This paper talks about the history behind how "writing" code came to mean "typing" it. Originally, the very first programming notations were handwritten. Interestingly, they weren't called "languages" eith

The issue is that it's hard to determine who is considered "black" and who is not since race is a made-up fiction constructed by white supremacists that is now so engrained in American society we find it difficult if not impo

Implicit in this argument is an egocentric and individualistic viewpoint in universalizing how the author learned as "the future" a.k.a. the way everyone should learn. I don't fault the author for having this, many people do.

The issue is this dichotomy people keep fabricating between the “textual” and the “visual.” This makes it seem like one is “better” than the other for all time and we just need to get to the bottom of it. That distinction is made up and is

Paul Dourish reviews some work on this topic in his book Stuff of Bits, see pages 8-9: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/stuff-bits It's related to, but definitely not the same as, linguistic relativism. Programming

I did research on a speech-to-text-to-speech system, and lots of non-native English speakers were self-conscious of their speech and prefer text-to-speech that wasn't in the style of their original voice. Also, it's much simpler t

Given that FORTRAN was designed as basically rote translations from discrete math notation, it is deeply ironic that we now need to explain things in the opposite direction.

Bought mine a year ago, and love it. It’s fundamentally changed how I read and write —no more papers, easy to get PDFs and textbooks onto it through my Mac or phone. If you’re an academic and read a lot, it’s an invaluable way to do your ey

Writing a scholarly paper now that points this issue out in DynamicLand. DynamicLand is amazing but making the "old" paradigm the centre point of the new is a contradiction. I wonder if Bret Victor has thought about this bottlenec

Could just call it... normalization? There's already a word for that.

There's another study showing that students around you with laptops harm your ability to concentrate, even if you're not on a laptop yourself. This is in my opinion a stronger argument against laptops, because it harms those not p

Poor sap. Really, I think you can do both, but you have to supplement the education with actual experience (like travel, volunteering, and normal jobs) and not buy into the hocus-pocus businesstalk mumbo-jumbo. At least, if you want to be n

Thanks for this. I've been looking for Discrete Math lectures for a while.

Cannot agree more. Learning the tools is the only real challenge. Once you have sufficient background knowledge in CS, you understand more of the possibilities that your creative juices can draw from. I'm currently a joint CS/Fine Art major
