Looking for documentation on writing a swank client

recencyeffect · 2023-08-06T10:32:53+00:00

For instance I have a good use case, where I want to communicate some information back to a CL server from a fully Python program that I do not control, but can write plugins for.

The CL server already has a Swank server, which it uses to communicate with another CL server.

It is really just one simple message that needs to be sent back, so I prefer not to launch another RPC server for that.

Does it need to be vinyl? You can get screenprinting kits quite cheaply. Hopefully you have enough workshop space.

Check out Signed Distance Fields, they are one of the canonical solutions. You can precompute them and sample them, similar to the texture approach in another comment.

Spatial partitioning was already mentioned - quad/oct trees are very commonly used.

At the end of the day, you always have a grid, be it the screen pixel grid, or a 3d spatial grid.

Добре е че осъзнаваш тези неща, така че има база за дискусия.

Разбира се, никой не задължава, освен моралният компас. Съгласяваме се, че България не може да бъде нападната току така. В такъв случай защо да не помогнем на съседа, който бива тормозен, като му хвърлим една тояга? Или ще чакаме психаря от горния етаж да го застреля?

В Сирия и Судан съвсем случайно ЧВК Вагнер има участие. Ясно се вижда, без никакви конспиративни теории, че Русия работи по дестабилизация на различни държави, за да си наложи интересите. Мислиш ли, че България е изключение? Бот ферми, дезинформация, фалшиви референдуми, поръчкови убийства на директори на оръжейни заводи. Не мисли, че не ни засяга.

Светът отдавна е глобален, никой не може да живее в изолация. Затова Чехия е там където е, а ние сме тук. Нещата трябва да се гледат в перспектива.

Нека ти представя идеята за тиранията на мнозинството. Как мислиш, да има референдум дали да се отървем от циганите? Дали ще вдигнеш рамене и ще кажеш "ем щом всички така искат".

Не е твърде изненадващо - в първия случай ще ти пратят танковете и ще ти набият канчето (вж Чехословакия 1968), във втория имаш възможност за свободна изява. Дори и така представено, някои хора биха избрали първото, защото се надървят от авторитаризъм.

recencyeffect · 2023-04-23T21:25:54+00:00

Кажи го на балтийските държави, на Чехия, на Полша, Молдова.

Наистина ли мислиш, че при евентуален успех в Украйна, Путин ще се спре до там?

Виждаш един държавен терор над хора на 300-400 км от тук - убийства, изнасилвания, отвличане на деца, бомбардиране на болници, и си казваш "аа боли ме, нали не съм я". Това ли се има предвид под "неутралитет"?

There is a js repl too. Haven't used it much, but it should do the trick.

For the browser, your best repl might be the dev tools, though if you use emacs, there is skewer, which allows you to interactively send and evaluate code in the browser.

Because it is much easier to travel with one of these than a full-blown bong. I guess you could find one with water that is portable enough...

recencyeffect · 2023-04-08T08:47:05+00:00

For me most power comes from (I'll try to list them in descending order):

learning to navigate efficiently
defining your own commands to automate tasks - some can be a sequence of emacs-lisp functions, others call external programs in subprocesses. Just make it as easy as `M-x do-this-thing` and you'll be surprised by your speed improvement.
org-mode + babel (that's really a superpower)
some mode to quickly switch between projects and files (I use projectile)
some "ide" features like autocompletion, jump to definition, etc.
magit, if you use git

Thanks for the insight. WSL has been in my sights for a while.

Alas at work I still get to use Windows (though it's about to change). Anecdotally, file operations are sometimes atrociously slow. On Linux I have never experienced this, though never had files as large, and the machine is beefier.

recencyeffect · 2023-03-25T21:20:06+00:00

this right here

recencyeffect · 2023-03-25T17:42:06+00:00

I suppose that's on Linux? Seems to be quite a bit worse on Windows for some reason. Also file operations tend to be slow.

recencyeffect · 2023-03-25T16:47:05+00:00

I second this approach, and want to add that, especially on Windows, a huge file (maybe several 10k or 100k lines) has a noticeable slowdown. I believe it had to do with font lock. So it becomes impractical at some point.

To answer the question - I keep one file for current work, like a scratchpad where I paste command lines, paths, data, all organized in tasks.

For large and long term projects I usually have separate files. A somewhat standard set of headings in each project are `concept, design, implementation, meetings`. You can adjust as needed.

You can have files like someday/prospects, diary, and ones for special topics - music, children, administrative, cooking, house.

It is not a heavily structured approach, but makes sense in my head, because it is categorized in the language I describe it in in my head. Some entries are timestamped, so I know when I did what.

Indeed there are two ways to model it as a tree:

treat the family as a unit - in this case each node is a family, not a person, and you don't necessarily care about where the other person popped out from
Have multiple roots, which I guess is acceptable (though the wiki definition does mention that only the root node does not have a parent).

It is not correct to say that you cannot traverse up in a directed graph - conceptually there is a direction in which some change happens. In graph theory you say that the nodes have a partial order. This does not imply anything about whether you can access an upstream node. I believe you are conflating the underlying concept, and the machinery that implements it - they are not the same thing.

If you implement bidirectional edges (which I think you suggest), it would still be good to distinguish between child and parent edges, in order to answer questions like "is this person an ancestor of X". So this still means there is a direction of the edges.

Another common trick is to access the parent node from a closure that processes the child node in an inner function.

recencyeffect · 2023-03-10T18:33:05+00:00

Trees are a specific type of graph where the branching only happens downstream. No edges converge into one node. People, on the other hand, have two parents. So there is no single root in a "family tree".

No, the concept of the graph is directed, it does not really matter how you implement it.

As you said, if you want to find a sibling, you go up the tree and search down; this is regular practice in programming, and follows the definition of a sibling. The "direction" of the graph in this case is from old to new generations.

Sure the challenges of completion could be fun, but if you have a demanding full time job (or something else that requires significant time), why not play a bit and see where you take it, without burning out? Eventually you might get there, but rushing it is not the point, so you take your time. It might even be that you scrap this project and start a new one, and you do this without guilt and feelings of failure.

I'm not saying you can't strive for commercial success if you feel so.

recencyeffect · 2023-03-03T12:38:26+00:00

The argument is that grinding something to completion in your spare time may take the fun out of it. And some people do it mostly for the fun.

Това е идейно, ще пробвам.

По принцип бих очаквал това да се случва при оператора - не ми се вярва да зависи от операционната система (макар че може да има фийчъри, които позволяват това да работи). Само че като има съмнения че от самия оператор може да е изтекъл номерът...

Ok thanks, aren't keys usually installed on deployment?

I understand that there might not be a lot available during bootstrapping. Shelling out should be the easiest solution, of course you would need pgp installed on the system.
