Can you elaborate on that? I only saw a couple small scheduling examples in the book.

Dyalog also deviates from the ISO standard, adding things from J like hooks and forks. IIRC, GNU APL's deviations are to bring it closer to IBM APL2, but it's been a while since I …

For some reason, in my Firefox, the page renders with a massive symbol obscuring the bottom half of the page.

It's fine if you don't agree with my analogy or don't like S.O. but I don't think this contributes much to the discussion of how to make issue trackers.

I don't know exactly how it would work. But if I wanted to figure it out, I would start by taking a fairly large project's ticket tracker and sort through every reply on every tick…

The main problem with issue trackers is similar to the problem of programming forums before Stack Overflow. Issue trackers become a chronological pile-up of crap. Stack Overflow is…

Most of my questions on tex.SE are about ConTeXt, simply because all paths in ConTeXt are less explored than LaTeX. The frontier is nearer. But I have never failed to get a useful …

There is not, to my knowledge, a really commonly-used workflow that starts at Word and ends at typesetting. This is something Pandoc purports to do, but I would expect to lose most…

I have used ConTeXt a fair amount and I like it quite a bit. I would actually say it is easier than LaTeX, in the sense that it is more discoverable. After you use it for a bit, yo…

This complaint is basically the reason XeTeX was written, which accesses your standard system fonts instead. LuaTeX also handles TTF and OpenFont without trouble. These both produc…

Judging by how hard it is to hire web developers, yes.

I did this dance last year, so let me give you some free advice. Show your kids how to save and how NOT to overwrite your save in BoTW. Having my kids blow away my ~20 hours of wor…

I have fond memories of playing Final Fantasy II as a kid. I downloaded Octopath Traveller on the Switch and couldn't get through the introduction I was so bored. Going back and pl…

Yes, a few of my gigs were, probably not evil but certainly low in value for actual humans. But we all have to eat, and circumstances sometimes send you off looking for whatever jo…

The real question is what the fundamental theorem of algebra has to do with algebra.

Thanks for answering. I really appreciate that you took the time to explain this.

I feel like I always hear about girl scout fundraising (not just the cookies) but never about girl scouting. In contrast, I hear a lot about camping and whatnot with the boy scouts…

I had the impression this was more of a negotiating tactic than an actual plan. But this is like fourth-hand rumor.

I'm a beginner at Go but I think it is fascinating and full of real-life lessons like this. In general, strong play has a lot of forcing moves that demand responses. Being obsessed…

I'm starting to think that "computer-substitute" is precisely what smart phones have become, and that having a real computer you depend on might correlate with age, income or occup…

Site appears to be pretty broken.

If you click through the links, the text has been reset here, only the front page is a complete scan.

You can also get Python onto it directly with uflash. https://pypi.org/project/uflash/

In one of the documentaries about him, he remarked that having written it up, he had no idea where to publish it.

I would suggest checking out the Micro:bit: https://www.microbit.org/ Not exactly the same as what you're looking for, but the idea here is to introduce kids to programming with a …
