Any reason? Youth poverty and loss of trust in the government, really.

I would like to do this too. Would you like me to join this effort? I want to propose to write up a CDR that standardizes a hierarchy. Please send me a mail! :)

Pretty cool seeing yet another CL implementation popping up from the past. In my opinion its absolutely essential for a programming language to have as many implementations as possible. Its really the only way to truly put the language stan

by mrottenkolber 12y ago
I'd say both are essential, but PCL should be digested first (no need to read every paragraph). On Lisp is IMHO a lambda power user guide and not a good general introduction to CL.

> the anti-LISP Agree. It has message passing with a nice thread model, and the engineering seemed sound when I experimented with Go a few years back, but it lacks everything I need in order to actually program.

It's a common(?) browser setting. E.g. in Firefox go to "Preferences > Content > Font & Colors / Advanced". It's useful for preventing websites from forcing font sizes that are too small for your display (

Not to piss on the pie BUT: The GitHub CSS breaks when one sets a minimum font-size (as required for high DPI screens). Heck every web page based on bootstrap or most "modern" CSS frameworks breaks the same way. How about you &quo

Disagree strongly. Computers are way uglier now than they were in the 90s (beige boxes). There is an arc in every art. It starts with the bare bone essentials, exposing the spirit and greatness. Then it becomes popular and amasses cruft unt

They just don't have much music. I tried spotify as a youtube substitute a few months back (at a friends house). Turns out they don't have a single song I searched for (all available on youtube, well known genre classics).

Thank you dude. I really needed a good comment on HN. I personally never had time for school, I needed to earn money and I am glad I didn't go to school/university longer. It would have been a huge waste of my time and it would ha

I agree. I couldn't care less what he had to do in order to fit his not really usable (from a chess enthusiasts perspective) chess implementation in N kb. Apparently N kb is not enough for a good chess program.

Because HN is the worst possible place to have an exchange of views. Seems like a sensible selection of news sources to me. May I add: The Intercept is nice.

Please everyone who thinks Spiegel is a decent magazine. It's not. Any German with a bit of an education can only detest the journalistic "quality" of Der Spiegel. It's a propaganda outlet, on the same level as Deutsche
