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".

Right. Okay, so far no mention of a flyer in the article. just this:

"time, the Minnesota State Patrol asked the public to "not attend todayโ€™s planned demonstrations across Minnesota out of an abundance of caution."

At least two โ€œNo Kingsโ€ rallies in northeast Minnesota have been postponed due to ongoing shelter-in-place orders"

SHOW UP ANYWAY

When the cops say stay home -- SHOW UP

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected โ€” but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.
in reply to George Takei ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿฝ

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/114004547โ€ฆ ) 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 canโ€™t remember if Iโ€™ve shared this with you or not (so forgive me if I have or if youโ€™ve already seen it), but thereโ€™s a lovely paper on value representations in Tcl that I reread occasionally: usenix.org/legacy/publicationsโ€ฆ

I donโ€™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 itโ€™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/114004547โ€ฆ ) 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 somethingโ€ฆ

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

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 (ส”) 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

- โ€” / are all in pretty common use in English, too, tho ๐Ÿ˜€

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 โ€œ!โ€ 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 โ€œ!โ€?
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

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.

Food suggestion.
I'm going to make a basic salad with beets and boiled eggs ...
Any suggestion as to what type/flavour of dressing to use on it?

#beets #food #dressing #salad

in reply to ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ OhOkKay

pickled beets ( where they have a vinegar brine) or straight roasted beets ( no added flavour)?
I be been liking tahini honey dressings lately( literally honey and tahini to taste) when another source of tartness is in the dish alreadyโ€ฆ.
