2022 - To Read

Made an elementary color palette generator for use in my future tools here: https://t.co/mQLf8IQZ0vFeel free to fork and suggest if you know of some cool algorithms/ways to improve it.— Prathyush (@prathyvsh) January 1, 2022

man if you were born into the upper echelons in 18th century europe it was so easy to be a genius, go to uni at 14 then just go around sorting things into some categories you reckoned seemed right and be remembered as a groundbreaking scientific mind— michael wave (@SzMarsupial) December 31, 2021

as is my tradition I wrote a tiny review of every book I read this yearhttps://t.co/eWdhOguegwa highlight was doing a deep dive on the work of economist Samuel Bowles. I read 4 of his books and several papers. just very rewarding to thoroughly understand someone's thought— Toby (@tobyshorin) January 2, 2022

I'm going offline for the night, leaving a shattered and broken cruel world behind. Thanks all for enjoying the game.If you haven't got it but are interested, it's here (but the world is really falling apart):https://t.co/RNr655G8Ce— droqen... (@droqen) April 2, 2021

The rules definitely extend to all other Javascript frameworks. I've used very similar code many times, especially in 🤍 Svelte 🤍.If you're a Svelte-head, you might enjoy reading the above article, and also checking out some concrete code examples herehttps://t.co/0fJPJfwnDK pic.twitter.com/KqZL2VPTqu— Amelia Wattenberger ❄️ 華曼如 (@Wattenberger) March 25, 2021

i was thinking that WYSIWYG editing is the way it is partly because it had to conform to an existing cultural expectation of what a 'printed document' looks like, so you couldn't include computer-specific cues like these boundaries in your output https://t.co/29czOgVaqq— Omar Rizwan (@rsnous) April 4, 2021

A thread on 2-way links! I want to use them to interpret & contextualize what @Conaw, the Roam team & the #roamcult are building at @RoamResearch.This is a tentative, personal take. I'll first compare Roam to other hypertext landmarks, then imagine why it could get very visual. pic.twitter.com/6ddehkaJOX— Eli Parra 🌊 (@elzr) April 4, 2021

Some paradoxes of modern life:1. The paradox of reading: The books you read will profoundly change you even though you’ll forget the vast majority of what you read.— David Perell (@david_perell) April 5, 2021

the computer does not judge you other than in the precise in-the-moment way it judges youas soon as you start producing the right symbols for it to respond to you in a new way, it starts responding in that way, with no sense of history or impression of you as a fuckup— Chaos (@chaosprime) April 6, 2021

A nice directory of creator platforms which make payment data portable—i.e. so that you can move your work elsewhere without requiring all subscribers to re-enter their payment info. https://t.co/ckuPBFirawIt’s a subtle limitation of tools like Patreon but a very important one.— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) April 6, 2021

I really like the idea of model train layouts as programs. I have a shelved project to do one with a locomotive that can make its own switch decisions but passive trains on active tracks could also be interesting.https://t.co/fRB3m607Rg— Avi Bryant (@avibryant) April 6, 2021

What if our writing system had instead evolved from a tool with 2 points instead of 1? (ie - a compass-like device similar to what you used in geometry class)Another neat idea coming from the creative mind of Matthew Deblock @dscripting of our conlanger/conscripter community! pic.twitter.com/qonqrsXtSR— Mundy Reimer ⚙️🌿 (@HarmonicesMvndi) July 14, 2019

.@craigmod makes me wish I could code. "Moving through that jumble — with all of its perverted poetics of grep and vi and git and apache and .ini —and doing so with a fingers-floating-across-the-keyboard balletic grace, is exhilarating." https://t.co/hAYsr3D0uh— Vera Titunik (@vtitunik) April 6, 2021

In 1970s devs were measured in "instructions per man-month", but this metric failed as PLs got better. Instead, they measured: "the year in which 50% of the problems in an area can be programmed in less than an hour by a user knowledgeable in his field with one day of training" pic.twitter.com/hRBjJqA83l— Will Crichton (@wcrichton) August 27, 2020

Which notable programming languages do not have a specification? By "specification" I mean a prose document that comprehensively prescribes the language's intended behavior for the current major release. Documentation generally does not count.— Nintendo .DS_Store back in SF (@sliminality) April 7, 2021

An evocative ratio of generativity: “Total time to construct the linkage was less than 5 minutes, but over an hour was spent playing with it.”(from Sutherland, Sketchpad, 1963 https://t.co/mI7BKBj5Tt) pic.twitter.com/v8VuHXa3uv— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) April 8, 2021

Woah! A blog researching Walter Benjamin's research process."The book is already an outdated mediation, for everything is to be found in the card box of the researcher who wrote it, and the scholar studying it assimilates it into his own card index." https://t.co/Q0NJXdnub7— Gordon Brander (@gordonbrander) April 9, 2021
