Could you please stop banning all of my HN accounts?
The first 1k words of my Lisp book are up at https://gist.github.com/shawwn/06812ce37e4dbd49abab277aa836e.... Hopefully the submission will be welcome when it's ready. "Welcome" would include "being able to respond to comments," which is the main concern.
The hardest part is to know what to cut, or whether it's even interesting. It's also daunting trying to measure up to any work that came before. Most people won't give honest feedback, and there aren't many places to post Lisp topics.
I'm extending you a gesture of trust by asking you like this. I could have kept this account a secret. I'm also posting this in a collapsed comment thread, so it shouldn't damage the site. There is no reason to ban this account or to impose a rate or ranking limit.
If this account meets the same fate as all the rest, then (a) I have no idea what your goals are, and (b) I give up trying to change your mind. But at least I'm trying.
It might be worth mentioning who Dave House is, as I certainly didn't know the name. To quote his bio at the Computer History Museum:
Dave House began his career in 1965 as a computer designer at Raytheon Computer and Communications Division. In 1968 he joined Honeywell Computer Control Division and in 1972 became director of computer development at Microdata. In 1974, House joined Intel Corp., and in 1978 became general manager of the company's Microcomputer Components Division. Over the next 13 years he lead the organization that developed the company's leading microprocessor product line, including the 386, 486, Pentium and Pentium II Processors, and grew that business from $40M to $4B per year. He also managed the team that developed the highly successful “Intel Inside” marketing program; the words “Intel Inside” were his.
After Intel, he went into networking, becoming the Chairman/CEO of Bay Networks, President of Nortel Networks, and Chairman/CEO of Allegro Networks. Currently he's Chairman of Brocade.
