Remember kids, if someone you don't know approaches you at a protest and tries to get you to commit a violent act, that's not a protestor. That's a cop.

There are two simple rules that nullify any state sponsored agent provocateur instantly:
1. Sit down.
2. Point and chant "cop".

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.
in reply to George Takei 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

And on the no Kings zoom video two days before the protest they were telling them to
- make sure they wear face masks so they couldn't be identified
- not to carry their cell phones
- if they did bring their phones to make sure it was not set to unlock by their face of fingerprint.

Is that stuff you tell people who you dont expect to be causing problems?

The reason I started writing my experimental LISP was I tried TCL and wanted a "more TCL-like" LISP. One reason I was captivated by TCL was you could, in principle ( mastodon.social/@mcc/114004547… ) use it as a text templating language, to generate some entirely non-TCL type of text (HTML, verilog, idk). So this feels like the completion of that thought: Since this is an array manipulation language rather than a text manipulation language, output arrays of symbols, and those get consumed by "something"
in reply to mcc

I can’t remember if I’ve shared this with you or not (so forgive me if I have or if you’ve already seen it), but there’s a lovely paper on value representations in Tcl that I reread occasionally: usenix.org/legacy/publications…

I don’t think it describes what Tcl actually uses (AFAIK it was never incorporated into core Tcl), but a lot of the ideas did get implemented, and it’s a pleasant read.

in reply to mcc

I was aiming this way from the start, because a thing that captivated me about TCL is you can sorta use it as a template language ( mastodon.social/@mcc/114004547… ) to generate other text (HTML,Verilog,idk). This is the (obvious in retrospect?) completion of that thought: I made a LISP, so a *list* processor not a text processor, so obviously the output gets fed to things (like an assembler?) that consumes lists (in this case, lines of an assembly language (for which my LISP becomes a macro language)).
in reply to mcc

I have a rule my LISP has "no special forms", so to make any of this work I'm borrowing a Rustism and saying in my language

(function! x y z)

invokes a macro named "function" with arguments x y z passed to it as un-evaluated symbol trees.

Paired with this, !varname or !(expression here) are symbols/code evaluated at "compile time".

This feels clean enough, though it introduces the oddness there are *separate* runtime and compile-time scopes, and it will get VERY weird once I introduce types.

in reply to mcc

One downside of this is the number of reserved symbols is growing more and more, which is supposed to be uncouth for a LISP. Although I do notice something…

` ' " # ( ) { } [ ] : , . !

Other than #, every reserved symbol in my LISP currently is a symbol used for punctuation in English. If I changed the comment indicator from # to ; (which would be LISPier anyway) then there would be a 1-1 map between English punctuation symbols and LISP reserved symbols. (Minus ?, but I have an idea for that.)

always liked scheme's use of ? in identifiers for things that query. when i'm in a mood to cause chaos, i start using latin capital letter glottal stop (ʔ) for this in other languages.

@prozacchiwawa mutate! and ask? are fun conventions. i don't think i could get used to them, but i like it
in reply to mcc

- / are all in pretty common use in English, too, tho 😀

in reply to Mx. Paige Ashlynn

@mxashlynn Maybe I'll use / for types. Those other two are a little hard to type on some keyboards and maybe aren't good candidates for language syntax.
in reply to mcc

Agreed on them not being good candidates.

In any event, what I should have said was "That's awesome you're making your own LISP!!"

in reply to mcc

I'm confused because what you describe is *exactly*, **precisely** the way that special forms are implemented in Common Lisp?!
in reply to Peter Brett

@krans This is *very* interesting to learn and my thoughts are

1. "No special forms, unless the form name is explicitly delineated with !" is a great rule, as far as I'm concerned.

2. I have a mode where you can turn off the macros, so a "no special forms" mode persists

in reply to mcc

Is the “!” a compile time operator, or part of the transformer's name?
in reply to Peter Brett

I.e. can I call the transformers as regular functions without the “!”?
in reply to Peter Brett

@krans 1. The `!` is a compile time directive to the reader, producing a special Macro() node in the AST, which is removed in a particular compile phase.

2. The ! functions are pulled from a special compile-time scope, so yes, although in the final form of the language you may have to import them from `langtools.macro` or something.

in reply to mcc

I love this! Makes it easy to see what's a function call, and what's deranged magic

"Out of an abundance of caution, the No Kings event in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our hearts are with the elected officials targeted in last night's shooting, their families, and everyone impacted by this tragedy.

"Some events in other parts of the greater Minneapolis area are still moving forward at this time, and we are actively monitoring the situation. We remain in close communication with local and state officials and will follow all safety guidance to protect our communities."<<

Part of me wishes there were more pictures of the protests but then I realize people need to leave their phones home for safety reasons. This works in favour of the fascists because the less documentation, the greater the deniability, which I'm sure is the point. I hope the press are doing their jobs. #NoKings

"It is the second largest recipient of US military aid in the world after Israel.

Today millions of us will peacefully protest this country's slide into fascism at many hundreds of No Kings events.

There's no mention of this gigantic event anywhere on the current NY Times home page, even in stories under the "US Protests" link highlighted here in red.
