[racket-users] windows nightly builds -run beside the stable version?

2018-03-07 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
Is there a self-contained nightly build without the installer which sets 
defaults and icons and shortcuts? 

I'd like to test out the nightly builds but they occasionally step over the 
stable version.

[racket-users] sharing an awesome plot - warms the cockles of my heart

2018-03-23 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
I've done no math in 20 years - used to do tons (with the not so great 
graphics of the time) saw this intriguing plot & banged my head against a 
wall for a couple of hours.

Then I just settled down & read the manual systematically, pretending it 
may have some info,  followed the examples and voila

(require plot)(plot-new-window? #t)
(define(xu u)(*(sin(* 33 u))(cos(* 9 u
(define(yu u)(*(sin(* 49 u))(sin(* 7 u
(plot(parametric(λ(t)(vector(xu t)(yu t)))0 1));

what I'm seeing: the curve is quantized into squarish shapes ( the full 
resolution static plot has no angles, it's all curves)
 - and all the squares are rotating together - It occurred to me later it 
could be a symptom of monitor refresh rates so others may not see it.

make a keyword useable as the parameter-expr in a parameterize expression. 

for example, If I need a similar #:unless cause for  a bunch of for 
expressions 

It's not a current issue, but would be good  to have in the toolbox for 
next time.

Re: [racket-users] parameterize and keyword - doable?

2018-08-04 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
the specific case I had in mind was near this

(let ([unless? odd?]) 
  (for/sum ([x '(1 2 3 4 5)] 
#:unless (uless? x)) 
x)) ;6 

but as long as one is defaulting #:unless 
PLUS #unless is common to all the for's across some arbitrary scope, 
ideally one could elide it from each of the for's within that scope. 

your current-unless looks a good candidate for another place.

"Turing is useless" ... 

While I worked as a programmer I used to complain quite bitterly about 
university comp sci departments that had NIH (not invented here) syndrome 
and  a captive audience. 

I learned Turing as my 2nd programming language.  I'm sure the only reason 
it could have been taught is the profs & grad students that "invented" 
(added a few trivial things to Pascal) Turing had great political pull at 
University of Toronto in that decade.

I didn't realize (though I should have) that the comment could be taken 
that way. 

I realize you were not writing anything about the Turing language, but the 
title of the essay triggered some memories for me of what my classmates and 
later my professional colleagues used to talk about.  And for some reason 
this time the title made me laugh (I've read it before and did not have 
that reaction). 

I've been using Racket for all my hobbyist programming for a while so 
there's no possibility that it could not be taught on its own merits 
instead of through influence.

description and amt?  car-ing and cdr-ing for example?

Or move the identifier definitions into the let*, and pass those to for in 
some way?

(let*((ratio 9/12))
  (for((description(list "this" "that"))
   (amt(list 4467.61 2428.37)))
(printf"~a ~a: changed values\n"
   description
   (cat(* amt ratio) -2.

Re: [racket-users] for loop: any way to access the whole list?

2019-06-15 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
thanks, 

the whole idea is to localize the identifiers to the for (preferred) or the 
let*. 

Reaching back to get the whole list when the for has bound the same 
identifier is probably asking a bit much.

Within the given strictures I probably need to bind the list in the let* 
and use a different identifier in the for().

[racket-users] Re: lambda and the equivalent define / "defun"

2016-09-06 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
Thanks, that's helpful

I am having trouble coming up with a quick and easy shorthand to recur on the 
rest parameter - is there a standard way to cdr down this list without an 
intermediary helper function that takes out the raise-nesting-depth effect? 

Recursion on the base define (the one with the rest parameter) always adds 
another layer of nesting for the rest parameter - the first time recurring one 
must cdr, all the other times one must fiddle with car & cdr and what I'm doing 
has been prone working for the first few iterations but eventually 
arity-mismatches.

Thanks for joining in.

