Custom boxes are great, until you need to add just one more cable. Now you have two custom boxes. Does look very nice though. How does all that PLA-CF compare costwise to a similar commercial box? |

I highly agree with mixmix, thank you for bringing this issue to attention in the Tom 7 Radar comment section |

I once again encourage you to make a technical, supplementary video on BoVeX. The world needs a 2 hour crash course on compilers by Tom 7. |

Rory: I didn't banish the spider, but I don't do a lot of "SEO," you know? It works for me to search for something like "site:radar.spacebar.org prime".
I haven't played Factorio (or Satisfactory, or Dwarf Fortress), though I am aware of all of those! I'm worried to try them because I would obviously get way too into 'em and lose precious life force. I am mostly playing games that you can just play through and be done with, these days.
On the ! issue, this is because I just crammed zeroes into that line until it looked as good as it could. Only the hyphens go outside the end-of-line, though I agree that other punctuation can look good there too. |

Rory, Factorio and Satisfactory may be games the he would like. Also Dwarf Fortress. |

I was somewhat shocked to find that the Epsom's version of the paper uses the fornication epithet "for) and" in describing C++: "AST pools. datatype declarations are for) and annoying in C++."
The Knuth version has the much more polite "AST pools. One of the main things I need to do is
create tree-structureddata to represent the abstract
syntax tree of the various languages involved.
This is very nice in ML (it is what the datatype declaration is for) and annoying in C++."
I also was disappointed that the style for "!" at the end of a line was inconsistent in the Knuth version. Just before "Maybe!" two lines above "The boxes-and-glue algorithm" does not extend beyond end-of-line, while, as expected, "10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!" does. |

Hi Tom
Two questions
Have you played Factorio? I think I'm the last person on the planet to discover it.
Is it possible to search your blog? Google is a bust - I presume you banished the spider

Since you like to meddle with the GPL justification, you may be surprised that there are many versions of the GPL 2.0, https://github.com/pombredanne/gpl-history/tree/master/allvers |

I added the Widths table, but it turns out there was another issue (which I could only find by stepping through pdf.js in the debugger!): Firefox really wants the "argument" to /FontName to begin with a slash. I guess that makes sense, but none of the validators I found reported any issue here!
FWIW I think the text rendering looks much better in Chrome, but I am happy to have it working in Firefox. Thank you everyone (especially mixmix) for the help and encouragement.
The PDFs on the site should work now. They still don't open in Illustrator; that would be nice to fix but I don't think it'd be a serious obstacle for the main use of the papers, which is to print them out and shred them.
I'll try to make the source code a bit easier to use when I find some more energy. |

mixmix: I do have a lot to say on all those things and the fact that you're interested is heartening! I am not going to think about making videos for at least 2 days, however. |

I really enjoyed the video, Tom! It's such a pleasure to watch you having fun together with your family.
Now, what does it take to make you produce a supplementary, low production cost video on BoVeX (full language description including its type system, semantics, lowering it down to the EL and the IL, and the register machine with its own primops), the boxes-and-glue algorithm, and the PDF generator?
We want to know everything, from how you compile mutually-recursive polymorphic functions through how you traverse the rephrasing tree (any hope for A*?) to how you cope with the missing kerning pairs. What you've tried, what did work and what didn't, what unexpected problems arose, and what's your secret on maintaining sanity while writing a compiler in C++. |

I'm less excited about the video, because the articles in the robot dance proceedings appear to describe the project well enough. I'd be more happy if you made a source code release of BoVeX, especially of the parts that do not require an expensive video card with 128 GB of RAM. The "Coming soon" message currently at "http://tom7.org/bovex/" is teasing me a bit too much. |
