-= Awk snippet: send email to multiple recipients with cURL
-
-:neomutt: https://neomutt.org/
-:found-out-article: https://blog.edmdesigner.com/send-email-from-linux-command-line/
-:curl: https://curl.se/
-
-As I experiment with {neomutt}[Neomutt], I wanted to keep being able to enqueue
-emails for sending later like my previous setup, so that I didn't rely on having
-an internet connection.
-
-My requirements for the `sendmail` command were:
-
-. store the email in a file, and send it later;
-. send from different addresses, using different SMTP servers.
-
-I couldn't find an MTA that could accomplish that, but I was able to quickly
-write a solution.
-
-The first part was the easiest: store the email in a file:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-# ~/.config/mutt/muttrc:
-set sendmail=~/bin/enqueue-email.sh
-
-# ~/bin/enqueue-email.sh:
-#!/bin/sh -eu
-
-cat - > "$HOME/mbsync/my-queued-emails/$(date -Is)"
-----
-
-Now that I had the email file store locally, I needed a program to send the
-email from the file, so that I could create a cronjob like:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-for f in ~/mbsync/my-queued-emails/*; do
- ~/bin/dispatch-email.sh "$f" && rm "$f"
-done
-----
-
-The `dispatch-email.sh` would have to look at the `From:` header and decide
-which SMTP server to use. As I {found-out-article}[found out] that {curl}[curl]
-supports SMTP and is able to send emails, this is what I ended up with:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-#!/bin/sh -eu
-
-F="$1"
-
-rcpt="$(awk '
- match($0, /^(To|Cc|Bcc): (.*)$/, m) {
- split(m[2], tos, ",")
- for (i in tos) {
- print "--mail-rcpt " tos[i]
- }
- }
-' "$F")"
-
-if grep -qE '^From: .*<addr@server1\.org>$' "$F"; then
- curl \
- -s \
- --url smtp://smtp.server1.org:587 \
- --ssl-reqd \
- --mail-from addr@server1.org \
- $rcpt \
- --user 'addr@server1.org:my-long-and-secure-passphrase' \
- --upload-file "$F"
-elif grep -qE '^From: .*<addr@server2\.org>$' "$F"; then
- curl \
- -s \
- --url smtp://smtp.server2.org:587 \
- --ssl-reqd \
- --mail-from addr@server2.org \
- $rcpt \
- --user 'addr@server2.org:my-long-and-secure-passphrase' \
- --upload-file "$F"
-else
- echo 'Bad "From: " address'
- exit 1
-fi
-----
-
-Most of curl flags used are self-explanatory, except for `$rcpt`.
-
-curl connects to the SMTP server, but doesn't set the recipient address by
-looking at the message. My solution was to generate the curl flags, store them
-in `$rcpt` and use it unquoted to leverage shell word splitting.
-
-To me, the most interesting part was building the `$rcpt` flags. My first
-instinct was to try grep, but it couldn't print only matches in a regex. As I
-started to turn towards sed, I envisioned needing something else to loop over
-the sed output, and I then moved to Awk.
-
-In the short Awk snippet, 3 things were new to me: the `match(...)`,
-`split(...)` and `for () {}`. The only other function I have ever used was
-`gsub(...)`, but these new ones felt similar enough that I could almost guess
-their behaviour and arguments. `match(...)` stores the matches of a regex on
-the given array positionally, and `split(...)` stores the chunks in the given
-array.
-
-I even did it incrementally:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-$ H='To: to@example.com, to2@example.com\nCc: cc@example.com, cc2@example.com\nBcc: bcc@example.com,bcc2@example.com\n'
-$ printf "$H" | awk '/^To: .*$/ { print $0 }'
-To: to@example.com, to2@example.com
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { print m }'
-awk: ligne de commande:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal : tentative d'utilisation du tableau « m » dans un contexte scalaire
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { print m[0] }'
-To: to@example.com, to2@example.com
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { print m[1] }'
-to@example.com, to2@example.com
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { split(m[1], tos, " "); print tos }'
-awk: ligne de commande:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal : tentative d'utilisation du tableau « tos » dans un contexte scalaire
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { split(m[1], tos, " "); print tos[0] }'
-
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { split(m[1], tos, " "); print tos[1] }'
-to@example.com,
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { split(m[1], tos, " "); print tos[2] }'
-to2@example.com
-$ printf "$H" | awk 'match($0, /^To: (.*)$/, m) { split(m[1], tos, " "); print tos[3] }'
-----
-
-(This isn't the verbatim interactive session, but a cleaned version to make it
-more readable.)
-
-At this point, I realized I needed a for loop over the `tos` array, and I moved
-the Awk snippet into the `~/bin/dispatch-email.sh`. I liked the final thing:
-
-[source,awk]
-----
-match($0, /^(To|Cc|Bcc): (.*)$/, m) {
- split(m[2], tos, ",")
- for (i in tos) {
- print "--mail-rcpt " tos[i]
- }
-}
-----
-
-As I learn more about Awk, I feel that it is too undervalued, as many people
-turn to Perl or other programming languages when Awk suffices. The advantage is
-pretty clear: writing programs that run on any POSIX system, without extra
-dependencies required.
-
-Coding to the standards is underrated.

