Ask HN: Best Lisp for software development?
22 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 :)

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Recommendations for AI generated music software?

Ask HN: Recommendations for AI generated music software?
7 by andrewstuart | 6 comments on Hacker News.
It's surprisingly hard to find a solution for these simple requirements: I want to create AI generated to use as soundtracks on videos - so there must be no question about royalties or copyright I want to be able to specify how long the music should go for. I want to be able to save the music. It would be great if I could have some control over the pace/style of the music but I'm not a musician so lots of options would be detrimental. I don't want to compose music - I want it made for me. I'm happy to pay, but the prices must be clear and up front and not require me to email the company to "make an enquiry". I've done a fair bit of searching but not found anything to make AI music that meets these needs. It's strange given there is so much interest in AI I would have thought there would be plenty of good products available to buy. Ideally I'd like to make music such as ambient music, similar to Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, Phillip Glass, but it would be great just be able to explore a range of types of music to find what I want. Can anyone recommend any good AI music generators?

For the past several years I've been putting in a lot of time into learning and sharing people skills (without the bullshit). I'm interested in skills from dealing with your own emotions, through communication with close co-workers to high-stakes negotiating. I'm curious: what are some people skills that you wish you had learned earlier in your career or that you wish your co-workers had easier access to? Also: what are your favorite books and/or other resources that helped you?

Ask HN: Why is Google search different on mobile Firefox compared to Chrome?
3 by 1drr | 0 comments on Hacker News.
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?
