Q: In common lisp how do you restart where the error was thrown not caught? This question is really about my lack of understanding of restarts.
In the encoder for cl-json there exists a tempting macro I would like to use
with-substitute-printed-representation-restart
But alas I do not quite understand how.
This
(cl-json::encode-json-plist (list :boo "boo" :foo "foo"))

returns
{"boo":"boo","foo":"foo"}

This
(cl-json::encode-json-plist (list :boo "boo" :foo  (lambda (a b) (+ a b))))

signals an UNENCODABLE-VALUE-ERROR
I would like to restart from that point where cl-json finds the function and have it return
something of my choosing when it runs into that adding lambda I included in the list.
(defun my-func ()
 (handler-bind ((cl-json::UNENCODABLE-VALUE-ERROR
                #'(lambda (e) (invoke-restart 'return-default))))
   (myencode (list :boo "boo" :foo (lambda (a b) (+ a b))))
 )
)

(defun myencode (alist)
 (restart-case
  (cl-json::encode-json-plist-to-string alist)
  (return-default () :report "Just return a default could not do this string" "barf")
 )
)

returns "barf"
I want it to return
{"boo":"boo","foo":"barf"}

How do I use that macro do to this?
In other words I want the restart to happen where the error was thrown not where the error was caught. Can I do that?

A: I don't understand if the doc is wrong or if I am reading the code badly, but there should already be a restart available whenever an object cannot be encoded. If you redefined cl-json default method for encode-json as follows, then you have a restart.
(defmethod encode-json (anything &optional (stream *json-output*))
  "If OBJECT is not handled by any specialized encoder signal an error
which the user can correct by choosing to encode the string which is
the printed representation of the OBJECT."
  (with-substitute-printed-representation-restart (anything stream)
    (unencodable-value-error anything 'encode-json)))

By the way you could redefine so that the restart accepts an argument, the string to print instead:
(defmethod encode-json (anything &optional (stream *json-output*))
  "If OBJECT is not handled by any specialized encoder signal an error
which the user can correct by choosing to encode the string which is
the printed representation of the OBJECT."
  (with-substitute-printed-representation-restart (anything stream)
    (restart-case (unencodable-value-error anything 'encode-json)
      (use-value (v)
        :report "Use a different encoding"
        (check-type v string)
        (write v :stream stream :escape t)))))

For example:
CL-USER> (handler-bind
                ((json:unencodable-value-error
                  (lambda (err)
                    (declare (ignore err))
                    (invoke-restart 'use-value "UNKNOWN"))))
              (json:encode-json
               `(((foo . ,#'print) (bar . "baz")))))
[{"foo":"UNKNOWN","bar":"baz"}]

Mount Roraima: A Floating Island Shrouded in Mystery
By Gaia Staff |
Ancient Civilizations Decoded
Hiking is a great way to explore nature, get exercise, spend time with friends, and … travel back in time?
Even for the most seasoned of explorers, Mount Roraima, a plateaued mountain about 1,300 feet high, located where Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana converge, might prove to be an experience far beyond the typical.
Mount Roraima National Park, also known as "Monte Roraima" and the "floating island of Venezuela," is different than the usual hiking trail or even the usual mountain. Its remote location, mixed with the mysterious air of untouched territory and indigenous folklore, make it an adventure that promises much more than many who climb it bargained for.
Mount Roraima History
Before European conquistadores arrived in South America, indigenous populations revered Mount Roraima as a regional symbol, referring to it as the "axis mundi," a tree where all the world's fruits and vegetables grow. It was a peaceful and tranquil place, protected by the Macuxi people.
However, over time, the arrival of foreigners in search of El Dorado and landscapes steeped with gold meant that the purity of Mount Roraima would not remain intact forever.
Later, the arrival of miners marked a change in the environment of Mount Roraima, with alcohol, violence, prostitution, and venereal disease infecting the area. High-pressure water hoses blasted open the land in search of treasure left pools of water, which bred disease. The Macuxi thought they would be able to peacefully coexist and work together with the miners, but this turned out not to be the case.
The trend continued into the present day.
The Brazilian government sought to build dams, roads, and form a municipal government over the territory, claiming those in the region wanted the same infrastructures as the rest of the country. However, the Macuxi stood their ground against the changes, blocking construction and impeding the development where possible.
For the time being, the dam project has been abandoned, with the governor citing the expense to reach the remote location as the primary reason for leaving it behind, not the Macuxi resistance.
Flora and Fauna Discoveries
Mount Roraima has drawn the attention of not only treasure-seeking miners but also famous authors intrigued by the untouched swaths of lands. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in his 1912 novel The Lost World, described an ascent of Mount Roraima, with the characters in the story discovering extinct creatures were still living on the remote plateaus.
In the Pixar film Up, the "Paradise Falls" are also said to have been based on the dramatic waterfalls found in the area.
While they have eroded over time, the tepuis, or "house of the gods" in Pemón, seem to have been aptly named, given the intimidating structure that may deter even the most intrepid of climbers.
Although the tepuis have been climbed, only a few have been extensively explored. Some posit this isolation and lack of exploration could mean some species believed to be extinct may actually still be alive and well on Mount Roraima. The flora and fauna of Mount Roraima is unique, including pitcher plants, Bellflower, and Rapatea Heather.
Ancient Indian Legends
Long before tourists hiked up Mount Roraima, the ancient Indians living near there viewed it with a special mythical significance. The Pemón Indians saw it as an integral part of world history. The great tree that bore all the fruits and crops was "felled by one of their ancestors, the tree crashed to the ground, unleashing a terrible flood."
According to the myth, Mount Roraima is the remaining trunk left after the flood, and the rivers flowing therein are the territory of those peoples. The Pemón also believed anyone who climbed to the top of the tepuis would not come back alive.
To this day, the indigenous people living near Mount Roraima give reverence to this great mountain and its history.
UFO Sightings
The ancient Indians of the area are not the only ones who believe in the power and mystery of Mount Roraima.
Beyond the intriguing plant life and legends around Mount Roraima, it is also known for its high frequency of UFO sightings nearby and atop the plateaus. Tourists have reported seeing strange twirling lights hovering above or between Mount Roraima and Kukenaam, another nearby tepui.
The Gran Sabana region is indeed a hotspot for UFO sightings, with some mystic tour companies popping up in the area promising to show tourists the paranormal side of Mount Roraima.
As curious as it may seem, this isn't entirely out of the ordinary. Ancient sites all over the globe seem to attract UFO sightings, from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, to ancient Egypt.
Other Mysteries
Most people who dare to scale Mount Roraima report having some kind of strange experience, be it feelings or things they sense while exploring the area.
Some tourists report experiencing altered states or intense feelings of reverie, promiscuity, or bizarre dreams involving aliens, which some posit could be due to its location in a high-energy zone, similar to Stonehenge or the Bermuda triangle.
Even some skeptics seem to be convinced of the power of Mount Roraima after exploring it.
For those willing to go beyond the typical adventure of hiking remote mountains, Mount Roraima offers plenty to explore.
From its deeply rooted indigenous culture and myths to flora and fauna unmarred by modern human destruction to myths and legends, and present-day reports of strange activity atop the grand plateau, Mount Roraima leaves its explorers with more questions than it does answers.

