Pursuant to my personal goal of embedding R source code in an org-mode file -- trivial cases at first -- then implementing parts of Seracs R code published via the Coding thread I'm starting off by launching emacs via shell commands basic enough to work with sh, dash, bash, csh, zsh, and...

Found myself wondering whether something like unixoid shell -- as contrasted with unixoid `eshell' available within emacs -- ${} expressions can be embedded within `echo' command expressions a few nights ago after composing a command line to accompany my allusion to a line from the Wizard of Oz...

Put down? Are you attempting to `put down' my attempt to broaden or `put in another' PERSPECTIVE? As if it's not part and parcel with The Human Condition? Are we really all this Thin Skinned? Skinart and I -- in other groups -- have spoken of, and in his case `provided PICTURES of'...

Which `season' is that? I try to SURVIVE `the holidays'. My local library shuts down for the week between Christmas and Newyears, so THAT venue disappears until after the madness ends. I'll probably play some chess with a friend, eat some left overs, visit a woman friend who does wildlife...

Indeed. Though `pretty' confusing. Gender confused, politically confused, socially migratory and labile. About anything I care to project onto It's FLOW ...`Thee Flow'. I put obstacles in It's stream of consciousness and IT just takes-in-stride these stepping stones favoring pretentious...

Singly-linked lists of cons cells are readily communicated pictorially FIRST before introducing neophytes to `cons', `as the fundamental composition/synthesis function and car'[, and `cdr' as corresponding analytical/decomposition functions https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cons+cell+diagrams The...

So may we assume that the `reading' you were doing did not require subvocalization or the sounding-out of the characters in your dreams? If so then you might as well have been `reading' Mongolian ... right? What I totally LOVE about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logogram shared by the...

Your recommendation might not be lost on Serac as he commented on possibly learning lisp over in the Coding Thread. https://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=26889 Though in his case, as an R programmer, you might help break down resistance to experimentation more by reminding him that R is...

I've brought up the same issue with discussions also involving AK -- Animekitty -- in which I've ridiculed all but instantaneous intelligence, artistry, and creativity applied towards real world circumstances. Serac has also eschewed and disparaged IQ. Rather than debate the subject as if...

Well, not genders so much as individuals ... and not any longer. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/02/how-three-people-can-make-a-baby/385126/ Though I'm aware of the terms bio-mommie and bio-daddy used to decouple the NATURal influences of DNA from the paternal and maternal...

Though you're aware of my experiences with training CNC repair people, awareness of CAD DNC, and such from our participation on 99problem's thread on `College Algebra' in that `other group' perhaps the domain most analogically useful for folks here is the multitasking and multi-threading of...

Well said, Hephy!

A lighter note? I `compelled' you to report something or other? Really? Have a nice life.

I can start off with the location-location-location metaphor implied by `anyWHERE else you go'. Though we suffer like bookstores that punted to Amazon when they dug in their heels at malls which failed and went bankrupt as Amazon thrived and took their business. We are NOT at a physically...

You and me too. The full editor stopped allowing me to post ANYTHING for week or more. I was left passively reading what those remaining had posted. I happened across a post by Jennywocky in which she told one and all how the CP could be used to select a lower functioning editor. I tried it...

I knew it. I cared about Thevinin, hermione, 99problems and some of those still there -- despite the trashed group dynamic -- as I had meaningful interaction with THEM. Had I contact information to reach THEM and a watering hole around which we could interact that would be WONDERFUL. It was...

Has any one HERE and presently participating ever tried other forum software enough to form comparisons? I used Diaspora a few years ago -- not that I'm advocating either `going there', moving content there; I"M NOT -- and found the use of #hashTags BETTER than threads with posts mono-posted...

Ptah I know this will be impossible for you to grasp, so I'm saying it in front of those who your cronies with madmin privileges in another group can't presently prevent me. IT'S not about YOU, you flaming self-centered all-important `deity'.! There's not enough time in my day to squander on...

