It certainly saves me time, and I end up with better code and better documentation. I can stay thinking at a higher level, which removes cognitive friction. I usually don't want to be programming: I want the functions I need to be writ

I pay for ChatGPT-4. It's helping me program noticeably better and much faster, even with mid-sized projects involving many files. This is the process that I follow: - I write a system prompt with a succinct description of what I want

It looks great, and thank you for open-sourcing it. Is it mostly a convenient way to follow all entry points to the community from the same place, or are you guys planning/offering something beyond that?

Glad you find it cool! My PhD was in Mechanical Engineering.

The simulation of collisions becomes trickier when tangential compliance cannot be ignored. For example, a ping-pong ball (very high tangential stiffness) rotating around an axis perpendicular to the motion falls straight on a table and bo

I do, the star mapping sofware at the core of my company is Common Lisp run by sbcl. I use it because it is fast, reliable, and a pleasure to develop with. Actually, that is true, but the actual reason I use it is that many many years ago

I have never written it down, but it's very simple. I don't use any external libraries. I converted the input databases to lisp and compiled them in, and the output is simple postscript. When I want to deploy I dump a core with

I use it to write the star-mapping software behind https://greaterskies.com many years ago. I did it as a fun project after reading PG's essays, but now it is supporting my family and two employees. In the few occasions I

Thank you! I'll give it a shot.

I stick to GA because I fear that removing it could impact my site's ranking. Is it an unfounded fear, anyone knows?

I wonder if this could be used in other languages like go or common lisp?

I built https://greaterskies.com with Common Lisp making the star maps, talking to the clients via a thin layer of plain Python, running on several EC2 instances and storing everything in SDB. Front end is plain Javascript with

Thanks! It has been an amazing experience, if a bit exhausting (I am a single founder and the only developer). I did it because it was cool, started giving them to friends, and then it became obvious that they were making a very large impa

Hmm, I may explore this idea. Thank you for the feedback. And I am glad I have the video!

Hmm, I suspect you are right, thank you for the feedback. I think my customers will be business owners with some technical expertise (you need to at least understand what a transparent PNG is, and be able to paste it on your background), bu

I've tried again, thank you for the feedback. I have added the prices in the Plans page, I hope this will make it crystal clear what you can do. Today is being a very instructive day!

I have just updated the Plans page. I hope with the new changes the pricing is more clear, and also the benefits of subscribing. The rest will take a bit longer... Thank you again.

I use some CLOS, but most of it is plain old Lisp trying to avoid side-effects. Deploying is just dumping an SBCL core with the right functionality in it. It lives in a private server inside a VPN, listening to a port. Nothing fancy, rea

PG's Lisp books don't deal with packaging and ecosystem at all, do they? I think they are still very much relevant, and I completely agree with your recommendation.

Thank you for the feedback. The key addition that you get with the Explorer is access to bulk prices and bigger maps, but I probably don't say that clearly enough... you can actually buy and make maps with a free account.

I learned with ANSI CL, then read PG's On Lisp (which I downloaded from somewhere and printed, I don't think it was available). ANSI CL is great, the chapter where he writes an OO framework is just amazing. And On Lisp blew my m

Thank you :-) I should probably feature the samples more clearly.
