Many times, you know the input and output of a procedure that you know must exist, but can't remember the name. Methodfinder finds the name. Let me know if you find it useful! >>> import methodfinder >>> metho

> Look at a statement of equivalence. You might say that "A is equal to B" or "A == B". There are two "flows" going on there: A has to match up with B, sure, but B also has to match up with A. Weird way to d

Yup, I did exactly that in Scheme http://billsix.github.io/bug#_make_generator

As an Android user, I liked my Nexus 7 at the time, but I received security updates for a year or two max, and then never bought an Android tablet again because of it.

No callbacks, so no forced heap allocation nor lifetime management . "oh you want to use FooGUI? First let me tell you about the object hierarchy and object lifecycle". No mvc. No custom, required data structures. The programmer

Agreed, I've tried and failed to make Debian packages, and have no idea how to proceed. In contrast, with Gentoo and their documentation, it was straightforward for me to make my own additional, separate repo, look at other ebuilds to

Agreed regarding use cases. My scheme implementation does both yield and send, cleanly imho, because of call/cc.
45.
by billsix 8y ago
Incorrect. In c terms, you can think of callcc as a procedure which memcpy s the stack onto the heap for later application. And when it is later applied, the heap allocated stack is memcpy ed back into the stack region of memory, destroyi

Continuations also allowed me to implement python’s yield/send in 16 lines of Scheme code :-) http://billsix.github.io/bug.html#_make_generator

Here is my work in progress for intro OpenGL programming http://billsix.github.io/modelviewprojection/ It in python, doesn’t involve matrices. It really only requires high school math, with the exception of the z axis

They are very similar. They are both applicative-order, meaning that the arguments to a procedure are evaluated before the procedure is applied. The evaluation of a lambda results in a function value, which captures the enclosing scope, bu

You neglected to quote the full sentence, which wasn’t even long. To change your mindset, read: http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html Or instead, how bout this. show me your implementation of generators in the “user space”

I implemented a compile-time test framework in Gambit Scheme in 7 lines of code, and Python's yield in about 20 or so. http://billsix.github.io/bug.html#_make_generator Lisp code has few wasted moves. Programming in i

Pirate away bro, it’s just like a library, you’re correct. The word “library” is derived from the Latin word “liber”, meaning book.

I said that more than a select few can afford the book. I did not say that it is affordable globally. Pirate away dude. The piracy of JSTOR repos didn’t help the global poor population, nor will piracy of this book.
