ritonlajoie··on APL – a Glimpse of Heaven (2006)
Well, I don't want to... but I have no time nor real interest in trying to understand what he did in APL. My only issue is that he is not interested in hearing from me that nobody will take over what he did.. He won't listen ;( He thinks everything else sucks.. I tried to make him read some stuff about python for example. He said this sucked also ! lol
ritonlajoie··on APL – a Glimpse of Heaven (2006)
I have an issue with APL. My grandfather who is a researcher in forest science (sorry English is not my main language), made his own software in APL to manage his own forest. Now, he is becoming old, and trying to get me to get the software, and to understand it for when he will pass.

The thing is, I'm a C++ dev professionally, but whenever I see his code in APL, I cringe. I can't get to make him understand that building what is basically a dynamic spreadsheet in APL is kind of complicated for me, coming from an OO side of programming. Also, that's the only language he knows.

I have a hard time telling him that all the work he did and still does in APL (I guess now there are like thousands of lines) will just go to trash and my uncles will just use Excel to do that when they'll take over the forest business.

Edit: I have another issue with DyalogAPL. When my grandfather sends me a workspace , I can't open it because DyalogAPL is not that much backward compatible ! So if we don't have the exact same version, I just can't open his workspace. It's 2014 , damn !

ritonlajoie··on OpenStreetMap is now navigation-ready
Well, I typed my address in OSM (I live in Paris) and I can even see the trees, on the map itself. I was very surprised.

Where do you live ? Also, you should really put some license there https://github.com/geomaster/vimrc :) Maybe try to promote a license you like :p

ritonlajoie··on Odoo: The new OpenERP
For me, an acceptable UI in an ERP means this ERP can be used to do basic tasks by someone not having any PhD ni ERP Usage :)
ritonlajoie··on A/B testing in Mailchimp: 7 years of successful experiments
For some company (a two person cpy), I'm using Mailchimp to send emails to their 3500 clients. The thing is, I don't really want a mailing list stuff.

Today, what are my options if I just want to send HTML emails through outlook to my 3500 subscribers, without being flagged as SPAM ?

ritonlajoie··on Odoo: The new OpenERP
I installed OpenERP some days ago, just to see what it had become. I found it nice. Even though I think you would still need to be really documented on how to use the different modules.
ritonlajoie··on Odoo: The new OpenERP
What are the alternatives to OpenERP today ? (I mean, free and open sources ones, with acceptable UI)

ritonlajoie··on Pattern Matching – Make the Compiler Work for You
I encountered a similar issue at work. How one would do compile-time completeness validation in C++ without using some extra stuff like Boost or the new features of C++ 0xXX?
ritonlajoie··on Inferno Raspberry Pi image – beta release
Hello i would like to try that in virtualbox since I don't have a RPI. How one would go to load an .img file in virtualbox ? Should I try to convert it to some .iso and boot with it ?
ritonlajoie··on A new Django content management system
I made a demo here : http://runnable.com/U14o8gNBvRl84F7n/wagtaildemo-git-for-pyt...

Run it, expand the URL written in the top box (not sure why it's not working properly).

Add /admin to the URL and log in with hnews/hnews for the admin area.

well, I installed npm just for that :p

Also Tried the cache clear, didn't do anything.

Nevermind, will pass on that. Seems to be a great work btw, will try again in a few months :)

Edit : I had to npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ and it's working now.

ritonlajoie··on BitTorrent secures and open-sources DHT bootstrap server
A little bit off topic, but I tried to get a developer API key for Bittorrent Sync, and never heard of them.

Same thing for Bittorrent Live.

Has anyone been successful in getting those ? Also, with the twitch flop (quality of the website, lags, 60 sec delay, PR problems) why don't we hear more about the Live service ?

ritonlajoie··on Ask HN: Alternative to Bittorent Sync?
Thanks for your answer. Users are connected through the net though
ritonlajoie··on Have I been pwned? Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach
It looks like the guy having mark@facebook.com has an Adobe account !
ritonlajoie··on Multiprocess Firefox
From a code maintainance point of view, how do you manage to keep this 'branch' in track with the main one ? I mean, every patch made to the real firefox has to be carefully reviewed and backported to this multiprocess branch. Is that a manual process ? Or can it be automated like that :

1) Check if new commit arrived on 'head' 2) Auto backport it to the multiprocess branch 3) Try a build + run tests. Everything looks good ? Keep it 4) Not goot ? Send an email to the multiprocess maintainer so that he has a look ?

Is there another way to do that ?
