> Steve Roe was inspired by a fascinating discussion on the #raku-beginner IRC channel about the concept of the maximum and minimum possible values of empty lists, and why the Raku Programming Language handles them the way they are handled.
> May 22 is the last day to apply for the upcoming HackCodeX hackathon, which will take place June 3-5 and is being run by Helve.
> To effectively extract insights and communicate findings, you need powerful tools that simplify the process and present data in an engaging manner.
> quantmod and getSymbols() have been a core part of the R/Finance ecosystem for over 15 years. We want to change some things, but they would break existing code. We can make these changes in the new ‘rfimport’ package instead.
> After finishing up my first Igalia Coding Experience in January, I got the amazing opportunity to keep working in the DRI community by extending my Igalia CE to a second round. Huge thanks to Igalia for providing me with this opportunity!
> Another four months passed by and here I am completing another milestone with Igalia. Previously, in the last final reports, I described GSoC as “an experience to get a better understanding of what open source is” and the first round of the Igalia CE as “an opportunity for me to mature my knowledge of technical concepts”. My second round of the Igalia CE was a period for broadening my horizons.
> If you want a book on network programming, there are a few classic choices. [Comer’s] TCP/IP books are a great reference but sometimes is too low level. “Unix Networking Programming” by [Stevens] is the usual choice, but it is getting a little long in the tooth, as well. Now we have “Beej’s Guide to Network Programming Using Internet Sockets.” While the title doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, the content is right on and fresh. Best part? You can read it now in your browser or in PDF format.
> We’ve seen some pretty incredible hacks using the Raspberry Pi 2040. However, one of the most exciting bits of hardware onboard is the Programmable I/O (PIO). Not content with it just being a part of RP2040-based projects, [Lawrie Griffiths] has been porting the PIO to Verilog so anyone can enjoy it.
