I've had three programming jobs out of school and have never had that experience. Though, others in the same positions have shared the same experiences as you. This leads me to bel…

I don't think anyone is arguing that none of these technologies exist, but saying that the average person shouldn't be overly concerned with any of this. I don't really care if com…

The higher-education system is in trouble the way I see it. I was a business major (Management) and spent ~5 hours each week on average (5 courses/semester) and graduated with dece…

Up/down arrows are not synonyms for agree/disagree but are supposed to reward people for providing valuable additions to the conversation. Too many times have I seen people downvot…

Well, I had an idea for a web application that I'd otherwise create in Python. I figured I'd use Lisp to get some experience using it (also, my AI class next semester uses Lisp). W…

I'm just beginning my road down the path of learning Lisp. My plan for learning is: 1. Read the Practical Common Lisp chapters which introduce Lisp features. 2. Write a web applica…
