[racket-users] Re: inflate/deflate

Interesting... If I prepend `(bytes #x78 #x9c)` to the compressed data created by deflate, zlib-flate will uncompress it. Same thing happens in reverse where I skip the first two bytes of the zlib-flate'd data and process it with inflate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

[racket-users] inflate/deflate

I'm looking at some data that was zlib compressed and I thought I'd inflate it with file/gunzip's deflate function, but I get "inflate: error in compressed data". I thought to try from the opposite direction, grabbing some deflated data from Racket and then asking zlib-flate to inflate it

[racket-users] PDF version of HTDP 2E

Hello I was wondering if the second edition of How to Design Programs was available in a download format, and if so where can I find it. The issue that I am having is that I spend a good part of my day in an environment with little to no cell or Internet services, and it would be a lot easier

Re: [racket-users] PDF version of HTDP 2E

The short answer is ‘no.’ It’s in the print queue with MIT P and they will bring out paper book this year. They also own all other electronic publication rights. — Matthias > On Jan 11, 2017, at 10:10 AM, BD1 a wrote: > > Hello > I was wondering if the second

Re: [racket-users] Link to racket doc in scribble?

Andreas, To link to a technical term (i.e., not to a particular binding), you'll want to use the `tech` function. To link to a term in another document (in this case the Racket Reference), you'll want to use the `#:doc` keyword, with the module path of (the top-level of) that document, in this

Re: [racket-users] Narrow radix of string->number.

For the app that you're using, can you provide a histogram of the inputs that you supply to number->string or, if it isn't too much trouble, point me at the app so I can grab that? Robby On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 12:31 PM, JCG wrote: > On Thursday, December 29, 2016 at

[racket-users] Copying a namespace?

Hello, I want to shadow instead of mutate. The ideal solution would be to create a new environment that extends the old one, so that new definitions in the new environment shadow the old definitions instead of mutating them. But if that isn't feasible with the way namespaces work right now,

Change how local variables compile at the prompt that's inside the debug repl? You should have the complete set of them, I think. Compile them into looking into a table other than the namespace. Robby On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 5:41 PM, Alex Knauth wrote: > Hello, > > I want

Re: [racket-users] Link to racket doc in scribble?

Also, if you have something like this: #lang scribble/manual @(require (for-label racket)) @racket[future] you should see the word `future` linked to the docs. (And, if you had a larger program in there, all the identifiers that come from the `racket` module would be linked.) Robby On
