btiffin 7-Jan-2009 [3156] | Note how the error objects have a great clue in arg1? This is just an example, the code sucks. Don't think about that. Think about a history professor sitting at a desk and typing >> mybook: load %mybook.txt and then fiddling with >> unique or sort or ... while trying to determine how many times he invoked Godwins Law I think this would open up reams of new REBOL communities. Let us pros worry about correctness and DSL and user friendly power apps. But open REBOL to general mishmash for the world at large. No? |
Graham 7-Jan-2009 [3157] | Except Carl has already posted to say Rebol is not for those people. |
btiffin 7-Jan-2009 [3158] | Ahh, good point. Let's keep the knowledge to the illuminati. ;) But more seriously, he also mentioned I think it's time to change our message. REBOL is not for everyone. REBOL is advanced. It promotes the concepts of symbolics, context, and environment as powerful tools, going far beyond the traditional ideas of functions, objects, loops, and if statements. Why not let cunning linguists (if not mom and pop) in on the party too? It would still open up reams of communities. Entice them with "any kind of junky code that works" and then let them sit back and "consider each detail of their design, and sculpt it perfectly as a lasting work of thought." a few minutes after getting hooked? |
Graham 7-Jan-2009 [3159] | I think the answer is to write a more relaxed form of load perhaps as a dialect in this situation. |
Carl 7-Jan-2009 [3160x3] | Stopped by. It must have taken 30 minutes to sync up with this world. You guys talk too much. ;) |
Ah, the "comma topic" -- how many hours I've meditated on that one. | |
It's almost easier to invent a time machine, go back in time, and standardize the world's decimal point. And, maybe if there's a little extra time, standardize the date format too. | |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3163x2] | Carl, are you the "real" one ? |
seems... | |
Carl 7-Jan-2009 [3165] | Let me pinch myself.... yes, it's me. |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3166] | it's been a while... :) |
Carl 7-Jan-2009 [3167x2] | Long time. I've never wanted to wait for this world to load (on this computer, which is in a loft). |
How many messages are there in this world? More than 100'000? | |
Pekr 7-Jan-2009 [3169x4] | I would not expect you here :-) But, cool you stopped by here, as we've got some new users here in last two months ... |
yes, many many messages. I wonder Altme still works without SQL backend :-) | |
(but I have limited msg display ratio to 500 msgs .... when I search for something, I set 5000 or so, but then it starts to crawl) | |
So you came by here, to announce we need more developers for R3 alpha? ;-) | |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3173x2] | i will not have any request (really hard), i just stay here and have a beer waiting for others who will begin to harass you :) |
WHERE IS THE R3 !!! lol | |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3175] | hi Carl! long time no chat :-) |
xavier 7-Jan-2009 [3176] | yessssss you stilll alive :) |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3177] | so how where the grapes this year^ |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3178] | rebolish... |
Pekr 7-Jan-2009 [3179] | I need rebolish beer :-) |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3180] | as long as they're not relish-like :-) |
Pekr 7-Jan-2009 [3181] | ... or whiskey :-) |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3182x2] | or a good chianty :-) |
CARL: Are you aware of the REBOL ANTHEM? | |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3184] | seems is trying to logon again... Altme doesn't like untrusted people :) |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3185] | hahahha |
xavier 7-Jan-2009 [3186] | lol |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3187] | in some decades i will say to the children of my children, that i saw the nickname of Carl talking during 5 minutes on Altme the 07/01/2009 |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3188] | ROTFL !! |
xavier 7-Jan-2009 [3189] | he seems to have problems of synchronisation with the load of messages he didnt read |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3190] | oh |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3191] | happened to me when I synched up last month. |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3192] | oh really ? but don't say that to Reichard. It's not a problem coming from Altme, Atlme has no bugs |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3193] | of course! |
xavier 7-Jan-2009 [3194] | yeah it might be because of cosmic radiation |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3195x3] | no Reichard said to me that it's because i probably changed something on my computer |
(i could not say to him that the only things i downloaded recently are porn movies) | |
it seems that Altme interfers with movies of such types | |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3198] | altme is too pure. |
Pekr 7-Jan-2009 [3199] | too pure? Sometimes I feel that our discussion are like porn. Especially in religion groups :-) |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3200] | so we can conclude that Carl like movies too ;-) |
Janko 7-Jan-2009 [3201] | hehe, you guys are funny.. it's like watching Seinfield |
Maxim 7-Jan-2009 [3202] | so who is Kramer? |
Steeve 7-Jan-2009 [3203] | Kramer is tr |
Janko 7-Jan-2009 [3204] | it should be the one who will rush in thru the door |
xavier 7-Jan-2009 [3205] | mhhhhhh there is some comon points with porn and religion |
