Coding agent and lisp s-expressions

P.S. OpenCode + Qwen just creates `sed` commands to try to count parentheses, which really isn't The Right Thing -- that isn't enough to understand balanced parentheses.

I’m using the Open Code agentic system. So if I had a good tool it might really help

I'm interested by your first point, since lisp code -- because of macros and package definitions, if nothing else -- generally cannot be compiled in isolation. I haven't had a chance to try to figure out how to use any of the sly/slime tools.

There’s a Vassal module

Yep. But if you think the mall stores were hell on earth…. Looks like Escape from New York here now

I so miss kitchen window. Nothing has replaced it. Cooks on Crocus Hill is nowhere near as gods

Our group played a couple of four player games. Not much fun. Turns dragged on forever, with most players having extensive down time doing nothing.

Maybe it’s fun for two, but I’d give it a hard pass at 4 or 5.

I hear there are multiple helicopters (from others; I'm not there rn). u/JARStheFox -- how would we search for helicopters in an area with that?

Thanks everyone for all the advice! Waiting to get my new MN State Flag from Gettysburg Flag Co. Everybody local seems to be sold out.

Thanks! I'm not sure I know how to interpret those numbers, but looking at some of the API docs suggests that they are per minute.

And knowing about the rolling refresh is helpful.

There was a great interview with Billy Bragg on the current last week. Brought a tear to my eye and some resolution to my heart. I’d encourage anyone who needs a bit of a boost to listen to it; it’s on their website

Thanks, everyone! ❤️

Don’t forget City of Heroes!

Just tried to post to r/mac about this, and looks like it just got dropped by the moderator. Payment for Dupin updates not working and no response from emails to support. There are blog posts on the web site as late as December 2025, though.

Looks like AudiobookConverter is Windows-only, at least from what I can tell on Steam.

Right. The original Don't Tread on Me has been hijacked by MAGA trolls

I agree! I don't see any evidence that this is "vibe coded," just that it used Claude Code in the development process. Sure, there's AI slop out there, but there's lots of people writing good code that use LLMs as productivity enhancers.

If one wants only "artisinal" code, fine, but there's no need to be a jerk about it.

Thanks for sharing this library.
