Why not: from Common Lisp to Julia

This article is a response to mfiano’s From Common Lisp to Julia which might also convey some developments happening in Common Lisp. I do not intend to suggest that someone coming from a Matlab, R, or Python background should pickup Common Lisp. Julia is a reasonably good language when compared to what it intends to replace. You should pickup Common Lisp only if you are interested in programming in general, not limited to scientific computing, and envision yourself writing code for the rest of your life. It will expand your mind to what is possible, and that goes beyond the macro system. Along the same lines though, you should also pickup C, Haskell, Forth, and perhaps a few other languages that have some noteworthy things to teach, and that I too have been to lazy to learn.

/I also do not intend to offend anyone. I’m okay with criticizing Common Lisp (I myself have done it below!), but I want t

Structured concurrency and Lua (part 1)

John Belmonte, 2022-Sep

I've started writing a toy structured concurrency implementation for the Lua programming language. Some motivations:

• use it as a simple introduction to structured concurrency from the perspective of Lua (this article)
• learn the fundamental properties of structured concurrency and how to implement them
• share code that could become the starting point for a real Lua library and framework

So what is structured concurrency? For now, I'll just say that it's a programming paradigm that makes managing concurrency (arguably the hardest problem of computer science) an order of magnitude easier in many contexts. It achieves this in ways that seem subtle to us—clearly so, since its utility didn't reach critical mass until around 2018[^sc_birth] (just as control structures like functions, if, and while weren't introduced to languages until long after the first compu

Numpy is absurd

HN Discussion

I always gripe about Python not having useful (i.e. performant and with adoption) built-in array type and Numpy doesn't distinguish "vector of vector" from "matrix", but this still surprised me.

in is actually intersect?

It seems that Numpy uses intersect logic to check a in b:

Fontsource with Remix

Fontsource is designed to work with projects that bundle their CSS. You import their stylesheet and the bundler will place the fonts in your build directory and the CSS file will have the correct URL for the @font-face src.

Remix doesn’t bundle CSS and so while you can import their CSS file and add it to your links, the URL to font will be incorrect. It is still possible to use Fontsource with Remix. We just need to create our own @font-face declaration with the correct URL to the font (ideally, one that benefits from Remix’s asset fingerprinting). There’s a bit of manual set up, but once that’s done, you can serve the font on your site and benefit from updates for the font.

1. Install your font:

   npm install --save @fontsource/montserrat

Karabiner layouts for symbols and navigation

Gavin Sinclair, January 2022

Introduction

I use Karabiner (configured with Gosu) to make advanced key mappings on my Apple computer. Karabiner allows you to create “layers”, perhaps simulating those on a programmable mechanical keyboard. I make good use of these layers to give me easy access (home-row or nearby) to all symbols and navigational controls, and even a numpad.

The motivation is to keep hand movement to a minimum. Decades of coding on standard keyboards has unfortunately left me with hand and wrist pain. I will soon enough own a small split keyboard which will force me to use layers to access symbols etc., so this Karabiner solution, which has evolved over months, is a training run for that.

Here's a quick dockerfile:

----------------8<-------------[ cut here ]------------------
FROM debian:latest

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs npm
----------------8<-------------[ cut here ]------------------

save that as Dockerfile and do: docker build -t node-builder .
