2 actually, running behind pound. I had a few more running on a couple of virtual slices on slicehost. But I recently got rid of them as SBCL has some issues with Xen.

I had similar issues. But I find that the simplest way to get around them is to use VMWare or Parallels, depending on what your emacs is running on. Run Lisp inside the OS of your choice and connect to it using Slime. If you don't use Slime

well we don't have to do that. Though this isn't the same test as what you propose. This guy has compared many different web frameworks. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6297126166376226181 I think the reason the LOC count is signi

I think he's trying to advertise his framework and scala. He doesn't care about the idea.

Yes, I am exaggerating. I would call this three lines. As there are 3 constructs here. A million lines of Perl, was maintaining that part of the job description?

I think continuations is an advantage if you don't use ajax. When you use Ajax, continuations in a web framework aren't needed. This has been my experience with the last two web applications I've written using CL and UCW.

The only way most companies can measure people is by the amount of time that they put in. So if one is not at the office it can be very hard for the manager to work out how much people are worth. This is because most managers can't work out

Another one would be beans on toast. Not the hienz variety. Buy nice beans cannelloni, broad or borlotti in a can (look for the one stored in water) a clove of garlic chopped, some parsley with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on medium

I'd also add beans and some seeds which can be used as grains (assuming you are going veg). Amaranth, Quinoa and spelt. Have more protein than most meats. The sugar than you talk about is good for you. The problem is with refined sugar, wh

Steamed white rice takes 15 minutes to cook on the hob. Here is how I cook it, its simple and never fails. You will need a pan (preferably heavy bottomed) with a lid (as we are going to steam the rice for the last 10 minutes). Palm full of

I've always felt that they behave like VCs i.e. want a lot of control (hence the 50%) but only want to invest money like an angel. The weird thing is that given the amount of money they invest and the number of deals they do, they possibly

Is it just me or do all of them sound a bit pompous. Maybe the problem is that they are trying to explain something in words which is better explained in a demo.

AWK is no where near as complicated as perl. It'll probably take someone 1/2 hour to figure it out.

This applies more to lisp than perl. More likely to be unemployed if you only know lisp. Not many companies use lisp. A lot of them use perl (though this is changing to ruby and python).

In "Growing the business" Paul Hawken says that if people tell you that something is a great idea then it is to late. It means that it already exists that is why the people who think its a great idea could recognize it in the first place. S

Isn't it nice that he offered some money back? I think this is unprecedented, I don't remember any company lowering prices in retrospect.
