01:22 <rick42> Clumsy McClumsypants

04:50 <Blue_flame> Did you read this? http://archive.is/AUxogApparently to get a visa to visit US one needs to share 5yrs worth of social media history

04:51 <Blue_flame> It hit send before I was ready to actually send. http://archive.is/AUxog

05:06 <clacke_movim> This how the US competes with China, not in business or economy, in putting its nose into people's private business.

05:15 <Blue_flame> Yeah, when one does it others follow the lead. Like school's in japan now require your social media profiles, if you lie or refuse, they won't even let you complete your education :/

05:51 <beneroth|idle> what? I didn't know about Japan.

05:51 <beneroth|idle> what business has the school to care about social media?

05:52 <beneroth|idle> btw. that USA is not also requesting (yet) your "social media" passwords is noteworthy, they planned to require passwords too

06:05 <Blue_flame> Passwords too *not yet*. Avoiding them we save the effort.

13:28 <aecepoglu[m]> Hey, is this #picolisp on #freenode?

13:29 <Blue_flame> #picolisp channel on the freenode network

13:31 <aecepoglu[m]> Awesome, I am connecting through Matrix bridge and it seemed like it was somewhere else. I just wanted to confirm

13:31 <aecepoglu[m]> I picked up picolisp recently, loving the language and wanted to say hi to everyone else :)

13:32 <Blue_flame> Welcome to the picolisp community! :-)

13:32 <Blue_flame> How did you find picolisp?

13:36 <aecepoglu[m]> I get an urge to pick up a lisp a few times a year but never do it

13:38 <aecepoglu[m]> Yesterday when I had to remember some Perl to maintain a utility I had to process emails I decided to seek a simpler language to be able to slap things together with.

13:43 <Blue_flame> Interesting. Jumping from perl. The general trend appears to be for things to be simpler. I myself tried this one after evaluating other lisp options. This was the cleanest option out there.

13:47 <aecepoglu[m]> Oh me too. I was first drawn to clisp, because that was what I had used a long while ago. Then I decided to look for things that were simpler/leaner

13:48 <aecepoglu[m]> Blue_flame: what things do you use pico for?

13:49 <Blue_flame> Scripting, scraping/filtering, writing webapps and other general stuff

13:51 <Blue_flame> This is my preferred language for general purpose code. I also this to try out new ideas. Just not heavy maths. I use J for that one.

13:51 <Blue_flame> *use this...

14:07 <aecepoglu[m]> Hm, my primary language for general purpose programming is OCaml lately. But I haven't been able to make a transition where I can use it professionally :/

14:08 <Regenaxer> Hi aecepoglu[m], welcome!

14:08 <Regenaxer> Hi Blue_flame

14:46 <Blue_flame> Hi Regenaxer!
