Either way, it's time to switch lightweight frameworks. better still, time to write a new one from scratch

rotor posted:that would have been so rad i dunno. html and css in many ways nicer than raw ps/pdf or even tex. using print stuff for interaction feels like more skeuomorphism at work. we don't have pages any more we have a screen we poke at. (nb, css/html are still terrible at lots of things) just imagine the fun we could have if we were using forth instead of javascript. *this website is optmized for us-letter* that said, you can do hyperlinks in pdf, so you could probably build a website out of a bunch of pdf files instead of html.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:this is why common lisp is dead i thought this was because it is a terrible language used by terrible people. it's a community filled with savant auteurs each dictating their own perfect microcosm, struggling to come to terms with the dissonance between being perfect and being successful. you see it in terms like 'the blub paradox' and 'worse is better', übermensch asing why all these wrong people seem to make things that work. it isn't that lisp is a bad language. it is just now we have movable type and we don't need monks and illustration to write down ideas. tef fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Dec 4, 2012 |

tef posted:i thought this was because it is a terrible language used by terrible people. it's more the "perfect microsm" than anything else as a hobby matter, i once tried to write a GTK+ application in CL
as with all CL libraries, the library auteurs considered them "finished" whenever their personal application worked and never touched them again the "blub paradox" and "worse is better" thinking comes from helpful, thoughtful people on comp.lang.lisp who do not seem to understand why their community cannot grow, so they work on essays every CL user is an island an island of half-working code edit: if you doubt me, just search cliki for *any* problem space. at any given time, for n active users, common lisp has no fewer than n+1 published libraries http://cliki.net/Database http://cliki.net/MIME http://cliki.net/URI Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Dec 4, 2012 |

(nb, css/html are still terrible at lots of things) css didn't exist when html was invented, id assume the same arc would have been followed for its development, if it'd gained traction. the page size thing is a red herring, look at all those lovely 300px wide single column layouts you see everywhere. people who aren't programmers generally hate automatic layout.

what are some good books on sql/database design? at the interview i had, they were talking about postgres which i really have no familiarity with outside of the fact that heroku uses it and does the setup for you with rake migrations. i know there are other options which i was talking to people in irc about (mysql, mssql, etc), but postgres seems pretty popular right now. i also hear that clean code is a really good book so i might pick that up at some point.

i use postgres at my work and I learned everything I needed to know by just reading their online docs. If you don't know about SQL at all thats a different story tho (although they do have some baby tutorials iirc)
