind of assumes that "things" have names that are attached

<dsmith>OR that name have "things" attached to them.

<dsmith>That's often true, but not always the case.

<dsmith>scheme@(guile-user)> (define foo +)

<dsmith>scheme@(guile-user)> (define + "hello\\n")

<dsmith>scheme@(guile-user)> (foo 2 3)

<dsmith>$1 = 5

<dsmith>scheme@(guile-user)> (display +)

<dsmith>hello
