A progression of books on high altitude climbing. Have read Into thin air, the climb, dark summit in the past month or two, currently reading no way down and have Annapurna: The first conquest of a 8000m peak and The will to climb out from

Yes and No. You could build the lisp primitives out of NAND, but you still need those primitives to build the lisp implementation, which is what the orignial question is. You could also write the lisp primitives without direct reference to

Which is quite different to the theoretical minimum number which they are presumably looking at

Disagreeing, but it was late when I wrote it. I guess my counter argument would be that what is fundamentally computable and what someone choices to implement in a library are not the same thing. With languages that may be a bit closer to t

From the article Option and null in dynamic languages [1] "Languages and libraries are defined not by what they make possible (the Church-Turing thesis tells us that), but by what they make easy." The Church-Turing thesis tells us

Add in a algorithms text book (and perhaps a lecture series) and an OS book. And you would probably have something more comprehensive then a lot of undergrad CS degrees. You mentioned and more about the books recommended to you, what are so

This book is more or less the definitive book on functional persistent data structures. More about how to design and reason about them, then a collection book. http://www.amazon.com/Purely-Functional-Structures-Chris-Oka...

I would be really tempted if I can find a computer capable of running it on the cheap (student). I think my current desktop may work, if I remove the video card and use the integrated graphics...

Most of these seem possible and some of them are really creepy take this for example [1], first off that would be unmanagable list, allready exists (dating services, tinder, etc) and is presented in a very dodgy way. [1] "27. Be able t

I don't think I could code first thing in the morning. I am still booting then, perhaps related to option 2 too. I do like the concept thou, just can't see how to make it reality for myself

Is it still being used in new projects, is there any likely hood of one (or more) being used in Curiosity?

And ESR being the guy attempting to move projects away from Bazaar is unrelated to that

Not waiting for your current VCS to bitrot is probably a good idea (assuming bzr dying isn't massive hyperbole)

It is more in the lineage of puns and odd coincidences (not quite right, but something better is escaping me)
