<civodul>hi there!

<civodul>zimoun: i'm looking at https://septembrse.society-rse.org/calls/ and i think i'll propose a walkthrough

<civodul>sounds like an interesting format: 20mn, talk + demo

<civodul>a workshop would be nice but it's much more work and that'd require a few people to run it

<zimoun>civodul: cool! 20min is really short ;-)

<civodul>yeah, just enough time to run "guix pull" ;-)

<zimoun>heh :-)

<zimoun>If you need podcasts when washes your dishes, Nix related stuff here: <https://www.compositional.fm/episodes>

<civodul>zimoun: in the end i submitted a talk, we'll see how it goes

<civodul>zimoun: Tweag even has a podcast?!

<civodul>that looks very nice

<zimoun>civodul: cool! Let me know how the talk goes. :-)

<zimoun>well, I have listen <https://www.compositional.fm/nix-in-production-rickard-nilsson> about <https://nixbuild.net/> and I was very interested. :-)

<civodul>neat, what's the takeaway?

<zimoun>the daemon and scheduling is a bottleneck :-)

<civodul>oh, surprise

<zimoun>heh

<zimoun>Hey, a “new” French search engine about Scientific papers and the Guix HPC report appears in <https://scanr.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/publication/hal-03136575>. Neat! :-)

<civodul>zimoun: isn't it just a frontend to hal.inria.fr and similar archives?

<civodul>ah yes, "search engine"

<civodul>i had misread

<zimoun>civodul, yes it “aggreagtes” data from various archives

<zimoun> https://scanr.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/person/idref12105456X

<zimoun>note it is not accurate at all… well, I did not know you did a collaboration woith «MUSEE DE PREHISTOIRE» ;-)

<civodul>i didn't know either :-)

<civodul>still it works surprisingly well

<civodul>(did you work in Liège?)

<zimoun>yes, ~2 years :-)

<civodul>neat

<zimoun>thanks to this post-doc, I drank a lot of beers ;-)

<civodul>so it works pretty well, after all!

<civodul>heh :-)

<zimoun>yes, for me, there are 2 false-positive; one about a Medical Doctor and the other I do not know (Taiwan?)

<zimoun>civodul: I should be present at the JRES 2022 :-) My talk has been selected \o/

<civodul>zimoun: yay, great!

<civodul>that's good news

<zimoun>civodul: short tuto = 1h. What I will not do for climbing in the Calanques ;-)

<civodul>oh you're going to climb this week-end?

<zimoun>by “this”, do you mean tomorrow or the one after the JRES? ;-) Tomorrow, probably not. After JRES, who knows. ;-)

<civodul>heh, ok

<civodul>oh right, i had forgotten where it takes place

<civodul>got it :-)

<zimoun>have a nice week-end! (this one :-))

<rekado> guix.install("https://github.com/aertslab/cisTopic") fails with “guix package: error: gfortran: unknown package”

<rekado>but the corresponding import command does not fail; I’ll investigate this later tonight.

<civodul>rekado: that's because gfortran is a hidden package

<civodul>so you can refer to it via specification->package

<rekado>*cannot?

<civodul>rekado: cannot, indeed :-)

<rekado>oh, that’s a pity. I was so confident in that specification->package hack.

<civodul>it's a good hack, but for the toolchain we had to hide the "raw" packages

<civodul>we could special-case gfortran in the importer
