That feature comes from emacs; hit ctrl-y to get ("yank") the last thing you copied, hit alt-y to get the previous thing you copied, and keep hitting alt-y in succession to cycle through the clipboard, which is called the "ki

I don't recall if they actually used "Klondike", but I'm gathering as much based on the other comments.

I vaguely recall there was a Twilight Zone episode that might have used “Klondike” - anybody happen to know which one? I think they picked up the phone, the operator was either already on the line, or they might’ve dialed zero, then request

Common Lisp has complex numbers: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/numbers.html#comp... Is stack-free function calling equivalent to tail call optimization? If so, then many CL implementations support it, incl

Just curious - have you tried rabbit, and would you consider it to also be gamey?

I thought this was true of all mammals, but apparently it’s gill slits that mammal embryos have. I guess the difference is functional vs non-functional . . .

> "Undefine Function" That's the key; if you delete a function make sure to undefine it so it's not sticking around in the image. In slime you can use `C-c C-u` which is bound to FMAKUNBOUND.

I like using `q:` to get at the command history, and recently I realized `ctrl-w _` also works there to get a nearly full screen view of the history!

That's definitely server side JS, but I thought the person I was replying to meant a web server that was written in JS, but I suppose "powered" could mean that it just runs JS. I saw that link elsewhere in this thread after m

Thank you for mentioning that book - I'm very interested in how perl can replace awk and sed and even grep(!) - I use grep multiple times a day, awk maybe a few times a week, and sed very rarely. I think I'm in the target demograp

Thank you for the tip re: strict! Escaping - that's definitely a sore point. I feel like I get tripped up by embedded double quotes way too often - does perl have a good way to handle them?

by kagevf 3y ago
The next time I need awk or sed, whatever I end up writing I’ll submit to chat gpt and ask it to rewrite it in perl so I can compare. I’m curious because so many people (well, enough people anyway) speak so highly of perl’s text processing

Right, CLTL2 doesn't conform to the ansi spec. I just wonder if it's common to read all the way through, or as a reference in addition to CLHS, to maybe get some additional perspective on why a feature is a certain way, etc ...

by kagevf 3y ago
Do you know if it's common to read CLTL2 from front to back, or just use it strictly as a reference?
