Format is ugly, but like a bulldog it is so ugly it's cute.

If you don't want loop, you can always use iterate. :-)

Ack. I've never been able to wrap my head around iterate and it's non-standard, so I ignore it. (I also ignore the pretty printer because I don't understand it, even though it is standard.)

Perhaps because it uses draft.js?

I've seen this in various Lisp implementations. And the Boehm collector is written in C for C.

I did this 20 years ago. My allocator had multiple regions (slabs) that were tuned to specific allocation patterns and lifetimes, with different algorithms for managing block size, fragmentation handling, and freeing. We could turn on detailed allocation/free logging, which included the file/line the action took place. From this we could put the system under load and then identify allocation hotspots and build models on block size and lifetimes and tune the allocators from that. It was pretty cool.

Compiler vendors have been doing stuff like this (recognizing specific code patterns from common benchmarks) for 30 years, back in the days when there was real competition amongst C compilers (Borland vs. Zortech, for example.)

Yup. But the HN discussion of this one seemed to be treating it as an instance of compilers being terribly clever to benefit their actual users, rather than yet another benchmark hack.

The symbolism implicit in the characters used in APL is lost with J/K/Q and any other ASCII variant. I highly recommend reading Ken Iverson's Turing Award Lecture too.

Certainly not to record the relations or visualize them, but social network analysis certainly falls into the realm of mathematics.

It is. The advert was to notify you that the iTerm 3 beta is available and that it has some cool features.

It did not ask for donations. It was purely informational.

Indeed. A better link would have been to http://builtoncement.com/2.6/ which tells you what Cement is immediately.

Looks useful if you're a Python developer.

Here are two papers that describe the techniques used by the FDA system (or that were used in the mid-2000's) to find these confusable names.

"Automatic identification of confusable drug names" (2006, http://goo.gl/W5DK0f PDF)

and

"Identification of Confusable Drug Names: A New Approach and Evaluation Methodology" (2004, http://goo.gl/RziUgf PDF)

Both by Grzegorz Kondrak and Bonnie Dorr.

I've used the BI-SIM in a medical-informatics system and it does quite well. I'm also a big fan of EDITEX, which for some uses is better.
