Or, if you want the candidate to talk about a certain approach, maybe think of some ways you can nudge them in that direction. If something's not at top of mind, some subtle hints from the interviewer could trigger a discussion of what

I wanted to get last modified dates from some files, and I tried to use OSICAT-POSIX, but it didn't work because it was missing a non-CL dependency, so I used SB-POSIX instead, and it worked as expected, no issues. I was glad to have t

The other day on IRC, someone (pjb) mentioned that clisp is the best CL, so now I'm very curious :)

Get rid of the Windows key, and give me a ctrl and alt key on the right side. And some way to do "right-click"; usually S-F10 works, but I'm not sure those keys at the top are "fucntion keys". To me it seems like it

Fair enough. For sure it's subjective factors (personal taste, etc) + objective ones (surrounding lighting, time of day, how long you've already been looking at a screen, and so on ...).

Maybe not old enough? ;-) I use to prefer light mode exclusively, but my eyes feel more comfortable with dark mode as I get older.

I think most of the movements covered work with the Visual Studio vim plugin as well. Just in general, when using an unfamiliar editor, having a vim plugin lets you bypass having to learn (most of) that editor’s navigation and movement shor

nH is also good if you want to go to line n from the top. Works in reverse with nL too :)

I know this part of the conversation is focusing on Scheme, but wanted to mention that first and rest are standard CL functions: http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_firstc.htm#first http://clhs.lisp.se/Body&#x2F
