I keep learning a lot about Scheme hygienic macros and macroexpander and today we talked about using macro as identifiers in arbitrary position of s-expression, syntax parameters, variable transformers and identifier-syntax helper.

There Are Two Kinds of Credit Cards

Yet another way the poor are subsidizing the rich

"i am not #maga please don't scroll i have a moral compass and a soul": #America first to shoot itself in the foot: 78% of all #aid to #Ukraine was spend on #US arms #US contracts means this money went STRAIGHT back to #US to the corrupt #weapons companies #war is a #racket and #Americans just fooled themselves

"Think of Sketching as what #Processing would have looked like, if it used #Racket as its programming language instead of Java. Alternatively, think of Sketching as Racket with an easy to use graphics library."

This has to be good enough for a faculty position right? like it's a pretty nice spread of topics, and like my main research direction of proof repair has a bunch of follow up works?????

If I somehow manage to sort out the rest of my life, I feel like I could really kill it as a researcher

(this was also made in #racket btw)

I like using #Powershell and #Racket in combination to do some cool stuff. Here's a blog post on using PS and Racket to automate a repetitive task:

" #Zuckerberg and #Bezos responded to Trump’s threats to themselves and their businesses by literally journeying to Mar-a-Lago and figuratively handing #Trump envelopes of cash while publicly praising the incoming president.

There is no way to view this except as a protection #racket. They are paying Trump and praising Trump in the hopes that Trump will make sure nothing unfortunate happens to their nice little businesses."

Things seem to be shaping up pretty nicely with the #38c3 #Lisp assembly!

https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/assembly/lisp/

The assembly page has been updated with:

- a little logo (attached)
- a list of Lisp-projects that we plan to reach out to
- a CoC (bit of a work in progress, for now we're just referring to Guix's CoC...)

Coming next: IRC and Matrix chats.

Breaking news: the proposal for a #Lisp assembly at #38c3 has been accepted! This is so exciting!

38c3 is the 38th edition of the Chaos Communication Congress, the annual hacker conference happening in Hamburg, Germany from 27th to 30th December. Roughly speaking, a Congress assembly is a space that's made available for a self-organised group, to collaborate, organise workshops, talks, etc. around a specific project or area of interest.

tl;dr This is to gather feedback around a potential all-things-Lisp assembly at #38c3. Reply and retoot as you see fit.

As always, #37c3 was a blast for me, but I was slightly surprised by the lack of Lisp-related events/assemblies, at least that was my perception. Let's fix this!

What are your feelings about organising a 38c3 Lisp assembly around our favourite family of programming languages? I'm glad to collect ideas and put together a short proposal when the call for assemblies opens.

Other than spreading the word and collecting feedback, my to-do list includes:

- Understand process and timeline around sending an assembly proposal.
- Organise things via some shared repository or wiki.

I'm tagging this with a few Lisp-related keywords that are of particular interest to me or that I'm aware of, but I'm sure this can be extended much further. What other projects/groups should I include and/or reach out to?
