Personally, this is the only thing so far that makes sense to me in the middle of all this mess. But who knows…

Other journals, e.g. Nature, already had this. It's not a Distil innovation. But I agree, this should be the norm in journals/confs/etc.

It's not the population size, but the number of times you run the evolutionary algorithm with different seeds.

That seems low for London since it's also a city with high living costs... Do they give any other extra benefits, or what about bonus/stock?

I wrote already some time ago a post about which books to read to learn F# (see http://jorgetavares.com/2015/01/01/reading-list-for-f-learni...). In the meantime there are a couple more (e.g., Deep Dives) which are also good.

Have you looked at http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ ? This site contains lots of useful information and would be enough to get started. Another possibility is to read a few books, e.g., Expert F# 3.0, F# Deep Dives.

No, Clozure Common Lisp is an implenentation of Common Lisp that runs on Windows, Linux and OSX. Clojure is a different language that targets the JVM and it's very different from Common Lisp.

Janis Common Lisp implementation is also very interesting. Moreover, it explains how to optimize CL code:

Clojure is a Lisp! From Clojure's website: "Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system".

This. I moved back to Safari because with Chrome it's so painful to do paper hunting. It's much easier and fast to skim over and then decide which ones to save and read.
Re:Land of Lisp is finally out...and has a music video.

Thanks for this wonderfull book! I have just bought the printed book with the pdf. Very very good!
This might be just the perfect companion to "Pratical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel. I always thought PCL is an excellent book for someone who already knows some Lisp. With these two books, I believe you really achieve a powerfull combo to start learning and using Lisp!
And the music is very cool too :-)

That extra code :-) First I wrote everything to manipulate a linked list and test it and then I wrote the reverse function. Since I wrote a insert at front function, the reverse function is small. I must add that I am not a fast typer.