FYP! Atta boy! I knew we could goad you into it. You're off and running. :)

A voice of wisdom if ever there was. I hope you all enjoy all the scripts our boy presents in code blocks here in his thread. As if from a scriping perspective it makes one scintilla of difference whether they run on mint or Ubuntu ... or MacOS, BSD, cygwin, Open Solaris ... ANYWHERE GNU...

You'll be the judge of whether I'm done or not. While acting-as-if ... what? What does your behavior TELL others you ostensibly want to futher your understanding and know-how regarding scripting and GNU/linux? You used sloppy language reflecting sloppy thinking before god and everyone...

There you go eshewing, via the imperitive paradigm, `logic' as if an INTP `most logical of types'. Let me translate your bullshit for you. Clober refined, detailed inTRApersonal mental deep-structural-SEMANTIC model with stinkin' thinkin'' induced by the misuse of slopy unreconciled...

Many agree that negligence on the part of Dr. Haight entailed or required that you and yours steal nothing. Opportunity knocked. Misery created a niche for a new provider in the INTP social networking market. Now you and your cronies have madmin privileges at INTPcomplex instead of...

. Yeah ... right.:confused: Ben: https://tinyurl.com/ycm7fl6k Jordan: https://tinyurl.com/kd9swkl Sam: https://preview.tinyurl.com/ybypvpkm Though I replaced all the youtube links with tinyurl links I suspect that other url shorteners might work too ... and perhaps url...

Programmable bricks rock ... in theory. https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/programmable-command-blocks-pcb Though I've been interested by both Minecraft and Gary's mod -- as a game with a physics engine -- neither one sufficiently enough transcend my interia of daily habitual rituals...

Linux users? Really? So we're allowing all users of the Linux kernel to join in? All users of embedded systems using a linux kernel ... cars, toaster ovens? All Android users whether they use the non-linux stuff wrapped around the linux kernel? I suspect that you'd get more of what you...

It's clear that you don't yet grasp the significance of TIMING, as in Kairos Time. Understanding Action potentials and timing are crucial in understanding the phenomenon known as `stuttering' If you'd like to model such phenomena i recommend building a multivibrator with transistors then...

This is almost a replica of an example provided by a friend and room mate in college for the absurdity of statistical averages/norms/means over outliers in the WHOLE distribution: "Every day when I get home, my feet are killing me. So I fill one pail with scalding hot water and another...

And good for them! When the religous nut jobs came to the Americas they were real big at imposing THEIR rituals and WorldView on those whose land they usurped WHILE whiping out the rituals and WorldView of their betters as if inferiors. To get back to language, Robert Persig attributed the...

To focus on OCD, rather than OCPD or even G.A.D -- General Anxiety Disorder -- seems too narrow a focus. My ODPD symptoms -- when I experientially-manifest them -- are HIGHLY correlated with Anxiety/ Stress. And there is a HUGE difference between OCD and OCPD, in thatOCD seems based more on...

Yeah, me too. Had I not moved from Lily to the next-younger generation Huxley might have come to mind. The band `The Doors' took their name from The Doors of Perception. Before moving away from the subject of GOOD books I enjoyed Lilly's...

RAW has spoken on E-Prime. I've watched quite a few of his videos. If memory serves he knew a thing or two about NLP -- neuro linguistic programming. He was quite the LSD enthusiast as well. I think of him with the same regard as John Lilly and Terrance McKenna. A lot of those...

Damn! A near miss. I had read a wikipedia page 5 to 10 years ago which claimed that there were no nouns in Cayuga ... only descriptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayuga_language I became fascinated that a culture could develop without falling into the tar pit of reification and...

Sounds like a floating ground problem. In classical mechanics you need to pick an inertial frame which acts as a datum. In mathematics perfect Zen zero is used as a datum, a reference, a ground off which all values on a number line are leveraged. In electronics and electrical engineering one...

