  Kenneth E. Iverson

Roger Hui has posted an autobiographical essay by Ken Iverson on the J
Wiki:

http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/Kenneth_E._Iverson

Ken and Donald McIntyre worked on what was to be
"The Story of APL & J" in 2004 through a series of
e-mail messages, with the last e-mail from Ken coming
in the morning of Saturday, 2004-10-16.
Now Donald feels that he is unable to continue work on
"The Story of APL & J" due to his poor health .
What remains is an autobiographical sketch of Ken.
Donald emphasizes that the text is in Ken's own words.

MTV 3. 07.06.2008. "Norjassa tuulivoima myötätuulessa. Norjan
energiatarpeista PUOLET voidaan kattaa tuulivoimalla, kun nykysuunnitelmat
toteutetaan! Kaiken kaikkiaan 130 tuulivoimalapuistohanketta on haettu
rakennuslupaa Norjan energiavirastolta. Jos kaikille halukkaille myönnetään
lupa energiantuotanto kasvaisi 56 terawatttitunnilla, mikä on noin puolet
maan nykytuotannosta. Näiden lisäksi 19 tuulihanketta on saanut
rakennusluvan, mutta rakentamista ei ole vielä alettu."

*Niin.. ..MYKISTÄVÄÄ! .. On jo päivän selvää, että Tanskan ja Saksan
uskaliaat uudisenergiairtiotot ovat saamassa arvoisensa triumfin. Maailman
energiajätit alkavat kääntyä ennennäkemättömän massiivisesti...

  Britsh APL Association Announcement         


Author: paulg
Date: Jun 25, 2008 10:48

Changes at the British APL Association

At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 19 January 2008 at the
BCS headquarters in London the result of the vote on the resolution to
end our affiliation to the British Computer Society was announced. The
votes were cast 184 in favour, and 1 against. The resolution was
therefore passed.

The Annual General Meeting that followed was held under the amended
regulations which will be posted in Vector 23.4.

In accordance with the resolution:

1) I shall write to BCS notifying them of the change and thanking them
for their administrative help over the years.

2) Our Treasurer will open a new bank account for BAA and request
repayment of our funds from BCS.

You might be aware BCS claims ownership of our funds. I am pleased to
say Richard Nabavi is assisting me in negotiating their return. Your
committee has fair hopes of success; it also has plans for carrying on
without them.

Nettimaailma on siitä lystikäs kiulu, että jostain kumman syystä sinne
kirjoitelleille muodostuu illuusio siitä,että ikäänkuin identtiteetti olisi
täällä jollain mystisellä tasvalla suojassa. Väärä luulo. Linjojen
pitäjillä/SUPO:lla kun on lakimääre tunnistaa KAIKKI kirjoittajanimet, koska
netti rinnastetaan juridiesti lehtikirjoituksiin. Yhtä kaikki tuli tuosta
nimimerkki kampamaneeti alias Ilkka Karailan, eli tutummin IK:n
kirjoituksista mieleeni esitellä ihan vaan lystänä pintaraapaisuna joitain
täällä kirjoittavia aavistuksen syvemmältä. Huomaa en tässä nyt keskity
tyhjänpäiväisiin elektroniikkanettinsinööristön mitä lie "FK" tyyppisiin
ketään kiinnostamattomiin. Vaan ihan lihaa ja verta oleviin inehmoihin.
Aivan siis hiillostavan hempeä pintaraapaisu toki.

Nimimerkki Nano ihmetteli, että miksi netti oli muuttunut
rekrytointi-ilmoitussetiksi hänen poissa ollessaan? Oikein hyvä kysymys,
mutta tutkaillan ine. Esimerkiksi tosiaan tämä kampamaneetti = IK.=Ilkka...

  APL Program Code Metrics         


Author: Ibeam2000
Date: Jun 11, 2008 05:48

Recently, one of my clients started using Visual Studio 2008, and one
of the new features is something called Code Metrics. In short, this
feature generates a statistic, a "maintainability index" (MI) for
every program.

The formula is something like

MI := 171
- (5.2 * ln(halstead volume))
- (0.23 * cyclical complexity)
- (16.2 * ln(lines of code))

This looks as if it would work for APL code with control structures.
(Cyclical complexity is basically a depth count of nested loops, if
statements, case statements, and so on) (How would one do this
meaningfully for legacy branching?)

Has anyone ever done anything like this for APL functions?
