01:47 <XorSwap> dzoe, thanks!

08:51 <rlp10> I have a list of structs which include a field which is a gregor datetime. I can 'write' it to a file, but when I 'read' it back I get an error saying '#<' is bad syntax. What would be the easiest way for me to write my list to a file and back again?

08:53 <rlp10> My thoughts are: (a) maybe there is another function instead of read/write that could do this? (b) maybe I can tell Racket how to read/write gregor datetimes (say by turning them into ISO-8601 strings? or (c) maybe I can change the implementation of my struct so that it is always saved as an ISO-8601 string, but translates it to a gregor datetime when I set or access that field. I'm not sure which option sounds most reasonable.

09:09 <rlp10> Ahh it seems that the first option will work. There are a pair of functions serialize/deserialize in racket/serialize which seem to be able to function with gregor datetimes. The output is a bit wordy, but it works.

18:21 <samth> dzoe: I expect asumu will get the PPA up relatively soon; the only issue last time was with propagating a fix

18:21 <bremner> I will lazily let asumu fix things :P

18:43 <bremner> bummer, the Y combinator chapter from the little schemer doesn't seem to be on Mathias' home page anymore.

18:46 <samth> bremner: I think it's here? https://felleisen.org/matthias/BTLS-sample.pdf

18:47 <bremner> oh, cool. thanks. I guess just the top level page moved
