<amz3>héllo :)
<brendyn>micro`: In that video Andy manages to use the repl outside emacs without getting all this crap like "^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^B^[[D)" How does that work?
<brendyn>When I use the repl I can't use the arrow keys. At least backspace works.

<csprng>brendyn ^
<brendyn>csprng: O.O omg, amazing
<catonano>brendyn: and if you want to activate it automatically, without having to retype it at every REPL you launch, just paste those 2 lines in a .guile file in your home folder
<catonano>you can do the same withh pretty printing

<paroneayea>guess it's time to learn to use the guile-lib logging module
<dsmith-work>{appropriate time} Greetings, Guilers
<paroneayea>hello dsmith-work :)
<dsmith-work>Amazing. Just happened to hit a c while typing C-x.
<rekado>I just deployed my Guile web application on a server behind nginx ... and now I get an error when uploading files: ERROR: ERROR: R6RS exception:
<rekado> 1. &assertion
<rekado>
<rekado>I don't know what this means.
<rekado>that's really all there is.
<rekado>ah, there's a backtrace when I run the server directly.
<rekado>locale-related
<rekado>this happens when I do (bytevector->string bv "ISO-8859-1")
<rekado>is this wrong?
<rekado>I'm using the bytevector->string procedure from (ice-9 iconv)
<rekado>(this worked on my GuixSD laptop, but fails on the CentOS server in a Guix environment.)
<rekado>the actual error was in using "string->bytevector" from (rnrs *) instead of (ice-9 iconv)
<paroneayea>rekado: hm, differently calculated locales can cause problems, but I don't know enough to say helpful things beyond that
<taylskid>is there a good collection of "easy" bugs a new developer could tackle?
<dsmith-work>sneek: bugs?
<sneek>Its been said that bugs is send reports to bug-guile@gnu.org, and see bug reports at http://bugs.gnu.org/guile
<dsmith-work>taylskid: No idea which ones are easy, but take a look at http://bugs.gnu.org/guile
<davexunit>yeah we don't have bugs suitable for newcomers tagged in any way
<davexunit>would be nice to do
<dsmith-work>I suspect the low-hanging fruit is picked early
<davexunit>sometimes not, though.
<davexunit>I've picked low-hanging fruit from a project or two before
<davexunit>as a newcomer
<dsmith-work> http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22767
<dsmith-work>That doesn't seem too difficult
<taylskid>dsmith-work: thanks, I'll take a peak!
<taylskid>sorry had to relocate to another building on campus
<ota>Thanks dsmith.
<dsmith-work>ota: eh?
<stis>evening guilers!
<ota>dsmith: your bugs list reference saved me for poking around to find something.
<ota>s/for/from/
<dsmith-work>ota: Ah. GOod
