@melpa_emacs happy to report that MELPA is on http://t.co/b4PoC3L1P8 :)
miniblog.
TinEye lets you find other versions of the same image. How long before someone builds a facial recognition search engine?
No software is ever finished, though some reaches maturity.
IPython's ability to run shell commands rather reminds me of eshell and the lisp listener on lisp machines.
Ed, sam, vi and Emacs on minimalism in design: https://web.archive.org/web/20110318101102/http://schemacs.com/articles/taoup/ch13s03.html
"An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction" is the best compiler intro I've ever seen. Now, to find a decent x86 asm reference...
Released Trifle lisp 0.2! https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle#v02 You can almost write basic useful programs!
So, apparently lisp machines had versioned file systems. It's a royal shame they haven't become popular on Linux systems.
Turns out that implementing a Common Lisp style condition system is nontrivial.
I've set up coveralls.io for Trifle lisp. 94% test coverage of .py files! The experience was nicely straightforward.
@CoverallsApp I'm getting a 'down for maintenance' on https://coveralls.io/sponsors#ourSponsors (after ~9 secs), is this expected. Is the service up?
http://t.co/h7elhFU0jD is excellent, and I'm struck by how many entries are just using contextual data.
Question of the day: How would you write an app if you wanted it work ten years from now? What tools or platforms would you use?
Not enough docs show examples. Trifle lisp tries to have an example for every function (just like the excellent http://t.co/E8vFyTrbez).
PEP 462 is an interesting insight into the challenges with Python core development. We're spoilt with GitHub, Travis and pull requests.
Implemented eval in Trifle lisp. It was actually easier than I expected.
Python: "\q" == "\\q" Ruby: "\q" == "q". C is as Ruby, but with a warning. In trifle lisp we will throw an error instead for clarity.
"Happily, the Tab-letariat can agree with the Space-eoisie that a separation of the whitespace classes is necessary and good."
Argh. I can't assume 'python2' is available on all Linux distros, but some distros now use 'python' for the Python 3 executable.
Just discovered ace-jump-line-mode, which lets you jump to an arbitrary line on screen. Wish I had known about it earlier. #emacs
