Parsing Errors / java.NullpointerExceptions on nokia 9210i Is there an "official" data file for small devices? After playing around with frink on my XP...
Hi Knut, I have some answers to your questions below. ... At the moment, all devices use the same data file. ... Does something like 2+2 work? Do any...
Hi Alan, thanks for answering and providing hints. I'll try some of them during this week. Meanwhile, I've been investigating around with frink on the ...
This week, I was flattered to be invited to submit a paper on Frink for a conference on "Lightweight Languages" at MIT: http://ll4.csail.mit.edu/ I'm...
Wow. Good luck. I'd say what sets Frink apart is the way it encourages a scientific way of thought. it's a generally accepted fact that the language somebody...
Alan -- I've done about a zillion talks and I've got 20+ papers and I don't know how many conference presentations. If you'd like to get together for lunch or...
Alan, This is a good opportunity to promote your "baby." Language ... I would focus on the integration of dimensions into the core of a modern object-oriented...
... What a terrific opportunity, not only to publicize Frink but for you to rub elbows with all the others who will be there. Your final paper will be...
... I'm happy to say that my abstract was approved for this conference, and I will indeed be presenting. Information about the conference, including abstracts...
In the latest versions of Frink, there have been a few new features. * Added documentation on how to integrate Frink into your own Java program. This includes...
I'm glad to say that my talk at the Lightweight Languages 4 conference at MIT was a success. No hardware failures (which is a miracle with my aged and balky...
Hmm. In the presentation you mentioned fahrenheit and celcius as units that you couldn't calculate the normal way, because their zero values didn't really...
... Yup, exactly. I have different ways of representing absolute temperature and temperature differences in Fahrenheit and Celsius. In Kelvin, (or Rankine,)...
I've turned my presentation from the Lightweight Languages 4 conference into more platform-friendly HTML format. I've also turned my notes into a more...
The current release of Frink (2005-03-11) fixes a bug for some values of the function JacobiSymbol[a,n] when a is negative and the range [-2147483648, -1]...
Earlier this week, Sun released Java 1.5.0 update 2, which I'm tentatively calling "the first Java release that actually works." From day 1, Java made much...
I'm working on implementing interval arithmetic in Frink. Interval arithmetic is cool--instead of a number being a single value, an interval can contain a...
(i'm about to launch into an unfounded ramble through ideas, which may not go anywhere useful. feel free to skip to that much more interesting email from your...
... To paraphrase Kirk's comment about Spock, "your unfounded ramble is as good as another man's well-considered reply." ... Actually, multiplying a scalar by...
... What about A .. B? Examples: for i = 0 .. 100 ; do fa[i] = f[i] + f[i-1]; done lunchtime = 12am .. 1pm if x in lunchtime; then do_lunchtime_event ; endif ...
... Ah, i didn't grok what intervals really were. I was thinking of them only in terms of their outer bounds, and simple calculations like + 2. Realizing that...
... Marcus Downing also suggested this (and a few similar options) and I addressed it in my last reply. I understand if you didn't plow through that whole...
... Hmm... well I'd definitely go with an object interface, just in case you wanted to add probabilities to the intervals next, or maybe define intervals in...

Wow. A fuzzy calculator. That really would be impressive. ... I did actually wonder about using a syntax like this, if no symbolic one presented itself. I...
... That would be neat, but hard! Actually, maybe not that hard. If I understand the intent correctly, you could do something very similar by defining a few...
I'm happy to say that Frink now has a working implementation of interval arithmetic. Programs that you've written in the past might now start automagically...
Very cool. Although I seem to remember suggesting the same thing a few years ago to Alan, except I called it a error value. Or am I wrong, and an error value...
... That 'main' value is lost in certain operations, or? The problem is, of course, the non-monotonity (sp?) of certain (continuous...) operations. That means...
... Interval arithmetic can be considered to follow somewhat different rules than traditional error analysis. Usually, in traditional error analysis, it's...
