loke: I read a paper a while back where the math was so horrific that I thought the paper has to be wrong some where. It was my working to see if it was wrong.

loke: I usually just step through each line and look at the expressions that are printed.

pillton: Copy&paste is kinda broken (i.e. nonexistent) in CLIM at the moment, so it's hard to test that :-)

loke: I usually do M-x imaxima and then press C-c C-c on each line to see its output.

I think imaxima uses TeX to render math. Texput tells maxima how to output certain expressions as TeX.

To the author's credit, the paper wasn't wrong. I am convinced they used something like Maxima to do the derivations though.

loke: Have you told Raymond Toy about your work? He is a maintainer for CMUCL and contributes to Maxima.

When constructing panes inside a frame using define-application-frame, how can I say that I want the left pane to have a width of N and the right frame to have the width of M?

Or you can do (horizontally () (scrolling (:width ..) app1) (scrolling (:width ...) app2))

loke: I have been busy all day. Unfortunately for reasons beyond my control, I was also disconnected, so I can't read the scrollbacks. I could use Shinmera's log, but I really don't like the interface. So if you told me something important during my absense, you may have to repeat it.

loke: Are semaphores still used for synchronization, or have they been replaced by something like condition variables?
