| hefner | the earth cries out for a common lisp font editor |
| mgr | hefner: I have made quite some accented letters. Had fontforge not decided to not start anymore then I could tell you the exact unicode range.. hefner: I've added the letters from U+0384 to U+03ce, and U+3d1. |
| nyef | mgr: Cool. |
| mgr | nyef: Thank you! add some .Xmodmap magic and it's really easy to input them. :) |
| lisppaste | mgr pasted ".Xmodmap for greek letters (via Control_R)" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/37906 |
| action | hefner has forgotten why mgr wanted greek letters |

| lisppaste | dsteuber annotated #37743 with "Backpropigation function is completely wrong" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/37743#3 |
| dsteuber | minion: help memo |
| minion | To send a memo, say something like ``minion: memo for nick: the memo''. I'll remember the memo for any nick which is the same as the given nick, +/- differences in punctuation, and any nick which is an alias for it, and give it to them when they next speak. |
| dsteuber | minion: memo for ignas: Can you please help me out with paste 37743? |
| minion | Remembered. I'll tell ignas when he/she/it next speaks. |
| dsteuber | minion: memo for rahul: Can you please help me out with paste 37743? |
| minion | Remembered. I'll tell rahul when he/she/it next speaks. |
| avar | 'When I hear people complain about Lisp's parentheses, it sounds to my ears like someone saying: "I tried one of those bananas, which you say are so delicious. The white part was ok, but the yellow part was very tough and tasted awful."' (Paul Graham)++ |
| dsteuber | Where did PG say that? |
| avar | I don't know, it was on the wikiquote page http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lisp_programming_language |
| Riastradh | Hmm. That one about the ball of mud is not anonymous; it was Alan Perlis, and there is some context missing involving APL and diamonds (and what happens when you try to extend a diamond). |
| dsteuber | They could certainly do a better job with citations. Perhaps point to a URL if the quote was made online. |
| avar | yeah, damn wikipeople |
| dsteuber | "I've heard rumors on the Internets" |
| krunar | dsteuber: fix it? :) it's a wiki after all |
| dsteuber | I am afraid of wiki-fu. |
| Riastradh | Complaining is so much easier! |
| dsteuber | Exactly! My brain is too stuck on trying to correctly implement a general back propagation function for neural network code to fix a wiki. |
| redwyrm | ick. |
| luis | dsteuber: just fire up matlab and run the wizard :) |
| dsteuber | I don't have matlab. And would the wizard give me Lisp code? |
| luis | No, it'd give a neural network though along with pretty graphics. |
| dsteuber | I'm not sure that would be very useful to me. |
| jonathon | Question... I'm trying to convert a list of row-wise data into a list of columnar data... why would this... (defmacro undo-table (table) `(mapcar #'list ,@table)) |
