Imagine writing a technical manual using plain text. No "bolds", "italics" or "underline". No diagrams nor illustrations. No changes of fonts nor colors. And imagine having to write your manual using a text editor -- such as vi -- without any of the modern convenience one has come to expect out of Microsoft Word.
That is the sad state of affair of comments inside source code.

Trying to imagine hackers of cognition
and the infinite

Trying to imagine hackers of cognition
and the infinite 12/05/2003 01:49 PM

I've just read Mark Pilgrim's post, "The infinite hotel", which I'm sure I'll need to re-read a few times and chase down references to read. Also I'm reading Gödel, Escher, Bach again for the third time, since I first read it in high school and needed corks in my ears to prevent brain slurry from spilling out. I really need to read more of this sort of thing, refresh myself on all the math I took in college, and explore some of this really abstract stuff.

Something I've been musing about lately, without any real novel ideas or insights, is about the history of computation and these thinking machines. Not history in terms of events and when, but in terms of the concepts and discoveries leading up to keyboards, screens, and code today. Thinking about things like recursion, and sets, and logic, and all the patterns and revolutions in thought that are the basis for everyday business and life today.

I've been trying to imagine the world in each moment where each of these things were new, when these things were worked out in minds and on paper. When there were no computational engines available to carry out calculations or work out conclusions to logical constructions. Today, these discoveries are crystallized in computing architectures, and so geeks hack and play and learn by example. The construction of the CPU is objective fact, independent of subjective thought or understanding, and the behavior of code demonstrates the laws and rules. Before, the rules were carefully reasoned out and intuited from observations on the objective universe, but now they're assimilated by example from mechanically working artifacts.

I'm not sure I'm expressing this very well, or if my thoughts are very well formed altogether, but I'm trying to imagine mental life without readily available, objectively existing computational artifacts with which we can play, without prohibitive investments of effort or time. No scripting languages with which to just try out logical constructions. No calculators with which to solve formulae. All manual, all by hand, all worked out by careful thought and precision. I'm trying to imagine what geeks like me, as I am today, would be like at a time when everyone dealing in these things was an abstraction astronaut, and there was not really a such thing as that-which-just-works or worse-is-better. Does this make any sense?

Again, this is not really an expression of anything coherent or novel. This is mostly me just in awe of how we got here, and trying to get myself above the mode of being just a hacker chasing down the phylogeny of all that's come before, and into some meta-mode of understanding of the things behind what makes these thinking machines and the thinking itself work. Maybe after a few more decades of this I'll have some thoughts worth sharing synthesized from all that I've learned.

Student Blog Observations (emphasis  below is mine)

"On another note, the research via RSS experiment is working pretty well. Claire, who is doing a story on what effects the legalization of gay marriage might have on school sex ed curricula, is getting some great stories fed right to her from Google News. Others are reporting the same. It appears to make a difference when the research comes to you as opposed to having to find it. I'm thinking this will be a standard feature of my journalism student Weblogs from this point on. Now if I could just get some teachers interested in this feature..." [Weblogg-ed News]

A Few Words About The War

A Few Words About The War 03/21/2003 12:30 PM

For the past few days my TV has been fixed on CNN. I've been riveted to their coverage of this second war in the Persian Gulf, which is simultaneously complete and noble. I find myself continually having to keep in mind that this is a war. Bitter reminders are around every corner, however. At this hour thirteen coalition soldeiers, eight U.K. and five American, have lost their lives both in combat and accidents.

In my, ironically, U.S. History class this morning, I saw a girl near me holding a picture of some young man in military garb, and a set of dog tags, presumably his. Godspeed to him and all his brothers and sisters in combat in the Persian Gulf.

Here's a new addition to the IT dictionary:

laptop ballet: the movements made by a person hurrying to a meeting, when he realizes he does not know where this meeting takes place, and that information is only in the email, but he is too busy or lacking a suitable place to sit down, so he ends up running down the hallway, balancing the laptop with one hand, and using the computer with the other.

Sometimes you also see this being performed with PDAs and cell phones, but these are nowhere as spectacular as the full 3 kg IBM Thinkpad version, performed in a narrow corridor in sync with 20 other people.

New Year's Tradition: Banishing Words (yes, I've done this before) L.S.S.U has been making lists since 1976, but after all the censorship battles of the last year, they probably should be using less threatening terminology than "banished". Still, most of the terminology in this Hall of Shame list certainly deserves to be discouraged, derided and degraded.

Of course, Creative Deity Matt Groening does his own annual list of Forbidden Words, and some webhead has developed a cool webtool: The Forbidden Words Flagger.
