ALT Post on bsky by @slothropsmap.bsky.social: I keep an informal little equation in my head at all times: irony-poisoned → low trust → fascism I don’t care if it’s cringe. You have to believe in things, earnestly, to acknowledge that progress is happening and better things yet remain. Your “lol, lmao” at every little thing is death.
ALT Creates a new pict by aligning the descent and ascent lines of each adjacent pair of picts. That is, each pict is vertically positioned such that its ascent line (as reported by pict-ascent) is aligned with the previous pict’s descent line (as reported by pict-descent). Each pict is horizontally positioned so that it immediately follows the previous pict’s last element (as reported by pict-last). The alignment rules used by line-append make it useful for aligning multiline blocks, especially code that uses expression-based indentation. Examples: > (define (tt str) (text str 'modern 16)) > (line-append (vl-append (tt "(define some-example-with-a-long-first-line") (tt " (values ")) (vl-append (tt "(some-expression)") (tt "(another-expression)") (tt "note-the-close-paren!")) (tt ")"))
![Toolbox: Miscellaneous Utilities
This library provides a collection of miscellaneous Racket utilities that I use in my personal projects but I have not felt warrant being published as a separate package. Note that this library is intentionally not published on the Racket package server, as everything in this library should be considered unstable. In projects that use it, I include this repository as a Git submodule, pinning to a specific version.
