Easy Parsing with Parser Combinators.

Why I (as of June 22 2019) think Haskell is the best general purpose language. For me, Haskell remains hard, even if switching to stack saved me form all those Go I used once in a while. #haskell

Keeping away from Twitter was quite a nice idea. Instead of spending one hour browsing my TL everyday, I settled for a few minutes here and there, without any bookmarks. As a result, I read three books in three days, listen to some good vinyles in the morning, and I immersed myself in old books on algorithms and data structures. BTW we just started watching Chernobyl.

Rebuilding Racket on Chez Scheme (Experience Report) (PDF, 14 pp.). #racket

A collection of open and indie Mac, iOS, and web apps that help promote the open web. Nice to see so many free apps for the Mac. I learned that there even exists a dedicated editor for Hugo websites.

MLJ.jl: A Julia machine learning framework. I still haven’t decided whether I should look into Julia more seriously after 5 years…

  Tindersticks, Waiting for the Moon.

And we are done with John Wick (1 and 2) and Taken (1, 2, and 3). What’s next?

OMG. How many new languages are yet to expect in the next few years?!

Okay, I just had to downgrade my current Python config since python-language-server does not play well with jedi>0.14. #python #emacs

I no longer attend conference, and it’s a shame since (ninth RacketCon) looks so promising. #racket

I bookmarked Modern Statistics for Modern Biology (Susan Holmes, Wolfgang Huber) a while ago, and upon skimming at it again I believe it’s a really good introduction for biologists, full of nice illustrations and examples.

Why I haven’t jumped ship from Common Lisp to Racket (just yet). #lisp

Victor Mono is a free programming font with semi-connected cursive italics and symbol ligatures. It looks like a solid alternative to Iosevska (which I use in my terminal) or Fira (which I no longer use except for slidedeck).

It’s about impossible to avoid using a modern browser, but the experience can be made more bearable. Living without the modern browser

Euler problem 14 is all about Collatz numbers. I am aware of Atabey Kaygun’s posts, but I found a nice implementation in Scheme on SO today.

The temperatures are milder this week and yet I have ¹⁰⁄₆ BP. Thanks for the medication! However, I should note that I am no longer stressed in the evening because of–you know–things to do urgently at the last minute. Because I no longer care, above all.

The Riemann Hypothesis Says 5040 is the Last. #math

The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages.

I’m all in LSP stuff at the moment, but maybe I should give it a try: An interface to communicate with Jupyter kernels. #emacs

Better Than Floating Point? on HN today. The comments are also full of extra links on FP computation.

C in four functions. See also Let’s Build a Compiler. #clang

Best way I found to mimic R’s rle function is this nice little piece of code (in Racket; credit to Chris Jester-Young):

(define (bagify lst)
  (foldl (lambda (key ht)
           (hash-update ht key add1 0))
         #hash() lst))

Now, it’s probably time to go watch Taken (once again).

Scripting in Haskell and PureScript. Because why not?! The joy of FPs at the command-line…

Lisp for The Modern Web. #lisp

Generator in common lisp. #lisp

TIL about the brewsci/bio tap for Homebrew. #bioinformatics

About to start watching John Wick 2 with my son.

My Lisp Experiences and the Development of GNU Emacs. Whether you like the guy (or what his public interventions have become) or not, this is an interesting read for those interested in the road to Lisp. #lisp

Nice account of Kimura’s contribution to molecular population genetics (via Vince Buffalo).

Thanks to John Cook, I ended up re-reading programming in the twenty-first century, and a few other articles written by James Hague.

So you think you know C?

I’m too busy focusing on Racket at the moment, but today I learned that next to Hy there’s Ale. #lisp
