A while back I, ahem, saw a torrent for over 10G of Math books/textbooks on TPB along with numerous other collections that one would never find outside of exclusive university libraries. The internet has changed everything regarding access

The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming is a good place to start.

Let Over Lambda is amazing and I highly recomend it for those that would like to know just what you can do with Lisp macros. It builds on the work in On Lisp, but you can get by without reading it first.

Not to discourage, but this will never happen, at least with mainline emacs. Of course, there's nothing stopping a fork from rewriting the lower level code as suggested, but don't ever expect it to get merged. Think a different language i

You might want to try HashWM: https://github.com/ZaneA/HashTWM . Might not be perfect, but you have the source so can fix it up/enhance it.

Sites like this are the best way to learn any language. Keep up the good work, and I might start learning me some clojure soon enough.

DOS with DJGPP (GNU userland) is actually not too bad of a system to work with. I did my undergrad thesis programming project using it back in the day (1997). Sometimes the multi-user paradigm of Linux is just too heavyweight for a single

This will help flesh out some of the concepts from the last units in the Stanford AI Class. I really learned I had a deficiency in Statistics after those videos.

Wasn't one of John McCarthy's original AI papers about an intelligent thermostat?

Short article is short and lacking data points (every 60 years? give me a break).

One problem with using that technique is that it's has been patented, along with derivatives of it, for quite a while.

Qi is a lisp like language with a type system similar to Haskell, except that it's fully Turing Complete (the type system). Shen is the next version which was meant to be more accessible to regular users.

Emacs, because it's still around after 27 years and in everyday use. Edit: had the number of years wrong, was originally based on the original emacs and not GNU emacs.

Or you could just C-u M-x eshell.

Couldn't get it to work even after I stopped blocking it with noscript.

Or to borrow it from a bank. See "The Mystery of Banking".

This fact is part of the money system. When a loan is taken out from a bank, the principal of the loan is created, but the interest is not. This creates a competition in the economy to get the money that is not created to pay back the int

But since the patent has been done and expired, the actual algorithm is no longer patentable again, right?

> It's really about time we get IDEs that allow us to hands-on manipulate the AST of a language, rather than edit text. Sounds like Lisp to me.

I think that would be Absurdism, but instead of reaching it, we can't understand it.

Back in school, about halfway through my course in DSP, my teacher realized that none of us had any idea what he was talking about...so he went back to basics and explained Imaginary numbers much like this article for a whole day. Things s

I remember back in school that doing the math was not really a problem, but actually reading the textbooks was. I was the same way with programming when I started, where I could write but not read the language, but I'm suprised that I got t

There was a book, "Practical File System Design" that went over the implementation details of the BeOS file system. Good reading for anybody interested in more detail.

Maybe because this story is in the Economist and not just some random blog?
