Kudos for the project, but I am afraid that if people keep calling random AR experiments "Dynamicland", it will quickly lose meaning - see https://paperprograms.org, a project much closer to Dynamicland, but at least still cognizant of the fact it's not a "small Dynamicland":

>Paper Programs recreates just a tiny part of what makes Dynamicland so interesting. To learn more about their system and vision, be sure to visit Dynamicland in Oakland -- and please consider donating, too!
>Paper Programs is inspired by the projector and camera setup of the 2017 iteration of Dynamicland. I liked how you could physically hold a program in your hands, and then put on any surface in the building, where it would start executing, as if by magic. [...]
>In contrast, Dynamicland is a community space designed around Realtalk. Realtalk is a research operating system (in development for several years) designed to bring computation into the physical world. It is more general than papers, projectors, and cameras. Dynamicland is intended as a new medium of human communication, and is designed to be learned and used by a community of people interacting face-to-face, not over the internet.

But also - I realize you know about the limitations, but being only able to interact with one static program at a time, and not being able to see the source code of the components is crucial, it's what makes it "not even a Dynamiclandish prototype" for me.

But I don't want to be a killjoy and kill your enthusiasm; I think it's great what you've done! But I'm just irked at namedropping Dynamicland like this.

I’ve heard this referred to as programmers syndrome. The tight hamstrings also lead to frequent lower back pain as does the lack of movement. It takes as little as 15 minutes of sitting for your spinal discs to compress. Moving your legs restores the blood flow. Similarly sitting makes it difficult for your heart to pump blood from your feet. And if course there’s the unsightly posture as well. All of which is restored with regular stretches, yoga, etc. I’m no medical professional as I’m sure those who are can tell but these are the things I’ve learned over the years in my own experience. A lot is within our control but I also know a lot of people who have done everything possible from a dietary and exercise standpoint and still need a bypass relatively early in life. I have an in law who was a surgeon himself. He came home one day after work and his wife asks how’d it go today and he said oh not bad I ran a few tests recently and checked myself into the or for a stint. He didn’t bother to tell anyone before and might have not have said anything afterward either. We look at the medical profession largely through the lens of how our insurers and policy makers want us to view medicine. We also see anecdotal information that fools us into thinking one thing when it’s really another. Often times the most analytical minds can forget that it takes quite a bit of study and rigor to reach a valid conclusion. And at the same time we are seeing that the human body is not just one thing but billions of cells and bacteria that are as different from person to person as fingerprints are unique to the individual. What disturbs me most about these articles is that they very subtly shape the mindsets and opinions we hold to be skeptical of surgery in general and to be skeptical of surgeries late in life as luxuries of a bygone era unfit for today’s ideal lifestyle of personal discipline and pious austerity. As far as I’m concerned we haven’t yet scratched the surface of what’s possible to extend life to 100 or even 200 or beyond. And what a fantastic exploration that would be - equally as rewarding as becoming an interplanetary species. Sadly the current mindset seems to be reverting to an age where 45 was old and 55 was an ideal time to die and just think of the cost savings windfall we’d have if everyone were to agree.

Both quality education and an appreciation for science and intellectual achievements in general, could easily be a big factor. These days, scientists, journalists and other truth-seeking professions are often criticised and discredited because the facts they find are politically inconvenient (global warming, anyone?). Education is often seen primarily as an expense, rather than an investment. People admire pop stars more than scientists. Truth is apparently whatever you strongly believe it to be, these days.

It doesn't surprise me at all that the current political climate is not great for fostering great minds.
I liked that explanation a lot and I've copied that quote for my collection, with attribution to pavish and a link to this thread.

It is not the first quote I collect from a pseudonym on HN.
Celebrating Tao's successes through media, movies and and other pop-culture vehicles, is very good, and I very happy this is happening.

Shining the light into the continent of Mathematics, and its celebrity inhabitants, brings attention and, just may be a bit of the appreciation, of complex and demanding it is to live there...

But, I do think, that to bring more and more people into the field, we have to also celebrate the diversity and range in the abilities, of the people who have, and who will have, contributed to the science of Mathematics.

I am sure that not every accomplished, and well respected mathematician need to have the cognitive brilliancy of Tao or Nash.

I find inspiration and, to a degree, comfort, in this quote by Alexander Grothendieck (specifically, the point where he felt, by far, he was not the most brilliant person in the room)

>"
..Since then I've had the chance, in the world of mathematics that bid me welcome, to meet quite a number of people, both among my "elders" and among young people in my general age group, who were much more brilliant, much more "gifted" than I was.

I admired the facility with which they picked up, as if at play, new ideas, juggling them as if familiar with them from the cradle—while for myself I felt clumsy, even oafish, wandering painfully up an arduous track, like a dumb ox faced with an amorphous mountain of things that I had to learn (so I was assured), things I felt incapable of understanding the essentials or following through to the end.

