Anyone know if it's possible to retrieve the contents of a gist from a static page in a web browser?

jgh03:04:02

they have embed code

benzap03:04:27

does the embed code let you retrieve the contents of the gist file in the form of a string? I just assumed it was an sandboxed iframe.

Hi, what do you guys think would be a proper noun for "Things you need" in a DIY guide?

soulflyer04:04:01

@hawari.rahman17 "essentials" or "prerequisites"?

hawari04:04:42

Ah yeah, that might do, thank you very much @soulflyer. Can you imagine having (deftype ThingsYouNeed)

Speaking of proper nouns, is it called document storage or document store?

hawari11:04:07

I would go with storage, but then again, I'm not a native English speaker

danielstockton11:04:29

Both are ok, unless speaking of a specific product

Its an application for authoring e-learning learning-units. Basically these units are just EDN Data which I store in something that I called a "document storage". In modern E-Learning Applications, the user results are stored in so called "Learning Record Stores". To make it consistent, I may rename my data storage to document store

soulflyer11:04:07

@burke it should be "a document store" or "document storage" not "a document storage" (Part time English teacher and grammar nerd here šŸ™‚ )

(Iā€™d use ā€œdocument storeā€ for a location - as in ā€œyou can find this in our document storeā€ - and ā€œdocument storageā€ for a type/category/description - as in, we use tool X for document storage - but also not native English)

@soulflyer thanks for the feedback. I'm not a native speaker and appreciate any advice šŸ™‚

is GLX (for OpenGL over ssh forwarding) basically dead ? I have tried +iglx , IndirectGLX "on" --- but I can not get glxgears to work over "ssh -X ..."

tbaldridge19:04:43

@qqq most of that was removed about 10 years ago due to it not performing well with modern GPUs. It's really hard to get stuff like DMA and video streaming to work with that sort of setup.
