Maybe worth noting: when I tested a few years ago at least gcc (don't remember whether I tested clang) only applied TCO to small subprograms. As soon as the iterations were multiply nested and/or across multiple top-level function

I know about Chez and Racket's effort. The reason I'm rolling my own is that as mentioned I've got ideas to help debugging and typing that I find easier to implement when knowing the system and the system is simple. And that

I'm writing a Scheme interpreter in C++ with the express purpose of easily using Qt from it. It supports call/cc efficiently, which I hope will allow me to write Scheme programs handling GUI ops which use signals/slots behind

Why didn't you conclude instead that first-class (or just multi-shot) continuations are still an experimental feature in Scheme, and that the important part is to warn users of that fact ("use at your own risk, because .. undefine

But if the resulting model doesn't contain information about individuals, how does this help targeting individuals for the campaign? Edit: is it that the model is then applied to only strictly public data about the person? If so I gues

First, I'm talking about the stack in Scheme (the high level language), since that's what we are talking about here (you gave map as an example); whether there's a C stack used underneath somewhere only matters in this contex
252.
by pflanze 9y ago
Making the C stack large enough is not solving it on 32 bit architectures with enough physical RAM that you can't/don't want to waste address space. And on 64 bit architectures address space isn't a problem, but the memo

With regards to stacks that can use all of the memory: Gambit and AFAIK Chicken behave that way, too. This is one of the reasons I chose Scheme over OCaml (and Haskell) over a decade ago when looking for a new language to move to.

S-expressions are not directly an AST: they are a form easily matched to an AST (which could be the Lisp at hands, or some language for which there is some translator/parser/interpreter around, or some language for there is no c

I think this probably concerns many more people than are aware of it. I could live with the flickering but I live better by doing what OP did, set screen brightness to max, on all of my laptops and external LCD screens. I then use redshift

Hey, this is an extension of what I'm planning to work on, which is a translator from Scheme enriched with lifetime and type information to Rust. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15286945

When that article laid out that it was talking about a survey I sat down and thought about what kind of distribution there likely is. My first guess was: f(x) = 500 / (1-x) where x is 0..1 (excl. 1), 0 being the poorest person a
