Shouldn't they mention their compensation strategy when discussing what they do to make everyone happy and productive?

I don't get Co2Stats. It's a very cool idea, with a caveat. If I were to have an online business, I would gladly pay for clean energy (perhaps even at a small premium) rather than buy energy from an old-style fossil fuel burning energy comp

You can convert this to a domain, but I'm still not sure how to say Julie likes everyone who likes girls. Using dependent data definitions in SQL gets very tricky very quickly. You can do it in a view, but a view is not designed to represen

Not to mention that CL reader can be configured to have any kind of case behavior you want, and turning symbols to upper case just happens to be the default.

Could you put your email in your profile (or shoot me one)?

Sure, but you could make this argument about anything worth talking about.

It is not a disguise, I couldn't be more direct about it. My goal was to introduce people to an excellent (yet little known these days) author who did a very good job explaining these concepts and helping people free themselves from the bon

Right. Being able to see these assumptions is arguably an incredibly useful skill. More traditional intelligence coupled with ability to see such assumptions should get you much further than traditional intelligence alone.

> This solution, of course, is just another implicit assumption that the irregular shape cut out of the cake is oriented vertically. This is an excellent observation. I didn't realize this when I was writing about it.

Ok. Didn't hurt to ask, though :)

The concept of "fair" doesn't really apply here. YC can use any [legal] criteria they wish. We're just interested in learning what we could do to improve the application, so we're asking for a little more information, if possible. It's not

by coffeemug 19y ago
Sure, but that only gives you information about the people and ideas you're competing with. It doesn't give you information on how to present yourself on the application, which really is the bottleneck when conveying information to YC.

Would it be possible to see an example of a stellar application? You'd only have to put it up once, and it would help all of us understand what we're up against.

CSS is very difficult to replace with an abstraction because it's too quirky. Compiling a high level language down to CSS without human intelligence is so difficult, it's completely impractical. HTML, on the other hand, is easy to abstract.

You can already single-step and highlight the piece of code you're stepping (assuming you use Slime/sldb). You just need to proclaim a debug level 3 before compiling your software. http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Debugger-Policy-Control.html#De

|Also, how mature/complete is Weblocks? Now that control flow is in, I have to implement two more things to consider Weblocks "ready" - more flexible UI presentation, and a default data store. The first issue is that current default UI gene

Do you mind sharing where you work?

Zak, why does it matter to you if someone is using Scheme in the real world? The question you should be asking is if you can use it to your advantage to outperform others who aren't using it. So far, the biggest issue with Common Lisp I ran

Something about the design of the front page makes it look like one of the linkjack/adsense pages. This is a first glance kind of thing, but it's important as it can turn off a huge percentage of visitors. Also, the footer on the front page

Are you looking for Lisp consultants?

While there are many ways to skin this cat, it seems like the right way to approach it is to consider the offer from your POV, not from an obscure universal concept of fairness. Assuming you believe in the idea and in the ability of the two

Well, I wrote Weblocks. It's already very nice (using Lisp turned out to be really great) but some fairly commonly requested features are not yet in. Give it a try, send some questions to the support group, and see if it's right for you.
