@cc-wr Thank you Chris. Much appreciated that you participate in this forum and shared your WTC presentation. I really look forward to the possibility of creating standalone applications.
@user13892 Unfortunately not, most presenters do not make available their slides to the public. Wolfram Reasearch typically makes the videos available at the Wolfram Screen casts website, with a delay of a month or 6 weeks. In recent years they published WTC sessions on Youtube a bit earlier.
@Nasser According to this WTC 2022 Page today a presentation "Deploying Standalone Wolfram Language Applications" was given by Chris Cooley. Maybe in a month or two a video will reveal a little bit more about this stuff.
@ChrisK Interesting Topics in Wolfram Technology Conference keynote as always, e.g. about Standalone Application Bundling with Wolfram Engine from 2:04:10 to 2:06:00. This Bundler is supposed to come out in a few months and will result in only 160 MB for command line applications. Really? I believe it when I see it...
@fred85 No, unfortunately not. Some presenters like John Fultz make them available (via QR-Code at the last page of the presentation) but it’s not universal.
The presentations of the (virtual) WTC2021 are now on [Wolfram's webcast website] (wolfram.com/broadcast/c?c=104). About 100 sessions, including stuff for V13.
@anhnha Your original approach does not work since your second argument will evaluate as a multiplication of a Blank (_) and the List[0,0,0,__]. See FullForm[_{0, 0, 0, __}]. This happens before DeleteCases gets evaluated. The resulting pattern is not found so DeleteCases gives you back your original list.
@anhnha just remove the single Blank (_) in the second argument. Like `DeleteCases[{{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, -1}, {1, 0, 0, 1, 1, -1}}, {0, 0, 0, __}]` which leads to `{{1, 0, 0, 1, 1, -1}}`.
@halirutan Ah, ok. My last contact was 2008 to get one of his students for a research project in industry. I also liked his style and sovereignty in theoretical matters. I am tempted to point Stephen/Roman to him or vice versa. Who knows, maybe it helps on Wolfram’s quest to find the „world formula“ (fundamental theory of physics)...
I know that Prof. Waldmann works at Leipzigs HTWK. Do you have contact to him still? As far as I understood Roman was tasked by Stephen to mail him and investigate further.
@halirutan Since the beginning of this year I find the CEOing and Physics sessions about combinators the most interesting/entertaining… In the Physics session episode Tuesday 20th 2020 S.W., Roman Maeder and others at 1:16:04 are digging to get Prof. J. Waldmann RX program (via wayback machine) to get some insight into S-Terms decidability.
Lots of videos on Wolfram's Twitch channel recently, but today I discovered that finally Wolfram also released over 100 screencasts from this years WTC in Champain here.
@b3m2a1You're referring to the Stephen_Wolfram's Twitch video RSS: Live CEOing (208): Standalone Applications in #WolfLang? I heard the phrase freeWolframEngine too. From the state of discussions I suppose that they still need a couple of months for a regular release of V12. Let's see whether a deployable WolframScript/WolframEngine is part of that schedule.
@P.Fonseca: That's Correct, J/Link seems the most obvious one. I still wonder why they bundle WolframScript with the CDFPlayer given the fact that it runs out-of-the-box.
@P.Fonseca regarding free WolframScript: it is already here. Since CDF Player 11.2 WRI is shipping WolframScript along with this product. You can actually invoke the Kernel if you run it e.g. in Windows cmd shell: Just go to the directory of CDFPlayer .\wolframscript -local ".\wolfram.exe" -code "While[True, Print@Input[]]". :-)
As @b3m2a1 I do not get the technical complaints of P. Romer regarding the static publication via PDF. I'm trying to not get too upset about it. It's quite bitter that some folks can't even appreciate the WL as it is and just like MMA output and number of integrals MMA can solve.
@P.Fonseca @P.Fonseca Yeah, very interesting. It didn't take long for a reaction to The Atlantic article with a special spin on the social aspects between the development and usage of the two systems Mathematica and Jupyter. Discussion continues also under the YCombinator.
