Lambda the Ultimate

I can see the big red XML box on the top left, but I don't see an RSS feed for the forum or recent posts. Does such a thing exist?

Would it make sense for LtU to have a section where people can put pointers to their resumes and open job positions? I've seen a few discussion boards that do this, and I think it's a great idea to help get the right people together. My employer is looking to hire some bright people to add to my project right now. I'd like to think that a lot of the folks at LtU would make great office mates, and I believe the work we're doing would interest at least some of the people around here.

God bless,

the forum topics sidebar doesn't seem to be reflecting current posts.

Been a while since I've updated my archive index - specifically since the demise of manilla back in late June. This site is easier to index, but still I like to have access to all the thread titles on a single page. Index includes both the original archive index, as well as the new site.

• Sorted By Date
• Sorted By Title

In the process of doing this, I've cleared off all the original archive pages from my website. Our host has them available on the this website via the Archive. Makes more sense to have all the pages on our main site, rather than multiple copies floating around (even though I put norobot meta tags in them).

For some reason, it seems like we've been moved longer than the 3-4 months that have actually elapsed. Thanks to Anton again for the home.

I find that if I don't visit LtU for a few days, it forgets my identity.

This is very strange. The cookie I obtained a few days ago (previous visit) is supposed to be good until mid December, it says.

I use Mozilla 1.4.2 on linux. I have checked that in the settings it does not impose extra restrictions on cookie lifetimes.

hi,

my google-fu is failing me. there's a discussion from way back where frank discusses what types are with someone who, maybe incorrectly, i think is involved with game design. this other person argued type theory was based on sets (i can't remember the full argument), frank that category theory was a better approach.

i realise that this could describe an awful lot of discussions, but this was a particularly detailed exchange and it was fairly early on in the site's history.

does this ring bells with anyone else? any pointers? thanks.

a while back, in the last days of userland, there was some discussion about putting advertising on this site to help pay for hosting, upkeep, etc.

i don't know where or how the site is hosted now, but even if it's in a forgotten corner of some kind company or institution's server, it seems to me that there would be no harm if the people involved in maintaining this site (not me, in case you're suspicious ;o) made a tiny profit. especially if it adds something to the site.

anyway, i'm mentioning this now not because i have a sudden desire to see google textads on every page, but because i've been looking at the amazon associates program. they pay a commission for any purchase made via certain links (so you provide a link saying "buy this book from amazon" that people click on). i was kind-of hoping i could become an associate, recommend books to myself, and then buy them at a discount. strangely enough, that seems to be against the conditions. so i then thought "well, who would i want that commission to go to, if i can't have it...?"

if this seems at all sensible, go to amazon, click on the "help" link and then type "associates" in the search box.

seems to me you could start with a page of classics, add a forum where people recommend new titles, and take it from there...

Every time I post, regardless of the thread, I end up on the "Erlang the Movie" thread page.

Surely that's not because we think it is the most interesting discussion here, is it? ;-)

The new Recent Posts page looks good, but it doesn't show some topics, like for example the Morrow & First-class labels topic.
