   I personally think "don't" is right. For those who are interested in trying to use Python instead, I found this to be a helpful resource: https://github.com/ninjaaron/replacing-bash-scripting-with-p...

   I think I understand roughly what you mean when you distinguish row and column vectors. For example, let [x, y] represent a row vector and [x, y]^T represent a column vector. If you have a function f that maps [x, y]^T -> z, (you might w

   I think the answer to that question is that it doesn't "stop", but I'll try to offer a reason that isn't "octonions exist", but instead goes in a different direction. Geometric Algebra can capture the stru

   I'm not the grandparent. I'm not sure what you mean by "required", but, no, I don't think so. You can represent a lot of algebraic objects and operations using matrices and linear algebra operations. The most access

   They didn't say "understand everything", but that's the interpretation you're replying to, and it gives me some thoughts. Different people will be okay with different levels of understanding. You put "deep&quot

   I wonder if you're getting confused with what is called "a dual quaternion" which has 8 basis elements, and can represent both a translation and a rotation.

   by gugagore 7y ago

   I think that's a different point. To get rotations in 3D you don't need to go to 5D conformal GA. To be able to unify many geometric objects, like lines and spheres and point pairs and represent the duality e.g. the "meet&quo

    I don't understand what you mean, but I think you're describing exponential coordinates, or said another way, choosing an angular velocity and getting a rotation by following that angular velocity for a unit of time. https:/

    I wonder if you mean Tcl is bad, or that the damage is caused by Tcl being powerful and obviating the need for version upgrades of special-purpose software. Or something else.
13. 553.▲
    by gugagore 7y ago

    If I understood correctly, Tcl's metaprogramming capabilities are based on manipulating strings and not a syntax tree (e.g. lisp). Is that a key component of making it usable by "mere mortals"? I think ideally I'd like b

    well, no. It's just that what exactly does one expect to see at a research lab? I don't think any scientific research would appear exciting if you had a glimpse of it on a tour. The exciting things happen at different timescales!

    I mean, yes. It's also incomplete if it doesn't include a notion of directionality to e.g. distinguish between energy (force and displacement aligned) and torque (force and displacement perpendicular). The SI system isn't per

    No, that's not why. You think there's considerable time spent in parsing? It's all code generation that takes time, which is the same thing that makes Julia powerful.

    by gugagore 7y ago

    There's also compilation that happens in Julia. Like the type inference. Which is to say, the time isn't just spent in LLVM.

    Assuming you're right in that estimate, the hard work is getting more 9s. As a total kind of spitball number, you want 4 more of them.

    That sounds cool. Does ANTLR help with anything besides parsing your new language? It seems like the substantial effort is making the VM/runtime that the language runs within.

    The clean and readable version can be kept, but not in comments. Why not keep it as a reference implementation, and test the new thing against it?

    I take back by correction. Thanks, and sorry. Manchester encoding really is a form of phase modulation (BPSK). It makes sense to think of it as a 10MHz baseband signal modulated by a 10MHz carrier, and therefore having a 20Mhz bandwidth.
