I found the "Little Schemer" an enjoyable tour on exorcizing the power of lisp. Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go there are a plethora of information in vari…

I've been using FreeBSd since 4.x. I'm assuming your referring to video drivers and the xwindowing system which is non operating system specific. I should remind you that this is a…

I'm not. No need to fix what is not broken.

Shouldn't it be "A free letter to RMS" =) I have a feeling Dr. Stallman remembers EGCS, xemacs and much more. What's the old BSD saying "Shut up and hack!" ... amusing s/eliza/M-x …

Ah neural nets though the representation of term rewrite in form of a recursion theory of finite automata with respect to constraint based back-propagation to derive an inductive h…

Charlie? Charlie Root? Charlie??!?!... is that you?

s/marketing plan/engineer/g Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn. Then always be a unicorn.

We need more of that! Wow they had everything back then ... down to the traps and pitfalls and utilizes the minimum resources for working engineer. Funny thing they couldn't expres…

I curious their philosophy (less is more?). I used dwm for a bit and still use a personally hacked inspired from dwm console derived dvtm, also by Marc iirc. If their going towards…

I grew up with the one which didn't have the letter 'm' in it. The lisp/scheme concept could be seen as an alternative to vim/script for embedding/extending where the opt-in was me…

Sort of a lisp 1.5 with scheme style syntax. They could opt in within the rc file to allow users not interested to ignore it. Would be closer to the original vi then.

The little books are great for a beginner.

BSD is the implementation to the networking stack.

This is sad.

Lean C when you need to grok how memory works in computing. Learn Scheme to grok the science of computing. Learn BSD when you want to understand operating systems and the network s…

I enjoyed the article. Your connection your looking for is with Stephen Cole Kleene who also a student of Church just like Turing.

It was used to bootstrap it. Sounds like real work to me.

Consider a dynamic language to get a grounding on the abstaction. OOPS concepts make more sense in those especially if your doing windowing and graphics. May be worth it to look at…

If he said it I believe it. I don't worry so much about Matz and the Ruby core committers breaking things.

Yeah UNIX philosophy rocks! It's weird that they want a system shell and it not be POSIX. I don't need support for index arrays in a system shell interpreter. Even erlang can be a …
