Hi,
http://juergen-sauermann.de/try-GNU-APL
is up again. Seems like the server on which it is being
hosted was restarted some days ago. I have changed the setup now
so that try-GNU-APL is
started automatically when the machine is rebooted.
Greetings,
I took a look at the Try APL site http://juergen-sauermann.de/try-GNU-APL
I noticed a format / spacing problem. I am attaching a PNG file the
depicts the problem.
Thanks!
Blake
Hi David,
not sure either if this is a bug. The APL standard has quite a
specification gap
when it comes to binding strength. In GNU APL, the binding between
values
(aka strand notation) is stronger than the binding between values
and functions.
I think such a change would make sense. A niladic function is in some sense
a shortcut to writing a specific value, so it should probably be treated as
such.
It a little odd that:
1 2 X 4
is different from:
1 2 (X) 4
Regards,
Elias

Hi Blake,
thanks, hopefully fixed. This web stuff remains entirely dubious
to me,
so don't expect too much.
Best Regards,

Hi,
yes. In some sense. Actually
1 2 X 4
is the same as 1 2 (X) 4
because there is a rule that says so. However, the point here is
that
1 2 X 4
can be (very) different from
(1 2 X 4)

You are the only one sending your emails as html - it isn't a very security
minded thing to do - usually only malware and tracking malware use html in
emails

Hi,
the only options of my email client (thunderbird) seem to be plain text,
html,
or both plain text and html. I have seen that my formatting gets lost
when using
plain text. I believe sending such emails to bug-apl is safe, and I have
tagged
you as plain text receiver in my thunderbird address b
