Can't seem to see this at work. Saving to see later at home.

Ditto. Code my own projects with little to no interruptions.

Obligatory joke. It was The Terminator.

Do not forget to post here when the book is released. I will be sure to buy it by then.

Isn't it a bit early for the 10.04 release? Like ... 6 months earlier? Where is 9.10?

I talk like that because one of my first assignment in College when learning C was exactly a program to calculate change. And the inherent floating point erro causes the said 0.01 …

He refers to the known floating point rounding error. You should not expect a 'new coder', as he put it, to trully understand floating point rounding errors because to understand i…

Wonder if they will do anything similar with the War game. The last players certainly also suffer an unfair advantage there.

I am gonna dive in. You can be sure of that. But I disagree with you when you say that there isn't all that much noise. The are currently hundreds of distros. All of them serve a p…

It is not a matter of software, but a matter of usability. Think of a Windows user only perspective. When installing a distro, you are confronted with the choice between X, KDE, Gn…

Some other games there are quite 'modernized' as well. SimCity being an example.

I don't really care if it is an acceptable Lisp when I decide if I will or will not learn something. :P BUT, I will use that excuse on my teacher on the Calculus class.

Java is not really my field. However, I have half a mind to learn F#.

I must have wasted years playing those games... Wonder how many of them are abandonware now?

CL on Lispbox is what I have now. Which means I use (use being a overstatement) e-Macs with a Lisp extension.

That's exactly what I am trying to do. but I am hearing all those omens about Lisp but I sense I need to understand it better before I dive myself into it. There is absolutely NO m…

It may not be for you, but it was for me in the beggining. I already went through 3 distros - Kurumin, Suse and Ubuntu, and the only reason I still have a Windows partition is to p…

And even though Scheme was designed to be clean and elegant, CL has to be backward compatible and thus cannot be 'cleaned', right?. Is there any 'cleaner' CL standard, or at least …

I never tried Scheme so you can assume I am talking about CL if that helps, but since I don't know the difference between them, the question is directed at both. In fact, if they a…

I know a little of Lisp. Not much, never went much far than 4th, maybe 5th chapter on PG's book. I did some exercises and I understand the power that Lisp brings. Maybe not fully, …

I am not sure about the heavy metal / classical music approach. There are many classical music that are very challenging by themselves, even more than some heavy metal songs (which…

Your reading comprehension is lacking. I didn't say intelligent. I said 'think faster', which is true: "Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) has been shown to increase in response to a …

If you want to do an interesting experience, doing sprints teach your brain to think faster (because it has to keep up with the information of your steps).

Play Go, Chess, Sudoku and Dual-N Back. Learn another language. Learn to play an instrument. All this can make you 'smarter'.

Flagged. Here hoping you are banned soon.
