Joe Marshall on how he uses Lisp at work, with a practical (and quite impressive) example
The Xerox PARC alumni who contribute to the Medley Interlisp project shared the buttons they collected at computing conferences in the 1980s and 1990s such as AAAI, IJCAI, SIGGRAPH.
The buttons are awesome and span a range of languages and systems such as Interlisp, Lisp Machines, Smalltalk, Unix, Modula-2, Mesa, Pilot, and more. Be sure to go through the whole thread.

What is the main way you access Medley Interlisp?
Lisp sucks. Tell me what's wrong here:
(DEFVAR x 0) ; GLOBAL BADNESS STAYS
(DEFUN dO-StuFf (NUMBer)
(LET ((rEsUlT 1))
(DECLARE (SPECIAL X)) ; THIS IS LEGAL HERE
(SETQ X NUMBER)
(TAGBODY
StaRT
(IF (< X 1) (GO ENDz))
(SETQ rEsUlT (* rEsUlT X))
(SETQ x (- x 1)) ; NOTE: STILL USING GLOBAL x INSTEAD OF LOCAL X
(GO StARt)
ENDz)
(pRiNt (lIsT 'FACtoRiAl-oF NUMBER 'iS rEsUlT))))
(DEFUN nOW-dO-AlL ()
(LET ((I 0))
(LOOP
(WHEN (> i 5) (RETURN))
(Do-sTUFF i)
(SETQ i (+ i 1)))))
(nOW-dO-AlL)
(define Shoshana
(lambda ()
(lambda ()
(lambda ()
(display "Shoshana")))))
(((Shoshana)))
I don't really understand why people are into all the extra lambdas.
#Discord is a terrible communication platform with all its distractions and malfeatures. I've used it to stay in touch with #lisp programmers that are not on IRC nor on fediverse. But today they've crossed the line - they've shown me an ad, an ad that has obfucaed the chat at that. I've disabled the account and not going to use it anymore. Good ridding I guess.
"your lack of capitalization hurts my eyes"
Should we upcase all #lisp code just on principle ?

@sacha I guess the RSS is https://communitymedia.video/feeds/videos.xml?accountId=216498&token=8cb5dc2f-82e7-4d3f-ad2c-95457f46b631 and I am going to put all the years there including your interviews... eventually. Might need to add subtitled/post-ex-facto video content.

This week we will talk about the Unix Philosophy and how it compares and contrasts with whatever one might call the “Emacs Philosophy.”
The impetus for the discussion is a series of blog posts by @ramin_hal9001 called “Emacs fulfills the UNIX Philosophy”:
…as well as a fascinating discussion that took place over this past week on ActivityPub on the topic of the Unix philosophy and history of Lisp on Unix in which some very knowledgeable people have contributed anecdotes and facts.

Enough with structure editors, Emacs, and vi. The One True Lisp Editor is clearly Nano.

Very good intro if you want to try out Common Lisp a bit.
