<ArneBab>(define (? use-content . args) (if use-content args (list)))

<ArneBab>`(foo bar ,@(? #t 'baz))

<ArneBab>$2 = (foo bar baz)

<ArneBab> `(foo bar ,@(? #t 'baz 'maz))

<ArneBab>$3 = (foo bar baz maz)

<dustyweb>ArneBab: that's not the case sadly

<ArneBab>so you have additional requirements :)

<dustyweb>ArneBab: consider: you may not wish to run the "content" at all if the test does not pass

<dustyweb>no additional requirements!

<ArneBab>ah, yes

<ArneBab>you’re right …

<ArneBab>the content producer might be expensive

<dustyweb>for more on why, see SICP exercise 1.6

<ArneBab>… but, as seen here, it is easy to move from a procedure to a macro without any changes to the using code

<dustyweb>or could have side effects, but hopefully not in mere sxml templating ;)

<dustyweb>yep

<dustyweb>ArneBab: you still need to wrap content in a list though

<ArneBab>(this is one of the aspects I see as really cool in Scheme)

<ArneBab>dustyweb: see my final implementation which uses (define (? test . args))

<ArneBab>args always is a list :)

<ArneBab>(in short: I continue to be lazy ☺)

<ArneBab>dustyweb: as last line this night: Isn’t it cool how dramatically a one-line-definition like the ? can cut ceremony?

<dustyweb>:)

<dustyweb>ArneBab: yeah!

<OrangeShark>Happy Tuesday

<bms_>I don't have school because it's election day!

<bms_>And I didn't have school yesterday because a horrible storm knocked their power out.

<OrangeShark>bms_: glad you have power back :)

<OrangeShark>guess I said it too soon

<bms_>No, I've had power since the night of the storm. It was only out for like fifteen minutes. It was much worse closer to my school. I don't think they're supposed to have it back until late tomorrow.

<bms_>Hey!

<amz3>hey!

<amz3>TIL: there is two ways to POST form data to a server urlencoded or using form-data

<amz3> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007969/application-x-www-form-urlencoded-or-multipart-form-data

<amz3>the default is urlencoded which is rather easy to parse

<amz3>\\o/

<amz3>which means that I will try to make a pastebin app

<amz3>if I find a good template ;)

<amz3>that does is not space themed

<amz3>or maybe that is space themed

<bms_>Hello.
