They concentrate on algorithms. Good for them. That is how it should be taught.

That's exactly it. Saying that learning a new language is just a matter of learning a new syntax is like saying that an English-speaking, non-German speaker could translate a German text to English by taking a German-English dictionary and

I've noticed that the most effective way to get a programming project finished is to just let everything else slide for a few weeks: paying bills, exercising, being social. Probably not a very healthy way to live in the long run, though.

Right now I'm in the middle of a study group that I started here at work. We're studying Graham's book "ANSI Common Lisp" and studying inference in particular, so we're also covering some of "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programmin

Sarosh, Thanks! I know about Csound, but I've never actually used it. Lately I've been playing around with Common Music, which is written in Lisp and has a Lisp API. Now that Mathematica supports MIDI, I want to do some music programming i

Here's an article I wrote on the same topic: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-camusic/ They did an excellent job with WolframTones. Mathematica is a powerful language.

Eric Raymond is an excellent writer and you can't go wrong reading this article. Also, learn how to do mathematical proofs. I don't know what the best way to do this is. I learned from 10th-grade Euclidean geometry class. Maybe you can p

Actually, I take back my statement that this is not set-theoretic union. If I'm willing to accept '(a a) as representing the set '(a) when I use it as an input to union, I should be just as willing to accept '(a a b) as representing the set

by paul_reiners 18y ago
Yes, you're right. The fact that they leave the behavior of union in this case undefined in the standard is surprising to me. The fact that SBCL and GNU CLISP implement it the way they do is just bizarre to me.

I'm not sure, but I think you need to use labels, rather than flet, in this case, since local functions defined using flet cannot be recursive. At least that's how I interpret what it says on page 319. At any rate, this solution works usin
