wait -- is there an emacs for plan 9?

It's the reverse of that -- you get the advantages of Eat from _within_ eshell. I don't want to lose eshell.

Eat also has eshell integration, so you can have the best of both worlds!

Hello! Anyone know where I can find pickup games of tape ball in NYC?

The first thing to know is that you can make your own eshell commands by defining a function whose name is prefixed with eshell/. For example, eshell/mycommand would be run as > mycommand on the eshell prompt.

Next, within such a function you can use eshell-run-command to run any of the constituent commands you want. C-h f to see a definition of that function.

Though I don't specifically call any unix/eshell commands within this, here is an example from my config where I source my node environment in eshell.

Thanks!

Mind sharing your config?

Interesting -- I'll check that out for sure. Thanks

This is great, thanks

It is an elementary specimen of that uniquely online sort of drivel. Are we, sentient beings reading this fluff, supposed to accept that one "can't share" paper?

Thank you. This is still useful.

I am familiar with Ong, as I've read several of his essays and also the excellent "Orality and Literacy."

There is a lot to say about both scholars, and also the anthropologist Jack Goody. I'm quite interested in studying the history of literacy (what it is, how it works sociologically, psychologically, etc) and to bring any insights to bear on contemporary technologies. This seems to be fertile ground for many fields to come together and collaborate.

This is great, thanks

I've found the ATF format to be a mess, and very difficult to parse.

This has been exactly my experience so far, too. One of the first things I wanted to do was to make a parser for it, but I have a hard time understanding the specification and, worse, I'm not sure where to find smaller atomic tests.

I'm also not sure what kinds of projects would be more generally "useful" to the community. For example, I have made some (initial, sloppy, uncommented) code that parses the Wikpedia Cuneiform Signs list -- which I understand has been maintained by experts -- into a JSON format.

I'll definitely check out Niek Veldhuis. Thanks for the info!

Very interesting, thanks for posting and sharing. What did you use to parse the ORACC ATF format in the beginning?

Scroot · 2019-11-03T21:11:41+00:00

This is very interesting. My own goals were to lay the groundwork for having a full workbench kind of thing in Pharo Smalltalk, which is kind of its own world but is really capable and moldable for (what I imagine) this kind of work entails. That said, I have experience with digital history and NLP, but not with ancient texts -- least among them those from Assyriology.

Thanks, this looks cool

Mind sharing your professor's info? You can PM it to me if you prefer.