-= POSIX sh and shebangs
-
-:awk-1: link:../../../2020/12/15/shellcheck-repo.html
-:awk-2: link:../12/curl-awk-emails.html
-
-As I {awk-1}[keep moving] {awk-2}[towards POSIX], I'm on the process of
-migrating all my Bash scripts to POSIX sh.
-
-As I dropped `[[`, arrays and other Bashisms, I was left staring at the first
-line of every script, wondering what to do: what is the POSIX sh equivalent of
-`#!/usr/bin/env bash`? I already knew that POSIX says nothing about shebangs,
-and that the portable way to call a POSIX sh script is `sh script.sh`, but
-I didn't know what to do with that first line.
-
-What I had previously was:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-set -Eeuo pipefail
-cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")"
-----
-
-Obviously, the `$BASH_SOURCE` would be gone, and I would have to adapt some of
-my scripts to not rely on the script location. The `-E` and `-o pipefail`
-options were also gone, and would be replaced by nothing.
-
-I converted all of them to:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-#!/bin/sh -eu
-----
-
-I moved the `-eu` options to the shebang line itself, striving for conciseness.
-But as I changed callers from `./script.sh` to `sh script.sh`, things started to
-fail. Some tests that should fail reported errors, but didn't return 1.
-
-My first reaction was to revert back to `./script.sh`, but the POSIX bug I
-caught is a strong strain, and when I went back to it, I figured that the
-callers were missing some flags. Specifically, `sh -eu script.sh`.
-
-Then it clicked: when running with `sh script.sh`, the shebang line with the sh
-options is ignored, as it is a comment!
-
-Which means that the shebang most friendly with POSIX is:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-#!/bin/sh
-set -eu
-----
-
-. when running via `./script.sh`, if the system has an executable at `/bin/sh`,
- it will be used to run the script;
-. when running via `sh script.sh`, the sh options aren't ignored as previously.
-
-TIL.

-= Common Lisp argument precedence order parameterization of a generic function
-
-When CLOS dispatches a method, it picks the most specific method definition to
-the argument list:

-:DEFAULT-METHOD
-

-
-CLOS uses a similar logic when choosing the method from parent classes, when
-multiple ones are available:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-* (defclass class-a () ())
-
-#<STANDARD-CLASS CLASS-A {583E0B25}>

-; Compiling LAMBDA (.PV-CELL. .NEXT-METHOD-CALL. OBJ):
-; Compiling Top-Level Form:
-
-#<STANDARD-METHOD ANOTHER-FN (CLASS-B) {584B8895}>
-----
-
-Given the above definitions, when inheriting from `class-a` and `class-b`, the
-order of inheritance matters:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-* (defclass class-a-coming-first (class-a class-b) ())
-#<STANDARD-CLASS CLASS-A-COMING-FIRST {584BE6AD}>
-

-
-* (another-fn (make-instance 'class-a-coming-first))
-:CLASS-A
-
-* (another-fn (make-instance 'class-b-coming-first))
-:CLASS-B
-----
-
-Combining the order of inheritance with generic functions with multiple
-arguments, CLOS has to make a choice of how to pick a method given two competing
-definitions, and its default strategy is prioritizing from left to right:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-* (defgeneric yet-another-fn (obj1 obj2))
-#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION YET-ANOTHER-FN (0) {584D9EC9}>

