Any idea what tool he's using for the "slides"?
- hprotagonist 7y agobelieve it or not, that's iTerm2 and the ipython REPL. To borrow a phrase from Avatar: The Last Airbender, dabeaz is, uh, a mad genius.
- JoBrad 7y agoI was really asking about the keywords he typed that showed the "slides" in the terminal. For instance, when he typed in "builtins" at the beginning, it cleared his screen and then showed a quick ASCII art image. I suppose he could have just built these functions, but if there is a tool that he might be using, that would be pretty handy.
- hprotagonist 7y agono no, that's what i mean: he hacked the REPL up to hell and gone, and is actually using it to run his presentation. It's nuts. See ~04:20 where he briefly alludes to that in the talk.
- bshipp 7y agoI was at pycon when beaz programmed a set of raw socket server/client scripts running fibonnaci sequences LIVE from scratch in front of 1000 people using nothing but a text editor. The man is truly a mad genius. https://youtu.be/MCs5OvhV9S4 https://youtu.be/MCs5OvhV9S4
- ehsankia 7y agoJust watched his PyCon 2019 where he derives lambda calculus from scratch in Python, and he had similar shell magics going on there too. Great tutorial if you've never seen lambda calculus before, definitely brain twister. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCLMl0e_0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCLMl0e_0k
