I will give it a try, time permitting. The scheme code above is a variation of something I converted from CommonLisp (orignal code by Robert Smith) in 2013. Its speed depends on bignum multiplication speed. I imagine most serious bignum imp

Is it any kind of music? There are so many kinds of music in the world, perhaps one of them resonates with you? For me, it is very different. Almost any genre of music can move me. As for dreams I can even dream when I’m only half asleep. N

FWIW, I first learned about radio and electronics from an ex-royal! When in the fourth grade I started taking apart radios and breaking them, my father took me, along with the broken radio, to the local radio repair place (that may have bee

My favorite is the lathe type apple parer (peeler corer slicer). Probably an overkill for eating an apple, but perfect for cooking a few. Invented by David Goodall in 1864! Not because Americans are bad at peeling but because people made al

Seems modern scholars apply this rule (1.4.2) in a much narrower scope. The researcher argues that 1.4.2 is actually a metarule that applies to all of Aṣtādhyāyī. Covered near the end of the 1st chapter in his thesis.

As I understand it, this rule allows one to have an unambiguous parse of a sanskrit sentence into its constituent parts (it feels a bit like "the longest prefix match" rule used in packet forwarding!). My question is, did Pāṇini n

Even Minix, which was (IMHO) worse than Unix Version 7, was popular at one point! What Torvalds started from. With the advent of i386, many people definitely wanted something better than MSDOS or early Windows. If plan9 had been released as

There was a paper in 1993 about "APROL: a Hybrid Language" that combines an array processing language and a dialect of Lisp (Scheme) in a consistent and useful manner. Seems like April is much further ahead!

Even if each connection has the same remote IP address + TCP port, it has a distinct local port. What you get back from opening /net/tcp/clone is essentially a directory name, with the local port as a file name in it, along

Gambit scheme also just works. That's what I use on FreeBSD, MacOS (m1 and x86-64), Ubuntu and Raspbian. Had a version running under plan9 as well but that was a long time ago.

So you are commenting on something about which you have no direct experience, nor are you planning to change that. Why even “bother” repeating something you may have read or heard; why not just stay silent or learn something new?

c2v may have some assumptions that are not specified by FreeBSD C code. Probably easily fixable. Rather than assume, you can use V and find out for yourself what works and what doesn’t.
