You might want to mention https://github.com/fare/asdf/tree/master/uiop which is part of ASDF and bundled by default with most implementations.

You build trust with stakeholders, usually by solving important problems until you reach a point at which having you solve a new problem is more important to them than what you solve it with. It helps if whatever tech you are introducing ac

Obviously highly opinionated and personal statement coming, but Common Lisp is to Clojure what Meccano is to LEGO, and I have never been a LEGO person. If I work on a project where functional programming with emphasis on purity is required

No interpreters used, mostly SBCL and CCL. Folks over at Grammarly have a blog post which mentions few reasons for the combo http://tech.grammarly.com/blog/posts/Running-Lisp-in-Product... I write portable code an

I started a big project at work using Common Lisp in 2017 and could not be happier. Sure, most nice features have trickled down to other languages, but they are rarely as nicely integrated. And Lisp still has many advantages that are not fo

First year is brutal, especially if the baby does not want to breastfeed, but afterwards it is sort of manageable, it is like running a side project. I had major issues not only keeping up but doing normal work, but colleagues were very und

There are many, here are two of my favorites: - I can completely disable all controls, notifications, status bars and the like. This leaves me with less noise and allow me to focus on the applications at hand. But usability does not suffer,

I do not think there is a single field more interesting than programming today. I do not mean Developer, as in Java Developer, I mean programmer, somebody who uses computers to do what was not possible before. So I would still do programmin

Nice! I learned to touch type two years ago, and I still practice from time to time. Here is what switching to Ergodox from Model M looked for me https://postimg.org/image/i2791e2fn/ hopefully it will be easier fo

What I run today would have looked the same 20 years ago. How many times have Desktop Environments changed during this time? One has to constantly devote time to keep up with changes mostly aimed at typical consumers, and sometimes they are

That is a good point. Let me be clear then, this is my personal journey from Windows to MacOS and finally to a custom setup on Linux and the reasoning behind it. I certainly do not mean to preach.

Same here, if one sees through the volatility of his posts, there is definitely a lot to learn. I discovered them after reading his obituary by Kent Pitman.

My preferences are just that, yours should be yours. My point is that if you are choosing where to work, you should choose something that is optimized for your field of work and for your demands as professional, not a mass market solution w

You have to realize that MacOS, Windows, even typical Linux Desktop is not an optimal environment for a professional programmer, or for any other computer based job which involves a lot of writing, reading and maintaining flow state. The re

This is wholeheartedly welcome, lets hope 2017 brings more news like this. Not at all surprised that it is being done in Finland.

Expect can be a lifesaver when you cannot use your usual go-to tools like Ansible etc. especially with legacy setups where you cannot tweak stuff much. I have successfully used it combined with tmux for automated multi-term like functionali

I have offered exactly this to multiple companies who interviewed me, but so far none of them was willing to devote time to do it. I guess industry is just too used to the established practice, and "hey, if Google is doing it why not u

I wonder how much waste can be averted if remote was the default option everywhere where it is a viable way of working. Perhaps this is one of the easier ways to contribute to averting the catastrophe.

Funny, the original PowerBook they showed had a mechanical keyboard and a trackball, things that are much more compelling, and definitely more useful to me personally. You know, as a professional programmer I sort of take pride that I am im

Yep they make pretty decent clones. I have special edition they did on Massdrop but sadly the 70g keys are causing major pain and I have to use my other keyboard with Topre switches for doing work :(

I have always really liked stuff from https://www.thevenusproject.com/ some of their ideas might seem crazyish but overall I think anybody thinking about designing new cities ought to at least take a look.

Lisp is not a functional programming language. Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language. Functional programming, although awesome, is not the optimal choice for everything. Designers of Lisp understood this, so the language tries to ge
