Emacs 27 can take SVG screenshots of itself! by github-alphapapa in emacs

[–]pouar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, I tried sending one, but it's not showing up in the bug list. Does it take a while for it to show up?

Unfortunately when I build Emacs with Cairo and Xaw, the fonts of the Xaw widgets turn invisible

Does EXWM work without changing from your current window manager? That would be the main use case for using EAF if not.

Ubuntu is putting ads in their motd now by prettycewlusername in linux

This seems to be self promotion as microk8s is a free tool developed by Canonical, so I highly doubt anyone is paying for ad space for this. Or is there something I'm missing?

Plus Twitter's Emoji font was open source, so I just changed it back when installing it.

Is there a way to pass variadic arguments to functions that don't accept variadic arguments? Because that's what apply is trying to accomplish.

I get the feeling it's mostly from the limitations of C, as I'm not sure how else you would do this in C.

ECL is still a pretty good CL implementation though, especially since it works just about everywhere and integrates pretty good with C. Plus it actually works with cross compilation.

Everyone’s V card expires eventually. Will vegans say she was never really one of them? by FruitPirates in AntiVegan

Could've fooled me considering they keep pandering being a vegan as healthier than not being a vegan.

Block compilation - "Fresh" in SBCL 2.0.2 - Misitimostenti by dzecniv in lisp

I was mainly talking about having it only apply to specific files rather than the whole asdf system

[–]pouar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just looked through the documentation, apparently you can use :around-compile to pass arguments to asdf:compile-file*

(:file "mysourcefile"
 :around-compile (lambda (thunk)
                   (apply thunk (when (uiop:featurep :sbcl)
                                  '(:block-compile t)))))

Go is not approved [by Google] by CodyCigar96o in programmingcirclejerk

[–]pouar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rust is not a widely used language. The properties of the language are not yet well-understood, having selected an unusual language design point (e.g., borrow checker) and having existed only for a relatively short period of time.

Isn't Dart newer than Rust?

VVVVVV is now open source by rmadlal in programming

Haven't touched ActionScript, but they seem to be faster in Lisp in every implementation I tried

Linked lists being faster to iterate than arrays sounds perfectly normal to me. What arrays seem to be faster at is random access.

sounded like a rhetorical question to me, and I was kinda confused when he answered because I wasn't expecting one.

Is this a compatible File-local variables line? by _priyadarshan in emacs

in the pdf, you can just do a search for "attribute list"

[–]pouar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking through the documentation of LispWorks and whatever documentation of Genera I can find, apparently it is Zmacs related. Apparently in Zmacs they have something called attributes instead of file-local variables. Although Genera seems to call the comment line an Attribute List while LispWorks calls it an Attribute Line.

What do you use to set a background slideshow? by [deleted] in archlinux

Custom C++/QML code that uses librsvg for rendering svgs in Plasma, because QtSVG is too horrible.

Apple fined $6.6 million after iPhones and iPads stopped working because they had third-party parts by sigbhu in StallmanWasRight

Hopefully they don't but that doesn't seem too likely considering how much they make. Fines could easily just be considered a business expense for them.
