<lilyp>you can get the current time, both as uint and as <date> ***X-Scale` is now known as X-Scale

<roptat>I'm trying to use expt with some big numbers, and I get "numerical overflow" <chrislck>roptat: any numeric calculation you'll use will have some limits... <lilyp>there is gmp, but there are limits to ram <singpolyma>Oh, sure, the limit is if you can't add ram fast enough I suppose. True ;) <lilyp>for context: (expt 2 (expt 2 20)) is already quite large <roptat>yeah I figured it out by myself ^^' <roptat>since I wanted *modular* exponentiation anyway, I wrote a procedure to do that. Although, is there any modular exponentiation procedure in guile already? maybe I shouldn't have bothered implementing it? <singpolyma>Probably gmp has that too? But not sure how good the bindings are <lilyp>I'm not aware of any, but yeah, modulo_exp can be hurtful if you try the stupid way :) ***rgherdt_ is now known as rgherdt