Indeed, there was little about me that identified the kind of bright student who wins at prestigious competitions or assimilates, almost by sleight of hand, the most forbidding subjects.
..

In fact, most of these comrades who I gauged to be more brilliant than I have gone on to become distinguished mathematicians.

Still, from the perspective of thirty or thirty-five years, I can state that their imprint upon the mathematics of our time has not been very profound.

They've all done things, often beautiful things, in a context that was already set out before them, which they had no inclination to disturb.

Without being aware of it, they've remained prisoners of those invisible and despotic circles which delimit the universe of a certain milieu in a given era.

To have broken these bounds they would have had to rediscover in themselves that capability which was their birthright, as it was mine: the capacity to be alone.”

Not only is it likely that, as you say, Rob Pike was aware of sum types, but he did not create Go on his own but it was created by a small team. Someone like Robert Griesemer, who studied under Wirth, would have known about them, if the others hadn't.

I have been using the Wirth languages a lot (Pascal, Modula), and one of the big appeals of Go to me is, that it brings back a lot from those languages to the modern times. The Wirth languages are far to underrated in programming today.
Ok, so back in the 90s I knew someone who was working in a research department. They had a big project that reminds me of this known informally as “desktop computing” (you’ll appreciate this is cutting edge early 90s tech, not a patch on what we have now).

Lots of work on dynamic image capture, lots of work on interpolating what’s going on due to the low (by our standards) capabilities of the camera. Except...

...the camera was, to say the least, badly documented. A research student going through the documentation (looking for something else) finally noticed the thing had been misconfigured the entire time. In fact, the camera was significantly more capable.

The camera got reconfigured, people continued to produce research papers and no-one died. It was, however, extremely funny.

I'd say the class name can be semantic whether it's semantic with regards to the components function, its form or something else. It's not self-evident to me that a name given to something in order to affect its form should be semantic with regards to its function, not its form.

As I understand utility-first CSS, changing the classes as in your example is very much what you might do. Why would this make sense? Because the situation where we want to "change how this component looks in the sidebar, but keep it the same as before in the footer", or "show this component slightly differently in a new context, without changing its appearance in its old contexts" is much more common than the situation where we want to change the look of a component everywhere it appears. In this case, utility-first CSS makes it very easy to make all these small, "one-off" changes.
Amazing how deep insights like Deming's are shallowed out by the consultant class.

I engaged with any number of useless "6 sigma black belt" champions that couldn't explain what was deviation from the mean or why +/- 3 sigma was a good thing. Let alone how it applied to software development and defect detection and variation.

The same applies today to all our "Agile" consultant friends who don't know what a scrum is or why the term is applicable, the "Scrum Masters" that run their daily "stand ups" without actually leading anything except that 15 minutes of the day, the "Product Owners" who have no idea what their "Product" is for or what the actual users need...

What goes around comes around...
I like your angle. It is interesting (although I am not sure if your list is fully hazardous). But is that what we have come to? That there is so many hazards and health risks out there that one more should not matter. It sounds to me that you are laying brickstones on the road to dystopia. It is not a sound argument that we should fix other things first. 5G is nothing to fix yet - we just have to stop introducing it.
> but Clojure, being so terse, is especially prone to becoming an unmaintainable mess.

Any programming language can be cryptic. Heck, you can write cryptic sentences in plain English. Clojure programmers usually (some sooner, some later) develop strong distaste to unmaintainable code. Rich Hickey talks about it in "Simple Made Easy" talk, which to Clojuristas is like a "Hail Mary" - everyone watch it at least once.

> You have to start developing sensibilities around entanglement. That's what you have to -- you have to have entanglement radar. You want to look at some software and say, uh! You know, not that I don't like the names you used or the shape of the code or there was a semicolon. That's also important too. But you want to start seeing complecting. You want to start seeing interconnections between things that could be independent. That's where you're going to get the most power.

That's going to be a no from me. I wouldn't want anyone from my network to input my details in there either.

2) The whole premise of "sending links" = "adding value" is flawed beyond repair.

3) In your form where it says "Amount of contacts" it should be "Number of contacts" instead.

4) Even if some people would pay for this (I wouldn't), $1 per contact is way too high.

In the article, the if check occurs in a finally clause. So the code would execute even if the constructor threw an exception. Hence the need to null-check it first.

Could you de-copyright things in this manner? Say I make locks that only open when they hear music from Disney's lion king. Are you allowed to play that song to open the lock, even without opening it? Does it matter if it was disney or me that made the lock?

Deja Vu is the feeling that a current event is identical to an event from memory.

That's possible already. But usually it is done at the machine level rather than at the processor level (2, 4 and even 8 slot machines exist but are expensive) once you get over certain limits. The kind of problems people tend to solve on such installations (typically clusters of commodity hardware) are quite different from the kind of programs that you run on your day-to-day machine, think geological analysis, weather prediction and so on.

