<paroneayea>actually why not just use 8sync as the name of the whole project <mark_weaver>I suppose maybe it doesn't matter, but 8sync is not a legal identifier in portable scheme <paroneayea>mark_weaver: well I could just decide it's not portable scheme :) <mark_weaver>it just depends on whether you care about promoting the same API for other scheme implementations. <mark_weaver>basically, the rule in portable is that identifiers are not allowed to begin with a character that numbers could begin with. and then there are some exceptions like '+', '-', and '...' <paroneayea> - it's not taken widely by any existing project <paroneayea>mark_weaver: it's definitely a disadvantage that it's not legal scheme, but I'm not sure how much... maybe encouraging %sync as the generic alias solves it <paroneayea>mark_weaver: and hey, here's a "it's a feature": <mark_weaver>it's possible that at some point we'll support a more strict reader for R6RS and R7RS programs running in Guile. <paroneayea>maybe if it becomes good enough, it can be a compelling reason for guile adoption? <paroneayea>okay, that's definitely thinking too far ahead ;) <mark_weaver>I think if you provide an alias that's portable, that's probably good enough. <paroneayea>everything's better with a bit of blur right? :) <cpc26>no, change the background color to a complimentary <paroneayea>well I might drop or tone down the blur, but I think I'm pretty happy with the colors <cpc26>yeah man if you are happy... <paroneayea>it's not really blur because the front-and-center part is not distorted <cpc26>ok do this in CSS3 and HTML5 <paroneayea>yes, it's not centered. and no, I'm not going to try to replicate that complicated shading I did in blender in CSS3 + html5 hacks. ***adhoc_ is now known as adhoc
<paroneayea>mark_weaver: I wonder if I should export the module name as (8sync agenda) or (eightsync agenda) then. <artyom-poptsov1>paroneayea: Hi. I might be too late with my comments on 8sync, but I'm stumbling on "t" sound in "eight" in combination with "s" in "sync" (not native speaker though.) <artyom-poptsov1>One could join those two sounds in german "ts" ("tz") so it would sound like one, but we're talking about english pronunciation, right? <paroneayea>artyom-poptsov1: we're talking english pronunciation, yeah <artyom-poptsov1>"sync8" ("synceight") would sound better, although it's not a pun. On the other hand, in case of "sync8" you could join "c" and "8" in the logo :-) <paroneayea>artyom-poptsov1: I'm afraid it's the pun that makes it any good! :) <paroneayea>also I already registered 8sync.io tonight and I'm not burning another wad of cash to change it, so there's that :) <paroneayea>artyom-poptsov1: I do appreciate the feedback thougH! <paroneayea>I don't speak german so it's useful to know how it sounds there <artyom-poptsov1>paroneayea: Well, I think my reference to German "ts" wasn't quite right anyways, just checked myself. The right one is "tz" consonant, which sounds like "zz" in "pizza". <rekado>I'm not so happy with microscheme. It's written in C, doesn't allow me to abstract enough, and seems somewhat unreliable. (I get an exception after looping for a minute over some pins.) <rekado>Could a useful subset of Guile's intermediate language be translated to assembly? <rekado>I'd really like to use a better compiler. <wingo>i started one but didn't finish :P <koz_>Guile builds from source *slowly*. <rekado>wingo: nice project. I'd love to use Guile to programme my micro controllers. <ane>is there a sample makefile for building an executable? <iyzsong>ane: what's an executable? I don't think Guile can compile scripts into ELF or EXE. <ane>ah, i meant a script <iyzsong>ane: add the shebang '#!/usr/bin/guile -s' and '!#' to the plain text file will make it a valid script (as the 'Guile scripting' section show). makefile is not required. <sirgazil>I'd like Guile to add the current working directory to load path everytime I run it. I'm using (add-to-load-path (getcwd)) in my .guile file for that, and it seems to work so far, but I'm not sure if it is the right thing to do... <civodul>sirgazil: it is (~/.guile is only read when starting the REPL, though) <civodul>in practice, many would argue that adding "." to the search paths is risky <paroneayea>er, I threw the logo together last night, not the whole 8sync thing :) <paroneayea>now I need to figure out where to put up the repo. <sirgazil>ACTION is tired of this computer freezes :( <sirgazil>paroneayea: the logo with pointies looks more punk :) <paroneayea>sirgazil: yeah, I like punk... the spheres kind of match the shape of the 8 too which is nice <paroneayea>sirgazil: an easy thing for me to spend a long time bikeshedding with myself over though. back to code! :) <amz3>it identify links and hashtag and convert it to sxml links <amz3>sneek: what is wikidata? <sneek>From what I understand, wikidata is a structured wiki database
