Lower precedence means a stronger binding; ie. this list is sorted from strongest to weakest binding, and in the case of equal precedence between two operators, the associativity decides the binding.

Prec	Abbreviation	Example	Assoc	Description
1	SELECT	e . attrpath [or def]	none	Select attribute denoted by the attribute path attrpath from set e. (An attribute path is a dot-separated list of attribute names.) If the attribute doesn’t exist, return default if provided, otherwise abort evaluation.
2	APP	e1 e2	left	Call function e1 with argument e2.
3	NEG	-e	none	Numeric negation.
4	HAS_ATTR	e ? attrpath	none	Test whether set e contains the attribute denoted by attrpath; return true or false.
5	CONCAT	e1 ++ e2	right	List concatenation.
6	MUL	e1 * e2	le

I recently happened upon a very interesting implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) called popen-noshell using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

This is not a paper. I assume reader familiarity with fork() in particular and Unix in general, though, of course, I link to relevant wiki pages, so if the unfamiliar reader is willing to go down the rabbit hole, they should be able to come ou

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

• It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
• It is free, with no quotas.
• Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.

premiere-subtitle-convert

Conversion script between the TTML & SRT subtitle formats. This is particularly useful with Adobe Premiere, as it doesn't understand the SRT format (which is joyously simple and interoperable). TTML-XML is probably the most straightforward subtitle format it does understand, hence this tool.

Note that due to the simplicity of the SRT format, this conversion is extremely lossy for all the bells and whistles supported by TTML. Not like you'd want fixed-pixel font sizes etc in your subtitles anyway, but you've been warned.
