Train booking in 2024, for going from Paris to Münster in Germany.
trainline.com: lets me enter my travel dates, then makes me solve a silly puzzle to prove I am human, says "success" and then blocks me because I am a bot.
bahn.de: shows me connections without prices, then says they are not available online (as if anything was available offline these days).
sncf-connect.com: says that there are no connections for my chosen destinations and dates.

Question to #CommonLisp experts: Given a generic function and a list of arguments, is there a way to obtain the method(s) that will be invoked?
In principle, I can use closer-mop to get the methods and their specializers and work out the method combination myself. But maybe someone has done the work already, or maybe there's way to use the compiler's implementation of method combination.
Use case: code exploration, debugging, etc. Not for runtime use, so efficiency is not critical.

"Sure, when the project is finished and the problem is modeled out properly, one could say: that would be easy to write in lang X.Y.Z! Sure, but it's not the end product where Common Lisp shines, it's the journey."

@npub1r9j…4h54 Isn't the presence of an ad blocker sufficient evidence for me being a human? Do bots use ad blockers?

@npub19am…qjn6 Désolé, je n'y serai pas. J'ai participé à la préparation, mais j'ai un conflit d'agenda avec des cours que je donne quelque km plus à l'est.
