Every now and then I bust out a Lisp interpreter and poke at it for a few hours, and think about how much less software would suck if it had gotten popular instead of C. Lisp may be the most beautiful written language of any kind, and as an industry we’re stuck in a loop constantly trying to reinvent it, badly.

Hey, #functionalcafe users! Looks like the server migration has been successful!
I still have to tune some little details, pgbouncer for example, so there can be other minor hiccup in the service.
As always, you can contact me if you notice anything weird.
Thanks.
Hello fellow #functionalcafe users.
In case you've missed the administration announcement, I need to migrate the actual instance to another server.
It will take part of the weekend (6-7/2) and the instance will not be available.
Thanks for your patience.

Hello #functionalcafe,
Thanks to https://upptime.js.org/ now functional.cafe has its own status page at https://status.functional.cafe where you can see if the main site has any problem and keep updated with the resolutions.

I woke up early, got bored, hyperfocused and wrote a graphical utility for calculating bidding values of hands for #skat in one sitting. Only a bit over 500 lines of #Racket. Give it a try here: https://github.com/erkin/skat-bidder
ELS2021 online is announced and the call for papers is out. Looking forward to it!! 🤩

I'm slowly migrate myself to https://p.functional.cafe, the new Pleroma instance of #functionalcafe, just to understand how hard it is to self-migrate.
A self-migration means the old statuses from Mastodon will be lost.
Does anybody use a curved monitor for work? I was wondering if it can be convenient having a single big curved monitor instead of two smaller ones. Maybe one 34" ultrawide instead of two 24" flat...

Hi guys,
Sorry for the unannounced downtime, I updated the instance with the last changes of #glitch (the Mastodon fork we are using).
Thanks for your patience.
Are you a #Ruby programmer and/or know a bit about Mastodon's export? The instance I'm on, functional.cafe, plans to move to #Pleroma, but the only migration tool doesn't support #Mastodon 3.0 :( We're running Glitch v3.2.0+glitch.
Here's the issue: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/migrator/-/issues/8
@mdallastella is the instance admin, he'll probably be able to answer further questions.
Can anyone help?
Hello #functionalcafe people. It's been a while since we voted to migrate this instance to #Pleroma.
Unfortunately, at the moment, we have some issues to migrate the statuses: the only migration tool (https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/migrator) doesn't work with our version of Mastodon. If any #Ruby programmer has time/will to give a hand, it's welcome.
Another possibility is that I set up the new Pleroma instance on a subdomain and slowly every user can migrate their data at their own pace... Of course, I'm open to suggestions.
I reinvented threading macros in Common Lisp a little bit, this time from the point of view of "what if each binding step was a value of its own?"
And I wrote a sizeable tutorial for them, too.
