Inspired by recent teaching: one of my favorite things about Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming is that mutability is treated as a more complex/advanced add-on to a simpler core functional language.https://t.co/AGKwpY8rDp pic.twitter.com/3NSoiYGPGm— Jack Rusher (@jackrusher) January 10, 2022

Jeck was my introduction to textural music. Always wanted to see a live performance (never got the chance) — dozens of old record players spread around the room, each playing vinyls cut so they'd skip and loop, bathed in reverb.

Started reading "Art and Computation" by Miguel Carvalhais and after just few pages I know it's going to be a treat."Computational Art aesthetic centers (not on) simulating media and tools (...) but how meaningful and pivotal computation itself is". pic.twitter.com/YzGNrmuCxJ— Marcin Ignac (@marcinignac) May 10, 2022

Stebbing, Gramsci, Campbell, Geach, Lakatos Added; Ockham, Mill, Marx, Ayer, Fodor, and Others Updated - History of Philosophy
I’ve done a lot of work (in addition to the big interface upgrade) since May 2021 but I don’t know why I’ve waited this long to put together a blog post about it: I added Susan Stebbing, Antonio Gramsci, Donald Campbell, Peter Geach, and Imre Lakatos. I made substantive revisions with lots of new/edited sentences for William of Ockham (13), John Stuart Mill (14), and Alfred Jules Ayer (17). I […]

People typically associate apps with smartphones (in definition apps are just programs designed to execute tasks that don't run the computer itself). But apps are common in premodern books.

In 1922, Lewis Fry Richardson came up with the basic equations used to predict the weather. But computers had t been invented yet. So he proposed a stadium-like building with 64,000 “computers” (people) passing paper slips and choreographed by a conductor like an orchestra. pic.twitter.com/W1fztB91gn— Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman) March 11, 2022
