I am looking for solid libraries to perform numerical computation (other than the Science Collection which has been partly integrated already), and more generally scientific computing, using Racket. I got a few hits from my search engines but this is mostly old and unmaintained stuff (e.g., racket-ml, data-science). This SE thread is worth a read although the replies mainly point to Julia. BTW, note that Tamas K. Papp stopped using CL for scientific computation (and also switched to Julia) for specific reasons. #scheme

It looks like Elfeed is way more handy than it was, thanks to elfeed-org to handle OPML files.

As far as I know, outside of Elfeed there does not exist an extensible, text-file configured, power-user web feed client that can handle a reasonable number of feeds. The existing clients I’ve tried are missing some important capability that limits its usefulness to me.

Note that Spacemacs uses the key combination g r to update the live feed, not G as mentioned in Chris’ tutorial. #emacs

Please take note! I’m trying out iTunes Radio but the next two TV shows will be Occupied and The Expanse for sure.

I’ve been hanging around in this apartment for two years without going out or seeing anyone, except a few friends. I guess that’s one way to look at Getting Things Done, without regard to the details and without really having to accomplish anything.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Interactive Version. Together with Composing Programs I think this is one of the most beautiful interactive textbook I found on the internet in years. #scheme #python

Well, nobody seems to care about xlispstat support anymore. Just got a weird error when trying to load some old code from UCLA, notwithstanding the fact that Spacemacs/ESS actually autoload Julia mode. #emacs
