“Information theory” might be a misnomer.

Why?

Hint: the title of this post, and of the paper, uses communication instead of information.

Aaah. That’sa good point. Hehe :) but I mean he does really delve into information in his exposition. Very clear.

Tho I’m intrigued by the idea that there’s more to information than Shannon. Any additional hints??

I’ve often thought about a dual metric with entropy called ‘organization’ that doesn’t Measure disorder/surprise, but measures structure, Coherence. But I don’t think it’s exactly a dual.

It seems that it does not support Windows natively, instead it has to be run inside Cygwin for now?

Not directly (or at least not yet), although Cosmopolitan already supports Windows natively; blink extends this support for Cosmopolitan and other x86-64-linux binaries to more platforms.

In other words, you can build a cosmopolitan executable (that runs on Linux, Windows, and other platforms) and extend it with blink, allowing the same binary to also run on those platforms that blink emulates.

For non-comsmopolitan binaries it needs a posix-compliant host (hence cigwin, but not Windows in general).

Correct-- Blink needs a (reasonably) POSIX-compliant system to compile and run, so it should work on Linux or BSD or macOS, but needs Cygwin on Windows.

It'll likely run on top of wsl

Are there some other languages support something like condition system in Common Lisp?

Dylan! (Which is commonly called a Lisp dialect due to its internal structure, even though it lacks homoiconicity.) See https://opendylan.org/documentation/intro-dylan/conditions.h...

There are implementations of condition systems as libraries, too. Copying links from my book:

* Python: https://github.com/svetlyak40wt/python-cl-conditions

* Clojure: https://github.com/clojureman/special

* Ruby: https://github.com/michaeljbishop/mulligan

* Perl: https://metacpan.org/release/Worlogog-Incident, https://metacpan.org/release/Worlogog-Restart

Wow!! Great! Then I must read your book:).

Hope that you enjoy the read!

It seems that vertical lines can only be erased when mouse moves vertically or almost vertically while holding shift.

Is it feasible to run cuda dependent code using WSL and this X Server?

your argument about code navigation in emacs is inaccurate, though "M-x rgrep" is used heavily. at least there are gtags. and now there is auto-complete. For C/C++/Obj-C, clang+auto-complete stand there.
