Links to 'ask hn' posts are broken (link to 'Ask Pg about hackers and painters' leads to: http://www.hackrnews.com/comments/2982185 ) . Nice concept though!

Here is a list of succesful companies using Allegro Common Lisp: http://www.franz.com/success/ [Note: I don't know if it's up-to-date and how significant is actually common lisp in those companies codebases.] Also as a side note, Reddit i

The problem here is I think that the style 'you like' may not be what you actually need. If it was that easy, there would be no need to articles telling you how to find a good designers. I agree that buzzword are not the best metric ever, i

Is it possible to stop new accounts from submitting new stories, maybe at least until they are 24h old? It seems that amount of spam on new is increasing and each of spammers is a newly created account.

It is worth noting that there are a few other paradigms that can change the way you think of programming - recently there was a post providing a good overview of languages that will make you learn some new abstractions, functional programmi

I am happy about the 'demise of low level programmer'. Why? Because for me programming is more about algorithms/data structures than circuits, microprocessors and caches. I am happy that I didn't have to write mouse handlers, keyboard handl

To make it clear - you could replace lisp with erlang/haskell/forth and it still would be sad. I am still student and I see that many people who are still in college (so their programming habits are relatively new and shallow) are reluctant

By the way, you could update your jobs offers - ie the part that you write Erlang, which it seems is not true anymore. I don't get why you put that info there in the first place if you had only one piece or erlang code, which you removed in

Finally, we use a few stateful, global data structures to track incoming requests and funnel them off to the right backend queues. In Erlang, the right way to do this is to spawn off a separate set of actors to manage each data

Could you elaborate on what kind of stupid things can you do when doing math? What to avoid, etc.?

I think that word 'learn' may mean 2 entirely different thing, and that's why the op may be confusing for some people. We can think of learning as improving your skills in one area, or we can think of it as exploring possibilities. For exam

I hoped for some interesting read, instead the article could be summed up in 3 sentences: Python, Ruby and Scriptol were created by starting with ergonomic study and user survery. Java, C# and Scala by repeating old habits of some programme

I've downloaded this guy's resume ( http://googlepleasehire.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Resume... ) and while I'm aware he's doing something that I don't know much about, I am puzzled by the 'technology' thing in his skills chart. Can som

Yes, the major should be (C E G). (C Eb F#) looks like a C dimnished, though I think it would be better written as (C Eb Gb).

I remember reading about similar phenomenon concerning colours - people who have one word for red and purple in their language treat them as same colour; I can't find a link to those information provided in concise manner on this topic. How

Something like 1TBS style. I it is quite popular among my friends and different to both K&R and Allman. You could add it to the poll, since there are few votes at the moment and bias won't be too big.

6x28h doesn't seems unreasonable to me (but it seems that daylight could be an issue), I wouldn't call it polyphasic however - for me this term covers multiple naps of 30min during one day. My point was that I didn't recall any accounts tha

What data are you talking about? As far as I know it seems that polyphasic is a popular hoax, just as 'we use only 10% of our brain power' - popular but fake. Dr Piotr Wozniak, who seems to know a bit about sleep deals with it in few articl

The column approach seems to make things clunky to me. From my viewpoint it would be better to see flagged posts grayer - just as comments with negative points, possibly with setting threshold in preferences (since it would be quite stupid

I do it rarely - once in a 2 weeks I think - but if I do I do the first thing (flag bad posts, vote good). I think that how often you visit 'new page' has some significance in this poll, too.

At the moment I am still in college but I'd be happy to go there when I finish my degree. I don't think I'd like to spend there my whole life though - optimally, I'd like to stay there a few years and then go try something different, like a

Concurrent programming (#3) is covered in most CS courses, as well as studying some theoretical areas (#4). Many universities seem to also include courses that include both writing some level stuff (#1) (like OS course) and writing at least

Of all those books, I've read only 'Introduction to Algorithms' (well, not whole, but parts of) and I wouldn't call it bad. It was a bit tough (but I may be biased, since I was reading it in highschool and it was one of first 'technical' te

I wonder if human-driven car will become minority of vehicles in next 30 years. If the technology will be affordable and good enough, this seems like a probable scenario. Also it could be possible that driverless cars will reduce traffic ja

I think you are touching on an important issue here; there are tens of post like the OP, but few people actually think about taking time to reevaluate your goals. People often have trouble realising what they really want and struggle with '

While PE is great keyboard exercise and includes many cool puzzles, I think it is bad way of rewiring your brain for functional thinking. Unless you'll do some exercises that explicitly require new ways of thinking (and read something), you

If you need functional background, you could try SICP - there is also a clojure version being developed. I took an Ocaml course on my uni 'strongly inspired' by SICP and I must say that it pretty much rewired my brain for functional.

Series, sequences, polynomial coefficient are indexed starting with zero. All of them are rather often used and important.
