This came up on a slack of which I'm a member. I've heard of some companies here and there who have less than 40 hour weeks for their entire staff (googling for them reveals a few). And I know individuals who have been at a company who have done it for a short time or a while. But is there a list of US based companies that offer a 4 day work week or less? I did some googling and didn't find much.

Are LinkedIn's affiliates looking at this data? Who are they sharing it with? I'm hoping to publicize this enough that someone at LinkedIn takes notice.

Ask HN: Would Spreadsheets with Lisps be much more powerful?
23 by sarvasvkulpati | 13 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a CS freshman who got obsessed with lisps after using Scheme in my intro class. Tangentially, as a side project, I made a spreadsheet to learn how their update mechanism worked[0]. For the formula language, I implemented a basic lisp that does math expressions. That got me wondering- would making a fully functional lisp the formula language add substantial power to spreadsheets? Of course, macros add power to anything, but I'm wondering if there's specifically new interactions that would be possible with sheets using a lisp as opposed to, say, JS. An initial idea was being able to call (apply A1 B1) to apply a procedure from one cell to another, but that's not the most groundbreaking concept. Hence the question to those of you who understand lisps more than I do. p.s: Not a pro. Go easy on me HN! [0]: https://ift.tt/3pJvGek

I'm a CS freshman who got obsessed with lisps after using Scheme in my intro class. Tangentially, as a side project, I made a spreadsheet to learn how their update mechanism worked[0]. For the formula language, I implemented a basic lisp that does math expressions.
