French here. The exact amount is negotiated (aka decided by the employer) and written in the contract. I had multiple work contracts where the indemnity would have been 30% of my annual salary, never more (which is actually pretty bad becau

Failures are always interesting, but it is incredibly hard to pinpoint why it failed. Lots of things can go wrong, and it is usually a combination of factor that kills a company. I was once told only to take advice from people who succeed

You go with Mailchimp (or equivalent) for newsletters because they give you the subscription form, handle email verification, unsubscriptions, GDPR mentions everywhere, provide useful stats and notifications, segmentation and targeting… Get

If you only worked in companies producing web applications, writing CRUD routes all day is indeed incredibly boring. The glue at least gives you the opportunity to work with a larger range of technical subjects.

I tried to use it when writing my article. It could not even load my initialization file because it is not standard compliant (it does not support the :VERBOSE argument of COMPILE-FILE). The fact that they use GCC under the hood is interest

No you do not have to. ASDF knows where to find your ASD files: https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/asdf.html#Configuring-ASDF-to-f... Personally I use the (:tree (:home "dev/lisp")) form.

What do you mean by "open [...] in a new REPL"? You use ASDF:LOAD-SYSTEM to have ASDF load all the content of the system, making it available to you.

Indeed, corrected. Thank you! I'm not sure what is happening, there are multiple small posts which look like spam, with green nicknames. Edit: green nicknames are from new accounts. On this page, all of them are spam. At some point it

In my opinion, the simplest way is to start with Common Lisp, with SBCL and the Practical Common Lisp book by Peter Seibel. Make sure you are comfortable with Emacs. It is possible to write Common Lisp without it, but Emacs and SLIME are so

But no one is stopping you from building a "full modern standard library". I am doing just that with https://github.com/galdor/tungsten . Of course it would be nice to have a large company do all the work as i

The commercial aspect is not a problem in my opinion (but again english is not my main language so I might have conveyed the wrong tone). The issue is the pricing model which may work for established company ready to invest money from the s

Postgres is indeed a very good choice, I know I can always count on it. If I had to choose one, I would go with Emacs. It is not perfect of course; if only it was written in Common Lisp. But it gives me a huge amount of control on everythin

Thanks for the info. I'm also using both SBCL and CCL, both to stay portable and because it sometimes help finding issues detected by one and not the other. If you end up blogging about CL (and tech in general) at Feetr, know that ther

I just realised you were working on Feetr! I learned you guys were using Common Lisp on Twitter. Small world really. What implementations are you using, and how are you running it in production, if it is not a secret? Any performance issue

Talking about Common Lisp in the places I worked for in the past has always be met with mockery and disdain. But then again, I have seen this kind of reaction for every non-mainstream language, so it is not really surprising. I'm curre

I like the idea of building a newsletter in order to interact with like-minded people. The hard part is to convince these people to subscribe. If you are already well known, it might work. If not, you are back to social networks. Of course

As a writer, I have feeds for my Common Lisp and Emacs posts on Planet Lisp and Planet Emacs respectively. I'm hoping to improve visibility on Twitter, which I started using recently. As a reader, I mostly rely on Planet aggregators. I

I'm worried about it as well (single person business, barely started). I was advised by a friend to have an account at another payment processing platform, and be ready to switch very quickly if needed. Adyen is a possibility. I never

Shameless self-promotion: I built Eventline (see my profile) precisely because I just wanted to schedule and run code in various environments, manually or in reaction to various events, without the complexity that goes with specialized tool

Eventline lets you schedule any script; you can of course build and test software, but you can also run recurring data import or processing jobs, report generation, backups, monitoring checks (I have multiple jobs regularly verifying proper

You're right, the example isn't a good use case for mmap, but it's just here to show how to use osicat for mmapping :)
