Units of Measure for Real

I’m almost done with my thesis now, as you might have noticed it’s about a Units of Measure system in Scala. I will do a more detailed post on it sometime in the future, but I figured I might at least release the pdf of the thesis now. So here it is!

Units of Measure - a Scala Macro System

I finally finished my Units of Measure system for Scala. The source is - of course - on GitHub, and I’m putting the finishing touches on my thesis about it, but for a quick view please refer to this presentation:

Fleeting Thoughts

Often I wish for a way to instantly capture my thoughts at any given moment so I can pursue them later on, when I have more time on my hands. Just now, I realized that wouldn’t actually work as intended: My whole state of mind would be different then, so the thoughts would play out differently, I’d come to different come conclusions.

This presents me with a conundrum: Sometimes, there are too many interesting thoughts to pursue all of them. How do I pick? Do I try to recapture those that I didn’t pick at a later time?
