Which ones? I sometimes work in the Swiss Cottage library and the Internet connection is usable and they don't seem to block ports. One alternative is to get a 3G/4G usb dongle.

OP here. I'm curious to know what people think about the post. I'm specially interested to know what you think of the screenshots (too many?, too few? too small? too big?) and if you prefer the animated gifs (there are a couple) o

Do you have a link to you blog post? I'm super curious about your story. I can relate to you wanting to go back to Italy; it may not be the best place to have a startup (bureaucracy, etc) but it can be a fantastic place to live in! (I

As people mentioned, as an EU citizen, you can move to another European country (much easier than moving to the USA). Since you are a student, you may want to enroll in the Erasmus Programme [1] and use it as a stepping stone. Also, I'

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm reading it now and I'm liking it so far (I've read "Do the Work" and I didn't like it as much). I agree that The War of Art is a little bit self-helpy, but I got a lot of valu

Racket is a scheme, but this infix notation is unique to racket, i.e. it's not in the scheme specification. In fact, there are other proposals for infix notation for scheme, such as http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-105&#x2

Lisp macros receive as input valid s-expressions, that don't need necessarily to be valid common lisp code, such as (my-macro (2 + 2)) and output valid lisp code during macro expansion time. The macro my-macro could expand the

There are many infix macros for Common Lisp. This one [1], for instance, allows you to write: #I( x^^2 + y^^2 ) And, naturally, you can macroexpand the macro. [1] ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/user/ai/lang/lisp/cod

You can always macroexpand a macro to know precisely how it's defined and it's going to be executed [1]. If you use emacs+slime it's as easy as putting your cursor before an expression and tying a keybinding [2]. But in the r

Good question. I guess the only reason I didn't ditch PayPal before was that in the past Gumroad would deposit your money in your PayPal account (i.e. you'd need PayPal anyway). Now that Gumroad deposits directly to your bank acco
