Common Lisp VS Racket. Feedback from (common) lispers.

Developer experience, libraries, performance… (2021/11)

I'll preface this with three things. 1. I prefer schemes over Common Lisps, and I prefer Racket of the Schemes. 2. There is more to it than the points I raise here. 3. I assume you have no previous experience with Lisp, and don't have a preference for Schemes over Common Lisp. With all that out of the way... I would say Common Lisp/SBCL. Let me explain

  1. SBCL Is by far the most common of the CL implementations in 2021. It will be the easiest to find help for, easiest to find videos about, and many major open source CL projects are written using SBCL
  2. Download a binary directly from the website http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html (even for M1 macs) to get up and running (easy to get started)
  3. Great video for setting up Emacs + Slime + Quick Lisp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnWVu8VVDbI

Now as to why Common Lisp over Scheme

Effective Modern CMake

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

This is a basic guide for building a program on the DE10 Nano SoC. This walks through using Quartus Prime, Qsys, and EDS from start to finish. The program counts up four LEDs on the HPS

I successfully created a project instantiating the HPS in Qsys. I added a parallel I/O in Qsys to allow the HPS to communicate with the LEDs via the HPS-to-FPGA lightweight bus. From there, I generated a preloader and U-boot along with the SOF file. I also wrote a simple C program that counts from 0-15 and sets the LEDs to that value every second. This encompasses about every step required to be able to communicate between the FPGA and HPS, so this is definitely a first step. I'm going to document what I did and how you guys can get this running.

I did this on Windows since that is my primary OS. Things are different on Linux, so you will have to figure them out if you try to do this on Linux.

File Structure

DE10NanoUART-FPGA

  • Project containing everything necessary to get exactly what I have running
  • HPS_FPGA_LED - Source code and makefile for the C program to blink LEDs
  • hps_isw_handoff - ISW stands for Initial SoftWare so it is the first thing to be ran AFTER the hardcoded bootrom is loa

How effectively delete a git submodule.

To remove a submodule you need to:

  • Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
  • Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
  • Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
  • Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
  • Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Remove metadata from a PDF file, using exiftool and qpdf. Note that embedded objects may still contain metadata.

Anonymising PDFs

PDF metadata

Metadata in PDF files can be stored in at least two places:

  • the Info Dictionary, a limited set of key/value pairs
  • XMP packets, which contain RDF statements expressed as XML
