Well,. the good news this morning is that i found a stupid bug in `cdr` which, once you've seen it, you can't unsee, so the seventh #PostScarcitySoftware #Lisp prototype is now completing initialisation and entering the REPL.
The bad news is that there's an unterminating recu…

I did ten hours on #PostScarcitySoftware yesterday, and then slept a bit, and then woke up with an intention to rapid prototype a '#Lisp structure editor in the browser' idea I've been thinking on for a while. I did about five hours on that, and it's looking promising.
I&…

The WEditor prototype, viewing a Clojure project file. The popup text at the mouse pointer shows the underlying s-expression represented by that element in the displayed document. This isn't perfect but it looks usable.
The editor displaying its own source code (in Clojure). Again, this looks usable.
The prototype editor displaying some code from the Post Scarcity 0.0.6 prototype.
The editor viewing some Lisp 1.5 code, from Beowulf (actually taken from page 66 of the Lisp 1.5 Programmer's Manual).

I did not know this, but it makes sense: When you send a parcel, put name and address of both sender and addressee both outside and *inside* the parcel. So say the Universal Postal Union regulations:
"The office of posting shall also advise the sender to put in the parcel a copy of his address and that of the addressee."

I've started my development log for May. It's really mostly about tooling -- specifically, editors and debuggers.

In other news, I'm now posting my #PostScarcitySoftware development log on my blog, in case anyone is interested. Which, if you're sane, you won't be. #Lisp

Der #Winterportulak kann wild ausgesät sehr dicht wachsen und bekommt damit sogar den #Grünkohl unterdrückt.
Wobei der Grünkohl in diesem Pflanzkasten im vergangenen Jahr nicht mehr viel Zeit zum Wachsen hatte. Seit 14 Tagen kann ich den

I guess it's "Public Education" be damned.

"Don Avison, a former deputy minister of education and former board chair for Emily Carr University, has been tasked with suggesting fixes that don’t rely on additional provincial funding."
---
me: Students, Insitituions, and previous NDP government reviews have been warning about this for years.
----
"Freedom of Information requests obtained by student advocates showed that Wright was warning the province as early as 2023 about the dangers of colleges and universities relying on international student tuition — and that further increasing international enrolment wouldn’t solve financial issues."
"In its submission to Avison, the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators said the undermining of B.C.’s resource economy by U.S. tariffs makes having a robust system of post-secondary education outside the Lower Mainland even more vital.
It said public post-secondary institutions are “widening access, stabilizing households, and giving people the tools to stand on their own two feet.”"

It has to be admitted, she can't do very much yet.

There's a Common #Lisp cryptography library called 'Ironclad'. I'm going to need cryptography for #PostScarcitySoftware authentication, but Post Scarcity #Lisp is going to be a lot more…
