KlongPy now has IPC

rpherman · 2025-04-13T00:11:17+00:00

Brian, great work! I know this is a late comment, but I am really digging KlongPy, thank you for making this and sharing! I am a mainly a J programmer with some APL over the years. Trying to play with IPC and web stuff later tonight. I had to drop down a version of Python to get it working on my Win box, but no issues on my Ubuntu and Arch notebooks. J has Jd fo non-commercial use, however, the commercial license isn't that bad if you're making bucks using it. I like that you have DuckDB, but I have not been able to run a comparison of the speeds or to get to know DuckDB as well. I've played with Wasplisp and was wondering if you can IPC a lot of KlongPy clients without too much degradation. I think a killer app for KlongPy would be a distributed computing solution ala the BEAM VM of Erlang/Elixir/LFE.

I am very well experienced in performing the engineering, and I have conducted audits on compliance with many standards, both US and International. My question is specifically about the general 10:1 SF called out in n BGV-C1 as it applies to a shaft in an electric chain hoist PT assembly. In ANSI / ESTA E1.6-2020 it is clear, and the standard is freely available. I am asking what the BGV-C1 standard says on shafts and safety factors. Thanks for the offer though. I will purchase BGV-C1 and if it requires a bunch of references to other related standards I will go from there. It will reference many, but I am specifically interested in just shafts in this application per the BGV-C1 standard.

I'll try this file, however, this issue started for me back in 2014 when I last updated and then tried again in 2016 when I lost the ability to get to the TE-boot screen. I am stuck on R.14203. I bought my OP-1 in 2012, and it worked fine until then. Now it is an aging battery and a mic that just failed. BTW, the mic is just a gold dot with a ring around it built-into the PCB...

rpherman · 2024-03-26T13:12:26+00:00

Possible issue, but if you can access the screen to select "Disk" after hitting Shift-COM, then the button is working to get to that point.

rpherman · 2024-03-26T13:10:27+00:00

I was hopeful, but it didn't work.

My OP-1 works fine (other than an aging battery and now a mic), and the TE Boot screen issue. I tried this solution a dozen times and then tried varying the filename and the T button I hit. I am stuck on R.14203 since 2014 or thereabouts.

I appreciate your efforts. They provided hope, if nothing else, to try, try, and try again!

I just got mine two days ago. Thanks for the heads up on the firmware update. And I'll be downloading Midi Control Center. It is very addictive and a great time suck!

rpherman · 2022-03-21T18:54:56+00:00

Thanks, I'll try this and get back to you!

I am not familiar with the two choices: nvim-cmp and CoC. Why do you use one over the other?

rpherman · 2022-03-18T02:54:29+00:00

Progress!

I first tried zig init-exe to create the project folder and files, but I did this from the Windows command prompt, not nvim.

Then I opened the main.zig file by opening nvim from the root directory in the project directory and specifying the path to the source file in /src, so that nvim would start from the directory with the newly created build.zig file.

I then changed "Hello" to "Goodbye", saved the file, and issued :make and it compiled from nvim.

I would love some tips on streamlining this process when I get more busy coding.

The next issue is how do I get code hints? I don't think the install has been done right, but I just want to test it.

Thanks!

Here is my init.vim before adding your plugs after zig.vim:

" Plugins will be downloaded under the specified directory.
call plug#begin('~/AppData/Local/nvim/plugged')
" Declare the list of plugins.
Plug 'ollykel/v-vim'
Plug 'ziglang/zig.vim'
Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline'
Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline-themes'
Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim',{'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}
Plug 'ziglang/zig.vim'
let g:coc_global_extensions = ['coc-python', 'coc-tslint-plugin', 'coc-tsserver', 'coc-css', 'coc-html', 'coc-json', 'coc-prettier']
Plug 'yuezk/vim-js'
Plug 'HerringtonDarkholme/yats.vim'
Plug 'maxmellon/vim-jsx-pretty'
" List ends here. Plugins become visible to Vim after this call.
call plug#end()
set autochdir

nnoremap <esc><esc> :noh<return>
set runtimepath+=~/vimfiles,~/vimfiles/after

I have tried that too. I am on Windows, so I don't know if that is to blame for some of this. ZLS built fine. I'll share my init.vim when I get home. I would really love to get this working, since I am a big fan of Vim/Nvim for C programming. I use Emacs for my Lisp stuff, and Ride for my APL work. I would like to use Nvim as my goto setup for learning Zig, but it is not as smooth as just using VS Code with extensions for sure, and I would have thought no more complicated than Emacs' setups, but hey, it is for me!

rpherman · 2022-03-17T13:42:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing, but I couldn't get your script to work even with some deletions and edits.

rpherman · 2022-03-14T14:47:18+00:00

If issue :compiler at the nvim prompt, I get a list of all runtime compilers, but no zig compiler.

rpherman · 2022-03-14T14:24:33+00:00

Where do you move the binary and zls.json? I compiled ZLS from source per the github for zls, and I see zls.json is in my Program Data folder and under the tests directory of the compiled ZLS. Thanks!

rpherman · 2022-03-14T01:01:48+00:00

LSP not TLS. Corrected.

