Priceless if you read "the little prince"[1] - if not, stop now and invest the hour to do that first. I make all my (adult) guests listen to the audiobook when driving through Tarfaya, where the author was working as a pilot for F

One could also suspect that HN readers tend not to waste their time on "me too" comments and that they rather put their time into a controversy.

Yes, to be fair: hunchentoot is a webserver in CL, the "easy handler framework" is one option how to use it and I have never seen it in production - it is a convenient way to get started.

And in LISPs you'd call a framework maybe protocol or driver. Same difference. A high-level "web request dispatching and handling" library will take just as much control over your code no matter how you call it... (See webloc

You are right, IMHO, but you are also wrong: "commits by hour" and "top committers" are the same metric simply applied to time frames.

> 8.0 > 8.4 > 9.0 > 9.3 > 10.0 > 10.4 > 11.0 > 11.2 Yes, something like this. For 11.x I had to go to a specific patch level first (IIRC due to LLVM version bump).

I am not talking about 8 to 11 in one go. With 8.x I experienced the first literally broken source update and a few came after that. I've switched from Linux to FreeBSD in 1999 because I was fed up with chunky/broken binary update

As a long term FreeBSD user who was bitten by recent (8 up to 11) source update issues I would have loved a disclaimer upfront: "we broke it again" or "we finally got back to normal"....

Which major religion forbids yeast intake (and how would you guarantee that) and from which angle does one shine light on a people united in faith but with distinct local food (and yeast) sources to make it "interesting"?

How bad a title for such a gem. The unpretentious attitude towards science reminds me of Feynman. I wish there were more people in education like them.

The problem is not your alphabet of customers but the insistence on calling it feature "a". If the same feature has mutually exclusive specs, it is not one but two features and it is exactly product development's task to make

The only thing interesting to translate is the title "Overview of appearances of negative-decadent adolescents in the GDR". Of note is that several entries refer to connections to the church[es] (esp youth work of those) - it make

No, GNU devs should understand Unix beyond the GNU ecosystem. I'd be retired on my private planet if I had gotten a dime each time I ported Linux software (mostly the build system) to work on non-linux unixoid operating system. To be f

Uhm, the idea behind of "use it as long as we can get away with it" is not the lack of laws but the lack of enforcement. No new law is going to change that.