Puerta de Hayu Marca: The Gate of the Gods
In the mountains of Peru stands a gateway shrouded in mystery and attributed with capabilities of mythic proportions. Many ancient sites on Earth are believed to hold special powers and emit unique frequencies of energy, lights, or sounds that otherwise seem impossible. Others hold stories of people, cities, and even entire ships vanishing without leaving a trace.
Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, the Gate of the Sun in Tiwanaku, Bolivia, and many others have caused even scientists to scratch their heads. Could these regions actually be portals to other dimensions, doorways know as stargates, through which humans, as well as gods, pass to and from this world to the next?
The City of the Gods
The City of the Gods, high in the mountains of Peru, is home to one of these suspected stargates. Due to rocky mountain terrain and protection from the Peruvian government as an ancient archeological site, it has gone vastly unexplored. Researchers still aren't certain whether or not this area actually contained a settlement, but the rock formations bear an interesting resemblance to dwellings and structures.
The Gate of the Gods was discovered in 1996 by Jose Luis Delgado Mamani, a local tour guide who came upon the place as he hiked through the local foothills to familiarize himself with the area. As he approached the massive gateway, nestled into the rock formation, he was overcome with recognition — he had seen this very gateway before in his dreams. For years, a pink marble gateway with a smaller inset door from which emanated a mysterious blue light had presented itself to him while he slept, and the moment of discovery overwhelmed him almost to the point of fainting. Could this be just a fantastic coincidence?

Since windstorm Andrea denied me my chance of having a nice warm glasshouse walk in the Edinburgh Botanic gardens (see here for the gory details), I took advantage of a couple of days in London to bask in the warmth of the tropical houses at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.
I note in passing that to get into Kew costs almost £14. In Scotland, where we retain some vestige of the belief that education (even about plants) is a public good, entry to our Botanic gardens is free to all. This is a point to which I shall return later.
This year's festival is inspired by the 'forces of nature' – fire, air, water and earth. See the lush tropical landscape of the glasshouse contrasted with vibrant floral displays – fiery reds, yellows and oranges, and shimmering silvers and blues.
In other words, it was about orchestrated colourful hanging baskets: Very pretty; very impressive……and maybe not averse to a bit of fakery. Is this lovely blue (water-themed) anthurium really natural, or has it overdosed on dye? I'm no doubt being curmudgeonly (again) in stating that I don't think it's the business of a botanic garden and respected research institution to put on a dumbed-down display of themed flower arrangements, complete with models of fishing villages (water) and seed sculptures (air). But what would I know? I'm just a gardener.
I would feel better about it if I didn't think it had more to do with extracting that £14 entry fee from as many people as possible than with introducing them to the world of plants.

