Hey les mastolyonnais·es, quelqu'un·e sait pourquoi on ne peut plus charger de tickets sur les cartes TCL ? J'ai rien trouvé en ligne là-dessus, ni d'affiché nulle part.

Pour info, le tram T4 est coupé entre Archives départementales et Thiers-Lafayette ce matin (il ne dessert pas Part-Dieu). J'imagine que c'est lié aux fortes pluies du week-end... Il faut marcher pour rejoindre la 2e partie de la ligne.

Belle galère dans les transports lyonnais ce lundi matin, et aussi sur la route visiblement à cause de l'éboulement dans la montée de la Boucle.

#SQLite was designed as an #TCL extension. There are ~trillion SQLite databases in active use. SQLite heavily relies on #TCL: C code generation via mksqlite3c.tcl, C code isn't edited directly by the SQLite developers, and for testing , and for doc generation). The devs use a custom editor written in Tcl/Tk called "e" to edit the source! There's a custom versioning system Fossil, a custom chat-room written in Tcl/Tk!

Might as well give this a shot.

I want to get out of my current field and do something I can be happy with for a company I can feel good about. I'm currently in the SE US, but want to move back to mid-Atlantic/ North East. Remote is good too.

I have over 10 years of experience of various odd jobs in the embedded electronics space. I'm often moved around as I pick things up quickly and give insight others find valuable.
I've done FPGA verification, FPGA design, software and hardware reverse engineering. I have at least some experience with most standard embedded communication protocols and am very at home in electronics labs. I've recently been self teaching web dev using #Flask. I know #VHDL , #python , a bit rusty on #tcl , #c , and #cpp.

Replied to mcc

@mcc I have personally used [subst] in exactly that way: as a templating language for stuff. It's very effective for some basic things. Also really easy to build around it and do even more powerful things due to how #Tcl allows you to build your own language constructs.

So like in addition to [foreach] I could do a [webForeach] (for wont of a better name) that returns whatever string is in it, concatenated for each iteration, but runs [subst] on it for each round.

Replied to mcc

@mcc there’s a very important reason for that. Remember, everything is a string. Code is too. Passing a code body to e.g. [proc] is just that. You are not passing a block, but a string wrapped in {} so as to avoid evaluating variables and everything else inside the body parameter. You could pass it in “ but you would have to escape lots of stuff.

#Tcl takes a while to fully understand, but it is very consistent which allows a lot of very nice things.

Continued thread

Answers to the above questions per #tcl on libera:

- Type compatibility in tcl can be tested with [string is …]. "Actual" (interpreter level) type is apparently not exposed. tcl-lang.org/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd

- Strings can be concatenated with [string cat …].

- Arrays are "weird"; they live in a single scope and can't be exported or passed to a function except by breaking things with "upvar". Additionally, dicts are ordered. "arrays" feel like an old version of "dicts" and I think I intend to avoid them

My 2017 #HiSense TV has just died, so I did 3 minutes "research", and TCL looks like a worthy competitor in the value-for-money TV market.

55" TVs are now slightly less than what I paid for the expired 50" TV, so I would welcome anyone's input on my choice of replacement.

I really don't care about most of the finer technical details - more about usability and reliability.

“I am watching films that were made for TCL, the largest #TV manufacturer on Earth as part of a pilot program designed to normalize #AI movies and TV shows for an audience that it plans to #monetize explicitly with targeted #advertising and whose internal data suggests that the people who watch its free television streaming network are too lazy to change the channel.”

@fosstodon Hi! The Tcl/Tk project would like to switch from Twitter to Mastodon. It is an established FOSS project (tcl-lang.org/about/history.htm), and Fosstodon seems like a good place for it. Could you give the project an invite? The move is authorized by the person currently running the Twitter account. They can confirm it on Twitter, in #tcl on Libera.Chat, via email. The invite should go to @torstenberg, the new social-media volunteer. I am a #tcl user volunteering to help with the transition.

The worst part of the whole smart TV, is that we need the darn OS even if we just want to use one external device (at least in my TCL)

Even if you do not use googleTV and it was never connected to the internet the OS always boots up first, this means that if for some reason the OS fails to boot or whatever hard drive it has fails pufff no more TV for you.

**The annoying lazy habit of delegating to the OS what the firmware should do**
