This week was mostly spent in readings and stuff. I also was stuck with flu for the later half so wasn't able to do anything else.

1 Problems/Solutions

2 Readings/Explorations

Read up a few introductory documents on Ontologies.
I am trying to understand learnable parsing so took up Combinatory Categorial Grammar (steedman1996very)
How NOT to evaluate your dialog system (liu2016not)
Strange loop 2018 had few interesting ideas. I liked hackett. This makes me wonder what exactly typed racket doing? Definitely something simpler.
Got to use lparallel. Working with single threading for so long almost had me squeal at this.
Also used construct which is a composable way for going back and forth from bytes to python objects.
Finally read up on functional package management and tried guix. Needs a little momentum but looks really promising. I am specially interested in things like guix environment and dependencies which go cross distro painlessly (though these are not the direct output, they are nice side effects).

Added a few new features/syntaxes in pigeon. Will abuse reader macros for some time now.
A few other pieces I don't have logs of. Will be putting the commit visualizer here from next week onwards.
