I didn't really watch the whole video because it's a coke commercial, but what keeps me from saving the cap and using it to open future bottles?

The wifi thing was true a few years ago, but isn't anymore if you are using a mainstream distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora.

Actually they're macro expansion time meta programming. Common Lisp also has compiler macros, which are slightly different (in addition to regular macros). Lisps generally run in an image, meaning you have full access to he full state

I have a BA in philosphy and am employed as a programmer. It's been pretty good to me. Skepticism, logic, and good communication are important for any job. I went back and got an MS is CS because I wanted the technical background in a

It's funny that in C++ this is 'abuse of the compiler' and it is awkward, in lisp this is called 'writing lisp code'.

Beyond the stuff that is harder to substantiate, putting stuff in your comments that isn't related to the code you've written is incredibly unprofessional. I wouldn't do that at any of the jobs I've been in. It's a

How is it squeezing out other traffic? A packet is a packet, under the net neutrality model all packets are routed equally. Capping packet flow from a provider would be like Subaru owning chunks of the national highway and setting a limit o

I like what I do too, but I'm not some ephemeral being, I have material needs. Anyway, It's always about compensation, environment and camaraderie is part of compensation. If it weren't about compensation I would work on my o

This is totally right, you absolutely want to sugar coat it. Don't say "I'm leaving because I hate bill". But for everyone else's benefit you can drop in that this new place you're working for gives you the fle

In reality, if he can get a 30% pay raise elsewhere, he should take it. It's not about punishing anyone, it's about compensation. Part of his compensation is flexible work hours. Another part is money/benefits. If his manager

It's called an exit interview. Once you secure a new job, don't be shy with your managers about why you are leaving.

No syntax has intrinsic semantics. I don't think 'intrinsic semantics' is a meaningful combination of words. Explicitly, in lisp, everything is a stack of instructions arranged in a tree. The instructions are either function

My degree was in philosophy (from a good college), but I had to work my way up from being an administrative assistant (at a big engineering firm) into development positions. The starting pay was less, I never reached parity with my engineer

Only for a first job, or for more school, yes. But seriously, it isn't important. For any job, it is much more important to have some sort of positive personal connection. (Worked with someone there before, a professor recommends you

Well, I've worked on and written lisp code for many disparate applications. The real problem is if you get lisp in the hands of an egg juggler, they will still want to juggle eggs. Lisp isn't really made for that, so it ends up &#

Wars aren't overtly fought over resources these days, but the US has spent a lot of money in Iraq and 'stabilizing' the middle east (lot of good it's done). There happens to be oil in that area.

This is how it used to be. You graduate high school/college and you loose touch with the people who were unimportant, keep in touch with the people who are important. I don't really see this as a problem. The people who you wouldn

Technically, your are correct. HOWEVER, In most of the compiled versions you set speed/space/safety/debug levels 1-3 and get different uses of the type hints. In SBCL, if i set safety/debug at high priority, I will get w

Rules of thumb are there to prevent error. If you know the reasons behind the rules of thumb, you can ignore the rules and work from the reasons for the rules. This is expertise. When someone questions your 'breaking of the rule,'
