Yes, that must be it. As I understand it, the deconstruction was included in the working copy of his book before Chapter 1, and then later removed, correct? Edit: Ah, incorrect. He actually intended it to be a chapter-by-chapter deconstru

Are you using cwm on OpenBSD or on something else? (Just curious.)

"On Lisp" is a good book but perhaps too advanced for an introduction, whereas his "ANSI Common Lisp"[0] is better suited to the purpose. Barski's "Land of Lisp" has also received positive feedback.[1] I&

This might have seemed as a superficial witticism, but it's not meant as one (honestly!). There's a fundamental difference in approach towards hardware and software that's cultivated slowly, gently, and steadily by Apple. Th

Haven't tried that, but it really sounds it would be terrible to the wrists after prolonged use (in which case "prolonged" would mean longer than 10-15 minutes).

Not really surprising. Old MBA 2013 has an awesome keyboard for coding (and is overall a great terminal device), and the Apple Wireless is identical to some MBA/MBP keyboards. The effective distance between the keys and the overall g

The primary difference is whether you think it's alright to spend £35 on a single simple cable or not. Many things that follow simply hinge on that.

Definitely go for it, then, and try to do Common Lisp rather than anything else. You can always expand later to JVM-based Clojure, or indeed contract to Scheme, but it's good to start with the thing itself. The world always needs more

It would seem as too much of a shot in the dark with questionable ROI for a non-technical (and probably even a technical) manager. From their perspective it would seem as the equivalent of introducing an inexperienced programmer into the t

Previous discussions from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16860646 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16679963 (Common) Lisp usually gets more use than exposure, so it's nice to see l

I feel guilty for laughing when he said "to have a friendly chat with HR". It's certainly not a good month for him, as apparently his wife recently left him as well[0]. Bit sad (and perhaps demeaning) to see the video cut m

Similar in Greek academic networks, adapting to local mythology. The amount of routers and mail servers named 'Hermes' was ridiculous. Different experience in English academia, where I encountered random names (e.g. 'mira&#x

That would be my impression as well. Linux does have a much wider user base, however, and that enables the community to even stumble across problems more frequently, while a smaller project like OpenBSD might have to orchestrate specificall
