papers-we-love VS devdocs

Papers We Love (PWL) is a community built around reading, discussing and learning more about academic computer science papers. This repository serves as a directory of some of the best papers the community can find, bringing together documents scattered across the web. You can also visit the Papers We Love site for more info.

You might find the paper Out of the Tar Pit interesting if you haven't already read it: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/d...

The ideas and approaches you talk about evoked some of the concepts from that paper for me. It talks a lot about separating accidental complexity and infrastructure so you can focus only on what is essential to define your solutions.

Sure he was expecting a practical language and was designing one. Lisp was from day zero a project to implement a real programming language for a computer.

Earlier he experimented with IPL and also list processing programming on Fortran. The plan was to implement a Lisp compiler. At first the Lisp code McCarthy was experimenting with, was manually translated to machine code.

Then came up the idea to use EVAL as a base for an interpreter, which was implemented by manually translating the Lisp code to machine language. Around 1962 then a compiler followed.

I'm in a 4th camp: we should be writing our applications against a relational data model and _not_ marshaling query results into and out of Objects at all.

Elaborations on this approach:

- https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/d...

- https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/

The short ask: Anyone know of any projects that bring incremental view maintenance to SQLite?

The why:

Applications are usually read heavy. It is a sad state of affairs that, for these kinds of apps, we don't put more work on the write path to allow reads to benefit.

Would the whole No-SQL movement ever even have been a thing if relational databases had great support for materialized views that updated incrementally? I'd like to think not.

And more context:

I'm working to push the state of "functional relational programming" [1], [2] further forward. Materialized views with incremental updates are key to this. Bringing them to SQLite so they can be leveraged one the frontend would solve this whole quagmire of "state management libraries." I've been solving the data-sync problem in SQLite (https://vlcn.io/) and this piece is one of the next logical steps.

If nobody knows of an existing solution, would love to collaborate with someone on creating it.

Here is a great Repo on GitHub named paers-we-love. You will surely find some great papers there and also some good other resources. Hope this helps.

However, f and g are interchangeable anywhere else (this is not actually true because their addresses can be obtained and compared; showing that a C-like language retains its referential transparency despite the existence of so-called l-values was the point of what I think is the first paper to introduce the notion referential transparency to the study of programming languages: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/main/l...)

You might find DevDocs to be useful: https://devdocs.io/

DevDocs - Aggregates documentation from various sources into a single, easy-to-navigate interface, covering frontend and backend technologies. DevDocs

DevDocs, an offline API documentation browser, supports multilingual, offering developers a quick and efficient way to access tech docs. From front-end to back-end and mobile development, it integrates official documentation, providing a sleek, user-friendly interface.

Environmental lighting conditions rule the day! I have astigmatism and I prefer bright backgrounds; #000 text on #fff backgrounds works great for me, but that's because I work in a room lit by a 250W 30,000 lumen corn-cob LED bulb[0] that makes my small office as bright on the inside as the shaded ground from a tree on an overcast day (which is quite bright compared to usual indoor lighting). In a room that bright, high contrast text works great and is highly readable, with "dark mode" often looking washed out and muddy. Even small reductions in contrast (such as what https://devdocs.io does with text of #333 in light mode) can make me notice and wish for greater contrast.

Here's how to add a new scraper: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs/blob/main/.github/CO...

Or open an issue and wait for somebody else to implement the scraper.

Imagine a single, intuitive platform where you can access comprehensive documentation for a vast array of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools. That's the magic of DevDocs. This exceptional resource eliminates the frustration of juggling multiple tabs and websites in your quest for information. DevDocs brings everything together into one easy-to-use interface.

Mosh for a stable connection, Offline documentation such as msdn, wikipedia (via kiwi etc), zeal for local access to https://devdocs.io/; Self host tabby for ai autocompletion. For many shell programs check what mulinux was using back then, and what are the modern replacements such as elinks instead of links. Mutt for mail, for irc doesn't matter much, use a desktop one but setup a bouncher on a vps, I used to have one on a raspberry pi 1, you can use rss reader for reddit (not sure if still works) and blogs
