I would love to see sequel: "A chat over lunch, 9 years later."

That is exactly how I feel too! I felt like I was watching a movie, that was compelling by the scene of it, despite not understanding what's going on for the most part.. But it makes you dream.. and makes me want to dive deeper into it all.

And Crumble is open-source! Which is awesome! Great job, I was looking for something exactly like this - simple. Will try tomorrow

Woah, obviously something needs to be done. My iPad has been getting so slow recently..

Any piece that crosses the Event Horizon (I'd say from B4 to G4) would get torn apart under its own gravity and just disappear into nothingness. Although from the piece's perspective, time would come to a standstill? Now how about that...

You're welcome -- I only found out about them recently too

That is the most satisfying answer; I couldn't agree more.

The Mixergy interview with PG (Feb 2010)[1] mentions Jessica working on a second edition of Founders at Work. PG: "You know, that is her deepest wish. If she is watching this, she’ll be laughing so much at this point because that’s what she

Good job - impressive discipline. My wife is working on her first work of narrative non-fiction (she's a journalist), and every few weeks I have to help her reset her commitment to write 1k words a day. How do you do it? I'll forward this t

Have your views on Common Lisp changed, since you wrote your ANSI Common Lisp?

For me, the most undervalued book is The Art of Worldly Wisdom by Baltasar Gracian y Morales. It's a small book of very condensed and timeless wisdom in the form of maxims, written very poetically. It's not a self-help book, the kind you mi

Hehe, yeah, I tried explaining too, with all my passion, she just stared at me and said: "I have a nerdy husband" -_-' I'll give it another shot with that link, perhaps tomorrow :)

Interesting.. how many moving parts does consciousness have? To me, consciousness and the mind are but one thing.
323.
by mck- 14y ago
Absolutely. Try the same when reading HN. Are you conscious while you are reading these words? Were you conscious 10 seconds ago? When you're not conscious, are you really 'alive'? Try meditating on Conway's Game of Life ;)

Never be embarrassed. I do it all the time ;) I'd be walking home from work, focussing hard not to walk. Just staring blindly ahead, allowing auto-pilot to take me home, and focus on every sensation of every muscle in every part of my body.

It's that feeling of being in the zone, completely forgetting about tomorrow's worries. But how does one raise awareness of being in the zone? It is that consciousness that I believe is paramount. Training your consciousness by playing spo

Watching this video makes me wonder if Wolfram's "New Kind of Science" is getting old (like Tetris). I was actually reading that book at the book store for hours, getting quite intrigued, but at the same time deterred by its size. Perhaps I

That's awesome -- so with them publishing this style guide, are they trying to reach out to the Lisp community for recruitment purposes?

Thanks for that Scott, I've never heard of TCE -- learn something every day reading HN. Just did a quick comparison (SBCL) between the above and the textbook version: (defun sum (list) (if (null list) 0 (+ (car list) (sum (cdr list)