@Reb.Cabin regarding type-checking WRI works on a type system in conjunction with the new Wolfram compiler effort. See this talk of the Wolfram Technology Conference 2017. The fist half of the talk is spent on the Type Framework, which is based on Hindley-Milner, and things like type inference. But I am not sure what you exactly have in mind if you say THINK-BIG....?
The presentations of the WTC2017 are now on the website: link text. In addition the Keynote video by Stephen Wolfram is also online on the [link text] (wolfram.com/broadcast/video.php?c=104&v=1865 "screen cast site"). Interesting in the Part 2 of the keynote at 56:39 the little 3 minute demo on the new LLVM compiler for WL.
@andre too early, I guess. The WTC 2017 starts next week. Typically the videos are available a couple of weeks later. I suppose we won`t see anything until End of November.
Why is the XML converter process of Mathematica (XML.exe), which is launched when one imports a XML file, a 32-bit process even on a 64-bit Mathematica System of Microsoft Windows 7. It seems that XML.exe references a 32-bit mathlink library. I have checked it with version 11.1 and 10.4, both 64-bit versions. My problem is to import a big XML file (1.6GByte) and after one minute XML.exe will be terminated (with a little dialog box).
Its been exactly 4 years now, on Feb 17th 2012, when Theodore Gray blogged on Wolfram Blog about CDF on iPad and a little teaser movie showed that there was a working version of CDF Player/Mathematica on iOS. Clearly WRI gave the Cloud a higher priority... On WTC 2015 a talk was given about "mobile deployments" of WL on iOS and the presenter assured that the iOS CDF Player is real and will possibly be available in late 2015.
Go to jacquard.codeplex.com for the sources. The video with Brian Beckman was published on Youtube 2013, a conference in Australia. The open sourcing happened early last year. I am a bit tempted to add it to the SE question about open source MMA implementations but I am not sure about if it's worth.
Ok, so it is written in JavaScript and supposed to run in node.js. It has not many Built-in symbols (around 100) integrated just enough for term rewriting. In this regard Mathics or others are more complete/less restricted. But the fact that someone from Microsoft had spend an effort on this and convinced the mngmt to open source this makes me smile.
Dear mma stack exchangers. I do not know if this came to your attention or anyone here might be interested in, but it happens to be that big Microsoft has open sourced a Mathematica evaluator in its codeplex site. It is named "Jacquard" and so far virtually nobody really noticed it. I came across this after watching a youtube video named "Term-rewriting in JavaScript for Fun and World domination" starring Brian Beckman from then Microsoft, now Amazon.
@Szabolcs As far as I only know the new compiler will replace the old one (MVM) because its too weak and limited. The new compiler will have to ability to compile MExpr and will support some sort of extended "Type System". LLVMLink is the integration to make this happen. How this will be used in the end by the user (the necessary pipeline or workflow) is not clear to me, yet.
With great interest I watched recently the WTC2015 presentation given by Tom Wickham-Jones about "Compilation Technology" of Mathematica. Link: http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/542887461_200x150.jpg?r=pad
I wonder if this new MMA compiler - which is based on LLVM/IR - is just the new generation which is faster and can compile more built-in functions (e.g. not only numerical/tensor but also strings and perhaps associations) or if it will be an easier path to generate executables/libraries for a deployment into other tools. I know that this stuff compiled functions need to be independent from the…
@IstvánZachar Yes confirmed: I place the cursor on the graph to see a tooltip "Double-click to edit. CTRL-d for drawing tools". After pressing ALT-F4 I can see the Tooltip message "Tick specification must be a list or function." That message appears twice in the tooltip.
@IstvánZachar In a fresh Session in 10.3 (Win 7, 64-bit) I can observe the pink rectangle behind the SaveDialog when closing the window. The cursor btw. is spinning so no tooltip on mouse over. It looks like a bug, even when the I cancel the SaveDialog, the frontend window (e.g. Resizing) feels choppy.
@IstvánZachar Your Welcome. I noticed that RunProcess, Import["!command..."] and the like need a SetDirectory[] before working correctly. A bit strange.