-#<STANDARD-METHOD YET-ANOTHER-FN (T CLASS-B) {585AAAAD}>
-
-* (yet-another-fn (make-instance 'class-a) (make-instance 'class-b))
-:FIRST-ARG-SPECIALIZED
-----
-
-CLOS has to make a choice between the first and the second definition of
-`yet-another-fn`, but its choice is just a heuristic. What if we want the
-choice to be based on the second argument, instead of the first?
-
-For that, we use the `:argument-precedence-order` option when declaring a
-generic function:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-* (defgeneric yet-another-fn (obj1 obj2) (:argument-precedence-order obj2 obj1))
-#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION YET-ANOTHER-FN (2) {584D9EC9}>
-
-* (yet-another-fn (make-instance 'class-a) (make-instance 'class-b))
-:SECOND-ARG-SPECIALIZED
-----
-
-I liked that the `:argument-precedence-order` option exists. We shouldn't have
-to change the arguments from `(obj1 obj2)` to `(obj2 obj1)` just to make CLOS
-pick the method that we want. We can configure its default behaviour if
-desired, and keep the order of arguments however it best fits the generic
-function.
-
-== Comparison with Clojure
-
-Clojure has an equivalent, when using `defmulti`.
-
-Since when declaring a multi-method with `defmulti` we must define the dispatch
-function, Clojure uses it to pick the method definition. Since the dispatch
-function is required, there is no need for a default behaviour, such as
-left-to-right.
-
-== Conclusion
-
-Making the argument precedence order configurable for generic functions but not
-for class definitions makes a lot of sense.
-
-When declaring a class, we can choose the precedence order, and that is about
-it. But when defining a generic function, the order of arguments is more
-important to the function semantics, and the argument precedence being
-left-to-right is just the default behaviour.
-
-One shouldn't change the order of arguments of a generic function for the sake
-of tailoring it to the CLOS priority ranking algorithm, but doing it for a class
-definition is just fine.
-
-TIL.

-:sort: 1
-:updatedat: 2021-04-27
-
-:defcurry-orig: https://lorettahe.github.io/clojure/2016/09/22/clojure-auto-curry

-Here's a simple macro defined by {defcurry-orig}[Loretta He] to create Clojure
-functions that are curried on all arguments, relying on Clojure's multi-arity
-support:
-
-[source,clojure]

-nil
-----
-
-This simplistic `defcurry` definition doesn't support optional parameters,
-multi-arity, `&` rest arguments, docstrings, etc., but it could certainly evolve
-to do so.
-
-I like how `defcurry` is so short, and abdicates the responsability of doing the
-multi-arity logic to Clojure's built-in multi-arity support. Simple and
-elegant.
-
-Same Clojure as before, now with auto-currying via macros.
-
-== Comparison with Common Lisp
-
-My attempt at writing an equivalent for Common Lisp gives me:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-(defun partial (fn &rest args)
- (lambda (&rest args2)
- (apply fn (append args args2))))
-
-(defun curry-n (n func)
- (cond ((< n 0) (error "Too many arguments"))
- ((zerop n) (funcall func))
- (t (lambda (&rest rest)
- (curry-n (- n (length rest))
- (apply #'partial func rest))))))
-
-(defmacro defcurry (name args &body body)
- `(defun ,name (&rest rest)
- (let ((func (lambda ,args ,@body)))
- (curry-n (- ,(length args) (length rest))
- (apply #'partial func rest)))))
-----
-
-Without built-in multi-arity support, we have to do more work, like tracking the
-number of arguments consumed so far. We also have to write `#'partial`
-ourselves. That is, without dependending on any library, sticking to ANSI
-Common Lisp.
-
-The usage is pretty similar:
-
-[source,lisp]
-----
-* (defcurry add (a b c d e)
- (+ a b c d e))
-ADD
-
-* (add 1)
-#<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (&REST REST) :IN CURRY-N) {100216419B}>
-
-* (funcall (add 1) 2 3 4)
-#<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (&REST REST) :IN CURRY-N) {100216537B}>
-
-* (funcall (add 1) 2 3 4 5)
-15
-
-* (funcall (funcall (add 1) 2 3) 4 5)
-15
-
-* (macroexpand-1
- '(defcurry add (a b c d e)
- (+ a b c d e)))
-(DEFUN ADD (&REST REST)
- (LET ((FUNC (LAMBDA (A B C D E) (+ A B C D E))))
- (CURRY-N (- 5 (LENGTH REST)) (APPLY #'PARTIAL FUNC REST))))
-T
-----
-
-This also require `funcall`s, since we return a `lambda` that doesn't live in
-the function namespace.
-
-Like the Clojure one, it doesn't support optional parameters, `&rest` rest
-arguments, docstrings, etc., but it also could evolve to do so.