The amended question had nothing to do with the earlier example

I'm  wondering if there's a quick, standard (and easily understood) idiom 
(without an internal helper function) to recur on the variable argument list y

The flatten's not ideal - I may want to retain some sub-list structure 

(define x 4)
(define t2
  (lambda y
(let ((z (car y)))
  (display y)(newline)
  (display (flatten y))(newline)
  (display z)(newline)
  (if (> x 0)
  (begin
(set! x (- x 1))
;(t2 (cdr y)))
(t2 y))
  (void)
(t2 1 2 3 4 5 6)



RETURNS
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
1
((1 2 3 4 5 6))
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
(((1 2 3 4 5 6)))
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
((1 2 3 4 5 6))
1 2 3 4 5 6
(1 2 3 4 5 6)

Re: [racket-users] Re: lambda and the equivalent define / "defun"

2016-09-07 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
Just illustrates the changing structure (increased nesting depth) on each 
recursive call

The initial call to t2 changes the structure of the  argument/parameter - 
it puts in a list where there was no list.

Each recursive call from inside t2 again changes the structure, adding an 
enclosing '() for the  parameter

For the usual (no ) function call It's not an issue for the standard 
car/cdr idiom of walking down recursive structures.

Suppose one's doing a calculation of interest earned on an investment and one

[racket-users] emacs keybinding behaviour - is this as designed?

2017-06-26 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
The issue is with marking a region at s-expr boundary (start or end)

I start the marking (C-space) and move forward (C-f or right arrow) and the 
region is marked as I expect, whether I cross an s-expr boundary or not.

and some results I didn't expect

I start the marking (C-space) and move forward (M-C-f) or back (M-C-b) and the 
region marking gets disabled. 

I start the marking (C-space) and move forward (C-f or right arrow) then back 
to the start of the s-expr (C-a) and the region marking gets disabled. If I 
don't use C-a here, just going back and forth with the caret motion commands

sigh ... meant to get this part into the reply (from the same paper) 

The original version of the loop macro consists of 1840 lines of
code, not counting comments and empty lines. The implementation
of the loop keyword macros takes 387 lines; the rest includes the
implementation of its various intermediate languages and scope
inference for loop-bound variables. The syntax-parse version is
1887 lines, an increase of forty-seven lines. The increase is due to
the new version of define-simple-syntax.

[racket] sxpath, txpath

2015-02-23 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
I'm somehow stuck on how to translate txpath syntax to sxpath syntax

#lang racket (require sxml)(require sxml/html)
(define doc(html->xexp"
   
  
  
   
   
  
   
   
  
  
 

 
 
  
  
   
  
   
   abcdefg
  
   
"))

((txpath"/aaa/xxx/preceding::*")doc); expect bbb, ccc, zzz
((sxpath'(//ccc/descendant-or-self::*))doc)

I tried a bunch of variations  for sxpath:

((sxpath'(// ccc '(descendant-or-self )))doc)
((sxpath'(// ccc '(/ descendant-or-self )))doc)
((sxpath'(// ccc / descendant-or-self::*))doc)

~/.racket/6.1.1/pkgs/sxml/sxml/doc/sxml/sxpath.html
"Like sxpath, but only accepts an XPath query in string form, using the
standard XPath syntax.

Deprecated; use sxpath instead."

I'd like to get the other axes and accessors working but now that I've
spent some time on this I REALLY want to know what my blind spot is here.

2015-02-23 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
it's too early in the morning; I included sxpath expressions from a
different example than the txpath expression

the examples do show the ways I've been trying to do that transform.

several blind spots, the last being the sxpath context as the argument that

(sxml:... [])
gets applied to

[racket-users] overlapping fields in windows, DrRacket user interface (preferences, "choose language")

2015-06-29 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
windows 7;  it's most obvious in 
"preferences -> warnings"

also "choose language -> details" 


I can ivoke and reverse it from this screen:
 
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display
 -> make text and other items larger or smaller
   -> medium

[racket-users] keep everything in each in-place install

2015-08-01 Thread Sanjeev Sharma
I am getting conflicts between the global install and in-place installs, 
especially in document searches not working.


I'm guessing the issue is with user preferences. 

Is there a way to do the in-place install such that everything gets put in the 
in-place install's tree?

thanks

same versions - I was trying to see the effects of different gcc optimization 
flags, especially with Pict3D & some math.
