A year ago I made a version I call "Chromacline". Multiple populations of different colors duke it out. My implementation runs it on computers and phones without needing a browser. https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel

As the author of OP, I just want to say thanks for the comment. I don't disagree with any of it. I was experimenting with incendiary headlines 10 years ago when I wrote it, but perhaps a less incendiary headline is that others misinter

Part of my point was even if there was not an obvious place to put it, the mechanical place to put it is at the end ! That's what I consistently did in the project I cited. So I wasn't arguing for people to agonize endlessly abou

When I wrote OP I was thinking of html rendering as just another form of typesetting. Basically any method of reading something at a different place than your text editor. So markdown it itself is fine, but if you generate html from it and

You're describing staged learning -- and the example at the bottom of my OP is trying to demonstrate exactly that. My https://akkartik.name/post/wart-layers describes the mechanism in more detail for starting from

As people repeatedly say in trying to rebut my OP, it's important not to cherry-pick examples. I try to be careful to find the best examples when criticizing. In that spirit, here's a couple of examples from https://cs.

I think it's not fair :) that you quoted from that comment here without pointing out my sentence in the immediate response: > I absolutely think literate programs are a strict improvement on non-literate ones. The whole article is a

The power point is not true. Game engines are forced to be efficient and can use little power if the number of game objects they're managing is limited. The power usage I see is: web browser running a document << game engine runn

I'd pay $10 in a heartbeat if Kagi reliably used all my search keywords. But they don't, and I don't understand it. Just use all my words except stop words. I took the trouble to type them in. I don't care if your covera

Yeah, I had to look closely as well to figure out what this was saying. The core reasoning seems to be this one sentence: "Printed books are a zone of resistance against the neon god of the algorithm since tinkering with code can’t del

There's a variety of reasons to do it, and I didn't really plan it out in advance, but over the last couple of years I've found myself gradually transitioning my digital life to thick-client mode. I've been thin-client p
