Show HN: First Working Interpreter Hello everyone! I'm an undergrad in computer science in my last semester. I've tried my hand at a few interpreters the past year. This is my first one that I've actually got set up, with a working lexer and execution tactics. I've implemented the input and output prefixing primitives of the pi calculus. I intended to implement the replication and restriction primitives soon. I find process algebras very interesting. They seem to be an important area of research, to bring the computing ecosystem to a concurrent-first paradigm. This github project isn't much to look at currently; it's my first project of any substance. However, you might find the linked research papers interesting! Feel free to share criticisms, insights, or your favorite process algebra! https://ift.tt/akT1Vun October 16, 2022 at 10:59AM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
