I have been working on a tutorial for working with trees, aimed at late-beginner/early-intermediate APLers. hopefully some people here find it helpful! constructive feedback is also appreciated
@RubenVerg Yes.

@asherbhs A great resource, neatly explained. Does this representation extend to graphs?
14:33
is there a library function for doing eigenvalues and eigenvectors?
14:54
@xpqz Thank you! You can kind of use this representation for graphs. You'd have to store a vector of 'parents' for each node, at which point you have a kind of backwards adjacency list. If I have the opportunity I'd like to make a similar resource for graphs as well :)
15:46
@Adám to not have to bother you everytime i publish a post, can i make prs to the apl.news repo? i guess that's just bothering you in a different way though(:
@RubenVerg (and as per above don't really want to bother you with this but could you add ^?)
15:58
@RubenVerg Yes you can pr, which did save me work. Just edit index.html and run the repo.
16:09
@asherbhs A graph library like Python's NetworkX (networkx.org) but with array powers would be very useful. If you have spare time :)

i get libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) everytime i start dyalog, also crashes when i run Run from apl.news, idk if they're related
i'll try on the other machine
no, crash on Windows too
both 19.0 and 18.2
...nevermind
it just does ⎕off so it looks like it didn't work
there, made a pr
16:55
what's the intended way to call it where ⎕off makes sense?
17:44
@xpqz I've thought quite a lot in the past about making something like this. I think sparse matrices may be the path forward with it, that way we could keep some of elegance of the transitive closure idiom ((∨.∧⍨∨⊢)⍣≡) and algorithms like it, without the quadratic complexity
18:02
@RubenVerg Not sure what you're asking, but from Windows, simply right click on it in the folder and choose Run with Dyalog. On other platforms, do dyalog LOAD=path/to/apl.news
18:44
ah, i ran it with ]link.create, so it seemed weird that it quit and it looked like it crashed, if it was intended to run standalone it makes more sense
