Paul Graham on Graphic Objects
- pg 19y agoHow weird. I didn't recognize this, but it sounded like me. Did I write something for Dr. Dobbs and then forget about it? Then I noticed the date. This is from 1988. Uh oh, just noticed they didn't preserve indentation in the code. That makes it effectively unreadable.
- BrandonM 19y agoSo basically, someone who knows very little about Lisp just slapped your code on their website? I also noticed that the date now reads "May 10, 2007," which looks to me like sometime in the future :/.
- jkush 19y agoNo - DDJ reprinted an article they originally published in 1988. The article was written by Paul Graham. The digital version lost the code indentation which makes it a lot less readable.
- BrandonM 19y agoAhh, that's more forgivable then. I'm still not sure what's up with that date, though.
- ced 19y agoRead the italized subtext below the title. I also got caught by the May 2007 date at first. It might be intentionally misleading.
- BrandonM 19y agoRight, I saw that, but I read the article (thanks to jkush's submission) on the 8th, and the article's date is May 10. Anyways, it's not important, just a pointless observation.
- brlewis 19y agoI would guess it's the date that will be printed on newsstand issues. I noticed some time ago that a lot of magazines post-date themselves, presumably because people are less likely to buy a magazine that's dated a week ago.
- ralph 19y agoIf you "print" the article they use a fixed width font and the indentation looks better. Helps to turn off the style sheet too.
