  1. The APL Vade Mecum

    "These cards were kind of a novelty item, something Iverson could hand out at conferences. He created these woodblocks that had the entire #APL language specification on it. You could, in theory, refer to these unique business cards to understand how APL works."

    Thanks @jdd

  2. In the Year 2000:

    APL sees a resurgence in popularity due to LLMs preferring it for token density.

  3. Oh, CF Montreal scored just before 1st half ended.

    Crisis averted.

  4. Peeking over at the preliminary Canadian Championships between CF Montréal and Calgary Blizzard.

    Everyone is afraid CF Montréal will do one worse by losing the an Alberta Premier League team, which is the 3rd tier in the Canadian #soccer pyramid.

    Last night, Toronto FC lost to Atlético Ottawa, and that was humiliating enough.

  5. I had a bit of fun, and wrote a blog post where I comment on another blog post that compares R and pandas for some common calculations. I do the same in Kap, to show the differences.

    Obviously Kap is less easy to understand without any prior knowledge. But once you know it, it's quite efficient.

  6. Oh, gasp! Yet another fawning #tribute to #Dijkstra, this time for his whimsical musings on the enigma that is #APL. ✉️🌐 Because nothing screams cutting-edge computer science like an old letter from 1982 unearthed with the help of an entire committee. 🤦‍♂️📜

  11. Oh, the irony! A plea to enable #JavaScript and cookies for a 1990s tribute to APL—because nothing screams cutting-edge like debugging web settings to reminisce about a language nobody uses. 😂📜👾

  12. I implemented support for the graphics API in the web-based implementation.

    Getting the html components laid out correctly was the thing that took 90% of the time. UI layout was a solved problem in the 90''s. Why is this still such a struggle?

    Anyway, it kinda-sorta works now, so here's an example

    Go ahead and follow the link and click on 'Send' to try it. Everything is client side. No tracking or anything like that.

  13. Christian Lawson-Perfect created this absolutely hilarious thing that you have to see. I found it such an incredibly silly idea, in the best possible way. Check it out:

    Anyway, the dataset was fun, so I decided to use it to test scatter plots in Kap. It worked pretty well. I decided to use this data to show how one can work with JSON in Kap. For well-structured JSON, it's actually rather simple.

  14. I wrote another blog post. This time providing some details as to why Kap was kinda bad in the recent video by @code_report.

    Not saying any future tests won't be equally bad, but it's sometimes interesting to know why something happens. At least in one specific case.

  15. Allocation de solidarité unifiée ( #ASU ) mastodon.social/@la_voix/11630 : #Macron ne restera pas seulement dans les mémoires comme le président des riches. Il sera aussi celui qui s’en est pris aux pauvres. Après la baisse des aides personnelles au logement ( #APL ), la réduction des indemnités chômage et le conditionnement du #RSA, son 1er ministre, #Lecornu, s’apprête à présenter un texte qui risque de se transformer en nouvelle arme contre les plus précaires. msn.com/fr-fr/politique/gouver

  16. Often when using Kap and I'm working with data coming from REST endpoints, I was getting annoyed that it was difficult to get a nice overview of JSON data in particular, since it doesn't have a nice array-based representation.

    Of course, once you have a grasp of the data, it's easy to transform it, so how do you get that grasp? Well, a tree-based display is useful, so I implemented one. Here's a video showing what it looks like.

    This is the first draft, and I do intend to improve it once it becomes obvious what's needed.

  17. 💸 Allocation de solidarité unifiée : derrière la « simplification », une nouvelle offensive anti-ouvrière

    Sous couvert de « simplification », le gouvernement prépare une offensive majeure contre les allocations sociales des plus précaires. Avec l’allocation de solidarité unifiée, la logique est claire : réduire les aides, renforcer le contrôle et pousser coûte que coûte vers les emplois les plus précaires.

  18. I spent some time improving the Kap UI. Error reporting is a lot better, and I created a short video showing what it looks like.

  19. 🎹🤔 Wow, what if your #synthesizer was powered by APL? Oh wait, it basically speaks in tongues 🤦‍♂️. If you ever wanted your music gear to sound like an alien language class taught by a robot, here's your chance! 🎛️👽

  20. Earlier today I went looking for the site jsoftware.com and it’s down. Was hoping to get the latest version of the j programming language. Anybody got news about what happened? Or an alternative source?
