rereading the link I guess there are some implementation specifics that are JVM. I'm not really familiar with CLJS to say how those translate - but in principle is sounds like it could work on both platforms
602.
by geokon 5y ago
Oh, does `add-libs` require the JVM? I thought it was in effect fetching remote code, from git or wherever, and then executing it (or loading it) in the local environment. I'm just curious to understand the situation better, but which

When it comes to specifically dynamically loading external libraries - is there a reason SCI can't incorporate `add-libs`? I mean clearly some libraries wouldn't load and will break (like if it's using Java code or something)

by geokon 5y ago
I was always wondering why something like this doesn't exist already! This is really great. Would it be possible to add `add-libs` from `tools.deps.alpha`? https://insideclojure.org/2018/05/04/add-lib&#x2

Do they right-align their command lines and files? Or once the Arabic exceeds 50% the alignment of the buffer flips? :)

I look forward to config files in right to left Hebrew Or maybe Arabic so the characters flow into each other

I don't really understand what this is offering. Maybe someone could explain.. Can't you already do this with jpackage or graalvm to create native bundles? At least with jpackage you already get an installer, versioning and upgrad

I find it hard to believe there is no way to probe for extensions and provide a fallback It's a problem that already exists right now. If you compile code on a machine with SSE or AVX and run it on an old Pentium, does it crash? I had

oh yikes sorry. I didn't realize JavaScript is so idiosyncratic. i was just kinda thinking from my c++ bubble i guess

While I agree on the side-effect side of things, you really shouldn't use a classic for loop when forEach suffices. forEach emphasizes you are operating on each element of the loop in a semi-independent fashion and you explicitly don&#

From what I understood of the link there is the "grapheme" which is an intermediary representation between being UTF-8 and being drawn on the screen. Like all possible glyphs have been prerendered. It's not got some simple gr

Okay but ascii only covers English. Doesn't even cover all European languages. There is probably something between ascii and utf-8 where you could cover prolly like 90% of people's needs with English Chinese Japanese Korean Greek

Is there any standard system where each byte/word maps to one character/grapheme? I feel there is a general sentiment that not being able to jump to the Nth character is programmatically.. irritating and disappointing. I'm su

Err, sorry I have a typo in my original post. The Y is "flipped" (not X). I feel a Northing Easting system should appeal to both surveyors and mathematicians b/c it matches the X-Y plane we're used to in math class. But

by geokon 5y ago
yeah, good question. My limited experience has shown me that you end up coding in assumptions that make the sign flip problematic :). There are all those infamous cases of systems crashing on planes and ships when they cross the equator. Id

Thanks for the sanity check! Yeah, my napkin math was showing a very high resolution without any floats needed. I'm happy to hear it's been done before. It's going to ultimately come together as a GUI (it's a set of scri

So this is sorta above my pay grade but I think this is a tangential issue. Even if you are reading exotic data in some parochial format you internally probably wanna use one consistent format. If you have some massive data sets and don&#x

It was a random thought I had today. Please tell me why it's a bad idea haha :)) A lot of weird bugs happen at the edges/meridians. In a South/East system the edges are at the poles and in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So

by geokon 5y ago
Sure. That kinda misses the point but you can think of it that way. And the mirror universe projection of lon/lat is not a great projection but you're free to choose what you want. But maybe don't expose your projection in yo

It's not a moot point because you wanna debug stuff :) If things are looking weird or wrong on your display then you need to go back to your internal values to inspect what's wrong. When the internal value covary with th display v

right，an internal rezeroed south east system makes it match the graphics system. So pixel positions and coordinates covary and are always positive. It makes debugging a million times easier More radical would be to go from degrees to the 0

Thanks for the sanity check I have a dirty prototype I need to rewrite soon so I was considering a coordinate system change. It'd make debugging much easier if the values drawn and the values of the coordinates had the same "direc

You say it like it's a done deal, but virtually every book map paper and UI disagree with you. Outside of the programming bubble we're not in a world where you ever need to think twice about the order. I don't go to Wikipedia
625.
by geokon 5y ago
My point was that simply flipping lat/lon to be lon/lat is a cheap fix that still leaves you with problems. What I propose is to go "all the way" and make an internal positive/unsigned South/East coordinate sys

yes, typo. Thanks for catching that. edited it to match

by geokon 5y ago
Lat/Lon is really the standard. The fact that some software internally represents it as Lon/Lat doesn't mean it's not a settled issue. If you look up the coordinate of a location - it's always in Lat/Long. You

Is there something that's the opposite? So the browser doesn't reload resources all the time and shares resources between tabs to give a smaller memory footprint and lower latency? I really couldn't care less if the websites

You used to be able to suspend KDE Activities (sorta like a group of running applications - similar to switching to "desktop" in most DEs). So you could have separate activities for different projects. It was very handy. You could

Isn't the problem of having universal accounts across servers independent of git and hosting code? I don't see how the two are related. It's a good goal, b/c at the moment you only have "Login with Google" or &
