What Hacker News says?
It's that feeling of being in the zone, completely forgetting about tomorrow's worries. But how does one raise awareness of being in the zone? It is that consciousness that I believe is paramount. Training your consciousness by playing sports vs sitting in lotus is analogous to training your biceps by rowing vs biceps curls. The latter is more targeted, hence more effective. When you do what you love and you complet…

HN discussionI wrote an old (and verbose) blog [1] about why I think Lisp is very suitable for heavy science – in my case Operations Research. In fact, the algorithm powering routific.com is written in it. The key point is that if you were to map out different languages along the abstraction level, Lisp sits right in between the realms of low-level programming (e.g. Java) and modelling (e.g. Matlab). [2] EDIT: added link to the…
