when writing about mathematically esoteric concepts for workaday programmers interested in better understanding foundations of computing, there’s a tricky line to walk between “telling convenient but dangerous lies” and “failing to meet your audience where they’re starting from.”do you have examples of material (blog posts, course notes, video, toot threads, etc) that you think does a good job at this? let’s give some positive attention to people doing the work. self promotion encouraged!

(there is perhaps a separate question of whether that’s an audience worth appealing to: perhaps the sort of workaday programmer who would seek out this material is mainly interested in performing intellectual superiority to their peers and so unwilling to engage with the inherent discomfort of learning. but let’s be charitable for the sake of this post)

@ionchy @markusde they started making it real recently. there were all kinds of station announcements like “we’re gonna start actually enforcing fares soon” in the lead up

i once learned that for the cost of thirty american dollars and complicity in the gig economy, i can summon a vessel of about six servings of tiramisu to my doorstep. i live now with the burden of this knowledge

a generation of people enjoying the prosocial power of the internet before the age of slop: lets put all this cool stuff online for free! :)emboldened capitalists in the 2010s-20s: wow look at all the stuff these suckers put online for free. I wonder what’s the worst possible thing we could do with it

@lindsey having never heard this phrase before my best guess is that it’s a typo and they meant to say “weekly held”. it’s just a weekly meeting where everyone agrees with each other vehemently

@futurebird are they on the same platform? if so, i'd probably check how crowded the local is and base my decision to get on it or not on that.

somewhere a crow who studies human behavior is patiently explaining to their colleagues that actually humans are somewhat sophisticated primates who even seem to understand language to the level of a young hatchling, not just imitating sounds but even using them in appropriate contexts

thinking about a spectrum defined by the endpoints “corporate conference swag” and “party favors.” i like the concept of making copies of items with esoteric symbols and giving them to people. i don’t like the concept of proliferating poorly made stuff that will end up in the trash or cluttering a drawer

“complementary/competitive cognitive artifact” (david krakauer) names the distinction between tools for thought that build new cognitive skills vs those that replace them. i hate these terms yet the thing they name is something I want to talk about all the time. anyone got a different set of words?