"Not happy at Kew" was a good title.
If that column in the 4th image didn't strike me as ghastly then I might not agree with you. And truly expensive. Still, the first image is quite nice.
Yes, the orchids on their own were nice. But if I had wanted to look at flower arrangements, I would have gone elsewhere.
No wonder you feel short changed, I think I would too. The Anthurium looks positively radio active, never seen one that colour before, surely it has to be dyed !
I've visited Kew Gardens only once, it was end of summer and I have been so impressed by the beauty of that place. The Nosegay Garden, a long allée with hydrangea serrata ( or was it villosa?), I loved the beddings, the pools, the big trees (especially a big eucalyptus with white bark). That particular time I would have paid even more than 14 pounds with no regrets.
I've been wanting to go to Kew for a while now but the price has been putting me off. I think in winter there should certainly be a reduced a price to get in. It seems crazy to get people to pay the say amount even though there is a lot less going on in winter. I was just talking to my husband about admission prices the other day. I used to work in the museums sector so I know how expensive it is to run these sorts of places and many of the staff despite lots of qualifications, skills and knowledge still don't get paid very well. It's strange though that we will pay £20 or more for theatre tickets for only an hour and a half of entertainment but baulk at £14 for a whole day. I can understand why you didn't think it was value for money if there was so little to see, should be half price in winter, maybe. Those blue flowers really are awful. I agree that a lot of botanical gardens need to work harder on their educational element. That's why I like the Eden Project so much. There is are good amount of text panels and info without it being too much. The National Botanic Gardens of Wales are very good too. Might wait till the summer until I visit Kew. Thanks for the review.
I'd not be happy at Kew either, although I have a slightly biased view of that 'other UK botanic garden', RBGE was started a year earlier don't you know AND as you rightly say doesn't charge entrance to the garden (although they do for the larger glass houses), nor is it ever likely too. Not that I've been brainwashed,no no, but we don't tend to talk about that 'other garden' much for fear of being smited and struck down with lightening.
When I visited Kew a while back, I wore a disguise.
The mission of 'explaining and exploring the world of plants' to anyone who'll take the time to listen, shouldn't be dulled down with an entrance fee or parading plants in displays like those poor orchids, like, well I won't say the word, its early. That forth picture looks like Carman mirandas head gear.
Hurricane Andrea has a lot to answer for.
I see what you mean, although you did get some good pictures. However I have decided, I am going to save up twenty eight pounds and pay a visit in the Summer.
Summer would be a lot better. I think they should give a winter discount. There's a terrific shop, BTW, so I would take more than twenty eight pounds, if you can.
OK, I may take an extra tenner.
Summer would be good, and worth the money.
Well at least the Greenhouses in Edinburgh are open again, having just paid a visit. We thought they were expensive as it used to be free in the dim and distant past when I was but a bairn. Walking round was curtailed by numerous pot plants being moved about and two of the greenhouses including my favourite Peat greenhouse needing a rebuild but it was still pretty good. Two moans where have the giant lily pads gone? and it was half term… enough said!
What? No lily pads? I'll never grace the place with my presence again!
Are they really hanging baskets!!?
Depends how you define basket. Pillars with earth-filled slots might be more accurate. But that counts as hanging basket in my world.
I was struck by the blue anthurium. It must be the color of choice — I posted a photo of an orchid also dyed blue. Why mess with nature??
I can't imagine. Because you can, perhaps?

Additional charges have been filed against the suspected gunman in the deadly Waffle House shooting, according to police.
Metro Police said five more warrants have been issued against Travis Reinking, charging him with four counts of attempted murder and one count of unlawful gun possession in the commission of a violent felony.
These charges are in addition to the original four charges of criminal homicide.
Reinking's bond was revoked on Tuesday by a Nashville judge. His court date has been reset for May 7.
Reinking has been accused of killing four people and injuring four others in the mass shooting at a Waffle House in Antioch.
After a massive manhunt, Reinking was located and arrested at 1:07 p.m. Monday, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
During a hearing before a court magistrate on Monday, Reinking's bond was set at $2 million. On Tuesday morning, Judge Michael Mondelli decided to revoke Reinking's bond. Click here to see the motion revoking Reinking's bond.
Reinking will be placed in solitary confinement after completing a mental health evaluation in a Davidson County jail, according to Sheriff Daron Hall.
Hall said during a press conference on Tuesday that Reinking will be evaluated by county mental health professionals for at least 72 hours following his arrest before he is released into a traditional maximum custody inmate lifestyle.
Hall said Reinking has been alert, cooperative and compliant with mental health staff, and he is answering questions and eating without any resistance.
Reinking will be under mental evaluation until he is cleared, and officials believe he has no intention to harm himself.
When cleared, Reinking will be in solitary confinement for 22 hours a day. He will be escorted outside for two hours each day by officials. He is being evaluated around the clock by officials.
In solitary confinement, Reinking will not be allowed to interact with any other inmates or any visitors. After he is cleared by mental health officials, he can submit a list of possible visitors to be approved by the jail. Those people can only visit him via video conference.
Reinking is currently wearing clothing specifically designed so they cannot be used for self-harm. He is also not allowed to use eating utensils and is only being served finger foods.
