"Scar Tissues Make Relationships Wear Out"

04/26/2103. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS142.

This is my most touchy-feely thought for the weekend. Here’s the basic idea: It’s really hard to build relationships that last for a long time. If you haven’t discovered this, you will discover this sooner or later. And it's hard both for personal relationships and for business relationships. And to me, it's pretty amazing that two people can stay married for 25 years without killing each other.

[Laughter]

> But honestly, most professional relationships don't last anywhere near that long. The best bands always seem to break up after 2 or 3 years. And business partnerships fall apart, and there's all these problems in these relationships that just don't last. So, why is that? Well, in my view, it’s relationships don't fail because there some single catastrophic event to destroy them, although often there is a single catastrophic event around the the end of the relation

This information applies to the PICO-8 0.1.6 release.

This document is here to help folks with a proficiency in Lua understand the limitations and discrepencies between Lua and PICO-8's Lua.

You can always view the manual or yellowafterlife's extended 0.1.1 manual.

General

anything written in uppercase the PICO-8 editor or .p8 is made lowercase by the editor. → editing the .p8 file directly can work
print(function() end) outputs the string function instead of the string function: 0x0000000.

Comparing ES7 and core.async

ES7	core.async
`async function() {...}`	`(fn [] (go ...))`
`await ...`	`(<! ...)`
`await*` or `Promise.all(...)`	`(doseq [c ...] (<! c))`

Squashing Git Commits

The easy and flexible way

This method avoids merge conflicts if you have periodically pulled master into your branch. It also gives you the opportunity to squash into more than 1 commit, or to re-arrange your code into completely different commits (e.g. if you ended up working on three different features but the commits were not consecutive).

Note: You cannot use this method if you intend to open a pull request to merge your feature branch. This method requires committing directly to master.

Switch to the master branch and make sure you are up to date:

Free Monad + Interpreter Pattern

It's like creating the front end and back end of a compiler inside Haskell without the need of Template Haskell!

Write your DSL AST as a Free Monad, and then interpret the monad any way you like.

The advantage is that you get to swap out your interpreter, and your main code

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <dlfcn.h>

	int main(int argc, char** argv)
	{
	void *handle;
	void (func_print_name)(const char);

	- Changed comment
	- Walk though returning form to wrap. Racket still doesn't work.
	- Fixed incorrect example on definition of macro and usage environment.
