sbcl: list all valid character encodings - encoding

To get the list of all valid encodings for sbcl, I do this:
(let (encoding-list)
(let (symbol-list)
(do-external-symbols (s :keyword)
(push s symbol-list))
(setf symbol-list (sort symbol-list #'string<))
(mapc (lambda (x)
(when (ignore-errors
(with-open-file
(phyle "scratch1"
:direction :output
:if-exists :supersede
:external-format x)
1)) ; <-- produce something non-NIL
(push x encoding-list)))
symbol-list))
(nreverse encoding-list))
Is there an easier way to do this in sbcl? (For example, in clisp, all the encodings are external symbols in the CHARSET package.)


The only "official" list is in the manual. If you don't mind looking into SBCLs internals, external formats are stored in a hash table, SB-IMPL::*EXTERNAL-FORMATS*.

emacs: slime-repl hang if using read() or read-line() function

I am using Emacs 24.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04, slime-20160402.549, GNU CLISP 2.4. Whenever i use read() or read-line() function in slime-repl, it will freeze after one or two input characters (e.g. "wa"),

Charting the value of Datomic facts over time

Since Datomic stores assertions and retractions of facts, is it possible to use this built-in storage to chart changes to a value over time, e.g. a price history?

Yes. The command you want is datomic.api/history.
Called with a database value, it returns a special db featuring all datom additions and retractions.
(ns datomic-history-demo.core

not able to find package when running from SLIME, but from command line is ok

I'm running the teapot example from cl-opengl package. The only changes I've made are loading the required packages. It works fine when executed from unix shell (sbcl --load "3.cl"), but when I try to compile and load it through SLIME (C-c C-k) i get the error about package GLUT not found.
Curiously, the compiler chokes on the (defclass glut-teapot-window (glut:window).
What gives???

If you load the file, the Lisp system reads the file expression by expression and executes them after reading each single expression.
If you compile the file in a fresh Lisp, then it reads the expressions and compiles them. But it does not execute them. Thus it sees the quickload command, compiles it, but does not execute it. This OpenGL code is not loaded and the packages are not known to the compiler. But that makes sense: a compile usually should compile the file, not execute it. Lisp would execute the expressions then when you load the compiled fasl file.
There are two simple ways around it:
put the quickload operation in a separate file and compile/execute it before compiling the next file.
enclose the load operations in an EVAL-WHEN statement. (eval-when (:execute :load-toplevel :compile-toplevel) ... your code here ...).
The :compile-toplevel symbol means, that the code will be executed when the compiler sees it as a top-level form. Which it otherwise would not do. Thus you can have code in a file to compile which creates side effects - here loading other code.

Best way to read (MATLAB) structures from a text file in Clojure / Incanter

I exported my matlab structs to text files so that I can read them in clojure.
I have a text file like:
name
Ali
age
33
friends-ages
30
31
25
47
know I can read this file, but what's the clojure way to convert it into something like:
(def person1
{:name "Ali"
:age 33
:friends-ages [30 31 25 47]})
or lets make it easier:
name
Ali
age
33
to:
(def person1
{:name "Ali"
:age 33})

Assuming each file has a single record,
(defn parse [f]
(let [[_ name _ age _ & friends] (.split (slurp f) "\n")]
{:name name :age age :friends (map read-string friends)}))
(parse "../../../Desktop/t.txt")
you get,
{:name "Ali", :age "33", :friends-ages (30 31 25 47)}

I guess you would need to manually do this conversion from text file (which isn't in any standard serialization formats) to the required set format. If possible, I would suggest that you should extract the MATLAB data in JSON format and that would be easy to read in clojure using the json library.

Here's a solution for your easier problem:
(ns example
(:require [clojure.string :as str]))
(def input "name\nAli\nage\n33\n") ; you'd get this by reading the file
(defn process [data]
(->> (str/split data #"\n")
(partition 2)
(map (fn [[k v]]
[(keyword k)
(try
(Integer/valueOf v)
(catch NumberFormatException _
v))]))
(into {})))
(prn (process input))
The full problem requires better specification of the format: how do you know that the list of ages is done?

I ended up writing an .m file to export my .mat files to text, then imported them by something like the following:
(use '[clojure.string :only (split join)])
(defn kv [[k v]]
[(keyword k) v])
(let [a (split (slurp (java.io.FileReader. fileName)) #"\n")]
(def testNeuron (into {} (map kv (partition 2 a)))))
Thanks to the answers by Hamza and Jouni.
The actual code is more like this:
(def dataPath "/home/ali/Dropbox/Projects/Neurojure/")
(def testFileName "dae062.c1.cylinder.DID.txt")
(defn kv [[k v]]
[(keyword k)
(if (< 0 (count (re-seq #"\d\d\d\dSpikes|\d\d\d\dOcodes|\d\d\d\dOSpikes" k)))
(into [] (map (fn [x] (Integer/valueOf x)) (split v #",")))
(try (Integer/valueOf v)
(catch NumberFormatException _ v)))])
(let [a (split (slurp (java.io.FileReader. (str dataPath testFileName))) #"\n")]
(def testNeuron (into {} (map kv (partition 2 a)))))
and the converted data file looks like this:

Racket Server & PostgreSQL - BLOB upload/download without saving to memory or disk

I am trying to make a servlet for the Racket Web Server that would allow a user to upload pictures to the site and display the already uploaded files as images on the same page. I would like to stream the pictures directly in and out of a PostgreSQL database, rather than saving them to a temporary file on disk or in memory. Is it possible? If so, what is the best way to do it? Can it be done with a stateless servlet? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Should be. I recommend the db package from PLaneT (because I wrote it). You can read the docs online.
The PostgreSQL table should have a bytea field for the image contents; on the Racket side it will be represented as a byte string.
In your servlet, you should probably return a response/full structure with the image contents. You'll have to deal with the return code, MIME type, etc yourself. (See the example in the documentation.)

In the name of science, I am posting one half of the answer to my own question. This page will show images that are already in the database. The upload page is still an open question.
Ryan Culpepper helped me in private correspondence beyond of what is posted here. I thank him for his help. All things that may look like black magic come from him, and all clumsy goofs are mine. I will be grateful for all suggestions on how to improve the code.
#lang racket
#|
================================================================================================================
We are assuming that the PostgreSQL database we are connecting to
has a table "person" with columns
"id", "firstname", "lastname" and "portrait".
The "portrait" column contains the OID of a BLOB
that stores the image file we want to display.
Suppose further that the table "person" has a legitimate entry with
id=22, firstname="John", lastname="Doe"
Then the page
http://127.0.0.1/page/22
should display greetings "Hello, John Doe!"
and show the portrait of the person below the greeting.
The portrait itself should be at
http://127.0.0.1/portrait/22.jpg
The program should be run via Racket -t "<filename>"
after defining the environment variables
"DB_USER", "DB_NAME", "DB_PORT", "DB_PASSWORD".
