I have found this interesting for debugging, but also fun to hear web pages

Things I Learnt The Hard Way (in 30 Years of Software Development)

34 minute read
Published: 2019-06-10

This is a cynical, clinical collection of things I learnt in 30 years working with software development.

Again, some things are really cynical, others are long observations on different jobs.

2. Wolfram Mathworld — Like wikipedia, but only for Math. Go here when you have no idea what an "Isotopic Kernel is or why you would care. Mathworld will give you 80+ entries that are linked.

Reader Macros in Common Lisp

This post also appears on lisper.in.

Reader macros are perhaps not as famous as ordinary macros. While macros are a great way to create your own DSL, reader macros provide even greater flexibility by allowing you to create entirely new syntax on top of Lisp.

Paul Graham explains them very well in [On Lisp][] (Chapter 17, Read-Macros):

The three big moments in a Lisp expression's life are read-time, compile-time, and runtime. Functions are in control at runtime. Macros give us a chance to perform transformations on programs at compile-time. ...read-macros... do their work at read-time.
