Whither newLISP? / Re: Eric Raymond Blog - Small community scripting languages
March 04, 2015, 08:20:09 AM
Quote from: "Ryon"Mail is sent from newlispfanclub at alh dot net, to the address in your Control Panel > Profile > Edit Account Settings page.

Understood. Apparently it was not my filter, just Saveing the default settings has resulted my receipt of notifications .... thanks

Thanks Ryon, I'll follow your instructions. Also, could you tell me what the exact email address of the notification is?

I may very well have a filter that is catching it in error and rerouting it.

Edited : I checked the default settings for Edit Posting Results and replies were enabled by

default. Even tho' I made no changes, I did do a Save... Next thing to check is whether my filter

are rerouting replies based on the sender email address.


Quote from: "Ryon"Seems simple enough, enter your email address in the Control Panel, check the Notify Me box, and things should work! I've verified that you did this correctly and also ran a check on our mail server, and everything seems to be in order. So, why isn't this working?



This seems to have been a common issue with phpBB forum software for the past several years, and I don't see any consensus among the admins or support as to its cause. I don't want to change any code or DB settings until I understand the problem.



There is a setting in the UCP > Board Preferences > Edit Posting Results that enables replies by default. If you don't mind getting replies on all your posts, maybe this will work for you. You must be subscribed to the topic/forum before the emails will be sent, and  you will only get one email per new post until you visit the topic, no matter how may replies are made.



Thanks for your participation here, Tim, and hope this helps!

Good to hear from everyone.



Surprising tidbit about autolisp!



Bye the way, I have not got any notifications about replies to this thread.

I have checked "Notify me when a reply is posted" under options.

Email address as stored in my User Control Panel is current.

Is there anything else that I need to configure?



thanks

Whither newLISP? / Eric Raymond Blog - Small community scripting languages
February 28, 2015, 03:43:02 PM
I just came across the thread about the Eric Raymond blog. Since it dates back to June 2014 - I thought I would start another one. I found blog very interesting, with the some smug pushback, but not nearly as virulent as pushback I've seen on Common Lisp venues years past.



 I would note that at one time I wrote a emacs major mode for newlisp. (Don't know what became of it, will look for the code) I also wrote a content management application for my (non-newlisp) CGI projects. Not sure where that one went either ...



Autolisp was my first scripting (as opposed to compiled) language (early 90's). Rebol was my first general-purpose scripting language. I did a lot of work in that at one time, but rebol is in a semi-mothballed state, although I still maintain my invoicing system of some complexity using the rebol 2.



Rebol 3 and the red fork are still under some degree of development.



I'm glad to see that newlisp still keeps on keepin' on.



I would appreciate if folks reading this could share what they are doing in newlisp.

Cheers

Anything else we might add? / Re: Off topic: What web hosting do you like/recommend?
December 14, 2011, 03:01:17 PM
Since it has been several years since I last posted regarding Hostmonster, I want to say that I have

moved all of my domains to hostmonster and I haven't been able to think of anything bad about them at all. Their tech support is spot on and they have turned out to be very reliable.

newLISP in the real world / Re: REPL and newline
July 17, 2010, 10:48:14 AM
Time didn't permit me to read this thread thoroughly, but I use both vim and emacs and have

done considerable scripting for each.

If you use linux (and I presume that you may do the same on OS X), in vim

you can

1)Grab some text in visual mode

2)Feed it to a temporary file

3)Evaluate the temporary file

4)Read the output into a vim buffer (example: the same as where you captured the text).

Thus you can simulate the emacs *scratch* buffer without using readline and REPL.

I haven't done this for newlisp, since I use emacs for newlisp and employ comint mode,

but I have done a utility or two in vim that that employs the process I've outlined above.

 

Let me know and I could work with you on it. Or send the existing

code, which could then be modified.

cheers

newLISP in the real world / Re: SBCL to newLISP

Michael, I've never used setf like that. The docs say
Quotesetf is used when setting list or array references

but I see from my own console:
Code Select

> (setf a 1)
1
> a
1

I don't understand, why "but"? His test code shows it's better to use one call.

Oh for Pete's Sake, you're right, my brain has been AWOL these couple of days!

I misread the results.

The idea of using one call to set

with multiple symbol/value pairs

versus

multiple calls to set

with just one symbol/value pair for each call

appeals to my aversion to redundancy.

but michael makes a compelling case in the test code that he posted.



I should have some time in the next few days to run some more complex tests where

the variables are something other than integers.



thanks

I'll buy that one. I wonder if differences would change with more complex data types?

Also, why use multiple calls to 'set when one will do?

newLISP newS / Re: newlisp.vim 1.31
May 22, 2010, 08:58:58 AM
I have the following
Code Select

" .vimrc
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.lsp set filetype=newlisp
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.lsp setlocal shiftwidth=2 tabstop=2
I put newlisp.vim in my ~/.vim/syntax directory

I also put my own auxiliary newlisp.vim in ~/.vim/after/syntax

In there I put stuff like highlighting for my own user-defined "standard library"



I have not had to tweak filetype.vim at all.



On my slackware system, since I have installed vim via compilation filetype.vim is at

/usr/local/share/vim/vim72.



BTW: I only use vim for ad hoc editing (launched from MC). I primarily use emacs

with the newlisp mode that I wrote for it several years ago. I don't care for emacs

default indentation schema, so I modified that.

newLISP in the real world / Re: accessing a list number by a symbol for a list
May 04, 2010, 08:34:26 AM
And we use 'slice as in
Code Select
(slice (map eval ndxs) 1)

Implicit indexing is great feature. I might add to the documentation of

this subject something of the subject here.



I.E. use of symbols, etc.



:)But then, I'm a real noob when it comes to the functional programming paradigm.

Code Select

Sure does. 'map threw me for a bit of a loop because
Code Select
(record (map (eval ndxs)))
generates an error.

thanks.

newLISP in the real world / accessing a list number by a symbol for a list
May 03, 2010, 02:56:46 PM
Code Select

> (set 'record '(("name" "Tim")(age 61)))  
(("name" "Tim") (age 61))
> (set 'indices '(1 0))
(1 0)
> (record indices)
age    ;; correct
> (set 'ndxs '(a b))
(a b)
> (record ndxs)
ERR: value expected :  ;; duh!

So how may I 'bind' the values in 'ndxs to the implicit indexing of 'record?

I'm hoping there is a tie-in to the previous question, I.E. I might want to

index 'record by a slice of the values in 'ndxs also.

thanks
