Cool post, I never new about newLISP before this; just checked out the language and it looks really cool!

I picked up an amateur understanding of Erlang earlier last year and have been teaching myself Scheme for the last five months with The Littler Schemer and How to Design Programs . I highly recommend both, Clojure seems like a good choic

I recently finished a decentralized content API for my own personal website and for a future community that is planned to be an article publishing portal. It is only a private console with an API, so there isn't much to look at. I tied up a

I don't have a spartan work area (or computer desktop) but it is minimal and logically organized. I follow one primary rule: always put away what I've been using.

The title is a bit misleading, I think. Change always happens incrementally (evolution doesn't leap, it refines); immersion ensures that the incremental changes are locked into a specific pattern and focus. The image used in the post was a

I would agree with this sentiment, I find it immeasurably frustrating when I spend twenty minutes writing a cogent and thoughtful response to someone to only get downvoted with no refutation/counter argument. I can agree with downvoting whe

Interesting website, kind of irritating that the whole thing is using HTTPS; they should only implement that for logins/ecommerce, not for general browsing.

This is an excellent response. Diversification can do nothing but assist you, even if you deviate only by a small degree. Example: I used to have a similar issue with "idea paralysis" and it wasn't until I created a focus by recognizing my

I learned a little bit of Common Lisp early in the summer and dabbled a bit with Scheme the last few months; my resolution has been to learn Scheme, honestly, alongside The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer . So, kudos and good luc

I know it's a bit of a dead horse now but one could say that the User Experience has changed because the colors have changed, but the User Interface has not changed.

Downvoting is fine, but it did take me a mindful amount of time to write that response; your comment is bordering on "trolling". If you choose to downvote me because there is a critical flaw in my reasoning, or a faulty premise, or maybe so

Sounds like you're insecure about something and you are using your intellectual prowess to make up for a perceived lack. Your insecurity is probably resting on something your father did not provide for you, I'm basing that statement on the

Great resource, thank you for posting. For anyone interested, J. E. Cirlot's "Dictionary of Symbols" is an excellent book.

I don't usually upvote comments like these on HackerNews, but that genuinely made me laugh-out-loud.

I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar . While its plot wasn't complex, deep, and enriching; it still had a plot. One that was blended well with other sub-plots. It also served well with the world building. The plot didn't distract from it and the ey

+1 for Webfaction. You get a shell, a gazillion different application types (CGI, Rails, PHP, Django, custom). You can compile Apache and/or MySQL and configure a custom port for it. Their support is responsive. Service has competitive pric

I think the commenter was pointing out the lack of depth in the article, the author more-or-less just skimmed the subject. I completely agree with what you've said, it's a process I came to on my own over the course of my self education. Mn

A good argument for self directed learning. I was home schooled a number of times and you're just replacing a class room with your living room and a teacher with your parents; the material is all just as rote and redundant as the school m

Posts like that are generally useless to me. "Are you creating value? A guide." Don't I know if I'm creating value by the response/success of my company? By how inspired I am in what I am building? I could see the "A guide" part as being us

This is very cool, it would be more cool if he made it a public museum. It would obviously cost money to move the stuff into a proper building with security and staffing but would be great for so many people...

This article has nothing to do with the general content of hacker news. This is an article about the social status of women and how they overcome it, more political than anything else. I would rather see articles about successful women lead

He is falsely equating writing with thinking. Writing is a manifestation of thought, just as other forms of expression are. His claims and logic come across as supercilious, too. Language is just a standard for communication amongst group.

It would appear the author is an amateur scholar; he provided a very interesting point of view and I enjoyed the read. It would have been comprehensive had he supplied opposing arguments, references, and fleshed out his writing a bit more.
