8pm Tuesday Boston time
#lispyGopherClimate#commonLisp #astrophysics #supercomputing#softwareEngineering #archive , https://communitymedia.video/w/9kysH4ZwVuP4J4erZozqFT we will have (now done) a live interview with

https://as.tufts.edu/physics/people/faculty/ken-olum

about the recent largest-ever cosmic string simulation also introducing their new spacetime-volume pseudo-parallel simulation technique, relating to gravitational backreaction.

People sometimes ask, "who uses common lisp today".

Olum learned #lisp from John McCarthy.

This #live episode / interview will be more "interviewing a physicist" (at their request), though I will be watching for live questions/comments/responses in #lisp on #irc as well as in the usual moo room, but the VR will not be a central subject. Additional questions here please!

We will also talk about Olum's use of dictation software.

#MPI as well.

For folks (like me) who block boosts, here is a very good story of how I too experienced the internet in the mid-1990s.

"I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. [...]"

@dansup Some things truly never change. I have >20 year old pictures from #irc parties that look pretty much the same 🥰🖖

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger#Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal¹, #Telegram, #Discord², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

  • WHY is there no #CrossProvider#Messenger to handle that shite?

  • WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated#WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

  • Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

  • Can we please get that back?

@sacha hey, I'm having @damaru on the #lispyGopherClimate tomorrow (and @eduardoochs is going to hang out live in #emacsconf on #irc) -

I was just wondering if you had anything you would like to see an early-emacs-days #writer do with #emacs in our community particularly (noting your https://sachachua.com/topic/#topic-index-emacs-and-writing ).

Sorry, gef, for volunteering you for lab experiments ;p

Honestly my goal is to see whether #eev anchors work for his flow, and whether it's-possible to use my own 'easy' graph stuff.