At some point the cost of the interconnect hardware dominates the cost of the CPUs. Lots of parties, for instance Evan Sutherland (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=723882) have tried their hand at this, but so far nobody has been able to pull it off successfully.

Eventually it will happen though, this is an idea that's too good to remain without sponsors long.

Chiplets are just an admission that it is a hard problem. In the longer run the cost of interconnecting chiplets will go up again due to their number and then at some point the crossover point will be reached and we're off to some variation on self healing hardware all on one die.

The reason wealthy liberals want higher taxes is they get many times that in matching funds vs making a donation.

Even if taxes are much less efficient, having a lot more money in the pool means more of it ends up where they want to see it distributed.

Also, a lot of stuff the government does actually cost a lot of money and needs to be done but people wouldn't donate like infrastructure maintenance

I tend to think the term “victimless crime” is almost never applicable, but I’m really struggling to see an injured party here.
They wouldn't shoot someone because that person is an intruder. They would shoot that person because they think that person has a weapon and is about to harm them. The article says there was suspicion that the men's backpacks contained pressure cooker bombs, and they were doing it on September 11.

Consider Daniel Shaver, he was crawling on the floor with no weapon, but the police suspected he had a gun and was about to shoot them, so they shot him. The courts found the police not guilty.
> The ‘more to the story’ is possibly just affluence and family stability, which are also culturally embedded.

At a guess I would think these are the more important factors.

Being born into an affluent family gives access to higher likelihood of more varying influences and stimuli from an early age. Children are by their nature curious creatures, so having the possibility to satisfy their curiosity in more avenues should reflect on their later ability to absorb new information in these fields (because they already have an established baseline knowledge).

Family stability probably helps to support curiosity and emotional safety. When failures are treated as positive experiences ("what did we learn from this?"), as opposed to wasted effort, you are more likely to allow yourself to seek more such experiences.

Of course there are outliers. But over generations, I would expect more innovations and brilliant minds to emerge from families who can provide and support their offspring with the environment to flourish in their fields of interest.
What's always missing from these perennial CSS deep dives is that HTML already gives us a paradigm worth extending: generic constructs, used in domain specific contexts. Generic constructs are those that are devoid of domain specifics and can be used by HTML documents from other domains, e.g. links, paragraphs, buttons, tabs, and modals.

A link can refer to a user profile page or a news article. Both use the generic anchor "component", which comes from the wider universe of components applicable to most/all HTML docs. HTML: `<A class="user">`, CSS selector: `A.user`.

To extend this, a media card could represent a video or a book or a sidebar item. Both use the media card component's HTML structure but can be tweaked visually with CSS. The root element of the video media card would be `<DIV class="MediaCard video">` and would be identified with the selector `DIV.MediaCard.video`.

(PascalCase is arbitrary but I like that it harks to class naming conventions from OOP languages. You'd need some other naming conventions as well. I like `_title` for internal element class names, like private class members from OOP languages. Internal selectors would be built using the performant child combinator. Some of these patterns are more verbose than current alternatives, but it's also the minimum necessary to get crystal clarity around inherited and cascaded values. Preprocessor nesting makes this less painful. And `-highlight` for variants, because they resemble CLI switches. What about non-generic components? Those aren't "components" as defined here - they are simply higher-level HTML fragments, typically organized in source as an HTML template.)

This gives you two dimensions along which to flexibly organize things - the generic forms and the domain-specific applications, and should keep you from slipping down the slope to utility-dominant CSS.

Even if phones could be used as relays, or directly link to satellites, the government could always make the technology illegal on its territory.

Right now, couldn't a rogue Iranian ASN already allows internet access for a few selected people? (Who knows, maybe they even have undeclared optical fibers which go beyond frontiers)

Some protesters may have a privileged access, but they don't talk about it to keep it up.

Decentralization or not, a government can always ban a technology or a subset of it
Indeed. Even with some versioning schemes where 4.2 would equal 4.20 I wouldn't see the point in changing the title from what the project itself used. And if I'm reading this[1] correctly, the versions look pretty straightforward (i.e. 4.1 < 4.10 etc.).

Well the next question is: what is it about income that positively affects cognitive development? I doubt it's the smell or taste of dollar bills; more likely that money affords better parenting techniques, including but not limited to keeping your children's screen time limited.

Brutalism is a strange style. It alienates but I always feel it is closer to humans than most modern buildings.
Indeed. More than once, I have seen program projects ruined by creating an overly elaborate class hierarchy, sometimes 10 layers deep. Just to express any theoretical aspect of the domain in the structure of the class hierarchy. Java programs often suffer from this. Which is especially sad, as Java has interfaces, which I think are the right way of representing abstract types for APIs for example. Interfaces don't force you to into a type inheritance just to fulfil a contract. But unfortunately, they are way to rarely used.
I have to agree that Clojure is enlightening:-)
I'm not sure that I agree. These things happen, being open about it, just makes you think like that.
