A parser combinator library. I'm writing a tool that will do static analysis of SQL (in a very limited fashion, it's a build tool and not a static analyzer, but I need to understand dependency relationships between statements). I started out using `nom`, but found it imperfectly matched to my needs (underpowered in areas I desired and overpowered in areas I didn't need for my project). `nom 8` came out with some inte…

>A parser combinator library.

Cool. I got interested in this subject recently. Have been checking out some text articles and videos about it. Unfortunately there is not much info available (and some of it is advanced stuff), or at least I couldn't find much, so far.

I am working on a library, which is not exactly a parser combinator one, but borrows some of those ideas, for use in other projects.

>One of them is called `Compose`.

About the escapable strings example: can you not just rescan the string for the escape sequences, after grabbing the full string?

I started to learn how to play the drums. I have a e-drum set and I’m building this website where I can put my scores and connect my drums, so it can tell me how on time I’m playing.

Almost like a guitar hero thing but with just a metronome

It requires WebMidi to be enabled:

A reactive notebook that can handle side effects. I've had to go back to the drawing board, but making good progress. The latest is work on the core reactive and effect system and not yet integrated back into the notebook, but will get there. I've been logging my progress so far:

I have been working full-time for about 15 months on a product to store real-world entity-relations in a graph (using AI/ML for extraction). The idea is to extract entities and relations deterministically from text (using AI/ML for clues about type and position of entities in text). It is very much a work in progress with lots of commented out code which are just experiments. https://github.com/pixlie/PixlieAI

Nice project! I built something extremely similar with a friend in 2022! Back when we only had the GPT-3 API. I built an ontological graph and relation extractor, mental model analysis engine, bunch of stuff, on top of an Elastic DB being filled with live incoming ephemeral data across the web, including messages, comments, posts, articles and more.

I would really love for you to reach out via the email in my bio so we can talk ontology!

Continued working with my team to grow my granddaughter who at 15 months handles a spoon and fork to feed herself at each meal; drinks from a cup without assistance; can clean her face and understand everything she is told or asked (though sometimes with a devious smile makes what an adult might consider a poor choice.... She is testing her boundaries like she is supposed to do). I have learned how to and produced 6…

I've just published my first novel for adults, The Dark Sorcerer's Intern, my bid to bring back fun and comedy to a fantasy genre that has spent years in a grimdark rut.

The relevance to hackers is that unlike most fantasy where spells are cast with hand motions, magic words, or spell ingredients, there's actually an explanation for why that works and makes sense.

I am working on the second version of WhatDinner [0]. Initially marketed it as 'Tinder to decide what to eat’ and focussed on couples and families, but then only a fraction use it in family mode. So, now I am changing the concept and helping users generally decide what to eat (documenting it here [1])

Continuing bootstrapping my software+service company Alzo (https://alzo.archi/), an Elixir modular monolith.

The first clients are here and I am working on "darker tech" now, a single codebase injecting their data in both MS Office and Adobe's software suites. That's quite a change from Elixir.

Also working on the reverse feature, reading/writing MS Office files inside Alzo. For that, I'm writing a Java app behaving as an Erlang node, connected to my main app via Erlang distribution, to leverage existing rich Java libraries for office tech.
