Hah, that's good! At first I thought you'd typoed "Murphy" and expected to see a Wikipedia-style 404Wodin wrote:Have you heard of Muphry's LawJasper wrote:Hi.

Re: Spammers
My only concern with this is that the automatic moderation of newbie posts could lead to poor findinglisp being overwhelmed with a backlog of awaiting-moderation posts by both legitimate newbies and spammers, but it sounds like the traffic isn't high enough for that yet.

Re: General question about Garbage Collection
Since many different Language-Interpreters and other software uses Garbage-Collectors, and since Garbage Collectors usually produce Overhead, running more of them can make a System slower. For example, when running a Java VM, perl and SBCL for example, at the same time, on a small VPS, etc., any of...

Re: What's your favorite book about Lisp?
Hi folks, about Practical Common Lisp I'm going through the book I'm currently reading chapter 13 and I wonder why this is considered to be a great book, so far it hasn't conveyed any original idea about programming and it seems to be just a boring list of lisp functions without going into any deta...

Re: A procedure to extract atoms from a list
Could you tell me a little more about that flatten function? He means: (flatten (a b (c d) (e f (c d b)))) -> (a b c d e f c d b) Then you can remove duplicates from the list (by default, it'll keep the first occurrence I think, and you can specify the direction anyway). I don't see any reason to s...

Re: A "declare" form returned by macro
When you use packages and suggestive names for functions and variables, the whole Java world begins to look like this: http://paulgoscicki.com/pictures/static-typing.gif :) I have to say that Common Lisp's package management feels quite cumbersome for a newbie (or maybe the tutorial I picked back t...

Re: How to start programming in LISP
Does it not simply mean that the file was closed successfully? (let form evaluates to its last subform, which is (close in), so that returns T (I presume is the emacs lisp equivalent of #t in Common Lisp, i.e. true)... right?)

Re: Spammers
Looks like spammers (like this one ) are hitting the board - there's probably a captcha in the registration page; I can't remember... but it's probably still worthwhile for a human spammer to fill in a captcha once, then unleash a bot with the new account. How about adding a captcha when submitting ...
