Yes, not all readers will follow everything but my post is true and studying it will clear things up. However the movie will resit any attempted clarification.

Well said

You might want to check out my (Bill Wadge's) blog post on stretch text https://billwadge.com/2022/02/24/stretchtext-or-bust-ted-nel...

Finally figured out what was going wrong and fixed it ... it worked for me!

You're right about phones and tablets, but fixed screens are rigidly landscape, hmmm. I've found plenty of paintings etc that follow my portrait formula without being portraits. Fo…

Oooops!

By all means check out Winston, he's the master. Yes, you can find most of my rules elsewhere. But people don't know them. My student didn't. And my guess he picked up his bad habi…

Well I can tell you this advice would improve my student's talk 100%.

You're right, writing stretch text with current HTML authoring tools is not practical. My MMP system was practical but the MMP server side software was a challenge to implement and…

You're absolutely correct. Thanks.

My bad, it's implemented in Python. But it uses one Python library, mathplotlib,although I commented out the code cause mathplotlib is a pain to install.

Fixed

You sound like an expert. Are my heuristics unbeatable?

You're right, the name was borrowed from Lucid, where it is a proper operator on streams.

I know, the point was to exercise the various PyFL features.

Hidden Figures

It's equivalent to very elaborate function calls with named and optional arguments and output parameters. The declaration s would be nightmarish Syntax is important

I assume 'they' means me. True I don't know Haskell but from what I can tell these loops are a far cry from what I'm proposing. One variable, monads, and apparently side effects. M…

I wouldn't use the word "assign" these are definitions and their order is not significant. You're right, a while without a definition of result produces a syntax error. If the cond…

Other uses of monads are fine, I just think you can do better and simpler for IO.

Yes you can.

I've proposed an approach that is simple, equation oriented and trivial to implement. I think a substantive discussion off its merits is more useful than arguing about consensuses.…
