Question, are people on Mastodon as willing to become close as on Bluesky? A lot of my Bluesky friends also became Discord etc friends and I don't know if it's similar here

[] at 8am 0UTC=9am CET, ( #commonLisp 's) @kentpitman is going to give a live video #demo of his lisp-style error handling in #python . At this #peertube #live link:

Archive will be up here tomorrow!

We also expect to talk about the #slime swanky python #emacsconf talk: https://emacsconf.org/2025/talks/swanky/ whose author should be on the Tuesday-night-in-the-Americas show this week.

If you have #mastoQuestions please leave them here #AMA (on topic), and I guess #lisp on #irc live. #programming

hmmm is there a way to have a users posts in one timeline but their boosts in another

preferrably neither in the home timeline

#emacs #advice

hey, in my super late (I swear, I got permission) #emacsconf half our talk recording, I want to reference McCarthy's Programs With Common Sense (1958/1959). https://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/mcc59.pdf . In McCarthy's the-six-things-lisp-was-intended-to-be-good-at, "programming the advice taker (hypothetical program)".

But I want to tread carefully around the term advice in emacs, which I think has a specific and common meaning; does anyone have a book or link for me to look over? #mastoquestions

With apologies everyone, is javascript's

foo`bar${baz}buz${bif}frob${ulous}${ly}`

sugar (?) for

(apply 'foo '(#("bar" "buz" "frob" "") #("baz" "bif" "ulous" "ly")))