-(defmacro nif (expr pos zero neg)
- (let ((g (gensym)))
- `(let ((,g ,expr))

-----

-
-The latest example I can think of is section 1.3.3 of {sicp}[Structure and

- (let ((test-value (f midpoint)))
- (cond ((positive? test-value)
- (search f neg-point midpoint))
- ((negative? test-value)
- (search f midpoint pos-point))
- (else midpoint))))))
-----
-
-Not that the book should introduce such macro this early, but I couldn't avoid
-feeling bothered by not using the `nif` macro, which could even remove the need
-for the intermediate `test-value` variable:

- (midpoint)
- (search f midpoint pos-point)))))
-----
-
-It also avoids `cond`'s extra clunky parentheses for grouping, which is
-unnecessary but built-in.
-
-As a macro, I personally feel it tilts the balance towards expressivenes despite
-its extra cognitive load toll.

-
-On the first line we import the public key (funnily enough, available via
-HTTPS), and after cloning the code via the insecure `git://` protocol, we use
-`git verify-commit` to check the signature.
-
-The verification is successful, and we can see that the public key from the
-signature matches the fingerprint of the imported one. However
-`git verify-commit` doesn't have an option to check which public key you want to
-verify the commit against. Which means that if a MITM attack happens, the
-attacker could very easily serve a malicious repository with signed commits, and
-you'd have to verify the public key by yourself. That would need to happen for
-subsequent fetches, too.
-
-Even though this is possible, it is not very convenient, and certainly very
-brittle. Despite the fact that the Git Protocol is much faster, it being harder
-to make secure is a big downside.

-= Encoding and decoding JavaScript BigInt values with reviver
-:updatedat: 2021-08-13

-:reviver-fn: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse#using_the_reviver_parameter

-
-`JSON.parse()` accepts a second parameter: a {reviver-fn}[`reviver()` function].
-It is a function that can be used to transform the `JSON` values as they're
-being parsed.
-
-As it turns out, when combined with JavaScript's {bigint}[`BigInt`] type, you
-can parse and encode JavaScript `BigInt` numbers via JSON:
-
-[source,javascript]
-----
-const bigIntReviver = (_, value) =>
- typeof value === "string" && value.match(/^-?[0-9]+n$/)
- ? BigInt(value.slice(0, value.length - 1))
- : value;
-----
-
-I chose to interpret strings that contains only numbers and an ending `n`
-suffix as `BigInt` values, similar to how JavaScript interprets `123` (a number)
-differently from `123n` (a `bigint`);
-
-We do those checks before constructing the `BigInt` to avoid throwing needless
-exceptions and catching them on the parsing function, as this could easily
-become a bottleneck when parsing large JSON values.
-
-In order to do the full roundtrip, we now only need the `toJSON()` counterpart:
-
-[source,javascript]
-----
-BigInt.prototype.toJSON = function() {
- return this.toString() + "n";
-};
-----
-
-With both `bigIntReviver` and `toJSON` defined, we can now successfully parse
-and encode JavaScript objects with `BigInt` values transparently:
-
-[source,javascript]
-----
-const s = `[
- null,
- true,
- false,
- -1,
- 3.14,
- "a string",
- { "a-number": "-123" },
- { "a-bigint": "-123n" }
-]`;
-
-const parsed = JSON.parse(s, bigIntReviver);
-const s2 = JSON.stringify(parsed);
-
-console.log(parsed);
-console.log(s2);
-
-console.log(typeof parsed[6]["a-number"])
-console.log(typeof parsed[7]["a-bigint"])
-----
-
-The output of the above is:
-
-[source,javascript]
-----
-[
- null,
- true,
- false,
- -1,
- 3.14,
- 'a string',
- { 'a-number': '-123' },
- { 'a-bigint': -123n }
-]
-[null,true,false,-1,3.14,"a string",{"a-number":"-123"},{"a-bigint":"-123n"}]
-string
-bigint
-----
-
-If you're on a web browser, you can probably try copying and pasting the above
-code on the console right now, as is.
-
-Even though {json-rfc}[`JSON`] doesn't include `BigInt` number, encoding and
-decoding them as strings is quite trivial on JavaScript.
