Need to check it then!

@deactivateduser60718 My guess: If the path matches the servlet folder, then http://index.ht\|index.ht,l from the servlet folder is served (servlets are checked before extra-files-root).
Consider using a dispatcher instead. I.e. use (serve/servlet rs:dispatch
#:port port
#:launch-browser? launch-browser?
#:servlet-path "" ; initial to show in browser
#:servlet-regexp #rx""
#:extra-files-paths (list files-root)) Then any path the dispatcher let’s through is search in the extra-files-paths.
Does anyone how to send a string into the system pasteboard? (i.e. a function that works like the terminal command pbcopy )
(send the-clipboard get-clipboard-string 0)
oops send to sorry
set-clipboard-string
Clipboard! Thanks … it is sign that I have been using mac so long I forgot that “pasteboard” is used only on macs.
Oh good, on re-reading I thought you were talking about the editor pasteboard% .
It’s even called “klippebord“ in Danish.
@samdphillips: It is too strong IMO, but there really is a particular kind of thinking that drives a preference for sexprs. I just couldn’t come up with one clinical-sounding word for it. If you press me, I’d probably say “solitudinous”, in hopes that this audience picks up on my intended connotation.
> What does “unsure if ecosystems can be managed” mean? @rokitna By “managed”, I mean “controlled by an individual for their own purposes”.
Pondering this some more I’m definitely referring to a pretty specific type of person and it was not fair to generalize that whole discussion with the term. It is definitely a knee-jerk reaction to comments about saying something is complicated without digesting the reading.
Actually I was just pretty disappointed in many commenters not doing the reading. Moral (for me): just let it go.
I bet a lot of commenters were more excited to talk about their “Lisp with Algol Syntax” thoughts than to engage with substance in the specifics of Honu. (And I’m being that too, pretty much.) People with more of a comment than a question.
But I sorta think that they’re not stopping the people who do want to talk about Honu, just being warm bodies with some chitchat that may or may not lead anywhere.
There are like one or two of them who have little but shame to contribute, and maybe they have a chilling effect on the discussion, so I can understand being disappointed in some of it.
I also think that it’s not wrong to think that quite a few s-expression fans in general have some dead-end justifications in mind, like “it worked for Viaweb” or “it’s just inherently better” or even “it’s supernatural.” I find that exhausting myself. I still think people often have underlying good reasons but that those unhelpful reasons are easier to articulate.
I think the advantages of prefix notation, in terms of the reinventing-the-language effort level, are mostly invisible until there’s a community where more than one language implementation is maintained. In that sense, I think the choice of prefix notation is a choice to set aside individualistic style to make one’s work available to the wider community. “Solitudinous” doesn’t sound like a good word for that. I also see this as being the opposite of “controlled by an individual.”
Instead, it’s more like “conformist.” I don’t think there’s a simple value judgment I can assign to conformism. Conformist styles can have impacts that are accessible or exclusionary (or both). The same person can find value in using multiple conformist styles and individualistic styles in different contexts in their life.
There is conformism to using the infix style too. I think neither infix nor prefix is solitudinous.
Yikes… that’s a waste of time. I’ve repaired this in a push I just made. I also added the I-cant-believe-it-wasnt-already-there rs-frame-rate function.
Thanks.
Is there a placeholder for Racket language like “…” on beginning student language. If not, what do you guys use when creating function templates?
I find this placeholder really useful when I want to test partial programs.
if it’s in expression position I just use #f
There is a lang (that I cannot remember the name of) that allows ... and has an interface for keeping track of what you need to complete.
