> I mean that if a conversation already leaves places for people to enter and yield without interruption, interruption itself is a correction but one you don’t need often. Ah I think I might see what you're getting at here. I have s

Huh, that's pretty interesting. It reminds me that I had a workplace experience related to this recently I was working with a client based in another country (which made me a little less certain about customs/etiquette), and our r

I think I see what you're saying, and it makes sense. But in a scenario with abusive power dynamics injustice is going to play out the same regardless of preferred conversation style, an outlet will trivially be found.

It's already been said plenty of times that mutual trust is a requirement, this will be my last reply to your comments if you keep straw-manning.

I have a good friend I speak with many hours a week who makes an especially interesting case for our discussion here. He is the person I know who most strongly alternates between both of these styles: when he's in a good mood, relaxed,

Great explanation, thanks. I actually played MtG a bit when I was a kid and have a vague recollection of interrupts but don't think I understood the stack dynamics too clearly. Insightful design decision to disallow stack referencing l

This is an interesting additional aspect to the situation. I wouldn't deny at all that what you're describing happens, but whether it's a problem or a solution is debatable imo ;) Is it always better to have an enforced equal

It's a good distinction. Unfortunately the term "interrupt" here is a bit overloaded since you definitely get some real assholes interrupting for nefarious purposes. "Cooperative overlap" often gets used to describe

The rules (although I'll argue none are needed, see below) really are quite simple: yes, what I described above works recursively: there is no difference between a counter-interrupt and a counter-counter-interrupt. All of this hinges o

Ironically it sounds like you didn't actually read my comment at all, but if you wouldn't mind providing a little more detail on how you derived your stance from what I said I'd be happy to take a listen.

That's a good addition: if the participants do not trust one another, the interrupt-denies and counter-interrupts are not going to work. As far the actual signaling goes, AFAICT it's pretty built-in (though I can imagine in other

Here's why interrupt is inherently more efficient: as long as both participants are willing to yield to interrupt-denies and counter-interrupts when interrupting, you have shifted the communication mode from: A) Anticipate up front w

I’ve been working on a queue-centric desktop app GUI for SD: https://twitter.com/westoncb/status/1568114946235580418?s=46... I plan to wrap things up and put out the source this weekend.

It’s not that crazy, assuming they’re equating it with everyone having a general purpose computer in their pocket (probably a greater impact on society than the previous personal computer revolution). But yeah, maybe a bit over the top...
