It is widely assumed Pāṇinian languages (generated using the formalism he used for describing Sanskrit) are context free languages but the following paper argues that they are a much larger set than CFLs. https://web.stanford.edu

The following works too! (24*60*60*1000)=*/(!6)^!6 so does (24*60*60*1000)=1{x*y^y}/!6 but now you have two hideous parameters!

The point was to give the OP an example he can hopefully wrap his head around the concept of currying.

Think of an array such as int x[5][10]. Here x is a two dim. array. Indexing it just once such as x[i], you get another array, a vector of 10 ints, which can be indexed further. So in a sense x[i] is a "curried" array! In general

How does this compare with https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro which does something very similar? It seems fairly complete, or at least much further along than neugram + it does lisp style macros! If you ignore the mac

For home use FreeBSD+ZFS will leave more control in your hands. For a (stable) filesystem node If I were you, I'd let others debug the latest release and just use 10.3. Or at least lag the latest release by a few months to a year or so

I found that I don't feel sleepy after lunch if I work while standing up. But if I sit in a chair I can feel sleepy and a five minute nap makes for a more productive afternoon than fighting the sleepiness. Has anyone else observed th

Richard Miller's port of plan9 runs on every RaspberryPi (pi0 to pi3 - where it uses all the cores). This may be the easiest way to experience plan9 and to build a small distributed system. You can experiment with device drivers or do

For me a buddy system works well. Agreeing to meet a friend at a certain time at the gym and calling one another when starting out for the gym works wonders for me on days when I'd rather do something else.

This is fantastic! I can sort of grok your code at a high level but only enough to appreciate it; not to do much with it as that would require investing a bunch of time. Questions: 1. Did you find anything really surprising? Some new algori

Rafia is a she. Not that it changes anything. This fear is much worse now. Watching what you say, the language you speak, books you read, what may be on your computers/phone, your demeanor, etc. Because of that fear she tried to remove

I don't know about being more productive but I use commands like 3cwfoo<esc> to replace the next three words with foo. Or 2cf,foo<esc> to replace everything including the second comma on the current line. Or some : command.

Very nice! One suggestion is to auto arrange to different number of columns based on the current time unit. Though zooming would get weird -- it would have folding/unfolding effect or snaky undulations! Not sure if this is possible but

Another view is plan9 didn't become popular because it was not freely available. If it had been "freed" prior to when 386bsd was first released, history might've been different. I knew about it much before 386bsd came ou
