freegnu: April 2009

http://freegnu.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

And other stuff too. Thursday, April 2, 2009. Step One: Insert Foot in Mouth. This is a follow up to my Your Fancy Language is Burdensome and Dangerous. Python and Ruby don't have the APL array/vector/matrix syntax built in to the core language. But a little nudge from someone made me do the little bit of research I should have done before I wrote that. Post And I rediscovered that I did not originate the idea that these languages need array/matrix math syntax thought. Check out this Python example:.

And other stuff too. Thursday, October 30, 2008. I am installing a couple of shopping cart online stores AKA commerce packages in order to evaluate them for use in an online store I'm setting up. I did a little research and decided based on features and the one deal breaker required feature, Google Checkout, on two commerce packages. The first is Zen Cart. And the second is Magenta. IfModule mod php5.c. AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .xhtml. Php flag short open tag off. I also have a couple of ...

freegnu: August 2010

And other stuff too. Saturday, August 7, 2010. The Expectation of Lack of Privacy in Python. One feature of Python that I thankfully rarely have to think of is the whole private, protected, public meme that seems to always popup in programming languages. Programmers coming from other programming languages always want to know how they can make an object's properties private. Def init (self, value):. Self x = value. Return self. x * 2. Def setx(self, value):. Self x = value 1. X = property(getx, setx).

freegnu: March 2014

http://freegnu.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

And other stuff too. Saturday, March 22, 2014. Developing on my phone in J using the j-console app for Android has changed my mind about going much further down the path of an expanded language learning and improvement experiment. I've decided to stick to perfecting my j skills for the foreseeable future. J's super optimized algorithms and terse formulaic functional programming is exactly what I was looking for in a programing language. For more check out the history of APL.

freegnu: February 2013

And other stuff too. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. I've begun thinking in Python a lot lately. /.mypyrc.py:. Profile or /.bash profile:. PYTHONSTARTUP= /.mypyrc.py export PYTHONSTARTUP. Now starting python interactively loads the PYTHONSTARTUP file automagically:. Python for f in ZF('a.zip').namelist: . print f . print BS(UO(R('http:/ google.com') ).find('title').text cols=zip(*csv.reader(open('a.csv') ) rows=zip(*cols). Tuesday, February 12, 2013.

And other stuff too. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. IPhone Gurgling Water Noises and Dropped Calls. Here is my version of the smsnotify.sh script. The original post follows it.:. If [ `echo 'select count(*) from message where. Var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db` -gt 0 ]. If [ $SMSNOTIFY COUNT -lt 2 ]. Elif [ $SMSNOTIFY COUNT -lt 4 ]. Elif [ $SMSNOTIFY COUNT -lt 5 ]. Elif [ $SMSNOTIFY COUNT -lt 6 ]. Each parameter to vibrate is 1 more. Vibration, so vibrate 3 times. SMSNOTIFY PATH/vibrate 1 1. Do launchctl unload...

freegnu: J and Python Tips

http://freegnu.blogspot.com/2014/09/j-and-python-tips.html

And other stuff too. Friday, September 26, 2014. J and Python Tips. Self reference for recursion etc. Have to experiment with it. Use seq[:1] and seq[-1:] first and last instead of seq[0] and seq[-1] to avoid index out of range exception for empty sequences. Generally, for all index n use seq[n:n 1] instead of seq[n] to avoid exceptions without having to add extra logic checks. Friday, September 26, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

And other stuff too. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Python File Type Plugin for Vim - Part 1. I wanted to add some IDE style conveniences to my preferred editor, console Vim. Rather than reinventing the wheel I decided to search the Internet and start with what was already out there. I found a bunch of very useful scripts and snippets. In part 1 I am documenting some of what I found here by publishing a snippet that I have only made minor changes to to make it useful for my needs. All three commands act on th...
