did my email requesting polymorphic Set and Map modules not get to the list?
<
jemfinch`>
I don't remember getting it after I sent it...
<
Submarine>
You are not subscribed?
<
jemfinch`>
well, some of my mails have gotten to the list.
<
jemfinch`>
I sent the FORT question, and an answer to that one guy who had the same problem I did.
<
Submarine>
I suspect it trashes every mail not originated from a subscribed address.
<
Submarine>
Or it queues it for Pierre Weis to approve.
<
jemfinch`>
yeah, I think so...but some of my emails have gotten through, and they've all been from the same address.
<
Submarine>
Or INRIA has problems.
<
jemfinch`>
so you've not seen an email requesting polymorphic Set and Map modules?
<
Submarine>
Just a sec.
<
Submarine>
You are jeremy fincher?
<
Submarine>
've been looking for a good framework to unit-test my software, and Fort seems
<
Submarine>
to fit the bill. There are, however, a few things standing in my way that I'd
<
Submarine>
like to resolve.
<
jemfinch`>
yeah, that one was sent after the one requesting polymorphic types.
<
Submarine>
This can be consistent with manual approval.
<
jemfinch`>
yeah, it can be.
<
jemfinch`>
and I've gotten mails saying I've been moved to the "bounces" section...
<
jemfinch`>
but everytime I try to fix that, it doesn't work.
<
jemfinch`>
(and nothing has bounced, to my knowledge)
<
Submarine>
mmmh... where is that "smart diff" utility?
<
Submarine>
I think there's somewhere a diff utility that's capable of detecting that two "different" numbers are the same floating-point numbers.
<
jemfinch`>
I've not heard of that utility...

just put his source code in CVS a few days ago.

hey, woober.
<
woober>
Hi, jemfinch`
<
woober>
does ocaml have something for object persistence>
<
Submarine>
Define object persistence.
<
jemfinch`>
woober: Check out the Marshall module.
<
woober>
program starts, objects defined. program stops. program starts again, old objects are still availabe, can be modified...
<
jemfinch`>
(it might only have one l)
<
woober>
hmmm... Marshal is serial io based... anything more along the lines of oodb?
<
Submarine>
Well, the problem with OCaml marshalling is that it won't survive version changes.
<
jemfinch`>
woober: no, there's no oodb type thing implemented in O'Caml to my knowledge.
woober has left #ocaml []

wonders why he doesn't actually stick around longer.

debugs mlgmp
<

what's mlgmp ?
<
malc>
Submarine: nums are inadequate or something?
<
malc>
gnu multiprecission library ml bindings i would think
<
Submarine>
Well, the Bignum module does not offer floats.
<
Submarine>
And it uses an old underlying library that does not offer optimal performance on modern machines.
<
malc>
dec&inria joint venture from 80-is
<
malc>
so no wonder really
<
Submarine>
I'm using MPFR (LORIA / Paris 6).
* malc
uses Num atop of functors.. [guess you cant shit on performance any more than that]
<
Submarine>
I have something like that for my Algebra package.
<
malc>
is it available from somewhere? i sortof need symbolic representation of some cofactors
<
Submarine>
Not yet.
<
Submarine>
This package simply offers multivariate polynomials and various generic constructs over rings.
<
Submarine>
So you can quotient the ring of polynomials over a field by the ideal generated by a polynomial.
<
Submarine>
No Grobner bases. :-)
<
malc>
You sadly mistaken me for someone with math skills ;)
<
Submarine>
what's a "cofactor" ?
<
malc>
Submarine: term i(probably) invented, not really up-to-date with english math terminology

Submarine: paragraph advertising mic-paren(among other things) misses one, is that intentional?
<
malc>
ighlights your matching parentheses in green and your non-matching ones in red when you put the cursor on them (very nice to edit Lisp or Caml.
<
Submarine>
this page is grossly out of date
<
malc>
still missing paren in this exact place is amusing
