> So it's really pick your poison; either the child controls the call, at the risk of doing it wrong or not at all, or it doesn't but then certain things become impossible. CL lets you do both in various ways: the typical way to define a constructor is an :AFTER method that just sets the slots (fields in other languages) of the object and having a lot of behavior in constructors is unusual. You can also define an... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

There are a bunch of things to learn from Lisp: * list processing -> model data as lists and process those * list processing applied to Lisp -> model programs as lists and process those -> EVAL and COMPILE * EVAL, the interpreter as a Lisp program * write programs to process programs -> code generators, macros, ... * write programs in a more declarative way -> a code generator transforms the description into... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

In respect to Common Lisp, you could look into "Common Lisp Recipes" by Weitz[2], and "Practical Common Lisp" by Seibel[1]. These are industrial-strength systems which were used to built large airline reservation systems. Scheme is in a way more minimalist and Schemes are not as large, but this might also be give an erroneous impression because they build on the enormous experience with Common Lisp and have boiled... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Not exactly what you asked for but, if you have time, I would recommend looking at Practical Common Lisp: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ And also this blog post (which is a much smaller time commitment): https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

If someone is considering learning CL effectively, take this piece of advice: use Emacs. You might think that it's an outdated piece of shit, maybe you hate RMS with a passion or whatever. But make yourself a favour and use it at least for the month that will take you to go through a manual like this or Practical Common Lisp or several others. Just install SBCL, QuickLisp, Emacs and SLIME (or Sly, that is a more... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Hey guys, I would need to know if anybody has had experiences with a lawyer that did subpoena Polonium, specifically the former US corporation Poloniex LLC in Boston, MA, USA. We need them to help us identifying the holder of a wallet hosted on their website back in 2017 because that wallet received stolen Bitcoins that belonged to us. I understand that some years ago they moved to Panama, but I believe that the... Source: over 1 year ago

It is crazy to think these scammers can still contact me after I have recovered my money from them. They used https://www.polex-pro.com/dist/#/ to contact me with the hope I would invest . Note that this is a clone of the main site https://poloniex.com/. I hope people out there know that www.polex-pro is a scam and clone of the original site poloniex.com . Source: almost 2 years ago

High-volume exchanges include Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitstamp and Poloniex. For small amounts, most reputable exchanges should work well. Source: about 3 years ago

I tried Poloniex, which again took too much fees for sending away coins, also their option to sell-to-fiat, was eventully a coin-send to Simplex which costed me 25€ in Bitcoins, plus additional 5€ for withdrawing my Fiat via SEPA. Source: about 3 years ago
