visuallization with double L's, really? ;-) (why I can't edit my comment?)

Iterate is pretty sweet. Also, you can extend it by using macros: http://items.sjbach.com/280/extending-the-iterate-macro And iterate has good documentation: http://common-lisp.net/project/iterate/

Awesome. Now Amazon needs to allow people outside US to buy MP3s.

"Absolute FreeBSD: The Complete Guide to FreeBSD" by Michael Lucas is one of the best technical books I've read: http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-FreeBSD-Complete-Guide-2nd/dp...

With BSD ports you compile the packages. The advantage is that you can select the compilation flags and choose dependencies and options. For instance, want to build emacs without X support? Just run WITHOUT_X11=yes make install clean. With

Dull concrete? How about lake Tahoe, Yosemite park, Muir Woods park, Monterey Bay, Black Mountain, and I could go on. I do miss living in California ;-)

You should go for it. Check out things like csound [1], puredata [2], chuck [3], and supercollider [4]. "Computer Music" by Charles Dodge is a classic book on computer music [5] (oldie but goodie) [1] http://www.csounds.com [2] http://pu

Or you can go to a place in Brazil where there is no Beach ;-) Just curious, where in Brazil you went?

Hum, you're probably right. A hack would be to use something like wmctrl and custom hotkeys.

Or you can stay in nearby cities like Menlo Park or Redwood City. I used to live in Menlo Park and I went to Palo Alto all the time. You may want to get a bike, though ;-)

I didn't say that the homicides are committed by "gun nuts". Among the dangers of having a gun is that if you're robbed, you may be killed because you have a gun (you don't even need to react) or have your gun stolen and be used in a homici

Holly shit, Brazil has a extremely high homicide rate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homicide_r... I knew it'd be high, but I didn't think it was going to be 5 times the homicide rate in the USA (with all those gun nut

My view is that people in the bay area are very friendly and it's reasonably easy to make friends (accounting the geek factor ;-). A good start is to check meetup.com for groups with similar interest (startups, programming languages, food,

For $1000 you can find a small studio, but also consider the advice to look for places in the peninsula (Mountain View, Menlo Park, Palo Alto) and East bay (Oakland, etc) As a rule of the thumb, the places north in the city (nob hill, south

You mean $1000 total or each? If total it's probably on the low end and expect to pay more. Check craigslist to have an idea of price. You can get around by bike, public transportation or walking, but it's not a bad idea to either have a ca

To be honest, when I first read the title I thought that it was yet another basic article about writing a basic lisp interpreter (google returns 47000+ links on this subject). But of course when I saw it was written by lisp über guru Peter

I like the quote that a powerful language should fit a page of code: "I asserted that you could define the "most powerful language in the world" in "a page of code." I had orignally made the boast because McCarthy's self-describing LISP int

Have you actually tried to use kindlefeeder? It's a good service when the RSS feed has the full text, otherwise it just doesn't work (it's no good to read hacker news, for instance, as the feed doesn't have the full text)

You don't need to "Go to web browser, look up book, buy book, and send back to Kindle". You can buy the book directly from the sample with two clicks (menu -> buy this book)

I never used Read It Later, but instapaper can also save kindle and epub files. Even if I have a pro instapaper iphone app, I mainly use it on the kindle these days.

I have a kindle edition of "Javascript the best parts" (I bought the ebook bundle, a mobi + pdf, on O'Reilly) and it's good enough. Usually when the book doesn't have long code examples it's fine to read on the kindle. OTOH, sometimes they
