punkman: "At least, if you pay Apple’s premium for Apple design, you do get more design
than you get from Microsoft, Google and other laptop manufacturers. It’s not design created in your interest or for your convenience, but
there certainly is plenty of it."

mircea_popescu: empted
to set up some formats for writing a manual. When
that produced something pleasant
to look at, it occurred
to me
that I should just make a whole manual about MACLISP."
mircea_popescu: During all of
this, I picked up a lot of
trivia about
the MACLISP language, which was not very well-documented. David Moon had written a manual a few years earlier, but it was out of date and featured primarily
the Honeywell Multics implementation of MACLISP, not
the PDP10 implementation. Also, as it happened, Don Knuth had just come out with
TEX
typesetting language and I was looking for possible uses for it, so I att
mircea_popescu: I spent nearly all of my hours at
the Lab, often
to
the detriment of my class work, which is why I
took 5 years
to graduate. During my
time
there, I worked mostly for credit, only very occasionally for
tiny amounts of money—about $5 per hour for a small number of hours a week programming MACSYMA, as I recall. Most of my
time was as a volunteer, and in
that
time I did some additional work on MACSYMA but also some pers
mircea_popescu: , I immediately went
to
the several other undergraduates working on
the same project and said, “they don’t know we’re not supposed
to have offices.” But soon we all did have offices, or at least desks in offices with dedicated VT52
terminals atop
them. My office was shared with Guy Steele, co-inventor of
the SCHEME programming language, and JonL White, author and maintainer of
the MACLISP compiler.
mircea_popescu: "ne day while working with
the MACSYMA group, I was around when someone was assigning offices—or desks, really, since offices were generally shared. “Where is mine?” I asked, somewhat jokingly. As far as I knew, only graduate students were entitled
to offices.
The person doing
the arranging didn’t realize I was joking and responded in seriousness
that he didn’t know and would
try
to find one for me. Of course

the point of

There is no intent

mircea_popescu: "Someone once claimed
to me
that
the problems with standards work is
that
the process is so exhausting
that no one who ever finishes
the
task wants
to
try another, so everyone involved is always brand new and no knowledge ever propagates from cycle
to cycle.
This isn’t literally
true, but
there is still some
truth
to it." << and
