@gregor.kiczales The sandbox problem seems to be a bad interaction with sandboxes and DrRacket’s Popluate "compiled" directories (for faster loading) option in the “Choose Language…” dialog’s “Show Details” panel. I don’t immediately know what the repair should be, but an alternative workaround is to turn that off.

Request for feedback from anyone interested in widescreen support in Slideshow: https://github.com/racket/slideshow/pull/16

@mflatt Is there any plan on making this completely adaptable by using relative units (like rem in css) instead of absolute values? (e.g. font size) It might be easier to design “responsive” slideshows.

I didn’t use slideshow that much yet, so I may be wrong.

@jerome.martin.dev That’s how it works already. Text at a size of 32 drawing units is meaningful only given that the full display area was always 768 drawing units high. To support adaptable slides, we don’t want to interpret all values as relative to both display dimensions, since that would just squash a slide to show it widescreen, so the PR’s compromise is to interpret everything as (very nearly) relative to the display height.

oooh, I see

@mflatt indeed, changing path permissions doesn’t solve the problem. But in case it helps debugging, adding all of the following (which comes from handin-server/sanbox) does make that problem go away ;; no input/output (sandbox-input #f) (sandbox-output #f) (sandbox-error-output #f) ;; no limits -- the handin server uses per-session limits (sandbox-memory-limit #f) (sandbox-eval-limits #f) ;; share these with evaluators (sandbox-namespace-specs (let ([specs (sandbox-namespace-specs)])(,(car specs) ,@(cdr specs) lang/posn ,@(if gui? ‘(mrlib/cache-image-snip) ’()))))

Hi, How can I use tcp-connect with a socks proxy?

FWIW, for me: DrR 7.0 on macOS 10.11.6 is fine. ActivityMonitor says it’s sitting there at 0.2%.

(I do see the Hide issue when I try. But I never hide on macOS so never noticed until 30 seconds ago.)

@gregor.kiczales you can use ``` for multi-line

it’s a bit odd for sure. It’s ONLY when you try to use that menu item. I run an app that hides idle apps and it has no problems. But if you Cmd-H it does what that issue describes…

I tried to dig into the menuing / event code and eventually gave up. too opaque for me.

@jbclements Is there anything special I need to do to get rsound running on windows?

I did raco pkg install rsound, but when I go to require it, I’m getting an error telling me I can’t install portaudio.

I should mention that I’m trying this on Racket 7, if that makes a difference? (@mflatt)
