<dthompson>ArneBab: I just pushed a commit to chickadee master that adds support for paletted PNGs. it works for the file that was previously causing an error in the particles example. hopefully it works for your stuff, too. <dthompson>ArneBab: the repl issues are... well, the rabbit hole goes quite deep. I won't be able to fix them immediately. need time to think about the situation. <rekado>do any of you have experience with a workflow involving production software (e.g. a web server) and using a REPL to inspect (and fix) problems at runtime? <rekado>in my web things I usually have a DEBUG mode, which fails by dropping me into a REPL, so I can look at values directly — it’s easier than just looking at a backtrace <rekado>but obviously that’s not something I’d like to use in production <rekado>I read a little about Common Lisp restarts and I thought to myself that this looked quite useful <civodul>rekado: "restarts" at the REPL, right? <civodul>essentially continuable exceptions IIRC <civodul>in production, you could still have a REPL accepting connections on a Unix-domain socket <rekado>civodul: yes, restarts at the REPL <rekado>I’d love to just connect, swap out some broken code and resume as if nothing happened <dsmith-work>sneek: later tell civodul One of the problems of writev (IMHO), is how to deal with incomplete writes. You might need to modify an iov entry. A bit icky. <sneek>I've been running for one day and 20 hours <sneek>This system has been up 8 weeks, 6 days, 9 hours, 24 minutes <sneek>ArneBab, you have 1 message! <ArneBab>dthompson: very cool! Thank you for looking into the REPL; I’m happy that you’re aware of them — if it’s a hard problem, it’s a hard problem. They won’t prevent me from hacking with Chickadee. <ArneBab>old: have you blogged somewhere about the experience of working with Scheme and C together? <dthompson>ArneBab: np thanks for all the bug reports. glad I could fix a bunch of stuff. <old>ArneBab: My blog is at https://www.oldiob.dev. There's libpatch (in the project section) that has scheme bindings for it. Although it's more for internal used for higher level integration testing <old>If you have any question about integrating C and Scheme together don't hesitated, I'm getting good at it :-) <old>dthompson: Sorry if I stole your css for the blog. I hate doing css and your's awesome ***jackhill is now known as KM4MBG
