New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Best Lisp for software development?
Ask HN: Best Lisp for software development?
24 by foobar123321 | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HNers, I've built a lot of software in Python and Ruby over the years and recently, I've become interested in Lisp but am unsure which Lisp/Scheme variant to learn for building production grade software. Ideally, I would like to learn the most modern one i.e. robust package management, tooling, ecosystem, etc. Really the main requirement is that I would like to be able to build production ready software with a Lisp that I can use at and for my company. I've looked into Clojure and like a lot about it, but don't want to have to dig into the Java world. Is there any alternative out there? Any suggestions are appreciated :)

For instance the Images tab is quite degraded and different in Firefox (Can't swipe picture), I also noticed that some widget apps like soccer matches are degraded. try typing "Barcelona matches" in both browsers and notice how degraded the matches widget is in Firefox compared to chrome (For instance the matches are clickable in Chrome but not in Firefox). There are other examples that I can't remember right now, I am sure of it. I also noticed that AMP isn't available in Firefox, though I am not a fan of AMP, I still find it weird that it's not available, considering Google's motives behind AMP, which is to improve user experience, allegedly. Isn't this a bit anti competitive and alarming?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: I'm trying to represent an entire building as a graph
Ask HN: I'm trying to represent an entire building as a graph
3 by li4ick | 0 comments on Hacker News.
This entire graph would have to represent every entity in the building, including the control nodes. It's an IoT graph, where a node may represent the light switch, connected to a particular desk(also a node). This graph should also show directions from one entity to another. For now, I have a photoshop pipeline which generates a simplified graph from a color coded image, using NetworkX. This is a temporary replacement for when the actual BIM comes along. But the graph remains. Are there any libraries out there that would help me or should I just roll my own system? I'm not sure I would like to add Neo4J to the stack. Storing everything to Postgres seems to work fine. It's the in memory representation that I have problems with.
