<zimoun>rekado_: Awesome!! Congrats!
<zimoun>civodul: Neat choice for the TP Notebook. :-)
<civodul>hi!
<civodul>traveling salesperson?
<civodul>difficulty was to find one that would work
<civodul>i screwed up the hands-on session though, due to a silly bug
<civodul>hardcoded /tmp/guix-kernel that would prevent multi-user usage :-/
<civodul>so that ended up being more like a tutorial
<zimoun>I have read the chat. But it worked for me since I was alone. :-)
<civodul>heh, so you followed the hands-on session?
*civodul prepares a release announcement
<zimoun>release? 1.3? I miss it was on preparation. :-)
<zimoun>or your mean about jupyter-guix?
<civodul>yup!
<civodul>1.3 will have to wait a bit longer :-)
<rekado_>we don’t have a release song for 1.3 yet, so we will have to delay the release
<efraim>sounds legit
<civodul> https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2021/01/guix-jupyter-0.2.1-released/
<rekado_>congratulations!
<rekado_>the link to the picture language says ‘Uh-oh’: https://hpc.guix.info/package/guile-picture-language
<rekado_>(I’m getting this a lot on guix.mdc-berlin.de, whenever someone changes something with the server; I just can’t remember what it was whenever I fix it…)
<civodul>ah yes, i just restarted hpguix-web and presumably it was still in the process of updating its package list
<zimoun>yay! :-)
<civodul>rekado_: thanks for the inferior memoization patch! i'll do a bit of profiling to understand what's going on
<civodul>oh, 'import'
*civodul surprised to see that 'import' is a thing
<rekado_>I use import in the GWL because it looks more familiar and is marginally shorter
***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<civodul>see, you just used "use"
<civodul>i wonder where 'import' comes from, i thought it was an R6 thing
<civodul>so i started profiling and then got distracted, boo
<rekado>:)
<rekado>‘use’ is fine; ’use-modules’ is a wee bit awkward for non-Schemers according to my very limited observations.
<civodul>yeah "import" is certainly a more common word for that
*civodul -> zZz
<civodul>night!
<zimoun>rekado: maybe, GWL could be a good occasion to switch from #t/#f to #true/#false, everywhere. WDYT?
<rekado>zimoun: my new code in the GWL uses #true and #false
<rekado>to be clear: the GWL code itself doesn’t use ‘import’. It’s just what the documentation and the examples show.
<zimoun>sometimes yes sometimes no. I was just giving a look and see the mix.