Thanks for the code! I've been wrestling with recovering from a WinBlows virus, re-installation, creation of a Multiboot USB pendrive, Linux Mint, trying to post to this group to no avail until receiving a clue from Jennywocky ... experimenting with embedding R source code in an org-mode file...

{ apologies: I tried sending this reply a week ago but was unable to post, though saved my content. Upon reading something @Jennywocky posted I used the CP to change my default editor from WYSIWYG to `standard editor' ... and this seemed to break the obstacle preventing me from posting. I'm...

Well said. And `intelligence' can manifest in ways other than fairly-passive READING. Some apply intelligence by ACTIVELY plotting their own paths rather than slavishly following the narrative or organization structure of another as with books. Engineering new inventions, artistically creating...

Oh? Because you SAY SO? Or do you have references for those providing the damning `evidence'? I wasn't speaking about creativity. I was addressing you're likening of the brain -- the WHOLE BRAIN -- to an enherently sequential, although perhaps multi-threading, JVM. There you go employing...

As if `the brain' were only a sequence-oriented left hemisphere? Those with dominant right hemispheres may employ massively parallel processing for visual processing independent of sequential streams of words and syllables. Folks having had their left hemispheres excised for any number or...

And then there are the cases where intelligent people `read' no books at all as they `read' blue prints, flow charts, source code, web pages, etc. Ink-on-paper `Books' are the new stone tablets and papyrus scrolls.

For the `other language' used as follows a sentence begins with `(' rather than a capital letter. the sentence ends with `)' As per VSO and VO languages the first symbol in the sentence is a verb A comment symbol is `;' and allows all English words to follow to be used for explanations ...

Good one! As if? As if a gradient of goals could be winnowed down to shared goals ... goals one and all could agree upon ... and as if they/we could AGREE on which PROCESSES, which rituals could or would be employed pursuant to furthering these goals? A prevailing goal is "I MUST be the alpha...

Got it! The temporal scope of ASAP has undoubtedly lapsed. So my replies are for OTHERS who experience a similar-enough quandary. I could imagine someone in the early days of computing experiencing this problem, but not NOW. There are so many other-created apps and programs that one routinely...

Still keeping that Q quotient? Got a problem with Instantaneous Intelligence as brought to bear on some Real World setting, scenario, or `problem'? Basis or bases, plural? You mention several bases ... or are these several allusions to the same suchness? Whereas your disclosure/revelation...

He's some dickweed that showed up lusting after Jennywocky and -- in a fit of self-consciousnesses realized that his shortcomings, once again, would be his undoing -- redirected and rechannelized his Freudian-IDacious energies into generating streams of blather which limited-lexicon...

These stats seem to produce something akin to a topo map as contrasted with a geological survey which addresses what's beneath the surface. Chomsky's distinction between surface structure and deep structure is at issue. A poet would use fewer words -- and perhaps even common, non-exotic ones --...

As a `logical' INTP -- or NT/Rational, for that matter -- how logical SEEMS one's behavior if it ONLY accomplishes one or a few objectives when MORE objectives COULD HAVE been furthered or accomplished outright? Our friend, BurnedOut seems to have glommed onto bash as his scripting language of...

No takers? javascript:6/2*(1+2) javascript:(6/2)*(1+2) Here's the variant where division is replaced with a reciprocal which can be commuted along with other multiplied factors: javascript:6*(1/2)*(1+2) Now we can commute any/all of our 3 terms as per whim: javascript:(1/2)*(1+2)*6...

I suppose one of the first community-minded features of shell scripting entails a means of creating a transaction record of one's shell script session pursuant to sharing it with others ... if not furthering the implicate motivation of re-using it with/on/for oneself as well. Fortunately...

In response to BurnedOut's -- as a self-professed `smart ass' -- expressed revelation of `interest' -- however ADD-fleeting in it's experience and expression -- in Scripting, perhaps bash scripting in particular -- I've opted to spin-off a thread ostensibly `about' scripting qua `scripting'...
