Hi all,

Younger dev here I’ve been reading the SICP book and also blog posts about Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp and I’m fascinated by the culture during its heyday (e.g. Symbolics era). But I didn't find more anecdotes besides the one here about how in the 1990s a piece of Germany’s air traffic control software ran on Emacs.

I’d love to hear about the programs you used to deal with and overall what tasks you think Lisp excelled in.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! 😊

I'd love to ask for some advice from parents in our community.

As more families have been visiting us for energy healing sessions, I've been thinking about how to make our waiting area as comfortable, welcoming, and low-stress as possible for children (including those who may be neurodivergent or have sensory sensitivities).

If you've ever taken your child to a wellness appointment, doctor's office, or similar space, what little things made the experience easier? And what do you wish more places would do?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I really appreciate it. ❤️

Hi everyone,

I'm a programmer so you know the story: computer science + math classes in school, truth must be science-backed, etc.

Obviously my views have changed and I really wish I had started on this wonderful journey earlier.

I have met such wonderful people who have helped me be at peace with myself and my surroundings.

Today for fun I decided to look up Reiki on a website called Hacker News, which is where most nerds get their tech news etc. Surprisingly, I saw tons of positive comments about it.

This is the important part, but I'll link the thread too:

> > The ailments that Reiki seems to treat most effectively are those that orthodox medicine struggles to manage: pain, anxiety, chronic disease, and the fear or discomfort of facing not only the suffering of illness but also the suffering of treatment. > > This is key. > > Modern medicine, with the way hospitals and health insurance are run, do not and cannot address, for economic reasons, a pretty important aspect, albeit subjective, which is well-being. > > The figure of the family doctor that takes his time and actually shows you attention has vanished. The average experience of a hospital visit is that of being treated like a number.

I'm talking about normal people like social media users, not businesses who need an online presence.

I read this question on another forum:

> With the platformization of anyone creating content or stuff - it seems like it matters less that I have a site and more that I have a YT channel or a TikTok presence (NEVER!) What are your thoughts? How are websites helping you (or not)?

I'd like to think most people do see websites as relevant and cool, but also something complicated done by techies and not just anyone. It's clear people want to share their thoughts all the time, from personal videos to posts on substack, twitter, tumblr, etc.

The desire to "broadcast yourself" (to use YouTube's old slogan) hasn't disappeared, but maintaining a website's infrastructure is a project in and of itself beyond writing / sharing pictures / videos.

Hola, ando buscando un lugar donde vendan buena paella. Antes íbamos a Toñicos, pero acabo de ver que ya lo cerraron.

Busco a alguien con experiencia en redes sociales para ayudar a definir la dirección visual y de contenido de las redes de un negocio de bienestar holístico.

¿Qué se necesita?

**•**	Asesoría sobre cómo debería verse y sentirse la presencia en Instagram y Facebook (Instagram es prioridad).  
**•**	Apoyo para convertir en contenido coherente los videos que ya recibimos del cliente (ya vienen traducidos/subtitulados).  
**•**	Entre 4 y 8 publicaciones para un lanzamiento inicial.  
**•**	Cuentas ya existen, pero están muy nuevas. Es más definir el rumbo que empezar de cero.

Detalles:

**•**	Proyecto único por ahora, con posibilidad de volverse mensual si funciona bien.  
**•**	Trabajo 100% remoto.  
**•**	Pago: $60–90 USD (\~1,100–1,700 MXN), a negociar según experiencia y portafolio.

Interesados, mandar mensaje con portafolio o ejemplos de trabajo anterior.

Just the stupidest interaction at work today lol. I used to have Apple but not anymore and this dude had the gall to say it’s not for girls bc it’s not easy!!
