<cow_2001>i am reading guile arrays bit. i wanna write a forest fire model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest-fire_model for hoot

<cow_2001>the guile arrays bit

<cow_2001>,pp (make-array 0 10 10) is not very pretty :\

<cow_2001>well https://codeberg.org/kakafarm/kaka.farm/src/branch/master/kakafarm/dabbling/forest-fire.scm

<cow_2001>now, what do i do to make it go on screen?

<dthompson>cow_2001: I think I'm missing context. not exactly sure what you're asking

<dthompson>but you mentioned arrays. hoot doesn't support guile's arrays currently

<cow_2001>oops

<cow_2001>dthompson: what do you suggest in absence of guile arrays? i could just write pretend procedures over some other underlying data structure

<dthompson>just use vectors directly

<cwebber>so tsyesika figured out why the goblin-chat demo wasn't working for people on Chrome

<cwebber>it turns out we're using APIs which are widely available in Firefox but which you have to explicitly turn on in Chrome

<cwebber>for the encryption stuff for OCapN

<cwebber>and tsyesika had turned it on and forgotten about it

<cwebber>and so it got missed in terms of it not working on Chrome

<cwebber>tsyesika: could you repeat the instructions here on how to enable it?

<tsyesika>sure

<tsyesika>you need to go to about:flags and enable " Experimental Web Platform features". It'll prompt you to restart chromium which you need to do for it to work.

<dthompson> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/generateKey#browser_compatibility

<dthompson>we use the Ed25519 algorithm

<jfred>oof, always fun - hopefully that makes it to stable releases soon

<dthompson>yeah same... I need to figure out how to track progress there

<jfred>on the bright side, y'all seem to be continuously working on the bleeding edge of what's possible in browsers :P

<dthompson>for better or worse 🙃

<jfred>yup, haha

<dthompson>I've got our crypto code detecting the failure to generate Ed25519 keys. now I need to bubble that up to the app so we can display a message.
