eye of glass. non-god instant replay, ubiquitous.

If I could, I'd setup servers and write a client/app for Google Glass to stream the last hour of video so people can instant replay anything anytime anywhere.

- no more bullshiting

change of civilisation.

storing code versus storing logic

in my mind imperative~ languages are full of 'code' variables.
they store encoded knowledge into state variable.
that will then be interpreted by the program.

e.g:

function sort(data, sorting) { case sorting = "num" : ... ; "..." : ... }

other paradigms store logic directly

function sort(data, sorting) { sorting(data[:half]) (+) sorting(data[half:]) }

and.. that's all.

Reduce syntax.

LISP 'syntax' is <nouns> <spaces> <grouping>, everything else is semantic. The traditional layering way since backus is harmful. It forbids access to the metalanguage. ';' is dealt with by the parser then it disappears, what if I want to refine, extends, wrap it ?

syntax-less~ languages like FORTH and LISP have this trait which is fundamental IMNSHO

ps: other languages provides similar means of combinations, Haskell is known for that, Scala too. What about clean, pure, f# ..

using custom rsa key filename with github

Out of paranoia I created my keys with '.gh' as {suf,in}fix. Github documentation mention a test command:

ssh -T git@github.com

Append `-i <public-key>` and retry.

e.g:

ssh -T git@github.com -i ~/.ssh/foo.gh.pub

Little elisp proto-snippet of the day : duplicate-line, select-current-line

Because `C-a C-SPC C-e M-w` just doesn't cut it, and I like playing piano, I decided to dig the web for a few helpers. I'm quite fond of the keybindings right now, let's see if they stick.

(defun duplicate-line ()
  "copy the current line underneath"
  (interactive)
  (move-beginning-of-line 1)
  (kill-line)
  (yank)
  (open-line 1)
  (next-line 1)
  (yank)
  (move-beginning-of-line 1)
  (message "TODO: restore caret position?, on original or new line?"))

(defun select-current-line ()
  "Select the current line"
  (interactive)
  ;; (end-of-line) ; move to end of line
  ;; (set-mark (line-beginning-position))
  (beginning-of-line)
  (set-mark (line-end-position))
  (message "TODO: select from begin to end or end to begin ? (caret > [begin..end]/2 => beg to end. end to beg otherwise)"))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-d") 'duplicate-line)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-l") 'select-current-line)
