#lispyGopherClimate featuring @jeremy_list in one hour (at 0UTC Wednesday = 8pm Boston Tuesday)

I wish that programmer in NZ meant jeremy_list in the general case and not just in the specific case!
#lisp #programming

#secureScuttlebutt (finally explained #live) coming up soon.
Live discussion as always in the Sushi place on the model railway in the second guest bedroom of lambdahouse.
Hey everyone, in about 2 hours (8pm NZT / 8am UTC) @vidak and I are going to talk about both #lisp #gamedev and #climate #activism .
All going according to plan, it will be a #peertube #livestream.
Trying out this new time slot to facilitate people-in-Europe (should be between 8am and lunchtime on Sunday), as well as people in Australia/NZ/similar longitudes who "aren't allowed to join while at work".

My #emacs #writing #writingExperience #emacsCarnival submission.
Discussing my transition to #eev away from being a heavy user of the popular #orgmode.
My writing primarily concerns #lisp #programming, so the difference between #eepitch and #orgBabel features heavily.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone including the other emacs carnivalians.

Installing lisp for beginners.
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/fundamental/installing-lisp-etc/
So much computing is predicated on having this or a conscious alternative decision to it. Here is my attempt to help beginners get this far. What do you think?

Leonardo Calculus Knowledge Representation: Fleshing out organismâs attributes
Adding attributes to the organism type (plant, insect and bird are all subsumed-by organism). I also add a coelacanth of type organism to a world entityfile. In my view, quite a good and informational/instructional article if I do say so. What do you think?

Plant Insect Bird practical formal ontology with Leonardo calculus
I revisit my #lispgames #gamejam #gamedev. In this article I create a formal ontology to be a vehicle for my concrete game redux of the jam (which had been lacklustre if technically interesting. Let's be technically interesting and have more lustre this time round.
Thoughts, commentary, ontological guidance gentle and stern if you will please.

If you have adjacent thoughts or questions you might like Ksaj and I (and the usual crowd) to consider, please do discuss them here.

There is no leader- they're just talking. However, they are using #emacs #slime #eepitch and sleeps so you can usefully watch them.
A precursor to next week's episode featuring @ksaj discussing breitenbergian vehicles etc.
Do you use a cluster of #lisp images?

This week, DJ @damaru of the Evolution Revolution will talk, including about using emacs as a #writer.
I will share my #eev mode experience, and @eduardoochs should be in #emacsconf on IRC.
I'm going to mention incredible show artist @prahou with reference to gef's last episode.

#programming #engineering #systems I work sketching graphs of complex systems in canonical #lisp with #mcclim #emacs #eev .
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/complex/complex-systems/
Back of envelope theories of complex systems, as always with my mostly relating to off-hand comments Winograd made in the first page of his Breaking The Complexity Barrier (Again) paper.
What do you think?
Main feature is bootstrapping making these graphs somewhat in terms of themselves metacircularly.
đ đȘ What happened in #commonlisp land in the last two years?

Kinda rushed, but I show the kitten server operator and kitten visitors interacting in real time (the kitten visitor by hitting a kitten page, the kitten server operator by reading and setting kittendb values in the kitten shell).
What do you think @mdhughes @aral
Obviously the kitten host will be robotic, but I thought this is a useful half-interaction to see.

A tiny bit of window dressing for the CLIM 2 spec's FORMAT-GRAPH-FROM-ROOTS. Which I use a lot because it is vanishingly little work, paste or type in some cons trees, voila, they merge matching symbols because I set that to happen, I can press a button to change the graphs, all great.
