Just wanted to thank everybody for the discussion here. I was stuck on a project for a while now and avoided working on it, because I had a good excuse (learning math). I've had been cleaning up a mess of code that I've…
Please define "properly", at least regarding Linux. There is a performance hit under Linux, sure, but beyond that? I'm using Linux myself full-time, but for flash games I might even consider Linux irrelevant if there is…

How do you use your touchpad? I'm wondering this because I might be using the keyboard and touchpad in a different way than others, but naturally for me, as in: the path of least resistance. For scrolling, my right…
Indeed, although I'd be sighing as in this case, not be shocked. I wonder if it's just an illusion or if there really also is an influx in me-too submissions. Not that I'm judging any submission in particular, but there…
I suppose it's people being tired by the whole "hacker" hoopla, especially when people use the term to compare their e-peen, but also when the media confuses hackers with crackers. To me, the hacker/cracker thing is…
I'm late to the party again. To understand the importance of closures it might be interesting to look at this poster[1]. Look at the node in the top left that says "Functional programming". Every paradigm that descends…
Muy importante. :-) Late to the party here, but over at the other SICP-related thread that's on the frontpage right now I've linked to an updated version of SICP where an enthusiast has created a pdf with greatly…
Interesting; thank you for providing your perspective. Both books indeed share most of the topics, although from glancing at both TOCs HR seems to add Polynomials and Corecursion. I'll gladly keep this in mind should I…
An enthusiast has created an improved version[1] of SICP, free download available. Description: The typography has been modernized for better on-screen legibility and comfort. All the mathematics is set in proper TEX,…
Maybe the CTM book might be something for you as well. See my other comment[1] to learn more about it. Norvig says[2] the following about it: Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming (Van Roy &…

Nah, I'll read CTM (Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming)[1] first, as it addresses concurrency, for example, and seems to be easier to digest. CTM is viewed by some as a/the modern successor of SICP.…
Ah, I was bitten by not being a native-speaker. I've interpreted "hibernate" as the same thing my laptop does, when it hibernates. And cats do that all the time, right? ;-)

I can only speculate. :-) Maybe restricting the width to improve readability would yield suboptimal results in heavily nested threads. One might find out by manipulating the corresponding css attribute. Doesn't chrome…
Talking about stuff like this is bound to sound esoteric, I think. So I want to put this disclaimer upfront that I detest esotericism. I can only assume that your problems are similar to mine, so I can only suggest what…
If this page doesn't load for someone... just refresh. I've been getting a "page unavailable" response at first, but the link does, in fact, work.

Until then... :-) My suggestions: - Erlang: Erlang & OTP in Action - (Common) Lisp: Practical Common Lisp - this one can also be read online for free[1] Disclaimer: Haven't finished either of them but they've been…
