Frequently when I am trying to create a new Tab in Firefox by pressing Ctrl+T I find out that I've just entered an APL char into the Find box instead although...
Sorry, in this paragraph: * In APL mode the keyboard does not support any of the standard shortcuts. This mode is designed ... at the very bottom of my posting...
Agreed; the point about so called "...simple rules..." is that you should then get predictable, reproduceable results in any given mode for any given...
I wonder whether part of the problem stems from Dyalog's historic decision to use the Ctrl key as trigger for APL characters. Do people using APLX, APL2 (and...
Dick, some remarks: <snip> ... This is by no means about configuring anything. You _cannot_ enter APL characters anywhere without having Dyalog APL installed...
[kai] Conclusion A) APL characters should to be entered (and tested!) in an APL session. Full stop. B) In APL there are two keyboard modes: "Standard" and...
... For me an optimal APL keyboard extension would be one using the "scroll lock" toggle key. With the LED on you get an APL keyboard. I don't know of any...
... Does anyone use TeamViewer (rhetorical)? This is a great, free-for-personal-use, application to run a secure remote session. I use it often to help out...
... Except, of course, a very rarely used application called Excel... -- Stefano [[OK, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good ...
... Right - the key that stops the cursor keys moving around in a spreadsheet. What a great application! How many people in this group went bananas because...
Perhaps I'm missing something of the 'simplicity' and 'glamour' of our well-paid obsession, and I have been accused of being a tad cynical in the past...
Will be on 2009-07-24 at 14:00 Second time at our new home: The Knights Templar, Chancery Lane, WC2A 1DT. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=WC2A%201DT where...
That approach is not exactly a nice one, to put it mildly. See http://aplwiki.com/GameOfLife for a better one. And don't miss the YouTube video on the bottom...
Hi all, Two related questions, one for old hands and one for newbies: First for the newbies: The membership function (dyadic epsilon) produces are result that...
Q1: I appreciate this can be confusing for newcomers. Q2: Membership: Mathematical convention requires that the arguments to dyadic epsilon be this way around....
I think it is the same as with divide and modulo. In the primitive's syntax design they could not alter membership and divide, as these were already in use in...
While we're in reflective mood, I think we do ourselves a disservice when we say that "APL executes right-to-left". I have seen this lead to confusion for...
John, thank you very much for the response, and the statistical analyis! Over and beyond the call of duty! PM, thanks for pointing out modulus as well. This...
John, What a brilliant essay on a core problem while teaching APL. After my 30+ with APL I didn't expect to learn something new on the basis, but I was wrong!...
All i have is a workspace with the one-liner embedded in the function 'life'. Beats me how it works. Must be written in non-Dyalog APL. See the attached...
Yes, that's something I never quite understood. In ANY language, if I say "give me the TAN of the Square of the sine of x+2" I will have to compute x+2...
... Not an original thought, of course, it's just that we might have forgotten it somewhere along the way. I think I heard KEI say this first and, if I...
... Not sure if this helps or over-simplifies at this point, but when I explain this concept to beginners in APL classes, I use the term "scope". ie. the scope...
