<wizard>hihi :)

<dthompson>hey wizard welcome abord!

<wizard>hiho

<wizard>it's "back to figuring out how to get the 4th recurive dependency for trial working" time for me

<dthompson>yeah seems like shinmera has created quite the dependency graph for trial

<dthompson>they're *prolific* when it comes to releasing CL libraries

<wizard>i wish i had that much energy

<dthompson>yeah same

<dthompson>ACTION looks at stack of side projects

<dpk>make your side projects into part of your unpaid job as a politician: become chair of a programming language standards committee!

<dpk>speaking of which, *cough* this isn’t publically announced yet (as you can tell by the very fictional date on the cover), but … https://r7rs.org/large/fascicles/macro/1/

<dpk>for a real announcement i am literally *just* waiting for the controller of the scheme-reports.org domain to set up the MX record so we have a proper mailing list again. i’m tired of waiting for that, so have at it if you’re interested

<cwebber>hi wizard ! :)

<wizard>o/

<dthompson>dpk: !!

<dthompson>thank you for introducing me to the word "fascicle" as I had never heard of it before reading stuff you wrote

<dpk>historical linguists have a long tradition of breaking up big texts into fascicles to publish :-)

<dpk>if computer people know the word already they might know it from Knuth, who is publishing TOACP volume 4 in fascicles

<dpk>but he also got the word from historical linguistics (from the OED, the first edition of which came out in fascicles from 1884 to 1928)

<dthompson>dpk: ah see, the problem is that I'm a buffoon so it's my first exposure to the word :)

<dpk>yay buffoonery!

<dthompson>I've opened many a buffoon pack in Balatro lately thanks to cwebber

<cwebber>lol

<cwebber>I am not to blame for getting people into Balatro or Slay the Spire or any other deckbuilder time wasters

<cwebber>okay I am to blame for dthompson getting into it nm

<dpk>hehe
