2017-01-24 Thread David Storrs
I mentioned before that I'm writing a system to watch the filesystem for changes. I'm finishing that up and I have a few questions about concurrency issues. 1) How do I determine what a safe maximum number of threads is? 2) I think that (fold-files) is the best way to walk a directory tree,

Hi Racket Users, I ordered a bunch of Racket stickers to celebrate the 6.8 release. Here's proof: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/types/resources/stickers.jpg If you send me your address, I will mail you some stickers. For free!* I'm thinking 4 stickers per request (2 rectangles, 2 circles), but if

I have a keybinding (or rather, a script menu item) that inserts the following into the interaction window: (require (only-in racket/enter dynamic-enter!) (only-in syntax/location quote-module-path)) (dynamic-enter! (quote-module-path main)) then I just press enter and the 'main

In Greg Hendershott's racket-mode for Emacs, the "run" command will run the submodule that's under the cursor. Something similar that would let one right-click a submodule to run it in DrRacket would be quite nice. /David On 01/24/2017 12:17 PM, Robby Findler wrote: There's not a simple way

There's not a simple way to do that right now, but I think a change to the code to make that more configurable would be great. It is probably best to make this as a change to DrRacket proper and support a cleaner interface all around. It might be nice to be able to click on things in the

Hi all, Currently we can choose what submodules to run via the 'Choose Language...' settings. I'd like to make a keyboard shortcut that executes the current module but first asks the user what submodules she wants to run. So far I found (add-drs-function "run" (λ (frame) (send frame

Here is an interesting alternative: https://www.opencpu.org. You communicate with R processes via JSON. So, you wouldn't want a lot of back-and-forth, but I can see doing some setup logic and data prep in Racket, then sending off the JSON request, then interpreting the results. OpenCPU
