You've well captured a sentiment I feel when questions are phrased this way -- "can you sell me on X." Thanks for posting and showing me this. :)

But whatever that information space is could be called a language too, right?

I think React Native / Expo can be an opportunity to do this on a touchable interface. Here’s a thing: https://youtu.be/ZFdFyQBlXXU You can eval JS there.

Today’s equivalent could be to make the same thing again...

Haha yeah, Expo itself generally works on both iOS and Android, but this particular demo in Expo works on iOS only since it needs ARKit. Here's an edit of the demo to just use a standard THREE.js camera and scene and not an AR one: ht

Hey! Sorry -- we should've made this clearer. ARKit only works on devices running iOS 11, and some particular devices at that: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, iPhone SE, iPad Pro (9.7, 10.5 or 12.9) – both first-gen and 2nd

Could be interesting to combine it with things like https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/... for analytic motion solutions and then just express the scene as expressions in te

The extreme version of an ECS is an EAV: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–attribute–value_model When you further qualify by time/transaction you get EAVT like Datomic and then just do queries (potentially re

This is a good line of thought, and one recent practical utility I had for this was, while meditating, invite the others in your mind to meditate with you as you discover them. Another is to let them communicate with each other and empathiz

Consider the dual nature of CSP and Actor models and how it reflects wave particle duality of information packet movement in a field.

Exactly.

There are many Lisps, they are not always like MLy languages like Haskell. Practical Common Lisp -> On Lisp -> Let Over Lambda with Keene and AMOP on the side are good for Common Lisp. Clojure has good resources too, Professional Cloj

Why not both?

the "learning" can come from things like the compounds in various food and so on! "learning" is, in a generalized sense, any non-genetically-bootstrapped environment->body information transference...

I see, yeah I misunderstood the levels of scoping involved in what you were saying. Cool! But yeah we gotta keep doing it until we can't, and leave a breadcrumb trail for others to continue.

I mean programming is already ASCII art. That's why we indent as opposed to directly writing minified JS and why { and } are mirrors of each other. Self-limiting beliefs like those expressed in the comment you are responding to are mor

Cool! Wonder what the graph exploration view would be like if you used a hyperbolic plane to embed it in haha: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_tree Nice work; seems like you hit a nice medium between trying

by nikki93 9y ago
Interesting can you edit code in the text view too? Wonder if this could be the one place to write your code too.

IMO the graphical representation some times removes accidental complexity by not needing names or producing orderings. eg. To write a non-tree graph you always need to introduce local names unless you use something like SKI combinators. Whe

What's funny is when we program we use ASCII art (indentation, things like the fact that [ and ] cause symmetric "box" look) to help us. If text was really all we needed, writing minified JS directly would be ok. Given a keyb

If you write software that needs discrete math, like probabilistic stuff or graphs, it will need discrete math. If you write software that is meant to simulate, like maybe even simulate real bridges, or video games, or generative art, non-p

The interesting thing is when it turns out you are exploring this hill-space by looking at the ground and nearby like bacteria or such, but over time "humans" have evolved things like being able to look toward someone that's

Wonder what you'd think of a pull + datalog mix, which is what Datomic / Datascript do: https://github.com/Datomic/day-of-datomic/blob/master/tutori... The neat thing about the syntax there is

What about in cases where there is no one "solution" due to an environment that you are embedded in or something: like writing a good song or making a painting or writing a nice poem for a friend?

Nice. I've actually found ideas in programming about modularity and complexity to be ways to approach such complexity in economics, physics, social relationships etc. "Notes on the Synthesis of Form" for example is about desi

Woah could you run this over Love 2D? Could also be fun with https://github.com/nikki93/cgame (game live coding + live editing environment).

Yeah totally. I think to go with the biological analogies Kay makes, having them be async objs running code they message-pass to each other makes more sense to me than like methods on classes. In the latter there is still a hierarchical ont

One thing that helps me is to keep a pencil handy and act as if I am noting the book for myself or a friend. So I mark important parts, say "see also <other thing>" or write little summaries in the margins. This turns the re