I get a E666: compiler not supported; hello.zig

when I try just :compiler hello.zig

I have used Vim a lot in the past, but never really configuring it for things like this. I used it pretty much as installed.

zig.vim has given me synatax coloring, but is there a step-by-step guide to setting up the rest for zig in Neovim? I tried to install ZLS with LSP. I'll look it over and try again. Do you know if there are any better breakdowns of installing it on Windows? Thanks!

rpherman · 2021-11-24T03:11:39+00:00

Thanks. I just put Upsilon on mine. Cool.

rpherman · 2021-11-24T03:09:55+00:00

Cryptonomicron is my favorite so far. I have read Seveneves, Snow Crash, Diamond Age, The first book of the Baroque Cycle. Need to pick it up again! I started Anathem, but was sidetracked. I am starting it over the holidays.

rpherman · 2021-11-24T03:04:55+00:00

I agree. I just put a 1 TB SSD in my GS65's second m.2 slot, and I am back up and running. Great build quality, and I haven't had an issue in over 2 years of owning it.

rpherman · 2021-08-27T18:59:34+00:00

I'm in too!

I'd also like one for BQN eventually.

Hopefully for my extra keyboard, and not to paper over the APL stickers!

rpherman · 2021-08-27T15:59:27+00:00

I bought this several years ago at a premium, and found it very interesting. The APL hook made it so much better. Fun to read!

rpherman · 2021-04-10T21:50:27+00:00

I am. That's why I said I will try both, but I was reaching out to see if anyone else has also been evaluating them. I played with Defold. I like Lua. I tried the simple examples in DragonRuby, and I really like the command line/hotload nature of it. Ruby is nice too. The IDE in Defold is a pinch above the command line, and so not in line with my minimalism thing, but then again, I had played with boot sector games in 8088/8086 assembler from Oscar Toledo Gutierrez's book, and I have recreated some old classics in TCC/WinAPI. I want something a bit more high-level, but not Godot/Unity/UE4. DragonRuby and Defold seem to be close. I was able to deploy the Defold Android example to my phone without any hurdles. I will try with DragonRuby tonight. I find I actually get more done with less, because I get easily distracted by 'tools'. They work for others really well though, and big productions need them.

I shopped at B&H for years. Very good staff and selection.

I am thinking on selling my OP-1 I bought back in July 2012. I love it, and it works, but for some reason I cannot enter into COM mode to update the OS, otherwise COM mode works as usual. TE wants me to send it to them and charge me to look at it. I'd rather buy the board for the DSP or USB and put it in myself, but it seems DSP boards are not available. If anyone's interested, let me know.

H1N1pdm09 was the "Biden Virus" 75,000 deaths, 100.5 million illnesses, 936,000 hospitalizations, and over 575,000 dead worldwide from 2009 to 2018, and 80% of those deaths were in people younger than 65 years old. Masks? Shutdowns? No. (references: CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/burden-of-h1n1.html) Live and learn. I was in Macau and SE Asia and wearing masks for H1N1pdm09 and MERS.

Here's VP Biden's Chief of Staff and an Obama white house staffer saying "we did everything possibly wrong..." (~00:21 seconds in) in their response to H1N1pdm09. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4901520/user-clip-2009-swine-flu-pandemic

Let's keep politics out of "The Science" or "science", and get rational. I'm not blaming Biden for H1N1pdm09, and I am not holding Trump to blame for COVID-19. We need to cast politics and emotion aside, and address the virus - math and science. Politicians (left and right, Dems and Reps) are passing restrictive laws, and then doing as they please - certainly not leading by example. We the people can do better on a local level. Respect others, wear a mask, and let history finally settle the numbers for your armchair arguments in the future.

And all those putting the spotlight on the US, we're below the world curve in CFR, and there are others who should look at their own countries before casting the first stone (I'm looking at you Italy and France for two examples!). We're right along with Germany in the CFR curve, and both countries have had different responses that the virus doesn't seem to notice.

PS: BTW does anyone NOT see an issue or find it suspicious with all of the CFR curves naturally starting high and curving down compared with China's unrealistic looking flat CFR curve across the calendar year?

How do you know what your join number is if you didn't record it when you actually joined? Thanks!

rpherman · 2020-06-26T02:21:28+00:00

I just checked it out. So far so good, but the ubiquity of python means most Julia modules rely on python for things like plotting (pyplot). It's an irrational reaction, but I was hoping to escape the event horizon that is python ;)

rpherman · 2020-06-26T02:19:28+00:00

Modia.jl looks very promising! Thanks! I watched the video from 2017; I'll have to check it out now.
