Sometimes, it's hard not to feel mild existential crises with the rate AI is improving. What's the point if AI will eventually be able to do everything a human can but better? How do you think yourself out of this? Like what is the 'correct' thing to work on.
If I can run any arbitrary lisp program in a cell (assuming the env is global), I was wondering if this was just a 2d text editor for a lisp. But that's awfully reductionist.
But you're right I'm assuming I'll discover interesting things if I keep tinkering with it!
I only spoke about the project as context for the question in the title, but I see how I could have been clearer, and how I didn't necessarily need to include the title.
If you're experienced in Lisp, I'm still curious about the question: is adding a lisp to a sheet more powerful than adding, say JS, and if so, how?
I'm a CS freshman who got obsessed with lisps after using Scheme in my intro class.Tangentially, as a side project, I made a spreadsheet to learn how their update mechanism worked[0]. For the formula language, I implemented a basic lisp that does math expressions.That got me wondering- would making a fully functional lisp the formula language add substantial power to spreadsheets? Of course,...
Some languages like Clojure seem really interesting, but for the purposes of rapidly coming up with an idea and shipping something hacky really fast, as an outsider, it seems like it has a lot of setup/config compared to js.With webdev, you can write an html file, some css and slap a js file and you're ready to start iterating within seconds. However, you lose the expressivity of a lisp like...
I kept coming up with project ideas but never properly followed through on them, and then I realised that it's because I'm creating tools for 'other people'.Of course, 'other people' is a very vague audience to create for. The most prolific devs I know create amazingly crafted tools for themselves, and if these tools grow, they make it for others.So what are some tools you're really proud of...
A lot of posts/advice on what stack to use revolves around making real websites that will need to scale.But making a hacky prototype that probably won't have more than 10ish users (if it's even used) is completely different.What setup allows you guys to go from idea to prototype the fastest? Bonus points for the least amount of packages, installation steps, deployment config etc.(essentially...
We thought that the idea behind Spotify Wrapped was extremely fun- it’s amazing to look back on your year of music and see how your tastes have changed (that is, if they changed at all)
But we thought it would be great to have the same thing for Github. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see how your coding has developed over the year? How many repos you’ve made, what your best repos were, what your favorite repos were?
That’s why we made YearInCode! You can now look back on your year of programming and see how you’ve grown.
This project was made over the last 2 days, and everything is open source, so, as two aspiring 16 y/o devs, we’d really appreciate any feedback and more importantly, any contributions!
I created an implementation of Linear Regression without any libraries to understand it better myself and teach some people at my High School.
This is my first proper effort at creating a public repo with a good README so hope you guys like it! (Please do consider contributing if you see something you could improve, I'd really appreciate input from you guys)
