Hey fediverse! Is anyone of you interested in #scheme or #lisp (or even #programming in general)?

I’m starting to work on the manual of CHICKEN Scheme’s upcoming major release.

Do you have anything you would love to see in a manual or tutorial introduction? Any input in welcome!

(boost if you want to help a cool open-source project 😇)

In `git merge foo` the current branch is the target (and foo is the source). In `git rebase foo` the current branch is the source (and foo the target). I find this a bit confusing and difficult to remember. (Or, is there a better way to think about this?)

Python is (nearly) ubiquitous, easy to learn, ... but sooo boring and not fun to code/build in. Saying this as I read a book chock-full of python code examples. OT-one-H, I grok stuff straightaway; OTOH I'm not motivated to code in it *at all*.

@tomharris @body melisma is correct. also wanted to add that in the states we say “run” or “vocal run” to mean the same thing.

@ckeen then after that `ifconfig interface down` then `dhclient interface` and that's gets me a lease (`interface` is your wireless interface of course.) sorry if you already knew all that.

@ckeen on my obsd client i don't use wpa_supplicant, i just jack in all that info manually at the shell prompt via ifconfig, e.g.: ifconfig interface nwid network-id wpakey password.

@clarkenciel@cybre.space inorite. there was a dude on cll that once passed off some obscure code to a n00b that would have essentially `rm -fr /`ed n00b's machine, as a lesson (i guess to not blindly cut and paste code). only one or two regulars on cll chastised him for that; most others agreed or were silent. :/

if you thought "yacc" sounds like someone was vomiting something, then "byacc" sounds like it even more! :)
