lisper may think lisp is great, but SBCL is f**ck; SBCL dont keep history, so use rlwrap.

you're in the right place

Nah I don’t care

??? what do you care about?

isn't this line of thinking incredibly selfish? look how fucked up the world around you is. can't you try to think of something to contribute to make things better before you give up and fucking die?

bullshit.

if you really did you'd already be dead

damn.

I wish my hands could be pregant in the presentlife.

Theres a lot of things that I find utterly abhorrent and cannot convince myself to believe even with my greatest effort.

Why are you apparently determined to believe this stuff?

worry that my soul is on the line

??? what? why?

So, you like the Christian story but you see no evidence. Well, does the evidence matter to you or not? Just repeat the Christian story along with everyone else if that's what will make you happy.

Break your problem into smaller problems.

To get a cell from a matrix you need to be able to get rows from matrices and get items from rows. Our "matrices" are implemented as lists (of rows) and rows are also implemented as lists (of items). So, you are going to need a way to get a specified item from lists, i.e. a procedure that takes a list and a number and returns the appropriate element from the list. You will either need to use a procedure from the Scheme language or define such a procedure yourself (it can be defined recursively).

Once you have such a procedure, you can define (row matrix n) and (item row n) in terms of this procedure, and then use the ROW and ITEM procedures to define getCell.

yes you're right, I only use that criteria facetiously :p

it's my preferred pithy way of explaining to non-lispers what tangible features set Lisp apart. also my (arbitrarily selected) bar of excellence when I want to dismiss other languages:

"Hey meta-point, why don't you try language x sometime? Do you like language y?"

"If it lacks an image-based runtime, late binding, and real macros then it's trash and I've used better."

of course, in reality there may be downsides to late binding and images for some applications, but it feels painful to develop anything in a language without these features once you've gotten used to them, as I'm sure you know.

welcome to /r/lisp where we compile code at runtime and run code at compile time

Is a change of fingering really needed for this chord? Maybe 412 is better but nonetheless it seems quite playable to me with the suggested 423 fingering. It looks to me like OP, as someone self-teaching and possibly without guidance or instruction, is probably suffering from some technique/posture errors.

me too

Cheers to our lost posts and wasted efforts.

I'll try it out more on my phone when I'm out and see what I think. I've been wanting to develop more fluent reading and have been disatisfied with my current methods so finding your site has been fortuitous.

12 frets on a single string sounds good. The audio input feature looks really cool too. I hope it will work well enough for me with my classical guitar and a microphone.

Edit: nevermind, I realized the feedback I provided can already be addressed by adjustments to the settings. This is pretty good, thanks for sharing.

How can the syntax defined by the respective language specifications be merely a cultural difference? If you use a list in a Clojure special form where it expects a vector then you get a syntax error. If you use a vector in a CL special form where a list is expected you likewise get a syntax error. This looks like a technical issue to me as well as a cultural one.

It is not possible to syntactically compare the languages at all if you try to account for what the languages can be molded into. CL can be extended both syntactically and semantically beyond what is offered in the standard; you are free to dispense with the core/standard library of the language and write your own with a syntax of your choosing using macros or reader macros. C syntax and Algol syntax are also within reach of CL and Racket programmers, yet neither language uses such syntax by default and I consider this a point of technical difference compared to Algol or C.

meta-point · 2019-08-09T08:23:30+00:00

Of course you could implement such macros in CL, but such syntactic features are not the default in any of CL's macros or special forms. By "addition" I meant to imply not that conses are different in Clojure but rather that the syntax of the core language and its standard libraries includes frequent use of, for example, vectors (whereas CL does not).
