RBerenguel

It's hard to explain what it is. Think personal knowledge manager text editor inspired by Acme. The readme and video there are very outdated, I add features faster than I update that (as the only user this is what I get). I post videos of new features on twitter though, as a reminder to myself of where I passed through

Edit and format? I don't remember getting any formatting or editing help from any research journal ever, aside from getting some LaTeX style file.

A web-based "note taking app with weird functionality I want, with a bit of an Acme feel" is the latest one (README severely outdated, but I post screenshots and screen captures of new features in Twitter to leave myself a track record to update it) https://github.com/rberenguel/weave

Somewhat earlier, expiring tabs for Chrome https://github.com/rberenguel/bestBefore

Most of my projects are in one way or another scratching my own itches.

This video constructs a GoL in APL (not one liner). It is quite understandable even if you don’t know APL (I had just started tinkering with APL when I first found it I think): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4

In case somebody is curious to see how it might look like.

I should probably brush it up and just upload it to Arxiv. But then I need ok from my advisor, and maybe she’d rather not (since she’d be a coauthor of that..). I’ll try again, thanks for the encouragement.

I did some research on this on the side for my dissertation, but never published it. The fact centers approximate the boundary generalises to almost any point in the plane as a consequence of normality of some sequences, and generalises to most families of complex iteration under very mild conditions. I’ve had a preprint that I never felt like finishing for something like 15 years lying around.

It’s definitely not ergonomic, but very portable. I have it as a backup pointer just in case.

The Wedge Touch Mouse, which has a weird wedge shape and runs out of a single AA battery also has touch sensitive (vertical only IIRC? haven’t used it in a while) scroll as far as I can tell.

I guess I could make the on-screen keyboard work with a text area instead of needing an external one, but I never planned on using that, I find “glass keyboards” annoying to use. It would require some serious changes to the system though, since everything is designed for reading input from a keyboard from “stdin”, so to say.

So far has survived fine, and as long as there are no major changes in the browser (long polling and the JS I use have been available for several years from what I have seen in people who investigated its features). It’s a risk I accepted when I wrote it, worst case the docs are in the Pi, and then PiWrite can be used from any web browser on any modern enough device.
