Ah. I see what you're saying. I thought you were proposing to replace paper with AR ("this desk is now a screen", etc) Trying to channel the researchers at Dynamicland, I think the answer would be that they aren't invest

The benefit of physical objects (like paper) is that you don't need to simulate reality in AR. Using physical objects lets you discover things that you wouldn't have otherwise with simulation. One of the neat things about the pape

Ah, fair point. The main difference is that the games I was playing were not explicitly designed for grey scale. If I had been playing on a GameBoy emulator, I wouldn't have even noticed!

Setting my phone to gray scale didn't "cure" me from my smartphone addiction. But it did help. In particular, games stopped being fun to play. I just finished up one week of only carrying an LTE Apple Watch as a smartphone re

Yeah. You need the iPhone. It's primarily used to configure the watch, I also suspect that the iPhone proxies some of the requests to the phone, though I'm not sure. I just leave mine plugged in at home.

I've been wondering the same thing. At a high level, I've been thinking about making myself a "firewall for attention". Here's what I've done so far: Talk openly with friends and family about how much better my

I bought a Series 3 Apple Watch with LTE for this exact reason. I'm on day 5 of going phone-less and while it isn't a seamless transition, I expect to go without a phone for the foreseeable future. What works without a phone: - SM

Glad to hear it. I quit Facebook many months ago and I'm much happier as a result. I hope that you'll benefit from quitting as much as I have.

Fully agree, though I think that individual abstention is still important, if only fractionally so.

The same applies for Dynamicland. For example: I learned how to use the graphics system in Realtalk with a physical booklet that I could have taken home and studied. The booklet had the code printed out on it, as well as hand written annota

As I understand it, the dots are just a temporary measure while the team works on implementing better methods of detecting objects.

One of the ideas I heard people at Dynamicland mention is to have Realtalk project highlights over the dependencies (this would be possible because Realktalk is self hosting, all the code that runs Realtalk is printed on paper) In practice,

The "editor token" is also a program that Realtalk recognizes. It's just a small program that says "I am an editor named X" - you then point the token at the code you want to edit and then use a text editor to make

> If you edit a paper program, then won't the source on the paper be obsolete? Will that be indicated somehow? When a program is changed, Realtalk will print a red line over the lines that have been modified or removed. It looks a l

Right now, each piece of paper in Dymanicland is a program. You put a piece of paper down and it "runs" - the metaphor breaks down at this point though. With a little bit of code, anything in Dynamicland can become "alive&quo

By "JWT" do you mean the the format? (RFC 7519) Or perhaps you meant OpenID Connect? I can think of reasons for you to urge your clients to avoid JWT-the-format and certainly OIDC-the-standard. What do you suggest as the alternati
