Oh crap. I read it the other way. My bad. It was only a guess on my part, havent used IE ever.

Probably because of the new release of their layout engine. IE11 comes with trident 7 while all the previous versions use 6 or below. It might be causing the trouble with google. Probably that's why Google works well in compatibility v

Indeed. Once you get hold of it, the REPLs and the prefix notations seem like a life saver, just like the complex Vim and Emacs key bindings. Most just look at the code from outside, frown at it and leave without ever knowing the immense po

I do not downvote people people for expressing their opinions. Also I doubt if I have enough karma to do that. Someone else did. :) What I meant was, Lisp programmers usually learn to ignore the parens. When I look at a Lisp code, I just se

by anuragramdasan 13y ago
To be really honest, a Lisp programmer doesn't really see that many parens in his code. And clojure doesn't even have those many parens. Maybe its just me, but I have only seen those who haven't used Lisp complain about too m

While I find this poll rather insignificant and pointless, I can't help being amused by the amount of downvotes Common Lisp and Clojure have received. Can someone(probably someone who downvoted) please explain me what is wrong with tho

Yes, in a developing country, there is a tendency for people to drift more towards the fields that are considered stable and secure at that point in time. This is nothing new at all.

Indeed. There probably are great teams doing great things in India. But getting everything together in a way you want it might not be that easy. But of course, merely stating that Indian programmers should not be hired or anything as such i

So...Indian programmer here. Well. I was just about writing some similar anecdotes for an article and I came across this. So, let me share what I have seen related to this. Firstly, right now in India, programming(Computer engineering) is o

Well that is interesting. I started off on a celeron/pentium system so I have no clue how these work. Actually never even came across one of such system in my life. Also since all the old usenet stuff are found on Google Groups, I neve

1. I once had a guy approach me to be the technical co-founder and build the entire server side of his app(which was almost all of it) and he offered to pay me 8% over 4 years with a meagre monthly salary. A cofounder! 2. Another startup on

This is lovely. Although it would be great of there could be some link or info about the track being played because this could work as a brilliant music discovery service.

I guess that is quite expected. I for one, do no care about LightTable or Meteor and haven't used either yet. So I probably wouldn't bother looking into such a link when it comes on HN. But on the other hand, a loss of a person im
