My friend Ric Szopa wrote a "similarity" function in clojure to compare how similar two strings are using the trigrams approach (find all the sequential 3-letter combos in both words and measure the overlap): # trigrams in clojure (author: Ric Szopa) (defn- trigrams [str] (let [n 3 padding (repeat (...

thanks! :-)

maybe some day

it has been relatively quiet around here these days so here's a link to a blog post I wrote to make some noise (one of the 3 blog posts I have ever written in my life ;-) I wrote it a while ago and forgot about it. I just remembered that it exists and that it references newLisp: http://ginzametrics....

hello kanen! so your question is how to implement a varient of the UNTIL macro in Common Lisp that saves: 1. the return value of the test expression to a variable, and 2. the iteration count to a variable note that in your example: (until (= (set 'x (rand 10)) 0) (println $idx ":" x " not 0")) you a...

if anyone wants to grab a newlisp beer in Germany, Poland, Austria, or Croatia in June/July let me know!

otherwise it will have to be when you come to berkeley ;-)

take care

Great video m i c h a e l !

Just watched it

Thanks!

I confess I started thinking about a crowded bar of Common Lispers, and the arrival of a Stranger (played by Clint Eastwood, possibly) who orders a beer and stands at the other end of the bar, wearing a worn newLISP T-shirt under his poncho. "Hey, Stranger," says one of the drinkers, " if yer looki...

Any newLISPers going to be at ILC2010 in Reno, NV this month? If so do you want to plan a newLISP beer one night at the conference?

Also, any newLISPers in NYC? If so how about a newLISP beer somewhere around Manhattan the last weekend of October 2010?

Take care

Thanks for your reply Lutz The posts above give me good ideas on how to approach the problem. It looks like: If I want to "stop the world" and critically debug the server I can telnet in (since it seems to block other programs from accessing). But if I just want to get some data from the server here...

So if I start a newlisp server newlisp -c -d 4711 and I connect to it with client program #1 and it does stuff (like responding to a request for information) echo "(begin (sleep 10000) 'return-stuff)" | nc 127.0.0.1 4711 and then I suspect something is wrong inside the newlisp server because the out...

an easier hack in this case might be to just to use the symbol itself as a container and evaluate it upon access (set 'outer1 '() 'outer2 '()) () > (set 'inner '()) () > (push 'inner outer1) ; quoted inner (inner) > (push 'inner outer2) ; quoted inner (inner) > (push 1 inner) (1) > (map eval outer1)...

polls closed :-(

Are you still going to support the "Manual and Reference" document distributed with newLISP? In its current format (strict HTML with or without index frame) it is probably the nicest lisp manuals I have ever seen...

Nick

we still don't have a good way of doing this distributed proof-reading. I think more people would contribute if the mechanics were easier. Something like WikiBooks might be something to consider one day... Is the manual /code patterns HTML generated from another text format? My humble suggestion is...

"STD I/O pipes" or "scripts as pipes"? STD I/O pipes don't seem to work with any telnet application I can find for Windows.

FWIW I moved on to NET-CONNECT/NET-PEEK/NET-RECEIVE/NET-SEND and am having good results directly reading and writing bytes to the telnet server from newlisp...

hey cormullion thanks for the quick response :-) unfortuanatly there is no peek on windows! my guess is an oddity in the behavior of telnet.exe itself, since people seem to be having trouble scripting it with other languages/tools: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1904438.php I downloaded net...

hi I am trying to script some tests for a network card with newLISP on Windows XP When I execute (process "telnet") the telnet application hijacks my cmd prompt (so I can't interact with newlisp until I close telnet) and no input/output from newlisp makes it to/from the telnet process. Is there a wa...

One important thing is - use eval , don't avoid it. Unlike in other Lisp dialects, eval in Newlisp is generally not related with performance penalties and it can access to all variables. Interesting. I look forward to learning to stop worrying and love the EVALl ;-) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/ima...

Hello I'm playing with newLISP lately. I think it's great. I *get* it (I think ;-) But the one thing I can't seem to wrap my head around (coming from a CL/elisp/scheme background) is how to survive without DEFMACRO/quasiquote/&body etc.. What code pattern would a newLISP hacker use where a CL hacker...

Hello There is a Lisp and Scheme bunch at Stacks at 10:45am on 2009.04.11 in Menlo Park: http://www.stacksrestaurant.com/ It would be super cool if some newLISP hackers came and can tell us old lispers (and schemers) how cool NET-EVAL is or what exactly it is that you mean by CONS ;-) It was decided...
